East-Bound Rates stin Unsettled.

has been the result of the long continued nego-
tations for restoration of east-bound passenger
rates, and there is little promise that it can be
broken by further negotiations or arbitrations
Indications that neither faction will yield I'M
less forced to do so by vigorous war. There is a
poorer prospect for peace than al
any time since the east-bound pass
enger pool collapsed and it will not be
surprising should a sanguinary conflict be in
augurated at any moment. The whole trouble
is due to the fact that some roads want to open
wide the door to indiscriminate paying of com
missions, while others are as strenuously opposed
to the practice. With a view to adjusting their
differences the general passenger agents of all
trunklnes east from Chicago, except the Balti-
more & Ohio, met here today, but were unable
to reach an agreement for restoration of rates,
and adjourned indefinitely.

The Globe Line Again in the Ring.

The Globe fast-freight line has come out from
under cloud, the difficulties embarrassing it
having been settled. In the operations the Buff
falo New York & Philadelphia will take the
place of the Lackawanna g. Pittsburg which is
in itself an assurance of large traffic. The con
tract was signed on Saturday last by President
G.. Clinton Gardner of the railroad company
and takes effect Jan. l. Under this new ar.
rangement the Globe line will have the advantage
of what it was exceedingly difficult to get from
the Lackawanna 6 Pittsburg, and that is sufi
cient motive power, plenty of rolling stock, well
equipped repair-shops etc. The freight will
come east over the West Shore to the Genesee
junction. whence it will DO taken to Pittsburg

competition close enough to decrease profits
Don't be surprised to see Southern railroad prop
critics have a considerable boom quite while
before Northern and Western roads begin to i'm
prove.
The Walla Walla Union, in referring to the
close of the cattle business on the Northern Pa
cidc road, says that the figures for 1884 show a
notable increase Upwards of 1000 carloads
or $4,000 head, of cattle were sent East from
Montana and western Dakota, as against some
1000 carloads or Sc 900 head, in the season Of
1888. The west business has also had a
surprising development. The precise number of
cattle sent to the grazing fields of western Da-
kota and Montana this year is given as 80, 8l9.

APoint for hIr. Frenzel.

In a recent interview in the journal, John P.
Frenzel, banker, expressed the opinion that the
danger to the building and loan associations of
of this city lay in the fact that they were not
managed by business men, If Mr.. Frenzel had
attended the convention of building and loan
association men at the Civil Circuit courtroom,
last night, he would have discovered cause to
amend his statement A keener or more level
headed assembly, or one with more straight
forward business sense, it would be difficult to
find in any community.

The San Francisco Chronicle says "Such ex-

missoners and Charles Francis Adams tell us
that competition will eventually regulate rail
way charges But we have now learned that
railway wars are sham battles. which are fought
merely for the purpose of determining what is
the fair share Of each warning road in the COM

acknowledge that rates in all parts of the coun-

the last three years, and if competition has not
effected such results, what hasl Even the

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan 3.-The annual
meeting of the Indiana Democratic
Editorial State Association was held in
this city to-day. There were about one
hundred and twenty editors present.
The chief interest centred in theaddress
of Joseph e. Mcdonald. His subje t
was " Our Commerce and its Relations
to the State OF Indiana" 1t was ex-
pected that his subject would embrace
the tariff, but be did not refer to that
question, ard said nothing of interest to
the political world. His remarks were
received without enthu siastn. and but
little interest was manifested in his ad-
dress.
An enthusiastic Mcdonald man Of
fered a resolution declaring Mcdonald
the conventions choice for President
of the United States. This caused con-
siderable debate, and Col. l. s. Nc
Donald, J. B. Stoll, Reuben DALEY, ,and
others thought the resolution was out
of order and deemed its passage inex-
pedient and unnecessary, as it was al
ready understood that Senator McDon-
aid was the choice of the Indiana De-
mocracy for GhePcesidency. Although
the resolution evidently expressed the
sense of the association, the Hendricks
men had sufficient influence to cause it's
