Painting War as It Is.
New York Home Journal,

From the New York Home Journal
Vasili Verestchagin, the Russian
painter now in New York. is the first
great painter of battle scenes who
has dared to paint war as it is and
not as it is supposed to be. He does
not intend that his paintings should
suggest any wild dreams Of glory,
that they should inspire admira-
ton for the soldier or envy
of his career. This is not his object,
but the reverse. He believes that
when war is stripped OF it's glory
it will cease to be popular and TIL.
era of peace, though arbitration,
inaugurated. Hence what many
critics throughout Europe havl
termed his horrible realism. The
spirit Of his war pictures is best ex.
pressed in his own words "Why
should war be idealized and rendered
beautiful when tbs the most awful
blood-curdling institution on the
face of the earth? Ladies who have
visited my pictures have asked mi
VIII ether such scenes as Ihad depicted
were not exaggerated and why I had
not infused more of the romance and
chiy airy ofWar. Ireplied that when
[ went on a field Of battle I saw little
rom ance and perhaps less chiyalry.
What greeted my eyes were heaps OF
dead and dying, faces distorted with
agony, torn and dismembered frames,
pools Of blood-death, suffering and
confusion everywhere. This impress,
sion it was that | threw upon th,

The Judge Modified His Sentence.

One of the keenest things ever said
on the bench is attributed to Judge
Walton. While holding a term of
the Supreme Court at Augusta, hi
sentenced a man to seven years il
prison fora grave crime. Therespond.
ent's counsel asked for an investi-
cation Of the sentence on the grou nd
that the prisoners health was very
poor. Your Honor said he, Il am.
satisfied that my client can not live
out half that term, and I beg yo1
to change the sentence" Well, unde
those circumstances, 2 said the Judge,
81 will change the sentence. Twill
make it for life, instead of seven
years Tt is needless to add that the
respondent chose to abide by the
original sentence, which the Judgs
permitted him to elect. Lewiston

Interstate Railroad Rates.

The railroad commissioners of Iowa made
public theirdecsion in theDavenport, Dubuque
andBurlington jobbers' cases gainst theIowa
railroads. Commissioner Dey refuses to
sign, giving as q reason that Fred Wild of
Davenport threatened him with the opposi-
ton of the jobbers in the election unless the
opinion OF the board was made on or before
Nov. 2. The majority of the board, Messrs
Smith and Campbell in their opinion say:
The evidence on the question of discrimina-
tonln interstate rates against Iowa shippers
develops a system of rates SO unjust as to be
q serious blow at the business prosperity of
those engaged within the state. The low
rates obtained by Iowa jobbers from the
Eastern markets are neutraliZed by the high
local rates within the state, so that the fifth
class in and the fourth-class rate out are
largely in excess OF the class from Chicago to
Iowa points, and our dealers are placed at
such a disadvantages as to destroy largely
their profits and seriously cripple
their business. In many instances the dis
elimination in rates in favor of Chicago
merchants is 90 to 25 per cent What is
true of the Iowa jobbing interests is largely
the case in reference to manufacturing inter
ests of the state The products of Eastern
manufacturers enjoying the benefits of low
rates from the East and also those from
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Our state is in
yaded with the products of the skill of the
1'"rimen of those states laid down at our
doors at lower rates than Iowa manufactures
can transport their goods from the manu-
factory IN Iowa to points within our own
state under the present Iowa distance tariff
From careful comparison of these rates
and the testimony in this investigations
the commissioners are of the opinion
that the charge of conspiracy made
is not sustained, there having been no evil
dence offered as to this allegation; the proof
OF dissemination confined entirely to a
comparison between state and Interstate
business, over which the commissioners have
no jurisdiction, and while the commissioners
are unable to grant relief against discrimina-
tions, they are of the opinion that fair re-
duction of local rates within the state is the
proper remedy to protect Iowa interests
against the injustice they are subjected to
from discriminating in the state rates; the
charge that the rates established by the 10th
Of May and the 18th of August, 1888, tariffs
are unreasonably high and extortionate, is
fully sustained by evidence.

y
great presidential elections who can tell from
what he reads who is the man he ought to
vote for? Bad men sometimes applauded
good men denounced.
Another powerful foe of the sacred chest,
the ark of the American covenant, the ballot
box, is the rowdy and drunken caucus
+ The ballot box does not give any choice to
a man when the nominations are made in the
back part of a groggery. When the elector
comes up he has to choose between two evils
In some of the cities men have come to the
ballot box to vote, and have found both
names such q scaly, greasy, stenchful crew
shat they had no choice. You say vote for
somebody outside. Then they throw away
ttheirvote. Christian men of New York and
Brooklyn, honorable men, patriotic men. go
and take possession of the caucuses. First
ng saturated your pocket handkerchief
With cologne or some other disinfectant, go
down to the caucus and take possession oft
in the pame of the Lord God Almighty and
the American people, though after you come
back you should have to hang your hat and
coat on a line in the. back yard for yentila-
ton.
In some of the states politics have got SO
low that the nominees no more need good
morals than they do a bath tub Snatch
the ballot box from such men Where is the
David who will go forth and bring the ark of
the covenant back from Kiriath- iearim? Do
you not think politics have got to pretty
low ebb in our day when a Tweed could be
sent to the Legislature of New York. and a
John Morrissey, the prince ofgamblers, could
be sent to the American congress?
Now, how are these things to be remedied?
Some say by property qualification. They
say that after a man gets a certain amount
of property certain amount of real estate
he is financially interested in good govern
ment, and he becomes cautious and conser-

Thirty Miles DisaDDear.

Thirty miles of country is big
thing to disappear, but this dis
tance has been dropped out be-
tween Kansas City and Chicago
How it happened is thus figured
out. The Chicago, Santa Fe & Cal
ifornia Railway is completed be-
tween Kansas City and Chicago,
and the distance between the two
cities is only 45S miles measuring
from Union Depot. Kansas City,
to Dearborn Station, Chica 90.
This is exactly thirty miles less
than by any of the old lines, so
you have.to travel thirty miles less,
your freight has to be hauled thir-
ty miles less, and practically the
Santa Fe has made thirty miles
disappear. A few years at this rate
and Kansas will be in New Eng
land.

Queer People.

This is the title of the latest,
and by all odds the most charm
ing book for little people we have
ever seen. Its fables, or stories,
are delightful, but the illustrations
are simply immense.
The author, Palmer Cox, is q
new star in the juvenile armament,
but he shines with unique brillian-
cy. His charming fables rival
those of the world famed Esop,
and he far outshines that cele-
brated library comet by his ,inimit-
bic illustrations. He dresses up
his birds, animals, insects, giants,
fairies, goblins, etc, in grotesque
style and makes them reason, talk,
dance, and cut up all sorts Of the
oldest pranks imaginable, afford
ing infinite delight, as we'll as ex-
cellent instruction to the young.
This issue of his book "Que9r
People" has brought a perfect
ovation of praise from the bright
est men in the land. For instance
Gen. Clinton B. Fisk says: at
has set my children wild with de-
light" and Col. Russell FL. Con-
well, the famous lecturer, says:
Don't send me another such a
book, for | can't get my children
to bed"
The famous statesman diplomat,
and wit, Sunset Cox, says: "The
Kweer Kapers are simply incom-
parable while the distinguished
theologian, DR.. Howard Crosby
says: they have the faclnation
that belongs to Esop and Uncle
Remus,' and the venerable poet,
DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes, writes
Il am sorry l have not a nursery
fnll of little folks to enjoy its
bright pictures and stories .
Hsop's fables are enjoyed by
old and young and are quoted by
the greatest orators and surely
these equally charming stories, so
profusely and exquisitlly illustrat-
ed will charm young and old for
generations to come.
The sale of this book will surely
be enormous. 1t is published by
the well known house of Hubbard
Bros, Philadelphia, Chicago, and
Kansas City, to whom any persons
desiring an agency should apply.

We stibule Trains to Chicago.

The Vestibule train is a new
factor in western railroad trans
portation. 1t is claimed for these
trains that on account of their be-
ing connected by steel hoods all
danger of telescoping in case
of accident is removed, the train
being practically one long car. 1t
is certain that the oscillation Of
the cars is greatly reduced, and it
is also certain that the yestibule
trains afford the greatest comfort
yet known to travellers. The adop-
ton OF this style of train by the
Chicago, Santa Fe d. California
railway between Kansas City and
Chicago is a strong bid for the
passenger trsfic between the West
and Chicago. This new road is in
many particulars ahead of any of
Its older competitors, and will un-
doubtedly be the popular road to
Chicago.
