THE DISPENSARY
Governor Elerbee, whose election was
due to a promise to. remove the metropoli-
tans from Charleston promise which he
| subsequently thought better of-seems de-
tcrmined to fight to the last ditch. Before
| his election he was not considered a dis
pensary advocate; but now he devotes the
greater part of his time to building men of
straw for the Federal Court to knock down.
He has staked his career on the metropoli-
tan police issue and will most probably
keep up the tight until the attorney general
calls a halt.
AS for Senator Tillman. he seems to take
the matter more to heart than any one else.
He was defiant as long as he thought there
were any hopes for his bill in Congress.
When it failed he came home, and for two
weeks has been making speeches in defense
or the institution, even threatening to re-
sign his seat in the Senate and run for
Governor again on the dispensary issue In
the course of his remarks he has been un-
sparing in abuse of the federal courts the
barkeepers. the preachers and the devil,
who he says are leagued against him. But
no one believes for all that that he has any
idea of running for Governor. and there are
not a few who would offer even money on
his defeat if he did. For he is not as strong
now as when he went to the Senate and the
risk would be too great TO run at this time.
Some say LndJ ne Will nave trouble IeIdln-
ing his seat when his term expires in 1900,
and his weakness is all traceable to the dis
pensary. To give an idea of how much
strength he has lost, no longer than two
years ago every candidate of the reform
faction boosted of his loyalty to Tillman.
Those who We're fortunate enough to re-
ceive his Endorsement considered ii equiv
alent to election. Now, of the five candf-
dates for the United States Senate stump
ing the State, not one refers to Tillman or
claims any credit for having supported him
Each seems to dread being considered I'LL
mans faVorte. Furthermore all discuss
the dispensary and metropolitan police
questions regardless of his views Time was
when such temerity would have meant GER
tain defeat.
Another class that will have cause to re-
gret the downfall of the dispensary system
is the blind tiger class. There were near
ly $50 blind tigers in Charleston alone, and
there is saying how many there were In
the State. Their profits were enormous and
their losses from seizures merely incidental.
One illicit dealer who ran wholesale bust
ness in Charleston claims to have had $4,000
worth of liquors seized from first TO last;
but says that he could well afford II with
profits such as he made Now he says the
original package houses are supplying his
customers. TO whom he sold at one time as
much as /, 700 gallons of whisky in a single
day. This occupation, like Othelo S, Is
gone, and a return to ordinary profits is not
welcome for all the show he made of light
ing the 0iSDCnS3TV.

lone does not hear anything now" says
the Indianapolis Journal about there not
being money enough to do the business of
the country Business has improved Won
derfully, and yet there is no complaint of
scarcity of money" Just wait until the
Populists have got in their other crops and
begin to sow resolutions again. Just wait
until the autumn winds sigh and sob with
resolutions about the scarcity of the cir
culating medium and the insufficient
amount Of circulation per capita No ar
ticle in the whole Populst dreambook is

therefore every man, woman and child
must have so much money. At least, there
must be some money which they could
have if they could get it," If business has
improved under existing conditions it would
have improved twice as much if there were
twice as much money. That is the theory.
However, some eminent authorities Demo-
cratic as well as Populist, attribute trusts,
and consequently all evil, TO the scarcity
of money. SO complaints about it VIII not
be wanting.

Prussian Railways.

Consul Monaghan, at Chemnitz, Ger
many. has sent to the State Department at
Washington report on Prussian railroads.
State ownership of railroads" he says,
plays an important part in Prussia's flnan-
cess Earning enormous sums, serving COM
merce and manufacturers in times of peace
and all strategic purposes in time of war,
they have more than justified the argu-
ments that urged the government to own
them and the liberal policy that have put
them down and pushed them out into all
parts of the empire" The receipts for 1885,
81 have gone beyond the estimate of the
budget of 1,020, 592, 400 marks and the esti-
mate for 1898 is LILO PIC, $50 marks, while
slightly more than two billion marks. After
giving statistics in some detail the consul
continues: NO other branch OF public prop
erty pays SO surely and so well. The GER
tainty of the receipts OF this size the ease
with which they are obtained, their cash
all the moneys turned into the public treas
ury. How successfully they are run in other
respects, whether better than they would
have been under private ownership, it is
hard to say. The state has held its hands
on the roads. from the very beginning. See
ing how successfully they would aid armies
and also how necessary they would be in
the development of the empire, Prussia did
not hesitate TO take the railroads over the
state. Their quasi public character has
helped THE people TO understand that they
should be controlled, at Least ii not owned
by the state. The tendency all over the
empire is towards state and city ownership
of all kinds of transportation facilities as
we'll as OF telegraphs, telephones and other
means of communication

History Repeating Itself.

Chicago Bonds and Mortgages.
The natural laws of trade and commerce
are asserting themselves and decidedly in
our favor. The cOnValescence promises ia

self The history of this country has been
that after seasons of great depression many
people lost their bearings and set up the
cry ANY port in a storm" A few years
ago the panacea for every financial ill was
greenbacks. Later a surplus in the treas
ury was said to be a danger which would
threaten our national life, and Cleveland
free trade was the slogan. Last year, after
so long a depression, free silver was de-
manded for the cure-all. The wisdom of
the American people. however, asserted it
self as it always has done. The nation was
danger has been safely passed. The people
have learned once more that the mere noise
of professional agitators cannot produce
prosperity, which is wholly dependent upon
the laws of supply and demand. With these
now in our favor. the change will be felt
by all and mark the beginning of new and
brighter era.

The Chicago and st. Louis lines are in
rough and tumble fight over the pooling of
passenger business and the equalization of
second-cIass traffic. The trouble has been
brewing for months, but it has been kept
from the public for the reason that the
pooling compact under which the roads
have been operating is declared to be lille
gal The Wisconsin Central, the Chicago
Great Western and the Minneapolis & st.
Louis have never been members of the pool
and the other lines have been making
heroic attempt to get along without them,
but in vain as the present trouble evidences.
The refusal OF the three named roads TO
join in the dividing business has been for
various reasons. The Great Western Will
Join in no pool, since the expose of the
Western freight pool, the Wisconsin Cen raj
refuses on the ground that the property is
in the hands of a receiver, and the Mime
apolis q St Louis would never consent to
the percentage allotted it. Under these cir
cumstances the three outside lines nave
been doing about as they pleased with rates
for the past three or four months. They
have allowed theatrical companies and
other organizations to make their own rates
and have secured the bulk of the special
business from the pooled roads. The meet
ing of the Chcago-St. Paul lines in Chicago
yesterday was for the purpose of inducing
the three incOrrig1bleS to come into the fold.
The conference was a stormy one and
ended with the outsiders still on the out
side. The Great Western absolutely refused
10 go INTO any pOOllllS al eliAs5
the two other roads agreed to join only
on condition. that they be allowed higher
percentages out of the total traffic and be
conceded the right to run cheap excursions
to make up possible deficiencies. COM
mttee. consisting of several passenger
agents of the Rock Island. the Minneapolis

Chicago Great Western was appointed to
further consider terms upon which the out
side lines would join the pool. The mem
bers of the compact say If the three outSid-
ers do not ultimately come into the ring

slashing that will force the three roads into

The cheap sunday Excursions.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
The railroad columns of the Journal in
nearly every Monday issue during the sum-
mer have borne witness to the great popu-
larity of the Sunday exclusion as evidenced
by the immense patronage; and yet, with
the public in general, the Sunday eXcur-
sion is not popular, probably never will be-
and should not be- for it is very potent
factor in ''profaning the Sabbath" By far
the greater percentage of patronage of the
Sunday excursion comes from those who
do not patronize the road on other days,
or in other WaVS. MANY for want of time
during the week, ard others for economic
reasons, Sunday travel being at a mere
normal figure. But is there not a danger
that these excursions may become too
popular for the general good and for the
best interests of the roads, well as the
public at large? Hundreds of mechanics
clerks, artisans and labOring men who visit
the cities on Sunday excursions are par
TALLY or wholly untitled for work on Mon
day, from the fact that instead of making
Sunday a day of rest, it is made a day of
hurry and hustle and excitement by many
and of revelry and dissipation on the part
of otfS RS.
Then. again if the roads persist in run
ming the Sunday excursion almost any
where for dollar, it will not be long until
the public demand for weekday excursions
at similar rates and to the same points,
will become so strong that the roads cannot
resist it. And it is right that it should come
10 1nlS. surely the CHRISTIAN people OF TINS
State, the shippers the business men, the
Sunday schOols-all the. thousands who
want to go somewhere and see something at
moderate cost and yet have conscience
against Sunday desecration, have a right
to demand equal rates and privilege with
those who continually make Sunday a day
of unrest The Sunday season is almost at
an end for the present summer, but it
would be well for railroad managers to give
these questions serious thought before an
other year for they are being discussed
throughout the country, and continual agi-
tation will sooner or later lead to united
action. FLEMING RATCLIFF.
