Two bills have been presented in Con-
gress to establish military posts. one at
Des Moines. Ia. and the other near a
town in Alabama. A few years ago an
effort was made TO induce Congress to es-
tablish a military post near this city. The
Commercial Club had the proposition under
consideration and presented 1t in Washing
ton- This was at a time when Congress
did not believe that more military posts
were necessary. Since that time a change
Of sentiment has occurred. Troops are no
longer needed in the Indian country and
the regiments were being changed to posts
in the older sections of the country when
she Spanish war came. Now all the regi-
ments are in the Philippines. but many of
them will return. and when they do they
will be stationed at posts in the older
States. II the War Department is consid-
ering the establishment of new posts there
could be no better location than Indian
spolis. The matter should be looked after.

The treatment of interurban electric lines
,sithin the city limits is question OF con-
.siderabIe Importance. Three such COM
panies are now petitioning for entrance 10
the city over existing lines. and no doubt
shere will be others in the near future.
Experience with other corporations and
franchises has demonstrated the import
rnce of making right start. and. as every
body now knows. the time TO safeguard the
rights of the city and its people is when the
contract is made. No interurban company
should be permitted to charge higher pas
senger fares within the city limits than the
Indianapolis company. Any other rule
would be unfair 10 city residents and cause
endless friction All interurban companies
should be required TO sell six tickets for
twenty-five cents. twenty-five for a dol

The Strike Averted.

Scranton, Pa, Sept. 10.-The unex.
pected has happened. Instead OF a
strike, the hard.coal miners went into
the shafts today. Everybody has q
theory ss to why the strike was not de.
clared and whether or not one will be
declared. The first idea advanced ss to
what averled the strike was politics.
1t hardly seems reasonable, however, Ia
believe that either national committee
has taken action. Some powerful 10.
fuence is at work secretly. What that
Influence is may never be known.
Father Phillips and Rudenreid say the
men will gain tremendously 10 popular
sympathy by their conservative action.
They gay that public opinion may be
so aroused that the coal trust cannot
resist it. The miners seem to feel that
a settlement may be reached without a
resort TO strike, which they can so i'll
afford. Merchants and professional
men are also relieved but the situation
will not greatly be cleared up until il is
definitely known whether there will be
strike.
Scranton, Pa, Sept. 1870 far as
can be learned. the hard coal miners
throughout this section are hearty all
at work. Not word can be learned
here of the nature of the supposed
negotiations which it is thought are be-
ing conducted.
Hszelton, Pa, Sept. 10-All the COL
lieries 10 this section of the anthracite
field are in operation today, but feel
ing OF uncertainty and suspense prevails
not only among the miners but all busi-
ness interests. There will be DO relief
until it is finally settled whether or not
there will be a strike.

The Maine Election

Portland, Me-, Sept 10. Returns from
twelve OF the sixteen counties 10 the
State, show that heavy vote is being
polled in the State election today. The
republicans are rsllying nearly as well
in 1896, while the democrats, who re-
Trained from voting in that election, are
coming to the polls. The weather is
fine. Wolfe the total vote is likely to
reach that of four years ago, the repub-
ican leaders say they do not expect 80
large a plurality as the democrats were
in disunion then. Republican estimates
for the plurality range from $4,000 to
10000 and the democratic leaders pre-
dict the cutting down OF the republican
plurality to less than 10000. 1t is ex.
pected that the republicans will elect
their governor, all OF their Congress
men, State Senators and 125 out of 151
representatives. The democrats expect
to increase their representation in the
legislature by five or ten members.
Portland, Me-, Sept. 10.-Bulletins from
various parts of Cumberland and York coun-
ties indicate that the total vote for those
counties will be larger than two years ago.
Both sides concede that the republican plu.
raliiy cannot reach that Of four years ago.
