Piggish perversity was strikingly ex-
emplified in the recent wreck Of the
Kaiorama off the coast of California. On
board of the vessel were 500 hogs con-
signed to a Mr., Farley, of Los Nietos.
The officers, anxious to save the poor
hogs from a watery grave, or rather with
a due sense of the commercial value of
bacon, drove them out on the shore side,
and endeavored to make them swim to-
wards the beach. That was enough for
the pokers The great mass of them de-
liberately turned and swan out, and,
through their hoggish obstinacy, were
drowned

CoURIER-JoURNAL; The same clap-trap
which was employed in electing Grant is
reproduced by the Republican journals
to shield the rascally officials who are
now in danger of punishment, and to re-
elect another incompetent and dishonest
administration. Their cue is to whine
about calumny and detraction. as often
as a theft is discovered, and to appeal to
the sympathies of such of their readers
as are stupid enough to take in whatever
is written in behalf of member of the
party. Here is sample of the campaign
whine-the same drivel that was used so
effectively in 1872:
L" 1t is easy to see that the coming sum-
mer and fall will witness an era of detrac-
ton and calamny in this country, such as
was never before witnessed by the Ameri-
can citizens. 1t has been deliberately and
Systematically arranged by the Demo-
cratic leaders with the sole aim of secur-
ing political victory"

EDUCATION. - An ancieut physician,
when asked his opinion as to the time
when child's education should be COM
menced, replied" Begin twenty years
before he is born by training his mother" !"
The old doctor was right. The best in
heritance boy can have is a sensible
mother. Unless a child is possessed of
a very peculiar disposition, his mother
can make him anything she pleases. A
mother should aim to lift her children
to higher plane than her own, by giving
them more healthful bodies, wider and
more systematic education, and higher
sense of moral responsibility. To accom-
plish this she must egin when they are
very young, and make them, so far as she
can, acquainted with the world of nature
around them, and always meet their
curiosity and developed thoughtfulness
with sympathy and attentive respect. By
this means her higher aim to cultivate
their moral and intellectual nature will
be greatly assisted.

THE THURMAN STORY,
Judge Baker Declares it All False.

st. Louis, March 2S.-The Times to-
morrow will publish an interview with
Judge Baker, attorney of the Atlantic q
Pacific Railroad, in relation to the story
recently circulated, stating that Senator
Thurman, of Ohio, was the paid agent OF
that road, and that his influence and vote
in favor of the passage ofbills before Con-
gress in 1928, giving that road immense
land grants in he Indian Territory, had
been purchased by certain share OF the
proceeds of the sale of these lands. Judge
Baker stated that the Atlantic q Pacific
Company never had two bills before Con
gress. They did, however, favor the bill
changing the name of the Indian Terri
tory; but Mr.. Thurman was opposed to
them and fought the bill from first to
last. Baker attended to this matter him
self, Mr.. Coffin never having had any
thing to do with it, and he (Baker) re-
mained in Washington in this business
until legal complications here brought
him home. Baker is very emphatic in
saying Thurman never in any manner
had any connection with the Atlantic u
Pacific Road and was never consulted
about its affairs. The man who started
this report, Baker says, is named Wood
ward. He represented himself as a news
paper correspondent, and procured a
pass to Jefferson City, and that is the
only transaction he ever had with the
road. His story of being confidential
agent of the company is, therefore, a
fabrication as we'll as all his other state
ments

H. " Redfeld the well known correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial, writes as follows to
his paper;
THE, RAILROADS AND THE CENTENNIAL.
The trunk lines are not coming up to popular
expectations in their reductions of fare for the
Centennial Somehow the plain people had got
II into their heads that half fare rates would be
the rule for the great occasion. But itseems that
only twenty-five per cent. reductions are to be
made. This will havea sad effect upon the sue
cess of the enterprise From the South at least not
oue.half as many viii attend as would if the rate
was half fare In summer nearly all the main
lines in the United States have half fare rates to
watering places, and the like, and the roads find
that it pays. Consequently it is on the increase
every year Now of all times in the world when
there should be halffare the people are presented
with a reduction of twenty-five per cent. This
y i'll tempt few If there is any reduction at all
it toughtto be something captivating. Twenty five
per cent will not tempt the riCh for they will go
anyway, but comparatively this is not numer
Gus class, The great body of the plain people is
what needs to be reached, Twenty-Five per cent
reduction will not reach them. Itwould be better
for the roads to have no special rates at all if they
go attwenty-fve per cent, reduction would go any
way.
have read the address of W. B. Shattuc, of Gin
cinnaH, before the General Ticket Agents Con-
vention at Louisville, He said the right thing in
the right way at the right time. There is whole
some flavor of independence running through it,
too. If the other end of the Atlantic and Great
Western Railroad was in Philadelphia, Shattuc
would move the whole West there with neatness
and dispatch, and at such rates that the Grangers
would yell with delight. This might provoke
another railroad war, such as we usually have
during the summer months, but Shatluc enjoys a
war Ofthat sort. Like Governor Allen, he fattens
on fight
By the way, Grangers, if the railroads put the
Centennial out of your reach as a body, you can
go to Lake Chautauqua, where the bass bite beaui-
fully, and the balmy breezes blow over the blue
waters, (See advertisements

its patriotism and love for the soldier one
of the prominent reasons why it should
be continued in power. 1t has always re-
solved in convention as the only friend

others; as possessing true patriotism. The
following list of prices charged the SOL
