Local Option.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
AS prohibitionsts are just now so prolific in
opinions about the political situation, I take the
liberty Of INDUCING an opinion also.
The stand the Republican party is taking
throughout the State in favor of local option, as
shown by the resolution adopted at various
county conventions. will surely receive the un-
qualified and enthusiastic sanction of every
friend of temperance and lover of law and order,
regardless OF party views and if that stand is
taken by the next Republican State convention
both the success of the party and local option
will be insured.
Local option is just, honest and purely Demo
cratic in its nature, and the very best course for
us now to take upon this subject. Local option
is prohibition wherever there are enough friends
of the cause to enforce any strong law, and will
prove perfect success in most of the counties
in Indiana; and where there is not majority in
favor Of local option it is the very best means
known to restrict the traffic and collect the high
est possible taxes from it. Local option is really
the only opportunity for success now and we
should accept it without delay.
AS a lifelong prohibitionist most sincerely
hope the Republican party will declare in favor
of local option at Its next State convention.

ARCADIA, Ind, March 6, 1886.


The County Commissioners yesterday refused
the application of w. Fl. Dickson for license to
open saloon at Broad Ripple. The refusal was
made on the ground of the petitioners non-resi-
dence. His own testimony showed that his
household goods were still at Fishers Station
Hamilton county, and that his future residence
in Broad Ripple depended upon his procuring a
saloon license. This alone was sufficient to blast
Mr.. Dickson's expectations, and the Commission
ers did not think it worth while to consider the
other features of the remonstrance against the
petition. Dickson thought he would take the
matter to the Circuit Court, but his attorney ad
vised him to live in the county long enough to
establish q residence. The Fleming remon-
STRANGE will be considered to-day.

Milwaukee Says General Manager Dimmick,

the Southwest. along the proposed extension of
the Chicago, Milwaukee g. St Paul railway to
Kansas City, announces that construction work
is to be commenced in about two weeks, and
from that time carried forward as rapidly as
possible, as it is important that the road shall
be completed by year from the coming August.
To construct the 200 miles of road, many por-
tions of which will require heavy and expensive
grading, will cost something like 81 900, co. IL re-
gard to the company's extension in Dakota for the
present year, Manager Miller makes the an
nouncement that at the recent meeting of the
company's directors it was decided to build from
Andover, on the Tasting & Dakota division. to a
point fifty miles north from Scotland to
Mitchell. D. t.. distance Of forty
seven miles; and from ipswich. the
present western terminus of the Hastings

the Missouri river. Res arding an extension of
the road to Bismarck, Mr.. Miller is not of the
opinion that it will be done during the present
year unless the policy of competing lines should
make it necessary to proceed in that direction
without further delay.

Too MANY ssIfs, in the WAY.

The Chicago g. Atlantic has ceased to report
its tonnage to the Chicago east-bound pool, and
this furnishes basis for the railroad editor of
the Chicago Tribune to predict a general war on
east bound rates The Tribune says
IF Judge Gresham refuses to appoint a re-
cever, the Atlantic is in for fight and even if
a receiver IS appointed who is not friendly to the
Erie, he is likely to continue to carry out the
present policy of President Jewett The Allan
tic has thus far found good outlet to Baltimore
by the Baltimore g. Ohio, but even in the
event of this road declining to inter
change business with the Atlantic, it will
be able to reach tidewater via the
Chesapeake g. Ohio to Newport News. 1t is
understood that friendly relations exist between
President Huntington of the Chesapeake 6 Ohio
and President Jewett of the Chicago e. Atlantic,
and that arrangements have been perfected be-
tween them by which the Atlantic takes its bus
mess to its terminus at Marion, o., thence by
the Hooking Valley to Point Pleasant thence
by the River division of the Ohio Central to
Charleston. w. Va, where connection is made
with the Chesapeake & Ohio for Newport News
By this route the Chicago g. Atlantic will have a
line to tidewater from Chicago as short as the
Lake Shore and New York Central to New York
None of the lines in this combination are mem
bers Of the east-bound pool, and are therefore in
a position to do as they please without any
chance of being ipterfered with by the trunk

when he became unable to perform the duties OF

the effect that has evidently been
produced on the public mind in Texas,
whose people are ever quick to applaud
courage and backbone, or despise their
opposite. Without disparaging other
gentlemen, Judge Cook is now virtually
one of the leaders of the conservative
masses of Texas as against lawlessness-
a position he undoubtedly has not sought
or desired.
Without doubt, should the conservative
law and order element of the democratic
party of Texas, in tie August convention,
determine to express condemnation of the
anarchists and their crimes in this state
a month or two ago-or bid defiance to
organized lawlessness-the nomination of
Judge Cook might give expression to
their sentiment.
But one thing is certain. 1t is, that

A POSSIBILITY.

There is no mistake that, as indicated
by the late utterances of the Galveston

but profound sentiment rising up among
the conservative masses of Texas favor
able to Judge Cook as possibility before
the Galveston convention. 1t seems to be
rather accidental than otherwise. When
Judge Cook came out over his own sigma
ture in the Galveston News, some time
ago, and boldly denounced the Knights of
Labor SO terrifcally as to attract the at
tention of the country, he proba-
