traces Of lis German decent. He is very tall

about the public watingronm, in familiar
conversation with an aide.decamp, causing

the fact of the most productive acre Of cab

THE RAILWAYS, THE PRESS, AND

Since the late reforms in railway manage

ride at somebody's else cost, there has been
considerable hue and cry in different part, of
the country against the managers. We are
somewhat surprised at this, and more sur.
prsed, too, that any respectable newspaper
should join in this crusade against reform

most gigantic evil Newspaper editors have
proIiied the least from the free pass system,
and as they had, untruly, to bear the stigma

some editors are satisfied with the new order
of things, and copy below portion Of an ar.

become giant and crying evil. OF these

Cultivator. True, in the days of free passes
we enjoyed a large liberty. for which we were
very grateful, but saw too clearly the Justice
OF the reform, to complain when they were

railroads. This is mistake. Since the en-
piratlon of our passes of 1854, we have paid
for every mile that we have travelled.
But we have larger view of this subject
than our own personal convenience. When
our farmers can send fat bullock from the
Scioto Valley to New York, in four days, ut
