TO ADVERTISE THE CITY.

The question of natural gas in indianapolis
has at last been settled on basis that promises
great results for the city. The period of agi-
tation and preliminary discussion may have
been characterized by some mistakes, but even
these have contributed in measure to the
final and happy solution of vexed question
involving diversity of interests and many
novel features There is every reason to be-
lieve that the practical solution which has
been reached will prove satisfactory to all
interests and immensely advantageous to the
city. The net result is that indianapolis can
now offer the cheapest fuel of any city of its
grade in the United States. The Journal is
of the opinion that this contamination is
very important event for the city. and will
mark the beginning of new era in its his
tory. In order to realize it's benefits in the
largest degree and at the earliest day possible,
the fact should be advertised through channels
and in quarters where it will be brought
directly to the attention of capitalists and

of say So, 900 for that purpose To inaugurate
the movement the Journal will head the list
with subscription of 500 for such a fund,
to be expended by committee of the Board
or Trade, or of citizens to be appointed for
the purpose. All who feel like aiding in
effort 70 advertise the city in the manner
suggested are requested to send their names
and subscriptions to the Journal. or to the
Board of Trade, and they will be publicly
acknowledged and duly accounted for. Let
us advertise Indianapolis.

other course is the suggestion of those who
desire distraction in party counsels and action
rather than the selection of any Indianian.
The arguments and the duty would be the
same were Judge Gresham and General Har-
rison in reversed positions
It was divided State delegation that has
been the weakness of John Sherman in the
last two conventions; divided State
delegation viii make not only the
candidate but the State powerless
and contemplate. The great strength of
John Sherman to-day is the belief that, for
the first time. Ohio is likely to be solid and
heartily in his favor. The talk Of Foraker
comes from much the same spirit and from like
sources as the talk Of Judge Gresham when
ever General Harrison is named. 1t need not
be said that If Governor Foraker or Judge
Gresham were made the nominee by the con-
vention, either of them would receive the
unqualified and earnest support of the Repub-
lican party; but as Ohio Republicans are
bound in honor and in good faith to present
John Sherman. so are the Republicans of
Indiana bound to present Benjamin Harrison,
and they will do it with heartiness and good
will. As for Governor Gray--the journal has
nothing to do with the candidacy of Governor

ALMOST everybody but the journal knows
what it is shouting Justify to have an
swered. It was long ago announced that the
Trust would begin its service to factories at
more than IA per cent below ordinance rates;
that it will, to begin with, furnish the gas at
6 cents instead of THE News
That announcement never was officially
made, or if it has been. the accredited organ
of the Trust knew nothing about it, for only
two days ago it said, "Gas at cents is all
we offer factories" In view Of the maunder-
ings of the News upon the gas question and
the cost at which it is to be furnished, we
prefer some better authority. We should like
an authoritative statement from the Trust as
to the price at which it will fur nish gas to
factories I've hope it will deign to reply to
the question, for it is asked in good faith,
and with the single purpose of being able to
advertise the fact to the country for the ben
eft of the city.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1888-02-16

It has been said over and over again that gas
was bound to come here. It has come, and
now the factories are bound to come. The
main point and the present duty is to adver-
tise the advantages of the city, and especially
the great fact of the acquisition of gas The
future of the city has never been in doubt. It
was bright enough and secure enough before
natural gas was talked about, but
this latest acquisition has made it far
brighter and far more secure. What
ever the mistakes of the past may
have been, there is no mstaking the present.
The time has come for forward movement
ali along the line, and it should begin with
systematic effort to advertise the city. We
must not hide our light under bushel. We
have got a big one, and we ought to place it
on bill. where it will flame far and wide,
and announce to the world that Indianapolis,
in addition to its other recognized advantages,
is now furnishing natural gas for manufact-
uring purposes at cents per thousand feet.
This fact, widely published, would undoubted-
ly exert an important influence on the bust
ness prospects of the city, and add very ma
terially to its prosperity during the present
year.

His humorous sarcasm was far more effective
than volumes of solemn denunciation Of the
Democratic element toward which his ridi-
cule was directed, and undoubtedly of much
use in solidifying public opinion in many
quarters concerning copperheadism. Whether
this were the case or mott however, he did
admirable service in that depressing time by
affording diversion to the minds Of statesmen
burdened with care. Even Lincoln found a
pleasure in reading the epistles from the

does not necessarily possess particular sig
