A Wi&o Range of Psychologist Con

A TEi&o Range of Psychologist Com
VersatiOn!
! The independent way thai Mr.. Train discusses
all subjects makes him 4 Big BJnanza to the in
! terviewer who is so fortuuat6aS to fad ,hiHs in a
Communicative mool! Th&rc is probably no
man to-day that has as large a combination Of
experiences in shipping! railroading banking !
commerce! the building of towns the Organz-
ing of mercantile associations! in travel the
knowledge of books, aud thirdly, Of mankind-
or as apublic lccturer."and having tired Of that
the on4y way to get his views is by putting his
conversation in type. No other tailer bOiis
down so much in as little space, and VIC follow
as close as possible his epigram conversation.
When we told him we WAS about launching u
paper he rescnded his percmptory refusal to
talk with us, and said, "talle ont Your note
book aud be sure and not make snipe shot out
Of my Carver rifle bal,s!"
THE DOWNFALL OF KEARHEY Is TO sTOr CALLING
NAMES 1.-THE coLLAPsERF Lawyers!
Reportcr-DO you believe in the Kearney cry
for the workingmcn, "P0ol your issues?"
Mr.. Train---Why have they not the same right
to pool that Bennett has to polo? Vanderbilt to
pool his receipts! Beecher to pool his Titon!
Grant t, POOL his Third Term Ring The Kinsel

Hayes-ism! suggested TO Kearrcy new cry,
"Pool your thieves" and i;Isten the stigma upon
the Congressional Faro Bank, RumShop and Ma.
tional Rat Pit! The coppop-clppers are in Il
pool and their issues demand grecnbacks! while
demanding gold for boads---to buy silver at a
discount to. pay debts at a premium. Hard
money, says Hayes, gives vitality to trade. We
have had two years Of it, 'but where is the vital
ity2 Excess of exports over imports says the
Government denotes good times! Exactly such
is now the fact, but where is the prosperity!
Reporter How do you stand OIL strikes!
Mr. Traiu...When did you ever know the time
that was not with the strikers? was with the
Barons at Rumimedc Magma Charter Bunker
Hill and Yotktown! l struck my nurse when
she put a siX-loot dress on two-foot baby! /
struck the Doctor for pouring poison down my
throat when three years old! and 1 have been
Striking shamS ever since when found chance.
Although strikers always get struck, like to
see them strike, as il knocks some ideas through
their thick skulls-stunted with tobacco and
dcadened by alcohol and poisoned by meat
Every strike makes their chains more secure
The time to strike is when the times are good,
not bad! Why don't somebody remind the R.R.
that they have reduced their wages
onc-lIalt in ten years, but have never reduced
their fares! Why not make them put their
tickets at three cents in accordance.
Rcporter-Do You endorse Keariey's raid on {
awyers for egislators? /
Mr.. Train-MoSt assuredly! They make laws
