AMERICAN RAILROADS AND NEWS
PAPERS,.
George Augustus sala Declares They Are the
Best in the World.

From an interview in the San Francisco
Chroniclel
II consider that American railroad travel
ing is now SO wonderfully comfortable that
to their minimum. 1t Is all the more re-
markable becauae the change for the better
has been wrought In so short time, for
when last in America during the time OF the
war; the carriages were low and stuffy, the
apologies for sleeping cars full Of dirt and
tieas, and everything calculated to make
ones life on the railway as miserable as
riding rail. In the hotel car which brought
us from Chicago to Omaha we were as comfort
able as though reading the Sentimental Jour
ney in the best London club rooms, instead
Of making practical journey some thou
sands Of miles long. This side OF Omaha we
have been nearly as comfortable but In point
of attendance and accommodation the Union
tral. Besides" continued Mr.. Sala, conf
dentially, "a colored gentleman with bur
lesque musical leanings, although he would
certainly form a valuable acquisition to a
minstrel party would not be my choice for
Compared with the European railways,
how do thsoe OF America standY"
"Oh, to the fmmeasurable advantage OF
those Of America" replied Sala. ut would
be impossible to make the journey we have
the termini of this trip-it would be impossi-
BILE to make such trip In Europe without
being fatigued into utter helplessness, whilst
now we feel that a bath will render us as MINI
BILE and lively as could be expected OF two
people who have only an uncertain number OF
years to live"
The entrance Of a newsboy turned the con-
versation upon newspapers. Asked his
opinion upon American journals, MI. Sala
said: in their manner OF succinctly present.

people are, this persistent attack on cher

times attained Its result, and Fleet street is
now clear.
"In America this monthly attack made in

RUyORS or CENSUS FRAUDS.

Rumors ere in circulation that the census
work in the South has not been honestly DONE
and that the mora tors, most of whom are
Democrats appointed Oh the Recommendation
of Democratic congressman, have systemau-
caly inflated their returns to make
the population greater than it Is. IL
this is the case, the fraud has
been committed for a political purpose
With d fair enumeration the South Will iney-
itably lose portion of its present power IN
Congress and in Presidential elections by rea-
son of the great growth of the West during
the last decade. Southern politicians are dis
tlesscd at this prospect. They know that thls
is their last chance for getting controi
of the Government through an alliance
with the Northern Democracy, because under
a new apportonment the Republican west
will outweigh their section, no matter no"
solid they may keep it. Can it he possible
that there is scheme on foot for applying
the Alabama system of false counts at cleo
tons to the census ?
Il is said that Kentucky reports as great an
increase of population since 1870 as Mlch'-

familiar with the two States knows that
Kentucky has received very little immigra-

has been settled since 1870, whereas the
whole northern half of the lower peninsula
Of Michigan has filed up of late with farmers
from the older States and from Europe.
Hundreds of new villages have sprung up
there, ard vast districts which were covered
with ulbr0ken forests ten years ago
have now stable, prosperous population.

stands his work thoroughly, will be likely to
find way of discovering and arTesiing frauds

conducting n scientific experiment IN an I'M
scientific way. The few observations mat
were made were of the simplest nature, relating
mainly to weight. pulse, and temperature, yet
were taken with so little regularity ana so
carelessly as to be of slight scientific value.
The Weighing was Tnexact ard the Pulse WAS
counted at various hours Of the day. Ihe TEN
perature of the pitient was the most astonishing
feature of Inc fast, for the minimum during the
forty DAYS was ninety eight degrees, IN 'he
face of Chossat's conclusion, based upon an
elaborate series of experiments, that DEAN
from starvation is caused by decline OF amman
heat. Unfortunately, the temperature In TINS
case was not taken at the same hour nor inynri-
ably in the same way although the thermometer
was uniformly placed under the tongue. The
meaereness of the results Is mainly due to the
crude and haphazard manner IN when the case
was watched and studied. 1t is melancholy to
reflect that D human being should have under
gone such agonzing suffering and displayed
such magnificent grit without accomplishing
any useful purpose
