HANDS OFF, RAILROADS.

7, comes to us. on what we regard as
r.,,ahle authority, that controlling men
IN the management OF the Norfolk and
Western Railroad Company have admit
ted that that corporation Is going 10
spend money in one OF our congressional
districts In the present elecuon-not
through the authorities of the Democrat
&c party but on their own account. The
same authority represents that there has
been distinct evidence in that district
that money was already being used there.
IL II IL legitimate for political parties
TO use money in elections at all. railroads
have. OF course, the same right all
other parties 10 subscribe their money TO
the campaign funds OF the party that
they wish TO see prevail We have seen
such horrible results in Virginia grow out
OF the use of money in elections that we
sometimes question whether the use OF
any should be allowed at all, except for
some incidental matters IT, however.
campaign funds are permissible, the rail-
roads nave the same right to subscribe
to those campaign funds that all citizens
have.
But in the two last elections In
Virginia. the railroads set up an election
bureau of their own. They provided
an election fund, and put its disbursement
under the control OF their own officers.
We shall never consent TO see this thing
done again. without fighting it with every
energy. we can command. When a rail-
road company gives a candidate for the
Legislature or for Congress money II
places that candidate under pecuniary OBJ
legations TO itself so that IL he is elected
he becomes the representative of the rail-
road, instead of the representative OF the
people.
We had hoped that the revelations which
were made here last winter. and the
distinct evidences Of public opinion con-
corning these revelations when they
were made would have deferred
the railroad corporations OF the
State from interfering with orr elections
with their money again. We do not
know. now. that the Norfolk and Western
is doing anything in that way. All we know
is that such is believed to be the fact.
and we therefore take advantage of that
belief to warn the Norfolk and Western
and all other railroad corporations OF
the State TO keep their hands off our cleo |
TONS.
The railroads have no better friend in |
the State than The Times. and II will |
hght while II can raise a hand 10 save |
them from Kent bills or other Populist |
measures Of destruction. But The Times |
will not stand by and see the railroads |
pollute our suffrage. and debauch our
voters with money. Better. far better.
that We have no railroads, and that we
return TO the days OF OK carts and stage |
coaches, than that our whole population
shall become the liveried and gilded slaves
OF rich railroad corporations
As the friend OF the Norfolk and Western
railroad We warn It, therefore, to keen IT'S
hands out OF this affair. The people OF
this State are determined 10 break IN
railroad interference with their elections
and The Times is going 10 exert It's best
endeavors on the side OF the people in
that contest This ought to be a case OF
verbum sap.

EDITORIAL COM MIS-.

New York Sun: The decision OF the
students of Princeton to abolish hazinr
Is wholly commendable. The practice is
relic OF barbarism, and OF cowardIy
and stupid barbarism. Where the merit
or merriment comes in when large force
OF sophomores set upon and worry "a
single freshman, who Is without means
OF resisting his tormentors, is difficult TO
see. Sometimes the haZing Is brutal, but
even when harmless, IT has nothing 10
recommend IT. and is better calculated TO
teach lads TO be DULLES than 10 be gem
tlemen.
Those who are hazed are not always the
chief sufferers. Now and then a lad who
may have some compunctons at mall
treating an underclass student, yields TO
the foolish theory that IL Is a time-hOnored
practice, that must be kept up. and per-
haps with the result OF his own .expul-
sion. The abrupt cutting off OF promising
careers In that way makes II well to
abolish this sort Of pastme. in the in
terest OF the haZers, as we'll as their VIC
Tins
Princeton puts herself among civilized
communities in this particular. There
should be no more haZing at West Point
or Annapolis. or in any institution that
desires to be reputable.

A Clever Dog.

Scarcely anything is lacking in the
mental furniture of this psychological
dog to make him the equal of baby
years old except thinking in words,
and who can prove that he is destitute
of this faculty, although not possessing
articulate speech? One evening while |
was giving my plants drink he came
to me several times, asking me to have
the gate opened. Not caring to lay down
the hose, paid little heed to his teas
ings, and he determined to compass his
purpose in another wsy. To the front
door he went, and pressing it found it
not latched, but requiring some force to
throw it open. Then he backed out the
full width Of the verlnda, nnd running
threw his weight so violently against
the door as to drive it open. Very soon
he reappeared with his mistress, TO
whom he had made his suppication, and
she, without knowing Of his failure
with me- opened th6 gate and gave the
little fellow his coveted freedom 1t
should be explained inregard to the wit
shown i'll opening a heavy or sticking
door that Toots acquired his experience
with fly door closed by the reaction Of
a spring. He found by experiments that
if with his fore paws he pressed this
door open just far enough to emit his
body it would spring to and pinch his
tail, and that by retreating and running
the whole length Of small entry he
would impart momentum enough to
open the door wide and thus clear his
tail, at the same time letting out de-
pendent companion. This act, am in
clined to think, is little smarter than
is usual in two year-old child,-Pop-
uldr Science Monthly.

Simple Desserts.

1t is a great waste of time and frequent
ly of money for the woman who does her
own work or has only the help of one
servant to indulge in elaborate desserts.
Some sort of dessert is necessary after ev-
cry dinner. 1t is the proper course to lin
ger over" Lingering over cold roast and
chilly vegetables would lack the charm
which attaches to dallying with dessert.
But because desserts are graceful and nee
essary for the dainty finishing of dinner
is no reason why the cook or the mother
should spend hours every day in stoning
raisins and similar occupations.
A jar of preserved ginger is compare
lively Inexpensive, and from it may be
made desserts for a family of ordinary
size With delicate biscuits and cup of
coffee it forms delicious ending for an
evening meal Fruit and nuts are quite
as cheap and much more wholesome than
pies and buildings. Half dozen oranges
for / 5 cents will make a better dessert for
six people than one pie costing Is cents.
Apples polished and attractively arranged
might often be substituted for buildings
and sauces.
Boiled custard is very easily prepared
dish, and where poured over cake which is
beginning TO grow hard makes a delicate
dessert Crackers and cheese may be serv-
ed with the coffee instead of the regular
dessert and are quite as much as most
people care for who have eaten substan-
tial dinner. Figs and dates are moderate
in price, easily arranged and wholesome.
In fact by little forethought a house
keeper should be able to furnish desserts
for five days out of every seven without re-
course to the cook book or the stove.-St
Louis Globe. Democrat.

Music as Medicine.

AT the st. Pancras infirmary there was
a female patient suffering from melan-
cholia, to whom they played lullaby
After the performance she told a nurse
that she liked it very much. On this the
superintendent of the intirmary said
''This is the first time she has spoken
for a fortnight" Shortly afterward
male patient suffering from delirium
tremens was brought into the ward. On
hearing the first notes of the music he
became quite calm and attentive, though
his attendant had been half afraid to
bring him on account of outbreaks of
violence
Results like these have since been fire.
quently obtained by the guild, and they
are certainly most encouraging. They
are all, it will be seen, in the direction
of distracting the mind from pain and
soothing mental irritation. In order to
test the hypnotic effect Of soft music the
guild made the experiment of playing
lullabies to ward Of II patients, along
with DR.. Collins, one of the physicians
to the hospital. In spite of distracting
noises, unhappily inseparable from the
ward of a London hospital they got the
following results: DR.. Collins found it
an effort to keep awake" four patients
were actually sent to sleep, some liked
it too well to sleep" and others felt
"sad but delighted. "-Chamber'S Jour

One of the Worlds HerOines.

One of the world heroincs of whom we
hear inadcquately little is Miss Clara Bar
ton. OF course in a general way every one
knows that Clara Barton represents the
Red Cross society, and her name is assOci-
ated with relief work wherever needed
from whatever cause.
But it is not SO well known that Miss
Bartons life from early girlhood to the
present has been one of indefatigable effort
in the cause of suffering humanity. She
has been the recipient of many magnifl-
cent testimonials of appreciation from
crowned heads and high dignitaries in
Europe Queen Victoria has pinned an
English decoration upon her breast with
her own royal hand. Queen Natalie has
bestowed upon her the Servian decoration
of the Red Cross, and in point of fact she
has had much greater honor shown her
abroad than in her own country-not a pc
culiar experience, however. Miss Barton
was born in Massachusetts Ga years ago.
She was farmers daughter and has been
self supporting in a variety of ways
taught country school, worked in a fac
tory, held a position in the patent office at
Washington and has been on the lecture
platform.
Her life has been one prolonged minis
tration to her fellow men, beginning with
her efforts in behalf of Union soldiers dur
ing the war. 1t was mainly through her
persistent efforts that the Red Cross Of
Geneva has found its way to America
The nationel society now has its headquar-
tiers in Washington city, and it is there
that Miss Barton makes her home when
not afield, SO to speak.
Perhaps no form of disaster has overtak-
en- this country in the last 80 years that
Clara Barton's name has not figured in
connection with it as that of an angel of
mercy and help When in 1889 the Mis-
sissippi floods rendered thousands home
less and destitute, she stationed herself at
Cincinnati, sending out relief wisely and
frugally, and wired for help in every direc-
ton,
Tho droughts of Texas, the earthquake
of Charleston, the disasters of Johnstown,
the Beaufort horror one and all touched
the quick sympathies and felt the wise
helpfulness of this truly good and great
woman, whose last thought in any juno
ture is self-N. Y. Mail and Express.
