G. A. Sala on American Railroads
and Newspapers.
[San Francisco Chronicle

poaii rNduciSco Onroniclel
II consider that American railroad travelling
is now so wonderfully comfortable that the in
conveniences have been brought down to their
minimum. 1t is all the more remarkable be-
cause the change for the better has been
wrought in so short time, for when last in
America during the time of the war; the car
rlages were low and stuffy, the apologies for
sleeping cars full of dirt and fees, and every
thing calculated to make ones life on the rail-
way as miserable as riding a rail. In the
hotel car which brought us from Chicago to
Omaha we were as comfortable as though read
ing the Sentimental Journey in the best LON
don club rooms Instead of making practical
journey some thousands of miles long. This
side of Omaha we have been nearly as COM
Portable, but, in point of attendance and ac-
commodation, the Union Pacific has sliebt
advantage over the Central. Besides" con-
tinued Mr.. Sala, confdentially, "a colored
gentleman, with burlesque musical leanings.
although he would certainly form a valuable
acquisition to minstrel party, would not be
my choice for railway attendant"
Compared with the European railways,
how do those of America stand?'
"Oh, to the immeasurable ADVANTAGE of
those of America" replied Mr.. Sala. at
would be impossible to make the tourney wa
have made, for San Francisco and New Or
leans are the termini of this trip-it would be
impossible to make such trip in Europe with
out being fatigued into utter helpiessness,
whilst now we feel that a bath will render us
as nimble and lively as could be expected of
two people who have only an uncertain num-
ber of years to live"

Pitchers Castorin especially adapted to
children. When the child has health the mother
ean rest. Castoria is vegetable substitute for
nauseous Castor Oil, and the deleterious narcotic
Syrups sometimes used. Containing noithor min
eral, morphine or alcohol it has received the endors
ment of physicians and its sale is constantly and
rapidly increasing. 1t seems to be natures REM
edy for assimilating the food in the stomach,
causing proper digestion and preventing sour
curd, vomiting, wind-colic and diarrhea. This
gives natural sleep. Castoria is not narcotic
1t is as pleasant to take as honey. 1t relieves the
stomach and destroys worms. 1t allays fever and
very eficacious for Group. Every mother should
have it. Babies cry and grow fat upon Castoria.

THE idea of connecting the Baltic with
the North Sea by canal has of late been
again much discussed in Germany. A
canal would shorten the voyage of vessels
sailing from the estuary of the Elbe or We
ser by 3S7 miles. Consequently, steamers
using the proposed canal would save from
21 to 4S hours, and sailing vessels probably
at least a week.

PRESIDENT ANGEL of Michigan Univer-
ty goes to China for the purpose of negotiat-
ing new treaty with that Empire. The
Seward treaty, upon which the present min
lister has been engaged so long, does not meet
with the approval of the State Department,
as it places no material restrictions on Chi
nese immigration. The mission was offered
to President Angel, but he preferred to re-
tain his connection with the University. He
has, however, consented to go to China long
enough to frame a new emigration treaty.
1t is thought this will not require more than
year.

The telegraphic despatch announcing the
decision of the United States Supreme Court
in regard to the taxation of national bank
stock, was so general in its statement of the
case as to convey the idea that the decision
is applicable to all the States. That is not
SO. The question just determined arose
under the New York law, and the decision
only holds good in those States which have
similar statutes respecting the taxation of
personal property. The taxation OF natIon-
al bank stock in Maine as in the rest of New
England is legal and not subject to the OBJ
jections made in the cause which the Court
had under consideration. The banks here
render an account to city and town assess
ors of the property held by shareholders, and
the tax is assessed thereon, as on other
personal property.

The Deputy Marshals,

Democratic journals, and some of those
whose professions are Republican, grossly
misrepresent Gen. Garfeld's action on the
little deficiency bill. They picture him as
supporting the amendment, as further
amended by Mr.. Springer, that was offered
and pressed to debate in the House. A
glance at the Congressional Record shows
that but one Republican, and he from Massa-
chusetts, voted for the amended bill. Gen.
Garfield expressed himself as willing to
agree to any modification of the election
laws that would do away with proved
abuses, but he consistently opposed the in
PRODUCTION OF riders upon appropriation
bills. In this he was sustained by the Re
publican minority. The amendment sup
ported by the Democrats and carried by
them through the House gave up the imme-
diate point at dispute,-the pay of the
special deputy marshals,-but recognized
the very point upon which the fight of the
extra session was made, the right to attach
political legislation TO bills providing for the
ordinary expenses of government service.
The amendment is in effect a threat that the
executive shall be deprived of the power to
execute existing laws unless it consent to an
essential modification of those laws-a mod
ification brought about in an unusual and
illegal way, not by repeal but by nullifica-
ton. If there be reasonable objection to
these laws they should be stricken from the
statute book. But as long as they are there
they should be observed, and it is the duty
of Congress to provide ways and means for
their execution.
The proposal to appoint the deputy mar
shals from each political party is as fair as
the demand of the Democratic Senators that
one half of the census supervisors in each
State should be Democrats. Both demands
are plausible, and neither is founded upon
precedent or reason.
