MAN ABOUT TOWN.

Seperintendent Jeff era has promised the Detroit people that he will be on hand again this year to superintend the preparation of the track for the July trotting meeting. The Detroit newspapers in announcing the fact that his services have been secured refer to him as "Old Jeff" and take it for granted that the track will be faster than any other track in the country.

Most persons suppose that Colonel Thompson got his title while serving as Provost Marshal during the war. Hesays he w»is a "colonel" long before the war, receiving the title when he was on the staff of Governor Noble. In his early manhood Colonel Thompson was captain of a company of dragoons in the state "muster" or militia of those days. As provost marshal he held the rank of Colonel but Governor Morton in appointing him commandant of Camp Dick Thompson here where he raised several regiments specifically gave him the title of colonel. Mr. Debs says that on his recent trip in the south he was frequently called ''Colonel" Debs.

A few days ago the St. Louis newspapers prt'vailel upon the Wabash road to put on an early morning newspaper train. Some years ago the Ciiicago papers inaugurated the early morning fast mail service. Gresham was then postmaster general and he made the contracts with the railroads. Ostensibly it. was for the benefit of the business man. It was represented that his mail would reach its destination earlier, which was nonsense because •&e business man's mail is in the posty^e by p. m. and departs on evening trains. The 3 a. m. nail was for the benefit, of the {wipers and they repaid Gresham ». Well, the St. Iiouis papers are ^ginning to nse special fast mail

They wanted to get up along the "ash by breakfast time. They did so 'but the Chicago publishers were alert and by readjusting the schedule of the Illinois Central fast mail out of Chicago connection was made with the St. Louis papers' train with the result that- the Chicago papers are in the Wabash river valley territory anywhere from one to three hours earlier, thanks to their St. Louis competitors. Heretofore the Chicago wipers arrived here lit It a, m. now they come

The truth about the telephone situation the apparently top-heavy organization in is that the action of the council last De cember in laying the People's ordinance on the table, virtually deprived Terre Haute of lower rates for telephone service. No doubt the seventeen councilmen who knocked Mr. Havens down and trampled on him, figuratively speaking, last Tuesday will seek to vindicate the .course of the council by Baying there was no substantial company back of

Mr. Havens, but the truth is the council last December, with malice aforethought, killed the prospect of a competing company. At that time the People's company undoubtedly was In earnest and would have entered the field had the council broken away from the machinations of a paid lobby employed by the Bell monopoly. One of the stockholders in the People's company told me this week that the delay enabled the old company to reconstruct its plant and to do so in such a manner that it would now be much more costly and dillicuit for a competing company to enter the field. I asked a Bell man about this and he gave me to understand that there was a good deal in the point. Mr. Knight, of Lafayette, is the little joker in the game nflw. He is president of the Indiana Harrison Telephone Construction Company, and he is said to be trying to organize a company with local capital to put in an exchange. That he will succeed is most improbable but the promise of a competiug company will help the council out in the campaign this spring.

The Fair Association has offered $5,000 in purses, or guaranteed stakes, for three day's racing during fair week in the middle of August. The association has dropped the credit plan of receiving entries. Thu entries must be made by June 1, and 2 per cent, of the amount of the purse must accompany the entry. C. W. Willifltmrf, the Axtell niati, wlio is now at (tales-" burg, started the credit system which nearly all the associations adopted last year. But, he has not only gone back to thecash basis, but has increased the amount of the entrance fee. A few days ago thy Galesburg, Joliet and other associations up that way, formed a circuit and agreed to charge a 10 per cent, entrance fee, 5 per cent, of it to be paid when the entries are sent in.

The Indianapolis Democratic city administration is pursuing a policy of protection such as advocated by protective tariff Republicans. It is to encourage the establishment of home industries. The board of public works offers to improve streets, extend water mains and do almost everything except erect the buildings for industries if they will locate in Indianapolis. It is, in short, the use of public revenue collected from all the people to encourage home industries and no doubt the members of this same Taggart administration have been in habit of referring to alike policy in national affairs as being robbery of some of the people for the benefit of others. It is nearly always true that the free trader as to national affairs is a protectionist in his immediate home affairs. He will want a city council to pass a high license ordinance against the farmer butcher who would sell his meat from house to house. This Would protect the city butcher, but when it comes to considering his country as he does his city he cries out against building walls around the country.

The disquieting stories about Vandalia changes are increasing as the Pennsylvania people issue new orders. It is now generally understood that General Manager Turner is to move to St. Louis and that Superintendent Miller of the main line will move his headquarters from St. Louis to this city. A Vandalia official called attention to one peculiar feature of the Pennsylvania management which has escaped public comment. It is

the operating department. There are more officials than other systems have for the same service. Of course there are far more than there used to be under the old Van management. The "Peun" idea idea is to operate the road as cheaply as possible and at the same time render the best service. Each division superintendent has as big a force under him as thtf general superintendent used to have. The "Penn" policy is to have the very best roadbed, and best engines and equipment and by rendering the best service catch the business. It is held that while there is apparently a top-heavy and expensive organization yet it effects economy. First-class men in the top places results in a net saving in the operating expenses. The roadbed is kept so that an engine can haul more cars of freight and the engine is of the character that can earn more money for the company.

The state officers of the Travelers' Protective Association sent a petition to the Central Traffic association this week asking that the interchangeable mileage books be generally restored to use. The Iowa state association of the T. P. A. took like action. It is thought to be doubtful If the big systems will return to the interchangeable books. Not to speak of the abuse of the interchangeable privilege there is another reason why the big systems want to do away with it. The small and irresponsible company issues interchangeable books which carry the purchaser over such a road as the Pennsylvania. When the Pennsylvania sends in its account for this business at the end of the month it does not get its money and in some cases it may be many months before the Pennsylvania receives its pay for carrying the passengers. On the other hand if the Pennsylvania issues interchangeable bookfethe other road gets its money promptly. Suppose, for instance, the Indiana & Illinois Southern, the road that makes a pretense of running from Switz City to Effiingliam, should issue books good over the Vandalia. The Vandala would carry the passengers and perhaps whistle for its money. As a ticket broker said the other day, the big companies are sure to get the worst of it. There is still another reason why the systems which run through Ohio do uot want to continue the practice. The interchangeable book had become nearly universal in that state and virtually established a rate of 2 cents per mile. The people were beginning to ask if it would not be a good idea to have a state law providing that the fare on all roads should be 2 cents a mile. If such a measure should be brought before the legislature the railroads would be more or less estopped from opposing it because they would be met with the statement that they, had been carrying passengers very generally for 2 cents a mile. As to abuse of the privilege it issaid that Indianapolis was preeminent. If a man applied to a ticket broker for a ticket to a place one hundred miles away and did not have the money, or did not want to pay for a book with five hundred miles of unused slip in it, the broker would tear out. one hundred miles and going to the office of the road get an ordinary passenger ticket. After awhile it became a custom for others than ticket brokers to do this. Men in the wholesale houses would do it for their out of town custom-

The talk of the Democratic local leaders about Ben Havens that he has been an office holder and that he left the Democratic party because he could not get another office suggests the story of the Democrat who explained the defeat of his party in this state some years ago. "Damn 'em," Staid he, "t hey bought us." If Havens has beeu holding offices Democrats must haw considered him entitled to the prefer ment. If, as they now say, he has only been retained in the party by the gift of offices they must have thbught it worth while to keep him. And, by the way, it does not come with good grace from the Democrats who dictate the party action here to criticise a man on the score of office holding. If the remark that "the Democratic party is an organised appetite
