on its customary volume after lull like that of
few weeks past. In the country stores stocks are
low, and merchants have their accounts well paid up,
and, as a consequence, are in buying mood and
good business is looked for in most departments fror
now Grocers report matters in good shape for a
brisk trade The strong tone of sugar is increasing
The demand and the distribution of coffee is larger

The provision market is, taken a whole strong in
tone, and packers rather bulls the market,
notwithstanding the attempts the last week to break
prices by spectators. Two of the Indianapolis houses
will killing Monday. Kingan g. Co. are
troubled to get hogs to keep them busy but look

considerable in the way of replenshing broken stocks.
The inquiry for spring goods already, indicates
early brisk spring trade. The produce

Economical Railroading.

Probably the most economically managed
railroad in the world ism Ross county, Ohio.
Its corporate name is the Cincinnati, Hooking
Valley s. Huntington railroad. 1t is only ten
miles in length, and was organized and built
mainly by John Karshner, wealthy farmer.
When the road was built he sold the crops of
his farm for one year and bought a locomotive
which he called the John Karshner. Then he
had built a combination passenger and baggage
car, and his equipment was complete He has
been operating the road for two years At first
he employed a conductor and freight agent,
and followed the customs of larger roads. But
being an active man. though over seventy years
of age. he soon dispensed with all superfuous
services. and now he combines within himself
the entire list of railroad men. from owner and
president to conductor and brakeman. His
train goes twice day from Adelphi to Kingston
and return. 1t will step on signal at any farm
house or cross-road for passengers or freight.
Mr.. Karshner goes on every train as conductor.
brakeman, baggage-master, mail and express
agent, and even news agent. He sells no
tickets; has no running arrangements with other
roads; has running accounts for freight,
passengers or express; everything is cash. He
does not require q book keeper nor even a clerk.

There is one such in this city. however. This
lordly fellow has money of his own. but has

may rise to a position of financial response

The other day the daughter of the wealthy err

Politics in the Fire Departm
ha Editor of thu Indiananolia Inurnalr

70 the Editor OF the INDIANAPOLIS Journal
Your article in this mornings issue on ''poli-
tics" in the fire department will certainly meet
the hearty approval of every man engaged in
sound fire underwriting. Politics in fire de-
partment means misfortune to FIRE insurance
interests, as also to the careful business man
and all provilent citizens. The city of Evans
vile to-day is under the necessity of eliminating
politics from their department else many insur
ance companies will exact additional rates there
or withdraw from business
A well selected fire chief, backed up by
sble city government. is competent to select his
men impartially. Chief Webster is such a man
am Republican but not on this question.
