AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. . An Increase In Car Movement. Tho train records sliovr that tho movexnent of loaded cars iu the week ending Feb. 9 was tho largest of any week for several months past, und eonsiderablj in excess of the corresponding week last year. The loaded cars which have been going West for some time past have begun to return, and there has been something of an increase in tho ea6t-bound movement of grain and live stock. Export traffic, however, continues light, as compared with former years in February. This is largely due to the weak flour market, both East and abroad. Shipments of staves, headings and lumber generally are heavier than last month,and all combined has improved the east-bound movement. The west-bound tonnage is averaging well with former years, and ten days from now will likely be much heavier, as the wholesale merchants will begin to receive their spring aud summer stocks in large shipments. With the absence of shipments of railway supplies and of tuthracito coal on account or the mildness of the "weather, it is rather surprising that the earnings on west-bound traffic are so well lield np. Rates, however, are better than at the corresponding period last year. . North-and-south roads aro doing finely. Shipments of grain, provisions and ice southward are increasing, and for some weeks to come promise to increase rather than diminish. Northward Southern pine is moving in train loads, the prosperity of tho Northern car-works being of great benefit to the Southern roads. One striking featuro of the south-bound business is the large shipments of machinery from Northern shops to be utilized in tho new manufacturing establishments now starting all over the South, more especially in Tennessee and Alabama. Local business is good. The solid country roads have enabled the farmers to reach the railway stations with their products, and have, as well, enabled the wholesale men to distribute their goods more readily. Earnings on local business are holding up in a manner that is gratifying, as, with tho lighter inovement of coals and of live stock, a deficit had been expected; but tho earnings on other classes of freight have so increased that the deficit from the traffic above alluded to is fully otlset Then, it should be Lome in mind tnat comparisons are now made with earnings after the lower rates in 18S8 went into eflect. The freedom from severe cold weather and snow blockades, as well, has much to do with the increased "volume of business, when compared with the corresponding period last year. Below isgirenthe number of cars received and forwarded at Indianapolis in the weekendSrg Feb. y, as compared with the corresponding weeks in 1887 and 1SS8. ,

The Vandal ia brought in from the West, last week, 1,003 cars, of which number 138 were loaded with stock to go to Eastern inarkets. There were transferred over tho Belt Toad last week, 12,453 cars, against 11,667 in the corresponding week of 1SS8, an increase this year of 786 cars. Belt road engines last week handled 918 car-loads of live stock, against 502 car-loads in the corresponding week of 1888, an increase this year of 416 car-loads. South-bound traffic with the through lines is unusually heavy. Last week the J., M. & I. forwarded South 617 loaded cars, t he largest south-bound movement over tho Jine in any one week for some years. The east-bound movement over tho C.,L, St.. Li. &. C. road, last week, was the largest of anvweekin its history. Of a total of 6,402 loaded cars, which were handled on tho main line, 3,642 were moved eastward. Tho movement of loaded cars with most roads in both directions is quite evenly balanced, there being fewer empty cars moving than for some months past. Last week tho Bee-line brought in lroni the East 810 and f orwarded from here 850 loaded cars; the C, I.. St. L. & P. brought in 641 and forwarded 744 loaded cars, and on tho other roads, the C, I., St. L. & C. excepted, the movement was in about the same proportion. Fersonal, Local and State Notes. President Fish and other Eastern capitalists, who are interested in the Illinois Central road, are in the West on business. Report has it that tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company is to issue $4,000,000 of new stock at par. The stock is now selling at 110. J. L. Orblnson has been appointed superintendent of telegraph on tho Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton lines, vice L. P. Minier, resigned. Forty-nine railroads show an increase in Cross earnings, in tho first week of February, over those of the corresponding week in 1888, of 018,500, or 14.73 per cent. General McXulta, Receiver of the Wabash road, who has been East for ten days in consultation with the friends of tho property, is expected home to-morrow. The Louisville, New Albany &, Chicago road earned in the month of January $156,272, an increase over the earnings ot the corresponding month in 18S8 of 20,802. Chicago interests of consequence are now to be identified with the management of the Chicago &. St. Louis road, which, a few fla s ago, dropped into the hands of a receiver. Some of tho managers of the roads in the Central Traffic Association are not taking kindly to the propositions of Chairman Blanchard looking to the making of a castiron agreement to maintain rates. Tho Kentucky fc Indiana Bridgo Company has finally agreed and elected as president John F. Moore, a business man, and eteps will be taken at once to relievo the company of its financial embarrassment. The Michigan Central management has decided to adopt the eighty-pound-to-the yard rail, instead of the sixty-five pound, the weight now in use, the heavier traffic over the road nece ssitating such a change. Commissioner Fink will this week call a meeting of the trunk-line presidents to take action on the new agreement which has .been drawn iu connection with tho formation of the Interstate Railway Association. The citizens of Evansvillo are so well satisfied that the Mackev syndicate has captured the Louisville, Evansvillo & St. Louis road that they are already moving to induce President Mackey to locate large shops at that point. Thrt general passenger agent of tho C, B, . Q. has notilied the company's agents at all points that tho Western States passenger agreement was made to be obeyed, and that the penalty of immediate discharge awaits any agent caught shading rates. Most of tho passenger trains on the Michigan Central road are now equipped with the Martin anti-tire car-heating device. Tho tovea are left in the coaches, but are not to be lighted unless through some accident the Fupoly of steam from the locomotive is, cut on. The citizens of Xew Albany are comforting themselves with the belief that if it is true that the Mackey syndicate has secured 'eontrol of the Louisville, Evansville fc St. I.onis road, that city can fare no worse under its rulo than it has under the Air-lino management. , At the meeting of the Western Freight Association, to be held in Chicago to-morrow, it is thought that interstate rates will be forced down in consequence of the reduction in Iowa rates. As the matter now etands. the two local rates are lower than tho interstate rates. j The-Terro Uaute car-works, on Saturday, completed its contract of building one hundrtd palace stock cars, and this morning will iR-gin on two hundred box cars for tho Bee-line. They also have a contract to build seventy-five refrigerator cars for the American Refrigerator Transit Company. Tho revised agreement of the Central Tratlic Association docs not materially Change the organization, except that it is t9 b governed Ivy a board of managers

composed of the president or chief executive officer of each road. There is also to be a committee of three on arbitration to settle dispute's. Tho passenger department of tho Bee-line has published a very attractive book complete with information regarding the Vanderbilt system of roads and the railroad interests of the country generally. It also contains a large number of pnoto-litho-graphs, the Union Station at Indianapolis being one of the number. Tho roads most affected by the rates that the Commissioners of Iowa propose to enforce arq the C, B. & Q.,with its 4,603 miles of road; the C.,M. & St P., with its 5.GC9 miles, and the C. fc N., with its 4,210 miles. Each has largo mileage in Iowa, the C, B. & Q. 797, the C..M. & St. P. 1,573, and theC. &N. 1,1(3. The action of the Legislature of Kansas has dealt a death blow to tho present system of weighing cattle. If stock is not weighed at all points it will not be weighed at any shipping point, as the non-weighing point is given the advantage. It is thought that on Tuesday the Western Live-stock Burean, which has had charge of this matter, will pass out of existence. Commencing with the business for the month of February, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company will divide the receipts from collections on excess baggage pro rata among all its connections cntitlea to share in them, relying upon their good faith for equally fair treatment in return. The Pennsylvania people inaugurate this reform from a sense of justice to their connections. About one-third of the freight equipment of the Pennsylvania road has a carrying capacity of 00,000 pounds to the car. Ten years ago 30,000 pounds per car capacity was the standard on the Peunsylania lines. All light cars then in use on the main lines have been transferred to the roads which have a large local business. No cars of less than 50,000 pounds capacity are now built by the Pennsylvania people. The citizens of Richmond are somewhat alarmed lest that city becomes a much less important railroad point than it has been in the past. The general offices of the C, St. L. & P. were recently removed from that city to Indianapolis, and to-day it ceases to be tho terminal point of the C, R. fc C. road, all trains running through with their crews from Cincinnati to Logansport, except two accommodation trains. The Central Traffic Association, following in the footsteps of tho Western Passenger Association, intends to , adopt rules which will play havoc with the scalpers. The intention of the former association is to legislate beyond the mark set hy the Western States Passenger Association, and provide for the redemption at the regular ticket offices of unused portions of any kind of tickets at their full pro rata value. The matter will be acted on at the meeting in Chicago to-morrow. NEWSPAPER LAW.

Offensive Editorial and Partisan Criticism of Legal Declsidtis. Xew York Mail and Express. The intemperate criticism by the Indiana Democratic press of Judge Woods's instruction to the grand jury in the Dudley case is indicative of a lawless state of mind. Tho Judge, in the discharge of his duty, has, in effect, announced that Mr. Dudley is not charged with any crime known to the laws of the United States. Not only was it the Court's duty to make this announcement, but tho Judge is innocent of any offense, even if he has made a mistake. That he has not made a mistake is tho opinion of- Justico Harlan, of the Supreme Court, who was consulted by Judge Woods, and of many Democratic laryerc in Indiana, among them being exSenator McDonald's partner. Notwithstandi."i; this, it is said that the criticisms made by : be Democratic newspaper of Indianapolis amount to abuse or the privileges of tho press, and may subject the editors and publishers to punishment for contempt. For oir own part, we think that it would be well to make an example of a few editors who think that the courts ought to interpret the law in accordance with the fancies and wishes of laymen. It is altogether too much tho habit of editors to assume tho prerogatives of omniscience. It is in the administration of justice, however, that newspapers interfere most offensively.' . There is no wiser principle of our system than that the decisiousof the courts should be respected and obeyed. Those tribunals are constituted for the purpose of settling controversies. Those who preside over them may make mistakes; but their function is to determine disputes, and a dispute cannot be determined if the decision of the court remains a matter for contention in the public press. We aro not now sneaking of corrupt decisions. A judge who is willfully wrong is impeachable; but even here the newspapers have a duty to discharge to the accused official. In this Indiana case Judge Woods has doubtless correctly stated the law. As we have said, ho is sustained by eminent lawyers of the opposite party. But his decision is against the Democratic politicians, who are anxious to imprison a Irivato citizen because their candidate for Resident has been defeated. Therefore they denounce the Judge because his view of the law has been contrary to the wishes inspired by their party passions. There aro few graver offenses tnat can be committed against the community than that of which the Indianapolis Sentinel has been guilty. The newspaper that unsettles popnlar faith in the laws and tho courts, when corruption is not charged and when an issue of law, in fact, is alone involved, strikes at the very roots of social order. And that, we regret to say, is tho usual character and effect of newspaper law. Every good citizen who has the integrity and perpetuity of our institutions at heart ought to pray that the country be delivered from this growing and threatening affiiction. Keeping the Fraud Account Straight. Little Rock (Ark.) Gazette (Dem.) Thero have been nine poll-books stolen right here within the very shadow of tho State-house " declared the speaker. 'It is false!" thundered Coffman, of Pulaski, as he sprang to his feet with indignation on his brow and fierce passion in his voice. "There were but sixr t Let the truth of history bo vindicated. "There were but six." Let the honor of Pulaski county be redeemed from the charge of the theft of nine poll-books. There were but six.w A crime has been committed, but, as Mrs. Easy's servant-girl explained, on a certain occasion made famous by Dickens, it is not so large as it might have been. Let the account of fraud bo creditedwith three poll-books not stolen. Real Estate Transfers.

DAILY, SUNDAY AND WEEKLY. The Most Complete Newspaper in all Departments in tlio State of Indiana. No newspaper In tho West is njore widely or more favorably known than the Indianapolis Journal. By the display of enterprise and strict attention to the want of the reading public, during the great campaign of 1888, it has taken a leading position among the most prominent Journals of the country, and is certainly among the. best. Among the newspapers of the State His pre-eminentl'the best, and Indiana readers can nowhere else find -what they want in the way of State and local news. It circulates largely in every county in Indiana, and has correspondents in every town and village of importance. Its market report are prepared with the greatest care possible, and no pains or expense are spared to make them accuratoand absolutely reliable. It is the only newspaper in the State owning and publishing all the news furnished by the two great press associations (the Western Associated ITe8s and the United Press), In addition to which It furnishes an abundance of 6pccial eervicefrom all the principal cities of the country. It has been, and will in future be, the aim of the pub Ushers to mako the Indianapolis Journal a per- ' feet and complete newspaper, deficient in no de partment or particular. Tho paper challenges comparison with any of its contemporaries. No Indiana reader, certainly no Indiana Re publican, should be without tho JournaL While it is thoroughly and soundly Republican in polltics, devoted to tho interest of tho Republican party, the Journal will not allow its news to be colored by partisan bias, but will give the news of the day without fear or favor. . Owing to tho prominence of Indiana in tho next administration, the Journal will give particular attention to Washington news, which will bo given far moro completely than ever before. For this reason, if for no other, no Indiana reader can afford to bo without it for the next four years. In addition to its new features, tho Journal regales its readers with the productions of some of the best known literary men and women of the day. Many of the most celebrated magazine writers and authors are contributors to its literary columns, making it a paper for the household and home circle. Special arrangements havo been made for features of this character, which will appear in tho Journal during the coming year. These appear most largely in the Sunday Journal, which ia a special edition, and can be subscribed for and received exclusive of the Daily Journal, THE INDIANA STATE JOURNAL (THE WEEKLY EDITION.) One Dollar per year, has a circulation extending to every county in Indiana and adjacent territory. It is a complete compendium of the news of the week, accompanied by the latest market reports, and special departments devoted to agricultural, horticultural and household topics.
