THE INDIGNATION MEETING.
A Graphic Account of the Great Meeting; in
Music Han.

Cincinnati News-JouTnal, Yesterday.
The indignation of the people over the verdict
Of the Berner jury boiled over last evening 4
crowd, limited only by the capacity of Music
Hall, assembled to express their disgust and in
dignation. A few minutes after o'clock there
must have been 10, 0G0 people in the nall This
temple, devoted to music and the drama, so often
resonant with the notes of operate stars and the
lusty cheering for the acts of famous tragedians,
now trembled under the weight of thousands of
honest citizens to give expression to outraged
feelings in behalf of outraged justice. No dra
matte festival, no opera festival no convention,
no meeting of any kind ever held in Music Hall
ever numbered SO many people. The crowd was
mammoth, gigantean. 1t was awful in its pom
derosity and terrific III significance
Sitting on the stage, filed with old and veneer
ated citizens met to protest, and glancing out
over the auditorium, the scene was one not to
be forgotten IN life time. In the main hall
there was, indeed sea of upturned faces 1t
required no second glance to discover not an
empty seat. Looking over dreary mOnotony
Of earnest faces below, and turning for change
to the galleries above, the feeling Of impending
calamity is only intensified The first gallery
is but repetition of the auditorium scene and
the second gallery a picture of the first. Not
only are the seats filed, but men are pushing
providing and jostiug in the corridors. They
crowded for place to lean against the gallery
walls. Sturdy policemen fought them back
lown stairs to keep them from filing the aisles

THE CHICAGO FAST MAIL.


A Serious and UnanswerabIe Statement of
the Objections TO 1t.
Minneapolis Tribune
The real and the only objection to the present
management of the fast mail is that il serves no
useful purpose whatever to the people of the
Northwest 1t does not get our New York and
New England letter mail into the hands of our
business men an hour earlier than formerly
while in the case of the Chicago mail the new
arrangement is an absolute detriment Under
the old system the Chicago mails leav-
ing that city at o'clock in the even
ing reached Minneapolis between 2 and 8
business quarter before the close of business
hours On the present plan these same Chicago
mails, being held over in idleness at Chicago
from O'Clock at night until 3:30 IN the morn
ing, reach this city too late TO be placed in the
hands of our business in time to receive
attention on the same day In other words, we
are no better in regard to New York and east
eln mails, and we are practically eighteen hours
worse OFF in regard to our Chicago mails
which are, on the whole, more important
than any other Anyone who cannot
understand this proposition will have to
excuse us from furnishing him both with argu
ments and brains TO comprehend them. 1t is de
slrable that the fast mail should be continued,
but only on condition that il can be made in fact
a benefit, and not au actual damage. Ali this
could be accomplished by introducing little
business sense and energy into the transfer OF
the mails through Chicago after the arrival Of
the Eastern train. Postmaster general Gresll-
ANS suggestion that the Minneapolis train is de-
layed at Chicago for three hours after the ar
rival of the eastern fast mail simply because tho
latter lis liable to be delayed at times" would
deserve to be ridieuled if it had come from any
less respectable source All trains from the East
are Liable to be detained at times but railway
companies have never been known TO make up
their time schedules on u basis of these hypo-
thetcal and occasional lapses. 1t would be en-
trely sufficient to hold the Minneapolis train to
a later hour in the morning. whenever the east
ern train should be tardy in its arrival and there
is no reason to believe that these occasions would
arise once a month. The simple fact of history
is that the acknowledgement started out with
the intention of placing the fast mail on
a business basis involving a delay at Chicago
of about one hour and twenty minutes
for the necessary transfer of the mails, which
would bring the train into Minneapolis at about
2 o'clock. But in Chicago he was surrounded by
the proprietors and managers of about all the
morning papers, and in the present sensitive po-
htieal situation he permitted himself to be bull
dozed into making a concession which has sim
ply rendered useless an enterprise for the ncep-
ton Of which he deserves much credit, but
which, as at present perverted. promises to re
fleet no glory upon anybody. We predict that
there will be either reform or a discontinualee
inside Of q month.

NEVADA.
A State With Less Than One-hrth the
Population OF Washington,

New York Commercial Advertiser Pos
A Nevada man who read my last weeks
paragraph in "Odds and Ends" about Senator
Jones's candidacy tor reelection says that a
very peculiar condition of affairs exists in
Nevada at the present time, which is certain
to attract public attention sooner or latter
The population of the state has dwindled
since the census of 1880, when it was put
down at about 62,000, to about 10000, of whom
probably one-third are voters. The mines no
longer produce as of old and as there is little
arabic land in the state the inhabitants have
been leaving in large numbers for now min
ing fields, until it is not uncommon to SEQ
places which were once populous now almost
entirely deserted. Tho result of all this Is
that very few persons have to pay all the
expenses of maintaining n state government
and there is much grumbling in consequence.
Outside of the office holders and some few
who are in an attitude of expectancy
there is hardly property owner in the state
who would not gladly welcome return to
territorial condition, were such thing posi-
BILE and thus throw upon the general govern
ment tho expenses now borne by the people.
But"once q state always state"is the doctrine
of this union, and Nevada must stand up to
the rack as long as there is voter left
within her borders. No matter how small
her population may become, she will con-
'tinue to have one representative aud two
senators in congress.
