in his oratory. He is quick and

Mr.. Bland has been a member Of
the House for more than twenty
years. Before he came to Washing
ton he had practiced law in Missouri
and before that he had been a resi-
dent of Utah, Nevada and California
and interested in mining. ''My in
terest in public finance did not begin
until I came to Congress-" said he.
Il had studied political economy, but
not financial matters especially.
When / first came to Congress the
financial question was overshadowed
by sectional and war issues. [ be-
came actively connected with the
silver question in the Forty-fourth
Congress. 1t was then first discov-
cred that the suspension of silver
coinage had been enacted in 1873. A
bill for the deposit Of bullion was
sent to the Committee on Mines and
Mining, of which I was chairman, by
Gen. Banks, of Massachusetts. It
provided for the deposit of gold and
silver bullion and the issue of certifi-
Gates. These were not made legal
tender: but the authors OF the bill
thought that they would go into cir
culation something like certified
checks. Out of that bill we made a
free coinage measure. That was the
commencement of my connection
with the financial question. I have
given it much study ever since"

FIRST OF THE DINING CARS.
Said to Have Been Improvised in 1853
from an Ordinary Day Coach.

Said to Have Been 1mprov1sed In 1868
from an Ordinary Day Coach.
A great deal OF dispute has arisen
at different times concerning the first
dining cars and when they were first
used and on what roads. The Pitts
burg Post gives the following as hav-
ing been derived from man who is
represented as well-known electri-
clan and chemist, but whose name,
unfortunately, is not given. The
first dining cars run in this country,
or any other for that matter, we're
run between New York and Chicago
via the Northern Central, Grand
Trunk and Michigan Central in the
year 1853. The officers of these diff
ferent companies met in New York
in the spring of that year, and among
other things discussed was the feas-
Utility of running dining car over
the connecting lines, especially on
one train known as the lightning ex-
press, which ran between New York
and Chicago. Trains as fast as this
one were compelled to make two
stops for meals while making the run
one at Marshall's, the other at
Jackson, twenty minutes for each
meal, making forty-one minutes of
valuable time lost.
After discussing the question for
some time it was finally decided to
try it. The seats were taken out of
the ordinary coach and tables put
along either side, with stools fastened
to the floor, giving it the appearance
of restaurant. The rear half of the
baggage car was fitted up to answer
the purpose of kitchen and there
the cooking was done. Some trouble
was experienced In bringing the food
from one car to the other, and when
crossing the platform the cinders
would rain down on the headxof the
waiter and into the dishes he was
carrying. Sometimes the waiter in
trying to hurry across the platform
would strike the side of the door
with his tray, spill the dishes and
narrowly averttfaning.from the train
himself. The first advancement was
made in the walters, the company
after awhile being very particular to
get those of certain color, all Of
about one size and good looking. The
car was a success from the start,
meals being so cents each. The

IT is customary for English news
papers and magazines to sheer at
what they are pleased to term the
recklessness of American newspapers
in their statements of fact. These
filings may be warranted in some in
stances, but no American newspaper
makes mistakes in geography which
could be avoided BY looking into a
gazetteer or an atlas. A recent num-
Der of the Pail Mall Budget, a cheap,
popular illustrated London weekly,
speaking of the yacht Navahoe, which
has been participating in the Cowes
regatta; declares that "the name
Navahoe is that of an American
state" This is nothing unusual,
however, for the Budget, which a few
months ago announced that Utah
was the only one of the American
states" that had refused to issue
paper money! AS the Budget is one
of the most persistent and malevolent
critics of the United States it is
evident that a thorough course of
American geography and history
would be of use to the members of it's
staff
