sleepInE-car Expenses.

From the Elevated RAILWAY journal.
The sleepiDg-car system which began
iu SO limited a manner has reached a
magnitude of which few have any idea.
From the Atlantic to the Pacific these
combinations of speed and comfort are
in operation, and the adoption of conve-
nient and limited space shows no small
degree of ingenuity. One of the princi-
pal expenses OF the sleeping car is the
laundry bill. At Boston the monthly
wash list includes six thousand pieces
Of linen, and the bill is of correspond
ing amount. Each car contains
twenty four bertbs, and lis outfit H.
cludes 100 sheets, 100 piIlow-slips, 80
hand towels aud 10 roller-toWls. The
entire equipment of the Pullman COM
pany include SO, 600 sheete, 46 900 pillow
slips, 10000 hand-towe's, and 5000
roller-tOwels. The company also uses
about IL. 900 blankets A sleeping car
is emptied and eaned as soon as II
reaches its destination, and the soiled
linen Immediately sent to the laundry.
The Pullman company washes and re-
pairs its blankets in the cities where the
principal offices are situated.
The Wagner company, however, send
theirs to he cleaned at the mills IN Pitts
field, Mass, where they were made.
The total equipment OF the Wagner's
company is 4. 200 wooden blankets, 49,
S54 linen sheets, 12,202 pillowsslips,
$40 hand-towels and 2.342 roller
towels. The aggregate expense of keep
ing the beds of this company clean
amounts to about $4,000 to 5000 a
month, or $50, 1000 year. while the Pull
man company Is $1,000 to $4,000
month, notwithstanding the reduction of
cost TO the lowest possible point. She Is
are washed for u c. nts apiece, and Pill
low-slips and towels for CENT each.
An addition TO other expenses is that of
providing the sleeping cars with combs,
brushes, whisk- brooms, feather busters,
soap and other toilet articles, and this
item is largely increased by the inces-
SAINT thefts committed by passengers. 1t

GOOD ADYICE.


The Kansas farmer gives one of its
subscribers what We consider good ad-
vice IN the following. The correspondent
asks the editor question in this Ian
guage:

butiness ON $40 acres of good creek bot
tom and prairie land. and ali told have

and seventy five hogs. Now, | ask Jour

EDITORS REPLY.-A Kansas farm,
located where this one Is, containing 800
acres and worth $4,000, Is an investment
that ought not TO be disturbed for any
trivial cause. A good farm is better
than bank or q railroad, and is better
than any kind of personal property
A heard of cattle on the range may be
swept away by disease, or many animals
lost in other ways; SO of sheep. so OF
hogs; but a good farm paid for sticks
Closer than brother. Our advice is
hold on to your farm, and work into
stock business that you can handle al
home without borrowing money. Get
your land largely into grass; raise rye,
sorghum and milltt as well as clover, and
alfalfa, or whatever grasses are best for
your particular locality. 1t seems to us
that you are in the best possible position
to make money safely; and also on the
best road to ease and comfort. If one
makes money in stock alone, he makes
it quick and fast; but we have seer
stock men come home from market with
faces much longer than they were when
they went away. No, dear fellow; make
that home of yours a paradise, and il
will prove to be mint of no mean pro.

RATLRoAD C0uHIssTOYER,


1t seems t. be pretty well understood
about Topeka that J, F. Legate, of Leav
enworth, will be the new railroad COM
missioner. We are of opinion the rail-
road people are tor him, and quite a
pressure from the papers and other
sources has been brought to bear in his
favor. No one has any doubt of Mr.
LeGate's ability for the place, but there
is "a widespread feeling that he ought
not TO be elected, and he would hardly
be chosen by the people had they a vote
on the matter. We think the council
should weigh his application well before
electing him, and be fully satisfied that
he will tote fair" to use an expression
which is moro forcIble than eloquent.
We have no personal objections to Mr.,
Legate. We believe there are men bet
ter calculated to give satisfaction to the
people than he, The members of the
couAcil will be held responsible for fill.

TIE GREAr QUESTION.

The great question of the nation Is not
the tariff. II Is the free and tair ballot,
the foundation Of the republic. Char.
acter, liberty and life have been utterly
unsafe In one.half OF the nation since
1874, The friends of the government
aud OF the free ballot and fair count
are law-abiding and peaceful, with the
municipal and state power in Bourbon
hands. What shall be doneg Shall
the blacks and Republicans fight and
kill their oppressors, the foes OF the
republic, creating civil war? Shall
the government go down in its force
aud strength aud occupy the south
militarilys Shall the Republican party
give up the contest 10 the southf If
not, what is its policy? Is it not to en-
courage movements like those of Ms
hone in Virginia. until thus the back
bone of the rebel Democracy is broken {?
This last policy will now be tried by
the Republican party. The caucus Of
Republican, representatives and senators
have unanimously requested the
prompt and cordial union of Republi-
cans with all such patriotic citizens in
combined efforts to redeem their states
from the fatal domination of false ideas
and dishonoring practices"

CHRI STAN MORALITY.

Chicago News: Among other modest
demands made by the Association of New
England Free-Thinkers at their recent
meeting was one to the effect that all
laws enforcing Christian morality shall
be repealed. The members of the associa-
ton did not, so far as appears in the tel
egrapic report of their meeting, claim
to have a superior article to the old one.
All they ask is that the one now in use
be abolished SO far as resembling all laws
bearing on the matter can accomplish
that end.
The action of this body is fair sam
pie of what iree-thinkers, so called,
would like to bring about Christian
morslity is based on no dogmas; it H.
wolves no belief in the tenets of particu-
lar secis; compels the acceptance of no
creeds. The laws on which it is based
were given by the Great Exemplar in
reply to lawyer. They are brief, put
they comprehend everything. Love
God with all thy heart, soul and
mind, and love they neIghbor
as thyself. Existing human laws COM
pei neither. The individual is left free
to become a free thinker If he sees fit.
He need not love his neIghbor to satisfy
the law. But he must act toward his
neighbor 10 such a way as not TO inter
fere with his rights or disturb the peace
of the community. In point of fact on
ly the morality deemed necessary to the
public welfate by all men, whether
Christians or not Is what the law CON-
pels. 1t is this that the free-thinkers style
distinctively Christian and ask may be
abolished.
The truth is that those people who
call themselves free-thinkers are very
narrow thinkers indeed. Free to think
as they please, they conine their
thoughts to a narrow groove and would
compel all the world to conform to theil
few Ideas. They are the model bigot:
of the age.

The next session OF the general con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
church which meets at Philadelphia

A FALSE CRY.

1t is popular now for the office-seeker
to declare himself against any further
grant of lands for railroads, and this Is
especially true of would-be reformers
who are seeking congressional honors.
Just as if anybody was now seeking TO
make such grants. The Atchison Cham
plon, in noticing s. A. Riggs speech at
Kansas City, Kansas, the other night,
administers strong rebuke to the con-
gressionaI candidate of the scattered
elements" in the Second district, who,
we are sorry to see, Is making very much
of demagogue of himself. We quote
from the Champion;
1t was a fierce, brawling, promiscuous
denunciation of railroads, loud outcry
against everything that has been done
in Kansas, connected with railroads, for
the past quarter of a century, and 8 bit
ter, vehement, abusive harangue against
the land grant policy of the
general government 1t struck
Us. while reading the report
of Riggs speech, that il was pertinent 20
inquire when Mr.. Riggs became con-
vert 10 the doctrine that the people were
robbed by the policy of making grants
of public lands to railroads. Nobody is
now proposing to give a single acre OF
the public domain for euch purposes.
Congress, only q few days ago, by q prac-
tically unanimous vote, declared that
no more land should be voted for any
purpose. Not single acre has been SO
voted for several years past. There Is
no doubt of the fact that congress went
wild on this land subsidy policy years
ago. Everybody now recognizes
this. But congress, in max
ing the land grants 1t did, simply repre-
sented the then existing public senti
ment Everybody then, and especially
everybody in the west, favored land
grants. The people, not the congress
men who represented them, are to blame
tor what congress did. This state, for
instance. was substantially unanimous
to aid in building railroads within its
limits, aud Sidney Clarke, who was Mr..
Riggs most ardent supporter in the Fit.
Scott convention, and who was in con-
gress as the sole representative of Kan :
sas from 1865 to 1871, probably voted
for and heartily sustained, every land
grant made during that period.
Mr.. Riggs has lived in Kansas
since the territorial DAYS, but
no living man ever heard him utter a
word against the land grant policy dur
ing the period when congress was max
ing land grants. We defy him to point
TO single recorded utierance OF his
making such objection. On the con
trary, he occupied precisely the same
position that all other citizens OF Kansas
did at that time-he advocated or ap-
proved Of land grants 20 build railroads,
because the state wanted railroads. be-
cause within its borders were millions
Of acres Of upoccupied lands. and be
cause il was then believed that the de-
velopment of the state would be pro-
NOTED, and the interests of all its peo-
pie advanced, by the building of rail
ways.

The national board of trade has
adopted resolution reciting the enor
nous value of property annually con-
sumed by fire in the United States, and
recommending to congress the appoint
ment of IA board to investigate the causes
of such great waste of the country's
wealth. The losses by fire IN the United
States at present average nearly 800,
100000 annually, and are at least equal
to one-fifth of the net income of the
whole country from all sources. Such q
waste of property as this has probably
no parallel in any other nation. 1t is a
drain upon the country which should be
stopped. 1t is only maintained on &C
count Of the abundance OF our agricul-
tural resources At some time, however,

Every Republican can safely feel
proud Of the record of his party for pa.
troitism and true devotion to the best
interests of the country. The Republi-
can party has a record which will stand
as an admiration mark in our history
ms long as time lasts When our war
was over and the people of this country
began to talk OF annexing Canada, the
Canadians at once protested that they
could not think of uniting their fortunes
with country so deeply indebted as
ours. Since then we have had eighteen
years of peace, and, while this country
has reduced its debt, Canada, under bad
financial management, has drifted so
deeply into debt that there may be no
escape from insolvency except annexa-
ton. Our debt never was as heavy at
any time, IN proportion 10 our popula-
ton, as the debt of Canada is to-day.
