understands the situation.

The Journal yesterday received from high
official, who prefers that his name should not be
made public, a communication in which he pro
tests against the stand the commissioners OF
the pools have taken relative to furnishing in
formation to the newspaper reporters. The
writer expresses himself as follows: II have
very emphatic regrets over the course east
bound pool matters have recently taken. strongly
depreciating the existing feeling in late pub
lications as tending to lower the dignity and
efficiency of the system. In my view, the
trouble grew almost entirely from the action OF
the committee in refusing to give information to
the papers. 1t is too late in the day to hight the
enterprising reporter, any man at all up to
the times should know" He didn't know at
whose suggestion this course was adopted
the joint agents, or of some member of the COM
mittee-but it was backward step, and the ex.
treme of folly. The proceedings of railroad
meetings are of interest to the public and many
railroad men looked to find them in the papers.
The true method was to furnish report of such
proceedings-f there was anything not desirable
to publish, the newspapers, if they felt them
selves fairly treated, would not refuse to comply
with request to keep silent. AS it is, people
regard the newspaper accounts as IN a measure
official, and the effect was bad in the extreme.
From his acquaintance with officials of the c.,
FL. & D. road he believed the tendency would be
to strain their relationship to the pool. They
felt Disseminated against in the per cent al
lowed them, to start with; they chafed under
the fact that charges against them were bruited
through the country before they were called in
to report them. And now to have the report
spread broadcast that the joint agent of the COM
mite which passed on and accepted their explain
alton is declaiming against the committees ac-
tion calculated to stir their indignation and to
give them no friendlier feeling for the pool. to
say the least Speaking for his own road, they
wouldn't stand such nonsense-the pool might go
to the dogs first.

English Roads Suffering in Their Volume of
Traffic
The roads on the other side of the water as
well as in America, are experiencing depressed
times and light volume of traffic. Gross re-
ceipts of twelve of the principal English rail-
roads. whose half-year ends on Dec. 81, exclud-
ing both the Irish and, Scotch companies,
amounted to G23 454. 29l, being decrease of
f422, 446. or about Il per cent as compared with
the corresponding half of 1888 About one half
of this decrease falls upon the revenue of the
Northeastern road, which forms network in
the principal coal and iron districts in the north
of England. and therefore suffers from the ex-
ceptional depression in those industries. The
decrease in the gross receipts of the other eleven
lines amounted to per cent.

THEJOURNAL-1S85

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL Is recog-
nized everywhere as the leading newspaper Of
Indiana No proper expense will be spared in
the future TO maintain this undisputed excel
lence and to increase the value and interest OF
the paper. THE JOURNAL was never SO we'll
equipped to serve the public. Our arrangements
for the collection of the news Of the day are
moro complete than ever, and we ara adding
some special features for 1885 which must en-
nance the popularity of the paper.
THE JOURNAL is the only paper in Indiana
that prints regularly the full reports Of tina
Western Associated Press, which are now
more comprehensive than ever, covering the
whole world. These dispatches are supple
mented by the work of special correspondents
at all the principal cities and towns Of the
State and of the country at large We have a
special resident representative at Washington
City, who looks after the news of the national
capital with vigilance, paying particular atten-
ton to that which most nearly concerns THE
JOURNALS constituency. The national admin
istration will soon pass into the control of the
Democratic party, and the fullest and most re
liable intelligence from Washington will be
presented in our news columns, free from party
bias impartially, and without restraint.
The new State administration takes charge OF
affairs with the beginning of the new year The
Democratic Legislature will be in session The
Journal will pay unusual attention to the daily
presentation of such report of its doings that
any citizen of the State may know all that is go
ing on affecting the public interests, accompa-
MED with such comment as may be needed to ex-
plain the possible political, social and economic
effects of the proposed legislation.
Editorially THE JOURNAL is Republican
paper believing in the principles and general
policy of the Republican party; but it recognizes
that the day of blind party organshiphas passed.
and it proposes to be perfectly free to criticise
and condemn, but in a spirit and with pur-
pose for good, having proper regard
for personal rights and regulations
The Citizen whatever his political faith, can be
assured of seeing in the columns of TIE
JOURNAL the fullest and fairest presentation
of the news, and in its editorial columns such
comment and structures as will command his re-
spect if they do not meet his approval 1t may
also be said that THE JOURNAL is published
as FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 1t recognizes
that the women and the children are to be in
structed and entertained. They will always find
in it's columns matter specially prepared for
them. while the paper will be so conducted as to
prove welcome visitor in the household. The
news will be presented in such shape as TO min
imize the evil and its editorial and local columns
will be kept free from moral faint
The Railroad News of THE JOURNAL is ad-
mittedly the freshest, fullest and most accurate
printed by any newspaper in the country.

HSufnlner Here

When the mower cuts the clover and the swallow
SKINS the corn,
And you hear the herdboy calling cross the meadows
in the morn,
And the dawn is rich with robins piping in the pop
lar trees,
And across the bending buckwheat gads the yellow
buskined bees,
And the quail calls up his covey by the music of his
In the plated old fence corner with it's Indian pinks
0, summertime is here.
When the wheat on morn-fushed uplands stands
bowed in matin prayer,
And the sinful scarlet peoples wanton it'll the wind
right there,
And beneath the tree the babe, whose brown mother
binds the sheaves.
Braids dimped handsful of the sunbeams wading
down the lanes OF leaves
And the young wife lures the husband to the ample
leafy shade,
Where their boy filings back their laughter from his
emerald ambuscade-
0, summer time is here.
When bobolink falls from treetop, tripped and
tangled in his song
And the catbird buttonholes you for dialogue,
And the spec ked hawk loafs lonely on the dappled
distant sky,
And the affabe white sheep Craze about you as you
lie
Looking down cool terminal colonnades where bits of
blue are seen
Through the sinuous antique arras Of the breeze
blown muscadine-
o. summer is time is here!
When the sultry landscape swoons and the huddled
hills all ache
And the pheasant drums her clan to the quagpool in
the brake
And, tree-hid, you lean and look where wanls of
honeysuckles sway
Their lamps in arcades dim, dreaming back long
gone day,
And you drift with sumberous lids, by arrant indo
lence o'erborne
o. summer time is here
Far and faint you hear the tnkle Of the bland bells Of
the kine
And your heart spills out in bitterness as Bacchanas
spill wine;
Soft peace down, balm-breasted, the weary
heart and brain,
