Against State Treasurer Cooper.

Elizabeth j. Rushton yesterday filed COM

Cooper, which involves litigation concerning a
trade for several acres of real estate in Isabella
Bryan's subdivision. She alleges that the de-
PENDANT approached her husband in 1873 with a
proposition to trade for the land, which she held
in her own right At first she refused to listen
to any arrangements Of the kind, the details of
which ''she could not and never did fully un-
derstand." She, knowing ''the incapacity and
stupidity of her husband" declined to sign any
deed of conveyance until Cooper promised to
pay her $1,000 in cash. The defendant she
claims, assented to this proposition, and the
deed was made and the land conveyed to him,
but she charges that the money has never been
paid to her, her husband or to anyone else in
her behalf She asks for q $40, 900 Judgment

Shippers are beginning to hold grain back in
anticipation Of an early reduction in east-bound
rates, and the opening of navigation may reduce
the freight rate on wheat to 20 cents hundred,
Chicago to New York, and other points in the
usual proportion, although the railroads are not
getting very rich off the present rate Of 25 cents
The Chicago Times, in commenting on the
probabilities of an early reduction, says: Some
OF the officials here anticipate reduction of the
grain rate, shortly, to 20 cents per hundred
pounds, and say that pressure is being brought
to bear upon the trunk-line presidents in that
direction. Opinions vary as to the influence
upon freights such reduction would have.
Many claim that its effect in stimulating ship
ments would not last beyond two or three days,
when the market would move up
to it, counterbalancing the reduction,
and leaving the roads without added
tonnage and the lesser earning power involved
in the fve-cent reduction. Others claim that
this is a fallacy, and that the twenty fve-cent
rate enforced during the winter has been great
mistake, locking up grain here and throughout
the West in elevators until such time 6s the
opening of lake navigation would relieve the
pressure Whichever may be the proper view,
it is certain that the critical time for the West
ern connections of the Eastern tIunk lines is ap-
preaching. So far it has been plain sailing, for
whatever freight has gone forward has been
taken at fairly remunerative rates, but lake COM

think it will, unless unwise means are used to
stop its progress. In Europe. Socialism is the
object aimed at by the revolutionists but that
idea can never obtain foothold here, especially
with native-born citizens Our workiugmen are
not asking a division of any mans goods, they
covet no mans silver or gold, but demand a
right to live, and a right to hold what
they earn, and not be compelled to sup
port class of useless hangers-on of society.
During the progress of this upheaval there
will be some dust in the air. but when it settles
away the working men will not be found at the
bottom of the hill. In that new generation the
producers will be the rulers. Laws will be made
that will secure justice to all The Glasses
known as landlord and tenant will not live
there, and the large army of rental agents, land
agents, and land spectators will DE retired and
can go into producing their own food Laws
will be enacted by working men that working
men can understand without the aid of a law
yer. That will release another costly class of citi-
zens and after the pruning knife has been used
few years the country will show up like the
Garden of God.n and where barren plains now
lie there will fruits and flowers grow. Then
will Whittier's reform poem be in place:
All grim, and soiled, and Drowned with tan,
saw strong man in his wrath
Shifting the goddess shrines of man
Along his path.
Yet louder rang the strong mans strokes,
Yet nearer flashed his AXIS CLEAN;
Saddened and sick of heart woke
As from q dream
] looked; aside the dust-coud rolled;
The master seemed the builder, too;
Uprising from the ruined old
Lsaw the new.
Twas but the ruin of the bad
The wasting of the wrong and ill;
Whatever of good the old time had
Was living still.
Calm grew the brow of him feared;
The frown which awed me passed away
And left behind smile that cheered
Like break of day.
Grown wiser for the lesson given,
fear no longer, for know
That where the pillow is deepest driven
The best fruits grow.

Serves Them RIGHT.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
The proposition now pending before the City
Council to make short work with the telephone
company unless it comes to time, is the proper
thing to be done The city never allowed cor
poration to trifle with it Read the history of
the street railroad. 1t was never allowed sin
gle day of grace. If it did not come to time its
charter was annulled and the whole thing was
sent to the shades. It has never been allowed
to render imperfect and unsatisfactory service.
Mark the promptness with which it has been
dealt with every time it has tried to run car
without conductor, as required by its charter.
Every time it has left the streets in bad condi-
ton the whole machinery has been stopped

pany to trife with us when we never

the gas company, and the waterworks
company, and the Western Union, and the B, &
O. and the railroads. Never have we tolerated
the least infraction of the city ordinances by
either, and now if we quail before the telephone
company it will look as if we were afraid to
tackle fellow of our own size, while we take
delight in kicking the poor and helpless, such as
the street-car company, the gas company and
the like. More than that, we ought to make
them serve us at our own price, whether they
want to or not. That is the way we have always
done with the telegraph companies, the express
companies the gas company and the railroad
companies Let there be no backing down now
because this infantile and feeble company is in
our way. Make them take down their poles and
coil up their wires. and let US give them only
few days to do it in. In the language of the
poet: s'Rattle their bones over the stones, it's
