cord has placed him anywhere but III

Hon. y. w. Smith to any man who has
nothing except his war record TO recon
mend him. Not that we do not honor
the Odd soldiers, but because we are get
ting tired of this everlasting howl of
war record TO the utter seclusiOn of
issues that are of vital interest to the
masses of the people. We honor the old
soldiers FOR the services they rendered,

not what is needed i'm politics to-day: il
the real live issues of the day that need

desire to benefit the masses of the PEG

Vestibu,e Trains to Chicago.

The vestibule trains is new factor in
western railroad transportation. 1t is
claimed for these trains that on account
of their being connected by steel hoods
all danger of telescoping in case of acct
dent is removed, the train being prac-
tically one long car. 1t is certain that
the oscillation of the cars is greatly red
uced, and it is also certain that the YES
thule trains afford the greatest comfort
yet known to travellers. The adoption of
this style of train by the Chicago, Santa
Fe & California Railway between Kan
sas City and Chicago is a strong bid for
the passenger traffic between the West
and Chicago. This new road is in many
particulars ahead of any of its older
competitors, and will undoubtedly be
the popular road to Chicago. so

The Ashland Journal has changed
hands, being now under the editorial
control and proprietorship OF Moore X
Stevenson. They intimate that the
former proprietors were compelled to
give up the paper because Of so many
broken promises ON the part of the
Ashland business men. We have an
idea that the real reason of the Jour
nails financial distress was because
there was no need or demand for the
paper in the FIRST place. The Herald
aud Clipper were two very creditable
newspapers before the Journal was
started; they represented the two polit-
ical parties and were both established
