FEDERAL INTERFERENCE.

The late scare in the West on the subject Of
the Communists and Socialists appears to
have thoroughly alarmed the railroads. The
experience of last summer taught these cor
porations how easily railroad strike can be
inaugurated and how much injury it can do
the road. If there is any outbreak or strike
the railroads will be among the heaviest suf-
ferers and victims by it. Foreseeing, there
fore, the possibility of serious labor
troubles during the coming summer and fall,
the railroads are already in the field and pre-
pairing against them. The directors of the
Chicago roads, for instance held a con-
ference in Chicago the other day, and
authorized one c. G. Bonney, law
yer OF that city to draw up bill for the
better protection of the roads In the event of
a strike, which bill is to be submitted to Con-
gress at once. The title Of the bill is IAN act
for the protection Of commerce among the
States" The principles it enunciates can be
easily imagined. After reciting that the rail
roads are public highways of the United

TO SUMNER TOURISTS.

The great Jackson Route offers the greatest
Inducements to Eastern and European trav-
elers this season. 1t should be known to all
that this line has been immensely improved
during the past year. 1t has, in fact, been al
most entirely rebuilt. 1t now has fine steel
rail track, laid upon new ties and an excellent
road-bed. This enables it to make as fast
time as any line to New York with entire
safety and without the appearance of rapid
running, its connections from Cincinnati and
Chicago being among the finest roads in the
world. Attention is especially called to the fact
that the Jackson Route runs two daily trains
to New York and all the principal Eastern and
Northern cities. The train leaving at s p. m
one hour later than any other line makes ex-
actly the same time to New York as it's
quickest rival; and the 7 a. m. train makes
one and a half hour quicker time to New
York than any other train from New Orleans
There are no through cars to NeW York by any
line. The Jackson Route has but one change
of cars, which is made in Union depot, Gin
cinnati, at 5 O. m.
Passengers direct to New York by the Jack
son Route pass through the splendid scenery
and cool air of the Allegheny Mountains Those
going by Chicago pass by daylight In full
view of Niagara Falls, and also have but one
change of cars from New Orleans to New
York.
