Il CHEERFUL SCHOOLROO
There is theory that the root
evil in much of the insanity is in
ability to laugh. We are told that
when one ceases to smile easily
and naturally, there should be i'm
mediate expert treatment for insan-
ity; that there are indications of
insanity whenever there is ten
dency to look on the dark side Of
life. There are accounts of Won
derful cures affected by simply
creating smile on the countenance
of an insane patient. There are
said to be specialists in the art of
producing laughter with the insane.
One of these experts will stay for
days with the patient, studying
every conceivable condition, and
when, at length, his patience is re-
warded by ripping smile in eye
and mouth, on cheek and brow,
there is certainty of returning
mental balance.
If this be true, how important it
is that the atmosphere in which the
mind is being trained should be
cheerful. No school day should
begin in other than joyous mood.
Whatever the introductory exercises,
they should be praiseful, joyous:
and the benediction of every school
day should be as radiant as the
most gorgeous sunset through which
nature says to man, t@It is to be
dark for little, for I simply carry
your glory of to-day to other chimes
while you sleep. ami will greet

me-"
Cheerfulness is duty as we'll as
privilege, and one of the questions
that should be asked about every
applicant for position is that which
reveals the fact that he is or is not
cheerfub When time comes in
the teachers life, whatever be the
cause, in which he is not cheerful,
he should be given vacation,
and the test of his returning should
be the return of the cheerful spirit.
Every vacation should be time of
restoration of the spirit of cheer
fitness.

THE CENTRAL PACIFIC.

4 4
Boston Traveller.
The Central Pacific Railroad ap-
pears to have been built by money
of the Uuited States government
for the purpose of debauching
California politics, depressing
Western commerce and enriching
four men. Such, atzleast, is the
burden of a memorial which has
been presented to Congress by a
representative committee of San
Francisco citizens.
The sole securities which the
government holds for its loans to
this company are mortgages amount
ing to ST, 900, the last of
which will fall due in 1898. But
the corporation is bankrupt. There
is no hope that its assets will equal
to pay them. On this plea, Con-
gress is asked to grant an extension
of one hundred years on these
mortgages. This is called funding
the debt.
The prime mover in this petition
is President Coils p. Huntington.
Thirty years ago Mr.. Huntington
was a man of moderate means.
He became associated in Western
railway schemes with Leland STAN
ford, Mark Hokpins and Charles
Croker. All four prospered ex-
ceedingly. Their methods were
bold and singular. They first OBJ
tanned control of the Central Pacific.
By nominal transactions with GER
tain adjunct corporations, notably
the Contract and Finance Com
pany and the Southern Pacific Com
pany of Kentucky, they were en-
abled to transfer over SLAP, 900, 900,
of the earnings of the Central
Pacific railroad to their private
pockets. If tracks were to be laid
for the Central Pacific, they were
laid by the Contract and Finance
Company, alias Huntington ct all;
and Huntington ct al. named the
price. If purchases were to be
made, they we're made Of the South
ern Pacific Company of Kentucky,
another alias of the same combina-
ton; and the combination named
its price.
Stanford, Hopkins and Croker
are dead. But their heirs, with
Huntington, still control California
politics. Legislatures remit taxes
for their railroads and Railway
Commissioners uphold them in ex-
cessive freight charges. They own
hotels, bridges, steamers, business
buildings, street railroads in San
Francisco and Oakland and large
tracts of timber land, seized, held
and sold without valid title. These
and other visible evidences of their
stolen wealth are the real assets of
the nominally bankrupt Central
Pacific railroad.
1t remains to be seen whether
Congress will consent to such
gigantic perversion of government
money, by funding, which is the
same in this case as cancelling its
claim; or whether it will proceed
against the four directors individ-
ually, as it legally can and justly
ought.

One of the most vexatious Dues
lions that confront the people of the
United States at this particular time
and one that will, no doubt, require
serious consideration at their hands
at an early day, to avert civil war, is
the spasmodic Quasi-xevolutions
between railroads and their en-
ployes.
We do not desire to enter into a
discussion of the merits of the
present troubles, but, the condition
of affairs resulting from the present
strike of the railroad employees in
Chicago and in several Western and
Southern cities is such that all good
and true men should endeavor to
bring about legal remedy to put an
end to this increasing evil. BY these
strikes the commerce of the country
is momentari'y Paralized, railroad
traffic stopped, and what is even
worse, the disturbing elements of
society-nay the enemies of all
II
ists-take advantage of these abnor-
m al and exciting times and like the
burglars and thieves during Panics
and CONGREGATIONS, put in their work
of destruction. To this class, gener-
ally idle, such times are picnics,
to. the great injury of the
honest laborers, whom, no one ex-
cept the corporation managers are
likely to charge with being always in
the wrong. All will admit that some
thing must be wrong with the cor
Poration system which breeds dis
cord so abundantly.
So far the only legitimate weapon
of defense of the employees is the
right to strike. But experience
teaches that this method is failure
and proves disastrous both to the
strikers and railroads. What strikes
have succeeded The miners strike
in England Through arbitration
only. The Northwestern railroad
striker Practically a lockout to
raise the wages and ended by arbi-
tration. We agree with Mr.. Pow
derly, that the strike as practical
weapon of aggression or defense is
failure. It is true that some strikes
have brought about satisfactory
settlements of the grievances of the
laborers, but they are, generally, too
long drawn-out. In the interim the
railroads, their employees, and the
whole people suffer untold vexations
and privations.
This is certainly a great question
and it is with diffdence that we
make the suggestion for a remedy.
AS railroads do not stand as pieces
Of property devoted solely to pri-
vate business, but are public
agency, performing duties which
the courts have defined to be
function of government, and as
transportation is constant and
universal necessity, the government
should enact laws defining the
duties of these public agents and
their employees to the people and
thus secure to the latter the unin
terrupted enjoyment of the benefits
resulting from, and justifying their
creation and existence. A statutory
provision prohibiting railroads
from raising or lowering the wages
of their employees without the ap-
proval of a tribunal with equity
ceedings between some designated
officers of the corporation and
labor organization, would, we. be-
lieve, if not actually prevent, assist
in bringing about a solution Of
these "ever recurring, inevitable
conflicts.
