Lack Of Interest May Defeat the New Depot
Scheme.


Business men of indianapolis are not showing
the interest in the steps being taken to insure
needed legislation looking the erection of new
union depot at this point which they should To
hear some men talk, one would think that the Un-
ion Railway Company ought to pay money into the
city treasury and to property holders here for
the privilege of spending over million dollars
in improvements at this point The fact is that
the Union Railway Company propose to expend,
in the erection of buildings and in the compile
ton CT system of tracks and other necessary
improvements, 81 200 900, and so per cent. of
that amount will be paid out for labor, which is
certainly very important item in these times.
when there are so many idle men. The Union
Railway Company are now in earnest in the
matter. They feel that it is a very opportune
time to proceed with the work. Money can
readily be raised, material is cheap, and labor
plenty at fair wages Probably not in ten years
to come will there be more favorable time to
carry out the enterprise. The superior officers
of every road in the Union Railway Company,
for the first time, all have their hearts in the
been taken thus far. The only thing that can
defeat the enterprise will be unfrendly legsla-
tion AS the matter now stands the company
could not dispose of their bonds could not
yacate o street or take any advance
step, as such action might be judged
Illegal What is needed is prompt friendly legis-
lation. The Union Railway Company ask no
special favors, propose to pay reasonable price
for any piece of property they may need to furnish
ample ground for tho proposed improvements,
and, in thirty days from the time needed legs-
lation is enacted steps will be taken which will
show that indianapolis is to have union depot
which will be credit to the city and the State.

had been formed against the Democrats,
was true to her Democratic colors, ana
the regulars won decisive battle IN
Baltimore.
In Massachusetts the Democracy
made the splendid gain of twenty-five
members of the Legislature.
In stanch Connecticut the Democrats
gained sixteen legislators.
In the Banner Republican State OF
Iowa, where the Republicans used TO
roll up maiorities counting up to and
over $4,000, the Democracy dragged
them down to beggarly plurality OF
$500.
Not in New York alone but almost
all over the Union the Democratic
party nobly sustained the great victory
which revolutionized the Government
last year. Everywhere except in Ono
Republicanism was weakened and
stretched upon the field.
This is retributive justice! For
twenty-four years the Republicans have
tried to persuade the country that
Democratic rule meant ignorance, big
| otry, incapacity, dislOyalty and de-
struction to business. The Demo
cratic Administration of the Restora-
ton has proved to the country that
Democratic rule means honest and et-
ficient government, the obliteratlon OF
sectional issues. the protection OF labor,
LOYALTY to the Constitution and the
general elevation of the standard OF
public honor and public morality.
The Democratic Administration
Notwithstanding the mistakes OF Mug
wunpism, has accomplished the gfeat
good of exposing the Republican lies
which have so long imposed upon the
country and caused sincere but simple
men to dread Democratic success.
The Republicans have lost their
ability to scare the people about a
Democratic Administration. Without
a scare and fraud aud deception the
Republican party has no issue OH which
to stand ;.efOre the people. 1t is re-
buked for its fai@ehood. Democracy
has come to stay.

Come to Stay.

The Democratic victory in New
York was so great as to drive other
States out of peoples thoughts. But
there was fighting all along the line.
And nearly everywhere Democratic
triumphs and gains give evidence that
the Democracy has come to stay.
New York, the pivotal State, rolled
I'D her Democratic majority against
special disadvantages and against a
united Republican party consolidated
in favor of a remarkably strong ticket,
the strongest it has put up tawany
wears, and probably the strongest it
could have put up.

alcne the opposition had prospect of

The other day ex-United States Sena-
tor Blanche X. Bruce delivered an adj
dress at the state fair of the cOlored
people of Mississippi. In this speech
the colored orator referred with pride
to the evidences of the progress OF his
race in Mississippi, in the profusion
and wealth of the agricultural and in
dustrial products then on exhibition.
He spoke in eloquent terms of the cor
dial relations that exist between the
whites and the blacks of his state.
Throughout his reported address he
never uttered one word of complaint
concerning the alleged denial of a free
ballot and a fair count to the cOlOred
voters of Mississippi. Were there a
modicum of truth in the assertions OF
northern partisans in regard to the
condition of the south ex-senator Bruce
had a rare opportunity of confirming it.
But as an honest and truthful represen-
tative of his race he could not afford to
lend his authority to sectional miSrep-
resentation. Is not this sufficient to
show that Bro. McDivItt had consider
able bile upon his stomach when he
dished up that 'blOody-Shirt'' editorial
in last weeks CbrOaicle.

We think it would be wise thing
for our City Council to pass an Ordin-
ance increasing the license of those mi
gratory dealers in various articles, who
infest our city and the various towns
of the State. Generally their wares are
Of an inferior and shOddy make, and
\ they not only injure the business of our
merchants but beat their customers, by
selling them worthless goods. 1t is not
treating our home merchants fair. If
q church is to be built in our city or
county, or one of our citizens through
misfortunes become helpless, if the fire
companies need assistance, if money is
to be raised for the benefit of any be-
nevolent institution, or Sunday Schools,
church fairs, &C., who are the first men
asked to subscribe? Always our bust
ness men-they give thousands of dol
lars annually for such purposes. They
are building our fine business blocks
and constantly making improvements
in our city that we are all proud Of
Not so with these migratory dealers
they never leave dollar in our city for
improvements or benevolent purposes.
Thus, it is no more than right and just
that our City Fathers should pass an
ordinance making the license so high
that our town will not be infested by
unknown parties, who pocket the peo-
pies money and are here to-day and
gone tomorrow. Our merchants who
are engaged in legitimate business
should be protected; indeed, they have
a right to demand it.

An important decision affecting the
new prohibitory law has been rendered
by Judge CROzIER, Of LeavenWorth.
A man by the name Of BELLER was
committed to jail for contempt by the
County Attorney, because he would not
answer the question as to whether a
certain drug firm had been selling liquor
contrary to the statute. BELLER re-
fused to answer on the ground that it
would tend to eliminate himself. lie
was thereupon committed for contempt.
A writ of hGbeaS corpus was taken out
and Saturday afternoon the case was
argued before Judge CROzIER. The
Judge decided that the section OF the
statute giving the County Attorney
power to exercise judicial functions III
such a case was unconstitutional, and
that commitment is not due process
of law. If this decision holds good II
will invalidate the most important parl
of the new prohibitory law. 1t will be
no longer possible to make man tel
where he bought his liquor, and a greai
restraint will thereby be removed iron
the druggist.
