quite a number of people begin
taking a paper of some kind at the
first of the year, we believe this is
an oppor,une time to "toot our
own horn" a little.
First, then, we will say that
The COUNTY RECORD is the paper
!of the people, for the people, and
with the people. 1t is honest in
motive, fearless in expression and
answering in its allegiance to
right theories and right practices.
Second, THE COUNTY RECORD
publishes ALL the news ALL the
lime, but it does not allow its
,~llnms to be degraded by unclean.
Immoral or purely sensational
matter. Editorially, THE COUNTY
RECORD is the consistent and un-
changing champion and defender
Of popular rights and interests
against wrong and oppression Of
every character. Independent in
all things, extreme in none. 1t is
for good laws, good government
and good order.
TIE CouSrY RECORD not only
prints all the county news, but
covers the entire State and the
whole world. Nothing Of interest
is omitted. 1t is unsurpassed as
afamily newspaper. Every issue
coataias, In addition to home, State
and worldwide news, short
stores, fashions, jokes, and var
ious high-class miscellaneous ar
ticles-a variety of interesting
and selected instructive matter
and other feat ures, which make it
! welcSms visitor in town and
coantry homes alike.
As an evidlhce of The CouarY
REcoRD's growing popularity We
will say that We now have nearly
TWICE the circulation that was
enjoyed by the paper when We
took hold Of It last March. This
is no .packed" circulation, either.
Es cry name on, our mail list is a
bona fide. SUBSCRIBER, and all new
names have been voluntary on
the part of the subscriber. We
have never forced the paper upon
anyone. nor do, we want anyone
TO take it. who does not believe

The City,s shipping FnciIitie..

Freight officials of outside roads who come
to Indianapolis in search of business are
on their first visit greatly surprised at the
extent of the industries of the city and their
variety, but fully as much surprised at
the facilities the roads centering here offer
local shippers. They go to any industry of
Importance and find private switch so
located as to load or unload cars with ease
and promptness, and, on inquiry find that
where an Indianapolis shipper pays one dol
lar for a car placed on his side track. the
charge at Chicago and other points for like
service would be two dollars. and where the
switching charge, owing to greater dis
lance. Is two dollars at Indianapolis it is
five dollars at most railroad centers. An
other thing which impresses the foreign
freight representative is the promptness
with which indianapolis agents place cars
for loading, often in two to three hours after
the order is sent in, while at most points
like Chicago and st. Louis, if a car ia
placed in position in twenty-four to fortv
eight hours the service is thought to be
quite satisfactory. The Belt road and the
heavy business done over It IS another noint
winch 1mpresseS representatives of foreign
roads with the facilities Indiananolis nre-
sents; The moving around the city Of $500
10 S,OO0 cars per day, without Interfering
with the passenger service on the Union
tracks, is a genuine surprise, and. as a
rspresentatlye of an Eastern line said, the
shippers of Indianapolis, with the Belt road
ana 26l private switches leading to the vari-
GUS industries, did not properly appreciate
lnelr great advantages, and while at other
points rates might be cut more than at In
olanapons, In the way of handling traffic
promptly and in the matter of low switching
charge indianapolis led all other points A
local freight agent who heard the CONVEX
satlon SAID that in the last few months rem
resentatives of foreign roads had been com
ing mere to look for business in much larger
numbers than ever before and the comne-
ution in all directions Indianapolis lines

man, the Canadian Pacific, the 500 line.
the southern Railway and the Boston 81,
Albany have sent freight officials here to
secure business-lines which have never be-
Tore paid any attention directly to indiana
apolls as a shipping point, and in each case

JUDGES AND STATESMEN
REPUBLICANS WILL NOMINATE A
FULL COMPLEMENT TOMORROW.
List of the Candidates-Plenty of
Good Timber ON Hand-The Pri-
maries Tonight.

The convection tomorrow at Tomlinson
Hall to nominate Republican county candi-
dates for judicial and legislative offices
seems to be causing little excitement. There
is quiet determination to nominate the
men among those who have asked for the
nominations who seem to be best fitted for
the positions Judge Carter, of Room g. Su-
perior Court, will not be disturbed. He has
no candidate running against him. Judge
McMaster, of Room /, has as a rival Will
liam Pirtle Herod. 1t is conceded that it
will be close race between the two. Mr..
Herod is one of the most promising young
lawyers of the city, and is regarded as one
who would make an excellent judge. Judge
McMaster has the advantage of more ex-
perience than his rival. During his four
years on the bench he has served with high
honor. and has the respect of the Marion
county bar, his colleagues and the commu-
nifty at large.
The candidates for judge Of Room are
John E. Scott. w. f. Browder and James
M. feathers. Judge Harvey, who has SAT-
on the bench in this room for four years,
announced that he would not be a candi-
date for denomination. He has held this
decision firmly. though he has been urged
on all sides to become candidate. 1t was
stated lHdl MS denomination anu re-SleCIlOn
would be assured. He desires to return to
the practice of law. The esteem in which
he is held by the bar is shown in that
those who expected to become candidates
for the office went to Judge Harvey and
told him that if he desired to again run
for the Office they would not enter the race
for the nomination. He assured them that
his determination not to be candidate re-
manned unchanged.
Present Judge McCray, Deputy Prose
cutor Afford, George w. Stubs and Will
liam Watson Woollen are the candidates for
the nomination for judge of the Criminal
Court.
A warm campaign is being conducted by
the various candidates for the nominations
by the legislative convention. Up to date
over twenty candidates have beeen an
nounced, all of them more or less prominent
in the business life of indianapolis. Among
those who are actively working for NOM
nations to the seven places at the disposal
of the convention are the following: T. B.
Lynn and Oliver M Murphy, of the First
ward; Ambrose Moore, of the Second; A. M
Glossbrenner and Charles Brown, colored,
OF the Fourth; Robert Bruce Bagby, col
ored, OF the Fifth; James W. Noel of the
sixth; Joshua Zimmerman and Dr. W. H.

Meets with opposition.

The revised freight tariff which the trans
portation lines propose to put in effect
June %, decreasing the rate on carload lots
from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast and
greatly increasing the rate on shipments
of less than carload lots, has led the mer-
chants in the Middle and Eastern States
to make bitter protest against what they
consider an unreasonable step, and one
which will cause large loss to the whole
sale merchants of st. Louis, Chicago and
all cities in the Missouri and Mississippi
river valleys and Central Traffic Associa-
ton points. Commissioner Vanlandfgham,
Of the St. Louis Traffic Association, makes
the following explanation of the proposed
advance in transcontinental rates: THE
freight tariff, which will become effective
June IS to California and Pacific coast ter
minalS. was issued to satisfy the demands
of few large jobbers of San Francisco,
Los Angeles, Portland and Pacific coast
seaboard cities, regardless of the protests
of st. Louis. Chicago. Milwaukee and other
interested interior cities. more unjust,
never issued 1t is not only unjustly dis
manufacturers of st. Louis, Chicago and
the entire Mississippi valley, but will large
ly increase the cost TO every retail dealer
and consumer west of the Rocky mountains
and for no other purpose than to enable
a few Pacific coast jobbers to make a large
profit on their goods The tariff is not only
unjust but il is in many of its phases un-
lawful and should be contested by those
injured"

TONNAGE STILL HEAVY
LOCAL ROADS CARRYING A GOOD
BUSINESS AT TARIFF RATES.
Merchants and Manufacturers OPP
posed to Advance In Rates to Trans
continentaI-Line Points.

eff rates were restored to tariff on May 30,
as freight officials claim they were'' said
conservative general freight agent, cit is
certainly worthy of note that business con-
tinues heavy beyond precedent for June,
and, in fact, for any month preceding the
fall of 1897. Up to that period at the busiest
time 10000 loaded cars handled in any one
week was considered the maximum, while
last week, with rates at tariff, there were
received and forwarded at Indianapolis 27279
cars, 20.5e0 being loaded, 3.405 more loaded
cars than were handled at Indianapolis in
the corresponding week of 1897, 4,42S more
than in 1885, 3O25 more than in 1885, 1896
more than in the corresponding week of 1894,
plainly demonstrating that the roads, if
they will stand together, can carry business
at paying rates. All roads are doing heav-
Ter business than in June, 1897, the north
and-south lines showing proportionate in
creases with east-and-west lines. There Is
still a heavy movement of grain and grain
products especially for export, the lower
ocean rates helping somewhat. Shipments
East of oats, hay and straw of late have
been unusually large, and a large tonnage
of provisions is now going forward for ex-
port. Shipments of dressed meats and live
stock are averaging well with June of last
year, but are not as heavy as in May. Re-
frigerator cars for carrying perishable
freight are in large demand. West-bound
the tonnage continues heavy for summer
month, the shipments being largely to
Southwestern points, with an unusually
heavy transcontinental line business. North
and-south business was never heavier, is
quite equally divided, and, it is said, is car
ried at much better rates than east-and-
west business. The coal-carrying roads of
this State and others are moving large
quantities of coal for a summer month
Harvest machinery, engines and threshers
are an important item in the traffic moving
just now, and at no time in years have
shipments of rails and railway supplies been
as heavy as at present Local business is
at its maximum. Merchants and manufac-
turers are large shippers. The commission
houses are enjoying a business equal to that
or 1872. The stock yards and packing houses
are still doing a large business, and ship
ments of miscellaneous freights are seldom
heavier than at present. Local freight
agents, without exception, report their bus
mess highly satisfactory, and the outlook
for heavy fall traffic very promising. Be-
low is given the car movement for the week
ending June IL, and for the corresponding
weeks of 1897 and 1896:

Supplies for the Army.

One matter for congratulation is the
strictness with which the commissary de-
partment deals with the contractors who
are furnishing supplies for the volunteers.
Every carload that arrives is subjected to
the most careful inspection, and if any of
the food supplies are the least faulty they
are rejected at once. During the civil war,
in the rush and hurry of equpping the
armies of the United States, and in pro-
vi1ing supplies for the troops opportunities
occurred for the preparation of the most
that the supplies were frequently so poor as
to be entirely unfit for food. The men at
the head of the subsistence department here
are extremely careful, and although hun
dreds of trainloads have been shipped to
this point, none of the supplies have been
accepted that were not fully up to the re-
qurements and specifications. Only a few
days ago an entire carload of potatoes was
rejected and the bags were dumped out near
the railroad platform at Lyle because some
of the potatoes had spoiled.
A striking feature of life at the camp is
the presence of the large number of mem
hers of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton. This. great organization was not in
work that il is doing in the camp is nesti-
mable. Through the influence OF this or
ganization many of the regiments have been
prevailed upon to eliminate the canteen
where liquors are dispensed, and as a result
drunkenness is rare among the men of those
regiments IT is a noticeable fact that where
there is a Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton tent erected within the limits of a camp
the men take a pride in the cleanliness Of
the streets and tents throughout the en-
campment.

A restraint of the press in the present
crisis, amounting TO a practical muzzling
is a measure as unwise as IL is unjust The
people OF the country are naturally at a
high tension regarding the war, and depend
on the press to give them the facts. An ar
bltrary interference with the presss legit-
innate mission must inevitably have a bad
result in the present state of suspense. A
spirit Of public restlessness is apt TO develop
serious results. II breeds suspicion, resent
ment and. perhaps, antagonism when the
people should be as a unit at the authori-
ties, back. II is not wise to publish every
strategic detail broadcast but the other
extreme OF absolute reticence verges on
naoharchical Indifference TO the undoubted
popular rights in the case.

Umpire Cantillon's kindness to Mcfarland

on Mac, and the third ball was square over
the rubber. Anticipating the decision, Mac
dropped his bat and was turning to the
bench when Cantillon called out Ball The
next one came square over, too, and Mac
lined out double, and then Deadly hit the
next one for single and Mac came home
with the only earned run of the game. Fish
