AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local. A. S. Burges?, district passenger agent of the Union Pikcific, headquarters at Indianapolis, has bees coadced to tbe house far several days with inflammatory rtieannaiism. There were some 800 loaded cars, east and west bound, m the Bee Tine yards at Brightwood yesterday morning. Trains xuovp so heavily that business accamulatee with theta daily. B. H. Barney, *ne of the oldest railroad men in the country, and who for twenty years past Jiaa represented the Erie Fast-freight at Cleveland, Ohio, died suddenly in that city, yesterday morning. The Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton people •will, this -spring, arrange with the waiter works company to furnish water for their locomotives. They now use water drawn from a well, and the limey substance which accumulates in the boilers gives them much trouble. The last few months the Lake Erie & Western management has made friends by a better maintenance of both freight and passenger rates. The time was when the L. E. & W. was Ihe rate disturber of the Middle and Western .States, although hot a link in a through route. The local rate convention "has passed a resolution to cotnpei shipj>ers to properly mark their goods. A practice is in vogue of marking one pieoe correctly where there are a number in the r,ame shipment, and then simply mark the others with sotne letter or number. Hereafter the letter or number may be used, but the name of the city or town must be plainly marked. Passengers who were delayed at Kankakee, and also those detained tm the C., 1.., St. L & C. trains in the snew blockades, speak in very complimentary terms of the manner they were treated by the Big Four management, and passed resolutions to he sent to the officers of the road, specially mentioning favorably conductors J. A. Andregg and J. C- Smith. As yet wo have not heard of any legislator of Indiana, Illinois, lowa or Wisconsin, introducing a bill authorizing railway companies to increase their charges on account of blizzards, freshets, or anow blockades, and the principal recompense they now obtain for the additional expenditures, risks, and danger* arising from inclement weather is that incidentally afforded by a partial e-ossation of rate-cutting operations. A. S. Burgess, agent of the Union Pacific railroad at this point, yesterday received a telegram from New Orleans, stating that the “Idaho Day” at the World’s Exposition would be March 3. The Idaho exhibit, under Colonel Shoup, is said to be one of the best in the government building. This department is the headquarters of the Idaho visitors to the exposition as well as of the Union Pacific railroad. There is much which is encouraging in the railroad situation if the wonst phase is put upon matters. The total volume of railroad traffic is increasing, as it was bound to do in consequence of last year’s increased crops, and there is now a prospect of a fairly satisfactory business during the spring: while the reeent reports of proas and net earnings show that operating expenses ars, as a rule, lower than they were a year ago. Travelers over the Northern Indiana and Illinois roads, within the last three weeks, well understand what a dead enciueis—Jhn Armstrong r ays it means that she has run out of water, so the fires must be put out and the pumps and machinery disconnected, so that she must go into the shop before running again, and that you must wait forty-four hours for a work train with a half-dozen engines to come and pull you out of the snow drifts. The Indianapolis Weighing Association will probably be organized this afternoon. The local agent* meet at 2:30 p. m. to hear the reports of the committee, which consists of J. A. Perkins, of the Pennsylvania lines; Harry Wetzel, of the Vandalia; W. C. Hobbs, of the C., I. St L. & C.; George Brecount, of the L., N. A. & C., and H. Bolirin, of the J., M. & I. This committee has secured the plans upon which the carweighing associations are conducted at Chicago, St Louis and Cincinnati, and from the three taken the best features as a basis of organization of the Indianapolis association. K. C. Vilas, general freight traffic manager of the Erie system of roads; G. G. Cochrane, general freight agent of the N. Y., P. & O.; A. H. McLeod, general freight agent of the C-. H. & I).; and H. C. Vilas, general manager of the Erie Shore and Commercial Fast-freight Line, spent yesterday in the city, in conference with T. A. Lewis, manager of the Erie Fastfreight Lines. The party left for Columbus, 0., last evening. Traffic manager Vilas has made nn extended trip over the West, and expresses the opinion that for some time to come there will be plenty of business for all east and west line3, but. the low rates prevailing are the worst features of the situation. James E. Gowen, one of the most eminent ir, embers of the Philadelphia bar, died at his residence in Mt. Airy, Pa., Wednesday last, of nervous prostration, after an illness of several weeks. He was the chief counsel of the Reading road, and the part be has taken in the litigations of that corporation has been second is prominence only to that of Franklin B. Gowen. Asa corporation lawer Mr. Gowen’s attention was not, how ever, given only to the Reading company. Prior to 3873 he was counsel in teveral important cases for the Pennsylvania railroad, and at various times took a leading part in the litigations in which the Lehigh Valley road was involved. He was actively concerned in nearly all of the most important railroad lawsuits that have occurred for the last fifteen years.

A Timely Improvement In Sleeping-Cars. It is very fortunate for the traveling public that anew style of parlor and sleeping-car has been introduced on some of the more important roads, and is likely to eome into general use At present physicians differ in opinion as to how a person shall lie in a sleeping-coach. Dr. Outten, says that if a person lies with his feet toward the engine the movement of the car tends to draw the blood from the brain to the feet, cerebral anaemia is produced, and then sleep; but if he lies with his head toward the locomotive (as is the custom in Germany), there is produced a cerebral hyperasmift, incompatible with sweet repose. Dr Mcßride, of the Milwaukee'lnsane Asylum, urges sleeping with the head toward the engine. He holds that with the feet toward the engine the blood tends to the head. In the starting of a train momentum is first given to the car. Bodies in the car resist for a moment, and then acquire the same momentum; but on the least increase of speed they offer resistance —they are not disposed to go as fast as the car. The new coach obviates all troubla on this score. In the new parlor and .sleeping-coaches the old stylejof berths is done away with, and instead sofas are used in separate and neatlittle compartments. These sofas are not parallel to tbe sides of the car, but are placed across the width of the car and against the partitions which divide the car longitudinally. This reduces the sense of vibration. There are no low-backed, hard, narrow seats, with narrow arm rests or heavy, over-hanging beds at the roof, which tend to make the car top heavy and unsteady. By these ■rooms opening out of the hallway greater comfort as well as privacy is obtained. Each room will accommodate from two to four persons. The sofas are luxuriously upholstered and have movable cushions that serve as arm rests. Behind the backs of these sofas are carried by day the .bedding and mattresses. At nighrt the sofa backs, which hinge to the partitions, are swung outward aud upward, being held there in a horizontal position for the upper berth. The heads of the beds are -toward the hallway, thus affording greater protection to life in case of accident. The vestibule entering from the platform contains a dressing room and closet. A smoking- * nr and buffet for refreshments are attached to •ue gentlemen's apartment. By this system the care are better balanced, and passenger are not nauoyedby persons either entering or passing irun the car. Rough on the Quigley Syndicate. Tin report of the receiver of the Toledo, Cincinnati & Sk Louis narrow gauge road, just m side public, ie exciting much eommeiit, and confilms the statements heretofore published in the Journal, regarding the property. His report shows the total net debt of the receiver is $981,* 1 itt. From Jan. Ito Dec. 1,1884, the road failed to earn its operating ecoensce in any single inenth. He says the road ms built in a most H~isy manner, with no terminus *t Toledo.

This has made -operating expenses very heavy. Every wheel turned only increases the road’s misfortune*. Neither the road nor its equipment. comes up to a fair average in value and physical condition, and its gauge has prevented an economical interchange of business with competing roads. The Quigley syndicate, after this report, will find it a difficult matter to induce a Boston capitalist to sink more money this wrecked road. Why General Passenger Agents Give Com- . mercial Travelers the Cold Shoulder. For years past commercial travelers have been complaining of tbs rnju&teee to them on the part of railroads, claiming that they are entitled to still lower rates than are now given, and asking that a style of mileage tickets be adopted upon which they can travel on any road in the United States, and a half dozen other reforms. This all sounds well when talked and in one of their conventions, and it might be good policy to gratify the wishes of this large class of patrons of the railways were all commercial travelers honorable men; but general passenger agents report that they experience more trouble through the dishonorable schemes commercial travelers practice on them than with any other class off travel. Some commercial travelers eeern to be in eahoot with the scalpers. One general passenger agent states that most of the unused tickets which the scalpers get hold of are through commercial travelers, who buy them from passengers en trains. Then, frequently, passes and partially-used 1000-mile ticket*, are to be found on sale at ticket-scalping offices, not brokers’ offices, a* brokers are building up for themselves an excellent reputation by reporting to a road when anv of its passes, 1,000-mile tickets or special tickets are offered them which bear evidence of being an effort to defrand the railroad company. The general passenger agent referred to, said, that too mauy of the commercial travelers had as their motto, “‘anything to beat a railroad.” Cases had been brought to his attention where they had purchased tickets of scalpers by order of the house which employed them, and other cases where the commercial traveler had purchased trip tickets of scalpers at a reduced rate, and then charged full fare to the house for which they traveled/ He mentioned a case of recent occurrence, where an Indianapolis commercial man passed 500 pounds of baggage over one of the roads, claiming that he was an advance agent of a theatrical troupe. He said seldom a day passed that he did not hear of some small trick resorted to by a commercial man, and they all tended to create a prejudice in the minds of general passenger agents. He then mentioned a South Meridian-street merchant who, in 1884, let three men, at about as many different times, travel on a thousand-mile ticket issued to the merchant individually. In each ease the men were not connected with the store, and would have paid full fare but for this dishonorable action on the part of the wholesale merchant He added, there are many very honorable men among commercial travelers, whom the general passenger agents would like to favor, as far as possible, but they suffered through the wrong doings of their brethren, and until commercial travelers showed a disposition to act squarely with the railroads general passenger agents would not change their policy toward them. Forty Thousand Cars in Transit in Northern Indiana and Illinois. Freight men estimate that there were 40,000 loaded ears standing on aide-tracks in northern Indiana and Illinois, Wednesday moraine, which had been detained by snow blockades and severe cold weather. The freight blockade, however, will not last long, and the eastward movement will keep the trunk lines busy until navigation opens, necessitating also a freer distribution of merchandise westward in return. Os course, the railroads which have suffered from snow blockades will have increased expense* to bear in consequence; but this is an ordinary winter risk in the States affected, and will probably make but little difference in the total expenses of the 3 f eaT, especially as it is reported that precautions were generally taken in advance of the heaviest storms by a judicious detention of trains that would otherwise have been snowed ip while in the open country. While it lasted, however, the snow blockade acted as a pretty strict embargo on a very important part of the country's trade, and there is naturally some impatience that it continues so long as it has done. For that portion of the freight business which they are able to transact, the trunk-lines are receiving full rates; but their passenger business is unfavorably affected, o.ni .-as( bound rates are no longer fully maintained, .though it is not yet certain that they will be reduced as much as the west-bound rates have been. In those parts of the country where frost is less important among the conditions of transportation, the railroads seem generally to be earning more money than at the same time last year.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. The State University. to th* Editor / iV* Indianapolis Journal: I hare been bo veil pleased with your recent editorials on tbe measure recently pending before the House of Representatives appropriating $50,000 to the repair of the losses sustained by the State University in her recent fire that I feel constrained to give utterance toit, ad, with your permission, to add something. It is not my purpose to charge the advocates of the amendment redueiug this sum to $30,000 with either penuriousness or jealousy. Both may have prevailed, for they are mighty agencies in thwarting good government. But lam free to state that, whether judging this question from the standpoint of the State’s settled policy—which, after repeated contests, has been adjudged to favor the maintenance of an institution for liberal culture —or from the higher standpoint of what is owing to her youth, the action taken seems at this distance tp partake of none of the characteristics of wise and comprehensive statesmanship. The 6,000 teachers assembled in convention at Madison, during the past summer, bore away with them from that delightful city no impression more powerful than that afforded by the occupancy of its two most commanding sites by its Capitol and its State University. Here were the representatives of the two most important functions of a State. The administration of justice aud the perfecting of citizenship. From the commanding summit of the campus down either slope, trtvetehed the fine buildings of the University, viewing with the Capitol in beauty and completeness, the just pride of Madison and Wisconsin. And asa result of the munifi cent appropriations of the State for higher instructions, when her fine Science Hall burned to tbe ground, $300,000 was not esteemed too § peart a sum to ask from tbe Legislature. In our tate how different! With wealth far in excess of that of Wisconsin, and a vastly larger population, and lying right in the pathway of an immense commerce between tine East and the West, which, in Hie coming years, will make our present $800,000,000 seem small, the policy of fifty years has succeeded in building up an institution only so strong that the modest request of #*0.600, aud that after one of the poorest counties of the State had most generously voted an equal amount, is met by am amendment to reduce it to ifJO.UOO. It is fair *to ask what legislation is fojfl Is it the chief function cif a legislator to look upon appropriation bills as necessary evils, to be scanned, not with the view of public improvement, but of how it may be pared downl Or, is it rather his duty, to inquire into the condition of the State in all its various departments, and, recognizing that some things are of transcendent importance, so legislate that with a wise economy none of these shall suffer. H there be one influence greater than

another which affects favorably the minds of visitors to any commonwealth, it is the attitude which .that commonwealth assumes to educational and charitable interests. Respecting the StateUniversity.it is no longer a question of situation. That institution will live or die where she now stands. All her interests, her traditions, -center about that spot, and she could never root herself anew. That institution is a child of the State, but thus far has seemed more like an outcast than something to be nourished. For years she has been compelled to stand at the door of the Legislature more in the attitude of a beggar with favors to ask than as an institution whose service to the State makes her indispetrsible. And only until recently have her accumulating sens and daughters been able to compel by argument and by facts, an act looking to an adequate foundation in the coming years. There is no diguisingthe fact that a very considerable part of the opposition manifested heretofore has sprang from local jealousy. But opposition that springs from this cause is founded in narrowness and prejudice. Who does not kww that the prosperity of one institution when achieved honorably means added prosperity to the rest No true alumnus of the State University would for a moment begrudge the good fortune of DoPauw. No true friend of Indiana feel other than a thrill of pleasure when that gentleman announces his most princely gift uch acts are part of the noble heritage of tho And whether it be Butler’s, or Hanover’s, or Wabash’s, or Earlham’s good fortune; whether it be private munificence or public bequests, when properly viewed it all merges into one magnificent growth. Not a brick was laid in the walls of Bloomington’s college buildings which did not tell for good upon every institution, far or near Men ask for adequate re* turns. When the record of the alumni of this institution is written it will be enough, to say nothing of the multitudes who have been touched by her influence and elevated. They say the institution is unknown. How will they expect it to vie with Ann Arbor, or Harvard, or Johns Hopkins. when in these institutions salaries from $3,000 to SIO,OOO are not esteemed too runch, and that without any uncertainty of tenure, if so much is needed to call and hold competent men. These institutions, which make famous their States and cities, and are as household words in the mouth of every aspiring youth in this Nation, command resources which multiply buildings, and stock them with the best material for training, and call to their professorial chairs men who command naionai reputation. But this State—a State which assumes to be a leader in educational progress. with a policy of State support for State institutions —proposes to raise a dwarf. Rather does it seem a matter of wonder that our legislators, instead of seeking to render useless their appropriation, by its inadequacy, did not double it. Ido not believe that the people of this State desire any such policy. I believe they want Indiana put in the vanguard ot the States in every particular. And I believe that, if the State, recognizing as completely the measure of her responsibility to her young meu as she does to her little children, should build up her State institutions of learning until they shall be known as Harvard is known, she will find this the surest and most effective way of cementing the foundations of her greatness. At all events, every sensible man will surely concur with you in your conclusion that if the State proposes to continue as an acent in affording higher instruction let it be done as becomes a State of her magnitude and importance, or let her resign tfiis work entirely into private hands.

England in Egypt. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: If the published reports of the proceedings and sentiments expressed at the meeting of ministers last Monday are correct, then, indeed, hare wo drifted upon strange ground. “Adam, where art thou?" What has become of the man of God preaching “good will to all and malice toward none?" What are sinners to think of a minister who, on Sunday, preaches the word of love (!) and the following day says in as many words that though England wages an unjustifiable war upon the Arabs, though she destroys life and property, owing to her rapacity for conquest, it is nevertheless a good thing, because it advances the interests of Christianity? Does it, indeed? Then the Spanish inquisition was no crime! The burning at the stake of John Huss was only a farce: and the thousands of men and women who were tortured—who were put to an ignominious death for opinion's sake were no martyrs at all. The Catholic Church has been charged with many deeds of blood—all for the sake of the church—but she need not mind it now any longer, when we consider that the crimes committed by that ancient church for the sake of religion occurred in the middle ages, when superstition and bigotry were the order of the day. But when, in this age of enlightenment, civilization and tolerance, men supposed to have dedicated their lives to works of love, charity and benevolence—men who are supposed to walk in the footsteps of their Master, who said: “Love thy neighbor as thyself”—when we see such men step boldly forth and justify England’s course, because it advances Christianity, then may we strike from the Bible the words of the prophet Malacbi: “Have we not ail one God? Has not one Father created us all? Then why should brother arise against brother,” etc. n. Drug-Store Saloons. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal; In last week’s Journal is a very pointed editorial urging our Legislature to increase the revenue of our State by taxing or licensing saloons. Why not also tax or license drug stores? Bo far as my acquaintance extends, more than half the liquors sold as a beverage are sold by drug stores. The Legislature may put a saloon license up to SLh9O, and the druggist will pay his United States tax and go right on retailing his liquors the same as ever. His fines for the violations of law in which he is caught, will hardly exceed SIOO a year. I have been on the grand jury, and know from experience, as well as observation, how difficult it is under the present laws to find a bill against a druggist that will stick. lam no friend to the business of saloon-keeping, but it seems to me that our laws should treat alike all persons engaged in the same business.
