who have conducted their private affairs
successfully, and there is no reason to be-

discretion in this public business as they
would in their personal matters, considering
their environments They are not at liberty

NO ROOM FOR COMPLAINT
THE LOADED-CAR MOVEMENT EX-
CEEDs THAT OF FORMER YEARS.
Good Results Looked for from the Re-
cent Conference of the Presidents
of the Trunk Lines.

The train records show that there were
received and forwarded at Indianapolis in
the week ending June a total of 1852
cars, the largest total movement of the
year. OF the number handled 1879 were
loaded, an increase of 439 over the preceding
week, 3,2l4 more than in the corresponding
week of 1896, and 1,056 more than in the
corresponding week of 1895. From this
statement it will be seen that the Indian
apolis lines are at present doing more than
at the corresponding period of former
years and that, were rates what they
should be, the eaGning exhibits would give
no room for complaint. The unusually
large movement of empty cars west indi-
Gates that there will be a still further i'm
provement. 1t should be borne in mind
that in years past the tonnage of February
and June has been the lightest of any
months in the year. a large percentage of
the increase in business last week was
with the Pennsylvania lines, which seem,
in the last few weeks, to have suffered in
their business more than other lines, the
Big Four lines having shown favorable ex-
hibits from week to week. All lines are
showing heavy business as at the CORE
spending period last year. The gains are
made chiefly by the Pennsylvania and the
Big Four, and largely in through business,
which is not in any special line of freights.
miscellaneous in character, grain, dressed
meats and live stock being important items,
Still the shipments of produce, fruits and
vegetables are forming no small part of the
business. Not in years have shipments of
provisions been as heavy in June. West
bound business begins to show an increase
in the loWer-class freights. North-and-south
roads are proftting through the heavy ship
ments of fruits and vegetables to Northern
markets and south bound the shipments of
machinery and harvesting implements are
large. In no line of freignts has there
been so much increase as in shipments of
furniture. With each week local business
is improving at the city freight depots and
on the bulk tracks. Below is given the
car movement of the week ending June
and for the corresponding periods of 1896
and 1895:

Wants All That 1t Can Handle.


Eastern papers are discussing the results
likely to follow the meeting last week in
New York of the presidents of the trunk
lines with the receivers of the Baltimore
& Ohio and the efforts made to bring about
better understanding. The Baltimore Sun
says: ut is believed that a better feeling
among the trunk lines will result from the
meeting and the position of the Bal
timore & Ohio Railroad become better un-
derstood. The heavy increase in the New
York business of the Baltimore & Ohio
has greatly disturbed the other lines, and
pressure has been brought to bear from
many quarters to induce the management
to bring the volume of this business nearer
the old percentage allotment of IA 1t has
been the aim of the receivers to secure all
business that the extensive improvements
recently introduced would enable the road
to handle with facility. This percentage al
lotment was considered unfair. having been
established at a time when the physical
condition of the road prohibited it from
taking it's proper share of the competitive
business out of New York. Owing to in
ferior terminals, lack of cars and motive
power during the heavy tonnage movement,
which made 1885 a banner year for rail-
roads, 1t is said that considerable traffic
was alienated from the Baltimore e. Ohio
because 1t was unable to take care of it,
The improvements being made by the
Baltimore & Ohio receivers are to some
extent recognized by the other trunk lines
as emitting the Baltimore & Ohio to an
increased tonnage, but it was suggested
at the conference that the management
wait until the improvements were COM
pleted before attempting to increase bust
ness. This suggestion the receivers of the
Baltimore & Ohio rejected as impracticable,
their ideas being that good business iudg-
ment demanded that every effort should be
made to increase the earning power of the
property as the improvements progressed

Quarantine or Anti-Toxin Needed.

TO the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
L see that Mr.. Bryan is still suffering
from that epidemic of scriptural quotation
which broke out in the Democratic ranks
last fall. L had hoped that it was like the
measles, which one could have but once,
but with Mr.. Bryan it seems to have be-
come chronic. He shows, however not only
his lack of deXterity in handling these Bible
texts, but proves how incompatible are
Scripture and Democracy by his illogical
application and by distorting holy writ to
the point of sacrilege. In his speech at
Tomlinson Hall to prove his view of BIZ
metallism he said: What God has Joined
together-what he Joined together in the
mountains let no man put asunder' God
has not united gold and silver in the noun
tain. They are wide apart, are not only in
separate veins but in different mountains,
which, II IL proves anything, proves their
inequality which no legislation can over
come, Ii he would follow the analogy it
really proves too much for free silver gold
and silver each being joined in their ore
with sulphur or rock or other substance in
closer bonds than those matrimonial. hence
according to Mr.. Bryan, since it is God 5
hand which so joins them, the smelters and
retiners are defamers of Gods purpose 1t
may be- however, that His refusal TO sep
arate silver from its sulphurous ore is the
cause of those choking FUMES rising from
the Democratic camp.
Mr.. Bryan gave the Keynote to the
Democracy for the campaign last fall when
with sacriegious cry which would have put
TO shame that Jewish riot in Pilates hall
he hung out TO that bowling mob that most
sacred scene on the pages of human history
the crucinXion. Every Democratic whip
persnapper and popgun orator caught the
note and echoed in ignorant disgraceful
and sacrilegious reiteration scriptural quo
tation ad nauseam So Mr.. Bryan, seeing
how the venture did take. again attempts
Scripture. Alas for American oratory,
Alas, for the Intelligence that will patiently
suffer SUCH II may be- however like the
SCOOTER who, when death comes, asks for the
Bible verse or the minister whom he has
scorned TO help him over the crisis. This
all may be but the dying struggle of the
Democratic party To be reconciled TO
righteousness before final dissolution.
