PAYING POLITICAL DEBTS.
Superintendent Glenn, of the Deaf and Dumb
Asylum, Forced to Resign.

DR.. Glenn, who has held the position of super
intendent OF the Deaf and Dumb Asylum
since 1878, has been asked by the trustees of the
institution to resign. No charges have been
preferred against him, and his removal is for the
sole purpose of paying a political debt. Colonel
Eli Baker has been elected to the position, not
on account of any superior qualifications for the
work, but, it is said, because he has claims upon
Doctor Harrison, the political head of the
official boards of the benevolent institutions,
who is credited with having effected the change.
Several years ago Baker was deputy warden of
the northern penitentiary,' and his connection
with the slop contracts of the institution was
a matter of some unpleasant prominence. DR..
Glenn will retire as soon as he completes his re
port for the fiscal year, which will be about the
18th of next month, and he will then return
to Muncie, his former home. He is now receiv-
ing the same treatment that was administered
to his predecessor, DR.. McIntire, for his advan-
tage. The disreputable political methods of the
Harrison official boards have brought about the
removal of the superintendent of three of the
institutions.
A Journal reporter has authoritative ,informa-
ton that the session of the board of trustees,
when the change was made, was a tempestuous
one. DR.. Glenn at first refused to resign without
some cause for his removal could be shown. No
reason for dismissing him was offered, but Har-
rison told him that if he did not resign he
would be removed, and that it was simply a mat
ter of choice for him to say in what manner he
would prefer to 60. DR.. Jones, the
third member of the board, vigorously pro.
tested against the change, and loudly declared
that he would resign before he would allow DIR.
Glenn to be removed. The State officers en-
deayored to bring abouta temporary compromise,
and proposed that Glenn should ut least be con
tinued in Office until after the adjournment OF
the Legislature. Harrison, however, refused to
give any consideration to the proposition, be
cause he had deferred making the change until
after the election to save the party from the
political effect of the outrage, and Baker had
waited long enough for his reward.

The Same old Story.

Owing to the continued falling off of Grand
Trunk receipts, the company has notified the
men along the line of a further reduction of
wages of 5 to s per cent. 'Still another" The
Delaware, Lackawanna 6 Western road has be-
gun to retrench by discharging its help. These
items were clipped from Eastern exchanges, and
from papers the railroad editors Of which never
seem happier than when rates are cut to so low
a figure that q road cannot pay operating ex-
penses. 1t will be noticed that the roads above
named have been noted for months past for cut
as "a result the employe is the sufferer. There
is not a shipper in indianapolis that would not
rather pay a fair rate to the road carrying his
property, than have a road carry it at a figure
which leaves no margin, as he knows low rates
mean cut down expenses, and when the en-
ployes' wages are cut down, or he is discharged,
business is more or less unfavorably affected.

The Erie railroad is to use soft coal again.
After trying hard coal for a while they are sat

The Wagner car shops at Buffalo are e-paint-

color which has been selected is a dark green.
The freight trains on the West Shore now av-

an ordinary freight engine hauls over the road
without trouble.
Only seven tons of rails were shipped to this
country from Great Britain in September. The
smallest shipment previous to that time was

The President has accepted a section of TWEEN

Washington Territory, extending southeast

One of the laws of the State of Michigan reads
as follows:
No person shall be employed as engineer, train dis

For violation of this law railway companies
are subjected to a fine of $500 for each offense.

Sec the Imnortance of the Change.

Probably p~rofting by the comments of the
Journal regarding the lukewarmness of the
Lake Shore people toward the Decline, they
have reconsidered their refusal to haul the Bee
line through coach from st. Louis to Boston on
their fast express out of Cleveland at 2:30 P. NJ,
and commencing with Sunday next they will
haul it with this train. By this change New
England passengers will reach Boston at 2:30 P.
Nj. the second afternoon out from st. Louis,
enabling them to take trains out of Boston over
any of the Boston roads without trouble. At
the same time it gives the Decline the prestige
of making the best time between the West and
New England, going east as we'll as coming
west. The Importance of the change has been
urged several times in the Journal.

WHITTIER DriftinpP

A railroad man of large observation and of a
Eery conservative character remarked yesterday
that the situation with railroad interests in this
country was really becoming alarming. In the
East, the West, the North, the South, unfortunate
railway wars were raging; rates are cut to such
a depth that many roads were finding it difficult
TO meet operating expenses without borrowing
money, to say nothing of the dropping in arrears
in interest on bonds and the payment of divi-
dends, and unless there is soon some
power takes hold which can put a
stop to the reckless Strengthening Of both
passenger and freight rates, the end must be
bankruptcy to two-thirds of the roads engaged
these wars is to diminish the revenues and do
2lete the treasures Of rival organizations to a
damaging extent, and that end is nearly ALWAYS
attained IN one, several, or many quarters by
protracted conflicts, The present condition and
outlook for railway property is sufficiently dis
souraging to render special and extraordinary

VIII Drop the l., p. & G. January 1.

An official of the Wabash is quoted as saying
that the Wabash. st. Louis 6 Pacific company
will drop the indianapolis, Peru & Chicago road
entirely January l, and will cease to operate the
northern division probably prior TO that date.
This would seem like adding insult to injury, as
one who is posted in the situation of the road
must know that the road from indianapolis to
Peru is indispensable to the division from Peru
to Michigan City, and, vice versa. The northern
division is of great value to the indianapolis di-
vision, and so directly is the Cutting syndicate
interested in both divisions a separation is
hardly probable. By the by, it is limited that

efforts to enforce the 'beggar our-neighbor'
policy unnecessary. The existing danger is
rather that roads will become too poor than that
they will be overburdened with redundant
credit and a plethora of riches. One of the
worst features of these wars is that it is too
often in the power of any one of half a dozen
rivals to iniure all its competitors as well as
itself whenever a desire to adopt destructive
war measures becomes irresistible. This old
plan of settling railway disputes by wars is SO
barbarous and destructive that it is to be hoped
rational and conservative methods of some kind
may soon be devised and approved by all the
contestants. Yet at the present time the man

ways, he said, were disregarding all rules that a
