A Gigantic Railroad Deal.

New YORK, November S.-The i'm
preston on Wall street Is very strong
that there is big deal in prospect in
which the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
and Richmond Terminal Company are
the central figures. Rumors of this kind
have been in the air for some time. At
first the reports were that the Rich
mond Terminal had concluded to buy
the controlling interest, or the Garrett
interest, in the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad
John H. Inman, president of the
Richmond Terminal, said that there
was no truth in the stories afoat. Ed.
ward +. Lauterbach. Of the Richmond
Terminal board of directors, confirmed
Inman's statement. but he admitted
that it might be possible that a traffic
agreement between the two companies
might some day be made.
The rulnors took wider range, and
the report was that Austin Corbin was
considering plan whereby the Read
ing, Jersey Central, Baltimore and
Ohio, Richmond Terminal, and Ohio,
Indiana and Western railroads might
be brCuy yht into closer relationship, il
not actually under one management
Under this plan, as formulated, the
Reading is to buy the Garret interest,
and thus the control Of the Baltimore
and Ohio, and was to issue collateral
trust bonds.
Mr.. Corbin is at present in Philadel.

4 Born Politician.

\ labor orator tells this story:
"A farmer had Il son who showed no
special aptitude for business, and he
was puzzled what to do with him. He
concluded to try III experiment, 50 he
locked the boy in Il room in which
there were only Il Bible, an apple and Il
dollar. \ few minutes later he stole
quietly to the room. He made UP his
mind that if he found the boy eating
theapple he would nallca good farmer;
if nc were reading the Bible Ii" should
be trained for the pulpit, and if ne had
taken tie money Ills ,riccr>> aS Il bro

The question is often asked why ed
ucatcd young men do not succeed us
we'll IN obtaining employment us do
boys who have grown up in trade, AID
received their education and experience
along with the hard knocks commonly
called getting the eye teeth cut"
That the fact, as thus stated, is true
cannot he denied. The precise reason
would, perhaps, be hard to find, but
there are many things which the mind
recurs to at once as having Il bearing
on the subject.
First, college-bred young men are
without experience ON the practical
side Of life. The pushing, alert busi-
ness man is not particularly impressed
with the value of u college degree in
forecasting the market or determining
the value of LOB lots" because he
knows business is not 4 theory ut all, but
hard fact. Then, too, collcgians often
give themselves superior airs, which
do not 60 down with their associates,
the majority of whom have received
honorable seals in their fight with cir
cumstances, and have tenderness for
carpet knights. Moreover, the i'm
pressionable and formative period of
life having Gcen spent in the school
room, they have not acquired that
alertncss, that power 70 grasp Il busi-
hess situation Or problem and Instantly
solve it. Nothing il their school
books taught them the shreWd, watch
ful- readiness competition makes neces-
sary. Their refined mental discipline
is almost useless, and at once upon en-
tering the field of trade they find
they have 4 great deal to unlearn.
1t is not to be denied that three dol
lar clerkslip and the slow, painful
climb to business manhood must seem
insulting to u young fellow who can
toss Oft Greek hcXameters on call, or
deliver an Grafton on Ciceronian Latin.
We are far from denying the value OF
academic training to the professional
man, but the trldcsInun's requirements
are different.
Take the young fellow who LEFT
school as soon as he had mastered the
rule Of three, and entered upon the
struggle for existence. His mind wls
open to all inpressiOns-he learned
business without knowing he was
learning, as Il child learns to talk.
He has formed business habits uncon-
sciously. His mind WAS moulded to
alertness, rapidity of thought, promp-
tltude of action, the requirements OF
business character. Let us illustrate.
Take 4 little fellow Of eight or nine
years, brought up in L weIl-rcgulated
home, and place him beside the street
Arab, bootblacS, or new>boy. On the
score OF mental activity and practices
knowledge and shrewdness, the latter
will run him to cover in two minutes.
Docs not some such difference exist
between the educated young man and
the one to whom business has been a
matter Of daily life since early youth,
which makes employers prefer the
latter: Is there not some way of COM
blning an intellectual with practical
business training which will inure to
the benefit fall concerned? We have
no desire to discourage intellectual anu
bition, but the majority of mankind
must work for their living, and the
time to receive the necessary training
for that work must, to accomplish the
best results, be commenced in youth.

Longevity of Locomotives.
Texas SiftingS. !

The average age of locomotives is
about II years, yet many, through
habits Of living, taking their meals
ragularand avoiding all Intoxicating
beverages, attain quite respectable old
age. The oldest running engine in
Germany has been on the road since
1915, and is consequently 43 years old
quite Methuselah in fact. With re-
gard to its habits, it has always con-
fined itself strictly to water, though it
has been addicted to smoking all its
life. 1t is sad tosee locomotive grown
prematurely old by running all night.

assists with just enough shrewdness to
half disguise their ultimate purpose;
when it abandons politics, in the same
Sense, and makes itself an engine for
the propagation Of a theory-in short,
when it goes in for an educational can
vass, somebody is bound to be educated.
That is what happened yesterday.
The great mass Of the Democracy,
sound to the core, loyal as ever to the
essential and eternal truths Of its creed,
hopeful even in defeat, and courageous
and unshaken this dismal November
morning, is the victim of the educa-
tional campaign. It has been educated
with a vengeance, and at a tremendous
cost. It has learned its lesson, and is
not likely to forget the same.
For ourselves, we have done what
we could to check the folly Of the past
twelve months. We have seen very
clearly the event to which it tended. In
good faith and with a single view to
the party's interests, we have incurred
some of the peculiar gratitude that is
the reward of the friend who speaks
the truth, of the counsellor who had
rather be misunderstood than mislead.
That is all right. That was to be ex-
pected, and it was expected. But it
seems to us that we have earned the
privilege of speaking plain words this
morning.
But there Is no need that the plain
words should be bitter; nor is it time
just yet to write the list Of the archi-
tects of disaster. The Democratic
party's face is toward the future, and its
watchwords are Courage and Hope!
TAMMANY WAS TRUE.
Augusta Chronicle.
There is no regret felt over the COM
plete victory won by Tammany Hall in
New York City, when We remember
the handsome majority given Cleve-
land there. The "kid glove element,
as the mugwumps in Brooklyn were
called, refused to vote for the President
this year, but the straight-ont, dyed in
the wool Democrats in New York gave
President Cleveland a backing such
that nothing except tidal wave from
interior New York could have over
come. Tammany has elected its Gov
ernor, Mayor, Congressman, and city
and county officers throughout. All
the New York papers, mugwumps in
cluded, concede that Tammany pulled
straight and toted fair.
