I HG ) AT EST CARS.
Those Who Travel Most Always Like
the Heaviest Ones.

the heaviest ones.
Every commercial traveller has an
opinion of his own as to that position
which makes a car the safest one in
a train. Some of them hold that it is
the one next the baggage ear: the
maj0rity maintain that the center of
the train is the least dangerous, while
there are still individuals, in the
minority, to be sure, who favor the
rear car.
The opinions have been gained in
many instances from practical ex-
perienccs in railroad wrecks which
are, Of course, by no means inircquent
in certain sections OF the country AS
such they are entitled 10 considera ton,
but the disSim lar views really 90 to
show that the position of a ear in a
train as regards its greater or less
safely is n matter of speculation only
Upon one matter, however, all the
travelling men agree, and that is that
no matter what the position of the car
is, the safes. ones of al are the heavy
sleeping, parlor, buffet cars and the
like. They are co nnonly referred to
by the drum nerS ''aS better than an
acc dent policy" There is every rea-
son for the holding this favorab bic
frames and trucks render their tcle-
scoping a difficult matter and they are
less likely to leave the rails in time
of a collision than other cars in conse-
cueECe of Their greater weight.

As Obstinate a. Anybody.

The president seems 10 be boss Of The
situation. Some Of his senators are
beginning to get weak III the knees
and are talking compromise with the
silverites. On Monday it was decided
to send a delegation TO him through
Mr.. Carlisle, to confer upon the terms
of the agreement. The Secretary OF
the Treasury met the committee with
the statement that he had a comInuni-
cation to make from the president who
had some advice to offer The president
wants to say to you that he would
advise you to accept no compromise
involving the continued purchase of
silver. That is all he desired me to
say"
The president Will have uncondi-
tioEal repeal or nothing, and by adopt
ing that course he can prove himself
just as ugly and obstinate as anybody.
Still it would be considered a high
crime to say that the president is using
his great powers to influence and di-
rect, and compel national legislation
But SO it seems to be,
