COMMISSION QUESTION IT IS XOW WORRYIXO TICKET ACBXTS MORU THAN RAILWAYS.

Trrnm of thr AKrement Adopted liy the- Vnrloun Mnp-Mrellng of Traffic Association Alr-Llne Roads. As expected when the trunk lines and ome of the Western roads announced that they would pay no more commissioners, a vigorous protest la coming up from the ticket agents, who. In some cases, got much more out of commissions than they received as salaries, and from the ticket scalper, who last year had to depend largely for existence on the commissions they received for selling tickets over certain lines. From present Indications the general passenger agents Intend to live up to the agreement on the commission question. When such roads as the Erie and the Chesapeake & Ohio announce In a positive manner by circular that they will pay no more commissions, sayss a veteran passenger man. It looks as if the millennium was near at hand. The agreement is to the effect that on the whole or any part of a line controlled by parties to the agreement revenue shall not be reduced by the use of commissions, gratuities, allowances, net rates, elde cuts, or any form of concession or equivalent whatever, nor by any allowance for or In connection with the eale of tickets of any character or class, nor shall Buch tariff fares be evaded, changed, diminished or affected in any manner except as provided 'by the rules of the Trunk-line Association or of the Joint committee. The trunk lines alsc agree not to permit any connecting lines to reduce passenger rates over its road, and will refuse to share in any reduced tariffs. Any violation of the agreement will be reported to the trunkline commissioner, who will Investigate the same and report to the executive committee. The agreement does not provide for the imposition or enforcement of any penalty, and any party to the agreement may withdraw by giving fifteen days' notice in writing to the commissioner. As It stands, the agreement depends for its enforcement upon -the honor of the parties thereto, and the record of such broken agreements is a very long one. It is hoped, however, that the experience of the past two years will have been sufficient to make all the roads live up to the terms of the agreement and secure all the revenue possible from this class of business. Tratflc Association Meeting. The executive committee of the Central Traffic Association was in seslon, at Chicago, yesterday, but accomplished nothing "beyond some routine business. No application was made to the meeting for a reduction of the grain rate between Chicago and the Atlantic seaboard. The only thing of Importance which came up was the application of the Atchison road for the redemption of the prorating of tariffs on grain from points west of the Mississippi river. No action was taken cn the request. All of the routine matters were referred to subcommittees, which will report to the meeting to-day. A meeting of the lines of the Western Freight Association was also held in Chicago, yesterday, at the office of Chairman Midgley. The only matter under consideration was the protest of the Chicago Board of Trade against the prorating on grain.' This matter has become very much tangled as far as the grain trade is concerned. The elevator men are at the railroads all of the time demanding that all through rates toe abolished and that the rates be made up of locals only. On the other hand, the Hoard of Trade men proper, are besieging the roads for the opposite thing and the roads are In a quandary ns to which side of the fence they had better take. The Western freight meeting adjourned without taking any action of any kind on any subject. The committee of the Western passenger men which has had in hand the matter of the Union Pacific troubles with the association lines has reached an agreement which suits all of them and word was sent to General Passenger Agent Lomax, of the Union Pacific, asking him either to be present or to see that some representative of his road is in Chicago to attend a meeting to-day. In view of the declaration of the Union Pacific that it will attend no more meetings until the boycott upon it Is removed, it is not likely that the Union Pacific will be represented at the meeting at all. In this event, the other roads will go ahead without it. The agreement reached by the roads yesterday was on the matter of division of business via Ogden and Denver. This is the business on which the Union Pacific demands the long) haul, the other lines to take what is left. Chairman Caldwell, who is now in Montreal, settling matters with the Canadian Pacific, is having little difficulty with that line, but the Orand -Trunk is making considerable trouble. The Canadian Pacific is willing to live up to all the provisions of its agreement with the Western lines, but thA Orand Trunk wants a meeting of the trunk line and of the New England lines on th" subject to the dlfferertials to be allowed to the Canadian Pacific. The Weetern roads are likely to oppose the holding of the-meeting, ns it will open up the entire subject of differentials which they have Just managed to get out of the way after struggling with It for a long time. ludinnn'n Air-Line Roads. A civil engineer expresses the opinion that no State of the railway mileage of Indiana can show as many straight pieces of track ranging from thirty-five to one hundred miles In length. The longest stretch of airline Toad In the State is on the Chicago , and Detroit division of the Wabash, built two years ago. From two miles west of Montpeller to Hammond it is perfectly tralght. On the Nickel-plate is a piece of track eighty-five miles in- lensth. a perfect air line, and in all parts of the State long pieces of -track may be found, thirtyfive to fifty miles In length, which are perfectly straight. Tipton, on the Lake Erie & Western, is the center of th'rty-flve miles of straight track; from Brightwood east the Peoria & Eastern for forty miles is an air line: the Louisville. Evansville & Kt. Louis has two long stretches of straight track. It la stated that 70 per cent, of the railway mileage of Indiana is covered with long stretches of straight tracks. In the matter of grades the roads of Illinois will make a more favorable showing than will the roads of Indiana, but the roads of Ohio present as many grades to its mileage and really steeper than do the roads of this State. Electricity In Place of Steam. The New York. New Haven & Hartford railroad is preparing to equip Us Nantasket Beach and Warren and Bristol branches with electricity to replace steam power which Is now used. The Nantasket Beach line is ten miles and the Warren and Bristol twenty-one miles in length. The latter starts from Providence, passes through Fall River and terminates In New Bedford, a distance of fourteen miles. It is stated that the company intends ultimately to equip all Its minor branches with electricity. Personal, I.ocul and Genernl Note. The Monon mileage books are now accepted on seventeen roads, largely in Indiana and Ohio. The passenger trains of the Lake Erie & Western are now heated by steam from the locomotive. The Big Four has signed the agreement to abolish the payment of commissions on east-bound passenger business. A number of firemen who stood by the Wabash when the Debs strike was on, the first of the year were promoted to be engineers. Of the one thousand box cars which the Ohio Falls car works are building for the Pennsylvania Company, fiva hundred are assigned to the I'n'on line. The Lake Erie & Western, which recently threw the news companies off their lines, has given the brakemen the privilege of selling papers to persons on their trains. The operating expenses of the Big Four for December were about $380,000.

ment is in such excellent condition that a volume of business amounting to Jl.500,000 could be moved. A. Wright, roadmaster on the Monon, has been appointed to look after the track, the bridges, buildings, etc., of the Monon between Indianapolis and Monon and Monon and Lafayette. To aid the orange growers the managers of the Plant system of railways of Florida has reduced the rae on oranges to the Northern markets one-half or tire stock which is not frozen. At a meeting of the directors of the Central Pennsylvania & Western Railroad Company yesterday, K. T. .McCabe, of New Ycrk, was elected president. The board reorganized by re-electing the old directors. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy will put on a fast train between Savannah and St. Joseph, Mo., in order to compete with the time made between St. Paul and St. Ixmis by the Minneapolis & St. Paul, which is now twenty-one hours. The maintenance of way department of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton has purchased in Kentucky 250,000 ties. 35,000 of which have been distributed on the Indianapolis division, and will be put in as soon as the weather is suitable. The business of the Monon to West Baden and French Lick Springs for 1894 was 50 per cent, heavier than any former year, and the springs bid fair to become popular winter resorts. An unusually large number of people having visited there in. December and this month. The Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern has Just completed an extensive iron bridge, resting on heavy stone abutments, crossing Muddy creek, ten miles out from Cincinnati, a stream which, in years past, has given the company much trouble. The improvement cost $53,000. The inspection party of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton awarded the first prize for best piece of track to H. Ryan, foreman of Brownsville section. Here there is a grade of sixty feet to the mile and several curves, but the track is said to be the most perfect six miles in Indiana. The Knickerbocker express of the Big

r our is scneauiea at rorty-two miles per hour, St. Louis to Cleveland, stops included, which means that 75 per cent, of the distance the train must run fifty-five miles an hour, and considerable of the distance it runs at a speed of seventy miles an hour. The master bridge builder of the C, H. & D. has on several of their long bridges placed every fifty feet a small side platform, protected by a railing, on to which any person who attempts to cross the bridge and should see a train approaching can step on and remain safely until the train passes. An official of prominence in the railway orders says that the membership are paying but little attention to the appeals of Debs, and his friends for aid in a financial way to., carry the cases to the Supreme Court, ha, saying that if he gets aid from any orders it will be from labor unions outside of railroad circles. The quarterly meeting of the Central Traffic Association began at St. Louis yesterday with about sixty-five members in attendance. J. M. Chesbrough officiated as chairman. The object of the meeting was for the purpose of compiling and revising rates and to arrange for a number of district meetings. In 1894 four roads which, in part of their title, were named Midland, passed Into the hands of receivers. It is stated that there never has been a road in which Midland was part, of the title which did not, sooner or later, go into bankruptcy. Near at home the Illinois Midland and the Indiana Midland are such cases. The Big Four is arranging to go into the hauling of dressed meats on a larger scale, and yesterday commenced building an eight-thousand-ton Ice storage bouse east of the city, near the Belt road, and will hu'ld a sidetrack to back refrigerator cars to for iceing. Heretofore, the Big Four" has given this feature of freight traffic but little attention. The inspection trip over the Wabash lines showed the section at Clymers to be in the best physical condition, and Edward Whitehead, foreman, received the first premium. What Is known as the Rockfleld section, P. A. Murphy, foreman, took the second prize. The premium for the best kept yard went first to the Ashley, and second to the Montpeller yards. Competing freight men say that when the rebate vouchers come in it will be shown that the Lackawanna and Traders' Despatch have carried three thousand carloads of grain from Illinois and Indiana to the seaboard at a cut rate, since the agreement was entered into to make rates on the basis of twenty-five cents per 100 pounds, Chicago to seaboard. At the annual meeting- of the Western Railway Association which was held in Chicago yesterday the following officers were elected: President, B. F. Ayr; treasurer, G. S. Payson; secretary, C. R. Babouf. This association is a combination of the legal department of the different Western roads wihich has under its especial Care the protection of railroad patents. The annual report of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company for the year ending Nov. 1894, issued yesterday, shows as follows: Gross earnings, $17,497,140.80; operating expenses, f 13.320,829.25; net, earnings. $4,176,311.55; surplus, $127,070.49. The Lehigh Valley Coal Company for the same period shows: Gross earnings, $066 249.76; expenses, $595,575.69; net surplus, $fi2.274.07. A Lake Erie & Western official thinks that -the threatened litigation . to prevent that company securing control of the Indlonapolis, Decatur & Western will thwart the deal, as the Lake Erie & Western people are not anxious to purchase the road under the most favorable circumstances, and certainly will not want it if they have to fight for possession through the courts. One who keeps well Informed as regards the affairs of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton says he has good reason for stating that when that company gets full control of the Queen & Crescent, the two companies, possibly aided by two other Cincinnati lines, will build a Union Station near the center of Cincinnati, uslns a line located and 'for which an option was held by. H. H. Ives, up George street to near Central avenue, thence over to Sixth street. It is .stated that the property it would be nwessary to purchase can be Fecured for moiiy than it could when Ives contemplated such improvement. It is probable. It ia stated, now that the Pennsylvania has gotten control of the Vandalla, it will take some definite action looking to the removal of the present Vandalia city freight depot, so that the tracks west from the Union train sheds may be extended. It is said that the circumstances under which this romnany abandoned and tore down the old Jeffersonville, Madison & Indianapolis depot, on South street, are much similar to the conditions bv which the Sheets heirs think thev can hold the ground the Vandalia freight depot occupies. Had not the parties claiming an interest in the ground that the J., M. & I. depot stood on accepted a reasonable sum for their 'Merest. te -srround would havs been condemned, and it is likely the same course wilt ursued in the case of the Vandalia ground. .

FOR GOOD HIGHWAYS

PROF. J. It. COMMONS ADDRESSES TUB AXXIAL MBETIXG. Believe the Entire Bene lit of Good Road Dor'.nt Accrue to Country -Cities Should Help Bnlld Them. The Indiana Highway Improvement Association began its annual meeting in the Statehouse yesterday forenoon, the attendance at the opening session being limited to about twenty-five of those persons Interested in the subject of better roads. The officers of the association are: J. A. Mount, of Shannondale, President; C. Holler, of South Bend, treasurer, and Evans Woollen, of -Indianapolis, secretary. President Mount discussed the purpose of the association at the morning session, the discussion being led by R. A. Brown, of Franklin. At the afternoon session "a paper on "The Economic Phase of Good, Roads," by Prof. J. R. Commons, of Bloomington, was read by the secretary, Prof. Commons being unable to attend on account of the serious illness of his father. Prof. Commons discussed the subject under the heads of "Who gets the benefit?" 'How much does it cost?" "Who pays for It?" and "Who ought, to pay for it?" He quoted statistics to show that bad roads cost, the farmers of this country an amount equivalent to $1 an acre annually and, quoting from Prof. Ely, he said poor roads cost the famer $15 for each horse maintained. He felt that the farmers, however, were not benefitted In proportion to what good roads cost them, as the cities and larger towns were and therefore he contended that the -latter should bear a portion of the cost of making and maintaining good country roads. He thought the law of 1831, enacted , by the New Jersey Legislature, was a step in the right direction, wherein the owners who are benefitted pay onetenth of the cost, the State one-third and the county the remainder. "The federal government has protected manufacture," said he, "and fostered -iose industries which concentrate in -..es. From helpless infants they have bme stalwart adults, n-e farmer has paid the bills. Now agriculture is in a position to need protection. The best possible protection is good roads. If we wait for the farmer to build the roads we assign him a burden he cannot bear in agriculture. Just as protection preceded manufactures then w shall develop our greatest industry so that in the course of time it will be able, like manufactures, to bear increased taxes and thus recompense the State for the outlay in its behalf. "But the federal government cannot undertake this expense. It remains for the State governments to do so. Let the federal government protect manufactures and commerce, let the State governments foster agriculture. How can it be done? The most economical and efficient aid is found, perhaps, in the creation of a State highway commission. A State highway commisison, composed of experts, giving their entire time to their work, assisting county and township supervisors, would do more for road improvement In Indiana than any other legal arrangement. Next, the State should make appropriations in aid of county gravel and macadam roads, like the State aid in New Jersey. It might not go so far as to contribute one-third, but it should assist liberally. It has been estimated that Indiana spends $2,600,000 yearly for roads. One-fourth or one-third of this could bring better results if expended by the State instead of counties and townships, under the supervis.on of the State highway commission." The speaker thought the money for good roads could be raised by adopting an inheritance tax law similar to that in force in. Ohio and New York. 1 Other papers of the afternoon were by L. H. Gibson, on the "First Thing to be Done;" I B. Ewbank, of Indianapolis, spoke on "Neighborhood Roads," and James N. Hill on "Help for Weak Districts." "Needful Good Roads Legislation" was discussed by Capt. S. M. Stockslager, of Corydon. Just before adjournment of the afternoon session the following committee on nomination of officers for the coming year was appointed. J. N. Hill, of Owen county; Dr. E. H. ColMns, of Hamilton, and W. Sanford, of Hancock. THE EVEJflXG SESSIO.V. Gen. Roy jfone Give an Outline of the Movement Elsewhere. The first business to come before the meeting of the Highway Improvement Association at its session last evening was the report of the committee on nominations, which reported officers, for the ensuing year as follows: President, J. A. Mount, Shannondale; treasurer, Geo. W. Dowell, Quercus Groj; secretary, L. B. Ewbank, Indianapolis vice presidents, G. V. Menzies, Mt. Vernon; M. J. Niblack. Vincennes; J. H. Stotsenburg, New Albany; O. J. Glessner, Shelbyville; David E. Beem, Spencer; Lewis S. Atler, Remington; T. E. Bentley, Greenfield; Evans Woollen, Indianapolis; P. S. Kennedy, Crawfordsville; W. C. Latta, Lafayette; W. A. Osmar, Logansport; I. B. tMcDonald, Columbia City, and C. Holler, South Bend. Judge P. S. Kennedy, of Crawfordsville, was the first speaker of the evening, his subject being: "What, if any, Highway Legislation Is Desirable in Indiana?" He held that legislation is needed. Roads should never be allowed to get in such condition as to need repairing. This, he thought, could be brought about by legislation formed on some theory that would cause the roads to be constantly worked. A system is needed by which new material would be supplied as rapidly as the old Is exhausted, in place of the present shiftless method. He favored the letting of the road work by the county commissioners to responsible persons, who would be required to give bond for the faithful performance of the work, compelling them to turn over the roads to their successors with a specified amount of packed gravel on the roadbed. His address was well received by the audier.ee, which was considerably larger than that at the previous sessions. Following Judge Kennedy. Gen. Rov Stone, of Washington, special agent and engineer of the United States road inquiry, was introduced. General Stone began by saying that what Indiana people did not know about bad roads was not worth knowing, and then proceeded to explain the nature of the work of the road bureau at Washington, which was intended to be what the signal corps was to the army. The work in favoi of good roads has had some backsets dning the past yer. In Missouri tne :onstitutional amendment to permit an increase of taxation by counties has been defeated; in Michigan the optional county bonding law has been defeated; in New York the county boards have rejected Governor Flower's county road law, and in Massachusetts there is serious opposition to the appropriations asked for State road building. These failures suggested that other means must be found to build roads besides taxation or bonding. There are three States in the Union in which good roads are doing their own talking New Jersey, North Carolina and Kentucky. In New Jersey, wherever a neighborhood assesses itself for a part of the cost the State and the county do the rest; in North Carolina, convict labor is usfKl with success, and in Kentucky, in the early days of 'the movement. State aid was given, but now the counties aid those localities that will assess themselves. Other States are moving rapidly in the direction of good roads. Ohio is seriously centemplating a system of electric roads for country traffic, and in Pennsylvania many townships have issued bonds for building stone roads. The hard times have developed remarkable economies in the construction of roads, improved implements are constantly being developed, the railroads are showing a deep concern in the improvement of the highways, the movement for wide tires is steadily progressing, and, taking the country as a whole, there is more to hope from the practical results of what little improvement ts going on than there is to fear from the widespread resistance to a general improvement. The best agency by which the things aimed at by the good roads advocates could be accomplished was, the speaker thought. that a permanent State highway commission be ultimately clothed with such authority as the Legislature may choose to give it, and that meanwhile a temporary joint legislative commission, composed of members of both houses and representatives of the State Bond Association and other organizations concerned in the subject, be instituted to devise and report the necessary bills for the establishment of the permanent commission and the employment of convict labor and to consider the plan, of State aid. The discussion following General Stone's address was led by Judge E. U. iiaetia,-

dale, and was in line with the thoughts presented by both speakers of the evening. J. A, Mount, Judge P. S. Kennedy and , Judge J. H. Stotsenberg were appointed as ; a committee to consider the suggestions j

made at the meeting and to endeavor to get some road legislation through the present session of the Legislature. Indiana, Engineering: Society. The Indiana Engineering Society was in convention, yesterday. The annual address was delivered by the president. C. G. H. Goss. After reports by the officers J. F. O'Brian, of Putnam county, moved that a legislative committee be appointed to consider legislation desired on drainage and road laws for the benefit of the State et large. The society then adjourned to attend the good roads congress, and will meet again at 9 o'clock this morning. A M'IiLNKLI.G TAX CASE. A Sample of the AVorkinsr of the Pres ent Assessment Law. People are more prompt this year about paying their sprinkling and sweeping as sessments, which has kept the clerks of the county treasurer's office very busy for the past few days. Many property owners profited by their experiences of last year and resolved not to be caught in the same trap again. Then the present Board of Works required contractors to notify prop erty owners when assessments are due. The present system seems unsatisfactory to everybody, except it be the lawyers, who have reaped a harvest of fees in making collections. A number of firms have existed for six months past upon fees collected from delinquents of last year. When a property owner faus to pay his sweeping or sprinnnng assessment on time ne is ac the mercy oi tne contractor and his agents. On the books at tne treasurer's ottice are scores of accounts, after which are written, "Don't cohect," with the name of the collecting firm following. This means the contractor has put the bill in the hands of an attorney who will make the collection. It is impossible for the property owner to pay the assessment at the treasurer's ofnce after it nas become delinquent. Clerks at the treasurer's office say it is a matter between the property owner and the contractor, and they have no authority to receive the money after it has become delinquent if the contractor prohibits itMany complaints have been made at the treasurer's office of the size of fees charged by the contractor's attorneys for the collection of last year's assessments. It seems that delinquent property owners have been charged all the way-from $5 to $20 for the collections of small assessments, amounting to but a few dollars. Frequently the persons so charged are delinquent through no fault of their own. They are ignorant of owing an assessment, until notified by the attorney that they are delinquent and threatened with a suit if they refuse to pay the assessment with the fees attached. The property owner realizes that he owes the assessment and that if the case should be brought to trial, he would be madj to pay the amount with the cost of litigation added. The case of J. W. Fort, a member of the firm of Fort, Johnson & Co., stock dealers, is recalled, to illustrate the workings of the present system. Mr. Fort owns a lot on Talbott avenue. He was not aware that any sprinkling had been done on the street until presented with a bill by Richcreek & Barker, attorneys. Mr. Fort had not been notified of the assessment by either the contractor or any of the city employes. He had asked for all bills against him when he paid his taxes, but the sprinkling assessment had not been given him in the lot. It never is, unless specially asked for. The assessment against Mr. Fort amounted to something like $2.43. Attorney Richcreek put in a bill for $16.50, for fees. Rather than go to court over the matter, with the prospect of having to pay the court costs, as well as the fees of an attorney. Mr. Fort paid the amount, but he is now doing everything he can to have the Legislature amend the charter so that sprinkling and sweeping shall be paid for out of a general fund and thus do away with the present system.

THE NEW A. JACKSON

HIS HOME IS I.V ISDIANA AXD HE'S KXOWX AS MATTHEWS. Governor' Presidential Boom Sprnng Lnst SIsht Provide a. Sample Fen for Mis Democracy. Governor Claude Matthews believes that pie is pie, whether it be of the good, old Vermillion county bake, or of that figurative goodness which the White House chef puts, with a sprinkling of salary; in the official Democratic pie. And while the Governor is not ready Just yet not for a while, mind you to take the boys to the : national kitchen, yet he is powerfully willing. Miss Democracy of Indiana, who has some hope of being appointed housekeeper at the national capital next year, has been casting about for a chef. At least the Governor, with the suave insistence of a French servant applying for a situation, has led her to believe as much. The Governor called on Miss Democracy. "Madam," said he, bowing low and beaming those kindly blue eyes, "I understand you want Borne one to go to Washington with you to well, to cook." "Umph, I dunno," replied the lady, somewhat noncommittal. "But, madam, think of the good things I can prepare for that sweet mouth of thine that mouth of a symmetry and grace such as the gods never deigned to give even a rose -bud fresh from the morning dew. Think of the toothsome viands I could tender to tickle the palate of thy many sons. I beseech the, do not overlook me." Miss Democracy could not resist the blandishment, nor could she refrain from further questioning this flattering applicant. "Are you good at pie?" she asked naively more naively than a Democrat asking for congressional nomination In the Sixth district. "Pie," exclaimed Mr. Matthews, catching the clew to the good lady's weak spot. "Madam, I assure you on my word of honor, Hebe I believe it was Hebe never rolled better dough nor baked a crisper crust for Jupiter on dazzling Olympus' heights. Pie, did you say? Ah, madam, if there is one weakness I have a weakness I would fain call a virtue, since you show it your favor it is for making pie. And pie, to be delicious, must be well sliced. Kind madam, trust me as to the pie." "But," half mused the lady, "I don't know just how you would suit. There's Daniel V. and Isaao P. to be consulted. I tell you they are not so easily pleased. Their chops are yet eking grease from the surfeit of good things and their appetite has been dulled by the pampering of long official living. Do you think you could cook to satisfy them?" Mr. Matthews paused for a reply, and then with the social diplomacy of a Cheaterfield, he tweedled the lady completely in scarce a dozen breaths. "Madame," said he, flooding his face with winsomeness, "I should hate to thiols, you would allow any one else to dictate to you an appetite. Who are these men thf.t should no.d their own tastes above a woman, so nobly endowed? Madam, f trust, ;s a new woman, with the fin de siecle greatness of her sex not the creature of su?h men. Who hath right or license to gainsay her choice? Madam, the mere contemplation of it would be the basest treason. Assert thy majesty and stamp the snivelers till they lick thy foot in abject humility. It Is the measure of homage due thee." The Governor had the iaa s hat growing painfully small in diameter by this time, and his prehensile eye saw he had her. "Yes, I must admit it" and her eyes went to the rioor and she snickered. "Daniel hasn't been just right to me." Then she tossed her head and went on: "The ida of him trying to dictate to me! Bah! A ever even thanked me for what I have done for 3iim. Hasn't even come to see me to-night, when I sent for him. He shan't feed at my trough any more. But Isaac, you know, hasn't been so bad. Isaac never come late to dinner, and he never grumbled about the pie although, to be sure, he always got a big enough slice. Little Isaac with his sweet voice and child-like ways, I always thought well of." So It was all arranzed. Air. Matthews was to be the chef and little Isaac was to come to the first dinner he prepared. The Governor was not sure but it was all an allegorical dream when he came down to the office the next morning. It was such a good joke this thing of Claude Matthews applying for a position as a cook. H laughed as he dropped into his easy chair to look over the mail which Myron King brought him. "Myron," said he, "who was this codger that interpreted dreams back, in the early days." Myron shot his underlip out, cast his eyes to the ceiling and tried to think. He couldn't. "Oh, you kr.ow this fellow that told such wonderful things and was so wise," went on the Governor. "I can't think who it was," replied King, with eyes still to the celling. "I know I wasn't living at the time." "Oh,. I know that. It couldn't have hppn you," added the Govemo innocently enough. on: n was josspn wno Interpreted Pharoah's dreams. I wish I had him here." The Secretary wanted to know why. Then the Governor told him of his dream, of Miss Democracy and how she promised to take him as a cook. "I'm your Joseph," ejaculated King, "I'll interpret that dream. Miss Democracy wants something good to eat. Just let me fix up the dinner. And pie? Say, I'll give em a symbolical taste of the pie that's to come when we get to be President. Eh, Governor. Pie? We'll make it wine and turkey sandwiches and ham and such a feast that Miss Democracy will fairly open her eyes. You can be thankful, Governor, that you have such a Joseph." And that's the way the Jackson day banquet started, according to a prophet. BELL SLAPS CLEVELAND. An Extraordinary Way of Harmonixiufir the Indiana. Democracy. What Governor Matthews provided in the way of pie at Tomllnson Hall last night, it being St. Jackson's day was very good, as far as it went, and it went with great speed. Mr. Taggart had a hand In the affair as a provider and should divide the glory in part with the Governor. Tables ran the entire length of the hall, in six lines, and were resplendent with ham, cold turkey, vinegar and oysters. Perhaps five hundred were there, most of whom were from this city, and after they had all been martialled in the gallery corridors, a procession was taken up and the lines led down to the banquet floor, out of the wilderness to the promised land of Matthews. It was so well understood it was purely a Matthews af fair that there was absolutely no need of putting Mr. Matthews's picture above the stage, second only to the full length corpulency of Grover Cleveland. In a more modest position was the likeness of Hendricks, for the Pie-Democracy loves better a live presidential candidate than a dead idol. Senator Daniel W. Voorhees was stinsingly rebuked not a likeness anywhere, and tor Turpie, the party did not seem to think him of sufficient importance or standing to even merit a passing mention. Isaac Pusey Gray. that benign statesman who is willing to take anything he can get, no matter the source, was there. He never sulks, and not getting what 'he wants will take the next .best thing, or the third best thing, or what ever may befall him. Mr. Gray was there, in a position subordinate to the Governor. There was a falling short in the programme as first arranged. One by one the prominent outsiders sent regrets and it evidently extended down to the invocation feature of the event. Mr. Mllburn who was to have offered a prayer was not there. Of all the star guests, ex-Governor Campbell was the only one to show up and he did not seem to inspire a great deal of en thuslasm. The ex-Governor was in good appetite, withal he had some little difficulty in keeping up with the mad haste of the statesmen from the Fifteenth Ward. who had been presented with tickets. The Sullivan administration was well represented, nearly every man who held office under the Sullivan-Tron regime being in attendance. Greene Smith, with, bull dog expression frowned over the gathering and in wardly chuckled at this child s play which had not so much as a picayune fee in it. One of the talented servitors whom Mr. Tagarart had on the scene, snuffled nervous ly about the ex-attorney general's chair, and wondered, after awhile, if it wasn't all bosh this newspaper talk about Mr. Smith being a good man tor fees. When Governor Matthews arose to speak, at 10 o'clock, after all the gentlemen from 4k Fifteenth ward and tha late Sullivan

administration had filled their vest pockets with cigars, there was an applause to do the Governor's heart good. Napkins and handkerchiefs were waved, Myron King sitting two tables away, but directly opposite the Governor, giving the queue. "Your meeting to-night," said the presidential aspirant, "is significant of th history of your- party that knows no death in defeat. With unwavering purpose and consciousness of right, with eye lifted to its lofty aims, it rises triumphant above discouragement, defeat and death. It can know but temporary defeat, for it is and has been the party of the Constitution and must exist as long as that is the supreme law of the land. The party till has a splendid mission to perform, to lead us back to the old reverence of the Constitution and the old faith of dealing honestly with ourselves and with the common good of all in view." As the Governor sat down, after announcing the toast of ex-Governor" Campbell, some one in the crowd began the tune "The Campbells Are Coming," much to the disgust of Myron King, who unscrewed his neck and turned about to find the offender. There was so much applause that the private secretary became gloomy. Could it be that this presidnt'al banquet would prove a boomerang? Perish the tnougnts Ohio'. favored Tjmocrat confirmed the

impression he made here as a public speaker on Memorial day 'several years ago. He evidently spoke extemporaneously, for at times he was lost for a thought, or words to express it. His remarks were desultory and made no impression. M. D. King's face grew brighter as the speech proceeded. The most notable thing tne ex-uovernor said was this: "Let us emulate the ex ample of those two great New York chiefs, who met at dinner the other day and shook hands." This was well received. And again like this: "Andrew Jackson gave voice to the words, which seem now to be tabooed, To the victors belong the spoils.' " All with a fine bit of scorn for civil service. much to the delight of the audience and the barometrical change of one M. D. K.'s expression. "I say," went on Air. uampDen. rising to a climax, "if there are any Republican postmasters in Indiana, for God's sake get them out 'before next Saturday." High appreciation manifested. "I see some one below me has a toast, 'Why Are We Democrats? Why should such a question be asked. I asked it in six States of the Union before the recent little flurry, and they gave Republican majorities ranging all the way from 50,000 upward. inese, ana oiner bright gems, made up the effort of the orator from Ohio. Hnn .T. Ci. Shanklin. of Evansville, as usual, had a little sensation. M. D. K. was almost thrown into a convulsion oi joy one moment, and the next was hurled Into the misery ana agony oi aouui-au uy the way in which Mr. Shanklin neatly turned his remarks. After a long and able eulogy of Jackson, Mr. Shanklin went on something like this: "We need an Andrew Jackson here todav. Who knows but that we have him rieht here in this hall? Perhaps we are entertaining an angel unawares. Who knows but that we have a future president or tne United States within easy sound of my voice." The applause was uproarious, greater than M. D. K. had anv reason to expect, till Mr. Shanklin added: "I did not intend to be personal, but I see from the expression on several faces near me that I was so taken." And he looked Isaac Pusey Gray straight in the face. M. D. K. felt the world slipping away without him. But .Mr. Shanklin then gracefully turned about and looked Claude Matthews straight in the face. Happy Myron D. King! Charles L. Jewett, of New Albany, was the next speaker, responding to "The President of the United States." Mr. Jewitt was candid, even to the extent of braving the displeasure of the au gust party leaders. who had gathered to have a vernaoie love reast, rarner man to nave the truth about the Indiana gerrymander flaunted in their faces. He did not attempt to justify the gerrymanders, but wondered at the defeat which befell the party immeditely after making it. In this regard he said: "At the very next election (1886) even In Democratic Indiana, the Statehouse was filled with Renublicans. And as for the Legislature, why, notwithstanding a promising gerrymander one which when enacted looked so perfect that we seemed to 'take a bond of fate we secured a bare majority on 1oint bfliot by the aid of the vote of a Populist Representative, and by swearing that we ran my good frlpnd. Judge xseison, for Lieutenant-Governor merely for the fun of the thing. Then came the defeat of 1888, and power and place .departed from the Democracy." Mr. Jewett seemed to have a bone to pick with Congressmen in general and with the Indiana delegation in particular, ne, attacked the spoils system, but admitted that he was a spoilsman and would continue to be If the system could be made to reward workers nd not those who happen to have a "pull" with their Congressman. After venting his wrath on the Congressmen and Senators, he continued: "Let us see about the other false pretense, hy which the managers of the spoils system have pulled the wool over the people's eves. How about 'the boys in the trenches?' How about those 'victors' that demagogues glibly declare shall receive the spoils. Of all political lies and shams thi3 is the meanest. It may well be denounced as a contemptible cheat, a confidence game which has been played on the masses of both parties until the limit of patience has been reached. The spoils do not go to the 'victors,' if by that term you Intend to designate the great mass of working, earnest, worthy, modest Democrats. On the contrarv, these places are, as a rule, given to the crafty, the persistent, the brazen; to dependents and incapables. With some honorable exceptions, men are elected to Congress by the dominant party, act as, if the simple fact of their elevation to the office of Senator or Representative give them the absolute right to bestow all other places. And they proceed to do so, but how? Do they seek out the capable, worthy, deserving, working Democrats? By no means. One class of these thrifty politicians fill these places with their favorites, relatives and flatterers. Another class bestows the places on such as have a puU'; such as have exercised, or may have Influence in precinct, county or congression al conventions, ah tnese omce oroKers agree to one thing, and that is that public office is a private perquisite. If you complain thev whisper to you in great confidence that the President Is acting very badlv toward the party. If you seek an appointment and can get the proper assistance from the great man who represents vour district or State in one of the halls of Congress, you will succeed, no matter bow little you deserve from the party. On the other hand, if after years of faithful, earnest, modest work for the party, you sack a place, you may as well throw your party service to the winds, for you must succeed by other methods. You must find favor in the eyes of your master, this congressional middle man, cr you will surely fail, no matter how long you have been getting cold and wet doing duty with the other 'boys in the trenches.' " Minister I. P. Gray had but little applause when he arose. His reception, compared to that of Governor Matthews, was decidedly chilly. The minister, realizing in a moment that it was not his tea party, made haste to explain that he would cut his remarks short on account of the lateness of the hour. His toast was "The Democratic Party; Are Its Principles Sufficiently Potent to Regain Prestige?" His rhetoric and grammer were beautiful. Among other things he said, "The Democratic party are" and "I will confine my remarks to as few a words as possible." Ex-Congressman Shlvely had "Party Platforms" as a toast, and Secretary of State Myers "The Democratic Soldier." R. C. Bell, of Fort Wayne, that highminded statesman.who suppressed the resolutions in the last State convention condemning his side partner, Cal Brice, of Ohio, al30 had a sensation, one that might have been sent for the occasion by Brice L himself so bitter was it by innuendo against President Cleveland, said Hell: "As a special means of saving grace, I am of the firm opinion (and In this I believe I am very, very far from txinar nlone) that when we come to again nominate a candidate for President, we should choose as our standard bearer a man from the great West. In 'this geographical designation, I would by no means exclude the Hoosier State. Many of us think, indeed, that we need go no further westward than the confines of Indiana. Her gallant Democracy can furnish plenty of the very best of material. "At all events, we should have a candidate for this high office who will be in sympathetic touch with the great masses of our entire country' North, South, East and West a man who does not draw his inspiration almost wholly from capitalistic circles or centers, and who ia not so Impregnated with their selfish and provincial ideas as to be almost nonreceptive and Impervious to all other; a man who is wholly free from all suspicion of being in any way subject to the dictation of Wall-street so-called financiers, but real sharks; a man who knows and appreciates how much of this great country lies west of the Allegheny mountains, for there is a great deal of 'out-of-doors' that lies west of that line, and which Is filled with intelligent, educated, reading, thinking and sturdy Democrats. We want a man who, before his midlife has crossed the summit ot that Appalachain range with his steps and face turned toward the setting sun; we want a man who is . at least as much at home on our boundless prairies and broad grain fields as on the steam yach of an Eastern millionaire; a man who is not out of the reach or influence of his own party associates and supporters, and possesses the ability and inclination to command the good will

FORTY THOUSAND

That's tbo Fumljer of Physicians Who Use . the flew Preparation for Dyspepsia and Wasting Diseases. They Do So Because It Is Not a Secret Patent Medicine. And Because They Know It Corel Every Form of Infiljj estlon and Stomach Trouble. It has been recently stated that not leas than 40,000 physicians are using or indorsing the new discovery for indigestion sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Dr. Tomlinson gives the following reasons why physicians regard this new remedy with so much, favor: First, because it ia NOT a secret patent medicine, but a scientific combination of vegetable essences, pure aseptic pepsin, free from animal impurities and of very high digestive power, bismuth, and golden seal. - It has been tested repeatedly and the experiments have rroven that one grain of the digestive principles in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest three thousand times its own weight of lean meat, eggs, oatmeal and similar wholesome foods. The tablets act wholly upon the food taken into the stomach, digesting it thor-; oughly, no matter whether the stomach Is in good working order or not, and cure all forms of dyspepsia and stomach troubles on the common-sense plan that they nourish the body and REST the stomach at the same time. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not act upon the boweis like the old-fashioned after-dinner pills, nor are they an artificial stimulant like "stomach bitters," nor are they in any way similar to so-called predigested foods, which consist of So per cent, of "glucose." the stuff that cheap candies are made from, but Stuart's Digestive Tablets do what none of these do they act wholly upon the food eaten and digest it completely, and the cure of indigestion la an assured fact, because t the food being promptly digested, it cannot lie for hours in the stomach, fermenting,' decaying, filling the system with the germs of disease, but is assimilated, nourishing and invig- . orating not only the body and brain, tout the stomach itself, as well. The tablets are absolutely harmless and can be given and ARE given with benefit to little children and infants suffering from indigestion; as shown above they contain no mineral poisons, nor anything In any way i'njurious. Dr. Wuerth says he has noticed in many cases that the tablets not only cured the indigestion, but that a very noticeable increase of flesh resulted where people who used the tablets were thin and run down in flesh before taking them, and it Is not at all surprising that such should bo the case when it is remembered that most people are thin because their stomachs are out of order, and when perfect digestion is brought back an increase of flesh is the natural accompaniment. Within the last six months many thousand cases of stomach trouble and dyspepsia have been cured , by Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and their convenience and popularity is such that druggists every-, where are now selling them. The price is 50 cents per package, and if your druggist has not yet ordered them he will get them for you from his wholesaler. They are manufactured by Stuart Co., Marshall, MYour druggist, if he is honest, will tell, you that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only preparation now before the putmo recommended and designed solely for the cure of indigestion and stomach troubles; no other claims are made for it; It is not claimed to be a cure-all.
