Men On the Train.

train bearing the vice presidential party
to the Grant ceremonies arrived at Jer-
ser City yesterday at S:34 p. IN. The
entire trip had been pleasantly pnsyent-
full and the senators and representatives
aeemed almost loath to leave the cars.
Vice President Hobart and Mrs. Hobart
walked at the head of the procession
through the small crowd on the plat.
form to the carriages which were wait
ing for them. Then they were driven
on board the Jersey Central ferry boat
Fanwood and landed lat Twenty-third

driven to their respective stopping
places. During the run from Philade!-
phia e: Jersey City the vice president
and Speaker Reed held their respective
dinner parties.
OF the famous men Whe Travelled on

Of than General Longstreet. His VEN
erable face and tall figure, now some
what bent with age, brought back to
mind the days when. in the prime Of his
life, he led the southern forces in many
Q fierce assault. Since those times be
has been United States minister to
Turkey and now holds first rank in the
shoet list Of the confederate generals
still alive. General Longstreet espec-
tally requested the Associated Press to
publiGh statement, all written by his
own, now somewhat feeble hand. He
said that it was fitting ON such an occa-
sion that he should speak, for he was
with Grant at West Point. served in
the same regiment with him before the
war and even introduced him to the
woman who became his wife.

WHEN Xerxes 2,37S years ago moved
down through Macedonia around Mount
Olympus and through Elassona and
Larissa to invade Greece he met no op-
position in the mountain passes, now the
scene Of furious conflict. 1t is said that
his army was the largest ever assembled,
numbering with those On the feet over
100000 men. Threatened by land and
sea by these tremendous forces, Greece
was not overwhelmed. The Greeks did
not yield and in the end the Persians
we're defeated. The fighting was not at
the mountain passes, not in Thesssly,
but farther south, where great battles
were fought and great fleets destroyed.
Should the Turks force their way into
the plains Of Thessaly they may find
their Thermopylae and their Piatses be-
yOnd. II they are driven from the passes
the Greeks will probably fight as their
forefathers fought centuries ago.-Inter

SENATOR Mason of Illinois introduced
q resolution in the senate Tuesday Of
last week looking to the adoption Of .
closure rule-some plan for ending de-
bate and coming to vote on tho subject
under discussion, when the majority of
the senate think there has been sufficient
debate. Mr.. Mason is correct in saying
that 1.-The people want legislation, and,
while they want it we'll considered, as is
their right to have it, they want action
at the proper time, as is also their right
TO have" When q deliberative body
allows an obstructive movement to de-
feat the will Of the majority on legisla-
tiOn, it is simply furnishing the minority
with an instrument of torture or execu-
tion to he nsed on the majority. 1t is
sound reason and good common sense
that there should be q rule to limit de-
bate and order the previous question.
