A Big Problem to Solve.

The Railroad Commissioner Of Minnesota, who
anay be supposed to be an impartial arbiter be-
8ween the farmers and the railroads, talks vigor-
@usly in his annual report about the dispropor-
ton between the value of wheat and the tax i'm
posed on it by the transportation companies. A
correspondent of the Railway Age, to Offset this,
says: 1.-THE writer remembers when a load of
Nheat was hauled from a point in Illinois fifty
six miles to Chicago and sold for forty-six cents
a bushel, and the farmer had to take his pay in
trade at retail prices. The round trip occupied
four days. OF course, it was a very unpleasant
time in the life OF a pioneer Western farmer-he
returned from his trip with a sad face and a
heavy heart The saddest part of the business
was that he could not denounce the railways as
gausing the trouble by their 'extortions.'" The
fact is that this rate question is a big problem to
solve. Perhaps one of the most important feat
ures of the situation is the existing condition of
the railroads, which are not only the great trans
portation agencies Of the country, but the repre-
sentatives of large vested interests: Earnings
hp<e fallen off to such an extent that dividends
have had to be either cut down or passed, the
most rigid economies in management have been
introduced, competition in every direction has
been of the keenest kind, and it is evident that
the earning capacity of the properties has been
tstea too high and that values will have to be
st. aled down in some way to meet the changed
condition of surrounding circumstances.

A Blow at the t., c. s. st. L.

TOLEDO. O., Jan. 6.-In the recent order from
the United States Court forbidding the Michigan
Central railroad to discriminate against the To
ledo, Cincinnati g. st. Louis Narrow-gauge, In
refusing to receive freight from that line at this
point, notice was to-day served upon the mar
row-gauge by the Michigan Central to the effect
that the latter would not, after midnight to-mor-
row, receive any freight from either the Wa
bash, ST Louis & Pacific or the To
ledo, Cincinnati & st. Louis, or from
any road that drained the same territory as the
latter. The result of this order will doubtless
be that the Wabash will send their through
freight via the Butler branch to Detroit, where
the Michigan Central will receive it. The mar
row gauge has refused to receive any more
through freight at st. Louis, and is making an
effort to have all trains now on the track be-
tween here and that point arrive here in time to
make transfer to the Michigan Central before
the order goes into effect tomorrow night

if the exposition management would apply to

A Pennsylvania Line Asks for an Increase
in Pool Per Cents.

The Chicago, St. Louis & Pittsburg road,
which is a member of the Chicago and Ohio
River pool, is the party which has asked for an
adjustment of per cents. Both in November and
December. the two months that the reorganized
pool has been in operation, the G. st. L. & P. has
run handsomely ahead of its per cents, more
especially in the Chicago and Louisville pool.
No trouble is anticipated from their request, as
the L., N. A. 81 G. will doubtless shows willing
ness to do what is right in the matter. In the
Chicago and Indianapolis pool the O.. l., St L. q
C. has fallen slightly behind in its
per cents. In the Indianapolis and Cincinnati
pool the c., /. ST. L. & c. has run ahead in it's
per cents, and for November business will need
pay over to the c., H.. & d. some $1,000. Mat
tiers with the pool are running very smoothly.
The proper officials of each road which is ahead
in it's per cents. express a willingness to pay over
balances as soon as Commissioner Richardson
will state the amount due the roads which are
short in their per cents.

THE JOURNALISTS

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 undispused excel
lence and TO increase the value and interest Of
the paper. THE JOURNAL was never SO well
equipped to serve the public. Our arrangements
for the collection of the news of the day are
more complete than ever, and we are adding
some special features for 1885 which must en-
nance the popularity of the paper.
THE JOURNAL is the only paper in Indians
that prints regularly the full reports Of. tina
Western Associated Press, which ara noN
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 tina
State and of the country at large. We have q
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 TIKI
JOURNALS constituency. The rational 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 81
affairs with the beginning of the new year. This
Democratic Legislature will be in session. This
Journal will pay unusual attention to the daily
presentation of such a report of it's doings THAI
any citizen of the State may know all that is so.
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 a Republican
paper, believing in the principles and general
policy of the Republican party; but it recognizes
that the day of blind party organshipha passed.
and it proposes to be perfectly free to ~criticise
and condemn, but in a spirit and with q pur-
pose for good, having a proper regard
for personal rights and regulations.
The citizen, whatever his political faith, can be
assured of seeing in the columns of THE
JOURNAL the fullest and fairest presentation
Of the news, and in it's editorial columns such
comment and structures as will command his re-
spect if they do not meet his approval. 1t mag
also be said that THE JOURNAL is published
as a 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 80 conducted as to
prove a welcome visitor in the household. The
news will be presented in such shape as TO min
imize the evil, and it's editorial and local columns
will be kept free from moral faint

Courts Not Instituted to Operate Railways.
TIL legal proceeding commenced last week
looking to a foreclosure sale of the Philadelphia
& Reading railroad, seems to have been begun
in a proper manner Judge Butler, in granting
leave to file the bill, said that the affairs of the
Reading Railroad Company were becoming
seriously involved in court that it was not the
intention of the court to keep its hands on the
property of this company indefinitely, and there
by hold the creditors at bay, and that 1t would
be a great mistake not to press the matter to a
speedy conclusion. This plain language on the
part Of Judge Butler gives reason to believe that
something tangible in the interest of the general
public is likely soon to be reached in settling the
affairs of the Reading. Any settlement will be
an apparent hardship to many who now hold the
alleged securities of the company; but, since
there is no possibility of these securities ever
again being of other than a fictitious value, the
sooner they are closed out the better for all con
cerned. With the Reading Railroad Company
freed from the entanglements which Inismanage-
ment has gathered about it. and engaged in its
legitimate business as a common carrier, it will
become one of the most valuable railroad prop
critics in this country.

The G.. III. & ID. Strikes an ugly snag.

The c., III. e. ID. Strikes an Ugly Snag.
Easy going NJ. Doherty, commissioner of the
Indianapolis east-bound pool, has brought the
c., III. & ID. people up with a short turn, and
placed them in a position where they must pay
$50, 900 penalty, providing the rules of the trunk
line pool. of which the c.. II. g. D. is a member,
are enforced to the letter, and some agents
head, as well, will drop into the basket. Com
missioner Doherty has proof that for some time
past the c., Fl. 81 D. people have been taking
freights from points on the Vandalia and the l..
3. 81 w. road, billing such property through to
Tom, Dick and Harry at Hamilton, o., as local
business, thus evading the Indianapolis pool and
the Chicago and Ohio River pool as well. On
reaching Hamilton, which is not a pool point, 1t
is shown that the same property is rebilled in the
same cars and forwarded to seaboard points at a
cut rate. Freight circles are a great deal ex--
cited over the position the c., ID. 81 ID. is placed
in, and speculation as to what will be the re-
suits of breaking the pooling agreement runs
high. 1t is believed that Vice-president
Waite was ignorant that this plan of
evading the pool was going on, as ne
was in attendance at the meeting of presidents
in New York a short time since. and at the
meeting first proposed attaching a penalty to the
breaking of the pooling agreement, In the
course of his remarks saying that "a pool was
not a pool without a penalty for breaking its
agreements" He then cited the case of a road
in a lumber pool which paid a $4,000 penalty.
and he said since that time the management OF
that road had appreciated a pool.
Commissioned Doherty has forwarded a state
ment of the above character, and the proofthere-
with to the executive committee Of the trunk
line pool, for them to take such action as they
see proper. Mr.. Doherty is credited with having
shown commendable ability in a detective way
in working the case up.
