Sln:-Fo the benefit of travellers return
ing from Florida and points South, we,
the undersigned, passengers on train by
the Atlantic Coast Line, which is adver-
tised as daily Florida special" leaving
st. Augustine, ON Thursday, March 10, at
$40 u. m, beg TO state that the train Is not
what IL purports to be- We pay the max
imum price charged--thc highest fare de-
manded-a section on this train costing
S32, as against Sl2 ON the ordinary cN-
press, and are promised an observation
car, electric light, n modern dining car and
table equal to any iirst-class hotel"
Also, to again quote the company's adj
veftisement, "all the comforts, conycn-
fences and Injuries that can be obtained
at home" This Is the promise now
mark the performance. This train Is
composed of number of old-fashioned
and dirty cars, no observation car, n close
and cramped dining car, and table rs
bad as il well can be, both as regards food
and service. Instead of electric lights we
have murky kerosene lamps; the cars are
cold and poorly ventilated. In short, in
exchange for the highest price for the
promise OF every known modern conven-
fence of travel, we get every possible dis
comfort and the poorest food. We may
add that this so-called FLORIDA Special"
is largely advertised in circulars In our
possession to run daily (Sundays excepted)
from st. Augustine to New York so there
can be no claim that our poor accommoda-
tions are due to this being an extra train.

ADMIRAL BRAINE's SUCCESSOR.
Commodore Greer Said to he the Man
Captain MiIler's Time Exteu,let:.

From the N9,cYGrk-9'tnes, 2Ith.
AZ May 1S, the time for Rear Admiral
Braines retirement from the service
expectancy some inkling as to his success
sor in the command of the Brooklyn
Navy-yard. Yesterday most significant
news was given to a Times reporter by an
officer who is generally well informed.
He said that Commodore James A. Greer,
who is now President of the Board of Ex-
animation and Retirement, would be the
man.
Commodore Greer was selected for the
place il was said, because the other two
candidates, Captain Henry Erben and
| Captain Edward Il. Potter. have been
| promised other orders of very desirable
| nature. Captain Erben will go to the
| Sailors Home at Philadelphia, known in
| the navy as 'the White House," very
desirable post and Captain Potter, who IS
now governor of the Naval Home in Phil
adelphia, will take command of the re,
| ceiving ship Minnesota, lately commanded
ly Captain Gilbert G. Wiltse. This is also
a very desirable post and one that many
officers in high standing have applied for.
With Captain Potter and Captain Erben
| thus disposed of, Commodore Greer may
get the coveted navy yard command.
Greer is an Ohio man, who has been
in the service nearly forty-four years
During the war he took an active part in
We removal OF Mason and Sliiell from
the English steamer Trent, and subse
quently commanded the Carondelet and
Benton of Admiral Porter's squadron IN
the actions around Vicksburg. Fol
forty-five days of the siege of that city III
was almost constantly under fire. II
1878, with the steamer Tigress, he fount
the wreck of the famous Polaris at Lit
Teton Island, North Greenland. Fou
years ago he was appointed Acting Rear
station, and, since 1889, he has beer
president of various organizations and re
firing boards at Washington. Upon th
retirement of Rear-Admiral Braine, h
will stand first on the list of Commo
dores. Rear-Admiral Braine will, ii !
understood, move out of his presen
quarters in the Navy-Yard May 1, an,
take house in Brooklyn.
Another important point that was givel
out yesterday relates to the removal o
Captain j. n. Miller, who is now captain
Captain Miller's term of duty expires il
April. and several officers, it is said, hav
signiiied to the Department their aspira
tions in the direction of the prospectiv
vacancy. The name of Captain Theodor
+. Kane, now in charge of the Euuir
ment Bureau of the Brooklyn Navy Yard
has been most prominently mentione
until Yesterday, when the rumor cam
from Washington that Captain Miller
This is explained by the fact that tn
new commandant will feel the need of O.
assistant who is thoroughly familiar wit
the details of the yard, which makes
impolitic to remove both the senior OIL
GERS at once.

wAsnixerox, d. C., MARCH %, 1891.

In rHr NEWSPAPER comments on Gov
ernor NICHOLS letter to Mr.. BLAINE we
find some dissatisfaction here and there.
But what did these dissatisfied editors
expect Certainly not that Governor
NICHOLS would condemn the people of
New Orleans and JON in Mr.. BLtrNE's de-
nnnciation Of the massacre. He was not
called upon to do that, and perhaps,
would not have done il if he had been.
What he did was to write perfectly calm
and diplomatic note relating the facts of the
case, assuring Mr.. BLAINE that there was
no uprising against Italians as such, and
informing him that the action of the citi
zcns is now under consideration by the
proper authorities. He could not well 90
further and, very sensibly, he did not try
To. The fact that he refrained from any
expression of horror and Indignation is
10 be accounted for in several ways. Pos
sibly he was neither Mortified nor indig-
nant. Possibly he saw no occasion tn
bring his emotions into an official COM
munication to Mr.. BLAINE. Possibly,
dozen other things. But the coun-
try now knows that no Italians life
or property is in the smallest peril
because of his nationality. 1t also knows
that nearly, ii not quite, all of the cut
throats who got themselves lynched were
naturalized citizens. And IL has come to
the conclusion that Italy will have to put
mp with il anyhow. There Is no SYM
pathy in the United States for conspiracy
and assassination societies and no dispo-
sition to blame communities for protect
ing themselves against conspirators and
assassins. Excitement over the New
Orleans affair has almost entirely
subsided, save in the cases of few
noisy sympathZcrs who are probably
members of the Malta themselves, and,
therefore, interested in perpetuating that
remarkable organization. Even these will
have to bottle up their feelings H-they
want to continue in the, enjoyment of
robust health. Asfor the Italian Govern
ment, it is absurd to suppose that the King
or his Ministers are resentful of what hap
pened to the eleven Sicilians in New
= Orleans. HuMBERT Minister of Police had
been cooperating with Chief HEYNEssy for
a long time in securing evidence on which
To hang a number of the very men who
were afterward put to death, and was in
full sympathy with him. 1t was known
to the Government that New Orleans
swarmed with Italy's escaped criminals,
for some of the worst of them had been
traced there, captured there, and sent
back to be executed at home. There is
nothing in the alleged indignation 81
HuMEERT, and still less in the threats and
i. .,m9uthings of transpla2tteaa conspirators
and banditti. Respectable and law
abiding Italians, both here and at home,
are at heart thoroughly satisfied with
what has been done, and they are the
only Italians as to whose opinions we need
concern ourselves.

Nesey Knox, the Protestant member of
Parliament for East Cavan, and a gradu-
ate of Cambridge University, had this to
say about the virtue of the Irish people in
a recent speech, in a controversy which
has arisen owing to the O'Shea divorce
case; "The Irish people, the Irish peas
antry, have no need to advertise their
purity. If they did they might publish
comparative statistics of illegitimacy. OF
all the nations upon the face Of the earth
and this say because, as one who diff
fers in religion from the majority of the
Irish people ! can say it without its par
taking of the nature of a boast-of all ma
tons on the face of the earth the Catholic
peasantry of Ireland have the cleanest
record IN this matter; and IL there was
any nation that was entitled 10 throw the
stone il was they. Many things have
been reft of our people. Cruel laws and
cruel governments have taken from the
Irish peasant much of the worlds goods,
but there is one thing which no cruel law
has been able to take from our people
and that IS the Just pride and pleasure the
Irish peasant feels in the purity Of his
humble hume.h

in ANOTHER COLUMN of this issue of THE
CRITIC we reprint from the New York
Eoaing P0sta a protest, numerously signed,
against the so-called daily Florida
Special Our attention had been called
to-the matter previously by citizens of
Washington, but, on the assumption that
IL was an isolated case and would not
.ccur again, we refrained from any allu-
sion to it. This new complaint, however,
connected with other information now at
hand, persuades us that the abuse conf
planned of by Mr.. CoUDERT and his fellow
travellers IS encountered by everybody
who embarks on the FLORIDA Special"
This train is advertised rs splended vesti-
buled special, with smoking-room, library,
observation car, elegant dining-car, first
class restaurant and all the delicacies
of the season. As a matter of fact it is
not even high class ordinary train
There is no observation car, no smoking
ear, the dining car is dirty and uncomfort-
able, the service wretched, and the fare
worse. Instead of electric lights there are
oil and instead of luxury there is neglect
AMI hardship. And for all this very
heavy extra charge is made on the ground
that such oriental splendor and sybaritish
profusion come very high to the railroad
company. On the train which reached
here March II, bringing number of
Washington people two hours and half
late by the way,) all the bad features re-
ferred to in the Ego,ing Post were conspic-
uous. The passengers were allowed no OPP
portunity oget meals except in the alleged
,ining-car where everything was badly
cooked, badly served, inferior in quality
and inadequate in amount. A dollar was
charged in any and all cases. A sick lady
who wanted cup OF coffee was asked TO
pay dollar for IT, In short, the entire
trip, in all its aspects and accessories, was
"a disappointment and swindle. Nothing
was done that had been promised. Every
thing was bad and exorbitantly charged
for. 1t seems to us that the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, under whose auspices
this disreputable and eXasperating trick Is
operated, sheuld either interfere in behalf
of the travelling public or formally dis
claim all responsibility in the premises.
This company possesses and deserves the
confidence Of the people. Somebody Is
nsing its credit to exploit a swindle.

Caught His Death at Sherman's Fu-
neral.
From tie New York vond.


II is believed by many of General Joseph
i. Johnston's friends in this city that he
contracted the illness at General Sher-
mans funeral which resultedin his death,
which, of course, revives in everybody's
mind the old tradition that funerals are
great breeders of funerals and that the
medical director" of whom we hear at
times in the newspapers would be admira-
bly, in place on such occasions If he went
along to see that the pall-bearers did not
expose themselves to the elements with
an unnecessary show of reverance, which
is direct invitation to othegrim destroyer.
Johnston was warm personal friend and
admirer of Sherman, and these two of the
last of the picturesque old landmarks of
the War of the Rebellion have gone hence
almost together. General Sherman is
said never to have recovered from the re-
vulsion of feeling with which he received
the intimation that President Harrison
fatty refused to grant his request that
General Joseph j.. Johnston should be
continued as railroad commissioner in
The position to which President Cleveland
had appointed him.
