Giving Too Gneaply.
To tbe Editor of Tbe Indianapolis Newt:
I wish to register my unqualified condemnation of the proposed Broad Eippls rapid trapsit charter, and I hope that ever? citizen who feels as 1 do in this matter will make it known. It is time that this giving away of the people’s rights was stopped. Not only the rights, but the wealth that tbe people will create by the growth of popula-
tion is involved in this charter.
Tbe first and most serious objection is that it introdnees another enemy of good government into city affairs in the shape of a monopoly, which will toy to evade the performance of ita duty, or as much of it as it can, by the corrupt use of money. This has been illustrated In our experience with the Citizens’ Street Kail way Company, The second objection, and a serious one also, is that the compensation is entirely inadequate to the benefit conferred. Five per cent, is not enough. It mav be enough now, but our city will grow. lc five years it may not be half enough. In ten years 20 per cent, may, not be enough, and in twenty years 50 per cent, may not meet the increased wealth imparted by population to this franchise. As the city increases in

I contend that the people should have the wealth that they create. That which
the pqhlie makes belop Any n»n or set of men eiate this fact should
hold office. All that this company should be allowed is ten percent on its investment; the balance belongs to the pnblie and should go into the city treasury. Its books should be open to public inspection. An account of all its receipts and expenditures shown and an ndhest and economical conduct of its affairs required. Provision alter a term of yean made for its purchase. I would suggest that the amount received by tbe city for its trie be set aside for Its ultimate purchase and before the expiration of the charter the city might own the plant If legal requirement* forbid that we should own tbs street railway, ws should seek to control those who are permitted to own it The valuable franchises of this city, if properly used, would go fa toward paying all the expenses of the city government. \ I had hoped that with the discussion of this matter previously that we could expect better things of our board of public control, but that ubich the public condemned the Counoil committee for doing is-now proposed by them. Thu proposition is not up with the times; it might have done twenty yean ago, but it wul pot do now. Old fogies must gst to tbs rear; this Is an age o! progress. The principles that public func-

Treatment ot Rebel Prisoners. To the Editor ot The Indianapolis News:
, The rambling, unjust, unkind and unfoD tified memories of Camp Morton, presented by John A. Wyeth, in the April number of tbe Century, brings the old and often refuted story of cruelty and starvation again before the public. The writer has at an-
other time answered these charges, and the
to fuliv refuted that H would no'
Iquarstrug-
have bean so
in any way gratify our ambition to attack so stale an absurdity again. It must have been a great burden to Dn Wyeth to carry
the recollection ot these wrongs a full ter of a century, they all tne
fling tor utterance.
Public sentiment has no con tracts to let for any literature that under-estimates the humanity of oar people, either North or
South, in peace or during the war.
There is no demand for any reading matter that does injustice to any section of our country, any class of okr people; for that olass of writer who would “strain low de-
sire to create unreal want.”
I was surgeon in charge of Burnside Barracks, which joinedwCtmp Morton on As south, and tbs men quartered iu the barracks were the men, who guarded Camp Morton, and are therefore implicated iu the charge of oruelty, which is unquestionably false. I have heard the Union sold ten oofnplaln that the rebels had better grub than they had. J~ W. Hkrvbt.
