The Pacific Railroad has been " writ

long remain an iosxhaustible subject
Primarily, il 10 never to be loss sight Of
that il il the longest chain that vas
ever stretched over desert Interval for
the purpose Of connecting two widely
separated parts of . common civilisa-
ton. II must not be forgotten that
there are fifteen hundred miles Of abso-
luts wilderness between Omaha and the
Sierras. So grand . strike in behalf of
progress and business enterprise sever

This great railway 10 still problem
still an experiment. It's success de-
ponds upon the capacities Of the eoun-
try and people which Constitute the
Pacific States and Territories. Perhaps
the great project would achieve more
immediate and complete triumph If the
broad valleys and gold bearing mosn-
tains Of California were YET unclaimed

tied communities through which the
celebrated railway lines Of the older
States are run. The careful attention
which the Pacific Railroad traveller re-
ceives after entering upon his overland
journey has no emulation among the
curt conductors aud staggering bag
gage s0ashers Of the East. Il suggests
itself that the latter have been abusing
the travelling public 90 long that the
i'll treatment of the ticket holder 10 come
10 be regarded a. . legitimate part Of
he general business of railroading Ger
lain it 10, as any rate, that the Pacific
traveller finds himself con-
,iantly reminded that those who have
charge of his comforts are quite 40
much alive to their duties as the pro-
verbally polite officers Of the ocean
steamship line between New York and
San Fraseisco. None need 60 astr.y.
from conductor to porter. every man in

himself busy in assisting the passengers
