TIE BROAD RIPPLE FRANCHISE.

The contract with the Broad Ripple
company now pending before the COun-
Gil may not be perfect, but it is vastly
better for the city than it has ever made
before in disposing of any franchise.
The franchise of the Citizens company
was given for nothing. as have been all
other franchises relating to light. water.
natural gas, telegraph and telephone
lines. 1t is a new thing III the history
of municipal affairs FOR the city to at
tempt to get any substantial return for
franchise involving the use of its
streets.
The proposed route of the Broad Rip
pie line is from Washington street
north on Delaware to New York. thence
east to East street, thence north to
Cherry street, thence east to Belle
fontaine street, thence north to Fiji
teenth street, thence west to Central
avenue, thence north to the corporation
line. The company's route is confined
by the ordinance tn these streets, and it
could not occupy any others. 1t would
be impossible, by consolidation or any
other process, to make its twenty-year
charter embrace the streets now covered
by tho Citizens company.
For the privilege of using the streets
above named the company binds itself
to furnish first-class electric service. in

TO-DAY'S CONVENTION.

The Republican State convention
meets under most favorable auspices.
Harmony, which is always essential to
party success, is assured. Regarding the
essentialten of party faith, there never
was SO general and so hearty accord.
The work of Republican Congress and
the policy of a Republican administra-
ton, with an Indiana President. have
been justified by experience and have
met the general approval of the country.
The varied industries of the country
were never in a more hopeful condition.
This result is largely due to that policy
which has stimulated varied industry in
this country, maintained a scale of
wages that has made all wage
earners large consumers of the
products of industry and kept the
foreign trade balance so largely in our
favor that money which was once sent
abroad to pay for merchandise is now
retained at home and invested as capital.
Every conspicuous feature of the leeis-
lation of the Republican Congress has
already borne witness to the wisdom of
those who formulated it, while the gen.
proved and its high character is admit
ted by its candid and intelligent foes.
Never did the Republican party occupy
so favorable a position; never did n
member of the Republican party have
more abundant justification for his adj
herence to it.
On the other hand, there was never
more cause to distrust the spirit and
purpose of the Democracy, which have
not changed since in Indiana the leaders
secretly organized to aid those fighting
to destroy the Republic. Those leaders
were never more distracted than now.
If the policy of its majority in Congress
were carried out, half the industries of
the country would be bankrupted or
closed within q year, and financial
panic, such as this generation never
knew. would sweep the country. To-
day one faction of the Democracy in the
State, which is essential to its success
and which furnishes it's presidential cam
didates, is engaged in accusing the other
of all sorts of political infamy. In In
diana, q gerrymander Legislature,
stupid beyond precedent, has imposed
tax law upon the people which has add
ed go per cent. to their burdens, demon
strating that the Democratic party is
incapable of meeting the progressive
demands of State that possesses all
the elements to make it among the first
in the Nation.
In view of these facts to-day's con-
vention will not have risen to it's high
privilege if such spirit does not per-
wade its proceedings as will cause every
delegate to carry to his home a larger
faith in the supreme necessity of Re-
publican ascendency and an inspiration
which will be felt in renewed effort and
purpose in the remotest precinct of In

ONE OF DEPEW's MISTAKES.

Mr.. Chauncey M. Depew is quoted IA
saying that the way to get the most en-
joyment out of existence is by assOciat-
ing with persons who see the most
of life. The first in this class, he says,
are actors; the second, newspaper re-
porters. If Chauncey really said this
he is "away off" as to actors. Theat-
rical people go about the world n great
deal, but, more than any other class of
persons, they mingle with their own
kind. They travel in parties, they stop
at hotels in parties, dine together, go
about together and associate with each
other constantly, on and of the stage.
Save in exceptional cases, they meet few
people in the towns they visit who are
not directly or indirectly connected
with their profession. Between sea-
sons they are engaged in study
OF in haunting dramatic headquar-
ters in search of engagements, and
are absorbed in the interests of
their own calling. They live in a world
of their own, aud though they may be
cuJCA ouo W tuOcO
who enjoy the privilege of their ac-
Quaintance, this ngreeableness is not
due to their contact with all classes of
people, as Mr.. Depew seems to think.
Newspaper reporters do rub up against
everyb body. first and last. in the course
of their business, and though the ex-
perience is apt to make them cynical,
usually in good-natured way, it also
makes them tolerant towards the weak
uesses of their fellow creatures and rids
them of unjust prejudices. 1t is this
breadth of experience and dspassiOnate
attitude toward the events of life that
renders their society congenial to men
of liberal thought like Mr.. Depew, but
he should not make the mistake of char
acterizing their attractions and acquire
ments as similar to those of theatrical
people.

THE CZAR OF ALL GEARS.

1t was announced by those who fought
the rules of the last House and hurled
epithets at the then Speaker Reed that
W hen the Democratic House should
come in the constitutional rights of ev-
cry member would be protected and the
privilege of every member to free his
mind to the utmost would be secured.
For weeks the committee of the Demo-
cratic House worked over a code of rules
which that House subsequently adopt
ed. 1t was pointed out by Republicans
that the most important feature of these
rules put the House under control of
the committee on rules. But no heed
was given to the warning. Imagine the
surprise of the House, then. hen, on
Monday, as soon as the blind chap
lain had said his last word, the
Speaker recognized Mr.. Catchings, of
the committee on rules, to present
resolution assigning time for
consideration of the Bland silver bill.
This is the Fifty-second Congress. but
never before during the one hundred
and two sessions of that body had the
Speaker failed. when the services OF the
chaplain had been concluded. TO an

MRS. osBoREE's PITIpUL CASE.

The case of Mrs. Osborne is certainly
stranger than fiction, for 1t will hardly
be disputed that if story of her ex.
periences had first been made public in
the form of a novel the plot wonld have
been condemned as wildly improbable.
Young, refined, intelligent. and moving
in the best society, she yielded to the
temptation that often comes with the
need of money and the means. unlawful
though they be, of obtaining it. Many
a man has succumbed in such a situa-
ton and embezzled money belonging to
monds from her friend at whose house
she was visiting. nd sold them. The
gems being heirlOOms and very
valuable, the search for them was
unremitting, and suspicion soon pointed
to the guilty woman. She denied all
knowledge of the matter, and, in her
desperation, and urged by the advice of
the man she was about to marry, she
brought suit for SANDER against her ac-
cusers, hoping, doubtless, that they
would be unable to prove their charges
and that she might preserve her integ-
rity in the mind of her husband. The
foolish creature found herself, on the
contrary, in tangle from which she
could not escape. The sale of the dia-
monds was traced directly to her, and
in her terror at the prospect of pun
ishment and dread of losing the
love and respect of the man
she had married, after the trial
had begun, sho peTjured her
self in final effort to escape. The
theft itself would have been cOndoned.
the friends whom she had injured hav-
ing no desire to prosecute her, but the
law was obliged to take cognizance of
the perjury, and because of that she is
sentenced to nine months Imprisonment
at hard labor. Doubtless many women,
who, like her, were more weak than
wicked, have been punished even more
severely for smaller attractions of the
law and have had little sympathy, but
the prominence of this affair. the youth
and beauty of the prisoner. the shame
and misery she manifests, and, above
all. the manly loyalty of her husband
through all her disgrace, have made
Mrs. Osborne's case noted one, and
have brought general expressions of
pity for her. It seems probable that in
an American court some way would
have been found to let the poor creature
go free. Certainly she would have done
SO had her fate depended upon an Amer
lean jury. AS 1t is, the popular senti-
ment in her behalf will probably bring
about her release before the end of her
term.

AN UNREASONABLE PROTEST.

Mr.. r. T. Mcdonald. of Fort Wayne,
defeated candidate for delegate to the
Republican national convention, has ap-
pealed to the chairman of the national
Republican committee for new deal.
His appeal, addressed to Hon. j. s.
Ciarkson, is rs follows:
The convention to elect delegates to the
national convention. held in this congress-
iOnal district yesterday, was without iuris-
dictiOn on account of unfair aDportlOn-
ment. The delegates declared elected did
not have majority of tie votes of the
convention. The whole proceedings were
dominated by a tyrannical office n old ers'
machine. propose to test the validity of
the election of the delegates and the valid
ity of the convention. L cannot get fair
decision from the Indiana State commit
tee, anu want the national committee to
investigate the subject and have new
convention ordered held in this district,
so as to give the Repu blicans n fair repre-
sentatlOn and a fair election of delegates.
i desire to know from you how to proceed
In order TO bring the matter properly under
your jurisdiction.
OK course it would be entirely unprece-
denied for the chairman of the national
committee to interfere in such matter
of local politics, even if the ground for
interference were very much stronger
than it is. If Mr.. Clarkson replies to
the foregoing appeal it will. doubtless,
be to inform the appellant that the Re-
publican State central committee of In.
diana is the proper authority to decide
all matters relating to the local Organi-
cation of the party.
Mr.. McDonald's grievance. which
seems to be making other Republicans
in Fort Wayne unhappy besides himself.
is that he was defeated as delegate for
the national convention. He wanted to
go there as an anti-HarrisOn man, and
quite number of Allen county Repub-
licans had set their hearts on having
him go. The other counties in the dis
trict preferred another man, an out
spoken Harrison man, and elected him.
BY all the rules of politics this should
have been the end of it. No honest way
has ever yet been found for minority
to Out-vOte majority, and our Fort
Wayne friends would have to hold a
good many conventions before they
WOulu Hnu suCh why. He dCtiOu VI
the Allen county delegates in boiling
the convention because they could not
control it was contrary to all the rules of
politics, and childish in the extreme.
The Fort Wayne Gazette. speaking
for tho malcontents, attempts to place
their grievance on higher grounds than
Mr.. McDonald's defeat. 1t says Allen
county was deprived of her proper ap-
portionment aud representation in the
convention, and that the convention
itself was packed by federal office
holders. AS to the first charge. it is
enough to say that the representation
of Allen county was fixed. just as that
of every other county in the district and
State was. by the State central commit
tee on the vote of 1890. The Fort
Wayne malcontents claim that the basis
should nave been the vote of 1888. be-
cause in 1890 about two Thousand Allen

county Republicans stayed away from
the polls. This ID humiliating con-
fession and does not speak very well
for the quality of Allen county Repub-
licanism, but it is enough to say that
the State central committee chose TO
take the vote of 1890 as the basis of
representation, and this applied to
every other county in the State
as well as to Allen. 1t is claimed
that thereby Allen lost twenty dele
gates to which she would have been en-
titled under the vote of 1888. Suppose
she did; every other county in the dis
trict lost some delegates, as did very
many counties in the State. Wayne
county lost thirteen. but Wayne county
Republicans did not kick. They are not
of the kicking kind. If the other coun-
ties in the district had been given their
increased representation on the basis of
1888, as claimed by Allen county, Mr..
McDOnald's election would still have
beenimpossible. Finally, the delegates
elect are stanch Republicans of the best
type, the peers of Mr.. Mcdonald in
every respect, with the added recon-
mendation that they represent the senti-
ment of the Republican party of Indiana
in favoring the denomination of Presi-
dent Harrison. They were elected by a
decided majority of the votes in the
convention on the basis fixed by the
State central committee, and there is
absolutely no ground whatever to ques-
ton the regularity of their election.
The charge that the convention was
packed by federal office-holders is ex-
ceedingly silly. 1t is not charged that
there wero otiice-holders in the conven-
ton as delegates, but that they used
their influence to have Harrison dele
gates elected. That is quite likely, and
it would be very strange if they had
not; but it sounds very strange to hear
Republicans complaining of it. That
complaint ought to come, if at all, from
Democrats. But the idea that the Office
holders controlled the convention
or it's action is absurd. Fed
eral Office-holders form very
small part of the voting masses or
even of the working politicians. Their
influence Is always greatly exaggerated.
In this as in all the other States it is the
people who control local politics,
and not the office-holders. The
masses of the Republicans of
Indiana outside of Ot1ice-holders
are overwhelmingly in favor of the
denomination of President Harrison, as
has been abundantly demonstrated dur
ing the last few weeks. In all the con-
ventions that have been held Allen
county enjoys alone the unenviable dis
tinction of trying to foment and perpet-
uate opposition to an Indiana President.
In ninety-one ont of ninety-two cOun-
ties the Republicans are practically
unanimous for the denomination of Har-
rison. 1t is time for the Republicans Of
Allen county to fall in line and join all
hands round for an old fashioned Re-
publican victory. If it is true. as assert
ed, that two thousand of them contrib
uted to Republican defeat in 1890 by not
voting, they owe it to themselves and
the party to make special efforts to re-
deem the State in 1892.

pay for paving between its rails and for
eighteen inches outside thereof; to keep
this portion of the street pavements in
good repair; to carry passengers from
Washington streetto Broad Ripple or any
part of that distance for cents, and to
pay tho city 2l2 per cent. quarterly of
its gross receipts for the first five years
and per cent. quarterly on such gross
receipts for the next fifteen years, the
term "gross receipts" including all re-
ceipts from passenger fares from what
ever source. There is provision in
the contract for keeping a record by
automatic registers of the amount or
number of fares collected and for q
monthly statement thereof.
AS before stated, this contract is so
much better than any other the city has
ever made that it may be called an ex-
cellent one. At all events, it is not q
one-sided contract. By it the city Sc
cures, in addition to the guaranty of
frst-class electric service, the paving of
n considerable part of the streets ira
versed and the payment of considera-
BILE sum as percentage on the gross re-
ceipts of the road. This might not
amount to much at first. but in the
course Of few years, probably by the
time the 5-per-cent. payment began, it
would amount to considerable.
The Journal believes that the public
interests demand prompt and favorable
action on this contract by the City Coun-
Gil. and that public sentiment strongly
favors it. 1t has already been accepted
by the company and only awaits the APP
prevail of the Council to become binding.
It's acceptance would have the double
effect of securing q competing electric
line with an important increase of serv-
ice within the city limits, and also
suburban line, which would contribute
materially to the growth of the city
along it's route. A note from the COM
pany to the Council says:
Your attention is called to the fact that
the Marion county franchise granted for
the Broad Ripple etreet-rallway requires
the deposit OF a certified check Tor Sl0,OOJ
by March %. 1892, accompanied by con-
uacS Win Icrpohsioio Pai.ioS III tno Gun
strncton of the road. Unless this ia done
the county franchise Is forfeited and the
road cannot be built. No contract can he
made until an entrance to the city is
granted. To let the contract properly re-
Quires time. For this reason. if the Council
desires to have the road built 1t is neces-
sary that prompt consideration be given
the matter.
From this it is evident that if the pres
ent negotiation is to succeed the Council
must act promptly. A failure to do so.
unless very convincing reasons can be
given, will be construed as an attempt
to play into the hands of the Citizens
company by defeating competition at
the expense of the public interests.

nounce that "the clerk will read the
journal of yesterday" By all State leg
islatures has this order been observed.
No deliberative body ever before began
a days work without either having the
journal of the previous session read or
the reading dispensed with by unani-
nous consent. During the last House,
cratic filibusters in attempting to amend
tho journal and in debates over 1t. In
this instance the attention of the Speaker
was called to the fact that the journal
had not been read. but he decided that
consideration of the resolution took
precedence to the formula so long OBJ
served in the opening of sessions of de-
Lucrative bodies. "Does the Chair de-
eide that business can be done
before the reading of the journali"
asked MIR. Dingley. "The Chair
so DECIDES" answered Speaker Crisp.
One might have expected that
such an announcement would have
brought Mr.. Bynum to his feet, filled
his mou tn with yell and set his fists
a-shaking at the Speaker, or, when he
had quieted little. that he would have
repeated that grass speech of
the last session. But not word. No
one even suggested that Mr.. Crisp be
pulled out of his seat. Mr.. Tracey, OF
New York, appealed from the decision.
but the same men who shouted defiance
and insulting epithet at Thomas B.
Reed when he counted men present to
make quorum were only too happy to
sustain this mOnstrOus ruling, which set
aside all presidents and the ruling of
the preceding Democratic Speaker.
Mr.. Carlisle. Then Mr.. Tracey raised
the question of considering the resolu-
ton of the committee on rules, and
again the Speaker ruled that he was not
in order. ThereupOn he appealed. and
a Mr.. Warner, who seems to be posing
for recognition as prophet, warned his
Democratic colleagues that "a Demo-
cratic House was enforcing a most ar
bitrary rule in more arbitrary manner
than any enforced by the previous
House" But it was of no avail; the
Democratic two thirds was determined
not to be obstructed by mere remnant
of the party which belonged to Wall
street" by the cry of czarism.
Attention is called to this incident so
that in the coming campaign, when our
Indiana Democratic Congressman tell
their audiences of the tyranny Of ex-
Speaker Reed, they can be reminded of
the fact that Speaker Crisp swept aside
the precedent of all previous Congresses
in order to receive a resolution against
which the question of consideration
could not be discussed, and that every
Indiana Democrat sustained that action.

Two hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars worth of cattle for distribution
among some Northwestern Indians looks
like pretty big outlay for lot of lazy
loafers who won't work as long as they
are fed. If these cattle were intended
as a final investment and to stock farms
it would be different, but if next winter
happens to be cold their owners will
kill and eat them and call for more-and
the government will promptly furnish
them. If there is any delay, the noble
and sagacious savage will slay and scalp

in order to bring the paternal authori-
ties at Washington to time.
