schemes which have been carried our Up TO
1882, the distinguishing feature of railway prog
ress was lack Of system, insuficiency of means
bad work and eventual ak-down, bankruptcy
and reorganization, with perhaps second reries
of bankruptcies and reorganizafions, like that
of the Wabash system. All that has been
changed There are no more small detached efforts
at railway construction. All the new lines are
now branches and feeders of the old ones built
with the expectation, or rather the certainty, of
loss in operation for the first few years. but
bnllt by old companies that bear the loss,
or convert IL into profit by swelling the bust
ness OF their main lines. The extensions built
by the Chicago & Northwestern in the past five
years, which would have bankrupted dozen
small companies, have enlarged the traffic of the
parent company to a degree that was nndreamed
OF when the extensions were undertaken. And
the same may be said of the Burlington. the
Atchison. and haf-a-doZen other great eompa-
MES, which still constructing lines in the
West and onward toward the Pacific. That the
public are really benefited by the systematiZa-
ton OF effort which enables railways to perform
the service required of them at lowest possible
cost there is no room for doubt
Preferred Charges Against the Wrong Road.
Investigation has shown that the Tandalia
and the !. & st. l. people jumped on to the l.. D.
S. road without cause, and that it was unjust to
allege that the l., D. & S., in connection with
the Wabash, was cutting rates to points west of
of the river, and the Vandala and l. & ST. L.
are disposed to set the matter right far as the
l.. d. & S. is concerned they being shown no
more favors by the roads west of the river than
the Vandalia or the l. & ST. L. It's the Wabash
that is doing the mischief, taking the freights
| around via Peru, which is very dishonorable
toward the l.. D. 81 S., their natural connection
for the West and directly adverse to their agree
ment with the yandalia and the L e. st. L. road
OF course. the Wabash has the advantage in this
matter, operating a line west of ST. Louis, but
the time will come when this matter will even
up. A large pen cent. of the business which goes
west of the river which is taken into St Louis
by the Vandalia the T. g. ST. L., goes west
from ST. Louis over the Jay Gould lines, and the
Wabash people could hardly do a more 6ishonor-
able thing than to come into this territory and
cut rates on business to points whore the proper
ty takes the arbitrary rates made to points west
OF the river. There can be no money actually to
the Wabash road in hauling this business
around via Peru, even at full tariff Therefore,
it is the more aggravating to the roads which
are disposed to act honoraby.

The coming campaign in this State will be the most
interesting and important in the history of the two
parties. The Legislature to be chosen will elect a
United States Senator, and the elements that will enter
into the contest promise to make the campaign a very
heated one.
THE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS will be
no less interesting and certainly no less important.
This campaign is to be pushed with more than usual
vigor on both sides, and the INTE1IlcENcER is soequip-
ped with correspondents as to be able to place all in
formation concerning the campaign in aprompt manner

Henry Wade, Of Toronto, Canada, who thought
that the true object of every exhibition should
be educational in a mental, material a social
and moral sense, and he deprecated the idea
that fairs should be made a holiday or mainly a
source of pleasure.
A committee on transportation, consisting of
Messrs. Mills, Reed and Wade. of st. Louis was
appointed to secure uniform rates from ali the
railroads to the different fairs for exhibitors.
The following resolution, introduced by Mr.
Mitchell was adopted:
Resolved That the ill-advised action of the Michi
gan State Fair Association at its recent meeting held
at Detroit in excluding from competition its forth
coming fair all live stock owned outside the State of
Michigan is not in keeping with the progressive spirit
that should characterize the action of body In
trusted with the of the better breeding
OF farm animals in State in which there is still
for Improvement and that the retrograde action of said
association in this respect is much to be regretted and
that in case the unjust discrimination against the
breeders of other States is maintained that fellowship
with the Michigan society and the organizations
posing the Intern atona Association cannot be rea.
sonably expected by said society.
The association adjourned at 6 o'clock, until

to-day embraces paper on Fair Circuits" by

culture at banquet given them at the Grand

of the city. Toasts were responded to by Mayor
Denny, President Walsh, and others, and the
evening was IN every way highly enjoyable

Thomas Birmingham Gets Two Years for
Manslaughter-Task Sentenced.

Harrison Haskell, the negro convicted of rape
was sentenced by Judge Norton to his twenty
one years Imprisonment yesterday. On being
asked If he had any statement to make he gave
negative answer, and appeared anxious to have
the affair over as soon as possible. The jury in
the Thomas Birmingham trial, previous to this,
returned verdict of guilty of manslaughter
after being out all night. The punishment was
fixed at two years in the penitentiary. It is
thought the jury ought to have extended SEN
tence, as the kicking and beating of the outcast
William Benton. was Of brutal and uncalled-
for severity However, the verdict showed that
the ingenious defense had but little weight with
the jurors. Thomas Jacobs was also found

INDIANA COAL MINES.
The Increase in the Production and the Gen
eral Condition Of the Business.

Thomas McQuade, the State Inspector of
Mines, yesterday filed with the Governor his an
nuai report, which shows that during the last
I'VE years the production Of coal in Indiana has
gradually increased from $50, 375 tons in 1880,
10 2.375.O0 tons in 1885. although the largest
production in any year was in 1883,
when it reached 1850, The Mine
Inspector thinks that the increased production is
due to the fact that less time has been lost by
strikes than in previous years. The capital
now employed in the business amounts to ST.
$50 600, which is 800, 900 more than was reported
in the previous year. The mine accidents last
yeNc numbered thirtytwo. of which seven re-
suited fatally Two-thirds of these accidents
were caused by the falling Of slate, and in many
cases they could have been avoided by proper
care.
1.-THE coal trade during the last year." the In
spector says has been in very satisfactory
condition, considering the depression in other
business. In the great block-coal district of
Clay county work has been generally good, with
no trouble or strikes of any kind. The men are
now working for an average Of eighty cents per
ton throughout the block-coal district In the
bituminous districts, the question Of reductions
in prices being agitated by the operators and OBJ
jections being raised by the men, the natural
consequences was labor troubles, and a number
of small strikes and local difficulties ensued"
In lasg July coJoreQ men from virginia were
imported to work in the Parke county coal mines,
where there was strike. The Inspector says:
THE company's bank bosses were very tired of
them by the time the white men had consented
to return to work. and began to make arrange
ments for their removal as fast as they could
and an excuse for letting them GO / do not
know how many colored men are now at
work, but l am certain the number must
be small as compared with the number brought
there in July. This statement should serve to
warn all persons against taking the places of
men while q strike / have noticed that on
many occasions where scabs took the places of
mon who were on strikes, when the strike
was ended the operator would have
no further. use for them. Strikes are
to be deplored, in whatever way
they are viewed. They are bad for the men en-.
gagged in them, and very often they are disas-
trous to the company. If reason took the place
Of prejudice, they would enter into one another's
grievances. and discuss them in friendly spirit,
not as belligerents on the point of declaring war
but men who felt that the prosperity of both
parties depended on the discretion and justice of
EACH The report shows that there are now 2I5
coal mines in Indiana, and the miners employed
IN them number G, 502.
