WASHINGTON, December H.
Matthew Arnold lectured here this
evening, He was probably the most
surprised man in Washington before
the affair was over. An immense au-
dience was assembled to greet him. Il
had been arranged that Speaker Car
Isle should introduce him, but at the
last moment be sent his regrets, saying
that bis difficulty in fixing the COM
mittees precluded his attendance.
Secretary Chandler was, therefore,
asked to take his place. He. Com
missioner Loring, William Walter
Phelps aud Edward Everett Hale sat
on the platform with ME. Arnold. He
delivered his lecture entitled Science
and Literature" After It's close Sec

The Admission and Atlantic.

Those familiar with Admission
know that we now have the East Ten.
nesse, Virginia and Georgia railroad,
that connects us with Rome on the
north, and Montgomery and Selma on
the south; the Georgia Pacific, that
connects us with Atlanta on the east,
and Birmingham on the west, and the
Admission and Atlantic, that will soon
connect US with the Central railroad
Of Georgia systems on the south, near
GoodWater. These have made An,
niston a through freight station. By
them we are enabled TO ship cotton as
cheap as Montgomery, Rome or Allan
Ia, and To lay down our supplies 10
Anniston for the same freight rates
that the Atlanta or Montgomery
merchant does. The roads
run through as fine a
timbered country as there is 10
the State, and through inexhaustible
coal fields. But the Admission and Al.
lantie road propose TO reach nut for
other fields with which 10 build up the
trade Of Admission, and II is almost de.
initely settled the road will be pushed
forward from Admission to Gadsden,
connecting there with the river traffic
and bringing cotton and coal into the
market. II is also thought feasible by
the management Of the road 10 build
on TO Chattanooga, by which we will
have a new outlet TO and from the
markets Of the East and the West.
The Admission and Atlantic is con-
trolled by Messrs. Tyler h Noble, the
owners Of the Admission, with abun,
dant means to build and equip the
road. In their hands the road will
never discriminate against Admission,
and We can feel safe that il will be a
check on the other roads entering here,
that assuring always cheap freight and
passenger rates. This only adds an.
other argument 10 favor Of Annistor

Railroad suits.

The recent action Of the Louisville
and Nashville and the East Tennes-
see. Virginia and Georgia railroads, In
securing a restraining order against
the State Railroad Commission to
prevent them from carrying out any
part Of the act Of the General Assem-.
bly, under which they operate, as far
as these roads are concerned, has
given rise to much discussion. Per-
sons in nowise antagonistic to rail-
roads, and friendly more than other
wise, claim not to understand the
object Of these railroads in going
into the United States courts,
when the remedy lies within the ju-
risdiction Of the State courts. The
action Of the roads referred TO is
claimed by some to indicate a lack Of
confidence in the State courts, but
this idea is repudiated by the rail-
roads. Their action means simply a
change of venue" In the event
Judge Baxter declines to give a per
petual injunction, the railroads will
have no appeal to the United States
Supreme Court; but, il perpetual
injunction is granted the railroads, the
Commissioners will have q right to
take an appeal to the United States
Supreme Court. This is all there is
in it, Nashville Banner.

Sow Of our exchanges have such

SOME Of our exchanges have such
long names that it takes con.
siderable time and is really
fatiguing 70 give proper credit
in transferring 3 news item from
their columns. And they hang on TO
these names as if they were essential
to existence or were the epitaphs 90
the tomb Of departed friends which it
would DO sacrilege to obliterate. Take,
for instance, weekly paper before us,
one Of our ablest and best exchanges
Of that class. By way Of illustration,
we will ccpyy 80 item Of news, as fol-
lows:
Last week we examined a human
body in a strange state oil preserva-
ton, as it lay 10 casket at the under
taking establishment Of .. A. Il ii. q.
Bernie, awaiting shipment to st.
Louis. The body was that Of Eugene
]. Morrison, who was drowned at
Fort Gibson twenty~six years ego. 1t
had laid in the cemetery at that place
fer eight years and then was removed
TO the National Cemetery at this place.
The body was about the color OF ma
hogany; deoayed very little, form per
feet but slightly shrunk, clothes en-.
tirely gone. 1t was hard and stiff, but
not petrihed.
To give proper credit we would have
to add or prefix the words, "The Fort
Smith, ArkansAw, Independent
True Democrat, Dec. 49, This could
be abbreviated a little, but not much.
The name Of the paper probably re-
fsrs to two or three papers that iOr-
merly had separate existence We
can see no use in trying to perpetuate
the name of a paper that is dead or
has been merged into another. The
people want to read live papers rather
than obitual lines referring to the de-
parted or absorbed journals Of past
years. There is strength in union,
but not in hyphenated headings to
newspapers. 1t il a matter OF type,
aud ink and space, aud even Of time
and labor. There are daily papers also
that constantly remind their readers
that the business was formerly over
done aud had to be consolidated so
as to make ends meet, aud that some
body, whether the fttest or not, has
survived at the expense Of others, who
had to 30 out Of business or Of
employment In other lines Of BUSH
ness it is net so. When railroads OF
mercantile houses consolidate, they
adopt some general expressive namt
and drop the old distinctions as they
would any other useless label. A
short, terse heading, We imagine, con
veys more force-like solid shot
and leads the reader to expect brevity
conciseness and clearness Of ideas,
which constitute the charm aud value
Of the modern newspaper.
