AFFATRS OF THE RAILWAYS.

Big Reduction of Expanses. St. Louis, Feb. 16. One of the most rweeping cuts in expenses ever made by the Gould interest has just been accomplished. The method of economizing applies to the Missouri racifie.the Cotton Belt and the Iron Mountain, and is nothing more nor less than the reduction of train -jrvice. Thus, instead of haying local tra'us to follow through trains to pick up the local business, the through trains are compelled io do the work. The Missouri 1 acilic has abandoned its local trains on the Lexington branch, the Wichita branch and a largo number of other branches. The train service on the Iron Mountain between St. Louis and the Texas line has been greatly reduced; also, on the St. Louis, Arkansas & Texas. It is estimated that the Missouri Paoific reduction in train service amounts to fully 2,800 miles per day, or a eaviug of fK),000-per month. Freight Traffic Heavy for Midwinter. The train records of Indianapolis lines for the week ending Feb. 18 show the carxnovement to be. extremely heavy for midwinter. It will be noticed that every road handled more curs at this point than in the corresponding Teek of 1SSS, and on some Toads the increase was very marked. Going back over the records of car-inovement in February for eighteen years, in no week of this month is there bo large a movement shown. In 18S1 and 1882, in which the winter movement was the best in the history of Indianapolis through lines, there were respectively handled 1,2G0, and 1.011 fewer cars than in the eecond week of February, 1839. Eastward there is a heavy movement ?f torn, with quite a sprinkling of lumber 'find a healthy movement of live stock. il m . A 1 f j-pesa is also noticeable. West-bound the tonnage has increased handsomely, last ) "week being in excess of any preceding one ince the second week of December, 18SS. From this on a heavy west-bound tonnage ' is looked for, as spring goods are coming forward for home, Western and Southwestern merchants. Westward from , here shipments of furniture and machinery 'are heavy, rates and prices having so adjusted themselves that manufacturers can . ship to the Southwest and the Pacific coast (points. The west-bound freights now coming through here fehow that the business is carried at better rates than at the corresponding period last year, which is a favorVaDle omen. That west-bound traffic should ' show tip so handsomely, when, owing to . the mildness of the winter, but little anthracite coal is coming west, and praci tically no railway supplies, is rather a surprise. West-bound earnings foot ut favorably. Another favorable feature of the business is that on most roads the movement of loaded cars in both directions is well equalized, the C, I., St. L. & C. being the only road which makes an unfavorable . exhibit in this respect, the east-bound . movement far exceeding the west-bound, 3-et the C, I., St. L. & C. is bringing a i larger tonnage west than at the corregpond- - ing period last year. North-and-south .roads, as well, are doing better than usual rat this season of the year. Local train c is exceptionally good for February, and is . improving daily of late, and notwithstanding the loss of so large a per cent, of their of t coal traffic through the introduction of natural gas, the tonnage handled, both in and outgoing, is seldom neavier than at the J resent time. Since the first of the month ive-stock traffic, both local and through, lias improved handsomely, being considerably in excess of that of the corresponding penodlast year. Below is given the number of cars received and forwarded at Inpianapolis in the week ending Feb. 16, as compared with the corresponding weeks in 18SS and 1887: Loaded Loaded Loaded cars, 18S7.Name of Road. cars, 1889. cars, 1888.

There- -were transferred over the Belt road last week 12,tfJl cars, against 11,703 in tho corresponding week of 1888. South-bound business over the J., M. &. '1. road is reaching nearly one hundred loaded cars a day. Shipments of grain and ice south are heavy. Belt road engines last week handled 867 car-loads of live stock, a gainst 502 car-loads in the corresponding week of 1888, an increase this year of 805 cars. Freight traffic over the C, I., St. L. & C. . continues heavy. Last week 5.023 loaded . cars were handled on the main line, and of : this movement 3,756 cars were east-bound. ; Freight traffic with the Bee-line isimproving, and the east-bound shipments aro J again exceeding the west-bound, tho movement eastward' last week being 1,000, v against 881 received at Indianapolis. For the firat time in many weeks the west-bound business last week was heavier over the Vandalia than the east-bound. There were 1,033 loaded cars sent west, against 871 received at Indianapolis, ono hundred of which wero loaded with live -ctock for shipment east. Personal. Local and State Notes. P. A. Lynn, who represents the AVabash road at Pittsburg, spent Sunday in the city. The new shops of the Ohio & Mississippi at Washington, Ind., will start up this morning. They are said to bo the largest and most convenient railroad shops in this section. The Financial Chronicle of Saturday last reports the actual earnings of 118 roads,' for January, as showing an mcreaso of 2,S09,922 this year over January of 18S8, or U 5-8 percent. The annual meeting of the stockholders m the Bee-line will beheld in Cleveland, March 6. Something definite regarding tho Bee-line-Big Four consolidation will then, probably, be made public. The new trunk-line agreement makes the provisions for arbitration more stringent, ond provides machinery for any road to cooperate with the interstate commission in .detecting and punishing violation of tho contract or of the law. The Baltimore fc Ohio is refusing freight oflered, because it has no cars. All its lteignt equipment is fully occupied on its own line.i. The Pennsylvania is also doing a rushing business, but is not so badly blockaded as thirty days ago. Notice is given by tho master in chancers of the United States District Court of Eastern Michigan of the foreclosure and salo of .the Chicago & Canada Southern road. This is a projected and partlv-bnilt road crossing Michigan, a portion ol Ohio and northern Indiana. The Senate of Nebraska has voted to indefinitely postpone the resolution to enforce a railroad tariff similar to those of Iowa and Illinois. This settles for the present at least the question of an extension of low rates, and doubtless marks tho limit of the anti-railroad fever. Judge Cooley says that the visit of tho commission to Chicago this week is to consider tho rate-sheets of Western roads. The system is now too complicated. The commission propose to make a thorough examination and to recommend that they bo simplified as ranch as possible, so as to bo more easily understood. There seems to b no longer a question as to the consolidation of the Louisville, f.yansville t St. Louis and branches, tho Illinois & St. Louis and the Belleville. Centralia t hastern roads. The consolidation scheme contemplates the building of a line from Itelleville through Centralis, I1L, to a point on the L. K. & St. L. main line. fJ1 that the Baltimore fc Ohio and the Chesapeake & Ohio are hauling such large quantities of grain into Baltimore, a large per csnt. of which is turned over to those roads by the C, L, St. L, fc C still excites much comment The probability is that there is actually no cut in rates, but Xh9 endis reached by the more modern and

scientific process of purchase of the commodity itself, the loss on the corn being offset by the maintenance of rates. This theory would seem favorable to tho producer at least. Frank D. Richards, whoso death was announced yesterday morning, has for three years past been treasurer of the Indianapolis car-works and highly esteemed by his superior officers, lie was very popular with tho men employed about t the works, and thev will be shut down this afternoon to enable tho men to attend the funeral in a body. -The contract for building 250 miles of the Charleston, Cincinnati & Chicago road has now been let at an average of $10,000 per mile. The company has secured control of the only feasible route in a northwesterly direction, through the Cumberland mountains, known as the "Breaks.;' Capitalists in every important city in this East are interested in tho project. The C, II. Sc, I. division of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton is hereafter to bo known as the main line, as more trains are run over it and its connections are more extensive than are those of the C, H. & D. between Toledo and Cincinnati. This road now hauls into Cincinnati through coaches taken on at Indianapolis from four roads, namelv, the Vandalia, the I., D. 5c W tho O., I. & W. and the L., N. A. & C. It is understood that "V ice-president and General Manager McCrea, of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, will this week issue an order similar to that issued on the Pennsylvania lines east of Pittsburg, that no freight trains will be run Sunday except those carrying perishable goods and livo stock. Such a movement on the part of this important railroad system will lead to other roads taking similar action. It is announced that the Mackey syndicate has purchased all the junior securities of the Louisville, Evansville & St. Louis road, most of which were held in Boston1, The Mackey syndicate agrees to buy all the second mortgages at (50 cents, the preferred stock at 25 and the common stock at 12 cents on the dollar. The deal includes all of these securities, and the privilege of selling at these prices will be extended to all holders. George II. Daniels, chairman of the passenger department of the Central Traffic Association, is sending out an article published on Saturday last in tho Inter Ocean, in which the position is taken that the ticket-scalper must go. Asaninidicationthat they are now going out rapidly the Inter Ocean says that the unqualified condemnation of the scalping business by tho interstate commissioners is a strong poiut gained againsscalping. There is no road in the State which is increasing in business to such an extent as the Terro Haute & Logansport division of the Vandalia. The property has been placed in excellent physical condition and travel over the road has increased fully 25 percent. The increase in freight traffic is even more marked, both local and through developing remarkably. Tho annual report of President Mchecn, which will be issued in a few days, shows a very respectable surplus after paying fixed charges and

operating expenses. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, Criticising a Critic. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: I notice that ono W. E. D of Terro Haute, has undertaken, by a communication which appeared in the Journal of Friday, to give the members of the Legislature some information relative to the work being done at this institution. Permit me to say through the columns of tho Journal that we have no defense of our method of conducting : this school to make. Among those who know us and our teachers, and among conscientious people capable of making a critical and thorough inspection of our work, no defense is needed, and the criticism of W. E. D., of Terro Haute, can do no harm. We prof ess to know something more than W. E. D. of the operations of most of the schools for education of the blind in this country, and of the success of their graduates, and we are willing, at all times: making due allowance for our lack of facilities, to compare our work and the success of our graduates, witli those of any of them. We don't know Mr. W. K. D., and, as far as we are ablo to learn, he has never visited this school, and hence he is utterly incapable of passing-judgment upon tho success or failure of our methods of instruction. Men may come and men may go, but the chronic fault-finder is with us all the time. II. B. Jacobs, Sup't. INSTITUTE TOR the Blind, Feb. 16. Married Women's Rights. To tho Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Commercially speaking, a married woman is about as free and independent a creature as a married man. She can make contracts that will "stick" as well as those of her husband, with one exception. Our laws still prohibit her from making contracts of suretyship. A bill to change the law in this respect recently came to a vote in tho Senate and was voted down by that august body. Is there not an opening here for the Women's Rights Association to fill with a little missionary work that will make its married members free in a business sense! They cannot, certainly, hope to become politically free until they are commercially free. They can appeal to the members of tho Legislature with great force by telling them that if the married women are capable of being trusted to make contracts in their own behalf, they certainly ought to be trusted to make contracts in aid of a distressed sjster if they choose to do so. It is believed that a move in this matter by tho association would result in a reconsideration and passage of the bill referred to. Darby and Joan. Lawbesceburo, Ind., Feb. 13. "A BARREL OF HARD CIDER. IIott the Tg Cabin and the Barrel of Cider llecame Political Shibboleths. Address of C. F. Clarkson, at Des Moines, Iowa. In the campaign for the election of General Harrison to the Presidency there were introduced some crude and apparently unmeaning symbols of political principles, and which have been since perpetuated, especially when any of the Harrison family aro candidates. And there are many Republicans as well as Democrats inquiring what "Log Cabin and Hard Cider" meant as political symbols, and why they were adopted. And I have no doubt there wero many in tho late campaign who heartily entered into the canvass, and paraded with the log cabin, without knowing tho sigxi" -i iL- 1 - X ! 1 II , 1 T-1 . w nincauce oi me sign uy wnicu ine v nigs of 1840 proposed to conquer. General Harrison was a poor man, though he had held important positions where fortunes could have been made, from 1791 to 1840. Ho lived in a log cabin at North Bend, O. When nominated for the presidency tho codfish aristocracy of the country was shocked at the idea of making a poor man living in a log cabin President. And the Baltimore Republican, one of the leading Democratic papers, wanted to know "what all Europe would think of such a farce.'' That paper was tho real one which aroused tho log cabin bovs to indignant action from one end of tho Union to the other. As I wish to have it put on record so that Republican and Democratic editors and public speakers will hereafter know the exact orgin of tho log cabin and hard cider symbols in politics, I will quote the words of the Baltimore Republican, a leading Democratic paper of that day, as published the week after tho Harrison nomination, as follows: "Give him HarrisonJ a barrel of hard cider, and settle a pension of two thousand a year on him, and my word for it, he will sit the remainder of his davs in his log cabill by the side of a pea-coal ite and study moral philosophy." The next vf eek the same paper said: "A Proposition It was proposed, soma time since, that General Harrison should bo presented with a barrel of hard cider, on condition of his retiring from tho lield as a candidate for the presidency." The same week the New York Evening Post, edited by the venerable Wm. CulL?n Bryant, said: General Harrison's poverty has awakened the sympathy of tho ladies of his district, and they are now at work getting up subscriptions to supply the war-worn hero with a suit of clothes. If you have any old shoes, boots, old hats or old stockings, send them on. and they will bo forwarded to the hero of North Bend." These and a thousand other sneers and insults were hurled at the man of whomThos. Ritchie, the venerable editor of tho Richmond Inquirer, probably the ablest editor the Democratic party ever had, said: 'He possessed a rare combination of tal-ent-experienced, indefatigable, brilliant,

prompt in his convictions, and decisive in nis execution of orders." . ih nolitical sym

DAILY, SUNDAY Al WEEKLY. The Most Complete Newspaper 4 in all Departments in the State of Indiana. No newspaper In tho West Is more widely of more favorably known than the Indianapolis Joubxal. By the display of enterprise andstrict attention to tho wants 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 tho State it is pre-eminently 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 reports are prepared with the greatest care possible, and no pains or expense are spared to make them accurate and 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 Press and the United Press), in addition to which It furnishes an abundance of special service from all the principal cities of the country. It has been, and will in future be, the aim of the pub Ushers to make the Indianapolis Journal a perfeet and complete newspaper, deficient in no department or particular. The paper challenges comparison with any of its contcmporarios. No Indiana reader, certainly no Indiana Republican, should te"Wlthout the JournaL While it is thoroughly and soundly Republican in polltics, devoted to the interest of the Republican party, the Journal will not allow its news to be colored by partisan bias, but will give tho newa of the day without fear or favor. Owing to the prominence of Indiana in the next administration, the Journal win give par . , - - - . ticular attention to Washington news, -which will be given far more completely than ever before. For this reason, if for no other, no Indiana reader can afford to be without it for the next four years. In addition to its new features, the Journal regales its readers with the productions of some of the best known literary men and women of the day. Many of tho most celebrated magazine writers and authors are contributors to its literary columns, making it a paper for the household and home circle. Special arrangements have been made for features of this character, which will appear in the Journal during the coming year. These appear most largely in the Sunday Journal, which is a special edition, and can be subscribed for and received exclusive of the Daily Journal. THE INDIANA STATE JOURNAL (THE WEEKLY EDITION.)
