THE PLANET
ANOTHER RICHMOND GIRL.
New YORK, May 31st,

New York, May 31st, $50.
To the Editor of the PLANET.
Does the Richmond Girl feel
that she is doing her duty by stay
ing away from church on the Sab
bath to keep up with the gay giddy.
circle of society as she terms it?
Then | suppose if society should de
mand going to church Sunday even
lngs she will find it easy to comply
because it is fashionable not be
cause 1T is her Christian duty2 If
ones mind is made up that thing
Is right and has any will pow
er 1t Is not hard to stand out seper
ately.
Be sure your foundation is firm,
then build thereon. If she feels
that she does right by staying from
church, why feel embarrassed when
asked about attending? Her lines
OF Milpan on the "Acme" are ap.
plicable to herself on church going.
| hope the social circle will not be
come 80 polluted as to allow the
spirit Of strike to enter it so far as
the gentlemen's dress is concerned
which is personal matter.
do not suppose that abe has
anything to dOwith the Geo. Wash
ingtons. James Monroes or Henry
Clays, but thinks they might find q
more profitable way of spending
their time and thereby help bring
up the race in stead Of helping to
degenerate it.
Give dog or cat a piece of
cheeze if it is pure it will eat it,
but give it whiskey or beer and it
will not drink it, which is test of
its impuritT. Yet many Of the high
er order of animals will stoop to
drink what the lower animals refus
es.
If the Richmond Boy" really
thinks the Richmond Girl has
fifty faults to his one it will be ad
vieable to dispense with her cOmps
ny thereby saving himself the dis
comfort Of having her hanging on
his arm around ice.cream parlors,
as evil communications corrupt

Secretary of the Interior tho Pacific
Railways,
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-General Johnston,
Commissioner of Railroads, in his annual
report to the Secretary of the Interior on
the Pacific railways says the Union Pa
citic road is in excellent condition and
tirst-class in all respects. The funded debt
of the Union Pacific on June 50, 1886
amounted to sl15,04S, 1S9, against sll6,41.-

sl0.25OSS an increase of S1t.0, so over
the previous year.
The Northern Pacifici is reported in very
good shape. The net earnings Of the road
for the year ended June 80. 1N>s, were s.
4,263 an increase of S5}G,4f3 over the

In reviewing the condition Of The sink

law of 1878 is inadequate to the object for
which it was enacted, that of producing
sum sufficient to pay the debts that will be
due to the United States from the ''aided''
roads, and that additional au;l juGici0us
legislation will be necessary to enable
those companies to discharge THEN
debts to the Government. He Their
