An observation Car.

The following description of an open
csr TO be built for the daylight passenger
travel between The Dalles and Portland
is published in the Euening Telegram:
"In furtherance OF It's plan to bring into
greater prominence the scenic points on
its llue the D. r. s. N. Co. is now build
ing at its Albina shops, an observation
car which will be finished within about
sixty days and will at once be put into
service. The car will haye neither sides
nor ends. 1t will be covered with roof
similar to that of the ordinary passenger
car, and, in fact, will not differ from II In
point of construction in any material
way except that 1t will be sldeless and
without ends, to permit unhindered OBJ
servation OF the scenic beauties for which
the Colum bia river route is noted. 1t will
be run at least nine msnths Ia the year on
the rear end of the daylight local between
Portland and The Dalles. The car will
be provided with curtains at the sides
and ends, somewhat similar TO those In
use on open street-cars, and which can be
drawn at the pleasure of the traveller.
The car would naturally be lighter than
the ordinary passenger car, but to obvi-
ate this difficulty and to make 1t ride
easily it will be weighted with iron, SO
that it will ride as safely and comfortably
as Pullman car.
General Passenger Agent Hurlburt
has in mind the putting on sale of sum
mer tourist tickets to Bonneville and
other scenic points in the Columbia river
gorge. A steamship service will also be
inaugurated which will permit passengers
to make the trip up and down the river
going one way on the observation car and
the other by boat. The observation car
will be provided with seats In the center
of the car for about 90 persons, and will
afford an opportunity for-the finest scenic
ride that can be taken out of scenery.

the stipulation with regard to bail. The
agreement was therefore taken under ad-
visement.

were run out of the carhouses and passed
between files of soldiers.

This congress stands as negative II

IMPROVEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
GROUNDS.

Representative McLcmOre has intro
duced bill for an appropriation sulli-
cicnt, and combined with a plan to make
the capitol grounds somewhat cOmmensu-
rate and consistent with the magnli-
cencc of the building. One feature Of the
bill makes the capitol grounds a kind
of Westminster Abbey memorial of the
governors of the state by placing their
busts on granite pcdestals arranged
around the drives on either side of the
building This would at the same time
adorn the grounds, honor distinguished
Texans and create IN incentive among
the people to know the history of Texas
by having the buSts of eminent men con-
stantly in evidence. The fact that n
good round sum OF money was very inju-
dciously spent in fencing the capitol
grounds while it ought to have been ap-
piled to grading and tcrracing, shows that
an inadequate appropriation to complete
the whole business would be another
waste of money.
The members of the legislature are thor
oroughly Disguised with the condition
of the grounds at present and express
surprise that former legislatures have
not made the necessary appropriations
to bcautify and adorn them. With skill
and taste the grounds present just such
n surface as could be made Il thing of
beauty and pride to every Texan and Il
delight to all our visitors, who would
carry away with them the impress of
its beauty as II browning memory of
Texas. Mr.. McLcmoreis plan on the
face of it is cmincntly proper and prac-
teal. Doubtless there will be other plans,
all of which when submitted to the com
mittce on public buildings and grounds
will evolve plan abreast with the mod
ern style of improving public grounds.
If we did not have upon MS the elephant
of Il fence around the capitol grounds
more room might be obtained for statu-
uary by opening up II street on the east
and west and north sides of the capt.
lol adorned ON each side by statuary
with the adjacent grounds laid out with
grass, shrubbcry and flower plants, but
the fence cost too much money to throw
away, aud while Mr.. McLcmorc's plan
will be more expensive, we suppose, as the
fence is there, it or some plan consis-
tent with the existence of the fence will
have to he adopted. However, we might
add that any plan would he improved by
taking down the iron railing part of the
fence and leaving the granite wall as il
is. We trust this Improvement will be
pushed TO completion and relieve Texas
from the disgrace of such grounds about
the capitol as these we have now. which
have been accommodating filth and gar
hngc for years.

The Statesman's special Washington.
ID. c., correspondent announces that Mr..
Bland of Missouri has been informed
that he has received majority of votes
in his district, although his opponent has
hccn reported as elected Mr.. Bland. our
correspondent says, will contest for the
seat in congress, with very few chances,
we think, even if he has a clear case in
his favor of success, but if he has re-
ceiyed the majority of the votes of his dis
trict he ought to be seated.
The inquiry, however, suggests itself
in this connection to Democrats us to
what advantage Mr. Bland has been to
the Democratic party in congress? We
find him opposed to all legislation on the
currency question and also arrayed against
the administration in an attempt to pro-
