ALL the majesty of the Supreme
Court of the United States has been
brought to bear on the question wheth-
er railroad ticket, which ought to have
been stamped but was not, should have
carried the holder of it on the journey
he wished to make. AS a matter of
fact, it was not accepted as valid, the
man was elected by the conductor, and
brought suit for damages, which he
failed to win-and rightfully so in the
opinion of the Supreme Court. Travel
ers who think of neglecting the precau-
tion of getting their tickets stamped
when that process is called for will
please take notice.

IN 1864, when the late George H.
Pendleton was nominated for Vice Pres
ident, on the ticket with Mcclellan for
President, he was regarded as the most
promising, popular and "lucky" of Ohios
Democratic politicians. He owed his
decline and fall'' to the part he took in
the passage of the Civil Service bill in
the Senate. For that he was antagonized
by all the baser elements of the Ohio
democracy, and he never recovered his

A PARTIAL explanation of the rapid
increase in the population of Washing
ton and Oregon is found in the report of
General Passenger Agent Fee, of the
Northern Pacific, for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1S89 The road carried
AZ, 900 seeond-elass passengers to Wash
ington and Oregon for that period, or
an increase of 900 over the previous
year. Up to November 26 of the pres
ent year the records show an increase of
1,200 over the same previous time. Up
to June 80 there was an increase of 81 per
cent. in t-class travel over the previ-
Gus year. As Mr.. Fee does not say how
NOW many of these $4,000 second class
passengers returned, the presumption is
that most of them remained.

THE colored men of both North and
South will hardly accept the treatment
of the negro in some Southern States as
an argument in favor of the administra-
ton of those States. The fact that the
Governor of South Carolina has recon-
mended in his annual message to the
general assembly that the colored people
shall not be allowed to ride in railroad
cars with white people, is calculated to
make no colored man feel kindly toward
southern autocrats. The South Carolina
Governor thinks that they should have
separate cars.

inquiry whether it is practicable to have
free carpet wool and protected clothing
at the same time:
81 do not think it is possible, because
very large proportion of the so-called
carpet woods are suitable for both carpet
and clothing purposes. 1t is true there
are some woods that have not as yet
been improved enough to make them
suitable for clothing purposes, but the
proportion of these is decreasing every
year, and were such designated by name

EIGHTY acres of the most valuable
property in the busy manufacturing town
of Lynn, Mass, were swept clean by fire
last week. Eight thousand employees OF
shoe manufactures are thrown out OF
work. One hundred and sixty-four fam
lilies are homeless and penniless. The
fire was about the largest Massachusetts
has suffered during this century. Moth
ing could check the flames until they
reached the waters edge. The loss is
variously estimated, conservative
figure being $6,000,000.
