AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local. The effort to break east-bound rate* out of phicago has failed. I* C. Foster, the grand organizer of the Brotherhood of Railroad Brakemen, is in the far West Organizing associations. The general committee of the Chicago and Ohio River pool meet at the office of Commissioner Richardson, Chicago, to-morrow. The earnings of the G L, St L & C. road for the first week in April were $39,154.83, against 041*800 the corresponding week of 1885; decrease this year, $2,745.17. The five Western lines brought into this_statkra last week 2,518 loaded cars, against 2.478 in the week ending April 3, and against 3,953 the Botrresponding week of 1885. Thomas Noonan, general manager of the Kankakee new fast-freight line, will arrive in the city to-day and begin making arrangements to open for business May 1. The Vandalia has some twelve hundred loaded san between Terre Haute and East St. Louis •jJjgnding~ on side-tracks, laden with freight for fit. Lohia and other Southwestern points* identified with the syndicate say that Bis Pennsylvania railroad will finally control the psrsey Central road; but it will be done quietly fcd through the Drexel-Morgan syndicate. “Double-header” is the name of anew railroad paper to be published twice a week at Pueblo, Col. John A. Hill, who for years has been an jicgineer on the Denver & Rio Grande, la the edThe passenger men who represent the L., N. |L AC., Air-line, in this district, are doing some peed work, and the passenger traffic of the line Shows a steady, healthy growth. The same is true of the freight business. The Bee-line yesterday turned over to the C., Bt L. & P. the last of 5,000 tons ordered by the pool commissioner to be diverted to the latter to Sven up per cents. The Bee-line has during the time earned its full per cent, in the pool as well. Now that the low transcontinental rates are to pule another week, it is expected travel to the Pacific slope will be heavier than in any prededing week. The strike troubles last week acted as a cbeok of travel westward and even eastward, but it is believed the scare is now wellnigh over. General Agent Wetsell, of*.the Vandalia, expects this morning to be notified that he can resume taking St. Louis business. Matters are moving much more smoothly at East St. Louis, and it is believed that the delayed freights today will begin to move without interference of the mobs. Friends of the Erie claim that Judge Greshatn’s decision in the Chicago & Atlantic case is a victory for the Erie management, while the Chicago & Atlantic people say the advantage rests with Jewett It is thought by parties not interested either in the Erie or the Chicago & Atlantic that the Judge’s opinion will finally result in a compromise. The agent of the Wabash and Hoosac Tunnel lines positively contradicts the reported cutting of east-bound rates. He says they have not taken a dozen car-loads in three days, and every pound contracted for paid full rates. The re ported shipments of 100,000 bushels of grain via the Chesapeake & Ohio are contradicted, as well, by reliable parties who have investigated the Story. Merritt Seeley, one of the victims of the Deerfield disaster, was for several years employed by the United States and Canada Express Company, aud for a time had charge of its offices in Boston and in Concord, N. H. More recently he was the agent of the National Express Company in Boston. He was viee-pressident of the Expressmen’s League. He had many warm friends among those who knew him. The Indianapolis roads which are members of the weighing association began last week to weigh all local freightsshipped. On Friday last at the C., St. L. & P. depot alone the weights given on the shippers' bills fell 21,000 pounds below actual weight, and at other depots the showing is fully as much at variance. The net results of the few days weighing will probably lead all roads centering here to appointing a man whose rei&l duty shall be to weigh freights and see t they are billed out on actual weight The revenue derived therefrom would pay the waees Os h dozen men if the results of the last week’s weighing is a criterion. ' Commissioner Blanchard has issued a call for another general meeting of the Central Traffic Association, to be held at the office in Chicago, on Thursday, April 15, when a number of important questions in both the freight and passenger departments will come up for consideration. Among them are the system of reports for eastbound tonnage; uniform system of inspection gnd weighing; west-bound and ’east-bound through freights. In the passenger department the question of passenger commissions, restoration of through rates, the basis of theatrical and ipecial rates, the issue of passes, etc., will be lonsidered. A meeting of the executive committee of the Railroad and Steamship Agents’ Association, of Boston, was held on Friday, at which appropriate action was taken upon the death of Mr. E. F. Whitehouse, traveling passenger agent of the Chicago A Atlantic railroad, who was killed in the accident on the Fitchburg railroad, at BardWell’s Ferry, on Wednesday evening. A committee consisting of Messrs. O. W. Jordan, passenger agent of the Erie railway, and A. V. Fisher, traveling passenger agent of the Fitchburg railroad, was appointed to accompany the remains to Unity, Me., and represent the association at the funeral of the deceased, which ocGrred yesterday. The decease was quite well own in Western railroad circles. Below is shown the east-bound car movement over the four leading lines in the week ending April 10, as compared with the week ending Anril 3, and as compared with the number of loaded cars forwarded in the corresponding week, 1885: Corresponding April 10.

The Clouds Passing Off. Railroad men who have studied the situation carefully express the opinion that the skies are clearing up somewhat, and that the worst remits of the strike troubles and of the rate wars are already felt The prospects are excellent for the speedy settlement of the rate wars between the *North western roads, which ten days aeo looked decidedly ugly. Then, again, the entire success of the trunk-line meetfbg, coming so auickly after the coal combination had been perfected, demonstrates that the great capitalists of the nation are engaged in removing all possibility of squabbles between prominent corporations. The evident purpose is to pave the way for a grand upward surge that shall be based upon an absolute increase of earniDg capacity. The transcontinental war appears to be in a fair Way of adjustment, as the ralroad companies ire now negotiating with the Pacific Mail Steamship Company in relation to the subject. The Utter matter, the transcontinental trouble, and the strike upon the Gould system are now the only bearish features on the horizon. The labor Strike is surely bad enough, but it is a matter that practically causes loss to oo capitalist except to Mr. Gould. He owns almost all of the Missouri Pacific stock, and, as that road is the principal one suffering from the strike, it should not cause depression in other securities, or demoralize business generally. Must Gat Over Their Spree. The Springfield Republican says legislation is ftttile, either In Congress or in the Legislature, smtil the laboring class get over their spree and modify their claims to run the whole earth. This may require time, and time is the most expensive money. So it will take some time for the year to recover from the effect of these disturbances. Capital has had its drunk, especially Mllroad capital, and “wants recognition,” just like the railroad employes, but the public does not rush into Wall street to “recognize.” It is waiting for evidences of sobriety, all around. After having hired in men who have helped the roads through their crisis, it would be dishonor-

able for the managers to discharge these men and consent to fill their places with the men who struck, many of whom have been guilty of trespass upon property and injury to Ik Another Off Week. The ear movement of the week ending April 10 was the lightest of any week since the second week in July, during the str ke of 1877, when business was practically at a standstill with Indianapolis roads for four days. The train records show that there were received and forwarded at Indianapolis last week but 14,599 oars, and of this number only 10,669 were loaded. In the preceding week there was a total of 15,960, of which number 11,830 were loaded. In the corresponding week, 1885, there was a total of 19,891 handled at this point, of which number 15,223 were loaded cars. The corresponding week of 1884 there were handled at this point 18,203 cars; of that number 14,986 were loaded. An analysis of the above statement shows that 1,161 fewer loaded cars were received and forwarded last week than in the week ending April 3, 4,554 smaller number than in the corresponding week 1885, and 4,317 fewer loaded cars than in the corresponding week 1884. While this unfavorable exhibit is largely due to the strike, it is Quite evident that the volume of traffic aside from labor troubles is dropping below the usual April average tonnage. It will be noticed that the north and south roads begin to show a falling off in business, and these roads are not directly interfered with by the strike. The fact is the markets East are in bad shApe. The lower rates do not move lumber nor increase shipments of provisions. So far as grain is concerned, dealers are doubtless holding it back, expecting lower rates with the opening of navigation, which is near at band, yet indications are that they wili be disappointed. No reduction in rates will be made unless there is a change in programme. Freight men, however, are disposed to take a hopeful view of the matter. The last few days a better export demand for the products of the West has sprung up, and this, it is hoped, will increase east-bound shipments. West-bound freights are coming forward more freely than in the week ending April 3, but the west-bound tonnage ia by no means as heavy as in March, or as heavy as at the corresponding period of 1885. Doubtless freights are held back awaiting the clearing up of the blockade at St Louis. With north and south roads there was a lighter tonnage carried last week than in either week of March, which is rather disappointing, as the business of these roads for a couple of months past has been quite satisfactory. Local business shows some improvement the last two or three days, but is not up to its usual tonnage in April. Below is given the number of cars received and forwarded at this point in the week ending April 10, as compared with the corresponding week in 1885: 1880. 1885] April 10. April 11. Name of Road.

The belief prevails in railroad circles that there will be no reduction in east-bound rates with the opening of navigation. General freight agents, who oppose making any reduction, SAy that a rate based on 20 cents per 100 pounds, Chicago to New York, barely pays the expense of carrying the property, while what business is carried at 25 cents per 100 pounds, the present rate, yields some margin. Further, it is believed that just as large a tonnage will be carried at the higher as at the lower rates, as the lake craft reduce their rates proportionately with the rail rates. Then again, all roads are in the pool except the Chicago & At lantic, and this road promises to maintain tariff rates. Therefore tio road will go below the 25cent rate. Lastly, the roads have determined upon making a winter and summer rate and they want to make it 25 cents per 100 pounds from April 1, to Nov. 1 and 30 cents per 100 pounds from Chicago to New York from Nov. 1 to April 1. Should they, with the opening of navigation, drop even to 22£ cents per 100 pouuds it would be the more difficult on Nov. 1 to advance rates to 30 cents per 100 pounds, and, all things considered, it is thought best to make no reduction by a majority of the roads. Railroad Karnings. The Financial Chronicle of April 10 gives the earnings of sixty roads for the month of March at $17,728,673, against $17,455,619 for the same month last year, an increase of $273,054. and the earnings of sixty roads from January 1 to March 31, at $47,694,752. against $47,280,451 for the corresponding period last year, an increase of $414,301.

Did he kiss the Princess, or did he not? is the important question that has been agitating German society lately. The Vienna New Free Press says “No;’’ but the Baden-Baden journals, which may be supposed to contain the report of eyewitnesses. say “Yes.” On the other baud, the New Free Press may draw its information from the lady herself, and she surely should know. Let us explain. During the carnival, the Empress of Austria, who has been staying at Baden, was walking in the Lichtenthaler Aile, accompanied by her daughter, the Archduchess Valeria, and her sister, the Countess Irani, with her daughter, the Princess Maria Theresa of Bourbon. The Darty were walking two and two, the young Princess in front and the Empress and her sister behind. ' A carnival procession came past, ard he royal sis tors stopped to look at it. from the ranks of the procession a youth dressed like a circus clown darted forward, rushed among the spectators, threw his arms around the Princess Maria, and appeared, at least, to kiss her. Before the young lady had recovered from her surprise and indignation the man had regained his place ia the procession, aud the Empress langhed the whole affair off as a seasonable joke. The clown, however, got himself arrested, later on, for some other boisterous prank. He was taken before the magistrate and recogiiized as a journeyman baker; but, as it appeared that he had no idea of the rack of the ladies be had treated bg lightly, he was dismissed with a reprimand and a caution.

YESTERDAY’S SECOND EDITION. [The following items of newt appeared in our Second Edition of Sunday;] Huge Labor Demonstration at Cbloago. Chicago, April 10.—Fully 8,000 workingmen crowded into the great armory of the Sixth Cavalry, on the lake front, to-night, and probably 4,000 more gathered in front of the building. The occasion had been advertised as an eighthour demonstration, under the auspices of the Trades Assembly. A large proportion of the assemblage came in organized bodies, preceded, by fife and drum and carrying huge transparencies. Few of the men wore any regalia, and apparently no attempt at display was made except in point of numbers. Neither was there anything resembling a procession. The various unions came trooping from all directions, and first come first served was the rule as to seats. Nevertheless excellent order was maintained, bats were promptly removed at the first tap of the chairman’s gavel, and the two or three hundred of the men’s wives and sweethearts who occupied tiers of seats in a place of honor were shown marked consideration by the abandonment of pipes and cigars in their vicinity. A curious feature of the mooting was the noticeable absence of youths and aged men. The audience was almost wholly composed of men between twerty-five and forty, comfortably clad, and few, if any, showing a sign of liquor. There were not to exceed a dozen police to be seen in or about the hall. Interest centered in the transparencies, and as union after union, at irregular intervals, marched into the hall, and the crowd caught sight of the mottoes, the speakers’ voices were lost in rounds of cheers that were renewed again and again: “Eight hours and no drones,” “Work eight hours only and boom the labor market,” and “Oppose child labor,” were fair samples. Among the trades represented the most numerous were the carpenters, plasterers, clothing-cutters and cigar-makers, but a long list of others were not far behind in point of number. George A. Schilling acted as chairman. Ranged about him on the platform were the leaders of the local unions and men prominent in the labor movement. Among the latter sat Judge Richard Prendergast, of the State bench. Alexander Sullivan also occupied a seat on the platform. The addresses of the evening were delivered by Thomas E. Hill, who spoke of the progress of the eight-hour movement; W. H. Ssltal and L. N. Sawyer, who spoke on advantages of organization. Just as the overflow meeting was fully under way a burly individual in a long coat, and wearing a shabby slouch hat, mounted a pile of lumber in front of a saloon on the outskirts of the crowd, and began a Socialistic harangue. About the same time there emerged from the hall in which the eight-hour demonstration was being held a file of men bearing a red flag having on it an inscription in German. This banner had been borne in the hall while the meeting was in progress, and, being of dingy hue, and kept furled, was not distinguished from the half dozen other flags, all of which were the regulation stars anil Stripes. About five hundred evidently earnest sympathizers drew close to the Socialist orator who proved to be an Anarchist named Sam Fielding. At his feet sat his negro wife. On the outskirts of the gathering of Fielding’s supporters, were an equal number of curiosity-seekers, making his audience a round thousand. The first-named class of listeners were easily discerned by their hearty applause of Fielding’s sentiments, and the fact that their cries and conversation were not in English. Inquiries directed to the two men who bore the red flag developed the fact that neither of them could speak the language in which Fielding was addressing the crowd. He was succeeded by A. It. Parsons, who assailed the Knights of Labor, after whieh his hearers formed in line and marched to the hall of the International Society. The other meetings, both in the hall and on the outside, were prolonged much later. But few references were made by the speakers to the existing railway strikes, and their principal point was that strikes should be made practically impossible. Though the strikers were practically left untouched by the speakers, an expression of the feeling of the multitude was given in the following, which was adopted by acclamation, amid the wildest enthusiasm: Resolved; That this mass-meeting of citizens of Chicago denounces the perfidy of Jay Gould in breaking his agreement with the Knights of Labor to settle the causes of the present strike iu the Southwest by arbitration. By nis letter of Sunday, March 28 last, to T. V. Powdeily, Geueral Master Workman of the Knights of Labor, Gould stated in substance that the grievances of the men now on strike on the Southwestern railroad system would bo submitted to arbitration. This letter was written to Powderly after two interviews on that Sunday at Gould's house, and as part of the agreement between Gould and the Knights of Latfor. In accordance with the same agreement, General Master Workman Powderly telegraphed the men on strike to return to work at once. Gould, the next day, by falsehood and double dealing, violated this agreement, and he did this plainly for the purpose of demoralizing the Knights of Labor. We. therefore, declare that the conduct of Gould in this matter is base in tho extreme. and we call upon tho public everywhere to familiarize themselves with the facts iu the cane, and to judge who is to blame for the continuance of the strike—Gould or the Knights of Labor. Some of the city papers estimate that the gathering numbered between 15,000 and 20,000 men. It was probably the largest labor demonstration ever held in this city. Investigating the East St. Louis Tragedy. St. Louis, April 10.—The inquests on the bodies of the people killed yesterday afternoon by deputy sheriffs, in the yards of the Louisville & Nashville railroad, in East St. Louis, began at 2:20 this afternoon. The first witness was Joseph Mitchell, formerly in the employ of the Ohio & Mississippi road. He said he was on the Broadway crossing at the time the shooting began; saw about ten deputies on the Louisville & Nashville trestle; saw no stones thrown, but heard the crowd call the deputies names, and laugh at them. A little man, who appeared to be the leader, told the crowd to disperse, and than, a minute after, fired into them, and a man standing near a telegraph pole fell. The crowd then turned and ran, and all the deputies fired into them. Robert McGarlghan, a locomotive engineer, said he was standing on the bridge when the deputies came on the trestle. The man who fired the first shot was named Hewlett, I think; when they reached the trestle he shouted out, “Get off that crossing, every one of you; cet, now, or we will kill half a dozen of you.” The crowd yelled at this, and the man who had been talking came out and said, “I am a deputy sheriff, and I want you all to disperse.” Then Officers Dalton and Mahoney stepped in front of the road, holding up their hands as if to warn the deputies not to shoot. This little leader then fired right into the crowd. James M. Kellogg, an engineer, said: “I was on the spot for half an hour before the shooting; saw the coal train pull out; after that about ten deputies gathered on the trestle, and the crowd yelled ‘scabs’ and ‘rate.’ Then a little man, who seemed to be leader of the deputies, stepped out and yelled, ‘Get off of that crossing, every one of you; I am a deputy marshal,' and he showed a star. He put his gun to his shoulder twice, and the last time pointed at officer Mahoney's breast He then turned the gun toward another man and fired, and the man fell. The fireman, the man they call the ‘Cowboy,’ came up at this time with his gun and pointed it at the crowd, who yelled, and the little man again said, ‘I am a deputy marshal, and I want yon to disperse.* He then almost instantly fired his gun and killed the man standing near the telegraph pole. The Cowboy fired and then gave hie gun to somebody else, and pulling two revolvers fired indiscriminately into the crowd on the bridge; when the people left the bridge, he turned his revolvers toward the Green Tree Tavern, and Mrs. Pfeiffer fell at his first fire." Four or five other witnesses were examined, bat their testimony was of the same general tenor as the above. All agreed that Hewlett fired the first shot, and most of them said that no stones were thrown, and that there was no provocation for the shooting, other than the yelltng and jeering of the crowd. The inquest will be continued on Monday. Arbitration Must Be Conceded. Scranton, Pa., April 10.—General Master Workman Powderly this morning stated that the rumor that he was preparing a statement to the public or the Knights regarding the Southwestern troubles was without foundation, “The federal executive board,” said he, “has done evervthing possible for a settlement of the difficulty, and the responsibility for what follows rests entirely upon others, and matters will have to take their own course unless arbitration is conceded. If this is done then there trill be no difficulty in bringing this strike to a speedy close. This is the only point where trouble exists, and I

believe that the country will never again see so formidable a strike, as employes and employers have learned that tha easiest way of settling disputes is by arbitration—the corner-stone of the Knights of Labor.” While Mr. Powderly has improved in health, he is by no means & well man. 4- Knox County Political Deal. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Vincennes, Ind., April 10.—The latest sensation in local politics transpired late this afternoon, when Auditor James A. Dick, Democrat, filed anew bond with S. N. Chambers and Captain Tindolpb, Republicans, and Charles W. Padgett, Democrat, as sureties. Recent disclosures of crookedness in Mr. Dick’s office caused his original bondsmen to procure a release, and Judge Malott gave him ten days notice to file anew bond. The time expired this morning, and Mr. Dick came forward with a bond which Malott would not accept Mr. Dick then carried out a threat he bad made during his ten days’ search for bondsmen, that if the Democrats failed him he would fall back on Republicans, and he went at once to Chambers and Tindolpb, Republican leaders, who went on his bond in consideration, it is stated, of the right to name Mr. Dick's deputy. Frank Reiter is the present deputy, but he will have to walk the plank, and J. C. Adams, ex-editor of the Commercial, will take his place. This relieves Mr. Dick of present difficulty, but it will make his re-election impossible. Ever since the discovery of his crookedness—which has sinee been straightened out, the Democrats have been well nigh unanimous in demanding his withdrawal from the ticket, Writ he has steadily refused to consider such a thing. His present act, in praotically turning his office over to the Republicans, unties hostile Democratic hands, and men who felt a delicacy in opposing him before are now out-spoken and vehement, declaring that he must and shall be beaten, even at the cost of electing a Republican. The matter is all the talk to-night, and it will probably precipitate the trouble with the ticket that has bean brewing for a month past Fire and Loss of Life, Lawrence, Mass., April 10.—Fire broke out at 10:30 to-day in the dye-house, the smallest of the Pemberton mills, and after a fierce conflagration of nearly three hours, the building, which was three stories high and sixty feet long, was gutted. The loss is SIOO,OOO, fully covered by insurance. At 12:30 p. m. the roof fell, carrying down the two floors below, and also fifteen men who were fightiDg the flames. All bat four of these men escaped by climbing out of the ruins. Os the four men burned, George McKenzie was soon rescued, but died at 3:30 p. m. from the effects of bis injuries. George Silva was quickly extricated from the ruins, having sustained severe, but not fatal injuries. John Miller, a fireman, lay for nearly two hours on the second floor, under a heap of debris, the flames blazing near him. Miller’s jaw and left leg were fractured, and his right leg was badly burned from his hip to ankle. He will die. Os the men who escaped, A. Briggs, P. Wilcox and D. H. Jamser were badly hurt. Fireman Morrill, of the Andover fire department, suffered the amputatioh of several fingers. Geo. Qniuby was thrown from an engine and severely hurt, and Florence McCarthy had both legs fractured. One has been amputated and the other must be if he lives. The burned mill employed 700 hands. It will take three weeks to rebuild it. It was the only cne left standing on Jan. 10, 1860, when, at 5 p. m. , without a word of warning, the large mill foil, hurrying between 600 and 700 operatives. A Novel Testimonial. Washington, April 10.—A number of prominent Irishmen now in Washington, whose homes are in different parts of this country, met tonight and resolved to prepare a testimonial to Gladstone and Parnell In the shape of two mammoth albums, identical in all respects. In these albums they propose to collect the editorial opinions of American newspapers published on Mr. Gladstone’s announcement of Thursday in the House of Commons. For this purpose they desire every newspaper published in cities in the United States having a population of 10,000 and upwards, to send two copies of their issues containing editorial comments upon Gladstone's speech to J. I). Connell, Washington. Such newspapers as are not voluntarily contributed will be procured by purchase. Among the gentlemen who were present to-night were Representative William Woodbarn, of Nevada; J. Keogh and J. D. Connell, of New York; Gen. A. G. Malloy, of Texas; Felix Brannigan, of Mississippi; Frank Burke and James Ryan, of Washington. Naval Maneuvers at Pensacola. Pensacola, Fla., April 10.—The fleet was called to quarters at 9 o’clock last night. The display which followed has filled the city with enthusiasm. The bay was a sheet of flame. The houses of the city shook with the roar of the guns, while fire works, colored lights and signals added to the grand exhibition. On Monday the fleet will engage iu a grand boat drill. On Tuesday the naval brigade will land from boats, assailing the troops ou land, under the guns of the rnan-of war Yantic. The assailing force will be covered by the guns of the squadron, which will shell the troops on land. The marines, blue jackets, artillery and pioneers will remain in camp for a week or ten days. On Saturday next, or the Monday following, a sham battle will be fought on shore. The assault of the naval brigade, first announced for Tuesday, is now fixed for Wednesday next. The boat drills will occupy Monday and Tuesday. A torpedo attack will be made on Tuesday night on the flag ships. Detroit’s Turbulent Poles. Detroit, April 10.—Several times it has been supposed that the Polish church war was ended, but eAch time it turned out otherwise. Recently Father Kolasinski left town, and the end was believed at hand. But Kolasinski has returned, and is stopping with Joseph Trygbylowski. His return has been the occasion for all manner of rumors, and his friends threaten the life of Father Dombrowski, who is now in charge of the convent. They also openly say that they propose to storm the church aud convent to-morrow, and also wreak vengeance on certain active opponents of Father Kolasinski, and there is much excitement among Poles in consequence. A squad of police has been detailed to guard the property, and trouble may yet be averted. Seventeen Boars of Tortnre. Vienna, April 10.—Herr Szererceny, a high Hungarian railway official, has been arrested in connection with the death of his daughter Irma. The latter, after a quarrel with her step-mother, took phosphorus. She was locked in a room by her step-mother, who forbade her servants to open the door until the girl’s screams had ceased.

When Mr. Joseph Arch was lately “banqueted” by the National Liberal Club of England, be told in his speech of a laborer whom he knew who had on his allotment of land raised sixty-two bushels of wheat and sixty bushels of potatoes, was the owner of seven fat hogs, and besides in the year had earned $286.87 as a laborer. Great curiosity was excited to learn the name and the address of this “happy peasant,” but Mr. Arch was suspiciously reticent when asked concerning the matter, and would merely say the man might be found at Welford. A London Standard correspondent accordingly went to Welford to find him. The first agriculturist who was questioned proved far from being the ideal laborer whom Mr. Arch had so glowingly pictured. He had only raised on his plot of ground about six pecks of wheat and six pots of potatoes, while five half-crowns represented the sum total of his earnings during the past ten weeks; and with more force than elegance he proceeded to characterize Mr. Arch as an unmitigated liar. The investigation was. however,' continued, and at length a man was found who corresponded in some degree to the happy individual for whom search was being made. This man, in addition to cultivating a small holding to the extent of three roods twenty-two perches, carried on the trade of a hauler. His earnings possibly amounted to the sum named, but out of this he had to pay his son and his son-in-law. He raised about forty bushel of cone wheat (being at the rate of sixty bushels to the acre), but he bad no potatoes. Seven fat hogs, indeed, Inhabited his stye, but they were the joint stock of himself, bis son and his son-in law.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL SPRING ANNOUNCEMENT. THIS DAILY JOURNAL. There never was a season of more special and general interest than the present, with the promise of increasing importance until the country is face to fact with the great presidential struggle of 1888. In Indiana thi3 is particularly true; for Indiana is already. in the preliminary work of the campaign of 1886, the result of which is to decide the choice of a member of the United States Senate, and to exert a profound influence upon the character and outcome of the quadrennial struggle. Not only in this view is the approaching campaign in this State of unusual interest, but it is of much importance locally to the people of Indiana. The citizens of this State are suffering from the maladministration of the Democratic party and from the outrageous partisanship of the last two General Assemblies. The State institutions have been prostituted to the basest party ends, taxes have been illcreased, debt has been piling up, and there is demoralization everywhere, from the lowest to the highest department of civil government. These questions of local administration must be met and generally discussed by all the people, in view of the eleotion to be held next November, at which a verdict upon them I* to be rendered by the court of last resort. No Republican in Indiana can well afford to be without THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL during this time. Its columns will be devoted to a faithful and Intelligent discussion of all these questions in which the people have so deep and abiding a concern. The political character of The JOURNAL la fixed and well known. It is a Republican devoted with its best energy and ability to the advocacy of the principles of the Republican party. The Journal believes there is still a pressing demand foi real, honest, upright Republicanism, and to answer that, so far as it may be able, is it desire and purpose. The Journal’s columns will be edited with earnestness and sincere ity, but with a due and proper regard to candid differences of opinion, and with full appreciation ol the privileges of personal judgment and the rights of private character. In its political conduct Thl Journal will never bo the organ of any man nor the subservient tool of any faction. In local affairs it will continue to assert independence of dictation in the assumed name of party, subordinating at all timos what may seem to be temporary partisan advantages to the good of the whole community, and thereby the real, permanent benefit of the Republican organization. Honest measures of reform will meet with hearty commendation, but political charlatanism will be re* baked. The Journal offers its past record in support of its claims for the continued confidence of the public. In view of the pending political struggle in the State we believe no better agency for Republican success can be found than to increase the circulation of The Journal, both Its daily and weekly issues, among the people. We call the attention of political committees in tho various oountios and districts to this suggestion. THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, Asa newspaper, commends itself to everyone, irre spective of partisan consideration. No partisan zeal interferes with its comprehensive collection and fair publication of the news. Its high character as a newspaper is universally recognized, and itngw rank* with the best newspapers of the country in point of completeness, and promptness and accuracy in deal* ing with the news of the world. The news featured of The Journal for the current year have heed largely increased. Attention is called to the superior character of the news from the field of its immediate circulation. We have special correspondents in all of the more important towns and cities of Indiana, eastern Ohio, and central and southern Illinois, and noth* ing of general interest occurring within these limits is omitted from the columns of The Journal, Its general news is not excelled by any paper. Its Washington service iB as full and reliable, and readable as that of any metropolitan paper anywhere. No paper in tho oountry is served with more comprehensive or aocurate reports from Washington than The Journal. The financial and commercial columns of The Journal are full and accurate. The department of railway news is maintained as heretofore. Its local depart ment is written by trained and competent reporters, and can be relied on to give all the news worth giving, and give it intelligently and candidly. THE SUNDAY JOURNAL Has become the favorite issue of tho week. The edition printed on that day is spocially prepared, and id steadily increasing in circulation from week to week It is sought after with avidity by both readers and shrewd, enterprising advertisers. The literary character of the Sunday Journal is as high as that of any paper in the United States. Besides the best writers in this oountry and in Europe, whose works have appeared, and will continue to appear in its columns, The Journal has introduced to the public many writers whoso poems and sketches have now a fixed and standard literary character and authority. While drawing upon the beat authors of the world for original matter for its columns. The Journal has been and will continue to be specially the medium through which local writers of the best class may find an ap preciative audience. The Sunday Journal reaches all points possible to be reached by railway early on the day of its publication. THE WEEKLY JOURNAL. The Weekly Journal has been enlarged to twelve pages, making it the largest weekly paper circulating in this territory. The weekly edition is a complete compendium of the news of the week, with special features of late and trustworthy market reports, and a department of industrial and agricultural intelligence, carefully prepared by an editor of long experience, and is printed and mailed the morning of the day off which it is dated. In these respects The Weekly JOURNAL is superior to sny mere agricultural paper, for the field it covers is infinitely more extensive than that which can be occupied by the special press. The sermon of Dr. Talmage will appear in The Weekly Journal each week. Special ttention is called to the value of The Weekly Journal from a political point of view.
