EMIGRANT RATE WAR
Western Passenger Association
Lines Make Deep Cut.
To Bring the Union Pacific to Time They
Reduce the Rate to California

The war over the emigrant rates will

grant business from the Missouri river TO
California This IS a cut of 1880, the
present rate from the river TO California
being $35. The new rate will be a body
blow to the Union Pacific, as that roads
present percentage on each ticket from the
Missouri river to ogden is just sl61O. The
Western Passenger Association lines are

One hot summer afternoon I went to my room to lie down. I had no disposition to sleep, and in fact was never wider awake in my life. The rest of the family were all in a distant part of the house. As I lay there alone, trying to cool off, there suddenly appeared at the open door an object that seemed like my idea of what the angel of death would be. It approached the bed on which I lay, and placing two arrows crosswise over my heart, said in hollow, but perfectly audible voice: I will not take you now, will call for you September 20.' Then it disappeared as suddenly as it came. 1 arose from the bed with great beads of precipitation running down my face, and must confess that was thorough ly scared, but I had sense enough not to relate my experience to any of the family until after the day set by the object of my taking off. It so hap pened that on September 20 I was a passenger on a Mississippi river steam boat, and freely acknowledge that I felt 8 good deal shaky until the day was numbered among the things of the past. Years have passed since then, and here I am pretty lively specimen yet. What was the appari- ton? I am sure I don't know, and have long since given up trying to ex- plain it. Don't try to tell me that it was dream, for was as wide awake at the time as am at this minute; be- ] sides I have the arrows that were laid across my breast securely locked up in trunk at home.

 We ladies were pleased to be invited into the apartments of the ranis, or queens, where, in reception-room of the palace, fitted up with the luxury of a Fifth avenue mansion, we saw, and the Notwithstanding ladies talked with four generations of queens, from the great-grandmother, not apparently over eighty years, down to the pretty, fair mother of the tiny baby princess of two months in the arms of it's English nurse. All these women had seen nothing of the festivities save behind purdahs, which yelled their beauty and hid their rare jewels from the mascu- line gaze. Before we left the wife of the maharaja herself sprinkled upon us precious odor from a dainty gold vessel. She is probably sixteen years old, and was married three years ago, this fact showing tendency against infant marriages in India, at least among the higher classes.

NOT QUITE SEEMLY.

Col. Breckenridge will go to Washing
ton to attend to his duties as congress
man until the 4th of March next, after
which time he will take to the lecture
field. The maudlin sentiment that per-
mits such men as Breckinridge to pan
der to its literary tastes, is certainly of
no credit to those who entertain it. OF
Breckinridge's ability as an orator there
can be no doubt; but his taking to the
lecture field, using his infamous fame as
an advertisement, should not be toler-
ated by decent people.
Miss Pollard had sense enough to
withdraw from the public gaze, which is
much to her credit. The honorable
congressman from Kentucky, having
been retired by his constituents, will do
well to follow the example of his late
lady friend, and obey the voice of the
people. It has been, and is, entirely
too common for ladies, whose generosity
is larger than their judgment, to bid for
public favor on the stage through their
own shortcomings. Heretofore that
kind of advertising has been monopo-
lized by the gentler sex, and we suggest
that their monopoly be conceded by Mr..
Breckenridge as properly belonging to
the sex, and that it is not calculated to
increase the popularity OF a he harlot.

a city-bred, aforementioned young
ster took his first excursion into the
country with a ''fresh-air'' party, says
the New York Tribune. 1t happened to
be at the time of the full moon. Night
after night the little fellow went out
after supper and sat upon stone behind
the farmhouse, and watched the won
drous orb as it rose behind the trees.
Then his week expired, and he went
back to his tenement district. A year
passed, and as it happened the fresh
air fund sent the same susceptible boy
to the same farmhouse. Supper was
eaten, and he slipped out behind the
house and made straight for the stone
in the back yard. But where was the
moon? He looked and looked, till
finally, not in the east, but in the west,
he discovered slim silver crescent.
The disappointment was too much for
him, and he returned to the house,
weeping. ''Oh, it isn't the same fell

rURDAY. DECEMBER 1. 1894
CERTAINLY ORIGINAL.

Our contemporary, under it's editorial,
''Plain Situation says:
The way to avoid the necessity of max
ing continual issues of bonds to get gold
is to retire some hundreds of millions of
treasury notes as rapidly as possible.
Cancel a sufficient quantity of the notes
with which gold is withdrawn, amend
the tariff so as to get more revenues, and
then make all duties payable in gold.
The Sun would timidly ask as to how
the ''some hundreds of millions OF treas
ury notes" are to be rapidly retired? Is
the government to request the holders of
the same to donate them through
patriotism? II SO, we fear that the gov
ernment would be sadly disappointed,
as most of the holders are presumably
advocates of the single gold standard,
and we fail to perceive the great amount
of patriotism, as evidenced by their
actions, that will move them to adopt
such 81 philanthropical policy. Does our
contemporary advise the government to
repudlate their payment, or to hire a lot
of bank robbers and thieves to steal
them, and then, when once in the pos
session of the government, have them
destroyed?
We presume that, by a forced con-
struction of the language quoted, our
contem porary means to sell more bonds
and purchase the treasury notes by the
gold received for the bonds and then
cancel the treasury notes thus purchased.
To do this, however, we must resort to
the issue of bonds, which evil our con-
temporary wishes to do away with, and
We must confess that we are completely
mystifed as to what the point of the
above advice may be. Probably it is
masked battery, and in due time the
shot will be fired,
The Sun does not for one moment i'm
agine that the people of the United States
will assent to the exchange of their non
interest bearing treasury notes for inter-
est-bearing gold bonds. No one will be
the gamer by such transaction, except
the purchaser of the bonds would get an
assured interest on their investment, as
the security for the bonds, as well as for
the treasury notes, is the governments
promise to pay, backed by it's credit.
A careful investigation of the money
and tariff questions will, we are conf
dent, satisfy any unbiased person that
high protection and the single gold
standard can never be made running
mates, as they will continually interfere
with each other.
AS authority for the truth of this state
ment we would refer to the noted inter
view of Hon. Thomas B. Reed, of Maine,
contained in the June issue of the Fort
nightly Review. Possibly since the ap-
pearance of this article our contemporary
does not recognize Mr.. Reed as repub-
lican, though thus far we have seen no
edict reading him out of that party, and
as he has been recognized in the past,
and we presume will be in the future, as
one of the great leaders of the republi-
can party, the Sun would refer its read
ers to Mr.. Reeds ideas on this question,
believing that his views may possibly
have greater weight nationally and even
locally than the views advanced by our
esteemed mporary.-Portlaud Sum-

no means pleasant ones. There were
no words expressive of love or hate,
simply coughings, splutterings, hiss

crouched. The legs were without any
calf. If the Ainu is taken as type,
we were covered with short hair, which.
it is believed, ran into shades of red.
Foreheads were low and protruded,
mouths mere muzzles, and the teeth
were like fangs. Ears ran to points,
and there were no lobes at the base.
