A KnOtty Question Coming to the Front.

"A hhOtIy XucelOn OOin1nS 10 ING TOnCs
The classification discrimination question
seems to be spreading. st. Louis was first to
move in the matter. Now the wholesale grocers
of Chicago have addressed an exceedingly lengthy
pamphlet to the general managers of the roads
using the joint Western classification, in which
they say that they have learned that their petit
ton presented to the joint Western classification
committee in October. 1884, together with SIM
liar petitions from the wholesale and jobbing
grocery interest of st. Louis and Milwaukee,
pre- sented about the same time asking the abro
CATION of carload rates on certain articles han
died by grocers of the cities named, have been
referred to the committee. and that the latter
have agreed to consider this matter of long
standing at a meeting to be held In Chicago Nov.
5: and they earnestly desire that the committee
should become acquainted with every phase of
this discrimination that it may act intelligently
in removing the arbitrary percentage against
them as now represented by the classification in
making rates for carload shipments and higher
rates for less lots.

A Question Whether the Wabash Will Get
the l., +. g. G. Road.


A gentleman who well understands the situa-
ton says it is questionable whether the Wabash
people get hold of the Indianapolis, Peru e. Chi
cago road. The fact is, that of the 100000
of bonds resting on the road, they
hold but 5000, 900. while otLer parties who
are amply able to purchase the road, hold the
remainder, and the fact that one of the parties
has recently purchased 100000 of such bonds.
which were supposed to be held in the interest
Of the Wabash road, goes to show that there
will be other active bidders in the field. 1t does
not take very far-sighted man to
see that the scheme of the Wabash people is to
secure the portion of the old l., P. e g. system,
lying between indianapolis and Peru and let
the north end drop into the bands of the bond
holders; but the c., i. 81 G. division would be
at the mercy of the Wabash people and
would be much less valuable than
now So it would not be sur
prising should the bondholders of the por
ton of the l., p. & G. road. lying between Peru
and LaPorte, either be bidders for the L., P. q
c. proper lying between Peru and Indianapolis,
or their influence to induce parties to pur-
chase it who would work in harmony
with them. Then again, the c., st. L. & P.
trains run over sixty miles of this seventy three
miles of road and the Pennsylvania Company
would not go amlss should they purchase this
division at tia foreclosure sale which may
possibly be further off than has been intimated.
There two or three nice legal points as to
liabilities of the purchaser which the courts will
need first settle.

where an Increase in Business Nav Re
Looked For

The future of roads crossing Indiana east and
west is certainly very promising-more espe-
eially must the passenger traffic at no distant day
DO largely increased. Old passenger men we'll re-
member that when twenty five to thirty through
passengers were carried per day over the Terre
81 indianapolis and the st. Louis, Alton 81 Terre
Haute road they thought it big thing.
Later on, the /. 81 ST. l.. road was built, and the
number increased to forty to fifty per day over
lines. Ten years ago through seeping-coaches
were put on. This helped business somewhat
Since then more elegant sleeping coaches and
parlor-cars have been placed on
both of these lines aud when
the Vandaia and c., st l.. & p does not now
carry 200 through passengers per day on their
several through trains ii is called an off day and
g. this must be added the through business of
The l. 81 81 L.. road and the Bee-line, which is
rapidly reaching the volume carried over the
Vandalia line There is every reason to believe
1hat the increase Of travel the next ten wears
viii double that of the past ten years The New
Englanders, the New York. Pennsylvania and
OHIO people have been moving to States west of
Indiana In the few years past and getting into
circumstances financially which will enable

Eastern homes, and in turn their
friends will visit them that they may see the
wonders of the great West, and it is evident
that there is to he steady increase yearly in
passenger travel over the roads crossing Indiana.
and with this materially there will be an increase
in freight business. The business of the ex-
press companies WILL as well, increase rapidly,
and also the United States mail service. 1t is,
as well, quite evident that the growth of bust
will be the most rapid with the midland
routes, those passing through Indianapolis. The
lines more direct immensely better time is
made than by the northern routes, and then the
climate is in favor OF the former, especially In
the winter months.

RUssELLvILLE, ARK, Sept. 1885,
Please oblige me by giving space in
your paper for the following notes,
The crop is estimated by me the un-
dersigned a. being as follows:
Cotton, 5 acres to the bale, upland
upland corn 10 hu. per acre.
/ am sorry to say that the present
condition of things has given most
of our good citizens the Texas fever.
l don't see why the crops are so bad.
If the crops don't get to doing bet
ter we are going to lose most of our
best citizens. The only salvation
can see is to abandon raising cotton
and take up goober peas in its stead.
We do not raise enough corn. II we
would raise little more corn and
hogs we would prosper better. So
my advice to all upland farmers
would be, raise more corn and hogs
and not SO much cotton.

The Wilson Monument.
Dardanelle Post, 3D..

The monument which went over
yesterday to be set up in the Russell
vile cemetery to the memory OF Mrs.
r. j. Wilson is without doubt the
finest monument ever worked in OAR
danelle. 1t is of the finest Italian
marble, artistically cut after one OF
the most beautiful designs ever con-
ceiyed, and both in symmetry and
Workmanship is absolutely faultless
at least so to the average observer.
The marble base is two feet square,
eight inches high and bears in large,
bold and perfectly plain letters the
name "Wilson.' Upon this sets the
die, eighteen inches square and
twenty-five inches high, bearing the
memorial inscription, which is a
paragon of beauty and grace, mod
ell Of simplicity--touchingly written
and tastefuly executed.
