Special to the Indianapolis Journal.


WASHINGTON. Feb. a. Bankhead bum
coed Bynum. That in effect is the story of
why Indianapolis gets no public building.
The day in the House was devoted to the
committee on public buildings. whose chair
man, Mr.. Bankhead, had solemnly promised
Mr.. Bynum that the Indianapolis public
building bill should be the first one. con-
sldered. Yesterday Mr. Bynum threatened
TO make trouble for Mr.. Bankhead If the
promise was broken Possibly Mr.. Bank
head suspected Mr.. Bynum of bluffing. If
ne did, he certainly called Mr.. Bynum' S
bluff. for to-day he utterly disregarded
Mr.. Bynumf and his threats and, instead
of giving the Indianapolis bill chance, he
calmly called up the printing house bill,
which has the unsavory reputation of being
the biggest job of the session. Mr.. Bynum
sat by and uttered never word of protest.
The House wrangled all day over the bill.
The opponents of the scheme finally dis
posed of IL by frttering away the day,
but indianapolis is still without her public
building just the same.

AITKIN Age:: If we plow the field of
Minnesota public opinion with the
deep-cutting share of truth; if we har-
row it with personal appeals to our
friends ''outside,'' who earn their
bread as we do; and if we SOW it un-
ceasingly till the Sth day of November,
&c., with the good seed of fact as to the
curse the untaxed railroad lands are
to us, the harvest will be grapes and
figs in abundance. If we fold our
hands and rely on the Inherent sense
of justice in the people to win our fight
for us, we will fall heir to the same
old thistles and thorns of yore-and
marvelously we'll shall we deserve
them. Just remember that, friends of
Aitkin county, and remember that if
we fail at the next election to force
the railroad companies to carry their
just share of taxation, we fail for at
least our life time-and act as a steady
contemplation of that undeniable fact
must force you to act.

THE Chatfeld Democrat gets pretty
near the truth of it when it says: "An-
thracite coal is now selling in St. Paul
and Minneapolis at S6.25 per ton. The
low price is due wholly to a quarrel
between railroad companies who own
coal mines and the coal trust. When
they get tired of the war and kiss and
make friends, that portion of the pub
lie who never buy on a declining mar
ket or sell on a rising one, but always
miss the chance by waiting for still
more favorable terms, are likely to
pay the cost of the fight"

MACS BREA X.

The old lady of the St. Cloud Times
is suffering from a severe attack of
collie which even Land Office Soothing
Syrup will not relieve. The Times mud
guns were turned on the UNIONS edi-
tor this week because he happened to
criticise the measly, disreputa BILE, un-
American, damphool foreign policy of
the administration. It's sure case of
birdie singing when the clock strikes,
and the reference we made to the
malady affecting the Times granny
several weeks ago is the cause of this
frantic bawling.
But the richness of the attack is in
creased when the reader scans the fol-
towing extract from a special published
on the first page of the Times, Aug. l3:
The foreign community Of Tien Tsin express
sympathy with the friends of the Ku Cheng
Victims They consider the Chinese officials
guilty and the British and Americans blame the
continued apathy Of their governments for the
situation. England and America must send an
ultimatum threatening reprisals. Diplomacy
is useless. We implore attention.

THE THINGS THAT TELL,

That the financial affairs Of the city of
Indianapolis arc in a much better con-
dition now than they were when the
Republicans came into power. no candid
and intelligent man can deny The Sulli-
van era was period Of looseness. and the
Sullivan Council was Of TIE same order.
Between them they made contracts for
lights wholly in the interest of the con-
tractors. which could not be sets aside.
Between them they permitted 100000 of
the city's 7.3 per ceat. bonds to be de-
faulted. neither the Mayor nor the Coun-
Gil sustaining the controller in his efforts
to negotiate an exchange. This was be-
cause the Mayor and the finance COM
mittee of the Council were dominated
by greedy coterie of local financiers
and party bosses. The Sullivan regime
was usually out of money and negotia-
ting temporary loans for which more
than double the rates Of discount were
paid that have been paid under the Re-
publican management. During period
of distrust 81, 100000 of 100 bonds were
refunded in per cents. at premium OF
over $4,000. Within six months OF the
Sullivan failure to negotiate a Az per
cent. bond at its face, the Denny ad-
ministration placed the whole amount
(s600. 00O) at per cent and a premium.
BY its successful negotiations and small
payment Of Understanding debt. the
interest account of the city has been re-
duced nearly $4,000 year. When the
Denny administration came in 1T found a
bankrupt treasury, with almost $200,0O0
of temporary loans outstanding. There
was not money enough in the treasury
to pay the election expenses. At the
present time there is a good working
balance in the treasury when all out
standing warrants and temporary loans
are paid.
All this has been dore with an in
partment and engineers service. and
without any increase of taxation. All
things considered, the city OF Indianapo-
lis is better off by at least a quarter of
a million dollars than 1t was when the
Democratic regime went out in October,
1893. To the great credit of the Council,
it has so prudently attended to it's du-
ties that 1t has had no scandals. For
tunate for Indianapolis. If succeeding
Councils shall be as conservative and so
jealous Of the city's interests.
Such results as these, which affect the
interests Of all the people. should be con-
sidered when the question of a change
arises. They are vastly more important
than whether Tom Smith gets a place
and Bill Jones does not The city gov
eminent should be managed for the in
terest Of all, and not Of a few.
