correspondents of the Cincinnati Enquirer,
are bitter partisan Republicans, and their
productions are in accord with their political
opinions-hence their abuse of the President
and laudations of Blaine. Democrats taking

The train records show that in the week end
inc April % 5Is more loaded cara were received
and forwarded at Indianapolis than in the week
preceding. and Judging from the inquiry for
the present week will show still further
Improvements When the business OF last week
is compared with that of 1887 and 1886 the ex-
hibit is certainly gratifying In the coming
month q largely increased movement of grain,
provisions, lumber and live stock is looked Tor.
The movement of these classes or freight In tho
month of April has been disappointing IN vol

has been for thirty days past rms denciency
haa been felt quite seriously in the east-bound
Tonnage but there in feeling among freight
men that the hardest places Of the year have
been brIdged over. and that from now on earn
incs on east-bound business will be more satig-
factory. 1t is highly complimentary to freight
agents that during the light trafh c, when
temptations TO cut rates gre at tariff
rates have been well maintained West
bound tonnage continues handsomely in excess
Of last year. In Ave years the increase has been
July 100 per cent. A still mora marked i'm
proyement II looked for In coming years, as the
time Of freighis is Quickened over the midland
routes. Dry goods, agricultural implements
and furniture continue TO be the most important
shipments westward. North-and-south roads are
doing q good business. There is fair tonnage
Of grain and provisions going south, and ship
ments OF railway supplies are on the increase
The South is sending its productions TO the
Northern markets in large quantities. The ex-
press freight trains which bring early
vegetables are doing a good business.

making leaves but little room for the express
som anies TO improve 1T Local traffic the
last few days has increased handsomely. At
the city freight depots old-time activity is no.

of rates, which usually mean reductions, the
revenue from business does not increase in pro-

diers in favor of reopening the arrears of PEN

himself, at least. the writer desires to enter
protest against a scheme that was the trick of
demagogus in the frss place, and that is unfair
to the old soldiers as body, and its advocates
only retard the granting Of pensions to thou
sands OF others equally worthy as those
clamoring for measure that might give one
man in hundred fortune, but to the mass
of the old soldiers nothing. And the
who agrees TO favor 1t on the
stump this year does 1t for buncombe and to de-
ceive the soldier. AZ rule, nearly all the wound
ed men are now the pension rolls, some at
fair rates, others not enough. What we want is
a liberal. Just law that will wipe out the out

some hocus pocus known only to those stnsice
the system gives to one disabled or wounded
50 to 81 month. and To another $50, for
the same disability. Ii would be very nice, in
deed, if the government could pay each and
every soldier from s., 900 to SIS, 600 each under
such law. but the time has passed for the Gu
