Suggestions for the Legislature.


To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The Republicans have an unprecedented
majority in both houses of the General
Assembly which was. no doubt obtained
through Democrats who either abstained
from voting at all or voted the Repub-
lican ticket as protest against the ignor-
ance and imbecility of the present Demo-
cratic administration. The successful party
obtained no aid whatever from either the
Populist or Prohibition party, who voted
their fads, apparently indifferent to the
suffering of the country, we'll knowing
they were practically disfranchised by the
unconstitutional Democratic gerrymander
enacted for the purpose. In considering
measures likely to come before the Leg
islature may safely assume that just and
fair apportonment laws, both for legisa-
tive and congressional districts, will be en-
acted as we'll as law placing the benevo-
lent and reformatory institutions I'M
eminent. The temperance question is
sure to come up, as it always does,
tains power. and prohibition, in some form,
is sure to be demanded. The liquor question
is always a dangerous one to handle. and
as an evidence of that may refer to the
action of the party in 1882, when it de-
clared in favor of submitting a prohibitory
amendment to the people and thereby
drove. out of the party the liberty-loving
Germans who did not really want to leave

twelve years, and during that time all the
outrageous gerrymanders and partisan
laws have been enacted. When liquor laws

action of the party in Iowa and Kansas

thousand IN favor of the G. O. p, which

The visit of Senator Hill to the White
House last Thursday night was the one
topic of conversation in political circles
Friday. The Senator, when questioned
about his presence at the Presidents
dinner table. steadily refused to discuss
the matter, and simply answered that he
went to the White House in social way.
1t is generally believed, however, that the
visit has some significance 1t has long
been cherished idea of Col. Lamont that

ent, and being thoroughly familiar with
great commercial interests would not al
low them to be injuriously affected.
The astute Secretary Lamont is. there
fore, credited with having suggested the
advsability of inviting Mr.. Hill. and it
was noticeable at the dinner last night
that Mr.. Lamont was especially agree
able to the Senator. He walked with him
up and down the parors, saw that he
was made acquainted with all the guests
and in every way contributed to the pleas
ure of his evening. The course of the
New York Senator will now be watched
with more than ordinary interest.

The train records show that there were

was sixty-nine fewer than were handled
at this point in the preceding week, when
the movement was considered exceedingly

STRICTLY MAINTAINED
OSCAR MURRAY's VIEW OF THE
FREIGHT RATE SITUATION.
To, He Says. There Is Danger i'm
the Futurc-Car Movement.

Oscar Murray, traffic manager of the Big
Four. and II. c. Parker, holding the same
position on the Lake Erie & Western are
of opinion that east-bound rates at Chi
cago. Peoria, st. Louis and Indianapolis are
being strictly maintained, but they look
with some anxiety to the present week.
East bound business is light, seldom having
been light in the last ten years. and the
temptations for line agent or even his su-
perior officer to cut rates are great, as ship
pers are not only pleading with the agents
for some favor in the way of rates, but
are threatening to never ship any more
business by their lines If the present firm
stand in rates is continued. On the other
hand, shrewd traffic managers like those
named know that the roads must get bet
ter rates than have prevailed much of the
as the money-borrowing limit has been
reached A belief prevails that could rates
be strictly adhered to through this month
the crisis would be passed and shippers
would see that efforts to break rates were
not as effectual in times past with the
weakened freight men, and aside from
all this the traffic manager or his subordi-
nate agent knows that under the agree
ment of the presidents his position depends
on his carrying business at full rates. So
long as this feeling prevails conservative
freight officials express the opinion that
there will be no shading of rates dis
elimination in favor of certain shippers. 1t
is thought that with the passage of the
act permitting pooling the question of di-
vision of business or troubles over rate mat
tiers will be adjusted.

up their search but no trace of the missing
child could be found. About 10 o'clock this
morning a party of searchers came across
a negro on the road near Mechanicsburg,
eight miles north of here. His answers to the
questions asked him were very unsatisfac-
tory and he was brought to this city and
lodged in jail His story was investigated
and found to be untrue. When confronted by

the officers pushed on in pursuit.
