Campaign songs are now the rage
And in all ears they're ringing.
The rot, I'll VOW, is scared with age,
So l will cease my singing.
COLONEL SHEPPE wrote the following cam
paign song and telegraphed it TO QUAY:
BLAINE. BLAINE, BLAINE,
Maine. Maine, Maine,
Pain, pain, pain,
Slain. slain, slain-
Hi loo, hi loo, hi loo!
1t will soon be a week since last Sunday
Oblige u by thinking of that.

SAM ADAMS. be it known, has severed his
connection with this religious sheet as news
editor. A man who does not know when he is
dead, and tries to make out that il was some
one else. can't work here. The truth was with
SAMADAMs, the wish was father TO the thought
in the case of POLK. SAM tried to insure POLK
and failed because a rival company got the job.
SAM wanted to see his loathsome competitor
lose, and he imagined that POLK died instead
of himself.

THE government building which Dur

The fire boys want a few fires before
the Asheville convention-as they would

have EN-, and we're glad of it.
Luxury of Modern Railway Travel.
christian LEADER
A recent trip over the Royal Blue
Line, New York to Washington and re-
turn, impressed the writer most strongly
as to the wonderful possibilities regard
ing speed and luxury in railway travel
in America. Having been in nearly
every state in the Union and over a large
part Of Europe we are prepared to feel
ourselves acquainted with railway trans
portation thoroughly, and while in no way
failing to recognize the splendid service
furnished the public by the great railway
lines of America, the writer believes that
he is stating nothingtOo strongly in say
ing that in his judgement there is not a
service in the world, which taken as a
whole, will compare with the famous
Royal Blue Line, composed Of the Cen
trail railroad Of New Jersey, the Philadel-
phia and Reading and Baltimore and
Ohio railroads. Not only is the time
made between these points, via this line,
the quickest ever made between New
York and Washington, but with a road
bed that is simply perfect, and an equip
ment Sc luxurious as to leave nothing to
be desired, it furnishes no doubt the
finest service of any line in the world.
Every train via the Royal Blue Line is
vestibuled from end to end, and consists
not only of the most luxurious parlor
and sleeping cars ever made by the Pull
Ihdh dIdCO Val CoLhPdhy OUC dIoO VI
palatial day coaches far superior 10 the
parlor cars run on many lines, with
smoking compartments fitted up with
chairs and sofas, the same as in drawing
cars. Although the service is s o
superior and the time SO quick, on no
train are there any extra charges. To
those who desire Accommodations in the
drawing room or sleeping cars only the
regular additional charges are asked,
OF all of the trains vestibuled day
coaches are run open to the public with
out any extra charges whatever. The
dining car service attached to the
principal trains is in keeping with the
splendid character of the lines services
and the cuisine equal to the best hotels
of the country. 1t is nc wOnderthat the
Royal Blue Line has attained phenOme-
nal popularity, and it has not attained
its position by any other reason thar
that it deserved it. 1t is so incOmpara-
bly, superior to any service ever inaug-
urated between New York and Wash
ington that it would be surprising if the
public did not ~patronize it so literally
certainly no one who wants the best
should take any other, and when it is
considered hat for the finest service in
the worldno additional charges of any de-
scription are required, it should receive,
as it does, the endorsement and patron
age Of the public.
