Revenue From Fine Cars.

President Roberts, of the PENNSYLVANIA
railroad, is quoted in the Pittsburg Dis
patch as saying that railroad fares are
much higher than they should be, yet
they cannot be reduced because the
rich people demand luxurious methods of
travel, making the cost of train very
heavy"
If it is the rich people who demand the
luXuries and make the trains costly, it
seems that they ought to be the ones to
pay the cost. But they are DOT, according
to Mr.. Roberts. For few dollars more
than the regular fare they travel in lux
uriOus cars that carry only few people,
and have at their beck and call corps
of servants to do their bidding, at the
same time. II is the people who ride in
the ordinary ears and coaches who really
maintain the road S passenger earnings. ="
The people who are crowded into half a
seat each in its ordinary coach. because
they cannot afford to'pay for chair in n
parlor car or a berth in a sleeper are. ac-
cording to Mr.. Roberts. actually helping
TO pay for Injuries to be enjoyed by some
body else.
If the fares of the wealthy passenger
could be raised, says Mr.. Roberts, then
the other fares could be lowered" At
the same times he fails TO saw why the
fares of the rich passengers, who travel
ia palaces on wheels, cannot be raised.

WHY the President is Firm.

If the unconditional repeal of the pur-
chasing clause Of the Sherman silver law
should not be productive of as much bene-
fit to the business OF the country as is eX-
pected the business men will willingly
bear whatever blame there may be for the
repeal. They have insisted upon uncondi-
tional repeal They believe that reTeal
will be followed by a revival OF business.
1t was in response to their appeals that
the President called congress together,
and never for a moment have they been
willing to accept anything except uncOn-
ditional repeal
Only few days ago the trade bodies of
st. Louis, in strong terms appealed to
Senators Vest and Cockrel, of Missouri,
to stand aside and let the repeal bill pass,
and Senator Harris, of Tennessee. no later
than the early part of last week, received
from his Nashville constituents evidence
that he was losing his hold upon his state
by threatening to tiibuster against the
repeal bill.
The southern anti-repeal senators de-
cided to abandon flibustering tactics be-
cause they became convinced that they
were not representing the people of their
respective states on the silver question.
They would never have yielded had they
felt the people were sustaining them.
They saw they were without support,
and so reluctantly decided to wheel into
line and support the policy of the Presi-
dent
The President has been confident all
along that repeal would win, because
from all parts Of the country he received
information to the effect that the people
want unconditional repeal. He would
rather have the repeal bill defeated than
have it loaded with conditions that would
virtually destroy the effect of repeal He
has been firm because he believes he is
right, and because he has the people with
him

The Assaasination Of nravor Harrison.

The Assassination of Mayor Harrison.
The assassination of Mayor Carter II.
Harrison, OF Chicago. is another H.
lusuation of the folly of permit
ting men known TO be hair-brained
cranks to go and come as they please,
merely because they are not considered
dangerous " Guiteau was not considered
dangerous" before he attacked and killed
President Garfield. Norcross was not
considered dangerous before he blew
himself to atoms in an attempt 10 kill
Russell Sage. There is too much care
lessness with regard to cranks. The cor
poration counsel of Chicago. knew Prem
ergast, the slayer Of the mayor, to be a
crankrwith his mind fixed upon the idea
that the mayor was to appoint him TO Of
flee, vet so far as is known he took no
steps to get the foolish notion out Of his
head The counsel's experience with
cranks and criminals should have taught
him that such a man with that idea fixed
IN his mind was a dangerous fellow, but
because the fellow was crank the coun-
sci did not think it worth while to talk to
him, or to have him locked up. Another
fact illustrated by the tragedy is that it
is foolhardy for public men in high posi-
'tiOns to leave their latch strings on the
outside TO all corners. Mayor Harrison
had no fear of crauks he imagined that
it added to his popularity to be approach
able by ybody at any time; he had conf
dence in himself. And he died because of
his lack of discretion. Thcdying mayors
last words, Give me watershed for An
ME- suggest the most pathetic part of
the story in connection with the tragedy
Annie is Miss Anna Howard, a New
Orleans lady to whom Mr. Harrison was
engaged to be married. On Friday even
ing he had authorized the announce
ment made in the newspapers that the
wedding would take place on Nov. Z, in
New Orleans, and within the same
twenty-four hours, it is thought, had
chartered a special train to bear himself
and friends on the happy journey. AS it
is, before his wedding day shall have ar
rived he will have made his last Journey
in a hearse.
