THERE is q rumor ahoat that there

in railroad manipulation, as the ten
dency has for sometime been toward
consolidation o: independent systems
until there remains only q very few
large systems. And these few are
clsmoripg for Congress to pass bill
allowing them to pool their interests,
which, if Congress- future record is to

Whenever you talk to certain class Of
men-the kind who don't own any

lIoS. WIELIAM GoEBEL, who has
just been named by the Kentucky
Democrats for Governor, was, prior
to 1896, a sound money and a Carlisle
man. Before the Chicago convention
met he was in Washington and in an
interview stated that the Kentucky
Democratic convention of that year
would declare for sound money, and
that Hon. John G.. Carlisle was their
choice for the Presidency. In this
connection we are reminded of sim
lar interview given in Washington
about the same time by the present
chairman OF the Democratic State
committee Of North Carolina, to the
effect that North Carolina would de-
clare for gold and go for sound
money man. The Chicago convention
came along and swept these gold bugs
OF their feet, but is there any one
who does not suppose that both MIR.
Goebel and Mr.. Simmons are sound
money men at heart, and would vel

that some time will eiapss before the

ter they have had An opportunity to see

Otis. 1t is LEANED at the War Depart

new organizations to Gen. Otis ct the
present time. The rainy season having
set in, it is not believed that these
troops will be necessary for service. ex-

Every town Of any importance in
Europe has one or more public baths
which have a swimming pool and are
open the year round, says q writer in
Self Culture. In our own country
interest in this subject is beginning to
awaken and is becoming more and
more widespread. 1t may we'll be
claimed that no better model for imi-
tation has been devised than the
Brookliue Mass. public baths, AMI
it is to be hoped thai many American
towns, small and large, will follow
the example. Why should not every
city have its public baths in each
ward, especially if, as is likely, they
could be made paying investmentsl
Without doubt, the motto which the
Brookline authorities have chosen for
their institution is true: "The health
Of the people is the beginning Of hap
