Wants Free Trade in Hoosier Fish.

To the Editor o. the Indianapolis Journal:
1--WE have secured over one hundred con-
victions of violations of the fish law"
These are the words of Fish Commissioner
Dennis. and want to write of fish matters
little from workingman's stand point
Why is it necessary to arrest poor people
for catching fish and what makes it neces-
sary for men to use dynamite to catch O
few little suckersi The reason is that the
streams of this country, which should run
free for all. have been choked up with dams
and the free passage, or any passage at all.
of fish has been stopped entirely.
A few old mills. run by water three months
in the year. have been chartered by the
powers of this State to monopolize the
entire benefits of the rivers. Mr.. Dennis
says one acre of water is of more value as q
food-producer than an acre of titled ground.
/ would suggest that computation of what
would be valuable acres of water be made.
and see If the benefits in one year would
not be sufficient to. buy outright every
water-power between here and the Wabash
river. These acres of water should be sup
piled with fish from the great streams that
connect indianapolis direct with the Gulf
of Mexico. Remove the dams. and no one
would need to use dynamite to kill smokers.
Anyone could then seine. or net, or trap fish
to their hearts content: the supply would
not be diminished, and no poor devil,
whether sick, lame or lazy, need be fined
because he caught mess of fish. The idea
that we sit down and authorize three or
four men to mOnopolize the use of White
river. get nothing for it, and then
tax ourselves to hatch and distrIb-
ute q fish supply which. at the
best. does not amount to much-the
lawsuits and trouble to protect them-the
cost of maintaining the Fish Commission,
and the fines collected from the poor peO-
pie. to say nothing of the wasted profanity
lis all wrong from start to finish. and your
correspondent is now circulating a petition
to the Legislature to revoke the charter of
every dam in tho State. / hope to secure
$4,000 signers in this city alone. If we agi-
tate this question and call the attention of
the mass of the people TO it they will set
the seal of condemnation OF. q system that
in this age Of steam and electricity is no
longer necessary. but. on the oDtrary, ia a
damage and drawback on the interest of
half the people of great State. Give us
protection on foreign, but free trade in
HOosier suckers. MECHANIC.

The Supreme Court appointment.

TO the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The editor of the News makes fine point
when he speaks of the opportunity of the
Governor to recognize the will of the ma
jority in the appointment of Judge to fill
Mitchelps place. The Democratic majority
in the Leg islature four years ago had the
same opportunity. but they picked flaw
in the organic laws of the State to defeat it,
and under the organic laws of the State
they lose tins judge. 1t the Democratic
party had set the example the Governor
might have followed il. Although / agree
with the editor of the News that the es-
sence of law is justice, and the essence of a
republic is the will of the majority. still
think he would be considered public ben
efactor if he could invent q process that
would readily obtain these essences from
the politics Of the present day.
A FRIEND OF JUSTICE.

was arrested by patrolmen Corrigan and
Stevens. last night, on charge of loiter-
ing and insulting woman. Hewas stand
ing on the corner of Alabama and Wash
ington streets, begging money of passers-
by. He had one foot in a shawl. and stood
on crutches. His apparent pitiful condi-
tion excited the sympathy of lady. from
whom he solicited quarter. but she told
him she had no money with her. He then
grossly insuited her. The officers hap
pened to be near. and the man was quickly
under lock and key.

The Bid Had to Be Raised Before the Sale
of the Car-Works Was Confirmed.
Judge Taylor refused yesterday to con-
firm the sale of the plant of the Indianap-
oils Car and Manufacturing Company TO
E. Pollock, trustee, for S52.5O0. and he I'M
mediately raised his bid to $4,000. His
offer was accepted and the sale confirmed.
The creditors. who purchased the plant.
are the Roane Iron Company. Chattanooga.
Tenn; Rogers. Brown e. Co.. Cincinnati;
Block & Pollock Iron Company. Cincin-
natl: Bar Foundry and Machine works
Company, Fort Wayne, and the Central
Iron and Steel Company of Brazil. They
represent S3,000,0 900 capital, it is said, and
will operate the new plant as soon as the
company can be Incorporated.
A great deal of objection Is made to the
price that was accepted by Judge Taylor
for the plant. Smiley N. Chambers. repre-
senting the Westinghouse Air-brake Com
Bank. of Stevenson. Wis, and creditors
of the car company. asserts that the price is
totally inadequate to the value of the plant.
Its appraised value is S166.000," he said
yesterday to q reporter, land the price paid
is So OOO less than one-half The sale was
made at an inopportune time of the year
and at an inopportune time in finances.
it being the close of the year, with great
scarcity of money. There is every indica-
ton of improvement In financial circles,
and few days or weeks delay would have
carried the sale over holidays. 1t seems IN
this could not have materially affected the
value of the plant. We have taken excep-
tions to the order and confirmation of the
sale ~
