To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: In an . editorial to-day commenting; on the platform adopted by the city Social Democrats last Saturday night, the Journal makes a gross misrepresentation that is not in keeping with Its usual fairness. Instead of the platform eommendlnj; Itself to thoso who will not work, it 13 from them that we meet the most streniou.s opposition. The Soclul Democratic party Is composed of workers. Its foundation principle is opposition tu idlers of high and low degree who manage by any fc heme of robbery or beggary tu live at the expense of the hone. si worker. Our thief objection to the present political and Industrial system Is that It manufactures tramps', beggars and robbers, not Intentionally, of course, but as a natural consequence of the system. And thia necessitates the pr sent Ions hours of toil by those who work in order to produce supplies for their own needs and also for those who do not work. As regards government, we are opposed to paternalism in all forms. Our platform favors a co-operative and fraternal commonwealth, and consequently we ihjnk it right to furnish school siH'I'lies and also food and clothing to, children who ar. orphans or whose parents are unable to supply them. . In an editorial last Tuesday on "Economic Tendencies" the Journal said, In effect, that the best way to mitigate monopoly In manufacture is to "enlarge the number who ure participants in the proilts thereof." and to illustrate this you reftr to the municipal monopolies of Philadelphia, In which 50.000 voters share the benefits. Ami this Is the principle Involved in the platform of the Social Democrats. J. 11. WILSON. Indianapolis, April S. A HummIiiii Horatlnn.

THE PANHANDLE REPORT

THE LAUGE INCREASE IN EARNINGS IS DIE TO HIGHER HATES. The New Transcontinental Syntem Now Promoted l the Hill Symli cute tie ii er nl Huilway New. The annual report of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis Hallway is being sent to the stockholders, showing results of operations of the Panhandle for L"V. It is published In pamphlet form and is very complete. The report shows that the gain of Jl,!37.tt) was chiefly due to better average rates. Stockholders are given ample time to note how their property Is being managed. The income account was quite fully set out .n the annual report of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company early in March, which showed that the gross revenue for the year on the 1.407 miles operated was iL-J.lv.i.nO; net earnings were $0,757,00), and net income over all charges was ?2.3S2,r-"0. From the net income $1,5I.0ö7 was deducted on account of extraordinary expenses, dividends and other charges and $517,742 was carried to the profit and loss account. Details of the year's business now available show that there was a slight increase In the volume of tonnage, the number of tons moved in i:io being 23.7;h,220. as compared with 2.1,7v2;.S In lv;f. The average rate per ton per mile was 6.3 mills, as against 5.G mills in IS.'!). Net profit per ton per mile shows but a small Increase, it being 1.4 mills, as against 1.3 mills in lr:. Passenger traffic, shows a small gain as compared with lVn. but there was a decrease in net earnings per passenger per mile. The entire number carried was 8.750.- :, an increase of about 2 per cent., while the increase in passenger mileage was about 4 per' cent. President Cassatt in his report says: "In pursuance of' the- policy heretofore pursued of putting the property in a strong physical and financial condition the sum of $GD),ftto.67 was charged against income on account of extraordinary expenditures in revision of grade and alignment and other work not properly chargeable to capital account." Supreme Court DeeUlon. In the United States Supreme Court, yesterday, an opinion was handed down by Justice White in various cases involving the long-and-short-haul clause of the Interstate-commerce law. The principal opinion was rendered in the case of the Kast Tennessee & Georgia Railroad Company, and the charge was to the effect that lower rate was charged on freight carried to Nashville than was charged on freight to Chattanooga, the distance to the first point being greater than to the latter. Tae decision of the Interstate-commerce Commission, the Circuit Court and the Circuit Court of Appeals were all antagonistic to the railroad company, though on different grounds. The opinion handed down yesterday reversed all these decisions and was in favor of the railroad company, though without prejudice. The decisions in other similar cases were on the same lines. Two of the other cases decided were on proceedings against the Clyde Steamship Company, while the fourth was against the Western Atlantic Railroad Company. In the latter case the charge of discrimination was made with reference to the rates from Cincinnati to Atlanta, as against other places on the line of the road between the two points, including Marietta, Cartersville, Kingston, Adalrsville and Calhoun. In one of the Clyde cases, rates on the . Georgia railroad are involved and in the other case the rates on the West Point & Western Railroad of Alabama. In his opinion in the East Tennessee case. Justice White said the decision of the Circuit Court was not in accord with the finding of facts by the commission. The decision of tho Supreme Court was that "the decree of the Circuit Court of Appeals should he reversed with costs and the case remanded to the Circuit Court with instructions to set aside its decree adjufiging that the order of the commission be enforced and to dismiss the application made for that purpose with costs, the whole to be without prejudice to the right of the commission to proceed upon the evidence already Introduced before it on such further pleadings and evidence as it may allow to be made or introduced, to hear and determine the matter in controversy accoiding to law." In the cases of the Clyde Steamship Company, the decrees of the Circuit Court of Appeals and f the Circuit Court were modified by providing that "the dismissal of the bills shall be without prejudice to the right of the Interstate-commerce Commission, if it so elects, to make an original investigation of the questions contained in. the records pertinent to tho complaints presented to that body." As so modified the decrees were alarmed. Passenger Hate War Imminent. The announcement of the Rock Island Company that it will run cheap excursions between Chicago and Colorado points during the summer has stirred up competing lines to the lighting point. L'nless a compromise is effected a bitter war on passenger rates in the West may be the result. The Uurlington. yesterday, announced that it would not only meet the rates announced by the Hock Island, but would run the cheap excursions daily, instead of once a week, as determined by the Rock Island. The LUnlington claims that In) per cent, of the Colorado business, last summer, was done on the cheap excursion tickets then In effect. This concentrated the traffic on the days on which the low rates were available, while comparatively empty trains were run on other days. Por this reason the Ihtrlingtoli has decided to make rates of $2." from Chicago, from St. Louis and $15 from Missouri-riwr points for the round Irin to Denver, Colorado Springs anil Pueblo, to be In effect ilall from July 1 to 1 and from Seid. 1 to Pi inclusive, with final return limits of Oct. 31. The round-trip rate to Utah points is to be ?iJ higher. In addition it is proposed to make rates of one fare plus $1 for the round trip to Colorado and I'tah common points, from June IS to 00 and from July 10 to Aug. 31, with return limit of thirty days from date of sale, except that tickets sold on homeisoekers' excursion dates shall have return limits of Oct. 31. East-bound the r.urlington proposes to make a rate of one fare, plus $2. for the round trip, from Colorado and Utah points to all points in Western Passenger Association territory, from June l( to Sept. 1: with return limit to Oct. 31. The Hock Island people say they will meet whatever rates the Uurlington may make. The New Traiioonttnental Syteni. The New York Mail and Express said last evening: "From people close to Messrs. James J. Hill and J. P. Morgan it was learned to-day that there is ground for the story that a new corporation Is being considered for the purpose of carrying a controlling interest In the stocks of the larger railroad companies which they have styled the new transcontinental system. This newcorporation, if formed, would hold shares of the Northern Pacific. Hurlington. Erie and possibly the St. Paul and Great Northern. It Is not settled yet whether the debentures of the new company would be issued against tho underlying securities, but this is considered likely. This is the method pursued In the case of the Railroad Securities Company, which was organized by the Harriman people for the purpose of handling the Illinois Central. In connection with a plan to change the charter of the St. Paul road so as to permit a majority of the stock, instead of two-thirds, to increase the capacity some new points of interest were brought out. It was alleged in the application that James J. Hill and associates had made a traffic deal between the Northern Pacific and the Hurlington which diverted a large amount of business to the Burlington which formerly went over the St. Paul road, and it was alleged that unusual discrimination is being practiced under the new regime against the St. Paul Company. It is claimed that Mr. Hill and his associates have a large block of St. Paul stock and seek to control it." Part nf tlie Wnliush Syatem. The Cleveland leader this morning prints a story In effect as follows: "The recent effort of the Pennsylvania Railroad to obtain control of the Wheeling & Lake Erie by buying heavily of the sfock in the open market brings out tho fact that the controlling inteF8t in the property is owned

by George Gould and Col. Myron T. H?rrick. This makes the Wheeling & Lake Erie an essential part of the Wabash system, assuring it an entrance into Pittsburg, and money enough to build the much-talked-of extension into tho West Virginia coal fields. It is also known that the Wheeling fc Lake Erie is to be a part of the Southwestern system of the Goulds, being an extension of the Wabash and a feeder from the coal fields which it traverses and the Pittsburg steel mills for all the Southwestern lines which Gould controls." To He No Amalgamation. That steps looking to the combination of tho Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton, the Monon. the Cincinnati Southern and the Southern Railway are under consideration was admitted by Samuel Thomas, former president of the Monon, in an interview at Chicago yesterday. "1 think the combination will be effected, for all the roads concerned are favorable to it," snid General Thomas. "Tho scheme is not to amalgamate the roads, but merely to bring about a centralization of power in the management of the affairs of the various roads." Personal, I, oral and General Noten. A daughter of J. O. Conner, depot master at the Rig Four city freight depots, aged twenty-three years, died suddenly yesterday. In March orders were placed for 11,43!) new freight cars, against 9.33'J in March, l!on, and for 441 new locomotives, again3t 3S0 in March last year. J. T. Rrooks, third vice president of the Pennsylvania, returned on Saturday from the South, where he has been for several weeks, much Improved in health. The Southern Pacific will this month contract for ninety new ' locomotives, thirty-' eight of the mogul typo lor freight service and fifty-two heavy passenger locomotives. 1 President Williams, of the Seaboard Airline, says the story to the effect that the Pennsylvania is likely to secure' a controlling interest in that property is without foundation. The Evansvllle & Torre Haute earned in March $110.T'.d, against $122.H j i:) and $1'":.(k;s in ls::. Tke Kvansville & Indianapolis $24.075. against $2.,75 in 1W and against IKI'kJS in is. As recently predicted, business men on the line of the Pennsylvania. Erie-Akron route are urging the Erie and Pennsylvania people to make the Pan-American train a permanent arrangement. Frank Reed, general passenger agent of the Monon, says all indications now are for the largest summer travel that has ever been recorded and thinks it will add greatly to the revenues of the different roads. It is said by railroad officials at Topeka, Kan., that H. P. Mudge, general manager of the Santa Fe, will succeed to the position of third vice president of the road in place of J. M. Harr. The following passenger officials are in the city: W. R. Wheeler, representing the Lehigh Valley; E. (). Soule, the Hurlington. Cedar Rapids tt Northern; Col. William Shaw, the Chicago, Hurlington ft Quincy. To-day Trains 11 and 19, between Cincinnati and Chicago, will be made up of tho newest modern equipment, including a new parlor and dining car. and to-morrow Trains 11 and is will be made up of a similar equipment. The Big Four lines proper, the last week in March, earned $451,S47.4, an increase over the corresponding week of 19") of I1S.CS3.4'. The Peoria &; Eastern earned, in the last week in March, $63.51$., an increase this year of $G.4GU.30 Master workmen are proud of the fact that Indianapolis has mechanics who can do as fine decorating as that of the interior ef the Colon Station, a work which has been in progress three weeks by Indianapolis decorators. An important meeting of the Southern classification committee has been called at Chattanooga, April 16, to consider the avalanche of protests made against t he new schedule, which affects roads both north and south of the Ohio river. W. C. Seachrest. for the past ten years connected with the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company, at Portland, Ore., has been appointed passenger agent at that point of the Big Four, Michigan Central, the Lake Shore and the New York Central, succeeding George F. Heuesner. That the Erie will soon become a formidable competitor among the trunk line is evident, the new owners having set aside ;,o.Uou to bring the road up to a high standard. Heavy grades will be reduced, many curves eliminated, and. incidentally, forty-five miles of road will be built between New Lisbon and Pittsburg. The tirket brokers' offices at Pittsburg nro all closed as a result of a decision of the Supreme Court declaring constitutional the law prohibiting the sale of tickets by any one not authorized agents of railroad companies. Notices have been posted in conspicuous places tn all olfiees informing the public that no more tickets will be sold. When completed, work on the Western division of the Raltlmore &. Ohio, now in progress, will shorten the route between Pittsburg und Chicago six miles, and. In connection with this, the Baltimore & Ohio has arranged to expend several hundred thousand dollars In bettering its facilities for the reception and deliverV of freight at that point. W. H. Stuart, chief engineer of the Santa Fe company, announces that the proposed improvements of the Santa Fe shops at Topeka will cost $l.uO0.0y. At the election last week in Topeka the proposition to vote $7ü,tiX in bonds to aid in the purchase of the land for the new improvements was carried in the city by an overwhelming vote. The roads In the Southwestern Passenger Association have determined that bicycles are vehicles and not baggage, consequently no bicycles will be cheeked free hereafter, but the usual excess baggage rates will be charged, estimating the weight of an ordinary wheel at fifty pounds and tandems at P pounds. Some of the Eastern States have passed a law compelling railroads to check bicycles as baggage free of cost. A few months ago 175 men employed at the shops of the New York Central formed a union and made a demand for a scale of wages the same as paid at Huffalo, anl as the company had been thinking of abolishing the i'hops at that point and doing all the work at Ruffalo and East Albany an order has been Issued to abolish the shops at Rochester. James Macbeth, in charge of the shops at Rochester. ays the action of the men precipitated the movement. The Erie railroad has a method of handline Its ltsdlvMaal mileage tickets In uch

a manner that they cannot be scalped. The books are sold under a contract that they are to be used only by the original purchaser. Every time the ticket is used the holder must write his name, and if it does not correspond with that of the original purchaser as written in the book, the conductor may confiscate it and compel the person offering it to pay full fare or leave the train. One of the noticeable things the last few days is the falling off in through business while the local business has increased greatly. The Reit road yesterday took off three engines, which means a decrease in through traffic, while the city freight depots have increased their forces and are. without exception, working overtime. The increase in local business enabled Mr. Wood, agent of the Big Four, to re-employ part of the men dismissed a few days ago. Simdn Rothschild, a holder of $50,00) worth of stock, filed a plea In tho United State.? Circuit Court of Appeals at Cincinnati yesterdav against the Memphis &. Charleston Railroad Company and the Southern Railway Company, in which a receiver and an accounting are asked. It is also asked that the Southern Railway Company be held to have no right or title in the Memphis oi Charleston Railroad Company and be enjoined from any possession under a sale in February, In the buffet car of each (California limited train on the Santa Fe route there Is a log book in which passengers are asked to record their impressions Of the service, and the company has issued a book of fortv-tive pages containing what .rlifferent persons think of their service. F. R. Ross, of Manchester, England, says: "Nowhere can I find a line to touch the Santa Fe. 1 have tried fast trains all over the wofld, but find none to toich the Santa Fe for speed. -cleanliness and comfort." George II. Daniels, general passenger agent of the New York Central, at a meeting in New York a few days ago, gave some interesting statistics concerning the Vanderhilt line. lie said the lines operated 10.4.13 miles of railway and employed S7.200 persons. Among them are representatives of every country on the globe, from the original American to natives of India. China and Japan. The gross earnings in l'.XM were $H5.s;s.(eO. The lines handled 103.I.H53,0K tons of freight and 56,i?0,00H passengers. It paid out to employes over ?14,0ni,0!) and to their stockholders in dividends $11,I58,(X0. MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS.

Jerry Carter, a weak-minded negro, of Irvington, spoke to a young white woman, on University avenue, Irvington, Saturday afternoon, and her complaint that shehad been assaulted caused him to be taken into custody by Detectives Holtz and Morgan. Carter was taken before the young woman, who is the daughter of a lawyer living in Irvington. She identified him as the negro, but during the conversation admitted there had been no assault. Carter was then released. Yesterday he went to police, headquarters and was taken by the detectives to the Darter home for identification, if possible, by Miss Darter, who was assaulted by a negro several weeks ago. She was not at home, but later saw him at police headquarters. Her first remark was, "He's not the man." Carter was then released. He bears only the slightest resemblance to tho man described by Miss Darter as her assMlant and the detectives said they had no thought that he was. and the only reason for taking him before her was to take every possible precaution to catch the guilty man.

I don't care how long you have had your rupture, ror who has failed to curs you. I can cure you without operation by my own painless method. You can ga on with your work, just the same as before. With mv New Treatment you cm

throw away your truss forever, in a very women to consult me and I will explain

witnout pain or operation. THROW YOUR TRUSS AWAY Recause it wastes the muscles underneath and makes the "ring" weaker. Don't delay. A slip and fall, or hard cough or strain may cause strangulation, and with a truss on. danger of death from strangulation is greater. Have it cured before the rupture gets enormous in size, as they do when you advance In age. Who is more to be pitied than an old ruptured person? Consultation with me will cost you nothing. Every train brings a patient from a distance to be cured.
