RAILROAD STATISTICS.

The sixth statistical report of the in
ter-state commerce commission, cover
ing the year ending June 30. 1893, has
just been submitted, and an abstract has
been prepared for the use of the press.
While these statistical reports neces-
sariIy partake somewhat of the charac-
ter Of ancient literature they are of
great value because they are the only
official compilations Of the kind pre-
pared in this country, and they are as
trustworthy as they can be made under
the official authority of the commission.
The most important of the statistical
facts presented may be brought into
small compass in tabular form as follows:

A DEADLY PARALLEL.

The "deadly parallel" may have lost
its newness, but certainly none of its
effective power. Frank II. Greer, Esq,
editor of the Guthrie Capital, has insti-
tuted a double-column deadly PARALLEL
between the costs, to the people, respect
lively, of the last Republican and Demo
cratic administrations. Il is a wonderful
compilation Of statistics and records.
Democratic rule in the country for the
past eighteen months is shown to have
cost seventeen billions of dollars, lnciud-
ing shrunken wages and deprecated
values. He shows that there is a daily
loss, now, to the labor of the country of
seven million five hundred thousand
dollars. The last eighteen months have
cost the country several times the entire
cost OF the rebellion. Mr.. Greer's COM
pilation and concurrent editorial notes
viii prove valuable campaign docu-
ment.

CARELESS of the principles or facts in
volved. His sole and only aim is to de-
pose everything and everybody who
hold the offices, but never ceases to saw
the kindling from which he seeks to start
blaze for himself. He is not only pre-
pared with his mouth, but if by any
scheme Of reciprocity or low down
dickeripg lie can effect a trade with any
body, he is ready to seal and deliver the
contract. He creeps in at the back door
of the dive where a decent man would
risk neither his person or his reputa-
ton. With brazen effrontery lie
marches down the aisle of the church;
he blubbers his hypocritical cant at the
town meeting where the better element
is assembled for some benevolent work;
he is omnipresent everywhere, any
where, but always peering under the
table for the crumbs with which he
feeds his ambition for public office.
Reader, do you know such man? Ii
so, is 1t the part of wisdom to surrender
your vote and your influence 10 such a
hyena in politics? Granting, for the
argument, that abuses have crept into
party management, is that a sufficient
reason for forsaking party principle, or
for taking away the very foundation
upon which good government is built?
Have we in the century and a quarter of
our national existence, erected fabric
which is 10 topple and fall into ruin
from the rams horn tootings of few
socialists who care for nothing but the
Offices? These are matters of no trifiing
moment, and this is time when 1t is
well to take heed whether the ballot is
to maintain or destroy the government
of Washington and Lincoln.

INSISTING UPON BIS RIGHTS.


From the New Yorl, rrib1ne.
There is nothing like demanding
ones right. The average American
viii fight for his rights if you tell him
that he can not have them, but if you
say nothing about them, you can ap-
propriate them with impunity, and he
has nothing to say. An exception to
the rule put himself in evidence the
other day, however. Every one who
travels on railroads knows what car
window is. \ Georgia mule is not to
be mentioned in the same breath with
it. Wherever it is there it stays. If il
Is up it is like Baneuo's ghost about
downing. If it is down-wel, il is
down, and down it STAYS.
The American who knows his rights
and insists upon having them got into
his car and settled back in the seat 10
read. 1t was warm and stuffy in the
car, as il always is in cars, and he at
tempted to raise the window. 1t did
not bulge, and he took a frmer hold
and gave a strong tug. The window
stayed right where it was. The man
got little red around the neck and
gave a harder pull than before. OF
course the window was made to stay
down, and il performed its proper
function. For an instant there was a
wild look in the mans eyes. He leaned
back as II he were going to have that
window open if he had TO pull IL out
the whole side of the car He half
rolled up his sleeves and his lips were
closed tightly. Then he suddenly sat
down and, calmly picking mp paper,
he began to read it. His eyes were in
tently fixed on the page when the con-
ductor came along.
Tickets, please"
The passenger raised his eyes, and
there was gentle, questioning light
in them.
'sWili you be good enough TO have
some one open the Window" he
asked.
Certainly" said the conductor, "Tn
open it for you myself" Bat he
didn't.

most other countries these amateur

rougher but quite as efficient male
Wallets.
The modern tournament is clearly a
pageant and nothing more. In olden
times the quadrilles Of knights either
ran at each other with heavy lances or
fought, mounted or on foot, with clubs
and maces, battering each other sound
ly, without showing any favor or pay
ing the least respect to rank or dignity.
In one of these battles-royal Robert,
count of Cleremont. son of st. Louis
and head of the house of Bourbon, was
so severely bruised by the blows he re-
ceived from his antagonist that he was
never well afterwards. This, accord
ing TO the old historian Fauchet, was
possibly the cause OF the ordinance
that the king and princes should not
enter the lists as combatants, which
law, he adds, was ill-observed By the
succeeding king. seeing that Henry III.
OF France was killed in tournament
which he gave in honor of his daugh-
ter's marriage. II was. in fact, very
common for some of the contending
knights TO be thrown from their
horses, trampled upon and slain on
the spot or hurt most grievously,
and, indeed, medieval tour
nament rarely concluded without some
disastrous accident. Thus it was an
established law that, If any of the COM
batants wounded or killed another. he
should be Unidentified for the mishap,
which provision made them less care
ful respecting the consequences. On
the whOle-S2ve. of course. in the la
dies gallery tournament was rather
ferOciCus pastime than otherwise TO
all concerned, and blows were given
and received in the most indiscriminate
manner, the spectators sometimes COM
ing in for the hardest of rubs, since we
find Shakespeare satirically suggesting
that Justice Shallow had never met
John of Gaunt but once, and that was
in the tilt-yard, when ''time-honored
Lancaster burst young Master Shall
lows head for crowding among the
marshal's men" A notable combata Mt
of royal rank in the list was our Ed
ward Longshanks, who, when he was
returning from Palestine to England,
had to pass through Savoy, where
Count Kabilanensis, lord of Chab-
loun, invited him to tour
nament in which himself and
many other knights were to be en-
gagged. The king, although much IA
tigued by his journey, accepted the
challenge, and on the appointed day
the count with the unpronouncable
name singled out the English monarch,
and on his approach threw away his
sword, cast his arms about the neck of
the king and used his utmost endeavors
to pull him from his horse-a mode of
fighting which would seem more suited
to the latitude of Cornwall or Lanca-
shire than that of Savoy. Edward, on
the other hand, finding that the lord
of Chabloun would not quit his hold,
put spurs to his horse and dragged him
out of his saddle, and then, giving him
a violent shake, flung him to the
ground. The undaNnted Kabilanensis,
having recovered himself, remounted
his destrer and attacked the doughty
Longshanks a second time, but finding
the hand of royal England too heavy
he gave up the contest and aclInowl-
edged Edward as the conqueror..
