IMYER PASSENGER BATES

Tickets with Xo Stop-Over Privileges Sold bj Big Four and Pennsylvania Big Redaction in Cost of Traveling Between Commercial Centers IIot Railways Are Benefited by rrexnotin? for Merit Only. The I3iz Four and the Pennsylvania lines are among the companies which, yesterday, put on said only limited tickets between the commercial centers which they strike. While this is done to protect the roads from the ticket-acalpers and prevent ticket agent, ticket collectors and conductors holding out tickets, it results in quite a reduction in passenger rates, which will be appreciated by the traveling public. For instance, the rate between Columbus. O., and St. Louis has been in the past $13.50; limited tickets between these points are now sold at $12. The rate from Richmond, Ind., to St. Louis has been for years 10.85; liiihted tickets cell at $3.75. Ample time is Siren the passeccer to make the trip between the points the limit covers, but not utlicient time to use tbe tickets illegitimately. The above are only examples of what redaction in rates results from selling only Jlmited tickets between tbe commercial centers of the country. So many roads hav already gone into the arrangement that it bids fair to become seneral in the next few months. W'Vl He Ambitious fur Promotion. In commenting oa the circular recently issued by Vice-president McCrea, of the Pennsylvania lines, requiring the tilling of all vacancies in the various departments by promotion from the ranks, the Ohio State Journal says: "This is where the company in benefited, as well as the employe, for it places a premium on faithtul and efficient service, and every man who is ambitious for promotion will never drag his work. The necessity for such a rnle in promotion in railway serrice is emphsized by the wholesale changes frequently made on ditferent line. Tne first idea of a new superintendent or general manager is to tarn out the old men and put in new blood. Thia ij. in nine case out of tn. only a pretext to give friends outside a berth. It has not been no very long since the service on one of tbe divisions of the Columbus, Hocking Valley A. Toledo road was demoralized in this way, and tbe roal severely crippled. Changes are sometimes healthy, but it does not follow that they are rlwsys for the bust. While the new order of things on the lY'nnaylvania lines Day not alwavi work to the best advantage, on the whole it is a good thing, and the example might be followed with good results 03 other systems." A Western Man 31aklog a Good Record. The Boston Advertiser speaks in the following complimentary terms of Wm. D. Kwing. formerly with the Mackey Hues, now with the Fitchburg road: "The December business of the Fitchburg has been the largest in the history of tbe road and the earnings for the month, both gross and net, will surpass any previous month's record. Mr. Kwinz. the new assistant general superintendent, has put in force economies which clearly show enormous results in tbe net. And yet there is said to be room for still further retrenchments which will add greatly to the net results of the coming year. From all that I can learn it is tbe policy of Messrs. Marcy and Kwing, while not neglecting the local business of the road, to so handle the through business as to make it not a source of loss, but of continned and increasing net revenue to the toad. President Marcy is generally regarded as one of the ablest railroad manfgers in the county, v- hile Mr. Kwing o brained his traininircn the Kvansvllle 6c Terr Haute (of whhh he was for a long time superintendent), one of the closest and most economically managed corporations la the West." 1 h Itallroawl lSlik-jt. The general passenga agents of all the important roads keep what they call a black-list, which contains the names of all newspapermen that misuse transportation furnished them. Indianapolis now has but . one black-listed man. The papers appearing on the black-list are classified according to the degree of the offense against the railroads. Some are classed as "bad." others "very bad," and others 'dealing with scalpers. ".and still others who will sell anything they can net in tbe way of transportation lrom a railroad. The papers Darned on the black-list cannot secare any lasses, transportation tickets or mileage books from t.e railroad companies. "The year closes,77 says a general passenger agent. with in the nitfborhood of 1.1X0 paper black-listed. With each year the railroad companies have' bocn giving this natter mors attention, and we think wo have about weeded out the persons who abnse favors in the way of transportation." Personal, Local and General Notes. A rate meeting of the passenger departl ment of the Central Traflio Association wil be held in Chicago on Tuesday. Dr. V. D. Middleton has been appointed chief surgeon of the Chicago & Hock Island road, with headquarters at Davenport, la. The common stock of tbe Chicago & Eastern Illinois' has aaain gone above par, some of it selling at $10J per share on Thursday. Some of the holders of this tock are asking SI 10. - It is stated that the Erie line delivered at its sea-board terminal, in the month of December 2,000.000 more bushels of grain and tiour equivalent than in the corresponding month of lbUO. A. C. Flenders is credited with being the oldest, in service, railroad man west of Chicago. He has been the freight agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee Ac St. Paul road at Portage, Wis., for forty-one years. K. II. Wade, formerly with the Wabash, now general manager of the California system of the Atchison. Topeka& Santa Fe lines, spent the holidays witv frieuds on the Wabash. He will return in a few days. The first circular of Division Superintendent T. J. Higgins, of the Big Four, is dated Jan. 1. and formally announced the appointments of K. C Kennedy as trainmaster and F. Li. Gee as chief train-dispatcher. - Tbe rumor is revived that Austin C orbin is to be elected president of of the New York & New England road. He desires to benefit the Long Island road through a connection with the New York &. New England, says one of his friends. The Ohio Falls car-works, at JeffersonTille, on Thursday, shipped four vestibule postal cars to the Cincinnati. New Orleans fc Texas Pacific road. They aro said to be the most commodious and convenient postal cars which have yet been pat in service. Forty section foremen on the Wabash road drew prizes the last year, twenty of the prizes being and twenty fix. The points governing the award included hue and surface, points, drainage, repairs to fences, condition of sidings and expense of labor. L. A. Emerson, traflio manager of the 17 o tne. Watertown & Ogdensbnrx road, is about to sever his connection with that company to accept a better position on the Vermont Central. Chauncey M. Depew and H. Walter Webb were this reek elected directors of the former road. Frank Caldwell, traveling passenger agent of tho Pennsylvania lines, whoa few months ago was injnrod in the wreck on tbe Erie; was out again for the first time since the accident on Thursday, it will be some time yet before he will be able to resume the duties of his position. Iu an interview, M. K. Ingalls. president of a half dozen roads, said that the new year, viewed from a railroad stand-point. would oten with the best business outlook in his experience. As it is nineteen years since he betcau his successful railroad career, his views have some weight. The New York Central Al. Hudson Hirer road proposes to inaugurate through sleeo-ing-car service to California once a week, beginning Jan. 5. until April 19, inclusive, the car to leave New York on the North Shore limited at 4:50 r. m. every Tuesday, and be routed via the Michigan Central to Chicago, thence on selected dates by each cl the various roads west of Chicago. Tho

cars used in this service will be of the most luxurious type. The regular single and round-trip tickets will be -valid for passage in this car, and the benefit of the through service is afforded at no extra cost. General Manager Hals ted, of tbe Delaware, Lackawanna& Western lines, is lying seriously ill at his home in Scranton, Pa. Mr. Halsted has been on that road since 1852. commencing as a brakeman. In railroad circles he is considered one of the brightest and most competent otiiclals on the trunk lines. It is stated that the Union Pacific will relinquish the management of the St. Joseph & Grand Island railroad in the coming month and that W. P. Kobinson has been notified that he will be appointed general manager. Mr. Kobinson was general manager of the road at the time it fell into the hands of the Union Pacific. Mr. Kobinson is in New York consulting with President Benedict. Gabriel Morton, vice-president of the Mexican National railway, on Wednesday last gave a banquet in New York to some forty railroad officials and capitalists. On Monday next he leaves for the City of Mexico and carries with him the promises of much money to place in commercial enterprises which will benefit the road. This road is proving a valuable one to work with for a number of Northern railways, tbe Illinois Central and the Vandalia being of the number. A French engineer has invented a system of automatically stopping a train when approaching another train on the same track. It consists of a valve placed under the locomotive in connection with the brake-pipe, so arranged that a metallic arm will apply the brakes to the train when meeting any obstruction. Between tbe rails are placed levers, abont a mile apart, operated either by electricity or mechanical connection. A train in motion raises these levers both in frcut and behind it. so that a train approaching in either direction has the brakes applied by means of the lever striking the metallic arm on the locomotive, and the train is bronsht to a stand-still without any action on the part of the engineer. The arrange ment can also be arranged to act when signals are set for danger, the lever being depressed when the signal is set for safety. AliSENT-MINDED JUDGE G RES II A 31.

Tbe Ssm Deggar Secured sv Gift from 111m Twice on the Same Day. . Chicago MalL Judge Gresham is a very absent-minded man at times, aud yesterday he left a very important decision in an Jndiana-avenue street car. and for a time he gave up the document as lost. Two United Slates marshals went through every Indianaavenue car of the City Kailway Company, and finally found the Judge's precious de-. cision. Judge Gresbtm's forgetfulness frequently involves bin. in trouble. Not many weeks ago, however, he was the victim of a clever sharper who was evidently ac?uainted with his honor's proneness to orget events. While engaged in writing a very important decision he waicalled upon in his court chamber by a grizzled old gentlemau who represented himself to be a veteran of the late war, a major in a Tennessee regiment, and he requested the loan of $10 to purchase a return-ticket home. The Judge is such a kind-hearted man that he unloosed his purse-string and gave the man the required amount Two hours later another gentleman called and repeated the major-in-need-of-fuuds story. "Well," said the Judge, "it wasn't but a short time ago I gave $10 to a man who told tbe same story you tell me. But if you are in distress, why. here is 10." The veteran left. The next morning Judge Gresham called one of his bailiffs into bis chambers and requested the latter to kick him. "The two majors." he said. were one and the same man. Kick me hard." Flat Money. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Under our national Constitution, as I read it, we can have no other but "flat money." "Congress shall have power to coin money and regulate the value thereof." This is the exclusive grant of powerto make tbe money of this country, llow does Congress carry out this grant of exclusive power! By acts of Congress which become a part of the national laws as soon as they have been properly signed by the President. Money is made, then, by lawjust as Aristotle said it could . alone be made. A law may be called tbe"fiat" of tbe law-making power; but this is a clumsy phrase. Paper money and metallic- money alike are money by the supreme power of the laws of our Nation. Treasury notes are fiat money in tbe same sense'tbat gold and silver of the United States mint are fiat money, and in no other sense, A greenback is no more tiat money than an iron clad ship built in pursuance of an act of Congress is a hat ship. I deny that greenbacks "depreciated" in 1804. Gold went up in 161. Labor also went up to (3.50 a day in the harvest-fields of Indiana. Wheat went up to $3 a bushel, bogs went np to $10 a hundred, and so on through the whole list. On the l'Jth day of September. lS'JO, gold again went np to S1.S5 in New York. According to tbe Journal's theory, United States treasury notes, national bank notes, silver certificates and silver depreciated in September, levo, to 54 per cent, when the Barings were cornered in the gold market. Ought not this recent instance of wide fluctuation of gold in our market be sufficient to convince any student of themonej question that sold is now simply used as material for great gambling venturesin New York. London, Paris and Berlin! The greenback was not made payable in gold. It was made payable iu "coin," through the Jew gold-bug scheming in New York. Afterwards, the various Secretaries of the Treasury considered that the presenter of greenbacks at the United States Treasury could have sold coin if he wanted it. Of course, he always wanted it, since it has been never less than 10 cents above other coin and paper, and apart of tbe time (as in September. 1S00) 65 per cent, above other coin and all paper. I have before me the report of the Tax Commissioners appointed by tbe last hightax and high-salary-for-county-ofucers Democratic Legislature. A moderately careful analysis of the figures on pages f 5. 6 and 67 will show that an average of laud values by counties gives $25 as the average cash value of the farm lands of Indiana per acre. There are, roughly estimated, nineteen millions of acres of these lands in Indiana, besides the town and city property three hundred and eighty millions of dollars of cash values in lands. Now wouldn't this make a perfectly safe basis for a government loan of one hundred and fifty millions of dollars of full legal teuder treasury notes for twenty years, at 1 per cent.? And if so, wouldn't it be a good thing for the people of Indiana to see how much easier it would be to pay 1 per cent, than to pay from b to 'JO.'as they are doiug now? II. W. Taylor. AM'iR)X, Ind., Deo. 31. Painters Union No. 1. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Painters' Union Xo. I held its regular meeting on Monday last, at its hall. No. ICS's Fast Washington street, and elected the following officers for the ensuing term: President, Clem Beck; vice-president, Sam Rooker: secretary, W. N. Reynolds; treasurer. V. C. Long; conductor. M. C. Knox; warden, C. V. Gwynn; directors. Albert Oehler. M. C. Knox. S. J. Hooker, Irb Wellington, Murray P. Harris. , The union is in a prosperous condition, and is having a good, steady growth, initiating one or two members every meeting night; there are now over forty menibcii on tbe roll. As there seems to be a misunderstanding among the trades-unions and the public in f;eneralln regard to union No. 1 we would ike to put ourselves in the proper light. We have our "articles of incorporation" tiled with the State and recorded in the county, and are authorized by the State to do business a a painters' union. Therefore, we claim to be a legal body, and, as such, we demand recognition. We have even been called "scabs'' by our enemies, the vilest name applicable to a human being, and yet we have held our peace. We are union men in every sense the word implies, and we must be recognized as such, for we are here to stay, and we did not "die a-bornin'," as one of tbe labor papers sarcastically stated a paper that should be tbe friend of all unions. Justice is all wo ask. W. (?. Long. M. C. Knox.

THE KNIGHTS OF THE GBIP

Commercial Travelers' Association Will Hold Its Annual Convention. Lively Fight Will Occur Over the Electioa of Officers Seventeenth Annual Ball Festivities at the Prop r lie om. At 11 o'clock this forenoon the Commercial Travelers' - Association of Indiana will meet in Y. M. C A. Hall. The membership numbers about one thousand, and it is expected that between four and five hundred will be present. Indianapolis has, of course, the largest membership in the association, but Kvansville, Lafayette, Terre Haute, Richmond, Frankfort, Andersen, Muncie, Marion, Crawfordsville, Brazil, Vincennes, Fort Wayne, New Albany, Logansport and Madison will each be largely and ably represented. These conventions are always gatherings for business, but as officers are elected each year they take on a political aspect, and combinations and wire-working go on at an amazing rate. This convention will be, if anything, livelier than any held for several years. The president is James M. Norns. of this city, who will retire, as he is now finishing his second term. The candidates for this position are Charles F. Lefler, of the firm of Hendrickson, Lefler & Co., wholesale hats and caps, and George W. Geiger. with the wholsale dry-ROods-house of D. P. Erwin & Co. Mr. Geiger is one of the oldest members of the association, and was one of its first presidents when the membership was small and but 500 was paid at the death of a member, the insurance feature being prominent in the organization. Two thousand dollars are now paid, at the death of a member, to his heirs. For this purpose each member, upou the death of a member, is assessed $3, which brings into the treasury tbesumtf f 3,000. Two assessments briu in JO, COO, enough to pay for three deaths, and when the third death occurs no assessment is made, the remaining $2,000 being paid from the treasury. There is now a surplus of 25.000, which the secretarytreasurer is permitted to handle, paying himself out of the interest derived lrom loaning it. A proposition will come before tbe convention to place this (25.000 in the hands of trustees, who shall loan it and pay the secretary out of the proceeds. The new plan will bring np a lively tight. The trustees, under tne new arrangement, will each have to give bond in the amount of $5,000. For secretary-treasurer there are two candidates, David W. Coffin, who has held tbe place twelve years, having given notice that he will retire. Those who otter to succeed him are D. C. Griffith, secretary of the Merchants' Roll-paper Company, and William F. Henley, of the firm of Henley, Smith &. Co.. wholesale hate and caps. J. 1. Stubbs, with McKee & Co., boots and shoes, is a candidate for vice-president, while for directors several names have been mentioned, among whom are Edward Burns, of tho Burris-Hirsch Company (books); Elmer C. Sewall, with McKee fc Branham, boots and shoes; W. F. Wilson, with Severin, Ostermeyer & Co., groceries: Gould Rhodes, with Hendricks fc Cooper, boots and shoes, and others. If It is decided that the directors are to handle tho funds this list of names will probably be increased. Commercial Travelers' Dance. The Propylaeum building entertained a bright and happy company last evening, the Commercial Travelers' Association of Indiana having selected that place for their seventeenth annual ball. No better selection could possibly have been made and the members of the committee on arrangements wero praised on all hands. The main audience-room of the Propyeelum was tbe dancing balL It was of admirable size for the dancers, elegantly lighted aud embellished with plants. The music was furnished by Prof. Ostendorf s orchestra. There were over two hundred couple present aud the occasion was, in every way, thoroughly enjoyable. The numerous rooms of the building were made use of. and those who did not dance were taken into account. Card-tables were set and pleasant little conversational groups formed ana dissolved to be replaced by others an that everybody became acquainted with everybody else. The reception committee consisted of George A. Weadon, W. H. Henley, George Elbrig. T. P. Spain. S. H.- Marks. J, W. Muir. Charles Wells and II. Hay tuond. The reception and floor committees were much larger, the first-named committee, with Maj. James IL Ross as chairman, consisting of twenty members, and the floor committee, with Edward Finney as chairman, of twenty-five members. An elegant banquet was served, to which everyone did ample justice. The bad weather prevailing during the evening did not greatly interfere with the attendance, and everyone voted the ball the most successful and delightful that the association had ever held. These social aflairs are always held at the close of the old yearor at the beginning of the new, and always at the end of the week, for the reason that most of the travelers are then at home. A majority of the men have single-week trips and get home on Friday night. The long-distance men always manage to get in at the end of the year. Besides, it is between seasons, and there is not much doing. So the traveling men went to the ball and banquet last night, and took their wives with them. The entertainment was given at the cost of the Indianapolis membership, and those from other points in the State were honored guests. T1IE PARDONING POWER. Governor HID, of New York, Believes It Should Remain in the Hands of One Man. North American Review. In whom the power of pardon should be Tested is a question upon which there is much difference of opinion. Tbe framers of the federal Constitution and of most of our state constitutions came to the conclusion, after much discussion and deliberation, that the prerogative properly belonged to tbe chief executive. There has has been a tendency of late years towards the establishment of a council or board in which should be reposed at least some advisory functions pertaining to pardons: It has been strongly urged that the power is a judicial function, and that its lodgement in tho executive or in the Legislature is an anomaly in our institutions. It has also been argued that the power is too important a one to be reposed in a single official, especially a chief executive who is nsually overburdened with administrative duties, and who must find it impossible to dovote the necessary time for the proper consideration of the numerous canes which are constantlv before him. On the other hand, it is said that there ought not to bea division of responsibility in such matters. It is suggested that, while tho responsibility is fearful to contemplate, its very magnitude induces scrupulousness and caution. It is contended that a tribunal of four men can better evade, shift and shirk responsibility than can one otncial, and that the latter is less likely to be moved by extraneous influences than is a council or board. Hamilton, who was well versed in tbe science of government, reached the conclusion that "one man appears to be a more eligible dispenser of the mercy of the government than a body of men' The force of that conclusion is much augmented if it be conceded that the one man is conscientious, independent and resolute. It must be admitted that there have been gome scandals connected with the discharge of this power by councils or boards in certain States, while there has been no serious allegation that tbe power has ever been abused by an executive. Whether favoritism, prejudice and sympathy in the execution of this huh function can better be avoided by a body of officials than by a single official is a question not free from difficulty, and there are plausible, if not reasonably satisfactory, argu monts en both sides. It is probably true that the trend of public opinion is acainst the "one-man power." The majority of magazine contributors and man modern law-writers join iu the opposition. It is very likely the popular sidn. But after an experience of seven years la the administration of this crenttnut. 1 feelconstrained to ey that it is my deliberate conviction

that our father, were wise when they provided that the pardoning power should be lodged in the chief executive alone, and, in my opinion, it ought not to be transferred. THE BAD BOY'S XMAS.

An Unhappy Drum That Oars Ulm a Most Terrible Fright. Sate Masterson. in New Ytrk Press. 'Twas the evening of. Xmas, the lights were pot out, and stilled was the tumult, the laughter and rout, when a boy with a handkerchief tied round his head crept slowly and tearfully into his bed. He had risen that morning in frolicsome glee and had smiled with delight all his presents to see; be had slid down the bannisters time and again; be had melted his army of bright gleaming men, he had tortured the house with his trumpet of tin, by raising a riotous rumpus and din. In fact, he had done all that boyhood can do. and the air round his pa was a beautiful blue. When dinner time came it was growing quite late, and 'twas painful to see how that little boy ate. He went to the table at half-past one, and 'twas quarter to five when his dinner was done. Then pocketing apples, nuts, raisins nndpears.be silently stole all unnoticed upstairs; and that was the reason he crept into bed with a tear in his eye and a painin his head, and falling asleso 'neath the moon's gentle beam, be dreamt this peculiarly blood-curdling dream. He dreamt that he stood on an island! of cake that threatened each moment beneath him to break and precipitate him in an ocean. 'twould seem, of lemonade, cranberry sauce and ice-cream, while fish swam around him all colors and size, and with such devourins and wide-staring eyes that he sank quite dismayed on the slippery frost ef the cake, for he felt that he surely was lost, and over the river he thought he heard dim, stranre voices discordantly calling to him, and the cake was expanding each moment it crew it was nearing the shore, though ho looked not, he knew. But when he did look he beheld such a sight that it made his hair curl in a terrible fright. An army of turkeys, with spoons, forks and knives, and with them -their, sisters, aunts, cousins and wives, tbey marched to the strains of a gay turkey band, and they played "Annie Laurie while getting to land. Then tbey closed round that boy and they bore him along with wild, turkey warwhoops aud triumphant, song, till at last some one spoke no it seemed in the dream they had voted to drown him in lemon ice-cream: so they carried him oil' with a hideous roar, where the cranberry waves washed the ra:sin-cake shore, and as he went under he heard one "hurrah!" as he tried to articulate "my love to ma." Then the ocean closed over him, and, with a bound, he sunk lower lower and dreamt he was drowned. CTTie Injured 1'iluce Christian. New York Recorder. Queen Victoria's son-in-law. Prince Christian, of Schleswie-Holstein, whose eye has just been accidentally shot out by the Duke of vonnaught, during a pheasant battue at Osborno, will be sincerely pitied even by those who at first expressed the ereatest contempt for him. For his wife, tbe popular Princess Helena, third daughter of the Quen, is almost totally blind herself, her sight being threatened with total extinction at a very early date. She is some twenty years his junior, and thsir marriage has turned out on the whole more happily than was predicted. But it was not a love match, the Prince having first of all proposed marriage to the (ueen herself. Tbe latter, in declining, informed him that she had madeup her mind never to wed again, and. while she could not accept him as a husband, would be penectly willing to have him as a son-in-law. He had won her regard by being the only person present at the inauguration of the monument to the Prince Consort at Gotha who had been shrewd enough to shed tears. This blinded tbe Queen to the fact that at the time he married , her daughter he had a morganatic wife and a large family of children living iu Germany.
