THE NEW WABASH FLYER.
Improved Mail and Passenger Service
for Big Territory-New York to
Be Reached in Forty Hours.
From the Kansas City Star.

haubde Nity
The new fast mail and passenger
service on the Wabash railroad will be
inaugurated Sunday night with the
east bound train, which leaves this
city at $3.50 O'Clock. The train will ar
rive in New York Tuesday morning at
1925 O'Clock, making the run from
this city in forty hours and fifteen
minutes. 1t will be faster by three
hours than any other train between
Kansas City and New York and will
be the fastest time ever made be-
tween the two cities. Following is a
part of the schedule of the new train:
Arrive at st. Louis at 2:30 a. M; Fort
Wayne, 11:45 a. m; Toledo, 2:35 p.
M; Buffalo, 1890 2. M; New York,
10:35 a. m. Boston will be reached at
2:43 O'Clock on the afternoon of the
second day out of Kansas City. The
New York train viii! run via the Wa
bash, Lake Shore & Michigan South
ern and the New York Central lines.
The new service will prove of con-
siderable advantage to Kansas City
and the West. Travellers will save
several hours III travelling to New
York, Boston and other Eastern cities
and the delivery of Western mail will
be expedited from twelve to twenty
four hours.
The west bound service will also be
improved Monday, which will bring
many cities in the West several hours
nearer to the Atlantic coast. The
New York train will arrive in st.
Louis at 2:50 a. M, in time to connect
with the fast mail train over the Mis-
souri, Pacific for Kansas City and the
Iron Mountain train for Texas and the
Southwest. The east and west bound
trans will also make connections with
the Big Four, Vandalia, Baltimore &
Ohio Southwestern, Illinois Central
and other lines. An immense territory
in Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois,
Kansas, Texas and the West generally
will be benefited by the change. A
morning fast mail train will also be
run between st. Louis and Chicago.
The new trains will carry through
chair cars and sleepers between Kan
sas City and Toledo. At Toledo pas
sengers for New York can change
sleepers without leaving the train,
giving practically through sleeping
car service between Kansas City and
New York.
The improved service was brought
about by an agreement between the
government and General Manager
Ramsay of the Wabash. 1t is said that
before long the Wabash will be run
ming a six hour mail train between
Kansas City and st. Louis.

This encircled two human figures
clasping hands. These figures were
represented by doll babies with long,
flowing black hair, dressed in black
silk coats and trousers of genuine
Kentucky blue jeans. The shield was
composed of white carnations and the
stars in the blue field of immorteiles
above were worked in chenille. The
most striking feature, however, was a
bunch of "A perfect American Beauty
roses, each of huge dimensions. The
whole was supported on a broad base
of beautiful red orchids.
After this was put in place on the
desk there came other small floral
offerings.
The Senators who entered the cham
ber made facetious comments on the
appearance of Blackburn's desk, and
all were on tiptoe in expectation of
his appearance. Mr. Blackburn came
into the Senate from the cloakroom at
about 1920 O'Clock and was imme-
diately surrounded by his friends and
for half an hour held a reception on
the floor of the Senate. Republicans,
Democrats and Populists crowded
around to shake hands with him.
Party lines were broken on all sides
and Mr.. Blackburn seemed to be re-
ceiving the congratulations of his col
leagues on both sides of the chamber.
The Senator had all the appearance of
a man who had just defeated his enc
mics and been triumphantly e-elect-
ed after bitter fight rather than one
who had merely succeeded in pre-
venting the election of anybody else,
while being unable to secure his own
re- election.
1t was Senator Berry of Arkansas
who suggested the motto, "United We
Stand, Divided We Fall" Democrat
ic Senators are hoping that the emil
nent Kentuckian who presides in the
Territory Department will bear the
motto in mind.
While the Senators were con gratu
lating Blackburn in the middle of the
aisle the spectators were treated to a
sensation. Senator William E. Chan
dler left his seat, approached Black
burn and shook hands with him. The
Senators conversed in a genial fashion
for few minutes and parted. Black
burn and Chandler had not been seen
to converse before since the Kentuck.
ian pulled the New Hampshire mans
ear, nearly five years ago.

most conspicuous in the Senate, and
there it stood towering u feet high

SoME-but not very many-of our
Democratic friends claim that every
man who thinks the 16 to coinage of
silver by this country dangerous ex-
pertinent cannot be a Democrat. We
might just as well claim that those
who do favor the 16 to policy cannot
be Democrats. Democrats honestly
differ on this point, but every true
member of the party will abide the
result of the convention. In answer
10 the assertion that all free silver
men are Democrats and that all who
are opposed to that policy are Repub-
licans, we quote the following from
the Chicago Record. 1t is surely to the
point:
"a conference has been held at
Washington between the Republican
silver Senators who voted against the
house tariff bill and number of high
protection manufacturers, principally
from Pennsylvania, for the purpose
of arriving at an understanding upon
which the free silver advocates and
the high protectionists can unite. That
an attempt should be made to har
monize these two elements was to
have been expected.
"There ia similarity, an affinity
even, between the doctrines advocat-
ed by the free silver men and those
favored by high protectionists, and
this might lead the supporters of each
TO act in unison with the other. The
high protectionist asks for legislation
in the interest of his business, to en-
able him to charge higher price for
his products. The free silver man
asks for legislation that will make a
certain amount of silver sell for 81, or
much more than the present market
price. They have a similar object in
view, and in the logic of things might
be expected to unite and work to-
gether. This has been the contention
of the silver men all along, and the
failure of Congress to legislate in
favor OF free silver coinage was the
reason assigned by Senator Carter and
his Republican colleagues from the
mining states for refusing to allow the
tariff bill to pass. With tariff legisla
tion blocked, the manufacturers begin
to see the force OF Senator Carter's
argument, and at the conference re-
ferred to yielded to the free silver
men and declared openly for ''protec-
ton and himetallism.
GAS stated, there is a consistency be-
tween high protection and the free
coinage OF silver"

A NATIONAL CHARACTER.
Hon. Champ Clark Strong With the
People Everywhere.

From the Eureka Springs (Ark.y Times Echo
In the black waters of the politica
flood that swept over the land in 1s9-
many grand and good Democrats wen
down in defeat. Most in that goodly
company are submerged forever
Some will rise again.
1t is not exaggeration or sentiment
fulsome fiattery or laudation to sa,
that of all that magnificent crowd NJ
ones defeat was SO universally lament
ed by the whole nation as was that O
ex- Congressman Champ Clark, of the
Ninth Missouri District.
But he will rise again, because he
deserves to rise. He is again a can.
didate for the Democratic nomination
in the ''bloody ninth" 1t looks now
as if he would have no opposition IL
his own party. He should have none
1t would be shameful in the politicians
to attempt his defeat. 1t would be
disgraceful for the people to permit
it. Nothing but jealousy of AN over
shadowlng reputation that has be-
come national could oppose him.
There is no question of public pol
icy between him and his people. He
has long since proved himself right
with them on the two great questions
of tariff and finance. With ability
and fidelity he cared for the local
affairs of his people. This was much.
but there is more.
Champ Clark's one term in Congress
was the most remarkable in the his
tory of politics. He has become a
national character. He belongs to
the whole country. With all due re-
spect to older heads, he made the
best speech delivered in Congress on
the repeal of the infamous election
law. 1t endeared him to every South
ern heart. He is to-day the most
popular man in Arkansas outside of
the State. Take the three cities in
this corner of the State-Fayetteville,
Bentonvilfe and Eureka Springs
and we guarantee that Champ CLARK
is loved and admired by more Demo-
Gratis than any man now in Congress,
except our own Hugh A. Dlnsmore.
Champ Clark possesses the brains
of Benton, the nerve and backbone
of Francis Preston Blair, the sterling
character of John S. Marmaduke.
He is to-day the political Roman OF
the younger generation. He has a
destiny that no temporary defeat can
suppress.
Who in all this broad land did not
hear of Missouri and the Ninth Dis
trict while Clark was in Congress?
Who has heard anything from his
successor?
AT this distance it does seem to us
that Democrats, Republicans, Popu-
lists, high tariff and low tariff advo-
Gates, hard money and soft money
followers in the old Ninth should be
proud of Champ Clark. If we had a
vote in this "neck o. the woods" his
election would be sure. We believe
1t is certain anyway. ''It's foul bird
that will dirty it's own nest.''
