THE new fast mail train between New
York and Chicago is not looked upon
very faverably by the people of the
railway mail service in Chicago. 1t is
held that, as the train arrives in Chica-
go as late as 1926 a. M, it is useless as
far Is Chicago is concerned, IS the
mail could not be delivered until af-
ter the regular train had come in. The
benefit is observed at St. Louis, where
business men now receive New York
mail at 9 q. m. the same time as Chi
cago, instead of noon, as formerly.

A CURIOUS duel with locomotives
took place at the Union Depot, Kansas
City, recently. Two Missouri Pacific
and Chicago & Alton freight trains
were disputing over the right of way on
the fifth depot track. Failing to make
each other yield a point they crowded
on steam and deliberately forced a COL
lision. Fortunately they were too close
together to get up much speed. but the
cow-catcher on the Alton engine was
smashed, and the men on the train
considerably shaken up. Then fer
nearly an hour they tried to buck each
other off the track, but finally the Mis-
souri, Pacific yielded and backed of,
leaving the Alton train in possession of
the field.

The Warden of the Illinois Peniten

The Warden of the Illinois Peniten-

Most of the Republican papers are
giving up the libelous charges against
Cleveland's personal character, and
the Republican National Committee
is repudiating any connection with
the circulation of the slanders. We
notice, however, that our esteemed
contemporary, the Journal, contin-
ues to revel in the filth, apparently
for the mere love of its foul and false
odors. When it has exhausted this
theme, we suggest that it turn its at
tention to some historical incidents
in the life of Blaine. Democratic
newspapers have thus far refrained
from giving currency TO them be-
cause they would prefer to fight the
campaign on a plane above the sew

eral and Commandership Of the Dep
