the ALE LINE RAILROAD.


The San Francisco papers have been
full Of the proposed Air Fine Railroad
across Nevada for the past week or two.
The main tenor Of these articles is that
leading San Francisco capitalists have
taken hold Of the enterprise with deep
earnessness. The SENTINEL gave almost
as much about the scheme q month ago
as is now given by the City press. We
do not profess to have full inside infor'
nation, but we are inclined TO think that
the San Francisco papers are painting
the prospects Of q competing road in the
immediate future altogether too bright.
Up to this hour there is nothing certain
about IL, though il is an encouraging cir.
cumstance that capitalists have been at
tracted to the proposition at all; for it
must not be forsstten that San Francisco
is the meanest place on the globe in
which to raise money for . big undertake
ing. As 9 rule the heavy money bags OF
the city are missrs Of the most pro
nounced type. Mr.. A. c. Cleveland OF
this State has done very good work IN
getting money subscribed to even make
q survey. We hear that he has found
thirty men who have put in Sl,OOO .
piece for this purpose. Many OF them,
we fear, will never go any farther. The
necessity Of q new survey is not entirely
apparent, since the line has been run out
by various parties. However, q begin
ming is something. and every great enter.
prise must have q beginning. The situa.
tion Is to the new road seems TO be about
this: Thirty men have put up $4,000
for 9 survey and to gather information
about the probable cost and other mat
ters connected with the proposed road.
No company has yet been formed. II
the investigation proves satisfactory one
will be organized in due time. There
are some good and strong names on Mr..
Cleveland's list of contributors for the
preliminary work, There is the nucleus

pany if they can only be brought to the
point Of putting their shoulders to the
wheel with a determination to see the
thing through. But that phase Of the
case has not yet been reached. There
can be no question that San Francisco
and Salt Lake are abundantly able to
make q bold and vigorous start from
each end at the same time. and then
with the Nevada subsidy and the sale Of
bonds the funds might be raised to COM
plete the whole work in two years.
About the most that can be said for the
enterprise at this writing is that it looks
we'll and holds out more promise Of sue
cess than ever before.

srra,sHrFoRwARD TALK.

The Denver Rocky Mountain News i'
edited by ex. Congressman Tom Pstter-
son. the abless Democrat and possibly
the ablest mar In Colorado. Tom Pat
terson is the man who presented the
solid silver gsyel TO the st. Louis Con-
yention that nominated Cleveland IN
1855. and stood up for Grover all through
the campaign. Cleveland never had the
slightest appreciation Of these things,
and never as much as said to Patterson,
&" thank you for your kindness. but
continued TO kick silver down the hill
at every opportunity and as often as he
could make opportunities. Tom Patter-
son has had enough Of Cleveland, as Is
shown by the following article which np'
peared as q double-lesded leader in his
paper last Monday. The article is strong
and TO the point. 1t is addressed mainly
TO Democrats, telling them what to do In
the event that Cleveland or an equally
pronounced gold bug is nominated. 1t
says:
There are thousands Of Republicans
in Colorado who will not vote for Hsr-
risen and thousands Of Democrats who
will not vote for Cleveland. Yet, driven
from their own parties by nominees
wearing the yoke Of Wall street, they
will be disinclined 10 vote for the nominee
Of the Omaha Convention, who, though
sound on silver, will also represent 80
many issues that their Judgment cannot
assent to them"
II says: LET the Democrats in the
State conventions, if action at Chicago
shall force 1t, select electors pledged to
vote against Cleveland and for such free
coinage Democrats as Senator Morgan Of
Alabama and Congressman Bland OF Mis-.
souri,"
AS State Conventions are held after
the National Convention, it is in the
power Of the former. conventions to
choose only those electors who will vote
for a silver man, no matter who may be
nominated by the National Convention.
1t urges that this course be pursued
by Democrats of Colorado. California,
Montana, Wyoming, Iowa, Nevada,
Washington and Oregon; also by those
Of Kansas, Nebraska and certain South
ern States. By this course the integrity
Of the Democratic organizations will bs
preserved and the election for Presiden,
thrown into the the House, in which
event q free coinage candidate would ul-
timately be elected, and the free coinag'
sentiment produced by such a canvasI
would insure the election Of q free coin
age Congress. The course of the Cleve-
land contingent in New York is urged
as ample warrant for the regularity
The article closes as follows.
This dernier resort for free coinas,
men is worthy Of calm and earnest con
sideration. That this suggestion b.
passed over lightly the gravity of tn
situation forbids. That tens Of thou
sands who signed the pledge for a Silve
League look for some such practical plal
by which they may constitutionally an

Dainty Night Dress.

The prettiest thing in the way of robe
de mutt that we have seen in some time is a
dainty combination of white silk, valen.
ciennes lace and pale pink ribbon.
It is more in the nature Of charming
negligee rather than a dream robe. Princess
in shape, it is made with slight train, a
tiny ruffle of the silk, and two putfs just
above it adorn the edge. The back is made
with Vatican plat, and wide shirred
yoke and high collar give it very graceful,
swan-like appearance, even minus the fair
wearer. The sleeves are full and finished
with two puffs and tiny ruffle, the same as
on the skirt. Down the front fun jabot OF
the lace falls in graceful folds, and here and
there the delicately tinted ribbon nestles in
the filny trimming. Bows of the same are
on the inside of the sleevesand sash effect
is produced by long ends starting from the
plat in the back and lying in large graceful
loops in front.

Women ms Doctors.

Until a generation ago a woman
doctor was hardly known within the
circle of the regular medical profess
sion, and they were looked upon in
every community as charlatans OF
cranks. The prejudice against them
entering the medical profession was
almost universal, and the, prejudice
of women against their own sex in
profession for which they should be
specially fitted and In which, accord
ing to the Philadelphia Times, they
are specially needed, was even more
profound than the same prejudice
among the sterner sex. But steadily,
although slowly, public sentiment has
advanced to accord to women the
obviously Just right of entering any
of the professions, and women now
practice both law and medicine in
every section of the country.
The progress of the age in adyanc-
ing women to their just rights in the
battle of life was impressiycly illus
trated in the Academy of Music re.
Gently, when AZ young women appeared
upon the stage as graduates of the
Women's Medical College of Phila
delphia with their fairly won titles
of doctors of medicine. 1t is crafty.
ing to know that this college has been
in existence for forty years, but it il
only within the last score of years
that it has been able to present any
thing approaching graduating class
respectable in numbers. Now women
practitioners are not only known but
respected in almost every community,
and the success they have attained in
the profession more than justifies the
great battle that was fought to win
for them open doors to distinction
IN the profession.
1t will seem strange to the readers
of history half century hence to
learn that women were excluded from
the professions of the country until
even after the noontide Of the nine;
teenth century, for there is little
reason to doubt that in much less
than half century, women
will fairly divide the medical
practice with their professional
brethren, and men physicians,
in the many cases in which
every consideration of delicacy should
prefer woman physician, will be
quite as uncommon as women were
generation ago. The world moves.
