Tncts About New Albany.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal;
The communication in the Journal of Fri
day from this city signed Taxpayer is
gravely unjust to New Albany, conveying,
as it does, a distorted idea of the situation
here. Taxpayer states that our popula-
ton is probably 16,0O0.' 1t is much nearer
$4,000. And his statements concerning the
origin of our Indebtedness are altogether
erroneous. In neither the county nor the
city did it arise from current expenses in
the way Of ordinary business management.
The city Indebtedness arose from aid rem
dered the Airline Railroad, and that of the
county, the bonded debt, from contracts for
work done long ago. The present city and
county officials have had nothing to do with
the creation of the bonded indebtedness,
but are honestly keeping the interest paid
and are paying the principal with reason
able expedition, and paying it, indeed, as
fast as the bonds fall due. For the last five
or six years the business of both city and
county has been well managed and eXpendi-
lures have been materially reduced. Except
for this Indebtedness the taxes might be
somewhat lower, but they are not as high
as in many other cities the size of New AL
bany. People are not afraid to invest and
to make improvements. There We're more
buildings erected here in 1898 than in
the five years preceding. There is no more
personal. favoritiSm here than in cities gen
orally, if as much. There are no better pO-
lice and fire departments in the State than
New Albany has. and there is not a particle
of scandal or suspicion of corruption at
taching to any of our city or county Off
Gals. With perfect propriety and truthful
ness it may be said we have good city and
county governments, and the prospect be-
fore New Albany is bright with hopeful
ness. JASPER PACKARD.

a Two-MiIe skating Race.

Harry Graft won the two-mile skating
race, at the Cyclorama Rink last night,
over Harry Beard, Fremont Hunt and Will
liam Shea in seven minutes and twenty
seconds, by a combination Of circumstance
favorable to no one but himself. Hunt was
regarded by most of the people as the most
promising of the contestants, and his stock
went up high, when at the referees signal
he got away ahead of the rest. For one
mile Hunt easily maintained his position,
swinging along with a long. easy stride,
but on the seventeenth lap Beard, who was
following him closely. tried to pass him
coming into the home stretch. The effort
brought Hunt, Beard and Graft close to-
gether, and, in rounding a turn. Boards
skate struck one of Hunts, throwing the
latter to his knees and tearing off one of
his front rollers. Before Beard could take
advantage of the accident, however, Graft
had shot past him and was speeding away
at a lively clip. Beard hung on StuDbOrnly.
however, until the twenty-ffth lap. when.
seing that he had no chance to win. dropped
out lust as Hunt returned to the floor with
a new pair of skates. Realizing that he
had nothing to hope for in the way of first
prize. he set q fast pace for Graft to follow.
and brought him home blowing hard, but
With undiminished speed. Shea was almost
left at the post, and retired after losing a
lap and finding himself in the way of the
other skaters.
IA polo team will go to Richmond to-
day for the first match of the season.

and are ameable to the laws. If the New
York store finds that 1t can make calico
sell at 1 cent a yard. which before did not
sell, il will mark said calico down. The rail-
roads have the same privilege. If the pas
senger business does not pay at 3 cents per
mile, let them mark it down" to ? cents
per mile, where it will pay. l can go from
indianapolis TO San Francisco ut the rate
of ] cent per mile or less, on the railroads.
l can go from Indianapolis TO Cincinnati on
Sundays in the summer season and often
on week days. for 81 the %round-trip. Why
does il pay the railroads TO carry people for
less than a half cent q mile? Because
crowds Of people take advantage of the
low rate.
In regard to competition the writer calls
attention to the fact that where there are
some fourteen railroads entering Indian
apolis a few years ago there are now only
six. The tendecy in Indiana is to consolida-
ton, just as it was in New York, hence
the great necessity of some action on the
part of the Legislature to control cOnSolida-
ton or rate of passenger fare. 1t looks very
much as though the time is fast coming
when there will be but two railroads enter
ing indianapolis, the Vanderbilt and the
Pennsylvania. Where will competition be
then? Now is the time to get a 2-cent fare

A bill to regulate the compensation of
the state officers has been prepared, and
will be presented by Mr.. Roots on the first
roll call for introduction of bills. The bill
provides that the salary of the Governor
shall be $500 a year, the same as at pres
ent; secretary of state, 5000; treasurer of
state, 5000; auditor of state, $4,000; attorney
general, $500; clerk of the Supreme Court,
5000; reporter of the Supreme Court, 5000;
superintendent of public instruction, SO, 500;
judges of the Supreme Court, $1,000, or an
increase of $1,000 each; judges of the Appel
late Court, 5000 each; law librarian, $l,SG,
or ar increase of $500. The docket fee for a
case appealed to the Supreme or Appellate
Court is fixed at SIS, for which the losing
party is liable and it must be paid within
thirty days. These salaries are to begin
On Jan. l, 1899, but the secretary of state,
auditor of state, treasurer Of state and at
torney general, who were elected in 1895,
are not to receive the benefits of the in
crease, but are TO serve out their terms
under the present law.

can pc considered this session, and Mr..
Blankanship made q speech that caused
much Laughter He advocated woman sui
irdge ana said that every man ought to con-
suit his wife.
There was some confusion about Senator
News bin to regulate the management of
county poor asylums. The report from the
committee on county and township business
was divided. The majority recommended
the passage of the bill and the minority re-
port signed by Mr.. Reser and Mr.. Green.
was for indefinite postponement. Mr.. HUFF
moved to table the minority report and Mr..
Reser arose ard said there was a mistake
somewhere. as he did not want to sign a
minority report to this bill. He said it was
the bill by Mr.. New to regulate county bust
ness on which he desired to make a minori-
ty report, so the minority report on this bill
was Withdrawn, and the committee report
to pass was concurred in. Speaker Littleton
improved the opportunity TO condemn the
practice of securing the names of commit
teemen on the floor of the House to reports.
and said all bills should be considered and
the reports made in committee rooms. He
further added that the House is up" with
the work of the committees and is up with
the work of the clerks. For that reason he
had permitted a freedom and levity during
the afternoon that, under other circum-
stances, would not be tolerated, as it was
his intentionn, so long as there was work
to be done, that the House should attend to
businesses.

The Boiler Inspection Bill.

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
The following clipping from the Richmond
Palladium, published in the indianapolis
Journal, is suggestive to many manufac-
turers:
There seems to be a disposition on the
part of some members of the Legislature to
harass manufacturers in this Stale and to
saddle them with unnecessary burdens. All
such burdens directly or indirectly react
on their employees. For if the manufac-
turer's reasonable profits are consumed by
taxes of various kinds he viii either have
to cut wages or shut down his factory. In
either case the WOrkingman would be the
sufferer. The boiler inspection bill now be-
fore the Legislature belongs to the class of
burdens alluded to-
This boiler inspection bill, or q similar
one, annoyed the General Assembly two
years ago a great deal. 1t provides that
only cities of 5000 population shall be af-
fected. In such cities nearly every steam
plant carries boiler insurance and pays the
insurance companies under their contract
for inspecting their boilers. Under the pro-
posed law the steam plants in the country
and in small towns, such as sawmills,
threshing engines, etc, where most aCCi-
dents occur. are exempt from inspection.
In other words. the law is only to apply
to those plants where the most competent
men are in charge and inspection by the in
surance companies is frequent.

An Anticipating Bill Favored.

Inc judiciary committee yesterday after
noon decided to favorably comm Mr..
Elchhorn's anti-lynching bill, except to
strike out the section that the sheriff shall
be removed from Office in the event he per-
mits a prisoner to be taken from him. The
bill as drawn made forfeiture of office the
penalty for permitting a prisoner to be
taken, and authorized the sheriff to call
or the nearest company Of militia without
waiting to make the demand of the Gov
ernor. 1t also placed the responsibility for
the safety of the prisoner in the hands of
the commanding officer of the troops on
duty, and relieved the sheriff from that
responsibility. The idea of that portion was
to take the responsibility for active meas
Cres from the hands of one who might be
secretly allied with the mob, or who would
hesitate to take drastic measures because
he would know that in the mob were nee
essarily some whom he knew or who were
related to him.
The committee on building and loan as
Atkins bill to reduce the expenses of the
was strongly opposed by many representa-
tives of associations who appeared before
the committee to protest against its pas
sage. Senator Agnew's bill, that thes re-
ceiver of a foreign association may bring
suit without having complied with the state
law, will also be recommended. Senator
HOgate's bill on the distribution of assets
of the associations will be faVorably re-
ported.

Grin Amonr Legislators.

The grip seems to be increasing among the
members of the House attaches. Mr.. Noel
was compelled to leave the session yesterday
morning and so to his home, and in the
afternoon Samuel Gibson. doorkeeper, was
taken very ill. A physician who was called
ordered Mr.. Gibson to go at once to his
home. He was taken down stairs and was
too ill to walk. A carriage was called and,
accompanied by friends, he left on the after
noon train for Muncie. The exhaust fans
were last evening completed and started to
work for the first time. Scarcely any noise
is made by them, and it is estimated that the
air in tho chamber will be changed every
eighteen minutes.

Protests from Allen County.

There was much speculation yesterday as
to the reasons why Mr.. Artman, as chair
man of the committee on cities and towns.
requested that Mr.. Shirley's bill to legalize
the incorporation of Shirley City or Wood
burn, Allen county, be recommitted to the
committee after it had been favorably re-
ported. A number Of letters and kilograms
were received during the morning protesting
against the passage of this bill and the rea-
sons given in all of them are embodied in
the last issue of the Fort Wayne News.
This paper says that they contend the in
corporation was secured by illegal means,
that Is out of the SO who voted for incor-
poratlon do not appear on the tax duplicate,
that Snlrley IS mayor of &he town and
hence is ineligible TO hold the office Of rep
I~esentatlye, or two offices at the same time,
ana 1t asks the question, if the incorporation
IS already legal, why does it have to be
legaliZed.
Other letters were received from Fort
wayne protesting against Representative
LoutlltS ~rallroading" through the bills to
amend the Fort Wayne charter. Some of
the amendments to the charter were bust
ness amendments and others desired are of
q partisan nature. Those which were passed
by the House under a suspension of the rules
PROVIDE only that the interest on street i'm
provement bonds shall be reduced from 6
10 D per cent, and that assessments for
street improvements can be placed on the
tax duplicate and collected as other taxes.
The amendments which are of a partisan
nature have not been acted upon and from
me mail received yesterday from Fort
wayne, there IS an evident miSunderStand-
ing as to which of the amendments was
passed under the suspension of the rules.
