ENGLISH RAILROAD MURDERS.

The English newspapers generally
 make it point to dwell at length up-
 on every story of a railroad "hold-up
 in this country and find in it evidence that railway travel in the United
 States is fraught with as much danger
 as horseback travel through the wilds
 of Sicily. But the s'hold-ups'' are gen.
 orally affairs that most directly inter-
 est the express and railroad companies
 themselves, while the United States
 government occasionally has an inter- est in the matter. The passengers are
 mere spectators. But the menace of
 railway travel in England is of a far
 different character. The following dispatch from London reveals some of the marked discomforts, to put the sit l uation mildly, connected with English railway traffic:
 The numerous railway mysteries (there have been five of them since Sunday have caused a renewed out cry against the dangers of compart- ment carriages, and there are demands that legislation compel the railroads to adopt corridor cars
 The bodies of three gentlemen pas sengers have been found this week on railroad tracks in different parts of the country under circumstances pointing to foul play and two men nave been shot in railroad carriages
 Everybody remembers the case of Colonel Baker, who made a brutal at- tack on a woman in an English con- partment car, and nearly everybody who reads knows that many similar cases have been reported since that time. Five railway passengers were killed in a mysterious way last week in England, but such a thing never happens in this country. A woman can enter railroad car at New York and travel alone to California with just as much safety-and probably more-as she could walk through the streets of her home town at night The corridor style of railway cars used in the United States makes it impossible save in the case of a maniac with homlcidal proclivities, for such trage- dies to occur here. Every man is the protector of every woman ana every man considers himself the protector of his fellow passengers in this coun- tidy. But that is impossible when the English compartment cars are used.
 Our English friends have made won derful progress in railroad affairs along many lines, but so long as they persist in using the old fashioned com partment cars, where two or three per sons are locked in together, and are not in touch with the train hands. we may expect to hear of many such cases as are recorded in the London dispatch. Five railroad mysteries in the United States-with an area of 3,602,990 square miles, with 1S1 900 miles of railroads arouse pub lie indignation to an extent that would be felt by the railroad managers. And the American people are supposed to be patient and long suffering Eng land has an area of only 50,S12 square miles, with 21,174 miles of railroads. Our English cousins are proverbial 'kickers,' yet they continue to tolerate the compartment cars and the conse- quent railroad mysteries" But the 1 change will come some day.

To the Editor of the Press:

To the Editor of the Press:
Pardon a strangers criticism, but
among the many evidences of enterprise
and public spirit exhibited by your beau
tiful oity one thing seems to me in strik-
ing contrast, lamentably neglected.
A stranger like myself would naturally
suppose the house in which Longfellow
was born to be one of Portland's most
precious treasures, and what Yves my sur
prise and disappointment at finding it
used for cheap tenement and having a
neglected appearance.
At the extreme corner of the building,
rather inappropriate place, is an in
artistic and unattractive sign which
states in braggadocia style more in
keeping with a modern advertisement
than tablet, in menoriam Of our great
and beloved poet, that this is the building
in which Henry w. Longfellow was
born.
felt sure your citizens would be glad
this was called to their attention, and re-
ceive strangers observation in the
friendly spirit they were given.
1t would seem to me a happy accom-
plishment if the city would receive the
building and devote it to a Longfellow
museum. A IRAVELLER.
