1t is understood that under the new law,
which provides that several of the official reports
shall be published biennially hereafter,
instead of annually, the printing ex-
penses will be reduced $8,64762 Not
withstanding this reduction, which was the
only purpose Of the act, the law is a bad one,
and really effects no saving as, for instance, it
permits the publication of the State Statisticians
report only biennaIly, although he is required to
collect the statistics annually. In consequence,
the statistics are stale and of little use when
published, while the cost of one years work is
almost entirely wasted The measure is retro
gressive rather than progressive. and does not
meet with the approval of the officers.

indianapolis Shippers To BE Protected.

Commissioner Doherty yesterday called the
local freight agents together at the pool Office to
talk over the situation. There was ample evil
dence produced to convince the commissioner
and the agents that east-bound rates were
off 3 to 5 cents per 100 pounds at Peoria.
St Louis and Chicago. After a brief con-
ference. 1t was voted that any line, which chose
so to do, could meet the break at other points
making rate A cents per 100 pounds fat below
the said to-be restored rates of last week The
agents were reluctant to take such step, but
show determination to protect Indianapolis

Good Time Coming for Car Works.
That of good times will come to the car
works of the country, whenever the roads get
through quarreling and maintain rates which
will yield some revenue above actual operating
expenses, is becoming quite apparent rail
road official, well posted as regards the freight
equipment of the roads of the country, says that
at least so per cent of the box cars are so near
worn out to be really unfit for service Pos
siby, he says, 20 per cent of the trucks OF these
cars will do to use under new car bodies With
the heavy locomotives now hauling freight
trains. partially used-up car, or one
with weak timbers. or old trucks is unsafe to
to run The official expressed the opinion that
within three years 25 per cent of the freight
equipments would need renewal, and within iive
years another 20 per cent. even with the ordi
nary wear and tear of rolling stock This being
the case, he thinks better times are ahead for
the car works of the country.

further changes were in contemplation on the

Too Many Old Contracts In the Way.
Railroad men who began to have confidence
that better state of affairs was to be brought
about through the recent conference of railroad
magnates ara considerably discouraged over the
situation, and they still uneasy over the rate
question in spite of the favorable views ex-
pressed by the leading managers as to speedy
adjustment of the recent disputes. Advices
from Chicago yesterday reported fresh cutting
in east-bound freights. In regard to westbound
freight rates, no action has yet been determined
upon. 1t had been reported, with confidence"
that they would be advanced Sept l, but so
far no steps have been taken in that direction at
any regular meeting. 1t is hard to see how
these rates can be advanced to any important
extent until the close of the year, as numerous
contracts have been made at the low rates in the
height of the war which will not expire till Jan.
l. 1886.
Nevertheless it is said by some well-informed
railroad men that it is probable that higher
west bound tariff will be promulgated ere long.

A Moonlit w ak.

Beneath the winter sky walk with NAV,
Within the mighty circle of the hills,
Whose purple splendors drapc departing day;
While peace and patience the pure air distil.
How beautiful is Earth all ROBBED in whitei
How sweetly solemn is the rivers paslmi
Not even mornings gracious, holy light
Hath in it such finished, perfect calm
Far in the North the golden, fu.orbed moon
Mounts, joyfully, the sacred heights of Heaven.
About her falls mistry veil, that soon
By the full glory of her smile is rvcn
Glad moon she sees along the CRIMSON West
The banner OF her royal lover stream;
And him she sees, just sinking to his rest,
Where all the glories of the sunset beam
But following on, in all her queenly grace
Rejecting, generously, the light he gives,
She hastes, still gazing on his ardent lace
By whose great light and warmth alone she lives.
Glad moon SO iaIr, SO beautiful, so bright,
Beholding him, how large she grows how free
How full Of powerl She hath abolished night
And shares her joy with lovely May and me.
