CITY OF MEXICO.

The Mexican Central trains are
now running from Fl Paso to the
City of Mexico on a schedule time of
tifty-eight hours. This is decided
improvement over the old stage trip
of two weeks.
The fare, fifty two dollars and
fifty cents, is also al improvement
over the old time when it cost for
tune to visit the "Halls of Montezu-
mas
The opening Of the road in the
spring of the year is most opportune
in more ways than one. 1t gives
the capitalist and prospector u chance
to begin operations during the best
season of the year, though, for that
matter, the season rarely conflicts
with any occupation whatever in
Mexico.
It is most oppertme for the tourist
VIII" will wish to get away from the
suIlry days Of our own sumner to
Tie magnificent summer Of the
Mexican plateau.
The country through which the
road runs Is situated ut All elevation
of from five to seven thousand feet
above the sea-level, and its climate
is simply superb. In the oddity of
the people. the qlaintness of the
cities and antiquity OF its ruins, Mex
leo rivals Europe itself.
Until Mexico is Americanized. at
least, trip to that Spanish America
will be as interesting lis the ''grand
tour" while the great difference in
expense will make it for most of us
the fayorite.
1t is noticeable that Atchison, To
peka and Santa Fe and Mexican
Central are the only roads that meet
in Union depot at FL Paso, where
trains stand side by side; thus avoid
ing a troublesome transfer across the
city. Another conspicuous feature
of the train service is the arrange
ment by which those coming to FL
Paso, over the Santa Fe make almost
immediate connection with the Mex
lean trains, while by other routes
the traveller suffers delay of fifteen
hours. Perhaps this was an accident,
and, perhaps it wasn't; at all events,
the average tourist will take the
quickest and most convenient route.
The Sante Fe trains run from
Kansas City to FL Paso without
change Of cara of any kind, so that
the companies have practically a
through route from the Missouri
river to the City of Mexico.
One of the pleasantest things about
a trip along this route is the entire
absence of danger from the disease
incident to a journey on the low
lands, for the Mexican Central's en-
tire course is on the great plateau
from five to seven feet above the sea-
level.
The summer climate, on account

of the elevation, is simply magnif-
cent, and will always hold for this
route the favor of the public, while
its American compadre, the Santa
Fe, will open the eyes of the eastern
tourists with their grand hotel at
Las Vegas-Hot Springs, now being
rebuilt on grander scale than be-
fore, with the ancient city of Santa
Fe and the vine clad valley of the
Rio Grande.

When public opinion has reached q
crisis any newspaper expression that
crystallizes the soluble elements is
legitimate precipitation in physics.
The soluble public opinion | refer to is
that foreign teachers have no right to
be employed in this county except
where there is not enough of the home
element, or where the home element is
too weak There is no trouble about
there being enough home material as
to second position l maintain that the
foreign element | have seen is not
bit better than the timber we have at
home. ! am not influenced by any
petty spirit Of mud-finging. l am
holding up for a principle Of eternal
right, and position that no man with
more brains than ,hinlbleful will
contruveft.
Six wears ago the editor is al liberty
to z i've my namethe position Of ex-
aminer by a foriuitnis combination of
circumstances had irself thrust upon a
gentleman excessively distastcfni to us
all, because he could not exert the re-
straint of power with the pre- eminence
of natural superiority that drives the
utterance Of authority home. That
gentleman began at once a series of
coloniZations from the Eastern Sho'.
These teachers you-werc not
then compelled to work their way up
ward by dint of merit. No. they were
placed way up at the top Of the ladder,
given the cream of the positions, while
our home teachers were consigned to
the sediment at the bottom of the cup.
If any one dare to deny this statement,
will prepare a reply that will I'M
blanket these people by the dozen.
After our people are satisfied, nobody
will object to beginning by putting the
Eastern Sho' element at the bottom
until it has indisputable proof of the
stuff that is in it.

THE Meyersdale Commercial APP
pears "off" IN its chronology of great
local events. The last issue contains
the following lurid statement:
Speaking Of coal shipments in the
Georges Creek region the Cumberland
Courier ungrammatically says:
Four Thousand three hundred and forty
eight tons of coal was shipped from the Con-
solidation companys FIVE mines Monday.
This is the largest amount of coal ever ship
ped from the mines of n single company in a
single day.
This is the condition Of affairs we
predicted when the Consolidation COM
pany was formed some years ago and
when we sounded the alarm We were
hooted down by some of the very know
ing ones, who saw in the monopoly
q good omen for small dealers.
The JOURNAL is something over
six years older than the Commercial,
yet the formation of the monopoly"
spoken of antedates the establishment
of the JOURNAL "some years." We
had thought, however, the truth OF
history might be verified by editor
Smiths alarum through some other
than the Commercial medium, but
further down he says:
We know it may not be polite, or,
perhaps, judieious to thus speak. But
then the Commercial has a refreshing
way of talking right out in ''meetin','
hit whom it may.
