The Musical Festival

To the Editor Of the Indi ana polls Journal:
Our first musical festival has come and gone.
The memory of it is pleasant. The success OF it
is unquestioned The praise of 1t is in every
mouth. Our distinguished artistic. Miss Leh-
mann, spoke in very complimentary terms of the
chorus, especially. referring to itas being larger
than the Cincinnati chorus, as good as the
choruses of Eastern cities, and the quality Of its
voices as good as can be found in Europe.
Among the things that have obviously con-
tributed to make such praise deserved have
been the wise selection Of so admirable and skill

efficient an orchestra, the favorable arrange:
ment of the chorus in the hail. whereby the
volume Of tone was sent forth in the direction
where it was to tell most. and the excellent ac-

element that has made it possible to form 60
large q chorus and make it effective in so
short space of time. It is known to all who
are familiar with our system OF public. schools
that for the last twenty years music has been a
regular branch OF study in them, and we learn
that from one half to three-fourths of the mem
bers of the chorus are either present or past
members of the schools, and, having enjoyed
aid profited by this instruction, have been able
to contribute, in no small degree. to the results
reached. We think this word due to the eff

Loomis who directed the musical work in the
schools, and who was a member of thu chorus.
We hope the time is not far distant when the

CHICAGO June 9.-The Daily News this morn
ing prints a long special from Philadelphia re-
speeding tie career of Charles T. Yerkes, jr,
president of the North Chicago Railway Com
pany, who has just received such a munifcent
grant from the City Council The article shows
that Yerkes was indicted in the court of Oyer
and Terminer, at Philadelphia. together with
Joseph F. Marcer, treasurer of that city for the
em6ezzlement of city funds to the amount of
$47S. 600. 1t appeared that all the city moneys
were turned over by the city treasurer to Yerkes
for investment and were lost. The specific
charge against Y erkes was larceny Of check for
500, 048 So which amount OF money, it is charged,
he obtained from the city treasury Oct. Ia, 1871,
and declared himself bankrupt Oct. l6, 1871
Yerkes was sentenced to the penitentiary for
two years and six months. Marcer was sem
fenced for four years and nine months. Both
were pardoned at the expiration of seven
months, according to the dispatch, for political
reasons, and to prevent disclosures of q damag-
ing character against other public officials then
in Office. The publication has occasioned great
sensation here in connection with the allegations
made in the Times as to the supposed bribery in
connection with the street railway ordinance

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
The Station Agents Association-Plan Of
Mutual Guarantee.


Mutual Guarantee.
To the Editor of the Indianapolis journal:
The May number of the Railway Station
Agents Journal explains, in a very interesting
way, some of the objects of the National Rail-
road Agents Association, which meets at Indi-
annapolis on the 9th inst Among these things is
the proposed department for guaranteeing the
integrity Of employees. to take the place of the
public guarantee companies. The motive that
induces this departure is laudable, but the
means taken to secure the object do not strike
me as being adequate or proper.
In the first place. the method proposed is
neither equitable nor mutual To be equitable
it must be fair; to be mutual, it must be uniform
in lis benefits and responsibilities By refer
ence to Sec. z, of the articles incorporating the
Association, il will be that it is neither
that while the funds of the guarantee depart
ment are primarily liable for its own obligations
yet. from the words that follow, ''Ail OF the OBJ
legations Of said guarantee department of every
kind and character shall FIRST be discharged be-
fore any Of Its funds shall be In any manner la
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1886-06-10

bic for any other debt or obligation Of said
corporation" it is quite clear that the funds OF
the guarantee department may be used for other
purposes. So that the profits of the guarantee
department, instead of being shared among sub
scribers in proportion to the amount of cash
they have paid in premiums, will go to swell the
general fund of the Association. ThuS, mem
Der who was bonded for So 900 and paid premi-
ums thereon would contribute FIVE times as
much to the general fund of the Association as
the member who was bonded for $1,000 and in
the event there were members who did not pat
ronze the guarantee department, they would
participate in the surplus of that department,
while escaping its burdens entirely. This is not
fair.
Another thing, the Association, though not
hostile to railways. is the conservator of inter
ests that may, at any time, come into conflict
with them. 1t is, therefore, not probable that
railroad companies will permanently enter into
a scheme for placing power in the hands OF men
who may, at any time. use it as weapon
against them.
Again, in conducting the guarantee business, a
stern judgment musrbe passed upon the record
Of applicants. Would the management of an
order of the character of the National Railroad
Agents Association be likely to adopt this rigor-
Gus standard in conducting business3 Hardly.
1t would create too many divisions, schisns,
enmities.
Finally 1t must be remembered that the As
ISOLATION is benevolent, fraterna, brotherly; but
through the operation OF one OIL itS ueparttucuto,
its managers know all the secrets OF the lay
members, thus giving them undue and unwhole-
some advantage over their followers. This in
formation would be of no consequence if the As
ISOLATION were simply a guarantee company.
Such information is possessed by every guaran-
tee company, hut with them 1t is of business
nature and strictly confidential. But wouid
knowledge of this kind In regard to the private
affairs of members of benevolent association
tend to promote harmony and affection between
official custodans of these secrets and the mem
bersa Obviously not
Do not endanger, do not destroy the conf
dence and brothsrly love that should exist be-
tween officers and members by engrafting a
guarantee project upon the Association, making
ohe-half Of this fraternal organization the Gus
todian of the secrets of the other half. Surely
it would be far better, il mutual guarantee is de-
sirable, to organize company expressly, and
run it a strictly business basis entirely separ-
ate from the institution of the National Railroad
Agents Association. STATION AGENT

We protest against such slanderous talk,

Ma.ott, who was only seeking to benefit his pri.
vate interests in the proposed ordinances. Such
slanderous talk should be stopped now. We are

A Master Workman Sent to the Penitentiary
for Two Years.
ST. Louis. June 9-H. D. Davis, master
workman of the Knights of Labor assembly at
Pacific, No., was sentenced to two years in the
State Penitentiary and fined $500. in the Circuit
Court of Franklin county, at Union. Mo-, to-
day. He was leader in the late Southwestern
strike, and was arrested by Thomas Furlong,
chief of the Gould system secret service, for at
tempting to wreck the first freight train that left
St Louis during the strike on March "a. and
shooting at the guards. He was convicted and
sentenced TO two years on the former charge,
and pleaded guilty to the latter, for which he
was fined 800. The cases of the other strikers
at that place will be taken up tomorrow. Pacif-
ic was the hot-bed of the late strike, and was
the last place to surrender. This is the first
felony conviction growing out of the late strike.
