A JAPANESE RAILROAD.
A Ride on lapan's Government Rail
way, the Tokio-Yokohama.
Some Peculiaritics Of Managcmcnt-h Peep
at te Passengers Aboard japanese
Smoking.
Boston Transcrip, Leader.


A portion Of the Tokaido "a leading
highway is now nearly deserted on ac-
count of the Toxic yokohama railroad.
Close TO Yokohama is small town cal
led Kanagawa, and from this place the
pilgrims now commence their tramp.
y kanagawa is about eighteen miles fro n
Toxic, and third class passengers can
ride there for about 20 cents, certainly
much cheaper than an eighteen mile
walk with the cost of a lunch.
The Tokio-Yokohama railroad is a
government affair, as everything else is
here. Although il cripplcs individual
enterprises, it secures the success of a
thing to have the government control it.
The railroad and the telegraph systems
are very satisfactory, and the postal sys-
TEN is just about perfect.
Trains are run between the two stations
every hour and quarter during the day,
leaving both stations simultaneously.
The whole equipment is English. The
cars are divided into three classes. Even
the first class ears are decidedly plain.
These are divided into three compart-
ments. The second class cars would
hardly be used on horse railroad in
Boston. They are rs plain as can
be, and made Just like horse car, hav-
ing two long seats on the side facing
each other. The seats are upholstered
with the same kind of mating which
the japanese use on their floors.
The third-class cars have simply plain
benches for seats. The exterior of al
three classes is the same. Third-class
passengers are boltcd into the car'. The
engines are smaller than the shifting en-
gines in the Boston depots. The time
required for the eighteen miles ride is
fifty-seven minutes Everything per

In a restaurant the other niybt half ,
dozen acquaintaEces were talking abou
the era of crime in Detroit, and one o
the party, who looked upon himself as 1
pretty good amateur detective, observed

"What, tonight"
"fes, or any other night"
A wager was instantly made, and the
crowd walked TO the corner of Griswood
street and Lafayette avenue. Ii halted
there and the detective" crossed over
the City Hall side TO wait for a pedes-
trlan and carry out the terms of the va
ger. II was late and the streets were
quiet, but in few minutes the click of
heels was heard on the pavement, and
along came chap with his hands in his
pockets. When he was close enough the
one in hiding stepped out, and demand
ed:
"IIold on, sir-hold on!"
What for?" was the cool reply.
Because, sir, | want to know your
name, residence and the business which
calls you out at this hour of the night"
"Oh, you do, eh? Well, here they are
all in bunch" said the stranger as he
struck out and knocked the inquisitive
chap so fiat and cold that il took ten
minutes nursing to bring him TO.
There's 'em, and hope you feel bet
teri" growled the stranger as he passed
on, but his hope was in vain. The anna
teur detective never felt worse i'm his
life. He isn't following suspicious char
acters close enough to bother 'em any.

Out BeYOnd.

The trouble with a great many
men who take an active part in poll
tical affairs is that they see nothing
beyond the present, to influence poll
tical action, or to furnish motive
therefor. It is useless to argue with
these policy" politicians that strict
adherence to what is right, and bold,
uncompromising advocacy of the
right side Of every great question
that comes before the country, is the
only safe course for a political party
or an individual, to pursue.
In the present campaign there are
to be found many men who will vote
for the first proposition Of the
amendment to be voted on in October.
Some Of these men advocate the
whisky proposition for fear that any
other course might injure the party
to which they belong; some from the
fear of losing personal favor with the
LIQUOR element; others from desire
to appear contrary, or smart. We
occasionally hear these men claiming
that great majority Of the Republi-
can party, and of the people are in
favor of "wise, just and equitable tax
ation," Of the liquor traffic. Such
men know there is no truth in such
claim, their object is to Justify their
own questionable course on the Tenn
perance question by claiming that
they are backed by public opinion.
Many Of this class of men are raising
families. Should you ask one of these
men if he would have his son become a
drunkard, or his daughter the wife of
drunkard, he would quickly reply in
the negative, yet by his precept, and,
alas, in too many cases by his exam
pie, he is leading not only his own
children, but those Of his neighbors,
on the road to Intemperance and ruin.
Could he be persuaded to pause and
reflect, seriously, upon the probable
effect Of his teaching, he might see
the danger signal flying, out beyond
his present surroundings. But such
men rarely heed the advice Of friends.
ALI friendly appeals are stubbornly
cast aside, and they will deliberately
go down to ruin-merely to show their
smartness.
It is a mistaken idea any great por-
ton of the people favor the liquor
traffic, or have any great admiration
for the men who engage in it.
People do not look, for political wis
dom, to the bloated and blistered
brute who spends his time rushing
from one doggery to another.

RetributiOn.

At Uniontown, Pa, MI. Dukes paid
attention to a Miss Mutt, whom he
succeeded in betraying and running.
He then wrote letters to the lady's
father, calculated to harrow the feel
ings of that gentleman to a still
greater degree than they had already
suffered. Mr.. Mutt called on Dukes
at the latter's room, in a Uniontown
hotel, where Dukes deliberately mur-
dered him.
Dukes was arrested and tried. A
clear case Of deliberate, brutal murder
was made out, yet the jury astounded
everybody present, including the
Judge, by bringing in verdict Of
mot guilty" This so enraged the
good people of Uniontown that they
served peremptory notice upon
Dukes to leave the place. He had
been elected to the Legislature, but
was refused admission. He was also
disbarred by the legal fraternity.
Yet Dukes remained in Uniontown
defying public sentiment, and board
ing in the same room in which he
had murdered Mr.. Mutt.
On last Wednesday afternoon,
Jas. Mutt, son Of the murdered man and
brother of the ruined girl, was stand
ing near the Uniontown Postofice
when Dukes came strutting along,
twirling little rattan cane. All the
wrongs done to his loved ones by this
scoundrel rushed through the brain
Of young Mutt, and he drew his re-
volver and riddled the brute with
bullets, not stopping until he was
sure the brute was killed. The
verdict Of the people Of Uniontown
seems to be that it served him right.
1t is to be hoped that no jury can be
secured who will convict Mutt Of
anything in this case.
Every scoundrel who attempts to
ruin an innocent girl, deserves death,
and the more horrible the death the
more justice there is in it.

On last Monday at Vincennes,
Indiana, young husband got drunk,
went home, shot his bride with a
revolver, killing her, then killed him
self; they were buried in the same
grave. The young wife is described
as a woman of remarkable beauty, her
face, after death, being a rare picture
of innocence and beauty. The face
of the maniac husband and murderer
wore horrible, distorted look.
The minister, in preaching the fu-
neral discourse, severely arraigned the
Devils Agents who sold, this young
man the poison which was the direct
cause Of this horrible crime. Yet we
presume there are great bloated, bis
tered and sinking hulks, in pea-jack-
cts and slippers, waddling about the
streets of that town, and talking
about ''de geot dings vot our peesness
ish doin NIT der goondry." And
there are doubtless other great wheez-
ing bloats going about talking about
protecting a legitimate business,
and taxing and restricting" The
doggery keepers of that town are di-
rectly responsible for the murder OF
this beautiful and pure young wife
and it is only to be regretted that the
law cannot hang every doggery-
keeper who sold this young man
liquors of any kind.
