FINEST RAILWAY IN THE WORLD.
The American public has many
grievances against it's railroads. but in
many particulars the American rail-
way Is unquestionably the finest in the
world. Travellers from Europe say that
rates of fare are lower In this country
than elsewhere, and that the passenger
gets much more comfort. Whether this
is so or not, it is certain that American
ingenuity mas ueNelOped the arts or car
and locomotive building i'm many par
ticulars to a point far ahead Uf any
thing that has been attained in any
other country. The fact is gratifying
to the national pride, but even more
pleasant i'm some material aspects is
the fact that one of the immediate re =
suits had bccn considerable profit to
the national purse. The splendid be-
ginning of the last two years is only a
beginning American locomotives have
found their way into the different cCun-
tries, and they are now at work prov
ing themselves. There has set to be u

gincs have been tried in competition in

now having an opportunity to satisfy

these on a tin and put in a hot oven to

vain glory be suppressed, and this spirit
of humility be made TO take its place?
Looking more deeply into the heart for
the springs of being, the apostle answers
Vcrsc n men must be unseltsh. They
must not make their own welfare, their
reputation, ease and profit. their only
concern. They must regard the interests
of others. (Romans xii, l5D They must
feel that in a sense they are keepers OF
others, the very opposite of that spirit
which dominates the unholy man. (Gen.

good Samaritan. duke y, 81 It makes

will produce enough pines to make
200 gallons of syrup, while the cost
of growing the pines, fertilizing the

"A publication of the official list of

lahassee, there are thirty-fve teachers,
while in the colored schools there are
thirty-eight. While this shows that
the colored population of Leon county
is larger than the white, it also shows
that the colored children are receiving
equal educa tional facilities with white
children, and this, too, when the en-
tire control of the matter is in the
hands of white democrats. AS the
above condition exists in the county
where the State capital is located it is
fair to presume that the same justice
