Train Service Nay Be Improved

\ letter from Rev. Dr. SuiiInCcr to
Charlie. :. Fee. General Passenger
Agent oi the Northern Pacific ut st.
Paul, has elected the gratifying fact
that the matter OF improvement OF the
local service is receiving consideration
from those having authority to make
such changes a. are required. DIR. ;.
lately went out from this city on 4
freight cabuo-c with nineteen other
Passengers. most al whom had been
transferred from the stub" passenger
train, which stops at this depot at
10 20 A. NJ. and patiently waits for the
hands on the clock to reach the fig
urcs 3 0J l.. NJ, when it lazilv putls
away from the depot on its return.
These passengers were entitled to bet
ter treatment than to he incontinently
dumped ut Il way station and obliged
to travel H. freight or hire 4 livery rig
to proceed on their journey. The rev.
crcnd doctor showed up quite plainly,
it is surmised, the injustice of such a
service, for Mr.. Fees reply has been
immediate and encouraging. He says,
writing under date OF the 29th ult.:
IL find here this morning your favor
of April -, regarding train service on
the Olympia Gray's Harbor and South
Bend lines. This matter has been re-
cciving attention, and only to-day have
talked the matter over with our general
superintendent, Mr.. Pearce, and it is be-
lieved that some arrangement of service
can be made before great while that
will do away with the complaints to
which YOU refer. Whatever change it
will be found practicable to make will be
advised to all interested through our
general agent, Mr.. Timing, of Tacoma"
1t is difficult to account for such
wretched service as the company has
accorded the capital city for several
years past, unless it be to punish the
community for failure of some Of
the subscribers to the $4,000 subsidy
for the company several years ago, to
pay, after the the boom in realty had
burst and they had become bankrupt,
in consequence of shrinkage in all
property values. If that be so, has
not the full measure of punishment
been accorded? Should all our people
be punished for the recreancy of the
few, or should the default of the few
who were public-spirited enough to as
sumo responsibility be considered a
heinous sin when the failure of their
enterprise, which was based on a rea-
sonable hope of success, had made it
utterly impossible for them to keep
their pledge?
1t is the part of wisdom for corpor-
atoms to keep in sympathy with the
people, when it is possible for them TO
do SO. This is peculiarly applicable to
railroads, whose earnings are distrib-
utcd over so wide fields OF operation.
The percentage increase of business
which a friendly cooperative spirit
promotes affords a good margin for in
creased profits and prospective divi-
dends.
1t is hoped that this view of the
matter will &C tuate the executive off,
GERS of the company, in affording the
capital city and the travelling public
reasonable facilities for transacting
the business that is offered.

AND now comes Tesla with his
40Oth announcement of another
wonderful discovery. This time he
tells how he can sink the biggest war
ship with as little effort as to say
"Hello" through telephone, but
he is not ready, yet, to make his discov-
cry public. Well, in this nick of time
why don't he show his hand and help
our struggling navy. Why in Hell.
len Blazes don't he sink the whole
Spanish squadron and embalm his
name forever in the same notch with
Admiral Dewey? These announce.
ments of great discoveries are getting
to be painfully monotonous. Let us
have little capitalization just for
the sake of variety.

HEART SORROWS

8vUsy bosom hath tts sorrows.
Every heart its bitter woe:
2asks they are. instead OF faces.
Which are passing to and fro.
Could We know the weary watchingA
Could we count the silent tears
See the hearts all scared and bleeding.
Telling on through weary years,
Struggling with oppression. maybe
Striving meath misfortupe's ban.
Smiling. while the soul Is starving.
For the sympathy OF man
Would we not withhold the censure
Trembling on our thoughtless lips?
Ali we know not OF the trials
Which have wrought this dark eclipse!
Hope and faith In God are stranded:
Friendship fades like morning dew;
Wrong and scorn have scared and blighted
Hearts that once were brave and true.
Sin and poverty. II may be.
Drusged ;or him lfe's bitter cup;
But. remember, he's your brother.
Lend a hand to help him up
Nor with righteous Indignation.
Or a Pharsaic pride,
Fold too close thy spotless garments,
Or. pass on the other side.
