odors arising from negligent housewifry.
In onlycne instance was the amount OF the

company's treatment of its tenants COM
planned of. In nearly all Of the houses tbs
interiors were coy, home like, comfortable,
with books and plants, artistic gas fixtures,
bright, warm colors IN carpet and paperiug,
an organ or piano, and plenty Of sunlight
Pullman is not q paradise. Its jewellers
must work, and they must pay their rent, and
the mere laborers must be satisfied with mar
row rooms and limited bills Of fare. There
are dissatisfied ones, Of course, who growl at
this or that, and try to make themselves and
others believe that the whole idea is q mis-
take and all the inhabitants its victims. But
that the people are thrifty is as apparent in
the dress as III the homes, IN the stores as tn
the savings hanks, where there are 100 &C.
counts, averaging more thar 500 each. The
average wage earning per annum is S5I6.
The cardinal feature of the Pullman idea Is
central control. Il will build my working
men a model city, said Pullman, ~and viii

master. II he chose he could be despot, to
the extent of refusing a man habitation,

man in the place looks as il he was hike the
bed linen used in the sleeping cars, with the
worl pullman branded on his back. IL
has also been said that Pullmans employees
are compelled 10 purchase where and OF
whom Pullman wishes them TO purchase, and
that the rules governing the department OF
the tenants are 50 severe that a man may not
sit in his own dooryard in his shirt sleeves
and smoke pipe. These are misrepresenta-
tionS. There is no despotism in Pullman.
Buying and selling is as free as in any town,
and if the rules governing tenants are not as
lax the community is the better off therefor.
4 man may sit on his porch and smoke, and
women may gossip over the back gate, and
boys may play ball or leap frog in the street,
but women are not allowed 10 dump garbage

mitted the privilege OF getting drunk in the
town.

KANSAS RATES.

From abe Globe Democrat.
The vital interest of ST Louis merchants
in the ad iustmcnt Of Southern Kansas
rates, now occupying the attention of the
Southwestern Association and to come be-
fore the arbitration committee at Chicago
next Tuesday, has finally fully impressed
itself on the st. Louis business public. :
= During the past week the managers
of the different roads in interest have been
furnished with arguments as to the position
of ST. Louis, and calling attention to the
Justice due the city. Yesterday the com
mittee. under the lead of Mayor
Francis. its chairman, and Presi-
dent Cobb, of the INGREDIENTS
exchange, formally called upon
General Traffic Manager Newman, of the
Missouri Pacific, and Generel Freight
A rent Cole of the Frisco, and had a long
conference. resulting simply in the stronger
recognition of the fact that Wichita, by
the straight route, is tifty-seven miles
nearer St Louis than by the route running
up around by Kansas City, and that the
Missouri Pacific and the Frisco will fight
for their position and that of St Louis
The committee will stand ready TO do any
thing in its power to give assistance. 1t is

10 the Arbitration Committee will be by
the Missouri Pacific and the Frisco on the
one side and by the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe and the Southwestern Association
on the other. An effort will probably be
made by cities in the opposition to affect
the committee, but if that is al
lowed an adjournment will be in
sisted on, and St, Louis will
furnish all the facts that can be desired TO
sustain the position taken. In the mean
time the efforts of the local business men
are being confined to inducing the Chica-
90 Burlington and Quincy and Chicago
and Alton people to maintain a neutral pc
sitiOn. and to cause the Wabash to take a
position with the Missouri Pacific and the
Frisco. or to at least remain neutral. The
Wabash is regarded rs a st. Louis road,
and pressure will be brought to bear to
make it take position as such MeSsrs.
Talmage aud Smith being out of the city,
il is difficult to tell what effect the work of
the committee will have. but its members
are very earnest in the work. and say they
will not give up the fight until they have
done everything possible short of obtain

The ignorance of newspaper men touch
inc their own line Of business is often
matter of establishment. The only way we
can account for it is that the man who does
the writing does not get his fingers into the
business details. The idea OF a newspaper
man declaring that he could run an Asso-
cated Press daily for $l2 800 a year Is an
instance of the ignorance alluded to. The
man, the printer, the firm who should at

There is no doubt that the prohibition

If Mr. Carlisle should conclude that n

him to accept the speakership of the Fifth

man Of the way and means committee and
thus become leader of the house, it Emight

His clear intellect with its judicial bent. his
reputation for fairness and his unrivaled
powers of debate would combine to make
him the most conspicuous figure among
American statesmen, and finally place him
at the head of the government. If such
should be the result the country would
have reason to thank the little pack of cur:
who are now snarling at his heels

of the certain defeat that awaits his party,

And wing that rarely tires,
Goes birdie with his golden wings,
Within his cage OF wires.
His graceful head is turned aside,
Whilst he with gentle glee,
Pipes his won'drou silv'ry notes
To silence and to me.
All. birdie with the golden wing
Thy tunes and matchless lays,
Like music from human heart,
Ascend to God in praise.
Up from happy fount of joy,
They scintillate on high
Ia praise to him who lets thee live
Who knowest when you die.
Thy harmony is peace indeed;
1t teaches unto man,
In lessons reverent of praise,
That life is but span!
Not longer birdie than thy song,
Closing sweet and low;
Mayhap before its final note
twill be time to go.
