LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
The State Committee Chairmanship.


To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Permit me to suggest for chairman of the
State central committee, vice Huston, re-
signed, Joseph /. Irwin, of Columbus. No
man in the State is more familiar with the
needs of the hour. No man possesses in a
higher order executive ability. None who
come nearer being born leader of men.
He went to Columbus over forty years ago
with a capital of fifty cents. To-day he is
one of the heavy Taxpayers of the State.
His personal experience covers every phase
of our life from actual poverty to wealth.
He is the devoted friend of the
American industrial system. No la
Dor industry ever located in
Columbus that did not receive material
aid and real encouragementaf from him. He
never engages in anything that does not
succeed, because to an unusually clear and
level head he adds "a tireless energy. If he
can be prevailed upon to accept this place,
he will organize and secure for our party a
victory on both State and legislative tick
cts next year. Let us choose men of exper-
ience for counselors and leaders, and then
urge upon the young and middle-aged men
the duty of carrying into execution their
plans. j. b. CHEADLE.

Judge Cooley of the Interstste-commer

this road. The information will he laid
before the United States grand jury next
October. The principal charge Is made on
the consignment of 800 gallons of alcohol

state at present"
Concerning the dispute between the rail-
roads and the G. A. X. men on the matter of
rates to the National Encampment at Mil
waukee, General Passenger Agent Wilson.
of the Northwestern, himself q veteran sol
dier, said that the company had gone to
great expense in providing accommoda-
tions, even hiring line of steamers to
convey those they will not be able to carry
by rail, and as nine out of ten
cars will have to be hauled each
way empty, he thinks the road
entitled to at least half fare, especially in
view of the fact that they have but an
eighty-mile haul. General McNulta, late
says on the same subject: THE Grand
Army is practically the military reserve of
the country, and on principle believe it
should be given the same rate as the mill
tary. General managers of the principal
Chicago roads agree with me that a rate of
a cent q mile should be made to Grand
There is no reason for using this rate as a
precedent for political conventions,
etc. When the Milwaukee roads
agreed to put in the one-fare rate at
the instance of the Milwaukee committee
/ think that ought to have ended the OBJ
| jections, as the whole matter had been
| turned over to the committee. If the en-
have no doubt cent-a-mle rate could
| have been obtained. The mistake was in
| locating it where perhaps 20 per cent. of
| the traffic must 60 over two lines, which
| will be crowded to the utmost, and which,
| on account of the short haul. cannot make
| the cent-a-mile rate without serious loss.
| If the encampment is to be held in Milwau-
| kee, then every body should in good faith,
| try. to carry out the arrangements and
make the affair q success"

German-Americans.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
By the German element" of the Ameri-
can people those inhabitants of the United
States are meant who were born in Ger
many and speak German as their mother
tongue. On the whole, the Germans i'm the
United States are law-abiding, well-be-
having and industrious people, who largely
help to develop the resources and to pro-
mote the prosperity of this country. They
speak German among themselves because il
is their vernacular and easiest to them; but
they also learn English as well and as fast
as possible.
The German nation in Europe, from which
they have come, is no more responsible for
the diversity of languages than the English
nation, whose tongue is, and forever will
be, the legal language of this country.
Moreover, the German nation, from which
they have come, is morally, socially and in
tellectually as highly civilized and edu-
Gated and has as rich and noble a litera-
ture as any other nation in the world.
Aside from our own American Nation, the
English, French and German nations of
Europe stand abreast in the front rank of
civilization. They do not stand behind
each other as to civilization.
From these facts it will be seen that the
Germans of this country, for having re-
ceived u good schooling in Germany, are as
good and intelligent citizens as any in the
land The majority or them are skilled
mechanics or practical farmers, and do not
particularly care to hold public Office. Yet
they are as patriotic and as faithful in the
performance of their public duties as their
Anglo American fellow-citizens. and have
chiefly proved this by their large represen-
tation in the Union army during our
American civil war.
Many Germans in America oppose Sun
day laws as violating the Constitution of
the United States. They claim to be en-
titled to full social freedom also on the
first day of the week, under the funda-
mental law referred to, granting and guar
anteeing full and absolute religious free
dom and freedom of conscience to the
American people.
Many Germans in America decently and
sensibly drink wine and beer, to be physic-
ally benefited thereby. They oppose pro-
hibitory laws as not being in harmony with
common sense. and as violating the prin-
ciDles of the Declaration of Independence
The Indianapolis journal., 1889-07-17

of the United States, distinctly and ex--
pressly recognizing the natural, inherent
and inalienable rights of man. They also
claim that such laws violate the personal
or individual liberty granted and guaran-
teed to the American people by our Amerl-
can Constitution.
The Germans of this country think that
life has not only its business side, but also
a social side, deserving to be cultivated.
This is the reason of the numerous German
shooting societies (Schuetzenvereine), Ger
man gymnastic societies (Turnvereinel, and
German vocal societies (Gesangvereine) IN
the United States. These societies frequent
ly hold festivals, sometimes on large
scale on which occasions wine and beer are
the principal social drinks. Such festivals
always are creditable. and in many cases
brilliant affairs. JOHN GEO. HERTwIG.

One thing is certain, however. and that is,
the plans for the deal are about perfected,

Haymaking in Finland.

a curious way OF making hay is vc:y
generally adopted by The Fins Poor
mon who own no meadows have loar
been accustomed TO cut what grass thcy
can find in the forest glalcs and olhcr
waste lands. Owing to the lack Of
roads and farmstcads the hay was
stuffed among the branches of neighbour
Ing trees TO await the winter frost and
snow, when it could easily be carried
oil by slcdgcs. After wet season
some farmers noticed that this was
actually better in quality than that
which they themselves had made from
much better grass. The wild crop, so
to call it, had dried much better in the
tree branches exposed 20 Il free circu!a-
ton OF mir than the r.ch hcrbagc which
had laid long on the sodlcn ground
Hence il occurred TO them TO make
temporary trees upon which their own
crops might be dried.
This experiment was attended by such
success that the plan has been widely
initiated, aad bids fair entirely to sup
plant the oldiashioncd methods. After
the moving is done II number of poles
about ten feet in length, and provided
with long transverse pegs, are set up nj
intervals and the grass is loosely hcapcd
upon them. The result is said to be
excellent. Even in wet weather only
small portion forming the outside of
the pile is discolorcd, while the inner
portions, exposed to the air beneath and
protected from the rain above, arc dried
In perfect con lition. Moving can be
carried on in spite OF wind and rain, and
when once the grass is placed upon the
drying poles it may be left without fear
OF serious damage until The weather
changes. -arrf Lqne Erprss
