LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.


To the Ed ~ II e." .auaeois Journal;
There seems to be, in some quarters oppo-
sition to the national Republican committee
making a canvass of the Southern States and
organizing the Republicans of the South for the
campaign. Would it not be grave mistake to
neglect entirely to aid the Republicans in that
section? The effect of thorough canvass in
the South would be to inspire Southern Repub-
icans with courage, and would tend to suppress
the political crimes and frauds on the ballot box
such as have occurred at the last elections
There is growing sentiment in the South in
favor of protection. The Democratic party, if
it is anything is frce-trade party, and Ameri-
can industries will receive no encouragement
from it. If the growing and already important
manufacturing interests of the South are to be
protected, it must be through the success of the
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1884-03-07

South understand that their prosperity depends
upon the retention of the Republican party in
power will not self-interest be powerful incen,
tive to act with that party which has fostered
American industries through a protective
policy? 1t would seem that now is
a most opportune time to enlist the business in
forests of the South in support of the Republic
an party. The people of that section are rapid
ly developing their resources. Cotton and iron
mills are being multiplied, and there is nothing
that will make men so tolerant as self-interest
The number of influential newspapers that have
become converts to the protection policy are not
a few. Let it be impressed upon them that they
have nothing to hope from the Democracy in
this direction and possibly they may take an
other step forward and act with the Republican
party. n. c. A RAYHoUsEB.

Peeping Into Sleeping Car Berths.

Friends of the Pennsylvania Company express
the opinion that Manager McCrea has over
reached himself in his order that his passenger
conductors should draw the curtains of sleeping
car berths and throw the full rays of their Ian
terms into the apartments and inspect the oceu-
pants, and they believe that on taking second
thought he will modify such orders. The proper
remedy against any crookedness on the part Of a
Pullmancar conductor would be for the train
conductor to go through the sleepers first and
take up all tickets before people retired and so
lew stops are made on night trains, We're any
passengers to take sleeping during
the night hours, the conductor could
easily take their tickets before they
retired. The fact is, should Mr. McCrea's order
be strictly enforced, it will drive the travel to
other roads A case in point is given which oc-

this statement the three purchased tickets over
the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis & Chi

state that the conductors on the Vandalia line
have received no instructions to withdraw the
curtains and inspect the occupants of the sleep

Farmers and the Tariff.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
The article in to-days Jaurnal, ''The Tariff
and the Farmers" is admirable. I doubt if the
author feels or knows how good it is 1t answers,
in a simple and suggestive way, good deal OF
questioning in the popular mind.
These simple calculations of tariff matters are
of great service to US in this locality. l hope
you will have one each week for three or four
months, and then put them in cheap pamphlet
for general distribution month or so before the
election.
The journal, in my opinion, was never so good
as now

Letting Down the Bars.

E. B. Thomas, general manager of the Bee
line system, yesterday notified the presidents
and general managers of the several roads cen
tering here, that on the first day of April they
would establish an outside Office at the Bates
House and resume the sale of tickets, putting on
a full line both to the East and the West. In
November 1882 the Union Railway Company
took action, proposing to close all outside offices
Dec. l, 1882. The order afterward so modi-
fed as to admit of leaving the outside offices
open as information bureaus, but no tickets
were to be sold. For couple of months the Or
der was observed but during that time three of
the roads made arrangements to sell through the
scalpers. This led one of the roads to investi-
gate, and after finding such was the case,
they began to sell in a quiet manner
over their counter. Some three months
since passenger agents of other roads became
convinced that such was the case. until, one by
one, all outside offices except those of the Bee
line have commenced to sell tickets openly or
in an undetermined manner, and the Decline
takes this step for self protection.

Favors the EstabIishlng Of Cleaning -Hous.

Commissioner Richardson of the Chicago &
Ohio river, is strongly in favor of the establish
ing of railway clearing house. He thinks a
solution of the difficulties rising from freight
tariff determinations, transportation rates and
other causes of friction in American rairoading
would result through the establishment of a
railroad clearing house, similar in it's methods to
the institution which the banks find useful
He argues that this would afford not only relief
from annoying and disastrous rate-wars. but a
general simplifying of business and saving of

years, the clearing act having been passed in
1850, and as long ago 1872 it was said that not

Two rransactiors in Bob. Con.

In California. in the days of the Com
stock excitement, when all kinds of Wild
cats were being 6oated on the market
and rapidly bought by an indiscriminat-
ing public, Mr.. Davis bought a claim,
known bv the name of the "Bobtail Con-
soLdated." The speculative Mr.. d. Or
ganized a company. To a par
ticular friend of his he sold large block
of 10000 shares at 81 per share.
For some time the mine amounted to
nothing, and after few 25.cent assess
m ents had teen levied the stock really
would not have been cheap as gift.
For this reason Mr.. Davis and the
friend to whom he sold the 10000 shares
as good thing were not on speaking
terms. One day, however, the friend, t.
his utter and complete establishment, re
ceived note, asking him to call at once
at the residence of Mr.. Davis. H'
went, and found Mr. Davis in bed. Th'
table was covered with medicine bottle
and Mr.. Davis looked as if his head hat
