IN THE INTEREST OF HARMONY.

Mr.. James Buford was nominated BY
accamation by the late Republican con-
vention for the Office Of township trustee
He withdraws from the ticket in Difference
to the wishes of the country people in their
demand for two representatives from the
outside" on the township board, but not
on account OF any objection to Mr.. Butord
The motives that actuate him in this with
drawal are commendable in very high and
honorable sense. 1t is an evidence that
the convention did not err in the man il it
did miss it little in geography. The geo.
graphical lines must, it seems be harmon
lied, and the line is drawn at Mr. Buford
by himself, and he bows himself out
in manner that does himself
credit 1t is matter Of regret, no
doubt, that the convention should have
missed this one point in the harmony of
that occasion. 1t seems to have been har-
monious until this snag was struck, so to
speak The country people kick vigorously
when they do kick, and they do so endan-
ger the highly ornamental dashboard of
our political vehicle that it seems to be
proper for the breeching to be loosened
little, and the oats bin be visited for a
new feed, also to change horses before the
stream is reached. Mr.. Buford's bran-new

In the days of slavery the slave-owners
said that the only safe and harmonious re-

the capitalist owned the laborer. No one
but a slave-owner could say that, and this
country has advanced far beyond such bar
barism. The conflict between labor and
capital as exhibited in this State is one of

An examination of the train records for the
week ending Jan. 3, and a comparison with the
Dar movement of the week ending Dec. 81
shows that last week there was an increase in
total number of cars received and forwarded of
241 cars, while there was falling off of 4s8 in

the Pennsylvania lines. Over the c., H & /.
and l., B. g W., and more especially the c., L.
st. l.. & G., an increased number Of cars was
handled. In east bound traffic slight improve
ment is shown on seaboard business, while local
traffic fell of. AS the improvement in east-bound
tonnage came in the latter part of the week,
better business is expected the coming week.
For some unexplained reason Indianapolis
roads are this year carrying much less interior
business than usual, which indicates that interior

have been 500, 900, and they have been expended
in improving the property. The length of the
present road from Louisville to Mt Vernon is
1877 miles, of which 1S2 miles belong to the COM
pany. From Mt. Vernon to ST. Louis an ex-
tension of 78 miles would make 9. shorter line by
5S miles than the present Ohio and Mississippi
route from st. Louis to Louisville. From Mt
Vernon, northwest to Centralia and southwest
to Tamaroa, two branches, each % miles long,
would give connection via the Illinois Central
to all DO nts North aud South. A further ex-
tension could be built from Louisville to Cincin-
natl along the north shore of the Ohio river,
passing through Switzerland and Jefferson
counties, which would be but ITO miles in
length. This would be the exact mileage of the
Short-line and Is miles shorter than the present
route via the Ohio and Mississippi. We under
stand that 500 900 would be given by the people
along this latter route to procure such road.

Rate Matters.

The excitement stirred up of late in Illinois
regarding railroad rates continues. Representa-
tves of the farmers still declare that if the rail
roads do not act reasonably they will compel them
to. They say that the roads in the East are
carrying passengers and freight for much less
than the Illinois roads. On the other hand, the
railroad people testified that two cents mile in
the East was as much as six cents would be in
Illinois. Here is an Illustration of the great in
justice of specific legislation for the entire
try in regard to rates. The fact is, there was
never a time in the history of this country when
railway transportation rates so low, nor
when competition was fercer. Never before
have railway companies tried so hard to become
popular in order to secure more business To
this end they have made liberal concessions, and
every day are spending money freely and grant
ing all possible facilities and accommodations to
shippers.

The Marvellous Adventure of a Whaling Crew
Up Where the Icebergs Stand.
San Francisco Chronicle.
The whaling bark Alaska. which arrived in
this port a few days ago from the Arctic ocean,
brings strange story of the narrow escape from
death of six of her crew. The first officer.
George Johnson stated the circumstances to a
Chronicle reporter yesterday, as follows On
the 10th of last October, when the vessel was
forty-six miles south of Alaska, an object was
perceived in the distance whose proportions ard
shape indicated it to be monster sea lion A
boat was Immediately lowered and placed in
charge of First Officer johnson and five of the
crew, named Andrew Nelson, William Wilson,
Antoine Niaga, George Marshfeld and Hans
Stuten. AS the distance was being decreased
between the boat and the huge animal they be-
came convinced that it was the famed sea
serpent When they came within few hundred
yards the monster made dash for the boat
striking out its immense tail against the craft.
Several of the occupants were precipitated into
the water but were rescued with difficulty. A
harpoon and lance were fred into the body of the
beast and it disappeared beneath the surface
Half an hour latersit reappeared, floating on

capture was seen to be villainous- looking thing
It's head closely resembled that of an alligator
while the body resembled that of a lizard It
measured thIrty-three feet in length, the tail
alone being nine feet long. The tail was cut off
and stuffed and brought to this city and is now
on exhibition in a water front saloon.

dividends on railroad stocks at Boston and New

Regular trains on the California Southern
railroad commenced running again Jan. / be-

sent to the heavy scaling of interest and the ex-
tension of the principal asked for by the compa-
ny, and will take the equipment instead, unless
better terms are offered.

two fast freight trains that will make the run
from Sandusky to Bloomington in twenty
hours. These will be the fastest trains in this
part of the country. The management Of late
has become quite aggressive
The Pensacola 6 Atlanta, 161 miles in length,
extending east from Pensacola to the Chatta-
hoochee river. and which, though controlled by
the Louisville e. Nashville has been heretofore
operated separately Jan. / became part of the
Louisville Il Nashville system
The Kentucky Central and East Tennessee,
Georgia & Virginia managements have got into
a sauabble and the line of sleeping coaches be-
tween Cincinnati and Knoxville by that route
has been thrown off, the E.. T.. & V. people
refusing to haul it. The same line of coaches
has now been put on the run out of Cincinnati
over the Cincinnati Southern road.
The system of fagmen service, which has
been in operation on the passenger trains of the
Chicago q Alton for the past three months has
proved eminently satisfactory to the patrons of
that company and to the company also. Upon
the rear of each night train is carried com
petent flagman whose duty requires him to pro-
tect the rear Of the train from collision. He
carries torpedoes and a red danger lantern AS
warning to approaching trains; and should stop
be necessary, starts Immediately back far enough
to warn any train that may follow. This sys.
tenn is worthy of adoption by other roads.
