NIAGARA FALLS AT POMPEII.
Magnificent PyrOtechnical Design {
Feature Tonight.

The special feature that is to be intro
duced in the production Of Last DAYS of
Pompeii' tonight will be one of unusual
elaboration and beauty. 1t is a represen-
tation. nearly 200 feet long. in solid flames
of different colors. of Niagara falls, being
the largest piece of fireworks ever manu-
featured. The workmen have been prepar-
ing il for two weeks, and tonight will
probably be the only time it will be given.
as it is a very difficult and expensive piece
to get up. Tonight will also be G. A. r.
night, and in honor of the veterans the
badge of that order will be repre-
sented In fireworks, as we'll as other special
designs. There is reason TO expect a great
attendance tonight. On Tuesday night,
when the weather was decidedly chilly,
and there were no special attractions,
there was n large crowd. which will prob
ably be much increased tonight with
pleasanter atmospheric conditions, and
such a great special attraction as Mi
agara on fire"
each of the succeeding performances. The
French grotesoue dancers, who will make
their second appearance tonight, do a
novel and attractive act-one of the best
Of its kind ever seen here.
An excursion party OF 200 people wi. be
here from Shelbyville TO see Pompeii to-
night, and there will be large delegations
from other ~neighboring towns. The fame of
the spectacle is spreading throughout the
State. and is drawing many people to the
city, which was the original purpose of its
production here.
Next Saturday night will be "Indianap-
oils Night when it is expected that the
attendance from the city will be the great
est yet seen at Lincoln Park. Mayor Dem
ny's picture will be done in fire, and
there Will be other special attractions.
There will be four presentations OF the
spectacle next week-Tuesday, Wednes-
day. Thursday and Friday nights, and it
is expected that the crowds who will be
in town to attend the State fair will fiji
the amohitheater at the performances Of
Pompeii.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Permit ne to express the opinion that
the brutal manner in which the black men
in the South have been hung up and shot
down like dogs. without giving them a
chance to defend themselves, is not to be
passed unnoticed. When any crime is COM
mitted a pack OF negro-haters are put on
the track OF some one or more black men.
who are at once declared TO be guilty OF
the offense, and they are murdered with
out any trial or any evidence. in some in
stances. The committee appointed in Eng
land is not TO acquire any political ad-
vantages-not for spoil or conquest, but to
learn the truth about these charges and
10 express an opinion on a question OF hui
manity. Instead OF blubbering over stale
and obsolete sayings or threats of twisting
the lions tail, il would be more in har-
mony with enlightened public sentiment 10
seek TO stretch the necks of the men WHO
have disgraced our government. The eyes
OF all nations are upon US, and we must be
seen as we are. j. w. III.

Prefer. the Republican Way

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
1 see by to-day's Sentinel that in case the
Republicans are successful they also will
tinker with the tariff. as they have been
calling the tariff bill just passed all kinds
OF hard names. TIL people well under
stand that there is a vast difference in
the two ways of tinkering. The Republican
way of tinkering builds up home indus
tries and gives plenty OF work at reason
able wages, but the Democratic way OF
tinkering destroys home industries and
doesn't give work at any price. Give US
the Republican way OF u-kering, every
time. j. d L.

ment, and agree with the Alliance ia that
proposition. The government could not pay
cash for the one hundred and ninety odd
thousand miles Of railroads, and the vast
mileage of telegraph and telephones. The
rate of taxation necessary to raise the cash
would destroy the people, and the only
alternative TO put the government i'll owner
ship of the railroads, tclegraphs and tele-
phones would be 10 issue eight billions #
bonds to buy the railroads, aud nobody
knows how many millions to buy the tclc-
graph and telephone systems of the country
Is the Alliance prepared TO urge the creation
of such bonded debt upon the present aud
future generations, and thereby perpetuatc
the national banking system Indefinitely
II so, | cannot 80 with it, The government
now has control and supervision of the rall'
roads by aud through the Interstate Com
m.rcc Commission, and the experiment has
not realized the expectations Of its friends.
The ownership of the railroads in dcsp"tc
governments il justified on the ground that
they are military necessities for the rapid
mobilization AMI transportation of armies.
1t has not redOunded to the interest of the
people for freight rates arc 30 per cent.
higher in those countries than Ill this, and
they are consequently n great burden upon
the masses OF the people. | believe have
now ma !e full and complete answers to youl
inquiries, in general aud in detail.
If fnnythiug has been omitted, viii gladly
supplement what have said, if you will call
it to my attention.
Very truly yours, NJ. {. DIILEK
