THE sTREET-CAR PROPOSITION.

The representative of the new street-rail-
way company has agreed to the terms re-
quired by the Marion delegation in the Leg
isiature, which are that the company shall
issue six tickets for twenty-five cents,
twenty-five for one dollar. pay the citv a.
bonus of $4,000, pave the parts of the
streets it shall occupy, lease Fairview Park
and Shelby-street properties to the city for
one dollar a year for thirty-four years and
at the expiration of that time deed the prop
critics to the city. and expend at once
$looO,CO to put the lines in first-class condi-
ton. In return for what the company is
pledged to give it asks thirty-four years
franchise
The Journal believes that a contract with
the new company which shall embrace these
conditions is a most fortunate solution of
the existing complications in the street-rail-
way situation. The present company will
fight to extend its hold as long as possible.
Its charter will expire in 1901. 1t is already
making a claim that it's franchise is per-
petual. 1t will go into the United States
courts to sustain that claim. BY DELAYS it
can prevent a settlement of the contention
four or five years after 1901. All this time
the people will be paying five-cont fares,
and all these years of doubt the company
win not spend a dollar to improve the serv-
ice; on the contrary, it would deteriorate
because of the uncertainty. BY the adoption
of the proposed contract the people will get
a four-cent fare at once, and a first-cass

view Park for nothing, which is better
worth 100000 as a land purchase than the

ment at nearly that price. The city will
be relieved of the expense of a very costly
litigation to terminate the charter of the
present company. The city will get $500
which will go some way in the construc-
ton of the proposed parks. These are few
of the more obvious benefits of the proposed
contract, which is a better one than any
city in the country has been able to secure.
There is a considerable number of people
who demand three-cent fare because such
law exists, but it is not operative, and
Furthermore, those who have examined the
subject inteligently must be satisfied that
such a service as the people of indianapolis
will require cannot be furnished on the basis
of three-cent fare. The passage of the
three-cent-fare bill in 1897 was inspired by
the resentment of the people of the inso-
lence of the managers of the present COM
pany. A four-cent fare for those who are
the chief patrons of the street railway is a
fair compromise between the three-cent fare
of the suspended law and the five-cent fare
now paid. 1t Is far better to get a four-cent
fare now than to pay hve-cent fare for
five or six years while the charter rights
of the present company are being fought
out. 1t is better TO have a four-cent fare
with peace, with better service. with a bonus
OF $4,000. and other valuable grants. than
to fight five or six years for a three-cent
fare while paying i've cents for an inferior
service.

The anniversary of George Washington
occurs this week AS in the past, the day
will be very generally celebrated. In speech
many things viii be said of the father of his
country Many of the things which will be
said Of him he would deny if he were living.
We win be told that he was the object of
universal admiration. Those who have read
! the political history of the country know
that such was not the case. He was con-
| stantly maligned by considerable element
because he would not be a demagogue. He
was accused by his foes of scheming to re-
store his country to Great Britain after he
had incurred the risk of a traitors fate by
his hostility to that power. If he were living
to-day he would be hated by those men who
think it good politics to array people in one
condition in life against those in another
walk He would be denounced as an
aristocTat, with no sympathy for the people.
He did not believe in the rule of ignorance
and viciousness and he would not pander
to that element. He believed in law with a
strong arm, and social order, even if force
were necessary to declare it. He believed in
the enforcement of all laws. Because he
held tenaciously to such IDEAS he was cor
daily hated and generously abused. Above
all else, Washington was a clean-handed
and high-minded man in public affairs.
When he resigned the command of the army
to the Continental Congress, he accounted for
every cent of money he had received. He
did this because he did not consider himself
greater than the authority which gave him
command Of the armies. He never lost sight
of the fact that the officer should be respon-
sible as the servant of the people, and not a
dictator for whose special benefit govern
ment should be maintained. If George Wash
ington lived in Indiana to-day, he would
take an active part with those who are
laboring to secure clean economical and in
telligent local government in cities, town
ships and counties, and he would be de-
nounced by that class Of patriots who shout
themselves hoarse for the flag and assail
those who seek to prevent corruption in
local government George Washington, if
now alive would be denounced by the whole
brood of taX-eaters.

INDIAN,. IS GOOD ENOUGH.

In private letter to the editor of the
Journal the writer, formerly an Indianian
but now a resident Of North Dakota, speaks
with much feeling Of the mistake made by
Indiana farmers who are persuaded by real
estate and railroad agents from the North
west to sell out their holdings here and go
up there and buy land in the expectation of
lettering themselves. The representations
made by the agents are, he declares, very
misleading. The temperature, which they
admit gets pretty low in the winter, but
which they assert is never uncomfortable
because you do not feel the cold where the
atmosphere is so dry" this correspondent
says is quite as uncomfortable as cold
weather anywhere else. The mercury dur
ing the last week in January ran the scale
from 20 to 30 degrees below zero, from Sept
/ to 10, inclusive, it varied from "a to AZ de-
grees below. Such weather is common
there and not the exceptional thing of
years, as was the recent cold wave in In
diana. Further, he says, these agents con-
ceal material facts, such as local market
prices, cost Of fuel, lumber tax rates, rate
of interest on loans, etc, and the new set
tiers are greatly disappointed and discour-
aged when they learn the truth If they
write back to their old home newspapers
warning others not to be beguiled as they
were the letter is copied into the papers of
their new homes and they are attacked and
vilified. Their prudent course is to make
the best of a bad bargain in silence
This story is not new one. 1t has been
repeated, with variations, hundreds of times
by men to whom the region that is a little
farther on always seems more highly ia
vored than the place where they now are
They could by proper inquiry satisfy them
selves that the new country toward which
they look bears the enchantnent of distance
and that it mas few if any advantages over
the place where they now are; but they do
not take these precautions. The glamour
of the distant and untried and the desire
for the new and strange overcome them and
they go to the far-off regions only to regret
their venture afterward. 1t is doubtful if
any farmer ever improved his prospects in
an agricultural sense by a removal from
Indiana. He will hardly find better or more
easily titled land in any other region. his
markets are near al hand and the trans
portation and the fuel questions do not
bother him. Farmers everywhere have their
problems and their difficulties, as all BUSH
ness men have, but those of Indiana have as
Few as any Of their brethren, and in MANY
respects have advantages those of States
farther West do not enjoy. Those who
move on learn to value these blessings
after they have taken their fight
