The remedy for the situation is in their
hands quite as much as 1t is in those of

The suit to enjoin the Indianapolis Gas
Company from quitting the natural gas
business In this city, which Is now being
argued at Noblesville. will probably turn
on the point whether there is a contract
between the city and the company to fur
nish gas for an indefinite period. The Jour-
nal has inclined to the view that while the
acceptance by the company of the ordi-
nance of 1887 constituted a contract as far
as rates were concerned, it was not binding
for any specified time and might be ended
at the option of the company by withdraw
ing its acceptance. This, it appears, is the
contention of the company's counsel, and 1t
is likely to impress the court.

THE HORSE EXHIBITION.

The horee show which begins on Monday
is certain to he the most extensive display
Of the kind ever made in this part of the
country 1t is not a scheme of a few per-
sons to make money, but the effort of lead
ing business men in the city to present an
exhibit that will be testimonial to the
public spirit and enterprise Of those who
are proud of indianapolis and would have
1t do the best that can be done in that line
terprise great success has been very
large. There has been no Withholding in
any direction. Indeed, the preparations are
on so grand a scale that they astonish
outsiders who have any idea Of the details
From far and near have been brought the
most novel attractions. 80 that the exhibit
will far surpass any exhibition ever given
in this city and will equal those of the
larger cities. Even with the details which
have been described from day to day in
the newspapers the public can have but a
faint idea Of the extent and variety of the
exhibition. Only those who visit 1t next
week can have an adequate idea of what
the business men of Indianapolis can do
to make a great exhibit when they are
united and in earnest. The exhibition will
continue the whole week, and while the
programme will be changed from day to
day it can be said that on no day will there
be more attractions than on any other day.
1t is gratifying to be able to add that there
will be no feature of this exhibition to
which the most fastidious can object.
1t is sincerely hoped that the people all
over Indiana will patronize an exhibition to
perfect which the business men of the city
have spent so much money and taken SO
great pains to please by giving a great
show of horses and Workmanship which
will not be marred by anything cheap or
vulgar. Considering the money expended
to prepare the show the prices of admission
are extremely low. In fact. in other cities
much higher prices of admission have been
demanded. The exhibit of next week, how
ever is designed for the pleasure and edi-
fication Of all the people.
