THE RAILWAY PROBLEM.

Mr. L. S. Coffin, an Iowa farmer, has
an elaborate criticism of what Mr. Charles
Francis Adams and Prof Seligman say
on this subject, in the Railway Review,
from which we make few extracts:
Why did not Mr.. Adams, who has had long
experience of 20 years" in railway work, point
out the bottom rock and ledge on which so much
disaster and wreck has come and is still to come
to railway property in this nation? He, of all
men, ought to know what they are. The pro-
fessOr should know and in very few words so
have informed Mr.. Hudson. 1t could all have
been stated in one short sentence, viz: The sup
ply is greater than the demand. In other words,
there are more railroads than the business of the
country demands, and we are now passing
through the crisis inevitable in such cases-a
struggle Tor the survival of the fttest" Here
is the rock on which we founder.
No, Mr.. Editor, there is no immediate help for
the present difficulties the railways of the coun
try are laborng under The results of bad in
vestments must be suffered in railway matters as
well as in any other direction. 1t is strange
that so few the utter folly of thinking that
legislation ls The great cure all
But seriously, we are facing one of the most
interesting and important crisis in the whole
history OF tue railway problem. In word, it
is "A fight for existence Can any legislation or
legalizing Of pools help the matter ? think not.
There is an over production of transportation
The course OF events must follow The same law
rs in an over production Of corn or beef AS is at
the present time with us farmers. This over
production OF transportation is not only an injury
TO those who produce it, but also to hose who
it. In this il differs from farm over prOduc
ton. At least for the time being the producer is
the sufferer, the consumer is benefited ju-t now
in the end all suffer from the genera stagnation
of business
If Legislation is needed to cure some OF the
evils we suffer, let il begin at the beginning and
allow no road to be built until an able AMI tiisin-
tcrcsted commission decides ii to be ncces-

AMERICAN Psychological SOCIETY.

At the last meeting of the American
Pathological Society, held in Boston, they
unanimously accepted an invitaricn from
the Florida Horticultural Society to hold
the next meeting in this state. Sanford
was selected as the place Of meeting, and
February 9th as the date, but owing to
lack Of time for suitable preparation the
date has been postponed until the Goth
of February, and at the request Of the
Florida Society the place Of meeting has
been changed to Ocala, the session to
continue for three days.
Extensive preparations are being made
by the citize:is Of Ocaa for the reception
OF their guests The announcement of
the society's intention to meet in Florida
has been received with enthusiasm by all
pomologists, and indications are that
there will be handsome exhibits from
every State in the Union, also from the
British Provinces
Among the attractions offered by the
enterprising citizens Of Ocala is the Semi
Tropical Exposition, the commodious
buildings of which are rendered for the
use of the Society.
The Society offers, no premiums for
exhibits of fruits, but several special
prizes will be offered by the Florida Hor-
ticultural Society. An attractive pro-
gram is being prepared and will be pub
lished later.
All Florida should arouse and make
extensive exhibits, as this will be one of
the best opportunities ever offered for
advertising the attractions and produc-
tions of our fair state Exhibits should
be addressed, freight or express charges
prepaid, to J. O. Clark, Ocala, Fla.
AT Tallahassee, Thursday the 81 inst, the
Railroad Commission established The old rates of
eight.
We find the above in number of Flor
ida papers. The statement that "the
Commission established the old rates of
freight is misleading. The facts are
i"i''"""o "oio uioIcSaIuhS lho rates eS-
tablished by the Commission, and during
the hearing of the case Of the orange
growers against the railroads, the rail
road managers announced that they
would observe the rates presG Rbed by
the Commission.

The SpdrrOW Pest.

The English Sparrow is becoming
a greater nuisance in McMinnville
every year, and if war is not made
upon them soon in some effective
manner, they will take the town. A
writer in a recent number of the
New York Tribune makes out a
strong indictment against this little
pest, and urges a wholesale warfare
upon the tribe, suggesting poisoning
as the most efficaciOus and satisfactO-
~ mode of determination. He gives
the following formula for poison as
coming from reports of the United
States Agricultural Department:
Dissolve arseniate of soda in warm
water, at the rate of an ounce to q
pint; pour this upon az much wheat
as it will cover lin a vessel which
can be closed so as to prevent evapo-
ration and allow it to soak at least
twenty-four hours. Dry the wheat
so prepared and it is ready for use,
Three kernels of this will kill. Win
ter is the best time for operations.
Other birds are then absent and spar
rows are hungry, alighting in tiocks
in the streets after passing teams and
along railroad tracks, where grain is
scattered from wagons and cars.
Here poisoned wheat may be admin
istered with wholesale destruction to
them and little danger of harm to
anything else. If an occasional pig
con or chicken that has no business
abroad should suffer, it is compare
lively of little consequence. If the
great evil is to be abated at all, it
must only be required that it be done
with the least practicable injury and
inconvenience.

stood in the middle, facing the
audience, and the officiating clergy
men in front of them. The ceremony
was performed by the Rev. G. T.
Stainback, father of the groom, and
an old citizen of Memphis, though
now of McMinnville, Tenn, assisted
by the Rev. H. A. Jones, pastor of
the church. The ceremony was beau
tiful and most impressive. The Of
floating clergyman spoke feelingly-
his soul was in his words. In hand
ing the ring to the groom he said:
"This ring is perfect circle. 1t has
no beginning and no end, and is
therefore fit emblem of eternity.
May the love, the confidence and the
trust which you have mutually re-
reposed in each other be as lasting as
that eternity which is symbolized by
this ring"
AT the conclusion of the ceremony,
the Rev, III. A. Jones offered up a
fervent and eloquent prayer, at the
conclusion of which and while
murmurs of admiration mingled
with the inspiring music, the bridal
party filed out of the church. They
were followed by the vast concourse,
1000 people or Observation-Disclosures
out into the darkness of the night,
made luminous by the light of
unseltish love, and followed by the
earnest hopes and heartfelt desires OF
all for long life of uninterrupted
bliss.
At the residence of the brides
parents, on Jones avenue, the young
couple received the congratulations
Of a number of personal and family
friends. A world of costly and beau
tiful bridal presents were strewr
around. A spread of choice viands
was prepared and the guests re.
manned until a late hour.
The ushers were Messrs. p. CLARK

Muchly Governed.

Nashville Herald.
How to get rid of a surplus of gov
errors is the prominent question of
the day in West Virginia. The state
now is blessed with three. The legis-
lature failed to count the vote for
governor, and Gov. Wilson claims he
holds over, Golf, republican, claims
he was elected, and Carr, as presi-
dent of the senate, claims that under
the law he is entitled to act. All
have taken the oath of Office, and
each notified the other of his. as
sumption of the official duties. The
end is not yet, aud West Virginia is
entitled to the sympathies Of the ma
ton.

marriage of Mr.. Benjamin NJ. Stain

ing forward, anxious to witness the
happy event, until scarce space
enough was left in which to move.
The organ, that had been discoursing
lively airs, changed for moment to
a soft, sweet symphony and all eyes
were turned toward the door, expect
ing the bridal party. They were
soon gratified. Eight usbers, in
couples, marched down the aisle, fol-
lowed by the bridegroom and his fair
bride. The whispering melody of
the organ changed and burst forth in
to loud and joyous peals as the party
entered. Four ushers (there were no
waiters) took their places on either
side of the altar. The bridal couple
