The Good Eject of Competition.
SAN FRANcIsco, October ia
BElletm special, quoting from the New
y York Times, says: Nothing more anti
quated and shabby in the way of rail
road coaches can be found than those in
use on the Central Pacific road The
directors and their friends may travel in
rolling palaces, but the general public
must be transported in antique arks of
pattern unknown and unused by any
other line, in which it is not possible to
read print by the railway tapers' feeble
rays. Since the Northern Pacific line,
with its modern coaches and appliances,
has beea opened, there is an industri-
ously y-circulated pleasing rumor that the
Central Pacific road is to be equipped
with new and commodious parlor and
sleeping cars. That is what competition
does for trans-continental travel"
