It's getting close to Christmas; across the
hills and dells,
You can almost hear the Ginning and the
rhyming of the bells;
But the skies are clear and candid, with TO
clouds that dream Of SLOW,
And YOU hear i'm dark and daylight all the
Elm bugles blow.
It's getting close TO Christmas; there's
something in the air
That seems 20 breathe Of Bethlehem and
all the glories there;
And sweet the bells and bugles sound
through our dreams of rest
Ring, bells, your sweetest music! and bu-
giles blow your best!
It's getting close to Christmas. o time Of
peace and joy!
And o 10 be once more once more, a wake

But we still thank God for Christmas, and

BUSINESS INCREASING
Last Weeks Railway Traffic Heav-
Ter Than the Previous One.
IL Is Still. However, Far Below the Ex-
peetatiOns of Freight Agents-Local
American Railway Union.

The train records show that in the week
ending Dec. there were LISP more loaded
received and forwarded at Indianapo-
lis than in the week ending Dec ., and the
business of last week comes nearer reach
ing the volume Of the corresponding week
OF 1892 than has the movement Of many
months past. Freight men, however, are
not much elated over this increased bus
mess. as they we'll know that IT will not be
reflected in the earnings. to so low a point
have easC-bound rates dropped, not having
been so low since the war OF 1882 as they
will be after Dec. Is. when they will drop
below the recent reduction on which the
business Of last week was carried An
other unfavorable feature is that seldom
have rate wars struck so many classes OF
freights. The calls for empty cars indicate
heavy east-bound movement OF grain the
next two or three weeks. Shipments of
cotton eastward continue heavy, and not
IN many years have the shipments Of live
stock east over Indianapolis lines been as
heavy as the last month. The heavy pur-
chases of cattle and hogs for Eastern mar
kets have forced local packers to pay more
for hogs than they expected to and higher
prices than the figures ruling in other mar
kets in the West will justify. The in
creased business OF the week ending Dec.
. was largely in grain and grain products.
There are several thousand car loads OF
grain and flour for export already booked
at Newport News. Baltimore, Philadelphia
and New York, to pass over Indianapolis
lines, which means the heavy business pre-
dicted. West-bound tonnage is light, more
especially in the lower class freights. No

nish the weSt-bound business that the
roads are usually handling at this season
OF the year. Local business is exceedingly
light; even in shipments OF holiday goods
there Is q marked decrease over that of
December Of many years. The force OF
clerks and platform mem is now the small
est at any time in years, and agents fear
they will have to further reduce expenses
in this direction unless business soon re-
wives, and the belief is becoming quite gem
eral that ii will not before spring. Below
IS given the number of cars received and
forwarded at this point for the week end

COLUMBIAN STAMP VALUES.
A Collector Who FOrcsees They Will
Soon Be at Premium.


That blessings brighten as they take their
flight is one of the established truths OF TIE
universe, and it is exemplified by the in
creasing affection shown for the long
abused Columbian stamp since it is an
nounced that the supply is running out. To
be sure there are still few carloads OF
different varieties in the vaults of the Post
ofhc Department, but the supply will prob
ably be exhausted by Jan. l, so the, col
iectors are getting in their work and Sc
curing specimens before it is too late.
The other day a collector walked into the
city poStoffice and asked for a five, a three
and a two-dollar Columbian stamp, re-
marking that he wanted them to complete
the set he was getting together. Then he
wanted to know if the stamp clerk at the
window would not cancel them for him be-
fore he left, as they were more valuable
when Cancelled. The clerk politely assured
the purchaser that it was against the law
to cancel the stamps before they had passed
through the office, but said that if he would
address an envelope to himself and put the
stamps on it they would go through the
regular course of handling and be Cancelled
So the collector addressed an envelope to
himself at his hotel and, putting his ten
dollars worth of stamps on it, dropped it
in the slot

TIE Duty OF THE HouR.

The delegates to the Independent citi
zens' convention appear to have acted
prudently at their meeting on Monday
night. and with a view to effecting a
general fusion of parties and organiza-
tions, so as to ensure the nomination of a
municipal ticket which can be supported
by the majority OF the people of this city.
The committee OF fifty, selected to
nominate ticket, are to be waited upon
by committee from the Independent
organization, in order that if possible
there may be a union of views and efforts
to accomplish the end which both move
ments have in view. On the result of
that effort will probably depend the sue
cess OF the endeavor 10 rescue the city
from Liberal misruie.
The committee OF fifty have a duty i'm
posed upon them which they should not
shirk. Nor should they be prevailed
upon to ignore the fact that the purpose
in view of their selection was to put the
city on higher plane and out of the
reach of Liberalism, nor the fact that
without the support of the masses of the
people they cannot accomplish the
desired object. The Independent conven-
ton and its committee represent
very large body of the citizens, and
the committee of fifty will be
within the line of their duty if they at
least consider any proposition the indie
pendents have to offer and take definite
action upon it.
1t must be clear to those of our citizens
who have determined that the munich
pality shall be taken from the hands that
have nearly ruined it financially, that
the worst elements of the Liberal faction
are uniting under the old leadership and
the old dictations This ought to stimu-
late all the better elements of the city to
coalesce. In the movement for reform,
petty differences, personal considerations,
party interests should give place to the
common welfare, and grand, deter
mined and united effort should be made
to redeem the municipality from the
clutches of the faction that has disgraced
it and nearly brought it to complete
bankruptcy. Now is the day of salvation.

VOORHEES, AND HIS AccusERs.

According to his Republican and Popu-
list maligners, Senator VOORHEES, sold
himself to the oddities. He was the 'tpaid
emissary of Wall street, He was stthe
bought hemchman of Cleveland. - He
was a ''turEcoat' and 'monometal-
Iist'' and several other dreadful things
all rolled into one.
But change has come over the char
acter of the attacks upon him, and the
very people who were said to be his mas
ters are now berating him as savagelyias
the other lot. His senatorial courtesy is
derided, he is charged with delaying and
betraying the cause of repeal, and the
New York press are particularly savage
in their onslaughts upon him.
Candidly, does not this look as if the
structures passed upon him in the first
place sprang either from groundless sus-
picion or petty spite and malice? There
has not been, in all the abuse heaped
upon him by the extreme advocates of
silver coinage. one solitary substantial
piece of proof, even offered, in. support of
the charge that he had sold himself for
anything or To anybody.
1t is said that brother-in-law OF his
has received foreign appointment, and
that's the only shadow of an implication
that voorhees, has been Influenced by
patronage. - 1t is no. definitely alleged
that the place was obtained by his in
fluence, that there was any 'sbargain''
in connection with the matter, or that he
had anything whatever to do with the
appointment. If every man who has a
friend, or relative, whether he is d friend
or not, who obtains an official appoint
ment is to be suspected of venality and
condemned on such suspicion, where will
the line OF honor in public life be drawn?
VOORHEES, and many other prominent
Legislators have endeavored to obtain the
repeal of the silver purchase provision of
law in accord with the Recommendation
of the President. There is nothing
whatever, so far as has been disclosed, to
justify the mean and paltry attacks that
have been made upon their personal
integrity. They are as likely to be
