Since the tidal wave that swept the
republican city government out of power
in indianapolis and replaced it with
democrats by phenomenal majority
the republican press has been inventing
all manner of excuses to account for
and, as far as possible, mitigate the dis
aster.' Now comes the indianapolis
journal, one of the staunchest repub-
lican papers in the state, and gives the
truthful version of the affair in the fol-
lowing languge "lt is useless to deny
the fact that the local administration
has been very unpopular. Coming into
power on the crest of the tidal wave,
it goes out with Il very emphatic express
sion of popular disapproval. The is due
to what has been done and to the man
ner in which it has been done. The
laws might have been enforced and pub
lie improvements might have been Or
dered and carried out in way that mer-
tied approval, but they have been done
on lines that seem to have invited pop
ular condemnation. The enforcement
OF law has been made conspicuously and
unnecessarily odious,and the prosecution
OF public Improvements almost equally
50. The board of public safety have
strained at gnats and swallowed camels.
They have taken 'tithc of mint and
anise and cummin' and have omitted
Weightior matters of the law. They have
made an offensive and obnoxious parade
Of the performance of duty which might
! have been discharged with equal eff
cheney without any brass band accom-
paniment. The Athenians of old got
tired of hearing Aristides called THE
just and modern Americans get tired
OF too conspicuous parade of virtue. -
The facts as stated by the journal are
sufficient and its deductions contained
in the closing paragraphs can be read
with profit in many cities in the United
| States

REASONABLE PROPOSITION.

The city of Anaconda has decided to
erect city hall and from among the
competitive plans has accepted the one
presented by Architect Lane. The ac-
ceptance, however, was accompanied
with the following conditions: "And
that the said Charles Lane be required
to enter into the sum of SS25, 900 bonds
for the faithful performance of his con,
tract, and that the building SO planned
and specified by him may not cost when
completed more than the sum apprO-
priutcd therefor" This seems a just
and reasonable proposition, especially to
the city. 1t is too often the habit of
architects to draw plans, the carrying
out of which will cost far more than the
appropriation, and yet make their origi-
nal estimates come within the required
amount. In such cases, after the con-
tract has been awarded, extras will be
introduced that will make the contrac-
tor even. The system is radically wrong.
An architect who is paid for his work
should be able TO prepare plans that
will need no changes, and when public
enterprise is entered upon the public is
entitled to know just what it will cost.
The innovation made by the Anaconda
council in this instance, in requiring a
bond of the architect, is one that can be
followed with profit by every other com

The stockholders Of the Northern Pa
ciiic in person and by proxy met in New
York yesterday and elected directors
who in turn re elected Brayton Ives as
president. The feature of the occasion
was the reading Of a circular by MIR.
Ives in which he spoke Of the increased
earnings OF the road during the past
year, and followed this up with the state
ment that the road "if conducted on
strictly business basis cannot fail to
give returns to its security holders and
Il satisfactory service TO the states which
il traveIses.' This is true if it can be
accomplished, but can it be done? From
the time Of it's inception to the present
the Northern Pacific has been conducted
on any thing but Il business basis. Its
stock has been watored beyond reason
aud it has been bind of prey for
the successive managements An army
of lobbyists and attorneys at extravagant
salaries have been maintained at Wash
ington, and at the principal cities in the
states the road traverRes. 1t has sought
to dictate the politics and corrupt the
legislatures Of these statee. business
principles have never been Il factor in

they been the road would not now be
bankrupt and in the hands Of receivers.
That properly conducted the road can be
redeemed is certain, but is Mr.. Ives the
man TO do it? 1t is large contract and
one that will require exceptional ability

mado aud the man who makes them
must have courage and patience. Does
Mr.. ives possess these qualities!

high-sounding dispatch TO the members
of the order throughout the United

with the spirit or text Of the brief docu-

nance With the supposed duties of a

hostility rather than peace. Besides this

Without giving any authority for the

dict was that il Was productive of much

consideration decided that Roman Cath

church has certainly taken step that
will not be indoreed by the masses Of

anything they are of the opinion that the

The political situation in Utah is be-
coming interesting. Up to the time
that the enabling act was passed the
prevalent belief was that the democrats
were in the maiurity. Since the consti-
tuition has been formulated and candi-
dates nominated there is a serious sus
picion that by some hocus pocus the re
publicans have made an alliance oil'cn-
siVc and defensive with the rulers Of the
morlnon church. This is in the nature
of u surprise. The leaders of the church
deny it, but the democrats insist that it
is true. While it was to have been OK
pected that Utah would be baptized
into the union in democratic robes, if
it is ordered otherwise there is at least
one satisfaction to those Of us who may
suffer by that disappointment. No
matter what the political complexion Of

A LETTER FROM THE POPE.
Religious Congresses in the United
states Condemned.


Chicago, Oct. 1.-THE main subject of
consideration at the recent assemblage of
Catholic prelates in Washington was a
letter from the pope, condemning relig-
ious congresses. At that time it's text was
kept secret.
The document is written in Latin and
addressed to Mgr. Satolli. 1t reads as fol-
lows:
Venrable Brother, Health and the Apos-
tolic Benediction.
We have learned that in the United
States of America, conventions are some
times held, in which people assemble pro-
mscuously, Catholics as we'll as those of
other denominations, to treat upon relig-
ion as well as upon correct morals In this
we recognize the desire for religious
things by which this people IS animated
more zealously from day to day. But al
though these promiscuous conventions
have unto this day been tolerated with
prudent silence ii would nevertheless seem
advisable that the Catholics should hold
their conventions separately, and that lest
the utility of these conventions should re-
suit simply to their own benefit, they
might be called with this understanding
that admittance should be open to all,
also to those who are outside of the Cath
olic church.
our apostolic office, Venrable brother, to
bring this to your attention, We are also
pleased to promote by our recommenda-
tions the practice of the Paulist Fathers,
who prudently think fit to speak public
ly to our dissenting brethren both in or
der to explain Catholic doctrines and to an
swer any objections presented against
such doctrines.
If every bishop in his own diocese will
promote this practice and a frequent at
tendance at these sermons it will be pleas
ing and acceptable to us, for we are con-
fident that not a small benefit for the well
fare of souls will arise therefrom.
t-1.a IN IN hn mi q
BILE ethren, the gifts of Divine grace, we
impart to you with the most loving spirit
the apostolic benediction, a proof of our
special love.

FREIGHT RATES IN DIXIE.
Representatives of the Southern
Roads Again in Session.

New York, Oct. 17-There was another
meeting of the representatives of the
southern lines at the Hotel Waldorf to-
day for the purpose of making a supreme
and final effort to form the proposed
Southern States Freight Association. The
session began shortly before II o'clock,
and although the special conference COM
mittee had reported that it had failed IN
its efforts to induce the South Carolina
and Georgia roads, as well as the Clyde
Line, to sign the agreement, the intima-
ton was made that the opposing lines
would change their attitude on certain
conditions. When the representatives as
sembled to-day general sentiment pre-
vailed that an association would be form
ed before the close of the day.
The first evidence of this long-desired
turn of affairs was furnished when Cen
eral Manager Scott of the Georgia railroad
addressed the meeting. He delivered a
very emphatic address, in which he out
lined the objections of his company with
regard to becoming a member of the asso-
citation. He caused quite a stir by an
nouncing that provided reasonable guar
antees were assured, his company, as well
as the other companies, would change
their position and would join the associ-
alton. Mr.. Thomas specified the guaran-
tees he wanted and the meeting proceeded
to discuss the proposition.
