Fuld, threatened that unless the Missouri
psciae restored passenger rates to Colo
fadO points, the Atchison would put on q
q rate from Chicago to Galveston in re-

Atehison people denied that any suoh
e'ler was written or any such threat
made. At any rate, tho rates between

Rumored Changes,

1t is reported in railroad circles here
that there will soon be a number of
changes made on the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas, both in and out of Texas
but from all accounts it appears that
nobody is going to be hurt much on this
part of the line. Several of the boys
now holding down minor stations Will it
is said, take jump up to more impor-
tant stations, and one very clever official
with headquarters in Fort Worth, will
probably be transferred to a more desira-
BILE position in st. Louis. The "Katy'
boys in this city are all tip-top GENTLE
men, and their friends will rejoice at any
time to hear of their advancement.

THE NEW oomnINAr1on

The Atchison Becomes by Far the Largest
Railroad System in the World
The acquisition of the st. Louis and
San Francisco by the Atehison makes the
latter by far the greatest railroad system
in the world. The Atchison proper owns
and leases 1923 miles of road already,
and the st. Louis and San Francisco viii
add to that l441, making 1864 in all. 1t
requires only a cursory glance at the
map to see that the combination is a
natural one. The systems work to-
gether, giving the Atchison an en-
trance into st. Louis and putting
it on an equality with the Missouri
Pacific. 1t also strengthens its po-
sition in the Southwest, where, though
its lines are not directly competitive with
those OF the Gulf, Colorado and Santa
Fe, they come close enough that cutting
OF rates by one would force similar &C
ton upon the other. The details of the
consolidation must necessarily be some
what complicated. 1t involves the Dor
rowing of more money, but the deposit
of the stock will be ample security, and
arrangements can be made for the plac-
ing OF q further issue of the Atchison
generals, when an opportunity is af-
forded for rsfunding. The capital stock
Of the st. Louis and San Francisco,
originally very heavy to the mile, has
been steadily diminishing, owing
to the construction of extensions ana
branches, without any increase in the
issue of stock. The doing away with the
joint ownership OF the Atlantic and Pa
ciho is also very fortunate thing for
the Atchison. AS long as it did not con-
troll he
there was chance for interference, TO
the injury of the Atchisou, in the man
agsment of the Atlantic and Pacific. We
think there is no possible chance of the
financlsring of the consolidation in a way
that will not add much to the value of
all Glasses of securities affected Wall
Street News.

Under this system the number OF pollti-

tained at the expense Of the state, which by
tho terms OF the law must print the tickets

cratic. II the leaders Of the Democracy are
alive to the opportunity which the new law
presents, and to the Importance OF the tasks
which are imposed by ii, they will not fail to
encourage the establishment Of local organ
izations, which will be OF great aid to the
Democracy in It's future contests.
It is entirely fair to say that had the Re-
publican managers known what would be

An interesting lawsuit has just been de-

Messrs. CADIEuI Il DERoMB. booksellers OF
Montreal for breach OF contract II appears
that they engaged to import Q certain edition

to carry out the contract on the ground that
some OF the works called for. especially Notre-

immoral in their character and condemned by
the CONGREGATION dc Finder; and they claimed
that as they made speciality OF selling books
authorized by tho Church, they could not be-
forced to deliver an edition OF works prohibit
ed by the Church.
This defence was considered unsound by
Judge DAVIDSON. who decided that the eccle-
slastioal authority OF any Church whatever
could not affect civil contract. That WAS
matter that belonged exclusively to the civil
law. The Church had no power to annu q

A JacksonIan Democrat.

As the successor OF SAMUEL J. RANDALL,
the Democrats OF the Third district Of Penn
sylvania have nominated the Hon. RICHARD
VAUx; and they will elect him.
Because Mr. VAUx, who Is n courtly gen.
tleman and Democrat OF the old school,
once danced a ngadoon or something with
Queen VICTORIA, 1t does not follow that he
now dances to the tune OF British free trade.
"Mr. VAUx will go to Congress and see that
the interests OF this district are protected"
sAld Squire McMUIIEN In seconding the
nomination; and probably the lifelong friend
is talking about.
Concerning this veteran Democrat, who
was a delegate fifty years ago to the Ma
tional Convention that renominated MARTIN
VAN buren, for the campaign in which the
grandfather OF tho present President OF the
United States bore SO conspicuous part,
nothing that Is not pleasant Is said. He Is
strong partisan, and that means that he Is
strong Democrat. His personal character is
described by Mr. CH1LDss newspaper in
compliment as fine as was ever pronounced
by q political opponent. Neither In private
Life nor In public life" says the Philadelphia
Ledger, us there man OF purer probity OF
character than RICHARD VAUx. While 1t
may be doubted whether any person ever
heard him repeat the now trite saying that
"a public Office Is public trust he has
illustrated his faith In 1t by his work In adj
ministering an unsalaried, highly RESPONSE
BILE public office for more than thirty years
as faithfully and efficiently as ever any pri-
vate trust could be administered"
The long and short Of the matter Is that
the Democrats OF the Third district have
nominated Mr.. VAUX neither as a protec-
ZIONIST nor as free trader, neither as a |
Chinese crank nor ballot crank. but as a |
Democrat. In other words, they have got |
together. If the Democracy of the United
States follow this example two years hence,
tho successor of BENJAMIN HARRISON will |
be Democrat
