The iast mail trains between New
York and Chicago have been revived.
These trains were run regularly few
years ago, and made a difference of
about twenty four hours between New
York and San Francisco. The trains
were abandoned by order of the Post
Office Department, when the appropria-
ton made by Congress for testing their
efficiency was expended. This train
has revived the discussion of the com
parative speed of American and Euro
pean trains. A fast train was recently
started on the Great Northern Railway
between London and Leeds, England,
and averages 40 miles an hour, includ-
ing stoppages. The London Times
says this train is the fastest i'll the
world, the next being the "Flying
Dutchman," which makes the trip from
London to Exeter, 1874 miles. in four
hours and quarter. Next to that is
tac "Wild Irishrnan," that runs from
Euston to Holyhead, 264 miles, in six
hours and thirty.iive minutes.
The New York papers question the
accuracy of the assertion of the London
Times, that the English trains are the
fastest in the world, and state that a

The Springfield, Massachusetts, Re-
publican prides itself on its indepen-
dence in political matters. 1t is, pend
ing an investigation of Garheld's record
on the Credit Mobilier and DeGolyer
Jobs, in favor of his election, but it does
not like Arthur. 1t says: "Mr. Eng
lish, of Indiana, has been out OF poll
tics ever since the beginning OF the
civil war, but he decidedly outweighs
the Republican candidate for Vice
President as statesman. Mr.. Arthur
has done nothing to justify expectation
of any service in that direction. Eng
lish, on the contrary, did great deal
during his Congressional career. and
his course in regard to the Kansas
trouble was, for Democrat, highly
creditable. The two men are very
nearly of an age, and English's years OF
retirement are better capital than Ar
thurs active work as Conkling hench-
man."

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.


tors and rabid newspapers have no valid
reason to advance against the election
Of the Union soldier, General Hancock,
TO the Presidency, they resort to dema-
gogism and raise the bloody shirt.
Like the Inatadore, who enters the
arena at bull fight, they faunt the
red flag in the faces of the people until
they fancy chat like so many bulls they
are bereft of all sense and reason, and
incapable Of thinking for themselves and
are advised what to do by the ''patri-
otto" orator or paper. Then they are
told that the South is solid against the
Union, and, while holding up their
hands in holy horror at the atrocity,
counsel the people Of the North to pur-
cue exactly the same course which they
condemn the South for. Although
over fifteen years have rolled by since
the rebellion was ended, they would
revive the prejudices which existed
during the war, and while pretending
to be devotedly attached to the Union,
would have the North and South ar
rayed against each other at the ballot
box, and the campaign decided on i'm
aginary sectional issues. They profess
to believe, and endeavor to impress the
belief ON the minds of the northern
people, that the Republicans have not
the remotest hope of carrying south
crn State, because Of Democratic bull
DOING and intimidation, but they never
allude to the fact that the Democrats
are in as hopeless minority in Yer
mont and Iowa as the Republicans ale
in Kentucky and Georgia.
There is quite difference, however,
between the expressed opinions of the
northern bloody-shirt orators and edi-
tors, who know absolutely nothing of
the real condition OF affairs in the South,
except what they learn from the garbled
reports OF the Associated Press, and the
white Republicans who live in that Sec
ton. At recent meeting of the Re-
publican National Executive Committee
in New York City, Mr.. Canaday, of
North Carolina, said there was not the
slightest doubt that the Republicans
would carry that State. He said the
leaders of the Republican party in North
Carolina were men of wealth and intel
igence, who owned banks and railroads,
and in these respects unlike the Repub-
licans of many Of the southern States.
Mr. Hicks of Florida asserted that his
State, with reasonable assistance in the
way Of northern speakers, would GER
tainly go Republican.
These gentlemen did not intimate
that Republicans were bulldozed in
their respective States, or denied the
privilege of going to the polls and vot-
ing as they pleased, yet the speakers
and newspapers Of the North assert the
contrary This is not the result of an
honest difference of opinion. Canaday
and Hicks, who reside in the South,
p.esumeably knew what they were
talking about, and prove conclusively
that the editors of the ''sectiona"
papers in Nevada and other northern
States do not, and that there object is
to create a prejudice in the minds of
their readers which will influence their
votes.

Another Suicide.

"Wednesday morning about o'clock one
of the city butchers, conducting his BUSH
ness on East Pecan street just this side of
NJ. Paggi's carriage repository, entered
his shop and repairing to the back room
noticed something wrong with Mr.. j. W.
Lane, who sold vegetables in the market
and occupied the room for sleeping pur-
poses. He attempted to rouse him up and
partially succeeded. He mentioned the
fact to persons visiting the market that
Mr.. Lane seemed TO be under the infiu-
ence of a narcotic. Several of them went
back into the room and attempted to re-
vive Mr.. Lane, and succeeded 80 far as to
get him to stand up and move around.
He was rational, and when asked if he
had taken anything to make him sleep
said "no" and laid down upon the bed
and again dropped of to sleep. DIR. Stall
maker was called and, examining the
sleeping man, gave it as his opinion that
he was under the influence of powerful
drug. All attempts to arouse him proved
futile, and about IL o'clock yesterday
morning died. Tuesday evening Mr..
Lane appeared respondent and stated to
friend he "never felt so blue in his
life." He was driver for the street car
company for long time, but for the past
two or three months has been selling veg
etabIes. He has had some serious family
difficulties, and the opinion prevails that
he took morphine forthe purpose of end
ing his Life. An inquest was held by

WE learn the following from an ex-
change, which will be. interesting TO
stockmen of this section: "The cattle
drive win not reach one-third the number
of cattle which would have been driven
up from Texas but for the drouth. The
drive will be limited almost wholly to
contractors which had TO be delivered
The drive for the season is now placed at

able Il would have been fully 100000
head. OF course this falling of Is dis
appointment mot only to cattlemen, but
likewise TO the people of 0galalla. who
had made preparations for big drive.
Twelve herds of about AZ, 900 head of the
Texas drive have reached Ogalalla up TO
last Saturday. The following prices have
prevailed: Yearlings Is 80. two-year-old
cows $12 80. three-year-old steers S24,
beeves $40 80. This is little lower than
last year. The buyers have been for the
most part small. buying from 100 TO 1900
head. The condition of through cattle.
notwithstanding the drouth, is better
than that OF last year. Two hum
dred and thirty thousand head of Texas
cattle that were headed for Nebras-
ka in the early part of the season were
stopped IN the Indian Territory, where
they are held for market. The Indian
council for the territory passed \ law last
, winter permitting cattle belonging to
white men 10 be herded within the terri
tory al i've cents per month, or fifty cents
per year. This measure was adopted
more ss means OF protection for the In
dams than through any desire to accom-
modate white men. The Indians found
IL impossible TO keep the white men from
eneroaehing on their lands, and they wise
" made virtue OF necessity and passed
this law regulating the matter and max

that the grazing thrown open BY this act
OF the Indian council Is the finest IN the
