Southern Pacific Road Compromises Its Franchise Controversy in
 Kentucky.

FRANKFORT, Ky, March 21-The Southern Pacific Company's attorneys have talked the State officials into com promising the suit for franchise taxes, and instead of the State receiving $50 ,0OO or S60000 annually, as was first insisted on it will receive only the paltry sum of $5200 The State Auditor received a check to-day for $22 900 for franchise taxes since 1894 and an agreement has been reached for the company to pay S5200 annually hereafter. This evidently ends the whole case. as the Legislature will never agree to repeal the charter of company that pays $5000 q year into the State treasury.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
WARSAW, Ind, Oct. 2.-Some months ago
the firm OF Reub Williams & Son, of this
city, proprietors and publishers of the
Northern Indianian, Mr.. Williams, ST., hav-
ing been with the paper from it's start, in
1856, until the present time, determined to
give a number of valuable prizes to induce
subscribers who were in arrears to pay up
and yesterday the presents were assigned
by a committee appointed for the purpose.
1t was the largest demonstration that has
been seen here for years notwithstanding
the fact that it raining early in the
morning and a drizzle continued all day
long. The town of Warsaw was full of
people, showing clearly the popularity of
the Northern Indanian, one of the oldest
journals in this section of the State, the
Oldest, in fact, under the same management
of any in the West. A basket picnic was
advertised to take place at Lakeside Park,
on the edge of town, and the occasion was
an enjoyable one, every one present enter
ing into the spirit of the affair and the day
was one that the old pioneers and early set
tiers of the county will long remember. The
business men of the place were surprised
at the attendance there being not less than
four thousand people in town. The presents
gave excellent satisfaction and the its
success was very great. 1t was. in fact, an
old settlers picnic. having for it's object the
squaring up of old accounts with news
paper that has served the people of the
county for forty-five years.

FARMERS PROTEST.
National Grange Officers Speak Before
the International Commission.


The international joint high commission,
which is composed of commissioners from
the United States and Canada, is now in
session in Quebec for the purpose of con-
s1dering treaty relations between this coun-
try and Canada, more especially along COM
merclaI lines, and the proposition from the
CANADIANS is for commercial reciprocity be-
tween the two countries, which would ad-
nit Canadian lumber, live stock and all
farm products free of duty, much to the
detriment of the lumber and farming inter
National Master Aaron Jones and Chair
man n. j. Bachelor of the executive COM
mittee, representing the National Grange,
appeared before the committee at Quebec
and entered a vigorous protest against any
change in the existing tariff conditions be-
tween the two countries, justly claiming
that these conditions are now quite salts
factory to the farmers of the United States.
After the hearing National Master Jones
is reported to have said:
We speak for all the farmers of every
State of the Union, and in all of the States
they are opposed to any change being made
in the present duties on agricultural
products TIE agricultural Industry repre-
sents about so per cent. of the population of
the country and produces annually about
60 per cent. of the total wealth of the
country. This interest should not be
sacrificed. l have official expressions from
all States in the Union, and all are opposed
to changing in any manner the duties now
imposed on Canadian agricultural products.
This is as true of the Western, Southern,
Central and New England States as of the

procity treaty, and in that treaty they want
the duty on Canadian barley, eggs, vege-
tables, fruits and other products removed.

grange has been called to be held in Con-

question is settled before that time it will
be taken up there.
For many years the farmers of the United
States have not been so well satisfied with
conditions they now. They are salts
fled with the Dingley tariff law 1t is,
and they desire to see it tested for longer
period before changing it. Even the farm
ers who believe in free trade say that if
they must have a protective system they
believe under the present system the farm
ers are faring better than most of the other
industries. We have been told that certain
manufacturing interests in the United
States have asked for commercial reciproc-
ity with Canada, but so great an interest as
that of agriculture should not be sacrificed
for some less important manufacturing in

concludes with long TRADE of abuse of the
United States in which ignorance and con-
ceit are wonderfully mixed.
Such is Japan. THE eyes of the world are

natural that to the Japanese editor his coun-

her army and navy entitle her to a voice in
questions relating to her immediate sur
roundings. This, however, is no excuse for
the little brown man to imagine himself the
superior being of his fancy, an assumed po-
sition which renders him both ridiculous and

were very menacing. Major Marchand came
to the waters edge to meet the Sirdar and
chatted amicahly with him. The French
man produced some champagne and drinks
were had all around.
