1t is considerable of a farce to
see the saloon men opposing a
license to a bottling works. If it
was just and right to grant the
saloons license, there can be no ar~
gument presented to Withhold the
license from bottling works.

ATTACK ON THE AUDITOR.
What He Says About the preparation
for Reform Bookkeeping.

A recent issue of the Wabash Plain Deal
er contained an attack on the county and
township laws and on Auditor OF State
Hart. on the claim that he was working
with the Indianapolis publishing houses In
the forms for county and township bust
ness. The paper declared that agents or In
dianapolis houses are now taking orders Tor
these blanks, While printing houses outside
the city are unable to secure the forms. The
article closes with the same old cry about
the Indianapolis gang" Auditor Hart read
the article yesterday and said: The truth
about this matter is that only to-day were
the proofs for the township blanks sent to
the public printer. In making up the form
for the township blanks, i sought the adj
vice of township trustees and wrote 10 over
fifty of them. Many of them made valu-
able suggestions, which were emDouied IN
the forms and we believe we have the best
forms that could be devised. The proof was
sent over to the public printer to-day. and
we expect the forms by Thursday. we nave
a large number of letters from printers In
all parts of the State asking for the forms:
and Just as soon as we get them, we Will
send the sample forms to them. We VIII
also send the forms TO every township trus-
tee in the State. If agents of any house are
soliciting orders, they are doing SO on forms
which nave been prepared by the houses
they represent, for the official form mas
been given to no one. So far as the county
forms are concerned, there is no hurry
about them and we have not. completed
them as yet. There are fifteen forms 10 be
devised in the county business n we ex-
pect to finish them this week"

RESTS WITH THE CAPTAIN.
He May Bring the Nashville to Indi-
ana AZ He Chooses.

For some days the city of Evansville has
been trying to have the gunboat Nashville
ordered up the Ohio to that city on its re-
turn trip from st. Louis. The project was
enthusiastically taken up by the people Of
Evansville and Saturday a committee Of
business men was sent TO st. Louis to see
the commander of the Nashville and urge
him to take his vessel up the Ohio. Captain
Maynard, commanding the boat. said he
would not take the responsibility of taking
the boat up as far as Evansville, although
he would do SO IL the department ordered
him TO do 1t. Immediately the people OF
Evansville began to work every possible
scheme TO have the necessary orders issued.
Senator Fairbanks was telegraphed to, and
he replied that he had written to Secretary
Long asking that it be done. The state
officials here were appealed to and Governor
Mount sent a telegram to Secretary Long
asking that the orders be issued. Last
evening a reply was received from Secretary
Long In which he said. THE department
Will authorize the commanding officer OF the
Nashville 10 take his boat 10 Evansville
provided he deems IL entirely safe TO do so.
The department regrets that, not having
exact as to the river stage. il
deems IL inexpedient TO issue positive orders.

1t is certain that the differentfal subjects
will be brought up at the meeting Of the
Central Passenger Association next month.
Meanwhile the standard lines will make ev-
cry effort to win the support of enough lines
to make a majority for equal rates via all
roads between Chicago. New York and Phil
adelphia during the G.. A. r. encampment
in September. Heretofore, when such q1es-
lions came up in the joint traffic trunk Lines
or Central Passenger Association, the
standard lines were never able 10 carry
their point because the differential Lines
were in the majority. and voted solidly to-
gether. The roads not generally affected
usually cast their votes with the differen-
tial lines. consequently there was a big ma
jority over the three votes usually cast by
the Fort Wayne, the Lake Shore and the
Michigan Central. On rare occasions the
Panhandle and Nickel-plate cast their votes
with the standa lines. The eight votes
tials are considered by the standard lines
as Indicative OF a complete triumph in tie
future. Conservative passenger men say
that the New York lines cannot afford TO
start such a serious and costly fight over
the small amount OF business at stake, and
that IL would be far better to give the Phil
adelphia roads the whole of the three days
business to New York during which the low
rates are in effect than 10 take a step which
might easily cost $4,000. 1t is also pointed
out that rates for the same convention are
that IL would be just as reasonable TO put
in reduced rates TO Baltimore and Washing
ton on this occasion as TO apply them to
New York.

UNION STATION CABMEN.
An Ordinance to Drive the Bird Com
pany from the Building.

At a meeting Of the Council last night an
ordinance was introduced that looks TO
keeping all hackmen and transfer men out OF
the Union Station, thus ending, with a fell
swoop, the long standing feud between the
Frank Bird Transfer Company and the In
dependent cabbies. An ordinance had been
passed which kept ont of the Union Station
all transfer men except the Bird Companyis-
The ordinance was worded, it Is claimed,
in such a clever way that its meaning did
not stand out clearly Now the Council has
or hand an amendment TO the original ordi-
nance that will forbid the Bird Company
and all others in its line of business from
soliciting business In the Union station.
There was some doubt expressed last night
as to the legality OF the amendment. The
Bird company paid $500 a year for the priv
ilege Of maintaining an office in the station.
IL was said. and If the Union Railway Com
pany saw fit 10 rent the Bird Company an
Office il had a right TO do IL. Another hotel

ordinance stipulates that the portico shall
not extend beyond the outer edge OF the
sidewalk. and the roof of the portico shall
not be less than ten feet from the ground.
The ordinance was referred to the committee
on public safety and comfort.

GENTRY ANIMAL SHOW.
A Fine Exhibition by the Dogs, Ponies
and Elephants.

The Gentry dog and pony show came In
yesterday morning and settled at Illinois
and Pratt streets for a weeks stay. The
initial performances, the street parade at
10 a. m. and the evening performance at the
show grounds, were both well patronized by
young and old, nearly two thousand persons
witnessing the evening show. The show is
a particularly attractive one for the little
folks, and they constituted a large proper
ton of the audience. 1t opened with a drill
by eight Shetland ponies, in which various
military movements were executed with pre-
cision at the command of the commanding
work" by the dogs. the amusing antics
being much to the delight of the children.
Then in rapid succession changes from
ponies to dogs and dogs to ponies were
made. Pinto and Satan, the baby elephants,
were a source of much amusement in their
acts. The high jumping of the hounds and
bareback riding Of the dog Ellis are features
well worth seeing, as is the fire scene, in
which the ponies. dogs and monkeys rush
to the burning building with miniature ire
apparatus and extinguish the flames in so
businesslike a manner as to capture the
audience.
The show will remain but one week, as
bookings have been made in Eastern cities
which will not allow of a longe stay. How
ever, daily matineeS will be given. Another
parade will be given tomorrow morning at
10 o'clock. There is much snap and ginger
to the show and there is not a moment Of
dullness during the entire two hours.

Western officials IL has been shown that
there has been a better observance OF rates,
although there has been some difficulty on
the question OF export rates, and we hope
that our inquiry into that subject will lead
to an adjustment of the question. Aside
from the export rate feature. rates have
been better observed in the West during
the past four months than In years. These
conferences are doing incalculable good. In
the South conditions have been favorable to
rate maintenance, while in the East a like
situation has prevailed. All the representa-
tives that we have seen express a willing
