DIsAWING-ROOM SOLDIERS,
Tho "Coburgers" Must Work or Resign
from the Army.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Gen. Kolton,
the new adjutant general, is not quite
warm in the saddle yet, but if reports
about the war department are correct he
is preparing an unpleasant surprise for
the favorites who for so many years have
had "soft billets," in army parlance.
These pets Of the gilded circles Of the
capital are called 'Coburgers." 1t is a
title we'll understood in military circles on
both sides of the water.
Gen. Kolton earned his spurs on the
frontier and has done his share of srInous
service. Sec. Proctor is sturdy Yankee,
who was in the army when the service
meant something, and who has little
sympathy for the favoritism which has
permitted so many officers to shirk their
duty. So the word in army circles is that
the "Coburgers" must go.
1t will be hard thing for some of
them. One social pet, it Is said, has not
been with his regiment for nineteen years
Sec. Proctor is said to be quite in accord
with the adjutant general, that the men
on the frontier should be given al oppor.

A Great Railroad.

Not long ago Mr.. George II. Daniels,
the general passenger agent Of the New
York Central & Hudson River railroad,
in extending an invitation to foreigners to
visit this country, directed their attention
10 the fact that the United States Of
America is the greatest country on earth,
peopled with GO,0O0,000 of the most civil
lied and enterprising people on the globe
that the New York Central railroad is
the greatest railroad on earth the only
fourtrack road in the world; that it is
started from the largest city on the con-
tinent, passed through the richest and
most prosperous region, touching the
largest cities in the interior is the great
trunk line and direct route to that great
cataract, Niagara Falls, and that in all
respects its reveals more of the resources
and riches OF America in less time, with
more safety, and under more luxurious
conditions than any other route. There
IS much in the above not only for foreign
ers, who want to see this country under
favorable conditions, but for our own
restless and moving people. The New
York Central & Hudson River railroad
is the outgrowth of luxurious and pros.
porous civilization and one of its greatest
engineering triumphs. As is well-known
it is the only line from the west to New
York that lands its passengers in that
city without ferrying them across the
North River. Its spacious and magnif-
cent station in the heart OF the city has
been for years not only the pride of New
York, but lasting monument to the
foresighted liberality ond enterprise of
that great organizer and founder of the
New York Central 4 Hudson River rail-
road system, Commodore Vanderbilt.
The limited trains Of this line are the fin
est in the world, and its general accom-
modations for the travelling public are only
known and appreciated by that large
portion of it who have been over the line
and enjoyed them, Detroit Free Press.
