washington's Farewell Address.

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
Additional light may be thrown upon the
present discussion in the newspapers of the
authorship of Washington's Farewell Address
by the following extracts of Hamilton and
Washingtons letter.
In letter to Washington May 10, 1896, Ham
ilton says, "Wh9n last in Philadelphia you men
toned to me your wish that 1 should redress a
certain paper which you had prepared. AS it is
important that a thing of this kind should be
done with great care and much leisure, touched
and retouched submit wish that as soon as
you have given it the body you mean it to have
it may be sent to me-. On May Is following it
was sent to Hamilton in its rough
state. somewhat altered since Hamilton
had seen it, and Washington said in his letter to
Hamilton of that date: IF You should think best
to throw the whole into different form, lot me
request, Notwithstanding that my draft be re-
turned to me (along with yours with such
amendments and directions as to render it as
perfect as the formation Is susceptible of;
tailed if too verbose, and relieved of all tau
tology not necessary to enforce the ideas in the
original part. My wish is that the whole may
appear in plain style and be handed to the pub
lie in an honest, unaffected, simple garb'

vexed question to how much of the
address was founded on Washigton's Original
notes and heads of topics" how much was elab
grated by Madison and how much due to
Hamiltons revision AS said by jefferson,
quoted in your editorial April 80, Washington
had determined to retire at the close of his first
term, and he had requested Madison,
nj contemplation of such retire
ment, to elaborate his notes and heads
of topics, but act being in confidential intimacy
with Madison at the close of his second term
he turned the address over to Hamilton whom
he had previously consulted as shown by the let
ter from Hamilton, quoted above. ''The whole
came under Washington's supervision and the
instrument as submitted to the press was in
Washington's hand writing with great many
ultimate corrections and alterations made by
him." The address certainly breathes his spirit
throughout and is certainly in perfect accord
ance with his words and actions, and is in an
honest, unaffected garb, and embodies his sys-
rem of policy on which he had acted during his
administration, says Irving
The claim of authorship to the address is GER
tainy as strong in Washington's favor as that of
JeffersOn's to the Declaration of Independence
for while it is not to be doubted that jefferson
penned the declaration, yet long prior to its
adoption, at many meetings of the people and in
many of the legislatures Of the colonies, reso-

Against the Liauor League.

10 the Editor OF the Indianapolis journal;
The editorial in Mondays Journal, ''The Har-
vest of Whirlwind" is timely and well taken
and the sowing of saloons in Cincinnati was the
chief cause of the recent little cyclone. The
whole liquor traffic is in rebellion against the
laws and civilization of this country, and as all
seem to confess that license and taxing the bust
ness have increased rather than diminished its
growth, why not try what all liquor and beer
dealers dread-prohibition I wish the journal
would just change the title of the editorial re-
ferred to- and let its readers have the article I'M
changed "The Harvest of the Saloon Traffic"
would be an improvement for title. and scarcely
change a word in the editorial
We often wonder now why the Wing party
undertook the hopeless task of competing with
the Democratic party to get the goodwill and con
fidence of the slave brigands of the South. But
the leaders did and the party died. There will be
another funeral as sure as the Republican politi-
clans undertake longer to compete with the con
scienceless Democratic politicians to hold or win
the corrupt and dangerous voters controlled by
the drink traffic. Those who believe the traffic
can be restrained in the interests of sobriety by
taxing or licensing it, have passed beyond the
line of facts or reason. If half of the saloons
are closed by high tax or license, the other half
will sell double the beer and whisky. This de-
itics-already owns the Democratic politicians,
and a good many of the Republican politicians
are wanting and willing to be bought, and can
only be saved from this disgrace by the sover
eign masses forbiddng the trade, and at once
kicking all the beer kegs and whisky barrels out
of the party Silence on the part of the Re
publican State convention, under the threats
and menaces Of the saloon traffic, will be a
shameful cowardice, that has no parallel in his
tory, and will place its actors as black page
as that occupied by the doughfaces and copper
head who licked the feet of the slave drivers
from 1854 to 1865 rhe intelligent voters of
this State who have but little interest in office
holding, are getting tired of being dictated to by
the lawless element engaged in the liquor bust
ness. They are tired of the taxes levied to sup
port paupers and criminals; tired of the cor
ruption in office by those nominated by the sa-
loon interest, and will demand Of the next con-
vention that there be a dissolution from the
liquor league, and square fight made for the
suppression of tipping houses. The convention
ought to be brave enough, if the traffic be right
to defend it, if wrong, to denounce it.

Company.

Company.
1t is to be regretted that there is so much of
a clashing of views between the arrangements of
the Union Railway Company and of the Cincin-
natl, Hamilton & indianapolis, and matters are
working more toward variance than harmony.
The c.. H. & l. people do not take kindly to the
new order, that all through business must be
transferred over the Belt road, and yesterday,
as heretofore transferred their through cars
over the Union tracks, claiming that to comply
with the order of the Union Railway Company
their expenses would be too much increased.
Now for the facts in the matter: The Union
Railway Company ordered the property ap
praised by the engineers of the nine
roads now In the company and they
propose to fix rental for running passenger
trains over the Union track, and the occupancy of
the Union depot with trains; At per cent.
interest the appraised value of the
property, as the property now stands ap-
praised, assuming that fourteen roads use the
Union tracks for passenger trains and occupy
the Union Depot, the c., FL. g. D. people will
pay annually but s., $50, while they now pay
Sc, 600 year. OF course, when proposed inn
provements made the rental of z per cent in
terest on the Union railway property will be
larger than now, but the accommodation will be
porportinately better. Above all this the Union
Railway Company now propose to maintain and
operate the Union railway and Belt road on the
earnings from the wheelage of cars passing over
the tracks of the two. 1t would seem that this is
fair, asno road would pay more wheelage than their
cars made, and it is for the interest of all roads
to keep down operating expenses Hence the
amount charged for wheelage cannot be
more than reasonable sum, and certainly will
not amount to as much were the c., H. g. 1.
to pay its Sc, 900 year rental and the old price
for transfer of cars over the Belt road so cents
per car. There is danger of the c., H. & l. PEG
pie overreaching in this matter, as there is de-
termination to relieve the Union tracks of all
through business.
