Acton Camp Meeting.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal
1 am always glad to see sin attacked and re-
buked, wherever it is. hope you will set forth
in the strongest light possible to your forcible
pen the evils of Sabbath breaking, morally,
socially physically, whether in the church or
out of it; and may you be grealy aided by sym
pathy from the good, and only stung to activity
and force by the opposition and spirit of the vio
latOrs of law and order
The Acton mp-meeting Association, as now
conducted, is very serious evil; but any person
may buy tent and then he is entitled to vote.
So, you see, members of the church ought not
to be held wholly responsible for all that is done.
The conference is strongly opposed to the run
ming of Sunday excursion trains but the man
agement is not in the hands of the conference,
or it would very quickly be stopped. The quar-
terly conferences have no longer any voice in
selecting the officers; tent-owners now control
the matter. 1t has been serious question with
conscientious people what to do. Every minis
ter but one voted against Sunday excursion
trains.
Now. sir, what is the best course to pursuel
The large majority of Methodists are opposed to
Sabbath excursion trains but many good people,
who used to enjoy the spiritual part of the camp
meeting, have withdrawn from 1t, and thus
weakened the force against the evil. | see two
courses open to the friends of law and order.
One is to remain and fight it out in a united and
intelligent way under a capable leader. The
other is that ministers and all law and order
people should Withdraw themselves from it.
am willing to do either way to remedy the evil.
/, therefore, propose that there shall be called a
convention at indianapolis, consisting of Meth
odists who have tents now, or who would tent If
there were no Sabbath excursion trains to Acton
camp ground, and let there be agreement.
First, let all tent holders and attending minis
ters who oppose Sabbath excursion trains, and
are in favor of closed gates all day Sunday,
agree to act together-that is, if the majority of
such decide to go on and fight the Sabbath break
ing management of the camp meeting-and let
there be rally of that element in order to re-
cover the camp meeting from the burning dis
grace of the participation in the proceeds of the
Sabbath excursion trains.
Second, let there be free and candid discus
sion of the question so that there shall be clear
convictions of what is best to do, namely. wheth-
er to abandon the whole thing to pleasure re
sort-where the evil shall not be lcssened, but
| increased-or shall there be united and well
ordered effort to redeem it from the management
that has brought such stain on the churchl
/ propose that J. b. Conner Levi Ritter, Dr.
Marine and Rev. NJ. L. Wells, and whoever else
they shall call to consult hold meeting to de-
eide what is best to do, and do it soon.

Specializing railroad Presidents.

Several railroad presidents, in the last few
weeks, have come to grief through what is known
in railroad parlance as "pegging,' President
Baldwin, of the Louisville & Nashville, being
the last victim. Mr.. Baldwin can hardly be cen
sured however, as he has made good to the com
pany all the losses incurred in his endeavors to
sustain the market. In commenting on Mr..
Baldwin's misfortunes, the New York Post says:
The question why he, or any other railroad
president or officer, should make such eff
forts and run such risks, in order to
sustain the market quotations of their respective
properties, is one which has been often asked
and has never been satisfactorily answered. Sus-
tanning the market in such cases means buying
all the stock offered for sale. 1t has no neces-
sary relation to earnings, dividends. expenses
fixed charges floating debt, or any of the causes
which underlie the market price of stocks. 1t
means simply ''pegging, i. e. giving an order
to brokers to buy the stock whenever it is offered
at certain figure so that the public may be led
to believe that it is safe for them to buy it. also
whenever it is at or near that figure.

VIII the Gates BE Closed?


To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
We are being censured dindiscriminately by the
press for the action taken by the camp-meeting
association in favor of Sunday trains. The vote
stood 43 against So in favor of closing the gates
on Sabbath day. Now, in justice to the minis
ters present and entitled to vote, there was but
one who voted for Sunday trains, viz: Rev. jam
ison, the other twenty five to thirty voting to
close the gates. Some fanatics will say why do
the preachers go upon the grounds, or have any
thing whatever to do with the meeting so long
as Sunday trains are permittedf Any
fair-minded person must see that this
would only increase the odium already
attaching to the camp meeting. We seem to for
get that this is Methodist camp ground and
the Methodist Church is held responsible for
whatever it does: and, if the ministers should
stand aloof, would it not naturally become more
secular and more given to pleasure2
l claim it to be the duty of every minister, as
we'll as every Christian layman, TO stay with the
organization, and contend for the right until it
shall be secured Now, AS to the trustees
elected last Tuesday, four out of the five are in
favor of closing the gates on the Sabbath, and
the writer has the assurance from a majority of
them that they intend this year to order the
gates of the camp ground closed on the Lords
day. ). w. DUNCAN.

It has been before the public for nearly
forty years, and has constantly grown
in popular favor, both at home. and
abroad, until there is hardly place in the
civilized world where it has not host OF
friends, made 80 by its marvellous cures.
1t has been used in, and approved by,
at least 100000 families in the United

Women have especial reasons for com
mending it.
1t has proven its potency in curing
obstinate, deeply-seated, and long-stand-

blood. 1t must not, however, be ex-
pected and is not claimed that single
bottle will cure such cases; but patients
should persevere in the use of this remedy
until radical cure is effected.
1t is the only blood-purifer that has won

of all tropical countries, where such medi-

The Cause of President Ingalls, Lulkewarm-
ness.

1t is understood that NJ. E. ingalls,, president
of tho Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St Louis & Chi
cago road, is one of those who believes that the
Wabash people propose to unload their non-pay-
ing leased lines, and that he has his eye on the
old Toledo Peoria & Western road, which would
give the c.. l.. st. L. g. c. a grand Northwestern
outlet and valuable feeder. Possibly this may
account for President ingalls, lukewarmness to
work in connection with the Chicago & Rock
Island road The Toledo, Peoria &
Western extends from the Indiana and
Illinois State line to Burlington. The
Wabash people guarantee 7 per cent. on the
S. 800 900 first mortgage bonds. The mortgage
may be foreclosed after six months default in
paying the interest President ingalls,, by Sc
curing control of this road, would secure excel
lent connections with the Chicago & Alton at
Chenoa, ILL.,, the Rock Island & Peoria and the
Chicago Burlington & Quincy at Peoria with
the Rock Island proper at KeOkuk, the G., B. &
@. proper at Bushnell and at Burlington would
connect with the Burlington, Cedar Rapids &

friends of the Hoosac Tunnel line have rallied
and are endeavoring to arrange to operate over
the same roads that the new West Shore fast
freight line does, which is much like a drowning

Shore & Buffalo road now has about as many

years, threw all the obstacles in its
way possible, finally being driven by
the Boston & Albany people to throw the line off

known for years that the Bee-line management
had no love for it, favorng the White line.
When thrown off the Vanderbilt lines the shrewd
freight men on the Erie offered it shelter, and
after a few months announce officially that they
have absorbed it and that after June it will be
