Consider the Denver Newspaper and
Department store Dispute.

The Southern Indiana Press Association
held its seventeenth semi-annual meeting
in the Statehouse yesterday. The pro-
gramme of the meeting consisted of the
presidents address, by A. S. Chapman, of
the Madison Democrat; a paper on the
subject oft"The Newspaper as a Business
by j. w Marsh, of the Columbus Times;
one on the subject of the Relation of
Newspapers to the Public" by Louis Holt
man, of the Brazil Democrat one on the
Loud Bill" by Royel E. Purcell, of the
Vincennes Sun; one on Advertising
Agents" by Jay c. Smith, of the Spencer
Republican, and one on the ''Write-up
Man." by w. w. Aiken, of the Franklin
Star
The attendance at the meeting was not
large and the session did not last long. The
leading discussion arose over the night now
going on between the department stores and
newspapers at Denver, and a resolution
was prepared on the subject, but after
wards withdrawn. This resolution con-
tanned the following sentence: I'VE believe
that a submission of the newspapers to the
department stores would mean the degra-
dalton Of the American press and the Amer
lean people, and would be precedent dam
gerouS to the free institutions of America
The officers elected were; j. w. Cockrum,
of the Oakland City Journal, president
Major Simpson, of the Paoli News record
ing secretary; b. A. Remy of the Seymour
Republican, financial secretary, and Royal

Passenger rates from points in the ter
ritory of the Western Passenger Association
to Texas are in a bad state of demoraliza-
tion and as matters now stand there are
few trains run into that territory at the
present time that are paying expenses of
operation. The Generalization is laid by
the association lines at the door of the
Pttsburg & Gulf, against which all sorts of
charges are mace oy IT'S competltors. One
carrying passengers for nothing after they
had been secured by another road. 1t is
said to subordinate all things to. its policy
souri,, Kansas & Texas, which is not SO
deeply interested in that territory as the
Pittsburg 4 Gulf, Is making hard fight
northern connections of both roads are suf-
fering but are powerless in the matter.

GAMERS TALK OF A TRUST.
1T Was the JObbers Who Made the
Profits Last Year.

The Indiana State earning Association
held its annual meeting al the Grand Ho-
tel yesterday. The Gamers are not salts
fed over the prices they obtained last year.
Owing to the custom of selling on early
contracts nearly all the stock of the can
neries was sold at low figures early in the
year, and the subsequent advance in prices
benefited the jobper but not the Gamer
a disposition was manifested in the meet
ing to wait for the market hereafter before
disposing Of stock, but many of the smaller
concerns demurred TO this. An effort was
made to take preliminary steps for the for
nation of a canning trust that would con-
troll the output and fix the prices, but not
much encouragement was given to the prop
osition. Only about half of the canneries
in the State We're represented at the meet
ing. Officers We're elected as follows: N. S.
Morris, Upton, president; w. A. Sampson
Muncie. SecretarN and treasurer.

HIGH KICKING AT BELLEVUE.
One of Sights "A Witness Saw at This
ROadhOuHe.

Some lively testimony is being brought
out in the suit of Henry Leonard against
the proprietor of the Bellevue roadhouse,
now on trial in Room 3, Superior Court
Judge Carter has several times cautioned
the audience against an inclination to laugh
over the testimony of witnesses, and finally
had to declare that the room would be
cleared at the next outburst. One witness
gave some rather spicy evidence in regard
TO the conduct of some of the people who
visit the resort. This witness was once
greatly diverted by the sight of a young
woman clad in silken skirts, who took up a
position in the barroom and attempted TO
Kick the hats from the heads of the men
who stood about.

WHEELS AS BAGGAGE.

IL is no more than natural that the
 question of carrying bicycles by rail- roads should be considered from a diff ferent point of view by the wheelmen than by the companies. The secretary Of the L. A. w. has prepared a brief covering the question from his stand point that is, regarding bicycles as baggage-a commodity which, by loEg usage at least and up to a certain amount, railroads expect to carry with out charge, in consideration ,ef the pur- chase of a nsportatioGIficke by it's owner. MT. Bassett states that at the present time 1855 American railroads are carrying bicycles as baggage, some Of ,heS9~TOluctarily and some after compulsicn by the courts. On the Pennsylvania system the voluntary method was adopted, while the presi- dent Of the Long Island railroad is quoted as saying that, as he regards the wheelmen among his most profit able customers, he is desirCus of en- coura ging, rather than discouraging their travel over his line The ground is taken in this Statemcn cnt that if 1t pays a railroad to carry Saratoga trunks and theatrical scenery as bag gage, it certainly should be profitable to carry twenty-five pound bicycles as such, and that, although these wheels will not admit of being thrown around by baggage handlers, there should be little trouble experienced, under req sonable handling, in delivering them to their owners in as satisfactory a condition as they were Whsn received. .Roston Herald.

 That is to say, Hawardel castle be- comes from henceforth the home Of the Hon.

Herbert Gladstone and Of the Rev. and Mrs. Harry Drew. with their little daughter Dorothy Drew, the fa- vorite grandchild of the Grand Old Man. The Rev. Stephen Gladstone, be- ing the rector Of the parish of Hawar- den, will, of course, remain in the es- tate.
 But I doubt whether there will be as much cordiality and intercourse be- tween the castle and the rectorate as in the days of yore. It is probable that from henceforth and for the remainder Of her days, Mrs. Gladstone will make her home in London wIIn her son Her bert, and cared for and nursed by her unmarried daughter, Helen.-Washing ton Post.

Now that the campaign is over and our democratic contemporaries no longer have any excuse for ignoring facts that conficted with their ante election declarations perhaps they will be willing to take up the report of the director Of the mint and tell us what they think about his figures showing that Arizona produced more silver than gold last year. That report was printed in the Republican but not a democratic papsr in the territory saw fit. to notice it, although we directed their attention to il. It showed that Arizona stands sixth in the list of gold and silver producing states and that nearly S3,O00,000 worth of silver came from this territory in 1897. Surely such an important showing should rot be ignored by free silver advocates.
