AN INDIANAPOLIS COAL ROAD.

The manufacturers and coal consumers

sions from the coal-carrying railroads. Their

situation without any reference to equity.
consistency or local manufacturing inter-
ests. AS far as the case between the coal
consumers and the railroads Is concerned
the verdict is already made up. and it is
against the coal consumers. The plain
truth is that the manufacturing interests of
the city are at the mercy of the railroads,
and the only real and permanent relief is
the construction of a coal road in the ex-
elusive interest Of Indianapolis and the
country traversed. Such a road should be
system conducted with only Incidental ref
erence to the interests of Indianapolis. Such
road could and should have been con-
structed twenty-five years ago. At meet
ing of citizens held on the evening Of Feb.
6. 1850. to discuss the best method of procur-
ing an adequate supply of cheap fuel re-
port was read from Hon. John Caven. then
mayor of the city. covering the situation at
that tiEle- There had been citizens meet
ing held in the preceding June, and a COM
mittee and subcommittee appointed to con-
fer with the railroads, and IL possible Sc
cure reduction of the tariff for carrying
coal to Indianapolis for a term of years, and
a binding contract to that effect. The COM
mittee had considerable correspondence
with the railroads, but did not succeed in
situation then presented the mayor said:
This city does not wish to ask anything
unreasonable OF railroads. or that they
should make sacrifices 10 benefit the city.
We cannot afford to do anything else than
TO build up. encourage and sustain them.
What we are, and what we are 10 be- we
do and will largely owe to railroads, but
we reason that a reduction of prices OF
freight. which would have the effect to build
up great city at one end OF the line and
develop great industries all along IL, is not
a sacrifice. but wise working for a future
destiny. and that what might seem to be
present sacrifice would be but sowing the

able to compete with other places in the
selling price of our wares. and the cost of
the motive power enters largely into the
cost. Place indianapolis where we can COM
pete In the matter OF cheap fuel with other
favorable points. and the rest we have, and
our great future is assured.
From that time to the present the rail-
roads penetrating the coal fields have stood
in the way OF cheap fuel for this city At
that time the city was barred. as munic-
ipality. from aiding in the construction of
coal road. but Mayor Caven suggested
that Center township should take 100000
of stock in a projected road in which the
city OF Evansville had already taken sl5O,OoO
of stock, and subsidies to the amount of
$4,000 had been voted along the line But

Some persons in Washington have just
discovered what was commented on by the
Journal editorially more than two weeks
ago. that is. that a law passed by the last
Congress contains a provision under which
any article of foreign manufacture in the
way Of food or drink. which has come un-
der the ban of the law in the country
where II Is made. or which is declared
injurious by committee OF American ex-
perts appointed by the commissioner of ag-
riculfure. may be seized and confiscated by
the government and its further importa-
ton prohibited. The enforcement of this
law win prevent the importation OF many
articles Of foreign manufacture. foods and
wines. which. on account OF their adulter-
alton. are not permitted to be sold in the
countries where they are made.

Marie Corelli's Shrek.


Miss Corelli has written another article
entitled 1.-The Bodysnatchers." in which
she protests in her loudest tone against
certain schemes for improving of Strait
ford-on-Avon past recognition. 1t is not
often that one can agree heartily with
Miss Corelli. but in this instance most
people. except, perhaps. Mr.. Carnegie. will
agree with her and trust that her voice
will be heard and that its shrillness will
not prevent people from needing 1t. The
trouble originally seems to have arisen
from the offer of a free library by Mr.
Carnegie That was sure to come to STRAIT
ford Sooner or later, for no town can
feel sale against Mr.. Carnegie's libraries.
The library itself would not have injured
Stratford. whatever its effect might have
been upon the inhabitants thereof but the
city fathers were stimulated by the pros
pect of a free library TO improve their
town by pulling down ancient buildings
and putting UP Objectionable new ones
Whence the wrath of Corelli has fallen
upon them. and let all the people say
Amen

Trolley Lines I'm Rural Districts.

New York Independent
The expansion Of the trolley is working
along the line of reducing manual labor on
the farm. 1t seems not improbable that
the whole help problem will be solved. In
some cases already this power is running
farm machinery and doing a good deal of
Homework. II Is suggested that the water
power OF New York State be so far COL
lected as to run an electric road from the
lakes TO tidewater. and that power be ali
along the way sold to farms and towns
The plan is entirely feasible. and we be-
lieve that something of this sort will be
worked out. Whether the outlook be as
hopeful as we think, Ii is certain that the
easy access TO all parts of the country
and the removal of isolation, as yell as the
sense OF remoteness from vital centers.
Will bring back TO agricultural life a large
share Of that more Intelligent help which
has been moving cityward. II will tend
largely to dissolve the rapidly forming
masses and distribute them where work y
always abundant.
