1HE BOYCOTT KOT YET DEAD

Eoardof RaliDccaWill TrjtoKeepUpthe "War on the Chicago & Alton Road. 7e3Urn Railway Hen Do Not Beliaie It Can Be Done, Since Xe&rlj All Lines Hats Eesumed Fjiz Commissions. Considerable surprise is felt in Western passenger circles at tbe action of tbe paseager committee in aew lone, wmieit vraa expected tbat new plans for stopping tbe payment of commissions in Eastern territory "would be discussed, tnere was a prevailing impression tbat tbe boycott azainst tbe Chicago & Alton would bo formally abandoned. It seems, bowever, tbat tbe old agreement was allowed to stand without chance. Instead of relieving tbe board of rulings of its duties respecting tbe interchange of passenger business tbe meeting authorized that body to employ such service as it deemed desirable to enforce the agreement of last January. A part of tbat compact pledges tbe signers to have no relations with tbe Chicago & Alton so far as passenger traffic is concerned, and if the board acts upon tbe instructions of the committee it will make another mighty effort to enforce the boycott. Western railroad men. as a rule, do not believe that this can be done. Several important roada have withdrawn from tbe attempt which is practically a dead letter to-day. and nearly all the Western roads are again paying commissions in Eastern territory. A general manager said, yesterday, tbat another attempt to establish a boycott against tbe Chicago Alton would be even less successful than that of last year, because the lines that lost business by it art not anxious io repeat tbe experience. Much interest is felt in the meeting of presidents to be held next week, as it will probably be settled then whether the trunk lines tbat have vacated the agreement-can be induced to renew tbe light on tbe Alton. Heavier Locomotive. Tj anally the shops of tbe Pennsylvania lines at Altoona prepare the plans and specifications for locomotives which are to be built for the lines east or west of Pittsburg. Occasionally designs of an engine are prepared at some one of the Western shops, and such is just now tbe case. At the shops of tbe Pennsylvania Company in Fort Wayne a type of engine to be known as class "X" has been designed, one for passenger, tbe other for freight service, and in both cases they are ten-wheel engines and heavier than any now in use on the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg. They have 19x24-inch cylinders and boiler sixty-two inches in diameter. The passenger engines have sixty-eigbt-incb and the freight engines sixty-two-inch driving wheels. They will be equipped with air brakes and all modern improvements of Talue. - vv, ----------- Is a Freight Association a Trait? ' Action has been brought nnder the direo-. tion of tbe Attorney-general, by District Attorney Joseph A. Ady, of Kansas, in tbe federal court at Topeka against the Transmissouri Freight Association and tbe fifteen railroads composing that combine. The action is brought under the act of July 2, 1390, To protect trade and commerce against unlawful restraints and monopolies," rommonly known as the antitrust law. The prayer of the petition is tbat the Transmisnouri Freight Association be dissolved and the defendants be perpetually restrained, enjoined ana prohibited from further combining, conspiring or acting together to maintain rates on their lines of roads in restraint of trade and commerce or to monopolize the trade and commerce between tbe States and Territories. - Freight Rates Reduced. Nearly a year ago tbo Chicago & Alton road gave notice that it would accept proportionate rates on import freight arriving at Baltimore and Newport News, from East St. Louis to Kansas City, the object being to meet competition by way of New Or leans. Tbe notice was not put into e fleet at that time, as there was a prospect of a satisfactory adjustment of the matter. Heveral conferences were held to that end, but the Eastern roads decided that they could not make ditlerent rates on imported and domestic article. The Alton has now sotined Chairman Midgeley, of the Western Freight Association, that it will immediately put into effect the proportionate rates. The redactions will apply only on import freight in car-load shipments. Moat Famish Weekly Statements. As a matter of courtesy it has long been enstomaryfor Central Trafflo Association lines to furnish each other with weekly statements of flour, grain and provisions shipped to trunk-line territory, but of lata the Erie, Big Four and Wabash have not been keeping up tbe record. As a consequence complaint was made to the chairman of tbe Chicago committee. At Wednesday's meeting the matter was given an airing. Am a result Chairman bnaw was instructed to secure the co-operation of Chairman Blancbard and bring the three roads into line. They receive statements from their competitors right along, and must respond or show some very good reasons for not doing so. Drawing; from the Pennsylvania. Within the last eighteen months tbe Rig Four has drawn quite heavily, to make up its oflicial roster, on men who begun their career on the Pennsylvania lines. Among tbe number are Joseph Kamsey, jr., general manager; (J. W. Kittredge. chief engineer; three engineers of maintenance of way, namely: Waite, of tbe St. Louis didivision; Duane, of the Cleveland division, and Mr. Connelly, of the P. & E. division; G. J. Worthington, mechanical engineer, and E. II. Lord, superintendent of motive power, who comes from the Fort Wayne shops. All are young men, active and well posted in matters pertaining to their respective departments. Personal, Local and General Note. Frank Janes, division freiccht agent the Pennsylvania lines, is seriously ill at his home in Toledo. At tbe several shops of tbe Pennsylvania lines thirty-eight engines are now in process of construction. Despite tbe boycott tbe Chicago & Alton closed the jear 1S01 with an increase in parienger earnings over lS'JO of 5l-f7,-C0. Twenty-three miles of new steel rail will be laid this season on the Lake Erie tic Western, between Peru and Michigan City. President Hugbart. of the Grand Kapids & Indiana road, accompanied by bis wife, has gone to Florida for & tbree months' stay. C. F. Martin, contracting agent of tbe Louisville, St. Louis & Texas road, with headquarters at Louisville, Ky., has resigned. Tbe Old Colony road has in its posse ssion tbe first passenger coach and baggage car run on tbe road, which it will exhibit at the world's fair as a curosity. Edward liailey, a cent of tbe Lake Erie & Western and tbe Michigan Central at Michigan City, has resigned. His successor had not yet been appointed. Tbe Erie people expect to get their new block system In operation by the middle of February, between Jersey City and Salamanca, llornellsville and Buffalo. J. D. Layng. president of tbe West Shore road, has contracted for twenty-tire new engines, being tbe first ordered since tbo road was sold to the New York Central. Joseph Wood, general manager of tbe Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, and John F. Miller, general superintendent of the Southwestern system, will be in the city to day. General Passenger Ak'ent Roberts, of the Erie line, announces that he does not intend making any change in the personnel of tbe Erie passenger department, all being nrst-class men. Tbe Wabash on Sanday last pat on between St. Lonis & Kansas City compartment cars, said to be the liuest ever tamed oat of the Pullman shop. The use of compartment cars is increasing, and in some ssipecta thsy are preferable to the regu

larly constructed Pullman sleeping-car. The Wagner Car Compauy has not yet introduced them on their lines to any great extent. S. Koss, of Columbus, O., freight claim agent of tbe Pennsylvania Company, was in the city yesterday on official business. On Dec. 31 be closed his thirty-third year of service in this position. On most of the roads division superintendents yesterday instructed roadmasters to put on night track-walkers to detect broken rails, should there chance to be any daring the cold weather. The Locomotive Firemen's Magazine begins the new year with a handsome dress, being set in new type from cover to cover, and tbe reading matter it contains is of more tfcan ordinary interest.' The Haskell t Barker Car Company, of Michigan City, on Wednesday turned over to the Louisville, New Albany it Chicago twenty-five new box oars, the first on a contract to build five hundred cars. The Chicago & Alton has adopted tbe plan of tbe Pennsylvania lines requiring passenger conductors to turn over at terminal points all tickets and cash fares received on a trip to a ticket receiver. The three roads which carry the business between Cincinnati and Columbus are arra nging to carry three thousand people from Cincinnati on the occasion of the inangnra tion of tbe Governor next week. The Railroader is the name of a neat little monthly published in the interests of the Pennsylvania Company's Employes' Railroad Christian Association. It is edited by J. W. Vickerman, who is much interested in this work. The passenger department of the Cincinnati. Wabash & Michigan road announces by circular that mileage books issued by the C, W. &. M. road will be honored on any division of the Big Four system. This looks like a case where tbe ta il wags the dog. The annual report of General Bagzage Agent Jenkins, at the Union Station. Pittsburg, shows that in 1831 there were handled at tbat station 815,034 pieces of baggage, a number only exceeded at one nnion station in this country Broad-street station, Philadelphia.

Iluntington, Ind., is becoming an important railroad point, altrge number of railroad men making it their home. A lodge of the Brotherhood of Trainmen has just been organized there, and is sending out Invitations to their first grand ball on Friday evening. Feb. 19. E. F. Knibloe, superintendent of tbe Tioga division of the Erie lines, has resigned to become general superintendent of the BufFalo-Creek road. He is succeeded on the Erie by IL E. Gilpin, promoted from roadmaster. Mr. Gilpin formerly held a position on tbe Chicago & Atlantic. W. 11. MoCombie, in charge of the foundries of the Illinois Central shops, .has invented a spark-consuming contrivance which expert mechanics think will be a success. The smoke and sparks are forced through a long passageway of hot lire brick before they enter the stack of the locomotive. John MeClarg. master mechanic of tbe Peoria & Eastern road, was in the city yesterday for a conference with the new muperintendent of motive power of the Big Four lines. He states that at the shops in Urbana the company is working 260 men full time, largely on repair work, having no time for building new work. The telegraph operators and train-dispatchers on the Atchison, Topeka &. Santa Fe railroad have asked for an increase in wages. They have presented a. schedule, which is now in the hands of President Manvel. The men are all members of the Order of Railroad Telegraphers, and are thorougbly organized. They claim to have the backing of the trainmen. The strike in the Clay county coal mines was quite a blow at the earnings of the T. H. &, L. division of toe Vandalia, as forty to fifty car-loads qf coal a day were shipped north on this line. This class of traflio is now moving briskly again, and tbe losses of November and December will, in some measure, be overcome, yet it will not show in the earnings of this division in 1801. Tbe C, C C. & St. L. on yesterday made public its net earnings for November, which were $3T9,e55, an increase over November 1890. of S0.CT5. For the five months of the fiscal year beginning with July 1 the net earnings were $1,868,431; increase over the corresponding period ot 1890, $103,GGO. The surplus, after paying operating expenses and fixed charges, was 798,803, an increase over 1S90 of 8109.075. Chairman Blanchard has issued bis call for tbe next regular freight meeting of tbo Central Trailie Association, to be held at Chicago next Tuesday. Among the important matters to be considered are: Throngh rates on lumber from Pacific-coast points; request of the Grand Kapids Board of Trade for equalization of rates from Grand Rapids to Missouri-river points and tbe practice of stopping grain in transit. A fast run was made over the east end of tbe Peoria & Eastern road by train No. 7 on Wednesday night. The train, which consisted of nine cars, was hauled by one of the ten-wheel passenger engines) and left Springfield, O.. one hour and tiftyeigbt minutes late and ran into the Union Station at Indianapolis but fifty-three minutes late. The train was hauled from New Cattle to the Belt road, forty-two miles, in forty minutes. From New Castle to Indianapolis the tract: is on an air line and in excellent condition for any speed an engine can run. George II. Prescott, superintendent of tbe rolling stock of tbe Vandalia. line, was in the city yesterday. The first of this month he commenced his eleventh year in this position. He states that during the ten years he has held his present position the number of men employed in the shops of the company has not varied rive. From November to March 1 the shops are run only nine hours, the other months of the year ten hours. When tbe repairs do not keep the force at the ditlerent shops busy be builds new work and manages to build a couple of switching engines, three or four passenger coaches and about fifty new frieght cars a year in addition to the repair work. General Manager Clarke, of the Union Pacific, and General Manager Robinson, of the St. Joseph &. Grand Island road, are in Omaha arranging the details of the management of the latter road, which is in the future to be operated independent of the Union Pacific St. Joseph will be the headquarters of the roaa. It is understood that S. M. Adsit, now general agent of the Union Pacific at St. Joseph, will be general passenger and freight agent. J. G. Drew, chief clerk to Superintendent Rush, of the Grand Island, is slated for the auditorship. He is in Omaha with Mr. Robinson. Richard Berry, now at St Lonis, is mentioned for Mr. Robinson's chief clerk. Flat Money. To the Editor of the I ndiauapolla Journal: Your definition of "fiat" money tbat it would be pieces of paper upon which would be printed the words "this is five dollars" carries out your proposition tbat such money would be worthless provided there were no other rords printed upon such paper. But if by the same act which created this paper, Congress should also order to be printed on the same paper, "this shall be full legal tender at its face value for all dues, publio and private" would it not perform the functions of money wherever tbe laws of tbe United States extendi And if so would this legaltender clause take the paper out of the class of fiat money? The status of our present silver dollar fully illustrates this "fiat" money matter. I believe the Republican and Democratic press are now in line on the proposition that the silver dollar is only an "80-cent dollar." Twenty cents of this dollar then, is "fiat." But the fiat part of the silver dollar pays its one-fifth, as well as the "intrinsic value" silver pays its four-fifths. Not only so, but tbe Republican Secretary of the Treasury says so. in effect, in his last report in reference to the light-weight silver dimes and quarters that have been sent back to tbe treasury on account of light weight from wear and tear. He ssys: "So long as the imprint of the Treasury can be made out upon the piece of silver so long it must be taken at its face value. It is only by willful mutilation by punching holra ) in it that it becomes of less value than the stAiup indicates." There can be no comparison of the confederate note with tbe greenback. The greenback was legal tender it yon refused it, the debt for which it was tendered was canceled by the law. Tbe confederate black back or blueback was not a legal tender. In the early years of the strusgle an enthusiastic patriotism induced peopln to tako it at par. Later, when the event became doubtful, careful people refused it, because the law gave them the ontion of demanding pay in something else. If it

had been legal tender does any one doubt that it would have paid debts dollar for dollar wherever the laws of the Confederacy could be enforced! 1 shall treat your proposition to supply "government collaterals" seriously, because the Republican and Democratio parties are on record in supplying government collaterals very liberally to privileged slasses. Witness tbe world's fair, the national banks and the proposed snpplv to the Nicaragua canal; also, tbe Union Pacific railway. But the people of Indiana do not need collaterals. They have, in round numbers, twenty millions of acres of land, tbe average value of which, according to the decision of the Board of Tax Commissioners, is 20 per acre. Here, then, are four hundred millions of unexceptionable collaterals. Half the value of this splendid security would give us twohnndred millions. On tbe deposit of its own collaterals (United States bonds) the government "issues" to the national banks W per cent of tbe par value of such collaterals for twenty years at 1 per cent. Is there any good reason why the government should not also accept a first mortgage on my little farm in Vigo county, Indiana, and "issue" to me legaltender treasury notes for twenty years, and "tax" me therefor "one-half of 1 per cent, on tbe first day of January, and onehalf of 1 per cent, on the first day of J une," for each and every year that I shall see fit to use this loan or "issue!" In explanation of my bill for tbe relief of the people of Indiana I wish to correct the misapprehension of tbe Journal. 1 propose to lend to the people of Indiana legal-tender treasury notes for twenty years at 1 per cent, on first mortgage on real estate lots as well as farms as the school fund has been lent in this State. And 1 propose tbe same metbed of valuation, and certifying title and value, as that followed by our statutes in lending the school fund with some important changes as to foreclusure and sale. The Madison county Alliance has recommended this measure to Congress. Will the Journal do me the great favor to inform me at what figure the seventytwo millions of gold was sold that went from New York to London in tbe first five months of IS 01? Also, what particular worthless securities were on the New York market on Sept. 12, or 19. 1890 for a slight variation of dates is not material! I have looked over the markets for that period, and find no American securities varying greatly in daily quotations the daily variation being no more than at present, fractional parts of a cent so far as I can see by the "papers." our universal monitors in such matters. Even the Journal, 1 believe, reports "money on call" 183 in New York. Now, isn't the following statement truef English holders of American securities, needing gold to help the Barings, eent over their securities, demanding gold to the amount of seventy millions. If the gold had been refused, these securities would have been thrown on the market, with the effect of wrecking that sublime institution and bringing another Black Fridav of 1S73. Mr. Windom went to tbe relief of Jay Gould et ah with twenty millions of gold in a lump. More gold followed from the United States treasury, nnearned interest on bonds being paid a year in advance for tbat purpose. And isn't this fact the true explanation of the 185 price of "call money" in New York about the dates mentioned! As to the importance of this dlscnssion I feel oertain that nothing else is half so important to the Republican and Democratio parties in the whole country, and especially in Indiana, to-day. If a full and free discussion of this money problem will leave the Republican party on strong grounds, then the Journal could render no greater service to its party than to enter into it fully and freely. Witness Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and Iowa. IL W. Taylor. ANDEESoy, Ind., Jan. 2. m Indiana and the Presidency. To the Editor ot the JnUanalls rournalj An article in to-day's Journal on this topic ought to have a wide reading. Gen. Harrison's nomination in 18SS, on the assnranco by Indiana Republicans tbat it was the right thing to do, was an unqualified success. The work of the Harrison home clnb was a great and much-needed and eminently successful work. His administration has been even more of a success than his most sanguine friends predicted or dreamed. His renommation will be simply a, matter of course. He will be reelected by a larger electoral vote than any man since Grant, and he will carry Indiana by the largest popular vote ever given a presidential candidate. What is the matter with Ben Harrison! "He's all right." A Republican From Away Back. Ihdiaxjuolis, Jan. 7. Blight Swear with Ills Left. Ban Francisco Call. A brave French officer, now on tbe retired list, wbo lost his right arm in the

iranco-Prussian war, appeared as a witness before court in a city in tbe south of France a few weeks ago. When called upon to swear that he would tell tbe truth in the customary manner, the officer naturally raised bis left band. Tbe counsel for the defendant objected to the witness at once, on the ground tbat "an oath taken with the left band was worthless." The learned judges vrero unable to decide the Question, and withdrew to an ante-room for consultation. In a few minutes the solons reappeared, and the president read the following decision, from a liteiary and Satriotio point of view worthy of a lonsieur Prodhomme: "In consideration of tbe fact tbat when the glorious remnants of our army appear in our courts to respond to their legal duties, we cannot demand that they take oath with those limbs which they have lost in the service of their country, we decide that the oath iust made with the left band of the witness is admissible." Wandering Stars. Washington Post. Mrs. Potter and Kyrle Bellew go down into Africa to show Egypt how Cleopatra looked, and to give some earnest asp a chance to make a living, while Patti and Ricolini have come to us to illustrate the negotiable value of a memory. When we get through with Patti and Nicolini we'll know exactly how the Africans feel about Potter and Bellew, and it will be perfectly eafe for the band to play "Comrades." Dr. D.
