REPUBLICANS RALLY.
A Housing Reception Accorded to the
 Nominees of the Popular Party.

It was a rousing rally, that at Mangels Hall on Twenty-fourth and Folsom streets last night, where the Republicans met under the auspices of the Twenty third and Thirty-fifth Assembly districts. The hall was, as is usual with all Repub- lican meetings, crowded to the doors long before the hour set apart for the arrival of the speakers. Captain George A Raabe, an old and stanch Republican, had the honor of presiding at the meeting.
 Without any loss of time or evidence of a desire to hear himself speak he intro duced Judge c. A. Low as the first speak CT of the evning. The Judge made a few remarks and gave way to Attorney A. P. Black. who. appeared for the Republican nominees for the Supreme bench. MT. Black Is the escort and introducer of the Ladies Quartet, as also their accompanist on the cornet. The ladies who favor the party nominees are Ellen Coursen- Roeckel, Miss Elena Roeckel, Mrs. H. Lewis and Miss May Maybie. They were we'll received and sang their campaign se- lections well. During the brief remarks by MT. Black, Charles L. Patton entered the hall and was accorded a rousing recep- ton. He proceeded to the rostrum and made one of his telling and vote-catching short addresses; pTaising the Republican platform and pointing out to his hearers that clause that so forcibly comes home to every man who has to work by the day. namely. that eight hours shall constitute days labor and no less than S2 shall be paid to any laborer. He said that if elected to the office of Mayor he 
 pal government as is in his power to do. He will count the peoples money and see that none of 1t is "hefted'' away by dis honest Treasurer. No political boss or corporation owns or controls him. The nomination for Mayor came to him with out his seeking it. He favors the new charter and will do all in his power to see that it is ratified by the Legislature whether he is elected or not
 H N Clement, nominee for Superior Judge, made a short address. Hon w F. Fitzgerald the present Attorney General met with a warm reception and delivered one of his forcible short addresses He sDoke a kind word for all the nominees Including the popular nominee for Rail- road Commissioner, c. S. Laumeister. D. I. Murphy nominee for District Attor- ney, has the faculty of pleasing an audi ence and winning its friendship before he gets fairly started. His review of the platform and the personnel of the nom inees caught the voters to certainty. The everywhere popular Henry S. Martin brought the house down, as the saving goes on his appearance in the body of inc hall. His reception on the platform was one that any citizen might well feel nroud of If men vote as they cheer Henry Martin will be the next Sherif. Al C Berthier, nominee for Recorder. has no occasion to be jealous of any of his companions in the race for office. as he certainly net with warm welcome iron, fhe voters of the Mission. His address was short and to the point.

The Disciple of Jefferson Points Out the Impossible Union of the op- position and Deplores Dem

The Democracy Of Thomas Jefferson. the Democracy of history and of all time, stood forth last evening at Met ropolitan Temple to repudfate the de- Vious Democracy of the present day that has usurped the name but forgot the principles of the old standard, and to subject it to vivisection that the half thousand people who had come to hear might also see it's abnormal parts and appendages.

The Democratic Central Club held it's regular meeting last evening at Py- thian Castle.
 It was an unusual meeting as meet ings go. For a short quarter hour it was lifted from the sin-murked sphere of politics to the plane of Holy Church and Edward L. Fitzgerald stepped into the confessional.
 In plain words and without qualifica- ton he pleaded guilty to the incontro- Yertible charges that have been made against him by The Call, and threw himself upon the mercies and sympa- thies of his friends in an appeal to see him through to victory for the sake of that love that man hath for man. "
 MT. Fitzgerald was not announced on the evenings programme as one of those who were to speak. He came un- heralded and of his own volition. It had been much the usual meeting up to his arrival. A number of speakers had entertained the audience. Charles Eidelman had confessed to being a friend of Judge Mcguire and told hu- morously how he and ''Tarpey" had ex- hausted all of the available supply of steam beer in discovering that MT. Ma guire would carry the Thirty-first Dis trict. And he had been followed by others.
 FitzgeraIds arrival was announced by the warm greeting to which he later alluded. He was escorted to the speak CTS stand by a half dozen of the most enthusiastic of the audience.
 T thank you from my heart" said he, flor the warmth of the greeting that you have given me. It means friendship; and friendship and nothing else will elect me now.
 Things hayebeen said to and Of me and things are often said of us-that I cannot deny. Upon friendship and the love that man has for man I must rely for victory.
 T am in a predicament that no other nominee has found himself in. and I want to say to you now that only such friendship as you have shown me to- night will make my election possible"
 The door of the confessional slammed behind MT. Fitzgerald at this point and for the balance of his speech he dealt in what is technically known as gilt tering generalities. He laid bouauets upon the altar of this new-found love that constitutes his last resort and tossed others at the chairman and most of the members of the club. If friendship was to take reputation's place as an inducement to election Fitzgerald did not intend to let any of it get away.

"TOung China"
New York Post.


A Shanghai correspondent calls attention
to new developments in Chinese journalism.
1t is sign of the general discomfort and
presentiment of change in China that ma
tive press advocating reforms in govern
ment should have sprung up within few
years past. Some of these papers are con-
Quoted by the lterati under the patronage,
tacit or avowed, of enlightened viceroys.
But perhaps the larger number are edited
by Young China" = that is. by Chinese
having a smattering of modern learning
and general tincture of cosmopolitanism.
They are for the introduction of new studies
and the reform of the public service. What
they say is. in effect: "The Mandarin of to-
day is dishonest and useless; he has not
read any of the books of Western learning
But in me behold one who has studied the
arts which have made Europe great; there
fore, / am honest" These agitator-editors
evidently are on the way to make a class
like the Babus in India, and perhaps TO give
as much trouble. Distracted and feeble as
the Chinese government now is, il has had
TO take notice of some of these too ardent
reformers. especially when they go so far as
TO discuss the possibility of a republic in
China But Young China" is clever knows
all about extra-territorial rights, and has
the ownership of all its newspapers vested
in foreigners This makes 1t hard for the
Picking authorities to get their hands on
the elusive editor.

Gratifying Results.

The fact that the gross earnings of the
Baltimore & Ohio from the operation of the
roads for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1898, reached the sum of s27, 642, 432, an in
crease of $2,O 80 over the similar period of
1897, has created considerable favorable
comment in financial circles. The receivers
after they were appointed and had ex-
amined the situation carefully were conf
dent that If their policy was carried out
the earnings of the road would be very
greatly augmented, and, as is we'll known
they began a series of Improvements that,
while not yet completed, have progressed
suff1c1ently to demonstrate beyond question
that the Baltimore & Ohio has an earning
capacity that will place it in the ranks of
the profitable railroads in the country in a
few years. The 100000 increase in gross
was made with an increase of only $2S1 391
in expenses, giving a net increase of 81, 49,
49, the approximate net earnings from the
roads alone for the year being $7,34S, 947, over
$500, 600 in excess of what the fixed charges
will be under the plan OF reorganization. In
addition to these earnings there is a mis-
cellaneous net income from various sources
of about 100000. 1t must be remembered
that during last July and August there
were coal strikes in Ohio, Pennsylvania and
West Virginia which in two months cost
the b. & o. more than half a million dol
lars, and that never in the history of the
country have rates been so low.

Freight officials are pleased over the in
crease Of business now setting in. Until
July. for ten months, there had been an un-
precedentedly heavy business. For forty
one consecutive weeks, with but one excep-
ton, there were received and forwarded at
indianapolis each week over 10000 loaded
cars. for six weeks over 1900. and for two
weeks the loaded car movement exceeded
2S,OOO cars, but in July, in two weeks the
loaded car movement dropped to about
1900. Now reaction has set in, and in
the week ending Aug. there were received
and forwarded at Indianapolis 25,532 cars,
1873 being loaded, an increase of ass over
the week ending July 30, and 102 more load
ed cars than were handled at this point
in the corresponding week of 1897 1868 more
than in 1885, 4252 more than in 1895 and
2,l91 more than in the corresponding week
OF 1884. The business of last week averaged
about 5000 more loaded cars than in the
corresponding week of 1894, 1895 or 1896 In
1897 the big Improvement set in the first
week of August. Freight men, judging
from the calls for cars the last three days
of the week ending Aug. 3, are confident
that business will soon be at its maximum
as at every little station on the Western
lines agents are calling for cars. Through
lines have not as yet felt the improvement
as perceptibly as the local lines Shipments
of grain to Toledo, Cleveland Sandusky and
Detroit are heavy, and local Touring mills
cerealine mills and starch works are stock
ing up heavily. Until the elevators and
local concerns are supplied no great in
crease in through business is looked for
Still, large quantities of provisions produce,
hides, etc., are being shipped, and the ship
ments of dressed meats are the heaviest
ever known in August. West-bound the
tonnage has been surprise. So far as To-
cal business is concerned 1t is very active
for August. There are but few indianapolis
industries that are not much heavier ship
pers than at the corresponding period last
year. The Touring mills, cerealine mills
starch works and packing houses are ship
ping double the tonnage of year ago. and
at the city freight depots and bulk yards
there is unusual activity for summer
month. Below is given the car movement
for the week ending Aug 6 and for the
corresponding weeks of 1897 and 1896:
