From tbs Cincinnati Gdzetta's Ptlarfm.n
Americans arc finally persuaded that their
railway service and their hotcls boat tho world.
Ono OF these, who had just landed from Cunard
steamer, sat down at table In tho Fifth Avenue
Hotol, and calculated In voice for al to hear,
including party Of English: "Thanlt God, I

aot-oif to John Dull'a RupsrtiIious notion OF his
superiority in Ill thinga. But hc hardly knows
what hc Is talking about When he boasts OF his
rai1wny-cnrs. For somehow 1t has boon found
requisite to introduce separation, by tho So
oallod drawing-room csrs, at higher prices. And,
wherevor thoae ars put en-, tho condition and
regulations Of tho regular cars arc nllowod to
ruin down, so as to make tho taking OF tho extra
car nccesaary to docency.,
Thoro Is no reason for this, save separation
Of passengers for the extra oara run no castor,
and Aro no moro comfortable than the regular
cars aro when in good condition. On como,
notoriously on tho Vanderbilt roads, shameful
imposition is usod to dri7o tho passengers to
talo tho extra cars. Whit do NO compare by
,when We boast of our cnrs as superior to tho
English Wo havb abandoned. the American
D5stem which made Ill clrs equally good, and
had no separation Of classss. We hayo now first
