FREE TRADERS UNHAPPY.

Why They Object 10 tho Appointments q
Census Superintendent Porter.
The free traders object to Mr.. Porter
for superintendent of the eleventh

That is, he is an American and pro
tectionist If these be faults the
American people will condone them.
r P. Porter was born in England and
imbibed free-trade notions naturally.
Becoming a citizen of the United
State, he brought no half-hearted
allegiance to his adopted country, nor
purpose to fight from his new vantage
grounds for the interests OF Europe.
Therein he differed from good many
foreign-born residents and citizens.
The difference was in his favor with
Americans.
The free traders lament that a pro.
tectionist is to have charge of the
census, which ''has grown to be the

The motive OF the free trader is
manifest, and his purpose will not

wise selection for superintendent Mr..

An Ex-Braken.sn Tells How Railroad

There is a striking contrast in tho
mode in which railroad officials travel
nowadays from the modest way in
which their predecessors went Srer
their lines thirty or forty years ago.
Nov the president and many OF the
other officials of every railroad in the
country have their private palace cars.

trips, without them. Thirty years ago

passenger train on the Pennsylvania
railroad. As the train was filing up
at the Philadelphia depot one morning,

respective coaches, when a tall man,
wearing a white hat, whom did not
know, stepped up to the train to 60

he quietly took his seat There was
one coach a little more finely finished
than the others that was used
as the ladies' car, but did not put the
tall man in it. A few minutes later
