1t is said that Mr.. Pullman is actually
considering the possibility and practical
biIity of making the roofs of his vesti-
bule cars into summer gardens. The
plan includes fountain in the center of
each car surrounded by tropical plants
and flowers, canopies supported by
carved oak posts, hammocks, a wire
netting to exclude cinders and, it is well
to add, railing TO surround the whole
garden. The effect upon the price of
tickets is not mentioned, nor is any plan
given for getting such cars under the low
tunnels and bridges over which Pullman
cars run. But when we consider how
far beyond possibility the vestibule train
itself would have seemed not very long
ago, who should dare scott at anything
Mr.. Pullman may suggest:

Henry Georgeism appears to be getting
a pretty strong foothold in Texas. The
single-tax men held conference down

but it is reported that action was taken
looking to the proposed amendment to
the constitution of the state providing for
abolIshing all taxes on personal property
and Improvements, and the leyying Of a

been signed by thousands, and the work

General Sherman is quoted as express.
ing the opinion that the rank of heuten-
ant-general should he revived for the
new military head of the army, but the
only aspect of the matter which he
seems to have had in mind was the
financial one. 1T is not fair" he is
reported as saying, Ito ask major
general, on his pay, TO live in Washing
ton as commander Very likely not.
BIT as the Hartford Courant suggests.
there Is another aspect of the matter. y
rank that has been held by Washington,
Grant, sherman and Sheridan should
not be cheapened. Itshould be jealously
reserved for the great soldiers of the
coming generations. Much better give
the MAJOR general commanding the army
extra pay and allowances by new act
of congress than make heutenant-gen-
eral of him simply because living at the
national capital IS expensive.

RIDICULOUS TENUITY.

| Notwithstanding the fact that Mr..
| Norton has declared that he was chosen
a director of Canadian railway without
even his knowledge, much less his con-
sent, and Notwithstanding the further
! fact that he promptly sent in his decli-
nation to serve as soon as he heard OF
| the selection, yet the mere organs con-
tinue to harg and howl about the mat
| ter as proof that the vice-presidential
| candidate of the Republican is connected
| by interests and sympathy with British
people and British institutions.
This is very thin Cruel to feed upon,
but it is fair sample of the principal
free trade diet.
1t will hardly have any perceptible
effect except upon the minds Of infants
and weaklings. 1t will not divert pub
lie attention from the fallacles OF free
trade or save the sinking fortunes Of the
Democratic party.
Nor will such silly babbling cause PEG
pie to forget that Mr.. Morton sent $780,
coo worth Of food to starving Ireland,
while Mr.. Thurman, who by the leading
Democratic papers is said to be worth a
round million, forgot to give a cent.
The less said by way Of comparing the
two candidates, the better for the free
trade party. Dir. Morton can safely
challenge comparison with Mr.. Thur
man on any public question.
For the free traders to talk about mil
lionaires with sheer at Morton. is more
ridiculous. MiIlionaires Brice, Scott,
Payne, Whitney, Havermyer and scores
OF others are managing the Democratic
campaign, and they have induced
even Jay Gould to again come
to the rescue as he did in 1884, with a
large sum of money TO elect Cleveland.
Mr.. Brice is man of sense. He begs
his party friends not to indulge in these
petty attacks upon the character of the
candidates, but to confine themselves 10
the discussion of principles.
Mr.. Brice has hard time Of it trying
to repress these shallow pated gamblers.
They must have their say and they dare
not get into discussion of principles,
because that is entirely outside OF their
baliwick. They must wade in shallow
water and mud because III deep pure
water they would be utterly helpless.

ARECIHEN OF MANKIND.
al. wheeler Wilcox Discusses the
Male Fiirt in an Article on Fhrt-
alton.
from the Washington Post

The male firt who "plays at court
hin" is a most refined and dangerous
'uaature. He leaves it to his less skill
s,l brother to pay the same compliments
| 20 each pretty girl he meets. He knows
,he fair sex too well for that. If all his
iadv loves meet and compare notes they
I'll find that he has never been guilty
Fl If repeating himself. He is original
.rd inventive, and suits his compliment
| 70 its recipient. 49,,
To the Young and sympathetic girl he
,olks much about "wasted life," and
ays he should have been different
man had her sweet sympathy came into
his life earlier, but there has never before
been anv one to stir his best impulse
and now it is too late"
To the religious young lady who
rearns to reform the world he hints
Sarkly of the sinful past which stands
/ ike an accusing spirit between him and
paradise which has just dawned upon
him.
To the heiress he takes vaguely Of
barriers which fate builds between 9
man 8 pride and his hopes of happiness.
He plays upon the emotions of women
As upon sIringed instruments. and the
lender strains he draws fourth amuse
and entertain him. The minor chords
are music to his ears, too, but when
thew become discordant he drops the
instrument, for he does not like to be
annoyed. Ills standard for women is
high, yet he is forever tempting her to
come down to the plains of folly. and
dispising her for her weakness if she
Yields. If crime and heart-aches follow
his footsteps he does not hold himself,
but the frailty of women, in fault.
The married male flirt is usually the
outgrowth of his own vanity. He is
like the old heather gods, who required
the fresh sacrifice of human life each
day to keep them in good humor. The
married woman firt is first the result OF
shusband's thoughtless neglect or indif-
ference. A woman Graves admiration or
appreciation as naturally as q flower
Graves the sunlight. If the flower does
not receive the sunlight through the
open window it will strain toward q
crevice in the open wall, even if 1t wsrps
itself out of shape in the effort. If the
light comes freely and generously
through the window it does not lean
toward the crevice, unless it springs
from deformed root.
