Romencs and Stern Reality.
From the PhiLddelphin Times.

Here is little nuptial story that shows how
hard 1t is when romance faces stern reality

But the young man. with the economic IDEAS
of his tatherand, found THAI a Fashionable
wedding in this land of extrava garce was
more expensive matter than he had imagined.
The arrangements were no sooner well under
way than he discovered that il would cost five
or ten times much to be married in sty,e
acre as it would at home. He did not mind the
passage over Of his best man and reatives b Il
the estimates for the caterer, the florist and so

vain he tried to reduce the impending outlay.
AS it had been given VI that he was rich he
had stunned his share OF the wedding arrange

The pres ieatial campaign which ended
yesterday is the only one for many years
in which the employees of the government
have not taken an active part in support OF
the party in power During the entire rule
of the Republican party the employees OF all
departments Of the government not only
zealously seconded the efforts of that party
to remain in cont oil by trying to influence
votes for it, but they contributed largely OF
their meaus to provide it with campaign
funds Those who did good political service
were pretty certain to be rewarded by
promotion, while those who were indiifer-
cut to the party's success were, as rule,
dismissed 20 make room for active political
workers. Indeed, ability to discharge pub
lie duties was not half so good recon-
incubation for Office as record for shreWd
and effective political work. The result
was that the Republican party was well
served. and was able TO remain in power
much longer than it otherwise would, but
the public interests were not well cared for.
The party fourished at the expense Of the
people.
Under democratic rule employees of the
government have not been assessed to assist
the party, and they nave not been expected
to neglect their duties to do political work
for the party in poae Indeed, they have
not teen permitted to go to their respective
states and engage actively in the campaign.
Some of the leading officials have made q
few campaign speeches, but they do not
come under the civil service regulations nor
within the spirit of the civil service law.
They are a part OF the administration, and
have done nothing moro than explain the
attitude Of the administration on the lead
ing political issues.
More than half of the employees of the
government are republicans. They have
been permitted to retain their places be-
cause they have records for intelligence, eff
ficiency and industry. The aim Of the ad-
minstraton has not been to make the gov
eminent support a lot of political workers,
but to protect the interests of the people by
filling the Offices from the highest to the
lowest with honest and capable men.
In the campaign of 1854 the republicans
had the assistance of about 100, 900 office
holders. Neither party has had any such
assistance this year. The democratic al
ministration could have filled the offices
with democrats and had tie benefit of their
help, but the President preferred to depend
wholly upon the people. He believed that
they appreciate his efforts to improve the
civil service and to relieve political cam
paigns of the great and dangerous power
which the office-holding class is capable of
exercising; and there is reason for thinking
he was right

In general conversation to-day d we'll known
criminal lawyer told of the latest swindie for
the purpose of obtaining aid from the chartably
inclined. 1t appears that a sketch of his career.
with that of several others, was published in a
paper the other dry. The day after tue article
appeared q young man, who, though not
arrayed in the very best clothes, still had all the
appearance of refinement and education, called
on him. He acted mysteriously. and desired to
consult the counsel privately. On his request
being Complied with, the young man said;
GU see I'm down n the world little, and
have seen better days. 1 am graduate of
Columbia college and yesterday read the fine
account of your life, and l see from that that
you are also Columbian. l make free"
My man. interrupted the lawyer, you
have made mistake. You had better go to the
ex,ludge's Office down the street. He is the
Coiunpia man. You have got the sketches
wofully mixed
Hardy waiting till he heard all, the stranger
turned about and darted out Of the building,
never even waiting TO say adieu. The lawyer
has since learned that this swindIer makes a
regular business OF reading the papers for men
ton or facts in mems lives, and then makes use
of them for his own gain

From New York to London by Rail
From Az PorfLand 0rennninn


People will, instead of risking the dangers of
an Atlantic TRIP and TIE horrors of mat de mer,
As we as for the purpose of saving time, leave
New York for London via Portland and St. Pc
tersburg, and thus will be exemplifed more
fully the great speech of Senator Benton, when
in pointing from Washington toward the Pa
cifc, he exclaimed: There lies the east; there
lies India"
There are now two lines of railway running
eastward from St, Petersburg toward the Ural
mountains, one terminating at Orenbury and
the other at EkaterDburg. and the car has
lately approved Of a plan to build rail
way continuing from the Ural mountains to the
Pacific ocean, a distance of about 1000 miles
including the 1,5O0 miles already constructed
from St. Petersburg 20 the UraI. This road Will
nave IFS eastern terminus at VIadivostock,
which IS situated at the turthest southern ex-
trenty Of Russian territory lying on the Pa
citic coast, on that side This, of itself, will
much shorten The trip from ST. Petersburg to
American Pac-ti coast ports, super inducing
as it will, a line of steamers from Nlalivostock
to American ports across a much narrower por-
ton of the Pacific ocean than o at of the course
OF the steamers now plying between Vancouver
and Yokohama.
But ii little time, comparatively, the route
will be'all rail from St. Petersburg to New
York. The generation now growing up will
make the trip.

The Law and the Lease.

The suit which has been begun for the
annulment of the lease Of the East Tennes-
see, Virginia and Georgia railroad to the
Richmond ard Danville railroad promises
to be an interesting one. 1t is expected that
it will be heard this month, though decis-
ion may not be reached for many months.
1t is claimed that the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia, holding as it does
charters from both Georgia and Tennessee,
is controlled to certain extent by the laws
of both states. The Georgia law provides
that when any competing line acquires con
trol of any road chartered by the state OF
Georgia, the charter of the latter
road becomes void, and it is the
duty Of the attorney general of
the state to begin suit for its for
fixture. The Georgia Central is now part
of the system which controls the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia, and is
competitor of that line.
The Tennessee law prohibits the pu~-
chase or lease of railways by competing
lines. 1t also provides than any such lease
must be authorized by majority of the
stockholders of the leased line. 1t is as
serted that there las been no such author
ization by the stockholders of the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia.
What the defense will be is of course not
known, and will not be until the answer to
the plaintiffs petition is filed. it is re-
ported, however, that the Richmond Term
inal management is confident that the lease
of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
to the Richmond and Danvilie will be held
to be valid. One of the stories current is
that the lawyer who drew the charter of
the Richmond Terminal was told to make
it so that almost anything could be done
under it, and 1t is also said that some of the
ablest railway lawyers in the country have
expressed the opinion that the lease of the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia to the
Richmond and Danvile is drawn with such
skill that no court in the country will de
clare it invalid.
Those who are interested in the recent big
railroad deals in the SOUTH either directly
or indirectly. will watch the progress of this
suit with deep interest.

Here is something really funny. 1t ought
to be placed under the head of ''Humors OF
the Campaign" A special t. the New York
Tribune of Sunday says that several 'inde-
pendent" newspapers combined recently in
sending correspondents to South Carolina,
Louisiana and Mississippi, with instructions
to make unbiased" reports concerning the
alleged suppression Of colored votes in taose
states. Not only do the co respondents
show that intimidation is practiced, says
the Irtbune's special, but one of them has
felt called on to send dispatch to the syn
dictate of newspapers, imp oring each to
cut off all southern subscribers at once, else
his life will be in peril" Another tele-
graphed that he was ''sure he would be
murdered if the South Carolina democrats
became aware of the tenor of the letters he
was sending north The stories Of scoun-
drels such as these have ceased TO arouse in
dignation in the south-they now cause
amusement only

Chairman Brice, of the democratic cam
paign committee, is sharper than Minister
West. Somebody, presumably republican,
tried to trap him by Offering to buy the
votes of 120 railroad men in New York if
the democrats would furnish the money.
Here is Col. Brice's answer: The PROPOSE
ton you make to buy the votes of 120 of
your fellow railroad employees Is one of the
basest ever submitted to this committee. 1t
shows an utter and entire miSconception of
the position of the Democratic party and
the rights and privileges Of citizens of
this republic. Yea, more. 1t shows that,
judging your fellows by your own low
moral standard, you are willing not only to
debase yourself. but to dishonor your fell
lows for gain" There is vast difference
between this and the Dudley letter.

Let Every Democrat Vote.

Every democrat in Chatham county, and
Of every other county of the state, should
make special effort to vote to-day. All
citizens can afford to give part of one day
to the duty which devolves upon every citi-
zen-th6t of assisting in selecting the law
makers and those who administer the laws
There are farmers who may think they
cannot spare the time, and there may be
professional men, business men and work
ingmen who may think that their votes will
not be missed. All such men should take a
second sober thought about the matter, and
they will then see that they have too much
at stake to neglect SO important duty as
that of casting their ballots.
The democratic leaders of this state are
especially anxious to bring out big vote.
They don't want it to be said in congress
again that they represent an insignificant
number Of voters, or that the reason that so
few votes are cast in their districts is that
the vote is suppressed. Let the country
see what Georgia can do in the way Of Civ
ing an old-fashioned democratic majority.
In Florida. also, there should be no indif-
ference among democrats. A big demo-
cratic vote is wanted there, and the bigger
il il, the better it will be for the state.
