AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWATS.

Mackey's Recent Purchases. St. Louis. Feb. 24. Tlio purchase by the Ulackey syndicato ot the Illinois & St. louis railroad, extending from lJelleville to East St. Louis, with branches to the coal mines, and the Venice &, Carondelct leased line, became an established fact last evening. P. J. Mackey, president of ti e Evansville & Terre Haute, the Kvansville & Indianapolis, and the Peoria, Decatur fc Evansville, arrived iii tit. Louis yesterday with G. F. Evans, general manager of the Louisville, flvansville fc St. Louis, and dnring the ,nf mt thn linnnl nf rlirotVira nf ill ;nnl St. Louis and cnn.mimmnrAfl tb and lieiieviue win e umu at once, and -we may enter St. Louis over the new merchants' bridge." Freight Traffic Heavy for February. In no former year in the history of Indianapolis roads has business been as good in the month of February as this year, this -reek showing a slightly heavier movement than the week ending Feb. 1C, in which the movement of loaded cars was unusually large. It will bo noticed that 1,001 more loaded cars wtre handled at Indianapolis last week thac 11 the corresponding week of 1888, 1,76S more than in tho corresponding week of 16S7 and more than in tho corresponding week of 188C The freight carried is unusually rnigoellaneons in its character, consisting of wheat, corn, oats, rye, barlej, flaxseed, lumber, old iron, produce, provisions, furniture, ice and live stock. In the billing of the business of one train is hown every article named in the above list. East-bound there is more grain going to New England points, and a slight imIirovement in export business. Through ive 6tock shipments, as well, are heavier thaD usual in midwinter, doubtless owing to the mildness of the weather as compared with tonuer years, the last two or three days excepted. West-bound traffic is improving daily, and with some lines considerably in excess of the tonnace carried at the corresponding period in 1888. The west-bound shipments consists largely of drygoods and lurniture. Nortk-anu-sonth roads are' doing a good mid-winter business. Southe rn pine is coming northward, and Northern ice is poing South by the train loads, and the shipments of corn and provisions South are also large for this season of the year. Local business is excellent, both incoming and outgoing. The movement of coals, of course, is rather limited as compared with former year, yet other classes of traffic have so much improved that the shortage in that direction is not so seriously felt. The earnings from hauling coal are not so large as many imagine, because it is generally carrieu at a low rate, and the cars are loaded but one way. It is when cars are loaded both ways that low rates do not so seriously cut down earnings. One of the best features of the railroad business at tho the present time is the fact that taritF. rates are so well addered to. Kates have not been bo well maintained in the last ten years as at the present time. Agents, as well as theirsuperior officers, are disposed to work to show good earnings rather than largo tonnage. Below is given the number of cars received and forwarded at Indianapolis in the week ending Feb. 23. as compared with the corresponding weeks of 1888 and 1887: Loaded Loaded Loaded Name of Road. cars, 1889. cars, 1888. cars, 1887.

Belt road engines last week handled 656 car-loads of live stock, against 518 in tho corresponding week of 1SS8, an increase this year of 138 cars. There were transferred over the Belt road last week 13,025 cars, against 11,GS5 in the corresponding week of, 18S8, an increase this year of 1,340 cars. Freight traffic with the Peoria division of the Ohio, Indiana & Western road is beginning to reach old-time proportions. In the week ending Feb. 23 this road brought into Indianapolis 670 loaded cars. The Big Four handled last week, on the western division of the main line, 2,553 "loaded cars.' and of this number 1,767 were moving eastward. On the eastern division 2,C86 loaded cars were handled, 1,775 of which were moving eastward. The east-bound movement of loaded cars continues to exceed that of the west-bound movement, but not to the extent which it usually does in midwinter. Last week the Bee-line forwarded East from this point 1,004 loaded cars and brought in 864; tho C, St. L. & P. forwarded 820 loaded cars and brought in 710; the Vandalia brought in from the West 1,072 loaded cars, and forwarded from here 860. This is a comparatively favorable exhibit in the way of equality in tho movement of loaded cars. Personal, Local and State Notes. Complaints of discrimination against Memphis by the Missouri Pacific and the Fort Scott & Memphis roads have been liled with the interstate commission. President Corbin states that over ten thousand of the road's employes, or 74 per cent., have become members of the Relief Association, of tho Philadelphia & Heading road. The Pennsylvania Company to-day put aregular'Pullman sleeping car to run between Indianapolis and Washington, to he hauled on train Xo. 20, leaving nere at 3 P. M. It is thought that Aldace F. Walker will accept the chairmanship of the interstate association. He is taking soundinttsas to the permanency of the arrangement and the life of the association. Live stock rates east out of Kansas City have again become demoralized, all the Toads taking a hand in the ligbt. It is believed that this week tho war will extend to packing-house products. Heavy shipments of )iogs to this market now being mado from tho Northwest. ast week the Toledo, Peoria & Western turned over to its connections, for IndianPlis, neaTly two hundred car-loads of hogs. The sharp, cold weather of the last few gays has necessitated cutting off three to ove cars from each section of freight trains, which is the first time this winter such occasion has arisen, so mild has been the teniTmture. The pay-rolls show that the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, JSt. Louis & Chicago gives employment to thirty-nine freight-train crews on the main line, which is seven moro trews than were employed on tho road at any former period. According to a report of tho legislative committee of Massachusetts, all the grade crossings of railroads in that State must bo Joshed. There is in the State a total of - intersections of highways and railroads, a,2i0 of them beiug grade crossings. The two-thousand-milo ticket regulation Jt the Western Passenger Agents' Association goes into effect to-dav. The price hereJfter will be with a rebate of 10 when Urn coers are returned.

At Cleveland the scalpers have thrived more than at any place in the country. A PURE BALLOT. Speech of Ei-Gov. A. G. Porter at the Banquet of the Michigan Club. At the annual banquet of the Michigan Club, held in Detroit a few nights ago, exGov. A. G. Porter responded to tho following sentiment: 'The ballot: The centennial of Washington's inaugural as Presi dent should be commemorated by giving to every citizen actual political and civil liberty and full protection in its enjoyment and in the exercise of every franchise." Mr. Porter said: You have invited mo hero to-night to speak upon the subject of Washington and of a pure ballot. 1 had forgotten when I accepted the invitation to respond to this toast, and only thought of it a day or two ago, that substantially the same sentiment was the one to which a gentleman addressed you who will soon take upon himself the responsible duties as President of the United States. It would not be proper for me to anticipate what he will say in nis inaugural address upon the subject of the rights of those great masses of people who in tho Southern States have been deprived of the right of sullrage; but I can safely say this, that no man will be intrusted with ollice or will share his confidence whose mind is in doubt whether a plain provision of the Constitution of the United States, founded in justice and polic, shall bo respected. Wo have heard much of tho objection to negro suffrage, It is the same old objection that has been made for centuries to giving the ballot to those who have been deprived of it. The extension of tho elective franchise to the poor, whatever may bo their color or condition, has always been regarded with apprehension by the timid, the proud and. those whoso interests lie in maintaining class priveleges; but placing tbe ballot in their bauds has rarely been followed by any of the evils predicted. The strength of government and tho solidity of society have been confirmed instead of being weakened by this extension of justice. Mr. Gladstone, after having witnessed in his long public career repeated extensions of the suftrage, has said: The judgment of the mass of tho English voters on the leading political and social questions of the last fifty years has been far raorejnst than that of tho most highly educated classes. Ignorant virtue, though it were better to be enlightened, is safer than misdirected intelligence." A distinguished American writer has stated the American theory to be that it is cheaper in the long run to lift men up than to hold them down, and that the ballot in their hands is less dangerous to society than a sense oi wrong in their heads: that the right to vote makes a safety valve of every voter, and tbat the best vay to teach a man how to vote is to give him the chance to practice. I5ut it is in another aspect than that from which I have been considering it that I would also respond to the sentiment which you have assigued to me. If this Republic is to endure it must be on a belief, universally pervading the public mind, that our elections are to be conducted purely. And there must be an augmented sense . of the dignity of the ballot. The right of each elector to have his vote received and counted and that it shall not be neutralized except by the vote of another legal elector, legally cast, and the sense that a vote obtained by bribery gives tho briber two votes to an honest man's one and cannot be endured these viewsshouldberegarded as essential to American liberty. They should be inculcated by the press, by the pulpit, on the lecture platforms, by all the common schools and the higher schools of instruction. They should be dwelt upon on every occasion of patriotic assemblage; and, more than all. they should be sedulously taught at every hearthstone. The means of guarding against the posibility of an invasion of tneso high rights should be a part of the study of all ingenious minds. There cannot be a doubt that within the last few years the public sense of the importance of a pure ballot has seemed to sutler decay. Nor can there be a question that frauds upon the ballot have grown more frequent, more general, more ingenious, more audacious than they have ever been before. The great mass of people, concious of their own patriotic virtue, iiavo been slow to believe the stories of the absence of that virtue in others; and those who have been convinced have mostly been paralyzed by a consions lack of perception of a way by which the evil could be put an end to. It has been reserved for a new people, far remote, on the continent of Australia, to strike out a new path and to show a remedy much more eilieieut than had before been found. The American people accept it with hospitality as the groundwork of a gTeat reform. The centennial of the inauguration of Washington has happily dawned upon a people awakened after too long a slumber to a moro perfect sense of the evil whirh menaces the Kenublic. rlinr nrrcention of the remedy that - . . . . have ever election laws and a pure ballot, and tho Republican party, kindling anew it ancient and glorious fervors, should warmly identify Ktinif with the risimr movement lor the protection of the ballot against every device which fraud can invent, to prevent it from being the hound and authentic expression of tho will X tio people

About two hundred civil-service reformers from all parts of the country met here to-day to discuss the issues of the day. Among them were: Dorman B. Eaton, of New York: C. I. Bonaparte, of- Baltimore; Theodore Roosevelt, Lawrence (. Akin, W. Potts, Naval Officer Burt, of New York; Henry A. Richmond, of Buffalo; Herbert Welch, of Philadelphia; Hon. W. D. Foulke and L. IJ. Swift, of Indiana; L. M. Blackford, of Virginia; C. J. Kidder and Charles C. Allen, of Missouri; W.L. Putnam, of Maine. The morning session was secret. Jt was dovoted to a discussion and amendment of certain resolutions. There were some hot exchanges between Messrs. Roosevelt and Godkin, involving the name of United States Senator IngalLs. The trouble was about the advisability of mentioning the names of individuals of either political party. It was unally decided to speak only of parties, and not of men. At the afternoon session Mr. Foulke was elected chairman, and Stewart Wood, of Philadelphia, secretary. The lirst business was the presentation by Mr. Bonaparte of tho following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: ; Resolved, That we recognize In the Presidentelect's indorsement of his party's platform a pledge that during ids term of ottiee, the existing civil-service statutes and rules will be observed in letter aud spirit, their form so amended and their scope so enlarged as to promote and improve the administrative methods, nnd that no part of the progress already made in law or Its custom will be abaudoncd. That tho true meaning and purpose of the civil-service reform law forbid the removal of ollicers .in the classitied service under any pretext for political or partisan reasons, and to tolerate such remove Is iould be Inconsistent with the Republican platform and the letter of acceptance of General Harrison; that the Civil-service Commissioners and heads of all otlices concerned in the enforcement of the civil-service law should be in full sympathy with civil-service reform. That in the unclassified service public opinion demands that appointments and removals should be made solely with a view to tho welfare of the whole people, and not to promote the real or fancied interests of any partisan faction or per son. That nioted tho public ' interest would be probv the repeal of all laws require the appointment of nonwhich political federal ollicers for Axed terms, but so long as those laws remain in force the salutary principle is that such ollicers should be allowed to serve out their terms and then De reappointed, unless some definite and personal cause for their removal be shown. That every change of administration imposes upon the friends of good government the duty of proclaiming that one charged with a public trust has no greater right to use it for a personal or partisan advantage than a private trustee to make profit for himself or friends cut of the estate in his care, and it is as essentially wrong for a President to repay party service at public cost, as lt would be for Con press to reward such service with money out of the public treasury: that a man 'whose vote or lntluence is obtained by a promise of public office Is no less bribed than if paid in money. A law should be adopted requiring that whenever any olMcer in the classified service is removed, the person making such removal should record his reasons for so doing, and every officer removed is entitled to a written statement of tho grounds of removal. That the Senate should consider all nominations for office in open session. Vm. Potts, of New York, offered the following, whicb was adopted: Resolved, That reform would be greatly promoted If provision was made by law for the employment and payment, as examiners, of persons not otherwise in the public service, and by the reversal of the present rule of the Civil-service Commission prohibiting full publicity as to the results of all examinations. Dorman B. Eaton submitted the following, which was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That lt is no less an indefensible intrusion and violation of the spirit of the Constitution for officers of the legislative department to go to the White House and there attempt to control the President's discretion in the exercise of the rower of appointment, than it would be for the President and members of the Cabinet to go to the Senate and House of Representatives and there attempt to control the discretion of its members in the exercise of the power of legislation. Letters of regret were then read from George William Curtis, of New York; Richard Mclllwaine, of the New Hampden-Sid-ney College, Virginia; Thomas Wentworth Higginson, of Massachusetts; John II. Lonsdale, of Rhode Island, and others. "William Reynolds, of Baltimore, offered a f esolution, calling on civil-service reformers to talk of the cause in their political speeches, especially before elections. He thought it would be more manly to talk civil-service reform before election than to work it in through a side door after electiou. The resolution was tabled. A motion was made that a copy of all resolutions be sent to President Harrison. At the suggestion of Mr. Bonaparte, the motion was submitted to a committee of live, appointed by tho Ubair, with power. The Wesleyan College Rioters. New Haven. Conn., Feb. 23.-Advices from Middletown state that a committee of three, including the president and two members of tho faculty, have been appointed to investigate the explosion at Wesleyan University on Thursday. They visited this city, to-day. and saw llubbarti, the injured student, and got his statement. They are very reticent, but 6ay they mean to make the investigation complete and have the offenders severely punished. Hubbard is more comfortable to-day, and is now considered out of danger. His father and mother arrived this morning, and state that tiiey intend to do a little investigating on their own account. President Van Vleck. Professors Wilson, Crawford and Conn, tbo committee appointed b3' the Wcsleynu faculty to investigate the recent dynamite explosions, have' after a hard day's work, succeeded in getting at the bottom facts. The hearing whs secret, and each member of the freshman clus-i was called in and subjected to a bevcio

examination. It is learned that two of tho men confessed, implicating six or eighth others. The faculty refuses to give out any information. From other sources it is learned that the men who confessed are W. H. Hall and Robert E. Smith. The names of the others are H. 8. Rooksby, Nelson C. Hubbard, C. H. Pierce, W. M. Douglas, R. M. Grant, E. S. Lamblyn and H. P. Queal. lt seems that the party had planned to. usher in Washington's birthday bv firing a salute with a cannon and afterward to return to the college ground and throw the bombs into the entries of the various dormitories. One bomb was given to Rooksby to explode in observatory hall, another to Smith to explode in North College, while a third was sent to Hubbard (the man iniured). It seems that Hubbard, wishing to back out of the scheme, invited several npper classmen to spend the evening with him, and that after they left his room, a bomb was handed to him with instructions to explode it when he heard the reports of tho others. It is supposed th.it ho became excited, and in 6ome way ttm bomb exploded in his hand before he could throw it. President Van Vleck has conferred with State's-attorney Elmer with reference to a criminal prosecution of every one implicated in the affair. Should Hubbard's injuries prove fatal, it will undoubtedly be a very serious matter for the young rioters. It was also developed that the dynamite was obtained in New York city from the father of one of the young men implicated, lt was sent to Middletown by express, three of the bombs being used and threo others hid for future use. Reports from the hospital to-night 6how that Hubbard is comfortable, and the physician is confident of his recovery. Sir. Carew's Offense. London, Feb. 23. It is asserted in parliamentary circles that the principal offense for which Mr. James L. Carew, a Nationalist member for North Kildare, was arrested in Scotland tho other day, where he was making stump speeches for his friend, Sir John Kinloch, hustled off to Ireland and sentenced to four months' imprisonment, was the reading at various meetings of a speech made by President-elect Harrison at a home-rule meeting held at Indianapolis in April. 1837. After referring to the memorial to Mr. Gladstone which General Harrison signed recently, Mr. Carew said: 'Long before General Harrison was a candidate for the Presidency, he had given clear and unmistakeablo expression to his opinions regarding Ireland." Mr. Carew then read the following extract from tho Indianapolis speech: I am not here to discuss particular measures of relief for Ireland. I am not here to suggest that legislation should take this or that precise form, but all here will atleast agree that it should be progressive in the direction of a more liberal government for Ireland than she now has. We are not here to suggest to Great Britain that she shall concede Irish independence. The disintegration of nations is seldom accomplished by legislative enactment. When that comes It comes as the fruit aud result of successful revolution. We are here simply to say that, in our opinion, as American citizens, what Ireland need9 is not coercion, is not the constable, is not the soldier with musket and bayonet, but liberal laws tending to emancipate her people from the results of long centuries of misgovernment, aud that when this British Ministry starts in the direction of coercion and postpones suggestions for reform until a coercion bill has been enacted by Parliament, it is traveling in a wrong direction. It is not possible, in this age of the world, to govern a people as numerous aud inhabiting a country of such extent as Ireland, by coercion. The period In the world's history wheu men might be gov- ' erned by force their inclinations coerced, their aspirations tor participation in government suppressedhas passed away forever. More and more the American idea that government rests upon the consent of tbe governed is luaking its way in the world. Mr. Carew said that upon another occasion Ueneral Harrison said: It is gratifying to know that Irishmen can make a quiet but unyielding resistance to oppression by parliamentary methods. I would rather be William O'Urien in Tullamore Jail, a martyr to free speech, than the .Lord-lieutenant in Dublin Castle. These extracts, which were brought to Mr. Carew's notice a short time ago, have been printed in pamphlet form and distributed widely. They exerted no little influence upon the electors in Perthshire, where Mr. Carew was arrested, and will be made use of in future parliamentary conteats. Ready for Inauguration. Special to tho Iiuliauapolis Journal. Washington, Feb. 23. Accommodations have been prepared along Pennsylvania av'Cuue by the construction of temporary pi atf onus to seat 30,000 or 40,000 people to view the inauguration parade, while on the balconies, windows anu house-topsas many more can witness this great procession. Pcnsylvania avenue is the broadest thoroughfare possessed by any city in the United States. It has an average width of about 125 feet from curb to curb, w Mle tho sidewalks average twenty feet in bi .ladth. The number of people who can see the parade on foot in this space, about two miles long, aud from the many acres of grounds about tho White House and Capitol, cannot be estimated. It is safe to sav that half a million people will see President Harrison on the way Irom the Capitol to the White House on a week from next Monday. Nearly all of tho finishing touches have been given to the preparations, external and internal, for the inauguration. Tho great platform on the east front of the Capitol, from which the President will deliver his inauguration address, is completed, and tickets are being issued for those who will occupy it. The long sheds leading to the Pension liuilding, where the iuaugural ball will take place, and which are to protect the people going to anttfrom their carriages or emerging from the building until they are safely housed within the vehicles, have been completed. The decorators are at work in the great ball-room, and they will complete what they have to do before the eud of the next week. . , There is to bo very little ceremony or pomp connected with the receiving of the President-elect. Tho chairman of the inaugural committee will meet him, with

some members of the reception committee, at the Baltimore Sr. Potomac station, and escort him to his hotel. Tho flourishes will be added on the day of inauguration. The Cabinet Slate. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Feb. 23. New Yorkers in Washington are yet confident that their State will have a place in President Harrison's Cabinet. They contend that two positions, and. possibly three, will bo held open until President Harrison arrives here, and that a New York man will be put into one of them if an agreement can be made as to who shall be selected. The friends of Mr. Piatt contend that he will be chosen. They say that they have made overtures indirectly to Senator Evarts to take a mission auroad or a place in tho Cabinet, so as to create a vacancy in the Senate to bo rilled by Mr. Piatt, but that an arrangement of that kind cannot be perfected. They believo the naval, agriculture and judicial portfolios will be open for at least a week from to-day, and that ample opportunity will be given New York to select a man for the Cabinet. Pnblic opinion iu Washington regards the Cabinet as made up to be thus: Blaine. State Department; Windom, Treasury; Noble, Interior; Wanamaker, Postmaster-general; Kusk, War. They believe the other three Cabinet places the attorney-generalship, the navy and agriculture will be determined upon after President Harrison arrives here. There aro added to the names already given in these dispatches for these positions those of Messrs. Miller and Piatt, of New York, The friends of both tbese gentlemen believe that each will be provided for somewhere. It is understood hero that Mr. Piatt has stated that he does not want the collectorship of customs for the port of New York. tThe Calif ornians are yet unable to decide in their own minds whether their section will be recognized, bnt they cling with a great deal of hope to the theory that their services in the Chicago convention imposed a material obligation pon the new chief executive, ami state that either Swift or Estee will be recognized.
