Seventeenth century and settled with

great Improvement on the day coach for
oleepiug purposes. George M. Pullman
organized o company for their owning
and running, bought UP the new patents
~ they were issued, and coined money
from the start. 1t Is many year since
those able to pay for berth have failed,
IN going on night journey. to take a
s.nleeper," and there are thousands of
people In the United States who have
nsysr travelled At night in any other way.
At the expiration Of leases Of Pullman
cars, many Of the roads failed to renew
them and put their own coaches on the
rods. Notwithstanding that the Pullman
company has continued to prosper. Its
capital stock Is ts0. .0O00 900.
The city Of Pullman. which was founded
em the purpose Of establishing these
works, Is about fifteen or twenty miles
eQuth OF Chicago. II was founded by
! -. Pullman on an idea Of his own TO give
NJ greatest comfort 10 the laborer and
surround him with some Of the refining
influences OF the rich. There has been
. good deal said from time to time as to
the workings Of the system. There is a
neatness. trimness, uniformity about
everything In Pullman far different from
IN ordinary manufacturing village.
There are books. reading room and
pictures--in short everything TO cultivate
esthetic tastes. But all is vested in the
company. The laborer neither owns any
part or anything in Pullman, nor can he.
Every foot OF land, every building is
owned by the company. which will not
sell. Every lease is drawn with the stip.
uiation that the tenant must depart at
ten days notice. and the company Is not
required TO give reason. These features

that alleged independent paper "bases
its belief in the probable success of
the Democracy on its confidence in the

American people that kept the Democracy
out of power from 1860 to 1884? Does the

postmaster General Dickinson saws he has
not attacked New England in speech.
That is true. Mr.. Dickinson's attack was
made In conversation with a Chicago re-
porter and afterwards repeated to Detroit
reporter. He does not deny that he was ra-
ported correctly in both these interviews
His denial, therefore, is really quibble. He
has attacked New England, bu not in ;
speech. To the general public Dickinson,s
performance has appeared to be the height
OF folly, and apparently it has now occurred
to Dickinson himself that it was a foolish
thing, big blunder. How he hap
pened to commit it is not explained, but it
was probably the outcome of a disease he
has been afflicted for some time back. and
which has grown worse since he became a
member of the Cabinet The Latin name
for his disease is caput tuiniduna, in English
it is ''swelled head" or big head" 1t is not
a rare disease. We know Of several Demo-
cratic politicians around here who were
afflicted with it before election, but election
somewhat arrested its progress. Mr.. Dickin.

The Boston school commit have voted
to substitute Anderson's history for Swim
tons. The female members of the board
voted against the change. Swinton's history
was opposed by the Catholics on the ground
that 1T did them injustice in some of its state
ments. DIR. Duryea in explanation of his
vote and the action of the committee. said
that Swinton's history was removed In the
interest of truth and fairness. He was sur
prised at the interest some people had taken
in the matter-an interest which he believed
was the result of religious, race and political
prejudice. The controversy, he did not be-
lieve, was conducted ON the merits of the
book. Catholic people have been invited to
come to this country; they are compelled by
law to contribute to the building of school
houses, to the payment of teachers, to the
purchase of books, and they are also COM
PEELED to give to their children certain
amount of education, either in the public
schools or in some other schools. A proper
regard should be had for their feelings. All
the feeling which has been stirred Up DIR,

litical and religious bigotry and passion.

The rising tide of public sentiment against
Governor Hill appears finally to have
alarmed him. He is not quite SO defiant as
he was. In speech the other night he
sought to convince his audience that the
reason he vetoed the ballot reform bill.
passed by the last legislature. was not be.
cause it would deprive him of a good MANY
fraudulent votes, but because he was afraid
some of the machinery would not work well.
Indeed he had the hardhood to tell his au-
dence that If well considered measure of
ballot reform should be passed by the legis-
lature it would meet his approval. The
New York people, however. have had too
much experience with Hills promises to be
deceived by them. Two years ago when he
vetoed the high license bill he promised
that, If a measure of that nature were drawn
SO as to avoid the objections he raised
against the vetoed bill, he would approve it.
The next legislature followe; his sugges-
lions and framed bill in conformity with
them, but he vetoed that just as promptly as
he did the first. His last promise is of
course of no value in the opinion of the peo-
pie of New York-except as showing that he
is badly frightened

All the waving Of the bloody shirt there
is this year appears to be done by the Demo-
Gratis. Here is Senator Blackburn of Ken
lucky, saying to the people of Louisville:
II won't make any complaint of anything that
happened from 1851 to 1866. Ii the Lord. who
Is said to be measureless in his mercy can forgive
the Republican party for all II did during. these
four years, will swear that will try and initiate
his Christian example and forgive them to-" Zap
plause.l
Yet we do not observe that any Democrat
ic paper rebukes Mr.. Blackburn for reyiy-
ing the memories of the war. and as for the
listeners to his harangue they appeared to
like the revival for the report says his re-
marks were received with applause.
The committee of the Senate that has been
investigating the civil service finds that Mr..
Cleveland's reforms have been confined
chiefly to profession. They have material
lied in practice to an exceedingly limited ex-
tent. None of the puDishments which he
threatened have been imposed, notwith-
standing there have been plenty of oppor-
tunities. The committee have no doubt that
the oficeholders are being assessed to help
pay the expenses OF the present campaign.
None OF these discoveries will prove start
ling to the public. for there has long been
abon1ant evidence that Cleyelands interest
in civil service reform departed soon
after he yielded to the seductive
Influence Of second term, and that
since then the offices have been used for all
they were worth to secure his denomination
and reelection, but it is well to have the
facts put on record in an official form, and
in this direction the Senate committee have

Rumored Railway Projects.

The San Francisco Call saws: The re-
cent departure north of c. 2. Huntington.
accompanied in his special car by Charles
Croker and General Manager Towne. has
aroused speculation in railroad circles. The
party will go as far north as railroad cars
will carry them, passing Portland. Tacoma,
and Seattle, thence up the Sound to Vic.
toria, Nanaimo and Vancouver.
The alleged object of the trip-the in
spection of the new Portland-San Fran
cisco line-is said to be secondary to
broader ends. These embrace no less than
a consolidation over all the northern trans
continental lines of general system of
through passenger and freight rates.
Mr.. Huntington is believed by those who
know him best to have made up his mind
that San Francisco shall occupy IN the Pa
cific the same position as New York does
upon the Atlantic. To this end present
tate adjustments with the Canadian Pacific.
Northern Pacific and California and Oregon
lines are for the time satisfactory: but in
creasing traffic will make new arrange
ments necessary. The Canadian Pacific
rail line ends at Vancouver and requires
to be connected with Seattle-a distance of
go miles-before this road has through
rail communication with this city.
To consider the construction of this road
from Seattle north along the shore Of Puget
Sound to tie Canadian Pacific main line is
said to be one object of the present visit of
Mr.. Huntington and his party. Such a
route would pass through Snohomish and
Whateom, and cross the boundary line OF
the United States near Lynden, thus unit
ing San Diego with Vancouver, a distance
of coo miles. The bringing of the Mani
toba and Saskatchewan country into closer
relations with the Pacific coast would be
