c. & O. Hospitals.

The question of establishing and
maintainina hospitals for the use of
sick or injured railroad men belonging
to the g. & o. system has been under
discussion for several years by it's Of
ficials. And it would now seem, as
result of these deliberations. that the
time has arrived for making practical
test of the plan.
Other great railroad lines have es-
tablished hospitals for the comfort and
relief of their sick or crippled employ
ees, and SO far as the Review is advised
most beneficent results have followed.
With equal conditions, and under a
wise and liberal policy, SO characters
tic of the q. u 0. management, similar
good results will be accomplished here
aud the hospital system be made as
popular as it is on other lines.
With q view TO the early adoption Of
the hospital system ON the g. & o. Ry.
Mr.. Geo. w. Stevens, the general man
ager of the company, has selected a
committee Of four trustworthy railroad
lnen-an engineer, conductor, fire.
man and brakeman-and furnished
them with round trip passes to go to
St. Louis and Moberly, Mo-, to inve.ti-
gate the hospital system on the Wa
bash & Pacific Rys. Mr.. Charles A..
Craft of Clifton Forge, who will leave
on his mission today, will represe mt
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, and will be joined at Hunting
ton and Cincinnati by a representative
from each of the other branches of the
train service named. DR.. Brock of
Richmond, one of the company's sur
geons, will also accompany the COM
mittee.
The Review understands, that be-
sides minute inquiry into the matter

ton OF this character, the Chesapeake

aud o. company further, we learn.
proposes to make up any deficiency
which may occur in maintaining their
hospitals after collecting from Is to SO
cents per month from all employees
who have worked half a month OF
more.
The Review believes that the report
of this committee will be favorable to
the adoption of the hospital system on
the G. and 0. railway lines; and ii
further believes that large percentage
of the employees of the road will &C
quiesce in the opinion that the move
u. at is wise and beneficent one, and
will heartily approve the wholeso me
innovation.
Gladys Inn, admirably located and
constructed, need not remain idle long
after it's abandonment few months
hence as hotel It is just such a
building as it needed for a first class
railway hospital, and the Review is in
formed it will be used for that purpose
in the event it shall be decided to adopt
the hospital system.
OF course there will be other hospital
buildings erected; one possibly at

Prosperity has at last hit New York

broker firm of Decker, Howell & Co.,

the largest firms in the street and
caused such excitement in certain

for years. The only place not disturb

Congressional Folly.

Citizens of the United States haye
been accustomed to believe that Great
Britain desires the United States to
grant free trade. and from time to time
a good showing has been made On the
large purchases made by Great Britain,
that the United States should reduce
tariff rates. Our readers might do well
to carefully consider whether this
statement is correct! Assisted by the
evidence of British Statesmen-not the
gambling Sheffield Cutters, or Welsh
Tin plate men-it would seem, it has
been asserted that so long as the
United States continues to enact her
high protective tariffs, except at loss,
the United States cannot to any seri-
GUS extent enter or perceptibly inter
fere with any British market. At
lower prices and of higher quality than
in the United States produce is sold in
London and other English cities. The
loss or difference is made good by
means of the high protective tariff,
which enables inferior grades of pro
duce to sell for still higher prices, with
big profits, in the United States. For
nearly four years it will be impossible
to alter the will of the people on this
great question. In the mean time, our
neighbor, Canada, gives to Great
Britain reduction of twenty-five per
cent. on the duties charged on the
same classes of goods from the United
States, and this country has no voice
to utter complaint. The ends of good
government will not be served by
drawing the scent Of Hawaiian annex
alton across the trail of legitimate en-
terprise. Cuba, seemingly, is not re-
garded by the executive as a safe SUBJ
ject for diplomatic tricks or feats of
political legerdemain, certainly might
have been expected ere this to conjure
and entertain misguided United States
citizens. To tho g persons great or
small, who for the indifference, the
neglect, and the folly are responsible,
as we'll as to those men elected to office
and whose actions are not subservieDt
to the peoples wili-there is but one
word of expressive warniDg-Beware !!

Mrs. Lease has greatly elevated her
self in the opinion of the Republicans
and gold people, by declaring that
''the silver question is an issue of the
past" Should this prophesy of Mary
Ellen prove true. it will be the first, for
she has always missed the mark she
shot at before. Mrs. Lease works for
money, and doubtless she thinks she

The seating capacity of the To.

utmost, and for time it looked as
though standing room would &c
above par, on Friday evening OF
this week.
The occasion was meeting of
the Toponis literary society, re,en
forced by the teachers and pupils
of three school districts in this
neighborhood.
A splendid program was pre-
! pared and very effectively carried
out. Thirty seven selections from
standard authors were rendered in
a very pleasing manner, interspers-
ed by music, both vocal and instru
mental. To much praise cannot
be given those who teach the
young ideas bow to shoot" for the
manner in which their pupils &C
quilted themselves. The pupils of |
of district No. 2, under the man.
agement OF Miss Lulu Waring, did !
remarkably well and each one
showed the thorough training to
which they were subjected.
Those of No. 5 bore the indelible
stamp which her pupils carryes,
and which says palmer than words,

efficient teacher Miss Edna Nc
Coy.
The school children of No. 10
made very creditable display and
he memory of their well doing
ought to be a source of qualification
o their teacher Miss Kate Dryden,
yhois an indefatigible worker in
he cause of education.
District No, 6, though not so well
epresented in numbers, showed
he careful training of Miss Libbie

xcellent literary feast, the house !,
