to permit the use of electric equipment by
the street-railroad company as before the
Councii the company had little to do with
obtnin ing the passage of the ordinance,
that work being looked after BY Col.
Bailey. of the Thompson Houston Electric
Company. His interest In IL was that he
had an agreement from Shatfer then
p<esident OF the road. TO purchase from
tho Thompson Houston company all the
electric supplies for the equipment OF the
road. This agreement was carried out by
Shatfer so long ae be was president OF the
road. After Shatfer was deposed the street.
railroad company purchased some OF its
supplies from tho Edison company. and
after the consolidation of that company
with others il purchased most OF Its ap-
paratus from the westinghouse people.
This naturally brought the Thompson
Houston people TO the front fighting the
street railroad company. The Thompson
Houston then consolidated with the Jenney
Electric Company, of Fort Wayne, of
which Mr.. Mcdonald was virtually propri-
etor. and he became a large stockholded In
that he came TO this city and employed at
torneys and talked freely. He talked
loudly of street-raIlroads and fran
chlses but ie WAS notice
able fact that he did nothing.
except purchase the Broad Ripple Park. for
which he received the value of his money
in that purchase. In the hubbub the un-
known company was lost track of conn.,
plctely and it came to be looked upon as a
settled fact that Mcdonald and the Clti-
zens' company would be the only bidders
for the franchise. Shortly before the time
for receiving bids, Mcdonald went east.
Mason went east Then. while the whole
lot of them were somewhere in the
East. Mcdonald withdrew from the
field. The Citizens company. thinking
that he was the only competitor, declined
to bid. and the unknown quietly steps In
and makes very favorable offer. and will
probably get the franchise. You may rest
assured that Mcdonald. at the time he
withdrew. with 80 much noise. had reached
some kind OF an agreement with the CIti.
zens Company. He started his franchise
talk to get this agreement. and you may be
certain that his withdrawal was because he
secured one similar to the one made by
Shaffer. and hereafter the company will
purchase its electric equipment from the
Thompson Houston Company"

sCHOoLBOOK COMMISSIONERS.
New Grammar to Be Advertised For-No Re-
vision of Those Biographies

The State Board of Schoolbook Commits.
sioners met yesterday afternoon IN the
Statehouse and reviewed the books now
being used in the public schools under con-
tract with the different firms that have
been furnishing books to the schools. The
business Of the board was not completed
before evening. and b night session was
held at the Bates House. They con-
cluded to order no revision of tho
arithmetic and biographies. ss these
books were said to be giving general satis'
faction, Notwithstanding the fact that in
the Biographies IndianapoliR was situated
west of White river somewhere about the
vicinity of HauGhyille. The board decided
to make q second contract with the Indiana
School. book Company for these books for
another period of five years.
They ordered q revision of the copy books
and made arrangements to recontract for
another term of five years for these bookA
The consideration of the readers was post<
poned until the May meeting of the board.
Attorney general Smith gave 1t as HE
opinion that they need not at this meeting
consider the revision of the histories. SPELL
ers, physi0logies and language books. az
the contracts for them did not expire until
1896. and they were not considered. They
took steps TO advertise for bids for new
intermediate grammar, to cost not to ex-
coed 20 cents.
The board then adjourned as the Board
of Schoolbook Commissioners. and imme-
diately convened as the State Board Of Ed
ucstion, and commissioned the high schools
of Pendleton and Lebanon.

THE CLAIM OF A PERPETUAL CHARTER.

Speculation is still rife as to what
could have induced the Citizeus' Street.
railroad Company to refrain from max
ing a bid for the new charter. In view
of the offer made by the Elliott syndi-
cate, it seems incredible that the old
company, which already has plant,
could not have made at least as good
bid. Its statement that the conditions
of the charter are impracticable finds no
credence among practical street-railrOad
men or those who are familiar with the
profits of the business.
1t has been suggested that the action
of the Citizens company in this regard
was due to the fact that it claims it's
present charter is perpetual. This state
ment finds some support in the large
price which the company paid for the
franchise and in the steps which have
since been taken looking to an increase
of the capital stock. The Journals opin-
ion on this question of the perpetuity
of the present Charter may not be worth
much, but it is offered gratuitously, to
the effect that there is nothing in the
claim. 1t should be remarked, by the
way, that statement in the city col
umns of the Journal. yesterday, that ex-
Attorney general Miller rendered an
opinion, a few years ago, to the effect
that the present charter is perpetual. W as
quiry that Mr.. Miller never gave such
an opinion.
The present charter was granted by
the City Council on the 18th of January,
1864, under and by virtue of an act of
the Legislature of June 4. 1861. entitled
"An act to provide for the incorpora-
tion of street-railroad companies"
There is nothing in the act of the Leg
islature TO sustain the claim of perpetui-
ty, and we understand that it rests on
inal charter authorized the Citizens
company to lay tracks on certain

MYSTERIOUS "HEAVY.SET' MAN.
He Is Much Wanted Person in the Young
Mnrder Case Just Now.

From the evidence adduced before the
coroner in the Young murder case yester-
day. 1t would seem that the individual
known as the "thick-set man" could throw
some light on the great mystery. could he
lie found. Nearly every woman in the
Weat End has seen the fellow, but the de-
soriptlons they give of him are sadly at
variance. Charles Seibert. the prisoner,
does not at all correspond with the nysteri-
Gus person. nor does Marsh. of West In
dianspolis. meet the requirements. The
latter has thus far remained in the back
ground. except to present himself at police
headquarters, where Seibert failed to
identify him. He was to have testified be-
fore the coroner yesterday. but failed to
appear. and unless he is on hand this
morning q constable will be sent out after
him.

disappeared Bell heard of the tight in
which Young was hurt, and while he
was talking about the affair Mollie Downs
came in TO make q purchase He spoke TO
her about what he had heard. and she
laughed. She was very calm and had not

In Belgium the ruling class has shut
out the greater part of the people from
participation in public affairs by requir-
ing the evidence of the payment of a
direct tax of IS as a qualification for
suffrage. The people have now caused
the obstacle to impartial suffrage to be
removed. In several States of the South
heavy poll tax has been imposed, the
payment of which is a prerequisite to
the exercise of suffrage. This has been
done by the so-called Democratic party,
and as result thousands of poor col
ored men are unable to vote. Those
Democratic papers which are congratu-
lating the masses in Belgium on their
victory should turn their attention to
the Democratic leaders who have dis
franchised tens of thousands of voters
by the same methods of the privileged
classes in Belgium.
