NOT A NATTER OF SENTIMENT.



At the Bates House, last night, was a
guest who is representing the Union Pacific
railway. with headquarters in Chicago. In
talking with a Journal reporter concerning
the attitude which the railroads ave
taken toward the Grand Army encamp-
ment. he insisted upon his name being kept
out of print. On the subject, however, he
had this to say: although my road is
not mixed up in this affair, l have
watched it rather closely since the 1-cent
rate was agitated. After all, there are some
things that can be said in behalf of the
railroads that are refusing to make the con-
cession. There is positively no way to de-
termine where to draw the line in giving
cut rates. As soon. for example, as a re-
ductiOn is given to the Grand Army,
along comes another convention or
public meeting, and the delegates in
variably demand a rate that has been
established by precedent. 1t is impossible
to convince them that there was any rea-
son why in the one case a rate should be
given and in another refused. / am a
strong Republican, and always glad to
show a favor to the men who saved this
country during the civil war. And yet, l
rather question whether that is sufficient
ground on which to make concessions to
them which we must refuse Others. From
that standpoint a veteran Is no less &C
countable for the regulation price for rail-
way transportation than any other citizen.
1t is simply a matter of business, and not
of sentiment, as is charged by some"

The Wheat Yield as a New York Buyer Thinks
1t Will Be iii This and Other States.

Edward Bailey, of the New York Board
of Trade. was at the Bates last night, but it
was some time before he could be induced
to even exchange the greetings of the day
with the reporter. II took a VOW a little
more than a year ago." he said, that
would never have anything to do with a
newspaper man, and / have broken it but a
few times. This disposition to avoid re-
porters was on account of an in
terview with me published i'm one
of the Minneapolis papers, i'm which |
was quoted as having very severely criti-
When / met the reporter l did say some
things that We're pretty strong. but they
were true. Well. when / was in Minneap-
oils. soon after that, and went on Change,
], did not know but what / would be
skinned alive. Fortunately, after coming
from 'Change, a peddler of oranges passed
by just while l was in the midst of nv
trouble with a number of my critics. and I
bought him out, telling everybody TO help
himself. Everything after that went along
smooth, But L never forgave that re-
porter"
you are in Indiana on an inspecting
tour OF her crops, are o nOt?O
Yes, partially for that purpose. / am
particularly interested in wheat. and as a
large share of the grain we handle comes
from this State | always make an annual
trip through Indiana FARMS"
How have you found the outlook this
year as compared with former yields?,
Very good. ~indeed-that is. taking the
State generally. In central Indiana the
wheat yield will not be SO good. and. in
fact, in some localities almost worthless:
but in the northern and southern portions
of the State, especially the latter, [ do not
think l have ever seen samples of wheat
that pleased me better, both for quality
and quantity. The wheat that we get in
New York from your State is always first
class. and l think the prospect this year is
as good as any that has ever been depended
upon heretofore"
"How is the yield elsewhere compared
with that in Indiana?n
well. all through southern Illinois. In
diana Ant down into Kentucky the crops
will be good. Elsewhere it is equally good.
You must remember that the United States
has a big export to furnish this year. Our
latest news from Russia is that the entire
wheat crop has failed. and there is already
talk of depending on the crop in India.
This will make a broad gap somewhere along
the line. and to fill it we will have to send
over an unusually large amount of bread
stuffs. While i do not want to appear ex-
ultant over another country's failure in
crops. yet l am glad we will have an oppor-
tunity to show what we can do in the way
of Agriculture"

THE BROAD RIPPLE PLANT.
Mr.. Westcott Proposes to Let Othef Capital
lists Invest in that Gas Property.

The sale of the Broad Ripple Natural-gas
Company's entire plant will take place at
the south entrance of the courthouse at 10
o'clock this morning. 1t is appraised at a
cash value of Sl35,o00. and up to date claims
amounting to 1896, 600 have been filed. By
a recent decision of Judge Howe. the J. w.
Wescott mortgage of S125,OO0 will be con-
sidered as a valid lien on the plant, and
considerable speculation is a1oat regarding
WescOtt claim. The property Will be bought
by others, and tits thought by many that
such a disposition of the plant will come out
of the fact that the majority of the smaller
claimants will combine to make a solid bid.
$1,000 to $4,000, and all such have united to
make the purchase. Judge Howe yesterday
allowed the $1,000 claim of DIR. Light. which
he has had under advisement for several
days.
Mr. Wescott was at the New Denison
last night, having been called here as a
witness in the legal proceedings in which
the company is involved. He will attend
the sale, and to a Journal reporter spoke
very decisively in regard to the course he
he said, "a bidder, nor shall / be. There
have been rumors afioat that l would prob
ably bid for the plant, but you can say
positively, as coming directly from me-,
trustee bid in my behalf. / Inn out of
it all now. with the exception of the mort
gage which 1 hold" 49,.
What is your reason for not biddingF'
Simply because | rave not the slightest
desire to possess the plant. The cause of
the company's present condition.. briefly
stated, is the lack of funds to sink more
wells and an insufficient supply of active
wells on hand. If / were to buythe plant,
it would take $4,000 cash,dOwn to put it
In anything like running order, and the

the S75, 900, but / would be compelled to
devote a large amount of my time to the
business, which l could not spare. / do not
care to be at the head of q corporation,
any way. There Is a prevailing sentiment
nowadays that a corporation has no soul
and that the public has an inherent right
to take every advantage possible against
them. Why, even before courts and juries,
a corporation has but little show"
Have you any idea as to what DISPOSE
ton will be made of the plant7"
No; 1 have not. / understand some of
the heavier claimants contemplate pooling
their interests and buying it. But, beyond
what / have seen in the papers, / know
nothing of any arrangements that have

three inches. Five men were then piled up
on the chair-the heaviest PIG pounds, and
all the Others over 16O-and when she laid
her hands on the big mans ears the chair
jumped up again. She stood on one foot
and let a billiard cue rest in her hands
without grasping it, and one, two and three
men could not push her over. The COM

their muscular power, was over 400 pounds.

The Western Union Overreached Itself.

Boston Transcript.
.Postmaster-general Wanamaker has a
strong case in his controversy with the
Western Union Telegraph. as we suspected.
The press has been paying only half a cent
a word for messages TO different parts of the
country, while the government has been
charged 2l2 cents q word for messages to
the same points, but this has been going on
twenty-three years. The Western Union
procured the passage of the law of July "a,
1866, which conferred upon the Postmaster
general the absolute right to decide what
graph companies accepting the government
concessions over the Immigrant railroads.
1t appears that the telegraph has hereto,
fore fixed the rates over the routes referred
to above, and now the Postmaster-general
proposes to exercise the power vested in
him by law to say what compensation shall
be paid by the government.
