The Texas law. which requires sepa-
rate, though equal. accommodation for
whites and blacks on railroad trains,
did not settle the question Of rights and
privileges in the occupancy of Pullman
sleeping cars. In carrying out the pur-
pose of the law, passenger cars on Tex
as railroads are divided into two COM
partments by partition across the in
terror of the ear. and each car bears on
one end the words "For Whites" and
on the other end the words For Ne
groes." The railroads enforce the pro-
visions of the law to the letter, as a
negro clergyman, riding on a first-olass
Pullman ticket from st, Louis to Cal
weston, discovered. When the train
rolled on to Texas soil the negro eler-
gyman was compelled to leave the
sleeper and ride in the apartment in the
day coach set apart for negroes. For
this indignity he brought suit for $4,000
damages. The court in charging the
jury held that the companies, having
sold the plaintiff first-class ticket, en-
tered into contract with him to give him
Pullman passage through to Galveston,
and having assumed this obligation, it
was the duty of the companies to pro
vide accommodations for him equal in
every respect to those furnished the
white race. A judgment was returned
in the negro's favor, and now Texas
lines will advise their connections not
to sell through tickets over Texas roads
with Pullman passage beyond the State
line.

land; The lowering OF the American
tariff has been our salvation, and 1t can
not be said that we have shown much
reciprocity; for instead of taking the in
creased value of our shipments across
the Atlantic in kind, we seem to have
bought less American produce, 1t Is
needless to go beyond our own board
of trade returns to find an explanation
of a good deal of the monetary trouble
In the United States.
This is frank acknowledgment Of
what We have done for England, and 1t
shows that appreciation OF noble gem
erosity is not yet extinct. A country
that can put itself Sin a hole" for the
benefit of another country, as the United
States has done, is entitled to the graft
tude of the other country. And politi-
cal party whose platform is the Golden
Rule and whose action is in strict accord
with its platform is something for the
country in which it lives and labors to
be proud Of If the Democratic party
isn't successful next year and if Pres
ident Cleveland doesn't have third
term it will be because this country is
not worthy of such a party and such
president, and because there are too
many people in it who think that it is
more blessed to receive than to give and
who think that charity begins at home.

But the most exclusively fashionable
models are Of the seal with no trimming
of any kind and depending on perfection
of cut and hang to attain their correct
effect. The electric fur or the French
seal comes in such perfect finish that no
one but an expert or the one who sees
the bill can tell the difference, and it
wears as long as the seal, too. So,
though many have a prejudice against

in favor of this one.

COMMUNICATIONS,
A Suggestion.


To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND Co1rRIrp.
I make the following suggestion for
the consideration of the people of New
Haven, but have no intention of press
ing it. The corner of Chapel and Church
streets has become the center and start
ing point of the electric railroads of
New Haven, which lead to all parts of
the city. Already the fence on Chapel
and Church streets has been removed to
make room for the large number of
people who meet there to take the va
rious cars to their homes. The necessi-
ty of using portion of that part of the
Park for the convenience of those who
wish to take the cars of the various
lines of roads is demonstrated by the
removal of the fence. That the need is
clearly recognized is evident from the
fact that no protest has been made.
Therefore, I assume that the public de-
sire that so much of the Park shall be
given up as a station for passengers on
the electric railroads.
In it's present condition it is unsightly
and detracts much from the appear
ance of the Park. Then, again, it is
very unpleasant for people to meet
there in the rain and other bad weather,
and it also obstructs the walk It seems
to me that the convenience Of the people
Of New Hacen, or at least a large por-
ton Of thsm, require something more
than the vacant space, than there

A story which w. H. Mcdonald, bari
tone of the Bostonians, tells on himself
is quoted by the San Francisco Post:
Last summer, while rusticating in the
pine woods OF Maine, it became noised
about the village that he was one of
the Bostonians, and he was asked to
appear at a local concert He sang,
and was received with thunderous APP
plause. AS he was leaving the hall an
old man rushed up to him, shook him
by the hand and exclaimed: Mister.

Let's see. HASN'T the boycott of the
national bank notes which was ordered
by Grand Master Workman Sovereign
been in full operation for some time?
And isn't it about time for a report
concerning its progress and efficacy :?
Usually when there is a boycott there
are frequent reports intended to en-
courage the boycotters and discourage
the boycotted, Indeed, most boycotts
consist chiefly of such reports.
1t is to be hoped that the Grand Mas
ter will let us know soon how the good
work is going. The bank note boycott
tiers do not appear to be either numerous
or active in this part of the country.
Truth to tell, it is the bank notes
themselves which appear to be doing
wha tever boycotting there is being done,
The cause needs support and encour-
agement in this region. If there is any
part of the country where the subjects
of the Grand Master are getting in more
effective work against the national
bank notes than the notes are getting
| in against them the faithful in this
neighborhood would like to know 1T.

STILL MORE INTERESTING.

Yesterday we remarked that the in
creased flow of natural gas in the edi-
torial columns of the megalomaniac
Register was an interesting phenome-
non, and we intimated that the increase
might be due to the same cause that
has made an increase in the flow of nat
ural gas in Indiana.
Last evening the Register had the
following editorial: "Llanfairpwllgwy-
Observation-Disclosures chwyrnbwlllan

natural gas, and is even more interest
ing than the Registers natural gas phe-
nomenon. The earthquake may account
for the natural gas, but we don't know
how to account for this latest flow ex-
cept by the theory that the recent cleo
tions have affected the Registers foun-
dations even more seriously than the
earthquake did.

and when the Democratic campaign is in

the tariff for revenue has done. And

blessings that will be brought forward
will be extracts from English papers

A French naval engineer named
d'Hurny has invented pressed oilcake
for use as fuel on ocean steamers. 1t is
not affected by temperature, is smoke
less and odorless, cannot evaporate or
cause explosions, and burns only on the
surface, giving out intense heat, and
leaving only from two to three per cent
of ash. A ton of this fuel is equal to
thirty tons of coal, and costs between
i've and ten dollars.

A CHANGED MAN.

In the fall of 1892, when the Demo-
Gratis We're promising to enlarge our
markets even to the extent of giving us
"the worlds markets a notice was
posted in the works Of the American
Sugar Refining company, which are
situated in Jersey City, advising the
men to vote for Cleveland. At that
time the sugar interests in some way
expected the Democratic party would
so arrange the tariff as to give them
the markets of the world. The fore
man who posted that notice in 1892 says
that he voted for Grlggs, the Republi-
can candidate for governor of New
Jersey, this year because the Demo-
cratic protection does not protect, be-
cause Germany is exporting to this
country sugar, because he wants to see
Americans refine sugar for the home
market, and because work is slack in
the sugar trade, owing to the Demo-
cratic tariff. These are the reasons
that compelled him to vote for Griggs
this year and will compel him to vote
for the Republican nominee in 1895.
It is to be hoped that the Republican
party managers will not promise the
Sugar trust as much as the Democratic
party managers are said to have done,
but they will keep whatever promises
they may make to American industries
better than the Democrats have done.
At least they will not attack them with
a tariff for deficit.

Beer kegs are being used with great
success for the odd purpose of catching
bears in the vicinity of Hoquiam, Wash
ingten, and are said to make the best
bear traps ever used in that region.
One emo is knocked out Of the keg, and
then number of strong, sharp spikes
are driven into its sides, the points
slanting slightly toward the closed end.
IA big dab of honey or other delicacy
especially liked by bear is then placed
at the further end, and the key is care
lessly dropped in the woods where the
bears are likely to stumble across it.
The device caught five bears in one
week for one key planter recently. The
bear just pushes right into the key after
the honey in the end, and the spikes
effeetually prevent him from backing
out, and all he can do is roll around I'M
til he is tired, and then wait for the
trap layer to come round.
