For a year past, said Chauncey

tie and other live stock must he car
rieI forward and certain market
| trains cannot be abandoned. The
number Of men employed in the
Sunday traffic will be reduced by
| one-third.
The reason for this action is al
most pnrely religious. We expect
that it will improve the morals s'of
the men and give them more time
at home. It will be difficult. how
ever, to arrange It SO that freight
crews will be at home at the end Of
Saturdays run.
[ and nearly all the other presi
dents are in favor of the change
The most serious trouble is to ar
rangeit. We can't refuse to receive
freight from connecting roads. nol
can we afford to lose one days busi
ness in the week that wouldruin US.
The men will lose just one-seventl
OF their income, but they have re
peatedly said they did not want t.
work on Sundays. Now we vii
take them at their word. Perhap

THE Journal is authorized to say that
Washington dispatches relative to the
alleged i'll feeling between the President
and Mr.. John c. New. or on the part of
the latter toward the former, growing out
of the distribution of offices, or any 9TH
er cause, are utterly unfOunded and ma
liciously false. Mr.. New has not been
interviewed since his sojourn in
Washington, and the statements pub
lished by a few papers, purpOrting to
have been made by him, are authorita-
lively repudiated. 1t is incOnceivable
how such statements can originate in any
other motive than desire to falsify and
create i'll feeling where none exists. Mr..

dent have suffered no interruption and
are not likely to.

1T was characteristic of the Marion
county delegation in the late Legislature
that while its members were caucusing
day and night to secure the enactment
of political legislation and measures of
doubtful constitutionalIty, they did not
even introduce the bill providing for a
vehicle tax and other special taxes i'm
peratively demanded by the condition of
the city revenues. The justice and ne
cessity of the measure were universally
conceded, and twas supposed, as mat
ter of course, it would be passed. A bill
was drafted embracing the matters re-
ferred to and was placed in the hands of
one of the Marion county members, but
it was not even introduced. The delega-
ton was wholly intent on political legis-
lation and Office grabbing.

Some of the newspapers that led the
Democratic party into the ditch Of defeat
seem to be disappointed at the conservative
tone and national sentiments of President
Harrisons inaugural. They expected him
to be bitterly partisan and sectional, and
because he has been patriotic and national
they are disappointed. AS Democrats and
Southerners, we are agreeably surprised
and pleased with the moderate, dignifed
and statesmanlike address of President
Harrison.
The South needs protection for her de-
velopment. She needs government appro-
priations for internal improvements-to
improve the navigation of her rivers and
harbors for waterways between the lakes

of Notifications along her defenseless coast;

THERE are indications that the
dressed-beef law passed by the recent
Legislature will be among the earliest
acts tested in the courts, and will prob
ably be held unconstitutional. The law
is aimed at outside dealers in dressed
beef, and it's object is to prevent the I'M
portatiOn and sale in this State of beef
slaughtered in other States, as at Chi
cagO or ST. Louis. To accomplish this it
requires that ali cattle must be inspect
ed before killing in the place where sold,
thus virtually prohibiting the importa-
ton of dressed meat. In so far as it does
this, it is in conflict with the principles
of interstate commerce guaranteed by
the Constitution of the United States.
The States of Illinois and Missouri have
good inspection laws, and cattle killed
in those States are carefully inspected
before being killed. Being, therefore, a
merchantable commodity and article of
commerce, it is very doubtful if another
State can enact discriminating disabili-
ties against it in favor of its own live

The President and supreme Court Judges.


When the judges of the Supreme Court
made their first formal call upon Mr.. Cleve-

rather stiff, because the President was not
personally acquainted with any of the
members. 1t was entirely different the
other day, when the first call was made
upon the present executive. During his
service in the Senate Mr.. Harrison made
the personal acquaintance of all the
members of the court, and he knew Chief
justice Fuller before the latter was called
to the bench. After shaking hands with
the justices, the President inquired after
the health of Mr.. Justice Matthews, and
expressed his wish for his speedy return to
health. He then, bowling TO all of them.

THE evident PURPOSE Of the State n

THE evident purpose of the State Board
of Charities is to secure a secretary who
will practically be the board so far as the
actual work of supervision and investiga-
ton is concerned. This is all very we'll,
provided they get the proper person. The
opinion is expressed that some of the duties
are such as lady could not well perform.
but with equal reason it might be urged
that there are some which could not be
well done by man. 1t is not at all likely,
however, that the board will employ two
