Federal Ownership of Railroads.
Mr. PETER has elaborated most int
tereStlng system for the governments
ownership OF railroads on lines which
he thinks will not only be profitable to
the people, but agreeable to the present
owners of the roads. He said:
1.-THE ownership of railroads of course
leads to many other things. How rdicu-
lous 1t is that few men should own all
the coal in the country. The owner of
coal mine boarding up and dealing out
the heat stored up by nature for all the
people is'a lamentably selfish spectacle.
Itreminds me of the old-fashioned razor
back hog backing up against a pile of
corn which he could not possibly de-

back hogs away from it all. All coal

nation. Consider how serious these
coal troubles are. In fourteen states at
one time there were troubles over the
coal mines, armed men were out and
blood was being shed. Many writer's
and politicians pitched into me about
my speech on the abolishing of the
house and senate. They called me
revolutionist and an anarchist.
but no man is a revolutionist
who advocates what can be done con-
additionally. We can abolish the house
and the senate under the power which
the constitution gives us, and the presi-
dency, too, for that matter. These great
legislative bodies are unwieldy, eXpen.

10000 bills of this one year, and the hor.

College of Cardinals Idea,

seems to be a combination of the rule of
Venice by the doges, and of the election
of the pope by the college of cardinals.

the college of cardinals idea in 1t.

The Negro and the Mule.

Chicago Record.
Why is it that the negro is so success
full in managing the mule, and is so un-
successful at managing horse? 1t is
generally admitted that both these prop
ositions are true. The merge is noisy
driver: while he is teamlng he is con-
stantly shouting at his beast OF burden.
The mule Is by no means as sensitive
to noise as the horse is; he is less ex-
citable and more patient. The horses
excitement exhibits itself in violence.
that of the mule In stubbornness. The
phrase "horse sense" is founded upon
absurd error, for the horse actually has
very little of that which humanity terms
Sense" Yet, have we a right to ex-
pect any vast amount of sense in an
animal whose eyes are so constructed
as to magnify objects from eight to
twelve times their actual size.
While it is true that the negro soon
ruins the average horse, it is not true
that he Is mora successful than other
people in the management of the mule.
The mule is adapted to every class of
driver, but the negro can be adapted
only to the mule, and this, we suppose,
is really why we indulge the humorous
heresv that nobody can get along with
the mule but the negro. The fact
is, that the mule is the only Quadruped
that can get along with the negro.

thin. He is six feet two or three inches
high and does not weigh hundred and
fifty pounds. His head is very small.
Senator Smith, of New Jersey, has re-
peatedly declared that with that small
head Mr.. PETER can think very quickly
aud very intelIingently. Senator Muir.
ply, OF New York, has often said of his
friend Smith s remark. Eyes, that is
SO.
Mr.. PETERS forehead slants back
ward too much. His profile is that of
an old Egyptian charioteer. He has big
bumps of perception, his nose is very
strong, his eyes are remarkably good,
the color Is fine gray blue, the pupils
are small. The eyes havesan absolutely
steady look, and they prove great men
tai concentration. Secretary Gresham
has handSomer eyes-hiS are the hand
soonest in Washington. But no man
here has eyes as good as PETERS from
the intellectual point of view.
Now the beard. 1t is not more than
three feet long from its source at Mr..
Peffer's ear to the tip end of the lowest
hair. Mr.. PETER moves it by putting the
back OF his hand under it, Just below
his chin. and lifting it up by slight
exercise of strength. There are few
gray hairs in his beard. 1t has a
dash of auburn here and there, and a
little piece of it just under the lip is
white, but the general effect is dark
purple. 1t may be the mixture of au-
burn and the black. but, whatever the
cause, the fact is certain that Mr.. PEI
fer's world.famous beard is dark
purple.
MIR. PETERS cheeks are rather hollow.
His face is long and thin, his eyes are
wide apart, his mouth is invisible. His
thoughts evidently run in pleasant
channels. He has cheerful little
wrinkles that run from his eyes back
towards his ears and down his cheek
bones. They are wrinkles that come
from laughing and from smiling very
often. Mr.. PETER says that he gets his.
disposition from his mother. What he
finds hardest in Washington life
harder than the all-summer session or
the attacks Of ofice-seekers-is tue fact
that he is too poor to help all those who

THE LONGEST WALK.
"A Journey on Foot From Calcutta
: to Austria.

" f1uStEtds
London Daily News.
Herr Schneidereit. an Austrian prin-
ter, boasts that he has just completed
one of the longest walks ever made by
man. He has marched on foot the
whole way from Calcutta to his native
town, Rathenow. In the year 1892 he
was Informed that kinsman who had
lately died In Australia had beuueathed
him considerable fortune, and so he
set out, With his wife and children, to
take possession of his inheritance in the
English colony. When he arrived he
found the fortune to be little more than
fable, and so he set his face again to-
ward home. The ship was burned on
the voyage. Herr Schneidereit lost his
wife and his two children, but was him.

board an English ship to Calcutta.
There he quickly spent the small
remnant of his property, and found him.
self utterly without means of livelihood.
So the venturous man resolved that he
would walk home to Austria. He tray
eled on foot across India, Afghanistan.
Persia, Turkey and south of Russia,
Bulgaria, Roumania and Hungary, into
Austrian fatherland. The journey OIL
foot occupied him nearly the whole of
two years. We are inclined to think
that he may fairly claim to have beaten
the record In pedestrianism. If this
wonderful walker were an author as
we'll as printer, he might make
capital book out of his experience as a
pilgrim from the East to the West.

shock.

clusion that if Wards body could be

1t was decided to attach q ground wire

view of carrying Off what electricity

conducted yesterday. A common in

FOOD AS A CURE FOR MOODS.
Even Fits of Temper Will Yield to
Well.Chosen Dinner.

There are few sorrows that salad
cannot solace, and the woes are not
many which will not vanish, at least
temporarily, before carefully chosen
essert. The flood cure" is the best in
tine world for moods.
Every one observes that men retain
their youth longer than women. at
fifty men are erect, active-gray-haired
to be sure, but fresh -colored and bright
eyed. AT fifty women are gray-haired,
dull-eyed, wrinkied and colorless. Why
is the difference? Because for twenty
five years or so men have been eating
good, substantial, epicurean luncheons
| in the society of their fellow men down
town, while women have been having
toast and tea and cold sliced meat with
the children at home. 1t is no base,
material doctrine to preach, that of the
intimate connection between good food
on the one hand and good temper and
good looks on the other. Even the apos-
tie of temperance In all directions, Miss
Willard, comes home from beet-loving
England and chants the praise of five
good meals day.
Have you fit of bad temper? Eat
your luncheon in cheerful society. and
make it delicious one, with a bit of
crisp lettuce, taste of cheese, some
toasted crackers and a cup of black
coffee. You will leave the table at
peace with all the world. The jostling
crowd, which you longed to throttle be
fore eating, will arouse only emotions
of g0od-natured interest now. Are you
depressed? Dine we'll, and the world
will bear a rosy aspect after dinner.

through the centuries, and you will be

Only remember that to dine we'll
means to dine with daintiness. not to

successful must have due regard for

the president would be satisfied with

Mr.. PETER sets rather a good example
to the men who accuse him of selfish
motives. With great earnestuess he
repudiated the stories now current IN

Cleveland'S private interest In Nova

cent Intimate association with Mr..
Dimock. whose great interest in these
mines is well established. Mr.. PETER

plenty of violence. and bloodshed is

About Great Men.
Mr.. PETER was good enough to eX-
press his opinions of number of great
men.

ed. Abraham Lincoln. Julius Caesar
and Napoleon Bonaparte come nearer to
universal greatness than any men in
history. In the senate, John Sherman
is the greatest man in the old school of
finance. In political history, Morgan, of
Alabama, is the ablest senator. In
Nevada, eXceIs them all. AS politi-
cal worker. the Shrewdest man is
Chandler. On the Democratic side
German is the shrewdest politician.
HIPS trouble Is too much courage.
That is why German beats him as pol
itician. Hill does not care whether he
has one man against him or a thousand.
When his mind is made up he goes
ahead. Mr.. Reed. of Maine, is one of
the men who do not help the world
along. He takes it as he finds it, gets
what he can out of it and leaves it, so
far as he is concerned, just where it
was when he came upon it. But he is a
brilliant man, despite his lack of value

"a great danger at this moment is
the presidents patronage. 1t is most
dangerous power, and grows worse and
worse every year. Not that the preSi-

of patronage has never been as men
lation has never been so great. 1t
closes the mouths of senators and repre-

affects newspapers. This nation should
wipe out the vicious system of govern
ment patronage"

prove that he thinks. An Interview

Lost-An Idea.

'Mr. Cleveland had but one leading
Idea when he entered national
politics, and that was to reform tariff
legislation. He is man of strong con-
Victions and honest purposes. Had he
been permitted to have his own way he
would have accomplished a great deal
Of good, but social and financial influ-
ences were too strong for him. He has
been moved out of his orbit, and
now, like a wandering comet,
Is getting further and further
away from the original one idea which
constituted his intellectual habitation.
He will not get another idea, and his
first one has been lost. He has failed
utterly to fulfill the promise of his ma
tIonal beginning. The presidents
utilization with financial interests has
decreased his influence as public man.
He will pass away from the public
stage. The Democratic party will soon
be disbanded. Its life is about run.
Grover Cleveland will pass away with
it. In twenty-five years it will be seen
that nothing in Mr.. Cleveland's public
career made any real impression on the
history of his country.
