WE are quite certain the vast majority OF
the people Of the city want to see natural gas
in SO that it may be advertised to the
country that the new and cheap fuel is in
readiness for actual consumption. Other
towns and cities are having new and valuable
industries located because they have the gas,
and Indianapolis cannot afford to have the
tide of prosperity sweep by it for nothing.
We want the gas in fact as well as in promise.
There could be no more short-sighted policy
than to refuse a fair and candid consideration
of the existing ordinance. Let the changes
wanted by the two companies be formulated,
so they be discussed, and their justice
and probable effect fully known. If the
changes are only such as fair minded men
should readily grant, there is no reason why
gas should not be burning in our factories,
and in our stores, and in our homes within
the next thirty days at the outside. But the
changes must be only those whose necessity
and justice clearly apparent. To ask any
others would only prolong an unfriendly feel
ing and discussion, resulting badly to the
companies asking them and to the interests of
the city.

WE are informed by an esteemed con-
temporary that the vote on Lamar shows
what is to be gained by waving the bloody
shirt" Good. Out of the entire Republican
vote in the Senate but two failed to rally to
the bloody shirt" That is greatly better
than has been done in late years, since milk
soppery and dry rot have been mis-
taken for craftsmanship" BY the time of
the next election the Republican ranks will
be solid as stone wall for the ''bloody shirt"
of equal suffrage and representation. a fair
election, and no apologies for having over
come the rebellion by turning over the gov
ernment to the control of confederate ideas.
Long wave the "bloody shirt 1t will be
waved in the Indianapolis Journal without
the least abatement in vigor. Now is the
time to subscribe.

Their ignorant or malicious misrep-esen-
tation and denuncation. So Ear as the Jour
nal is concerned, it is free to say that
it thinks the changes will commend them
selves to reasonable men. The one respect
ing the unlimited extension of pipe at the
demand of the Council meets the approval of
a leading friend and ad vocate of the Trust. as
we have alluded to in the other article. The
one respecting the meters seems just and fair.
Meters cost on an average $25. as we are in
formed. If consumer demands one, the
company should not be at his within to order
it out in week, or q month, but he
should be required to retain it and take gas
by meter measurement for some reasonable
determinate length of time. However, the
people now know what is asked; of the justice
and propriety of the changes they will have
the opportunity to judge, as will the members
of the Council. Should there be further and
continued Misrepresentation, it can only come
from desire to retard the introduction of
gas and thus retard the prosperity of the city;
and to this policy we do not think any con-
siderable portion of the people will be likely
to agree.

THERE will be partisanizing of the fire
department Chief Webster can be relied
upon to prevent that, and satisfactory un-
derstanding has been reached between the
fire board and the chief Like most of such
troubles. what there was arose out of mis-
understanding which has been adjusted. The
changes suggested by the board were acqui-
esced in by the chief most heartily, and it is
to be hoped that whatever is done in the
future will be in the line of preserving and
increasing the efficiency and vigor of the
service The Journal was quick to oppose
whatever seemed like unfair party action and
we feel authorized to say to the people that
this important branch of the city government
win not be put in peril by action of the chief
or of the board.

CHANGES IN THE GAS ORDINANCE.

The article on the subject of natural gas,
in another column, was written hours before
the appearance of last nights News, and en-
tirely in advance of the specific information
contained in our city columns from Mr. Allen
NJ. Fletcher, of the indianapolis Natural-gas
Company. With nothing but its Imagination
to go on, the News specifies the changes to
be demanded in the ordinance. intimates
a dishonorable connection between the Capital
City and the Indianapolis companies. and then
proceeds to pump up public prejudice upon
its false premises. The Journal did not know
the News's article promptly sent representa-
tive to Mr.. Fletcher, asking him to plainly
and emphatically state just what his company
desires. But two changes are asked for-one
amount of extension that may be
demanded of the company in any
one year, and the other that where meters are
called for, the consumer shall either pay for
the meter or be required to use it for some de-
terminate period. Whether these two changes
shall be made is legitimate subject for dis
cussion, but we submit that it is high time to
stop the unqualified and apparently malicious
Misrepresentation and statements that are
being made with the purpose of pre-
venting the introduction of gas into

THE INTERNAL MACHINE.

The sending of an internal machine through
the mails to United States District Judge
Woods is startling incident The mere fact
that mysterious package had been received
by the Judge was stated in the Journal yes
terday, but in the absence of evidence as to
its dangerous character editorial comment
was withheld twas thought likely to be
stupid joke or an attempt by some crank to
create sensation. Investigation disrels this
theory and proves that the continuance was
dangerous and plainly designed to infict in
iuny. It's construction and contents are
described elsewhere. While they do not in
dictate experience or skill in the preparation
of such implements, they disclose beyond..any
doubt the felonious intent of the sender.
The continuance was so arranged as to
capable of inficting serious injury
and perhaps causing death. In the
abs ence of any clew as to the sender of the
machine, the field is open to conjecture as to
its origin and motive. 1t may have some
connection with the pending trial, or it may
not. Some enemy of the Judge may have
sent it at this time in order to give it the ap-
pearance of such connection. On this point
nothing is known. The main fact that such
an instrument was sent, and that fed
eral judge has probably had narrow escape
from serious injury, and possible death, at
the hands of an assassin, is sufficiently start
ling. 1t shows at least that we have lawless
that the welfare of the community depends
on all good citizens standing firmly together
for the enforcement of law and the punish
ment of crime.

THE New York Times said of Mr.. L

THE New York Times said of Mr.. Lamar:
"He has not the reputation of being very
learned in the law, even of possessing that
command Of its principles and its history that
makes Senator authority on questions of
the Constitution" 1t added further: 1.-The
associations by which he has been surrounded
may, without injustice and with entire re-
spect to him, be regarded as not fitting him,
if they do not distinctly unfit him, for the
work of Supreme Court justice at the pres
ent time and for the half score years which
he would have to serve" Nevertheless, with
all these acknowledged disqualifcations, the
Times has urged Lamars confirmation on
political reasons. The Times was once Re-
publican paper but, after the true renegade
fashion. its sole motive of action now seems
to be to injure the party it deserted. 1t fondly
labels this motive, however, political princi-
ule"

Mr.. LAMAR, the friend of the Immigrant
railroads and land rings, having been con-
frmed by the votes of the Pacific railroad
Senators, President Cleveland Yesterday COM
municated to Congress the long-delayed re-
ports of tbs Pacific railroad investigating
commission. It has been openly charged that
Mr.. Lamars nomination has been tied up
with this and other cognate questions, and
the action of Mr.. Lamar himself
and of the President give no little
color to the suspicion. And this
entirely Independent of the nature of the
Presidents recommendations with which he
accompanies the two reports. It is to be
noted, however, that he does not indorse the
Wholesale assault made by Mr.. Pattison, but
leans to the views of the majority report,
which is certainly a saner and more practical
BILE one than that of the impetuous reform

The extent of the suffering caused by the
recent terrible cold in the Northwest will
never be known. Even the deaths will not
all be reported; but aside from these very
large number of persons must have been par
TALLY frozen and crippled, while still larger
number have undergone great suffering. The
fact that the storm was the most severe on
record does not prove that equally as severe a
storm and intense cold may not occur again.
This consideration ought to make men hest
tate before exposing their families to the rig
ors of such a climate, but probably the warn
ing will soon be forgotten.

SOME CITY FEATURES.

The indications in the present Councils are
that we shall probably have something done to
give the public decent street railway faciIi-
ties Double-ended cars with conductors, and
with horses able to pull them, are the first and
most essential necessities. When these things
are provided, especially on the lines where
travel is heavy and remunerative, then we
may hope for the road-bed to be put into con-
dition, frst-class. rails laid, and old and
abandoned iron taken from the streets As it
is, the street-car system of Indianapolis is an
almost unmitigated disgrace. The public
streets are turned into stables; filth and offal
are permitted to lie in the roadways; travel is
impeded on Washington and Illinois streets,
and life and limb imperiled in the most con-
spicuous and thickly travelled portions of the
city. The nasty, steamy, sinking disease
breeding monstrosity and nuisance of trans
fer car is permitted to disfgure and interfere
with business on the principal street of the
city. In all directions the rails are above the
grade of the streets, damaging vehicles and
not infrequently causing serious accidents.
During the recent and present severe
weather the cars have been turned
into cattle and hog pens, as usual, while
the mules have been mercilessly
beaten and overworked On one day the
spectacle was observed of one of the poor
mules with the blood running down its sides
from the beatings it had been given by the
6riv in fo 10 iS dali
occurrence for people standing on the streets
to fail in arresting the attention of the
drivers, and thus lose the service the compa-
ny is under charter to render; while, after you
get on, there is no way of telling where to
alight without getting up and speaking to
the driver stepping to the rear and looking
out for yourself. It is high time these shame
full shortcomings were done away with, and
the street-car service put upon proper basis
for city of more than one hundred thousand
inhabitants.
And while we are about it, the Council
should at once do away with the expressmen's
livery stable on the Circle. A beautiful pas
toral scene it is to have the central park of
the city, of its most prominent places,
the thoroughfare to the State house and the
principal business street, surrounded with ex-
press wagons, with their necessary dirt and
debris and from two to half dozen log fires
blazing and smoking at which the drivers are
congregated, keeping warm and RECALLING
themselves with stories not always the fittest
for the ears of those who are liable to be as
sailed by them if they venture to cross the
park. These things ought to be remedied,
and remedied at once. The Councils cannot
act too promptly.

at Disgusting his chirography were apparent.
