We must have more of the sense of
beauty and aesthetic fitness entering into
our domestic, civic and national life.
The present municipal officers of our
different American cities care but little
about it, The condition of our Ameri
can streets was the occasion of the most
caustic comment from foreigners during
the Worlds fair period. Between ele-
giant blocks of buildings, on finely paved
Streets they saw oceans of mud, old,
discolored papers blowing about, piles
of garbage and store sweepings, and
crushed cats and other matter fostering
in the sun. How are we to get rid of
these things in our civic life? First, get
rid of them i'll your homes and school
rooms Letters in the newspapers do not
prick the skin of the lazy, venal officials
whose duty it is to clean city, but
who are only mindful to bring out the
hoe brigade just before elections semi
annually. You must go deeper for re-
form in these things, You must train
new generation. Tho boys and girls in
your schools will make up the now city
boards and mayor and street commits
sioncrs. You must train i'll them a high
er sense of home and municipal patriot
ism, based on stronger love of fitness,
order and beauty. This reform is COM
ing in homo and school and city. think
we shall see some of it in our day

motley crowd gathered ON ono Of these
public conveyances was at its best. The

who were coming from work-clerks,

One laborer, with mud splashed overalls
and q tin bucket in his hand, was squeez-

was the only one of his class in tho car.
Near the door sat nurse with pink

Public dinners are becoming more

busy man like myself be asked to devote
several hours Of valuable time to the
preparation Of an address on some i'm.

of declining, but when two or three
warm personal friends urge me to COM

to accept or else appear surly. In con-

Smiles were directed at her from all the
men, but she passed them by and went
directly to the laborer, holding out her
little arms and lisped, "Tate me up. !"
The man hesitated, looking at the nurse,
and then as the little girl repeated her
command he sat down his bucket and
took her on his knee She staid with
him to the end of her journey, the nurse
not interfering, and the mans evident
delight was only surpassed by her pleas

Where Lunacy Is Reverenced.

Fanaticism flourishcs in tho orient,
where q lunatic is revcrenced as one who
is much nearer God than any sane person.
At the Persian city of Tcbriz tho oriental
traveller Vambery met with wonderful
dervish, who was an object of general adj
miration. He held as n dogma Of his
faith that the cnliphate, after tho death OF
Mohammcd, ought to have dcvolved up
on Ali, the prophets onin-law, and not
upon Abudekr, Mohammed's brother in
law.
In the east men express their conv1c-
tions by symbolic deed as well as by
words, even as the Hebrew prophets did
1000 years ago. This dervish vowed be-
fore Allah that never should his organs of
speech be used save to utter the name of
Ali! Day and night, in season and out of
season, so ran the solemn vow, would he
cry Ali, Alir' For moro than 80 years
that fanatic thus symboliZed to the world
that he was the devoted partisan of that All
who had been dead more than ZOO years
Even in his own house, though speaking
to wife, children and friends, no other
word but ALP ever passed his lips. If he
wanted food or drink, If he begged or
bought, his wants wero expressed by ALI
He would race up and down the city for q
day, shrieking at the top Of his voice.
"Ali, ALL"
Everybody veneratcd the fanatic Us a
saint The richest man in the city pro-
sented him with u magnificent horse, sad
die and bride. Vaulting into the saddle
as soon as he received the gift, he galloped
through the town shouting "Ali. ALI"
Riding into the noisy bazaar, he cried,
"Ali'' with such strength of voice as to
be heard clearly above tho frightful din Of
shouting buyers and pounding mechanics.
In the west such disturber of tho peace
would speedily find himself in lunatio
asylum. But in the east no was treated
with tho greatest consideration. +'

and increasing tho interest to DO paid to

Tho question whether tho railroad prop
critics can be made to realize the amount
Of the debt due to tho government does
not disturb tho attorney general. He Is
confident that the private property of the
various living stockholders and also the
estates of those who arc dead will be
ample to meet tho governments claim,
and he agrees fully with Congressman

the roads will settle their indebtedness

WILL SUE BIG RAILROADS

Central and Kansas Pacific.
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS WANTED.
Orders Already Issued by the Authorities
For the Preparation of tho Papers-Suits
Against All Living Stockholders of the
Pacific Railroads May Follow.

Against All Living Stockholders of the
Pacific Railroads May Follow.
WASHINGTON, juno 1S.-Attorncy Gen
rral Olney has ordered the preparation of
the papers in two big suits-ono against
tho Central Pacific and ono against the
Union and Kansas Pacific railroads joint
ly. Tho aggregate Of the sums to be claim
ed by the government will be Sill, SOL,
537. The suit against the Central Pacific
company will be for principal sum of
$27, $50, $50, with interest thereon Mt the
rate Of per cent for 30 years, making
total of SIS, $50, 9O4. The joint suit against
the Union and Kansas Pacific companies
will be for the sum of $33, $40, 5l2, which,
with interest at per cent for 80 years,
will make II total of 500, 90, G33 60.
For the preparation Of the papers In
these important suits the attorney general
has retained Attorney Russell. who has
had wide and varied experience of diff
cult and intricate government litigation
in connection with the French spoliation
claims. Mr.. Russell has been burrowing
in the yoluminous records of tho Pacific
railroads and their relations with tho
United States for several weeks and 10
now working day and night reducing his
findings to briefs.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1894-06-18

While the utmost secrecy has been OBJ
served by the attorney general and his as
sistants with regard to this matter, 1t has
been learned that the suits will DO based
upon the Same principle that underliss
the action taken in tho case Of the late
Senator Stanford. The attorney general
holds that these railroad companies wero
the trustees of the vast sums which they
have earned and which should have been
applied to the extinction of their debts to
the government These debts arc OF long
standing and although tho principal 10
not yet duo the companies have defaulted
in their payments to the sinking fund and
mako no secret Of their intention to avoid
any further payments unless they can So
cure tho passage of u funding bill at least
as favorable as that suggested by Mr..
Huntington himself. The attorney gen
eral therefore has decided that in view OF
the trustccship of these corporations the
division of their earnings either in the
form of dividends or in payments to the
collateral enterprises in connection with
which they have been operated, constitutes
a clear case of breach of trust.
This breach, the attorney general holds.
releases the government from the necessity
of waiting until the principal of the debts
falls due and gives it q standing in court
to demand full payment of all government
obligations and also enables it to purchase
the alienated property and take it whcr>
ever il may be found.
