SOUTH BEND. Ind, Jan. N.-The street
cars Of South Bend and Goshen and those
connecting South Bend Elkhart, Goshen
and Mishawaka. were almost without pat
ronage to-day because OF the conductors
and motormen's strike.
Considerable excitement was caused to-
night by the explosion, at Washington and
Michigan streets, OF a dynamite cartridge.
Although this was in the heart of the city
no damage was done, no cars being at that
point at the time. An attempt also was
made. about 5:15 o'clock, to wreck the North
Side Mishawaka-street car by laying a
tree across the track near River park. The
work was only partially successful, as the
car was not running at full speed when 1t
struck the obstruction. The damage. how
ever, was sufficient to make 1t necessary to
put another car on the line. The Street
car Employees Union officials say they were
not concerned in the work, blame being
placed on the hoodlums and rowdy ele-
inent.
More cars were placed in operation by
the Indiana Railway Company to-day. and
this afternoon twelve cars were operated on
the city and Mishawaka lines. Eight street.

Members of the union stated to-day that

fndorsing the strike and the refusal OF peo-

encouraged them. and that they will not
give up their position until their demands

Pay for Street Improvement.

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
The interest of the public in the Good
wine measure is political. The same is
true of the primary bills and as TO voting
machines. But surely the interest of legis-
lators in these matters ought not to eclipse
more important legislation. In this connec-
ton may be mentioned the need of a Just
law for the Improvement of city streets,
in which every taxpayer in every incorpor-
ated town and city in the State is in
pense for original improvements and for
subsequent improvements is placed upon
the property abutting upon the street. In
this city the sentiment is universal that a
law should be enacted providing that
abutting property should pay for first i'm
provement. and that all subsequent i'm
provements and repairs should be accom-
plished by a general tax upon all the city
taxables. Il. ID. MOFFETT.

Governor Pennypacker, in his inaugural
address at Harrisburg Pa, took occasion
to say concerning yellow journalism: Sen
sational journals have arisen all over the
land, the owners in concealment and the
writers and the purveyors undesignated
and they have thriven by propagating
crime and disseminating falsehood and
scandal, by promulgating dissension and
anarchy, by attacks upon individuals and
by assaults upon government and the
agencies of the people. They are terror
to the household, detriment to the public
service and an impeachment to the courts Of
justice. 1t would be helpful and profitable
to reputable journalism if they could be
suppressed
And all the people will say amen, That
