The work Of tearing up the track was
very thoroughly done. Tho brick paw
ing was torn up with it, the intention
being to lay one track in the middle OF
the street, which, the citizens interested
claim, is all the track the company has
right to lay. Only two rails OF the
westerly track had been removed. how
ever, when work ceased.
The wOrkmen who tore up the rails
had scarcely disappeared from sight
when car arrived from tho barn, carry
ing force OF about twenty men, with
the necessary tools for relaying the
track, and they went to work doing
that very promptly. II took Just eight
minutes by the watch for them to re-
place one OF the rails taken up from the
westerly track, and tho other side was
spiked down about as quick, so that it
was little after quarter past five when
tho ono track on Jacob street was again
intact and ready for tho passage OF cars.
The injunction issued by Judge PAUL.
Is, OF course, merely temporary. II on
a full hearing Of tho matter on its
merits 1t is the opinion Of tho court
that tho company is in the wrong and
the city right, OF course tho injunction
will BIO dissolved.
The objection 10 the track originated
with q large number Of people living
along that part Of jacob street, who pc.
titioned the City Council to have the
track removed. They are represented
by Prosecuting Attorney Howard, who
said last evening that he would 20 into
court to-day, move TO dissolve tho in

becomesa law, will proclaim that Indiana
is a swlndlers' paradise.

THE legislative investigation of the
sweat shops in Chicago has brought
out the fact that penitentlary- made
clothing, manufactured by the con-
victs at Sing Sing. n. Y. is ham
died by Chicago wholesale dealers;
that Chicago manufacturers cannot
compete with it, and that its presence
in the market is, in some measure, re-
sponsible for the cutting down of wages
and the existence of sweat shops. A
member of the committee said he re-
garded this information as the most i'm
pOrtant the committee had yet discov-
cred. 1t came out in evidence that
every clothing house in Chicago ham
died more OF less of the goods manu-
featured at Sing Sing. If modern civ
ilizatiOn cannot find and apply some
remedy for such systematic oppression
of free labor by the lessees of convict
labor, modern civilization must be pro-
nounced failure.

Is 1T A CORPORATION LEeIsLATURE7


The impression is getting out among
the people that this is corporation
Legislature. If several measures now
pending before that body become laws,
this Impression will turn to conviction.
One of the minor iDfamies of the Nc
Hugh bill. now law, extending the
terms of existing municipal govern
ments two years. is "a purpose to continue
in the city of Lafayette aCouncil and at
torney favorable to the schemes of q
natural-gas company. A proposition to
amend the Constitution SO that the gross
or net earnings of corporations can be-
taxed has been defeated by the Demo-
cratic Senate, all but two members of
the party voting against it. At the pres
ent time bill is pending in the House,
gives the corporations controlling the
natural-gas territory and the supply
entire control of the supply. Ten thou
sand people are naturally opposed to
the measure where one is in favor of it.
The people of the natural-gas region
are opposed to the pending bill, which
is being pushed by the skilled lobby
employed by the men who hope to make
fortunes out of gas in the event their
bill is passed. In fact, it establishes a
natural-gas trust which may become as
oppressive as the Sugar or the COrdage
trust. No one appears for the people
because they trust to the members of
the Legislature tOprotect their interests.
The lobby of another corporation is
labOring to defeat bill which is de-
signed to compel it to bear fair share
of the maintenance of the streets which
it uses for its tracks. Now it practi-
cally has the streets for nothing, tearing
them up as its managers please and leav-
ing them in any condition they please.
If the bill now pending fails the owners
of homes along tho lines will be COM
PEELED to bear a burden which belongs
to the Citizens Street-railway Company.
If this bill fails and the bill of the
natural-Ras monopoly passes it will be
due to the fact that the controlling ele-
ment in the Indiana Legislature ignore
the masses to serve moneyed and po-
tential corporations. This is plain
statement of the case. No member
hereafter need make mistake. Fur
thermore. let no member imagine that
he can explain away any subserviency to
the corporations fighting for monopOlies.

him. since the indications are that they
were not as prosperous as was Washing
ton. The other remarked that he had not
much regard for Washington. because
he was an aristocrat. 1t may be added
that these gentlemen are leading Demo
Gratis in Indiana who know enough OF
Washington to realize that he was
against the elements in his time which
subsequently made the Democratic party,
and that his views of questions which
will exist as long as the government are
not their views.

THE MHUGH MUNICIPAL BILL.

GOVERNOR MATTHEWS has allowed to
become law without his approval the
McHugh bill. extending the terms of city
officers two years and making the terms Of
city officers, including cOunciImen. four
years hereafter. The bill is altogether
viciOus.-EvansvIlle Journal.

of the city officers in all towns and cities
except Indianapolis and Evansville, was
not signed by the Governor and became a

Paper.
THE fact that the Governor admitted
that the McHugh bill was q most vicious

hensible. In our opinion no more dan

TEE PENDING GAS LEGISLATION.

The dangerous measure upon which.
it is alleged. monopoly of the natural
gas interests of Indiana is to be based,
has fallen into the hands of committee
of three members of the House. Messrs.
FarlOw, Alder and Erwin. If they bring
in IN amended bill it will come up on
third reading. The fact that all three
are prominent Democrats cuts no
particular figurejust now, though it may
in the next campaign, for this question
is of more Importance to the people than
all the political measures that can be
thrown into the Legislature. One men,
Der from this county has distinctly OPP
posed the dangerous measure on the
floor, another has as distinctly ia
vored it, and another has expressed him
self somewhat indefinitely for a modif-
cation of it.
The Journal does not believe that any
further gas legislation is needed. The
reports of the Consumers Trust Com
pany show that the profits in natural
gas are something enormous, and we do
not believe the companies are suffering
The question of cutting off factories in
emergencies is one that the cities inter-
ested are perfectly competent to handle.
The State should not interfere to give
the gas companies a club which they
may or may not use to bring low-rate
cities to terms. Corporations are not in
business from motives either directly or
remotely philanthropical. and it is very
seldom they miss an opportunity to
squeeze ali the money they can from the
people.
While the Journal hopes and believes
that the committee named will deal fair
iy and honestly with this matter, despite
the opportunities of wealthy and IN
flucntial lobby, it begs the members of
the House, as the guardians of the peo-
ples interests, to scrutinize with the
utmost care any amended bill that may
be brought in, and not vote for it until
they understand every feature of it and
know 1t to be just and right.

A MEASURE THAT NEEDS WATCHING.

Senate bill No. $50, whose author is
Senator Ntzhugh,, of Tippecanoe, is
measure which might be suspected if
presented by a man less notorious for
obnoxious and cunningly- devised legis-
lative schemes. 1t has already been
passed by the Senate and has been fa-
vOrably reported by the House judiciary
committee. 1t is q proposition to amend
the voluntary association act and author
ize the incorporation of agricultural
companies, literary societies. safe de-
posit companies, of associations to carry
on mercantile business, and "associa-
tions for the purpose of conducting any
kind of business, trade or commerce
that the parties incorporating it shall
desire to engage in" All this would be
very suspicious if there were no prece-
dent showing that it is an iniquitous
measure. Maine has had a law of this
kind, and for years all sorts of swind-
ling companies were organized by
schemers belonging in other States,
