Had any one predicted, at the birth of
the republic, that in the centennial year
the facilities for travel would be such that
the continent from the Atlantic to the
Pacific could be crossed inside of four DAYS.
the prophecy would have been treated as
rank lunacy. Such prediction made
but a dozen Of years ago would have been
regarded as hardly less insane. Even as
late as three months ago no one dreamed
Of attempting the experiment. and yet, at
this writing, the extraordinary feat is ac
comprising.
SPLENDID ROAD.
The accomplishment of this most wond-
erful of railroad feats marks an era in the
railroad history of the world, and is sort
of defiance to England, where remarkable
time has always been spoken of in connec-
ton with the great roads. 1t is just posi-
bic that it will be some time before any
old country road can make run OF 444
miles, with heavy train, drawn by one
engine, without a stop for coal or water,
il the unprecedented time of 10 hours.
The run from Pittsburgh to this city is
even more remarkable when it is known
that the train was compelled to make "a
stops at crossings 10 accordance with law.
| The great feat shows to what perfection
the equipment and road bed of the Penn
| sylyania line has been brought. 1t has
shown the entire ability of the line to
make schedule of time, faster than ever
known before, covering in all direct run
of "a hours, and more than carrying it out
to the minute, without delay of any
character, and this without any of the
additional precaution and care which il
given to the running of all its trains
Safety in railroad travel under such cir
| cumstances has been approached as neal
as science and moneyed outlay can secure
lit. The efforts of the managers of this
road have always tended to make 1t tht
popular route for passenger travel, and ii
addition to the natural attractions of The
line in its scenery, every appliance dis
lowered for the comfort and pleasure o
the travelling public has ben secured. Al
indication of this is seen in the recen
addition to their equipment of eight mag
nifcent dining cars of the Pullman patent
which are superior in finish aud accommo
dation to any coach of the pattern made
Each is provided with twelve 42-incl

A Prophecy by Carl Shurz.

From Letter in the N. Y. Stats Zeitung July 26
Twill hazard a prophecy as to what the flu
1urc has in store for us. l should not dare to
promise the people an ideal political situation
ii Mr.. Hayes be elected; but as regards the
three points which the address of the
May conference touched upon, the following
appears to me as sure as anything one can ev-
'er count upon in the future /: III The applica-
ton of the whole Constitutional power of the
Executive to secure prompt resumption of
specie payments, and apparently an agreeable
majority in Congress. ri A wedding out of
bad officers, and consequent carrying through
of his programme of civil service reform on the
part of the Presdent,as far as his constitution
al powers will permit him. The employment
lin the public service OF not one more party
agent. The abolition of the booty system. OPP
position to these reforms on the part of the
booty politicians in Congress. The overthrow
of this opposition at the next Congressional
elections. [3l An Intelligent execution of the
laws, joined with just, conciliatory. and hon
Orable policy toward the people of the South.
In the event of Democratic victory m A
soft-money majority in the House of Represen-
tatives Efforts on the part of the President
IN behalf of resumption of specie payments,
which are ruined by the majority in the House
OF Representatives. A continuation of our I'M
certain financial position for an indefinite
length of time. In case of the succession of
MIR. Hendricks to the Presidency, universal
confusion and revival of the inflationists'
plans. q The wedding out of the bad officers,
but also of the good ones. A tremendous irresist-
able rush of office seekers from the South and
North to divide the booty. A substantial cor
tinuance of the booty system and the civil ser
vice as party machinery, and all the demorali-
cation which would flow from that sllndry eff
forts in the right direction, borne down by the
pressure of partisan interest from all sides.
~ The rousing of false hopes among the
lawess element in the South by their party
victory, and the increase of terrible excuses
and reactionary efforts in spite of the desire of
the government and of the better part of the
Southern people to suppress such disorders.
This is my view of what would result from
the triumph Of one or the other party. You
may hold different view; time will tell which
OF us is right. May the sequel not prove inju
rious to the public veal
Very respectfully yours. C. SCHURz.
