Politics being the natural vocation and
leading industry of the people of Indiana, a
year like this which finds them with no cleo
ton on hand, is tedious by dull and heavy
time. But for the little excitement afforded
by the incubation of president ial booms,

NoToRIETY oftimes throws glamour about a
man or woman, particularly after death. Had
Mrs. Maude Crawford, of New York city, died in
a natural manner, scarcely any one would have
followed her to her grave. But she was killed
in the crush on the big bridge, ana sixty women
crowded into coaches at the funeral. During
her lifetime she had lived in houses of ill-fame,
and was on two occasions arrested for keeping a
disorderly house. No priest or minister offic
ated at the funeral. 1t is probable. however.
that the body of Maude Crawford lies as easily
in its grave as though it were buried under i'm
mortelles.

way?"
"Why, they do not permit the railroad
monopolies to rob their people. Here is one
instance: You take the Southern Pacific rail-
road to the boundary, and you pay ten cents
a mile ordinary fare. The moment you cross
the line the same railroad charges three cents
a mile. The Mexicans provided for their
people when they gave these grants, and the
railroads cannot rob them; but in America
it is nothing but robbery on the railroad
system of the Southwest wherever you CO.
We have to pay more for our sleeping-cars

should burrow deep into modern philanthropy
and evangelical movements:
"a prominent, broad-minded philanthropist,
who was lately conversing with me upon the
subject, declared that, considering the state of
ahJeot misery into which millions of the people
are born and live, and the scanty opportunity
they have for recreation, the wonder is, not that
they drink so much, but that they drink so little.

such fuss about ameliorating their condition

and art galleries on Sundays, and he spoke
with exceeding bitterness of the selfish apathy
OF the bulk Of well-to-dO Englishmen on this
subject"

san Antonio, November 1.-THE
Sunset railway recently discharged
from its employ all colored men hav-
ing positions on the cars. Since then
the road has sustained losses from
wrecks aggregating about 5000 and
three persons have been killed and n
dozen or more badly injured. The
road prohibited its cmployesand agents
from giving information, ostensiblv to
keep the public in the dark as TO what
was happening.
1t is reliably reported that G. II.
Huntington, president ofthe Southern
Pacific syndicate, has purchased the
Mexican National railway, owned by
Palmer and Sullivan, and the Pecos
Ric Grande, owned by Gov. A. G..
Hunt. He has ordered work stopped
on the extension of the Sunset into
Mexico when the two hundred and
iiitieth kilometrc is reached, which is
twelve mi les from the city of Mon
clova. This work will be finished
about January LIST. and the forces will
be placed on the line from Gonzales TO
Cuero, connecting there with the road
TO lndianola on the Gulf coast, recent
~ purchased from the Morgan heirs.
This line will connect with the main
line of the Sunset mt HARDWOOD 1t is
also supposed that the Pocos and
Rio Grande road will be built
shortly to Eagle Pass, principally to
open a rich coal district along the Rio
Grande, through which the road will
pass. The purchase of the Mexican
National Is supposed to shut out Gould
on the lower Gulf coast, rs this road
now runs from Corpus Christi, Texas,
to Saltillo, Mexico.

approaching election of officers for the

stranger mounted a horse and rode
away in the confusion that ensued.
None of the parties are dangerously

Of the trouble.
