Commissioner Fink,s Views.

In an interview of a reporter of the New York
Times with Commissioner Fink the latter is
quoted as saying the Chicago & Grand Trunk rail
way will withdraw from the Chicago east bound
freight pool April l. and the division of business
among the different roads by percentage will
cease at that time. Commissioner Fink claims,
however, that the officers of the road will agree
with the other lines on rates and will maintain
them. There was no Chicago pool before 1879.
Rates may be maintained without pool if there
L. an earnest and honest desire on the part of
the roads to do So We shall see how the expe-
riment results. I think there is at present no
desire to enter into war of rates All roads
seem to be more anxious now than they have
been for some time to maintain the existing low
tariffs" The reporter put several questions to
the genial old gentleman, which were answered
In his usual. sensible and direct manner. Among
the questions asked Were:
s'How can rate wars be prevented and rates
maintained without poolsr by each road keep
ing its agreement" replied Commissioner Fink
abruptly. s.ln order TO secure steady rates and
to avoid unjust discrimination the railroads
ought to agree upon tariffs, publish Them, ard
then be compelled by some power or other to ad-
here to them"
'Are uniform rather than lower rates to be de-
sired7"
ssThere is no more danger of high tariffs The
danger is that they will be too low. In our or
ganization are represented between forty and
fifty railroads. If each of these roads were to
make rates independent of the other chaos
would be the result as it always is in rate war.
The necessity of an organization is plain.
Would the suspension of pooling interfere
with the present organization of the joint ex-
ecutive committeel'
TT would not The organization If neces-
sity, entirely independent of pooling. 1t is a
medium for settling questions Of all kinds aris-
ing among roads competing for and interchang.
ing business, and, in short, for adjusting their
transportation relations of every nature. In
stead of forty fifty roads endeavoring to trans
act business with each other. which is almost an
impossibiity, they transact it through one Office
This plan has been found so convenient and
effective that am sure the roads would not re-
sort to the old methods"

Chicago from Detroit over the Wabash and Chi

upon better footing than heretofore.
Track-laying on the Fort Worth e. Denver
road, between Wichita Falls and the new town of
Harold, Tex. is now progressing at the rate of
about mile day. Harold is the point at
which cattle from Southern and Southwestern
Texas will be rallied.
The work of weighing the mail bags at the
Union Depot at Pittsburg, Pa, to form basis
for next years government contract, has been
completed after seyenty-eight days work 1t
was found that daily average of thirty tons
per cent increase on the daily average of the
two previous years.
Orders for 35 600 tons of steel rails were placed
in Pennsylvania mills the principal order being
10000 tons for the Louisville 81 Nashville rail-
road. Two thousand tons per month are to be
delivered The price is variousiy stated. but
there is every reason to believe that the net fig
ure at te mill is low. 1t is certain that $26 has
been shaded this week.

The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fs Railway
Company yesterday placed survey corps in the
field to run branch railroad line from Burnalil-

These springs have long been noted as superior

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
The state Geolorist.


To the Editor or tho indianapolis Jou rnai:
From your editorial comment upon Governor
Gray's appointment of DIR. Maurice Thompson
to the post of State Geologist, the inference
seems naturally drawn that creditable achieve
ment in light literature, and especially the
somewhat sibylline power of perceiving the
'Witchery of Archery" precludes the POSSIBLE
ity of transforming, the charming author into
the veracious cosmographic statistician.
On second thought however, you will perceive
that a thorough knowledge of the long bow is
an accomplishment never heretofore despised
by Mr.. Thompson's predecessors. Their pa
Neurological essays have, for me- all the breath
less fascination of wild romance, and their min
eralogica revelations of the resources of our good
Hoosier State awaken recollections of the
auriferous visions of the transmutationists of
mediBvai times.
The mystery of this appointment. to my
mind. Mr.. Editor. lies in the question of how
Governor Gray escaped all the county school
superintendent of the State, to fall upon gen.
tleman of great versatility. and an ambition that
will quickly adapt him to all the requirements of
his Office SERTORIUS.

A young orchard will be nearly ruined by
seeding to clover, and bearing orchard will
often be injured. For young apple orchards old
enough to produce fruit but which persist in
growing more wood instead, seeding down is
sometimes beneficial. 1t checks too rapid
growth and induces fruitfulness One reason
why clover is so injurious to orchards is that it
is not generally plowed under until the trees are
in full leaf. This is great check to their
growth, and the subsequent rotting Of the clover
season, which does not ripen its wood and is
liable to be winter killed. This alternate check
and stimulation is especially injurious to pear
trees, and is apt to cause blight

TNHE undersigned, a Committee of Di-

Board on the advantages offered by the
Society to the public, report

3d-Thc premiums on Tontine po-
Icy are the same as on the Ordinary

time, after his producing years are past,
he can, without any larger premium
than on an ordinary policy, secure these
greater advantages.
4th-Experience shows that the return
paid in cash on maturing Tontinc DO.
licies approximate to or exceeds the
amount of premiums paid by policy
holders, so that the average cost of the
assurance will be only about the interest
on the premiums.
5th-Tontine policies, like others, are
paid in full in the event of death at any
time during the term of the policy, and
are incontestable after three years, and
payable Immediately after due proof of
death.

Rowdrism in legislatures

There is too much leniency shown to
rowdies who succeed in getting them
selves elected members of legislative
4 bodies. Instead of eXpening them as
soon as it is discovered what sort OF men
they are, there is a disposition too often to
/ excuse them. Last Wednesday a men,
/ Der of the Ohio Legislature was guilty Of
! conduct that would not have been tolera-
ted even in a gathering Of the lowest
rowdies. He charged certain members
with having been influenced by improper
motives, with having accepted brides, and
with having lied to the House. There
came very near being free fight. As it
was the House was so excited that it was
unable to DO any more business during
the day. The rOwdy was denounced by
leading members of both parties, and he
NAV be expelled. He had been guilty Of
like conduct several times before, and
had been excused on the ground that he
did not know any better. His surround
ings in youth, it seems, were bad and
his education was neglected. From
this it appears that he is not fit for the
place he occupies and ought not to be
allowed to retain it.
A couple of weeks ago there was a dis
graceful scene in the Texas Legislature.
Two Senators engaged in Safeguarding
and insulting each other. They became
so violent in their language and actions
that it was with difficulty that they were
prevented from engaging in a r0ugh-and-
tumble fight on the floor Of the Senate.
These are only two of many instances
that are reported in the newspapers. The
wonder is that men who 90 not know
what is due to their positions and to those
with whom they are associated, are per
mitted to occupy places that ought to be
filled only by those who know how and
are willing to conduct themselves in a
manner creditable to themselves and to
those whom they represent.
Even in Congress there are sometimes
disgraceful scenes. Members who know
how to behave themselves indulge in Ian
guage that they are ashamed to permit to
60 before the country in the published pro-
| ceedings. There ought to be standard
of conduct established in legislative
bodies, and all who fail to come up to it
ought to be made to suffer the disgrace Of
expulsion. There would then be less
blackguardism in the halls of legislation.

Some More Incidents in the Lives of
Noblemen.
There has been a scandal within the
last ten days, says London letter,
which, though not yet taken up by the
press, has created a whisper sensation
and slightly stirred tea circles. Col. Fitz
George, a son of the Duke of Cambridge
by his morganatic marriage, has allowed
judgment to go against him by default as
correspondent in a suit for divorce by a
brother officer. There are three OF these
young men in the British army, and they
are generally regarded-twO of them were
for some time in CANADIANS rather good
and gallant fellows. Their mother, Miss
Fairbrother, was a very beautiful girl,
specially remarkable for the magnificence
of her locomotives, when she attracted
the admiration of the then Prince George,
and has since the alliance been remark
able for the loyalty of her love and quiet,
feminine virtues, qualities which have
won for her the respect and
regard in private OF her royal rela-
tives. When the late Duke, she often
told, heard or the alliance, he drove to
her house in Bolton street to see her, and
when she with some hesitation entered
the room, asked her bruSquely: E'Do you

Iogan,s Prospects.

The struggle in the Illinois Legislature
over the Senatorship still continues, but
the prospect that Logan will be elected
becomes daily less promising. AS they
say in the West, it doesn't appear to be
on the cards that he shall win. He has
made a good many successful political
fights, but it is probable that the time for
him to retire to private life has come.
Gen. Logan has many strong friends in
Illinois, but there isn't enough of them,
apparently, to return him to the Senate.
1t is hardly probable that the plan that
was mapped out in the beginning, to
prevent an election and give the Governor
chance to appoint Logan, can be
executed. The Republican members are
not sufficiently attached to Logan. If a
Republican other than Logan can be
elected it is pretty certain that the
Republicans will abandon Logan. 1t
begins to look as if ex-Congressman
Farwell, OF Chicago, were the coming
man. lie has money, aud the impression
appears to be that it will take money to
break the deadlock.
IL Logan is beaten he will doubtless
drop out of politics altogether. He is not
a man of sufficient ability to survive
/ few years retirement at his age. The
new men who will come to the front a.
soon as he is pushed aside will probably
remain there for awhile. NOtwithstand
ing that Logan has been prominent pc
litlcal figure for many years, his retire
ment will not perhaps be greatly re
