THE Journal devotes large share Of its
space, this morning, to the most thorough and
comprehensive review of the business of 1884
and presentation of the prospects of trade
and industry for 1885 ever published in Indi-
annapolis. This review has not been gotten up
in the usual cheap and hurried fashion
incident to such features, but it is the intelli-
gent work of intelligent and careful men,
who have taken ample time to obtain the facts
and to present them in an entertaining and
reliable manner. A large edition of the Jour
nal is printed, and copies containing this
review can be had at the counting room.

A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION,
A Chicago Tug-BOat Utterly Destroyed and
Five Men Blown to Pieces

CHICAGO, Dec. 3L-The tug Admiral had just
let go the line of the barge D. NJ Wilson, in
Mason's slip at Twenty second and Morgan
streets, late this evening, when a terrible
explosion was heard and the spot where the tug
lay was marked only by whirling debris and
cloud of steam and smoke. All portions of the
tug above water had been smashed into
fragments, and the hull sunk out of sight
Windows a block away were broken and
the crew on the barge were stretched
on deck almost senseless. The stan
chious and headgear of the Wilson were
carried away, and it is thought many of
her tlmbers were started The captain of a
schooner alongside the barge was thrown
heavily against the cabin, and it is
feared, seriously injured. The owners of
the tug say the only persons that
could have been aboard were Captain Andrew
Green, the engineer, Joseph Hogan and Lure-
man Bone, but the men who were working on
vessels in the vicinity assert that there were
two other men on the tug besides
the crew of three. The only traces of the five
victims are battered hat and
boot containing a stocking and
pieces of flesh, which were found on one
side of the river, and on the other side a
mangled corpse. supposed to be that
of lineman Bone the left arm of the corpse was
entirely blown from the body. and the face and
chest were shockingly bruised and torn 1t
seems certain that the poor victim was hurled
into the air across two large steam barges,
and striking the wall of a grain eleva-
tor, dropped back to the dock 1t is
surmised that more of the remains will be
discovered when daylight permits a search of
the hundred tall lumber piles with range of
the explosion. These piles are &C 4 with
sleet, and one could be found dared
ascend them in the darkness.

REFERRING to the proposed congressional
investigation into the liquor traffic, the Mil

"The real purpose Is to keep the liquor
question alive-to secure some action that
will seem to be triumph for the Prohibi
tionists. The Democrats are now willing to
aid in keeping alive the movement since it
served them so well in the recent campaign.
If there is any doubt in anvbody's mind as to
the pernicious effects of liquor, if there is
any reason to suspect that intemperance is
not vice, then let the people of any State
where the doubt exists set up their own in

itself to the scheme of the Prohibitionists. If
there is any State where tho majority is in
favor Of prohibition, it may be tried without
an appeal to Congress. 1t is no part of the

The Louisville Commercial has no synipa-

the editor of the Courier-Journal. Abiding
to the presence of Mr. Randall in Kentucky,
and 70 his speech in advocacy of tariff that
will protect American enterprise and industry,
the Commercial says:
''There was q time when the true
Kentucky idea was that represented by Mr..
Clay-the American system as opposed to
subserviency to the labor systems of other
countries in the worlds trade. These were
days when the people of this State gave more
careful attention to the merits of public ques-
tons than has since been the case, and the
verdict of the people was that Mr.. Clay
on the right side. What Mr. Randall advo-
Gates in the way of encouraging American in
dustries is nearer to that Kentucky idea
than are the vagaries [of the Courier Journal,

have objected to Mr.. Randalrs coming to con-
slider whether they have not been misled in
