LETTIN' OFF STEAM.
Travelling Mems Republican Club
Has a JOilificatiOn.

Travelling Mems Republican Club
Has a JoiIifcatiOn.
The Travelling Mems Republican Club met
in their rooms last night to 'let of surplus
steam" The exhaust pipe was thrown wide
open and the amount of surplus steam
found to be on hand was surprising in view
of the large amount that had been turned
on by the club during the campaign. The
night was cold, damp and altogether mis-
cradle, yet a large crowd of enthusiastic
Republicans attended the meeting and felic-
itated one another upon the gigantic victory
achieved by their party In the election.
With the proverbial acumen of their pro-
fession, the travelling men did not forget,
In the hour Of their victory, that they must
prepare for future battles and other cam
paigns. This was in fact taken up from
the outstart of the meeting. and mentioned
by the first person who addressed the club.
The club was organized two years ago, just
after the Republican party had suffered an
overwhelming defeat. 1t was organized by
seven faithful 'drummers." who had conf
dence in the ability of the travelling men
of the State to exert a large influence for
the party. The seven kept up the organiza-
ton for a time by themselves. 1t was hard
work to get new members at the outstart,
after such a defeat by the party. but the

put into their business and were finally
successful in getting the organization on TO
it's feet. and 1t became one Of the most
effective political organizations in the State.
At last nights meeting Messrs. Charles
Schmidt, Carey MCPHERSON, I. i. Swain,
Charles Letter and others all spoke Of the
necessity OF keeping the organization alive,
and active as it ever had been and prepar-
ing for the campaign OF 1896. Mr.. McPher-
son, in speaking OF the organization OF the
club. said it mad been IT'S purpose then
to never relent in the war till it had placed
the city, county, State and Nation under
Republican rule. 1t had been a valuable
factor in securing the success OF the Re-
publican party in the first city election
after its organization, and now il had seen
the country pass out OF the control of the
Democratic ring. To continue its purpose,
he said, it must begin early to prepare for
the national campaign in 1886 and assist In
again putting a Republican President in
the White House. Mr.. Schmidt cautioned
the members against letting the immensely
of the pluralities make them too confident
of their ability in future campaigns. IL does

HOW MIR. MASON VIEWS TT.
Company Can Now Get More Money
for improvements.

for improvements.
Mr.. Augustus L. Mason. president of the
Citizens Street-railroad Company, was seen
by a reporter and asked his views con-
corning the opinions filed in the federal
court.
Concerning the law of the case" said
Mr.; Mason there is little to say. TIE de,
OF Mckee & Werner at the time they pur-
chased the property: at the time the Board
our street railway rights 10 the City Rail-
way Company and subsequently,. TIL av-
erage man will feel, l think. that in this
street railroad required the present decision
not less than the law itself. In Mr.. Nc
KEGS absence ! feel at liberty to say, that
no one except those OF US VINO are closely
associated with him can probably appre-
ciate his courage, his intellectual resources.
and his unbounded faith in the opinion OF
his lawyers. The City railway scneme was
sprung within two weeks after the pur-
chasers took possession of the property. A
timid man would have Cancelled the enor-
nous contracts newly made for giving the
entire city a first-class electric street rail-
road; not so with Mr.. Mckee. be SAID:
the Me people wpi e nal not not suffer- UIf " indianapolis has
wretched, street railroads, 1t is our duty
and our business to give 1t the best posi-
e e,a syftam:s w eeetina asder T rsen o came s' the
bank panic. Mr.. Mckee. ably supported by
Mr.. Werner and Mr.. Clay, brought
MS PERSONAL Circuit u luc
of the company. Then came an enormous
loss of receipts owing to the hard times,
This Mr.. Mckee met by giving his personal
attention to every form Of our operating
expenses. For months he gave two days
OF every week to this property. he came
here and personally. directed the conduct
Of the company during the labor troubles
at and subsequent TO the encampment.
His capacity for detail is u~nbounded: A
copy of every pay roll is sent to him, with
its hundreds of names, and ne personally
checks it off. In these respects the present
owners are in marked contrast with the
former Chicago owners, who were not
street railroad men, and gave little per-
sonal attention to the property.
The practical bearing of the decision is
that it puts the company in a position to
get the money needed for new improve
ments. Many miles of track need to be
relaid. Some suburbs have been urgen for
extended lines; more cars are needed. These
things take cash counted by the hundreds
of Thousands of dollars and / believe the
decision OF the court brings them nearer.
This Is the trust reposed in the company
to give the people complete and adequate
facilities. and the decision OF the federal
court now makes it easier for this public
trust to be faithfully discharged"

Mr.. Winter Thinks the Citizens Com
pany Position Sustained Entirely.
Ferdinand Winter. of the counsel for the
Citizens company, was highly pleased with
the decision. He considers it a decided vic
tory for his client. He looks upon the de-
cision of Judge Woods as giving the Citi-
zens' company all they asked for in that
it declares the seven years extension to be
valid. and declares that the city Council
had no power to place a limit upon the
time of the charter. "In short" he said,
"the decision substantially s~us.ains. the
Citizens company in the position which 1t
has assumed"
The members of the City company do not
look upon the decision with the same pleas
ure. They claim that, on the same. points
OF law, the decision is contrary to that, re-
Gently rendered in Cincinnati in the Toledo
case. That decision, one of the City COM
pany says, held that the city had the right
to limit the time Of the charter granted.
Other attorneys in speaking of the matter
said that under the decision the only relief
the city can get is through an act of the
LEGISLATURE amending the charter and limit
ing the time.
An appeal will be taken to the Supreme
Court

was constants lamenting Gladys in
fatuation, and assuring her that she
might do a great deal better.
But Gladys had her own way in the
matter, as these calm and self-pos-

atty was proof against the luster of dia-
nonds and the simmer of a coronet.
Therefore she had none of those mis-
cradle indecisions and heart question
ings, which more tickle girls endure.
Horace reigned supreme and Sir Henry
Magee would have his diamonds and
his congo tomorrow.
When the portrait, which meant so
much to Gladys, first came home, it
would not go into the recess which it
was supposed to fit; various other po-
sitions were tried, but none of them
quite pleased the young lady, who,
however, kindly and yielding else
where, was despotism itself as re-
garded the Arrangement of her own
pretty rooms. So she cleared away
the books and knick-knacks from the
shelf below, and decreed that the

shelf and so it was.
On this never-to-be-forgott night,
Gladys, as we have said, closed the

HEROES.
1.-THE BOYS HERO.

1.-THE BOYS HERO.
The lad who starts in life as poor as any small
church mouse:
Who has hard stepmother who will keep him
Who runs away, and meets man who takes
him by the hand.
And tries to make him fit to lead a wicked
pirate band;
Who wnks his eye, and learns a lot about the
pirate crew
Becomes. indeed. their leader, but whose prin-
cipleS are true
And gives his followers away to him they wish
to rob
1 think boys like him better if his name be
Jack or Bob
Who jumps into a raging sea and saves drown
ing girl,
Whose father. as it chances, is a naughty noble
earl
Who goes to CONGREGATIONS with little water
pail.
And takes a hand just when the engines seem
about to fail;
Who goes to war with nothing but dagger
made of steel
And with it forces thousands of his enemies to
reel:
Or who perchance, sells papers in a so attrac-
tive way
That he becomes a millionaire in one year and
q day;
Whom nothing daunts-thiS hero true the
schOolboy much enthralls-
Who If twas necessary could swim up Mag IA
Falls;
And when his fathers bout to taste bitter
CALLING cup
Appears upon the scene in time to pay the
mortgage up:
Who then goes hack and WEEDS the child of him
they call the earl
The loveliest of all her sex, a truly perfect
girl;
Then sits him down in comfort. full of honor
and true worth.
And seems to all mankind to be the finest man
on earth.
1.-THE GIRLS HERO.
The lad who doesn't run away because he can
not stand
The ways of his stepmother with her rude
ungentle hand.
But stays at home to cheer his dad, and miti-
gate the strife
That he must suffer from the one he's taken for
wife,
poetry
That no one knows is writ by him. but which
all men can see
Is finer verse than Milton ever wrote, excelled
by none
Save one or two small verses by the immortal
TennyS0n:
Who could save folks from drowning if the
chance should e'er arise
Whose words are few and always of the wisest
of the wise:
Who. spite OF all temptations to wed handsome
wealthy girls.
Prefers some little freckled maid with pretty
yellow curlS;
Who's always saying noble things, like Il am
here" and Hold
You cannot buy my conscience. nay for all
your store of gold"
Who gives away to those who need no matter
what his store
And says Take all I've got; I weep because l
have no more
Who grows to manly stature with pallor on
his face.
And walks into a drawing-room with really
wondrouS grace:
Who never reads or says a thing that strikes
the girls as trash,
And settles down to happiness and twirls a
brown mustache.
