STEEL RAILs.-After careful and pro-
tracted inquiry the authorities of the
Pennsylvania railroad have come to the
conclusion that soft rails wear away
less than hard ones, because the little
particles which rise on the surface of a
steel rail break off under the wheels
when the rail is hard and hammer down
when it is soft.

THE FLIGHT OF HAMMoND.-Senator Ham
mond, recently elected from Ormsby County.
is now on his way to New York on an indeti-
mite leave of absence. The Senate was indul-
gent enough to allow him 10 go without ask
ing for any explanation, and the chances are
that this county will have but one represen-
tatiye i'm the Senate during the rest of the
session. The people of Ormsby elected Mr..
Hammond with the idea that he would re-
main ut his post during the session and per
form the work which the misguided taxpayers
assigned him. lie was not elected to put in
his time in q Methodist. Conference or take
trans-continsnsAI pleasure trips to the Allan
tic sesboard. We would like TO zee Mr..
Hammond make up his mind to either turn
preacher or politician, as his present attempt
to stradds from the pulpit to the legislative
desk is neither satisfactory to his focks or
his constituents. Mr.. Hammond wishes to
share the honors and emoluments of Office
without doing any of the work. When run
ming for Senator he declined to pay the full
amount Of the assessment levied upon him
BY the Central Committee, on the ground that
he was doing a great deal of work for the
party. What work he performed during the
campaign is as yet only matter of the Wild
est conjecture with anyone who knows any
thing about the case. Probably on the same
ground he deserts his post for pleasure trip.
There is strong talk OF petition asking for
his resignation.

CoMpET1r:yE Po1Nrs.-Steve Gage always
has some fixed phrase which he uses every
two years in arguing with members OF the
Legislature. This year it is "competl,lve
points" 1t sounds like catch gag in play,
and reminds one of "Charge it to Buster in
"ForbIdsn Fruit" $50 glad" in "No
Thoroug hfare," or This drink don't count
in Grip Van Wrinkle" 1t is the answer
which Mr.. Gage makes when he is cornered
and is unable to make clear reply to knotty
questions prorounded him. The gist of Mr.
Cages argument is that non-competitive
points have no rights which railroads will re-
spect. Nevada is not a competitive point"
and those who do not wish to be crushed out
of existence by the grinding tariffs Of the G.
p. must move to some other locality.

if you don't want the article, just say so. OF
