contributor TO the Saturday Review and a
writer on ecclesiastical and political sub
jects IN the Quarterly Review. During his
long connection with the press he gained
reputation as a caustic, satirical and bril-
liant writer rather than a solid or pro-
found thinker. though his articles are able
and far above mediocrity. In 1851 he mar
ried Miss Anderson, daughter of the eX-
chequer baron of the name and niece Of
Mrs Opie, the authoress. His official po-
litical career began with his appointment
position which he resigned on account Of
objection TO the Tory reform bill OF 1867. In
1869 he was elected chancellor of the Uni
versity OF Oxford, succeeding the late Earl
of Derby. He again took the Indian sec
retaryship under Mr.. Disraeli in 1874. Dur
ing the Servian war he was sent as special
ambassador to the Porte during the Con-
stantinople conference and managed the
whole affair. In April, 1878. he was ap-
pointed foreign secretary and later went to
the Berlin congress with Lord Beacons-
field, and brought back a part of the cele-
brated peace with honor" for which he
received the Order OF the Garter. He be-
came prime minister in 1885 and served I'M
til 1892. He assumed the same office In
1895 and held IL until his resignation, last
week. AS a speaker he is effective-terse,
clear and at all times vigorous and never
feeble. In appearance he is tall, bent,
awkward, bald-headed and ungainly. full
beared and with melancholy. appealing
worker and has a right TO be called a
statesman. though an INSCRIPTIONS one.
He is impetuous, cynical and skirmisher
in tactics. With him Toryism is an in
born, inbred and overpowering principle;
he believes in that and that alone.

A DECREASE In TONNAGE
INDIANAPOLIS LINES ARE AFFECTED
by THE CHICAGO STRIKE.
The Pennsylvania said to BE Figuring
Reading-GeneraI Notes.

The train records show a lighter loaded
car movement I'm the week ended July Y
as compared with several weeks past, but
still in excess of corresponding weeks Of
former years. The falling off in business
was chiefly due TO the freight handlers
strike at Chicago. which affected the lines

is beginning to move and, the coming week.
will form an important item of traffic. 1t
is noticeable that an usual tonnage of soft
Goals is being handled, railroads and manu-
facturers storing large quantities in antc-
patton of strike of miners. In addition
to business which comes to the roads
through the lines above mentioned. the
movement OF stone and building material
and iron structural work is very heavy.
and in railway supplies and heavy gro
ceries there is large tonnage moving.
Freight officials are confident the roads
are entering upon another season OF heavy
traffic, taxing equipment to its full capaci-
~. Thirty-three per cent. of the total car
movement were empty cars. when usually
II is about 20 per cent. This is due TO the
workings of the per diem plan. all foreign
lines sending their cars home. Present
conditions are likely to continue for a
month or more, until the operations of the
per diem plan are fully established. Still,
is IL probable the new plan will increase
somewhat the empty-car movement, eX-
cept at times when traffic is al its best
and cars can be used in sending freight
in every direction. Last week there was
some increase in through business east
bound, but westbound the tonnage is still
the heaviest, as the dry goods houses, boot
and shoe merchants and miliners have
commenced receiving fall and winter
stocks. Another thing that makes west
bound heavier than east-bound traffic is
the fact no anthracite coal is being
shipped. Local business is fully 10 per
cent. in excess of that at the corresponding
period last year The train records show
that there were received and forwarded
at indianapolis in the week ended July u
total of $3.50 cars, 1927 being loaded
against 1892 in the corresponding week

The Southern Indiana Road.

The Southern Indiana road has just
bought $26.595 worth Of land south of Terre
Haute which is to be used in it's proposed
belt line. The company has paid out very
large amount of money for land since
President Walsh built the extension from
Elnora to Terre Haute for rights Of way
and terminal facilities inside the city limits
and Immediately adjoining the same The
road now owns terminals which are worth
hundreds of thousands of dollars based on
their value in the years TO come for any
larger railroad system. Coincident with
the requirement or the land for the belt
system comes the report from Chicago that
the Southern Indiana is to be sold, with
several probable purchasers named, such
as the Monon, Chicago & Eastern Illinois
and the Louisville & Nashville. President
Walsh. in Chicago denies there has been
sale, but refused TO deny that a sale
would be made. In the various stories re-
Gently. of the deal for the Chicago & East
ern Illinois the Southern Indiana has been
involved, but not with much prominence
1t is regarded as a possible link i'm a
through line from Chicago to the Ohio
the Chicago & Eastern Illinois to Seymour
and crossing the MonOn, which is in the
new deal of the Southern and Louisville
& Nashville north and south system. 1t
has been noted that while the Chicago &,
Eastern Illinois stock has been advancing
on supposable demand for II by some Of
the larger north and south systems, that
the stock of the company which owns its
connecting road at Terre Haute, the Evans
vile & Terre Haute. has been on the de-
cline which has led to the supposition that
If the Louisville & Nashville Is after the
Q. & Z. /. IL has in view other means of
reaching the southern terminal of the Chi
cago & Eastern Illinois. The Monon man.
agement has announced that II will build
into the western Indiana coal field of Sui
Ivan county, and by doing this II will form
another connection with the Southern IN
diana which already is entering that field
and has purchased terminal facilities In the
town of Sullivan itself

sat down to think once meath

mind a thought was born. IF
scratching earth makes corn"
SAID he, "the tieas must thrive
when scratched by me. So now

and p'haps my troubles will be
o'er.' A week went by-he
kept his word, but ah, too late
