Boom the Gas Trust aaaessmeDt. _ « K* A MOTHER conrentlon tor Indianapolis! The delegates of the national prohibitory party will conreno hare naxt year. When the tows expands, aa it will by the suoceee of the Consumin’ Gas Trust, we may ex* tend our great reputation as the great convention town by getting the national meeting oi the two groat political parties. Illuminatin'*; <;an profits were shown by the recent action of the Chicago Gas company, which bought four hundred shares of its own stock-fees value, $18,000, for $160,000. The stock belonged to an estate, aad an application had been made to the edbrts for a receiver. Aa it was apparent the prayer of the petitioner would be granted, the company paid this prioe father than show its books in court. The News' Washington correspondence iodicatea the possible election of Colonel W. W. Dudley aa chairman of the republican national committee. From Chicago comes the nows that Judge Gresham’s friends consider him a presidential caudidato. A campaign in the interests of Judge Gresham managed by Colonel Dudley,would jiniini picturesque elements which the political world might be ransacked in vain to equal. ______________ Mb. Blaine’s presidential chances, the New York World thinks, have "gone glimmering,” aad it advances some reasons for democratic success which have method !n them, and which appeal to the republicans to nominate their strongest ticket if they kope to win. Says the World: The only theory on which Mr. Uleinc’s BonUoaUoa is urged—that, though losing republican votes, he would gain more than enough democrats to make it up—is unsound. The conditions have chenoed since 1884. The democracy is united. John Kelly is dead. Both parties sym pethlee with tae home rule movement fbr Ireland. The revolting personal attack* upon Mr. Cleveland can.not be repeated. Another treacherous Ben Butler diversion is impassible. And one other thing in which there ie a change since 1884: Then the republicans fought from inside the intrenchmenta of government control. Now they must fight from the outoide. It is the democrats who are intrenched this time. New YORK’S chief of police, Superintendent Walling, has written a book of reminiscences in which he stakes the folSng interesting remarks: The city of New York Is actually ruled by some twenty thousand office-holders, most of whom are taken from and controlled by the very worst elements In the commuiiitv I hare noticed one remarkable fact In connection with the Intimate relations between politics and crime, which is this: Alt the sneaks, hypocrites and higher grade of orimtoaU, when quss-

orter—those who rob by violence and brute force —lay claim to no uncertain tones to being practical aad energetic exponents of true democratic principles. Oi course, it is far from my intention to say that every republican is a sanctimonious sneak, hypocrite or forger; or that every democrat la a burglar, footpad, ptmp or rough. Nevertho lea, what I have alluded to is the tact.

The Qaertioa of Maaopoly. To tboee honest people who see monopoly in tbe act of the Consumers’ Gas Tract ashing for contracts, wo say “come aaw and let as reason together.” Oa the sinister gas-grabbery gang that are working this same theme ao aaaleasiy we have a# words to waste. They are shackling in their siervee end living in hope that tbe cardinal principle of their action, namely that the people are fools, nay be viadioated. We apeak only to the few who are honestly troubled aad these wa invite to torn to the advertising columns of thk paper. What do they see there? Every merchant who advertise* (and it k the live merchant who does advertise) k doing just aa the Consumers’ Gas Trust k doing—asking tbe people to daai with him. Every merchant asks you to buy of him and of him alone. His induoement is that he will aell as good stuff as any one else, as cheaply, aad perhaps cheaper, but he frankly tells you that he U doing this for his own profit. Does any one accuse these merchants of monopoly? No one ever dreamed of doing it. The question k absurd. The parallel with the case of the Consnmers’ Gas Trust k not exact. No, for tbe merchant w^o comet into the open market and asks you for yonr custom is doing it for his own benefit and profit. Tbe Consumers’ Gas Trust iu asking you for your costom is doing so not for ito profit, but foryonr own. It is not a business undertaken for gain. It is as unselfish an enterprise as ever enlisted human endeavor. It is made np of some 4,700 citizens. Ito purpose k to furnish fuel not even merely to those 4,700, but to the whole 125,000, enemies and friends alike, and this at not one cent of profit but at dead cost. It comes into the open market and asks you to patronize it simply that it may be aasnred aa a factor in the fnel supply of the town, not for its benefit, but for the benefit of all in saving us irom tbe combination and extortion of monopoly; a combination by consolidation or by power which by controlling the gas supply will by the thousand and one shifts so easily made, extort the last farthing. How is it possible that a simple request for contracts, appealing to every man’s free will and compelling none, can appear to any one as monopoly? The very essence of monopoly's being is wanting in it. There ia no compulsion—there is no profit sought. The aim is not high prioe, bnt low. It asks contracts not that it can corner the market, but that it may be able to keep the market from being oorntred. It pledges not to go above a certain price, and it pledges to turn any profits directly to paying back the loan by the people, and then when the investment is met to furnish fuel at a price that ia cheaper almost than "finding” it. To those who say, *T wish the Trust well, but I’m going to take gas of the first company I can,” there is this to say: Were it not for the Consumers’ Trust you would not have the chance you soon will have to get' gas, and when you did get it it would be at a coat that wonld take your earnings in excessive profits to build up the private fortunes of a few monopolists. We are not appealing against tbe action of tbeae folks. We are simply saying that if the Gas Trust fail, people will lose for all time a hundred fold what the sacrifice of a few month* or weeks in waiting wonld have saved them. The example oi Doxey has been quoted as monopoly by those who honestly think that tor the Gas Trust to do for the general gain wnst every merchant does for his private gain ia monopoly. What possibility of monopoly was there in Doxey’s offer? Of it we said at the time, and when the Gas Trust was never thought of— The Doxey Gas company should have such a number of contracts to the next three day* as to secure the prompt pining of ga* to Indianapolis. Now is the time and this la the chance. * * The Doxey company says: *'\Ve will supply you with gas on your terms. We will suppiv it not ■some time,’ but at a definite time. We name a definite and reasonable date at which we will have gas here. All we want is contracts under your own conditions in sufficient number to secure us if we undertake this work, which involves a large cash outlay, that we will for three years have at least a certain return to count upon.” .

Not the child's song with certleat laughter, rising From rosy Ups in child hood’s sunny dan. Nor that sweet strain which Tooth delights la singing. Are lUe*s beat melody or truest praise.

Although maturity, with sighs, confesses Her children’s songs bring pity end unrest Who soothes the ear of Grief with hint of pleasure? Who com forts Age with hope of things to be? Why have Youth’s song and life’s maturer measure No common key-note in life’s harmony? None know—and yet, from out our care and clamor We hear the wondrous music silence bolds. In piteous need, one human lamentation Moat beauteous strain of sympathy enfolds. Joy’s happy lay and Grier* heart-broken wailing No concord know till some poor, stricken heart. With iaith sublime, taros from its own repining To comfort with a song some life apart. As even song ot bird seems holler, sweeter.

companies come' patronize' them. The Doxey company is here, and now is the time for it. No fairer propoeition was aver made. It ia the same proposition that every merchant of Indianapolis is making every dayoffering goods in open market and asking your custom. This is just what tbe Gas Trust k doing, with the wide difference that it ia doing it all for the benefit of the eustomers and not one cent for itaelf. Tbe people should rally to it, for on its success, and it alone, depends cheap fuel and our greater future prosperity. Iz'Wu tbe People’s 'Worn, rLafayette CalLl Instead of granting away their righta to a private company, the Indianapolis people have oome together and subscribed tbe money to develop natural gas and pipe it to Indianapolia. From this distance it looks as though the remarkable success of the movement was a great triumph for The Indianapolis News, which actively championed it, and whose efforts ia that behalf were formally recognized at a great ratification meeting' held to celebrate the completion of the job of raising the proposed subscription. Railroad Equipment. ? Tha railroads of the United States are equipped with 26,415 locomotives, 19,252 passenger ears, 6.325 baggage and mail ear*, and 845,914 freight cars, being an increase of over 40,000 freight cars within a year, and of 115,000 freight can within five yean.

This remark upon Jenny Lind appears in an English paper: "If ever an angel leaning over the crystal battlements happened to let a voice slip out of her i ossesston, it tell upon the cradle of Jenny Lind.” Congressman Dougherty, of Florida, who owns a large farm, was arrested recently for violating the law by working on Sunday but was able to prove by a number of his old negro employes, who had known him from boyhood, that he "never struck a lick, ot work in his life.” A singular example of the effects of abusive language is reported from Topeka. A reputable gentleman named Blaogers was called an "old thiei” by an irate neighbor, and he was so overcome by the accusation that he teil in a dead faint and one of his legs was broken in two places. Andrew D. White, who was for nineteen year* president of Cornell university, is still a comparatively young man.

John Jacob Astor fourth, who has just come of age, will be almost the richest man on earth when he succeeds his lather. He is tall, lean and big-boned, lacking in the solid, Englishy appearance of his t^her. His features are irregular, the noseoeing indicative of power rather thau beauty. In short, he is far from being a handsome young man. Governor Bodwell, of Maine, took out a life-iusurance policy ot $20,000 some years ago, and instead of making it pavable to his wife, announced that he had had it written "for the benefit of some of -his deserving friends.” The policy is still in force, and many a young man in Maine is wondering whether the lightning will strike him when the governor dies. The Kansas railroad commissioners have just decided that when two roads cross each other they must enjoy equal rights and privileges and the road first built can not dictate terms to the road which desires to cross its track; also that the first built road can not claim from tbe road crossing its track any damage for increased expenses caused by the necessity of stopping trains at the crossing. I beard an anecdote yesterday that is too good, to be lost. A lady of this ciiy was riding in an avenue car. Among the passengers was a young colored man quite "swe 1 !.” A young woman ot his own color entered and he immediately rose and offered her his seat. She gracefully demurred, and said: “i do not like to deprive you, sir, ot your seat.” "Oh, no depravity, miss,” was his reply; "no depravity at all; I prefer to stand.” You can imagine the effeet upon the passengers.— [Washington letter. In some places in China debtors who are unable to meet the claims of their creditors are punished with the loss of sight. In the case which came under Dr. Morrison’s observation it was the debtor’s son who was the victim of the diabolical eastern. He was tied hands and feet and deprived wholly oi the sight of one eye, while that of the other would have been lost bat for timely surgical aid. The offense was that the poor fellow’s father owed the remorseless shylock for ty taels, or about fifty dollars. This is aa Indian boy’s composition on a rat: A rat or rats are good for nothing. They are useless animals, because they will steal, eat or spoil whatever it comes on their way. They will also eat eggs and little chickens and ducks. They tive in stables, pig pens, cellars and in the ships. The rats are great travelers; they will go in ships across the ocean. The sailors are sure to have their ship sink if the rats have left; perhaps the rats are the only good for to tell when the ship is going to sink.—[Carlisle (Pa.) Morning Star. The oft-asked question, "Where do seabirds obtain fresh water to alake their thirst?” is probably correctly answered by an old skipper, wbo says that he has frequently seen these birds fer from any load that oould furnish them water, hovering around and under a storm-cloud, clattering like ducks on a hot day at a pond, and drinking in the drops of rain as they fell. They will smell a rain souall a hundred miles or even farther and soud for it with almost inconceivable swiftnete. They can probably go a long time withont water. The Bank of England doors are now so finely balanced that a clerk, by pressing a knob under his desk, ean close the outer doors instantly, and they ean not be opened except by special process. This is done to prevent the daring and ingenious unemployed of the metropolis from robbing the bank. The bullion department of thia and other banks are nightly submerged several feet in water by the action of the machinery. In some banks the bullion department is connected with the manager’s sleeping room, and an entrance ean not be effected without shooting a bolt in the dormitory, which in turn sets in motion an alarm, 'if a visitor daring the day should happen to knock off one from a pile of half sovereigns the whole pile wonld disappear, a pool of water taking its place. This reminds ns of an anecdote the late Judge Loch rane used to tell on himself. "I was journeying,” he said, “between Augusta aad Atlanta with Judge . As I smoked one cigar after another I handed the mate, almost automatically, to traveling companion, who put the weeds I gave him into the upper pocket of his vest. When we reached Stone Mountain I felt in my own pocket for a cigar, but none could be found. The deairo to smoke growing by the prohibition from exhaustion of the supply, provoked me to exclaim emphatically "I would give five dollars for a cigar this very minute.

Bradley, tbe appellee’s decedent was engaged with other workmen to loading logs on a flat car, which stood upon one of tbe side tracks on appellant’s line of railway, such side track being twenty-five feet from the main track. A freight train, running on its usual time and at a moderate rate of speed, approached the station, over the main track. Upon one of tbe care, which was somewhat higher than the ordinary freight car, stood a brakemaa, 6 fret 3% Inches tall His head came in contact with telegraph wires stretched over the track in order to reach the depot oa tbe opposite side, which broke the insulator on tbe pole, detaching the wire and caustog it to fell down upon the top of a moving car, where, coming in contact with a brake handle, it was carried forward with the moving train. Iu a manner not explained, the wire coiled round tbe body of Bradley as he wood on the flat car. and he was dragged from the car and killed. There had been no previous accident at that place, on account of tbe wires, and even the tall brake man anticipated no danger from tbeir condition. Held: That tbe railroad company was only bound to anticipate such combinations ot circumstances and accidents and Injuries therefrom as it might reasonably forecast as Hkely to happen, taking into account its own past experience and practices of others in similar situations, together with what was inherently probable in the condition of the wires as they related to the conduct of iu business.

I commenced using It according to directions and used half dozen bottles, t was once at a way station and. getting left. I walked tkj •even miles and hive never felt any return of the old malady. After experiencing the good effects I must say I am sgtlsfiedwlth the result. I am sixty-eight years of age and I feel now like a young man and can go to the case when necessary and set up from six to eight thousand ents without any inconvenience. I send you this without sollcltajfe F. Woehl, 211 North Avenue. Chicago, under date of June 12, 1887. writes: “I deem It my duty V> thank you for tbe cure I received from your excellent medicine. I contracted a very severe case of blood poisoning about two years ago. Hearing of your medicine, I went to a drug store, the proprietor of which persuaded me to buy a preparation of his own, which he said was a sure cure. I used six bottles of hit stuff and grew worse all tho time. At last I got disgusted and despaired of a cure. 1 met a friend who told me that your medicine bad cured him. I went to the same druggist again and demanded your medicine. He re-

luctantf '

and demanded your medicine. He ratty told me twelve bottles, and I am now perfectly cured. I write this for the benefit of sufferers, to prevent their being deceived by false representations. I thank you again tor the benefit derived from your

medicine.”

Dr. J. N. Cheney, a prominent physician, residing in Ellavllfe. Schley County, Georgia, In a letter recounting the Infallible success he has In curing contagious blood poison cases In his extensive practice, writes: “Those who know the almost inevitable, permanently dangerous effects of mercury will welcome your discovery of 8. 8. 8. as a boon to humanity. The medical profession, always wary of proprietory medicines, is coming Slowly, and in some coses secretly, to the use of 8.8. 8. In coses of blood dig order. Of course a medicine that cures poisoning in Its worst form must purify the blood of every disorder.” Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases malted free. Tob swift brsoinc Oo., Drawer 8, Atlanta. Go.
