The Usual Result will Follow.

General Spencer. ex-treasurer of the New
York. Lake Erie & Western railroad, and his
colleagues, who have been projecting new rail
road into Passaic City. n j., in opposition to
the Erie in which they have been hindered by
injunctions obtained by the latter, have bought
the Vreeland farm, about IA acres, in Passac.
which enables them to build their own spur with
out delay, and hinder the Erie people Indefinite
iy" From the above item, clipped from Bos
ton paper. it would seem that there are get CAPT
talists anxious to sink money in paralleling
railroads which now have rough time to pay even
operating expenses. Three years ago there were
no more solid railway companies in the United
States than the Pennsylvania and the New York
Central. Their stocks were at premium; their
bonds were boarded. Executors, trustees, wild
ows and orphans invested money in
both. They paid dividends and interest
as regularly as United States bonds But
ono day shrewd spectators concluded
to backmai! these prosperous corporations by
building competing lines. The Southern Penn
syivania was built to parallel the Pennsylvania.
the West Shore to parallel the New ork Cen
trail The usual result followed. War broke
out; the Pennsylvania carried passengers at one
tenth of cent mile; the New York Central
carried freight for one-fifth of cent per ton per
mile AT last the inevitable end came; the Penn
sylvania was compelled TO buy out the Southern
Pennsylvania. the New York Central was driven
tc buy out the West Shore. Now both corpora
lions are obliged to keep up two lines of road to
serve traffic for which one line was amply suf-
ficient The result is that dividends will have to
be reduced. and the means Of the companies TO
renew their equipment when it wears out and to
increase their accommodations for the public will
be impaired. In word, the best railway prop
critics in the country must hereafter be cassed
among the 'fances." What has happened the
New York Central and the Pennsylvania will
happen to every prosperous road in the country,
unless this paralleling of railways is checked.

SPIRIT OF THE STATE PRESS
1t Required Nerve.

Kokomo Gazette-Tribune.
In city of over three hundred saloons, with
the liquor element thoroughly organized and
backed by great political party, it requires
Nerve with big N to take the position the
Republican party has taken. 1t should give
courage to the weak kneed in the out counties
especially in counties like Howard, with SO
pronounced temperance sentiment-to
squarely resist the encroachments of the liquor
power. The saloon element must not be allowed
to get the upper hand in politics. 1t must be
throttled 1t should be a matter of immense
satisfaction to all lovers of the enforcement of
the law, that great political party has displayed
the backbone that the Republican party has at
Indianapolis. and that it should meet the issue
squarely in the stronghold of the traffic.

was about to start from the yards. this evening,
to pull up to the Union Depot an at

Bummers and Chronic Law Breakers.

Shelbyville Republican.
a party can afford to be defeated in the right
but can never afford to be successful in the
wrong. Better thousand times to go down
fighting for principle than succeed in cause that
is at war with good morals and good government.
The issue is now clearly made. and if majority
of the people at Indianapolis decide that they
wish to be governed by the bummers and chronic
law breakers let them take the consequences of
their blind devotion to corrupt party. At
least the Republicans will emerge from the con-
test with clean hands and with no responsibility
for the consequences which are sure to follow
the domination of the detnireps

Liberty Deposed.
Madison Courier.

The Goddess of Liberty being an offensive
partisan, has been removed from her place in
the upper right hand corner OF the postal cards
of the new Democratic administration, and
Thomas Jefferson has succeeded to her position.
Jefferson was the founder of the States rights
heresy. and the Goddess of Liberty is thus pro-
nounced to be purely Republican deity. Things
are moving

The Indignant MIR. Hendricks.
Illinois State Journal

How indignant Mr.. Vice-president Hendricks
is over the action of the chairman of the Repub-
can State central committee of Pennsylvania,
sending circulars to employees in the departments
at Washington calling for contributions to the
Republican campaign fund in that State. may be
judged by his own act on in levying contribu-
tions upon the employees in his own bureau, while

Buchanan, nearly thirty years ago.

The Republicans of Indianapolis, on Saturday,
placed in nomination for the mayoralty Caleb S.
Denny, present city attorney, and young man
Of integrity, free from any utilization with rings
or factions, and pledged to the administration of
the city's affairs in an economical and lawful
manner. This is in strong contrast with the
hummer element that controlled the Demo-

The Indianapolis Journal publishes Wash

NichoL. Joseph is not unknown to fame in
Fountain county. During the war he was a
resident of Covington, and editor of the Peoples
Friend, at that time as raDd a rebel sheet as the
Colonel's intellect could make it. He raised a
regiment to serve in Brigadier-general Voorhees,
brigade, which was in Major-general Hendrickss
corps. These three fought through the war side
by side, and are now enjoying the fruits of hard
earned victory.

A Mistaken Policy.
MunCie News.

If the Indianapolis Times thinks it can gain
popularity by rejecting upon Mr.. Blaine's poit-
ical honesty and sagacity, it is badly mistaken.
The Times cannot convince any one that it is
smarter than Mr.. Blaine, and the Republicans
are hundred to one who would accept the lead
ershp of Mr.. Blaine in preference to that of the
Times We fear the Times has cast anything
but bread upon the waters.

viucennes News (Dem).

The nomination of hummer Tom Cottrell for
mayor of Indianapolis Is not merely disgrace
to the Democrats Of that simcoyed city; it is an
insult to the Democracy of the State, and as
such it should be resented with all the fire of
righteous INDIGNATION. The moral support of all
good Democrats outside of indianapolis should
be thrown to any decent, law abiding man who
may be put up against him.

the foreclosure proceedings were now so well ad-
vanced that but little more remained to be dope
before decree and sale of the property could be
obtained. The gauge would be widened and a
hieh-class railroad, newly equipped and laid with
sixty-seven-pound steel rails, will be placed in
operation between ST. Louis and Toledo before
the end of 1886.
