Hints for the Library.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
In many instances it. is forgotten that time
flies, and that buildings should be raised as mon
-uments. 1t has not been long since the last opn-
ion was expressed as to where and what should
be the library The talk was as long if not longer
than that Of the City Hall and depot. At last
there was sigh Of relief as we'll as Of disappoint
ment when the present building was completed
A library, of all buildings, should be a perma-
nent structure The building, from the out
side, looks somewhat but the interior is not sufi-
cient for the demand. Perhaps, by remov-
ing the Offices it would answer at
present. Especially is this true Of the
reading room. The school children, of whom
there are so many, fill it without the general
public. The room is full of tables and CHAIRS
and the latter are often all occupied Tn its fur
nishing it is most primitive. Many suggestions
could be made, but only the most important will
be mentioned In the first place, there should be
cuspidors. Some says: s'Iu Naples. treat
the people brutaliy; in Rome, be natural; in Aus
tria, talk politics; in France, give yourself
no airs; in Germany, assume great many; and
in England, don't spit" AS many of us are so
English, suppose there is nothing to fear from
that quarter But the News having so
ably defended splitting there should
be cuspidors. and plenty of them
for the necessity 1t is not pleasant to hear the
spat nor besconscious, after while, of a foot
gliding stealthily or otherwise back and forth.
Or like the poor man off in the corner, feeling
out of place and looking strange and forlorn in
his rough boots with pants stuck in, faded coat
and unkept hair, but still having regard for the
seusibilities of others, when the dreadful time
would come, raised the window and LEANED far
outson the window sill. Then there should be

strip from the door to the desk showing the good

others was brought into action it would not be
so bad Some, however, are taken unawares,

Traffic Moving In Its Usual Channels.

Delayed freights on the Missouri Pacific and
Wabash lines are now being moved as rapidly as
their power at command can haul It. Thus the
great railroad strike ir the Southwest has ended,
contrary to general predictions in the complete
success Of the strikers, and the interrupted
freight traffic has been resumed. On the part
of tho railroad managers it was agreed that
wages should be restored to the rates existing
last September including one and onehaIf price
for extra time employed; that no employee shall

that hereafter notice of thirty days shall be
given of any proposed change in rates of wages.
This covers all that the strikers demanded
when they went out, and more. Some among
them, taught by bitter experience. insisted upon
a written contract with the railroad authorities,
stipulating, among other things that none of
them shall be dismissed within one year. But
such condition could not be accepted by the
railroads, as it would have been demoralizing to
the service in affording protection to worthless
and misunderstanding employees. 1t was there
fore wisely abandoned.
The back down of the Missouri Pacific and
Wabash arrangements should teach them as well
as other corporations to be careful of their
grounds for reducing wages and more consid-
crate of the welfare of their men.

Troubles of the Passenger Men.

The passenger men located at this point hold
another special meeting this afternoon in room
80 Bates House, for the purpose of bracing up
some of the roads which have weakened little
on rates, agents of which are too friendly with
ticketscalpeys. Wait, boys, until John Lazarus
gets here; he doubtless will help you out
There is quite racket in the circles of the
passenger agents. 1t Is alleged by the c.,
St l.. s. P. and Beelne people that the
l., B. g. w. sent an agent to Winchester on the
Bee-lne, and gave a party of ten an $18 round
trip rate to Harpers on the Southern Kansas
road. If it be true, the l., B w. people will re-
alize small amount of money out of these pas
sengers after paying the Grand Rapids g. Ind-
ana for carrying them from Winchester to New
Castle, then paying the arbitrary rates west of
the Missouri river. The tariff rate is $3S for
the round trip. There is little use of forming
an association at indianapolis to maintain rates
and fight scalpers if such work goes on outside.

Logeing Railroads.

Hard winters with plenty of snow on which to
sled logs, lumbermen say, are nolonger desirable
in northern Michigan pineries- Logging rail
roads can be operated cheaper and the logs
handled at smaller cost than when SHOWS are
deep and sleds are used. The following is said
to be the average cost of alogging road per mile,
tracks laid with thirty five pound steel rails:
SO tons Of rails at $50. .-.....-...---$1, $50 90

Grading and track laying ...-..-..... 100000
Totai-.- ---------.-----.----S 20 oSooz
Each one dollar variation in price of rails
changes cost per mile fftyfiv dollars This is
evidently low estimate, but it is probable that
$500 to s., 600 per mile will build such road
using thirty fye-pound steel rails which would
be heavy enough. The standard width of mar
row-ga1ige road is thirty-six inches The loco
motives cost So 500 to S. 600 each. Logging cars
cost $3.50 to $l75 each.

Can Good Rail be Made at that Price?
The Wabash Railroad Company has purchased
several thousand tons of rails it is stated at
SIG SO per ton, and number Of rolling-mills, it
is said, are ready to contract at that figure.
There is great danger that the roads will "Jew'
the mills down to so low prices for rails that an
inferior quality of rail will be turned out This
would be serious matter. There are to day. in
the track of the Wabash main line, sixty miles
of steel rails which are not SO good, railroad
experts say, as poor quality iron rail. They
are constantly crumbling to pieces or breaking.
and have given the section men more
trouble than has been experienced on
all other parts of the system combined 1t is
said that at certain seasons of the year seldom
a train moves over this sixty miles of track that
the section men do rot after its passage, find
one more broken rails On any road where
there is an inferior steel rail the wrecks which
will result therefrom in a year or two, to say
nothing OF the great danger to life and limb of
people who ride over the road, will pay for a
frst-elass rail- The Wabash is not an exception
in This matter. There are two other Indianapo-
lis roads which have had much trouble from
rails of the same make, and the question arises
whether it is not best topay prices for rails which
will justify the manufacturer in furnishing the
best quality of rails
