A MILE A MINUTE.

Day by day those who are charged with
the management Of the great railroads
Of the United States show their WORTH
ness of the trust repesed in them by the
appearance from time to time of some
one or other new device, either increasing
the safety or comfort of passengers or
increasing the speed and ease with which
public travel and commercial distribution
can be carried en-.
Americans in this particular branch Of
industry, as we'll as in most others which
relate to personal well being, are far
ahead of European countries. Our rail-
roads are better equipped. better operated
and more economically administered.
They give a service to the people with
which the best railroad service IN Eu-
rope does not admit of comparison.
There are many individual trains oper-
ated between the large cities of the
United States which make wonderful rec
ords each succeeding day in point Of
speed and general superiority. The fast
express trains between New York and
such cities as Chicago, Philadelphia, Bos-
ton and Washington make wonderful
anything that could be found elsewhere,
at least until recently. But as the press
dispatches within the past few days have
pointed out, a train service now exists
between Paris and Calais which covers
the distance at a uniform rate of speed
of a mile a minute.
To traverse 1876 miles day by day in 1S5
minutes comes pretty near to the realiza-
ton of the very perfection Of rapid train
service. With a perfect equipment AMI
capable administration it ought to be
feasible to maintain even that rate Of
speed for distances less than 200 miles
without endangering the safety of pas
sengers or making too serious a demand
en- the machinery necessary.
To men who are charged with the cares
of large business establishments, and
who are obliged in the transaction of
their business to visit adjacent cities.
time is very important element. 1t is
for their convenience alone that such
trains are or should be operated. And
Judging from the progress which is be-
ing made every day 1t VIII be but short
time until the rate OF mile minute
will be accepted as the standard speed
for special express trains which are op-
Grated between the large cities and are
designed to meet the requirements of the
travelling business public. For all gem
eraI purposes, however, the prevailing
rates Of speed ON American passenger
trains are sufficiently high.

If Taylor was the type of man whom
he has been endeavoring to- represent
himself as being he would not consent to
occupy the despicable position he does
occupy. He would have returned volun-
tarily and stood his trial.s Either he is
conscious Of his own guilt and is too
cowardly to take the consequences of it,
or else he has a mighty poor opinion of
his own state and its people, since he
gives both credit for submitting to
conspiracy to rob him, their former chief
executive. of his liberty and punish him
for crime which he never committed.
Nc view that can be presented will
save Taylor from the ilnputation Of play
ing the coward. His present position is
0ishonorabIe one In any event. He
ought to return to his state and stand
his trial He would do so If he were
conscious of his innocence. Some day he
will be caught and returned, and will

sHIELDING A coNsP1RAToR.

1t Will be remembered that the former
soon as the government Of the state
whose executive Office he had usurped
was taken control Of by the existing adj
ministration. The requisitfen which was
made on the Republican governor Of In
diana for the return of Taylor on the
charge Of completely IN the murder of
Gov. Goebel was not honored, and Taylor
has thus secured immunity against the
consequences Of any offense which he
may have committed fl connection with
the assassination Of Gov Goebel.
The chief grounds On which the reqllisi,
ton was denied was that Taylor would
not secure q fair trial, ana that his
prosecution, IL ending in conviction for
murder, would involve grave injustice.
The country well understood when tina
requisition was denied that partisan por-
tics was the true explanation
There is a general knowledge prevailing
Of the evidence on which the convictions
thus far had were obtained. None Will
say that that evidence does not warrant
the men who have been tried being In
dicted at least. Whether OF not we be-
lieve IN the guilt of the men who have
been tried for the murder of Gov. doe
bel, none Will deny that the ends Of pub,
lie Justice would have been disregarded
had they not been brought to trial. That
evidence shows too, that the man Taylor,
whose determination to hold on to the
office Of governor was the main cause of
the bloodshed and turmoil of months.

The practice of philanthropy may very
easily degenerate into mere tactless inter
meddIing in others affairs. The family
which needs assistance is always ready
to accept it when it is properly offered.
But 1t is not properly offered when it
comes in the form of unsolicited advice
or unnecessary interference with peoples
peculiarities.
Those who are constantly prophesying
the beautiful state of things which is
coming into existence as soon as the So
cialistic state is called into being would
do well to think of this matter of the re-
sentiment with which even the poorest
and the least well informed will receive
any interference either by the public or
by the Individual in the secrets of their
daily lives, and how resolutely they will

urDp1.psoMr PHILANTHRoPY.

The aphorism that the country Is best
governed which is least governed holds
as true today as it ever did, notwithstand-
ing the trend which is manifesting itself
in favor of the intervention Of govern
mental authority in all kinds OF private
affairs. The distinctively American dis
position is to leave the Individual to look
after his own. affairs, and to leave to him
his own ideals of what is best and most
pleasing, so long as it does not Interfere
with others rights to do so. This dispo-
sition shows itself in every relation In
social as well as in political life.
For some years past what is known
as the settlement movement has been In
successful progress In the large Ameri-
can cities The purpose of the movement
has been the betterment of the social con-
ditiens of the inhabitants Of the poorer
and more crowded districts of urban life.
It has met with great success, and has
spread quite generally throughout the
country.
Of late, however, there is disposition
shown on the part of those who are de-
signed to reap the benefit of the move
ment to find fault with their benefactors.
A reaction has set IN, and the poor of the
East side in New York city are under
stood to have risen In revolt against the
operation of the betterment movement.
The chief complaint is that there is too
strong a disposition shown among those
engaged in II to correct the habits of those
with whom they come In contact, and
that the direction IN which this meddling
disposition is most frequently shown IS
In trying to "Americanize'' the older sf
the boys and girls of foreign-bern fami-
lies.
This revolt is not at all surprising. The
danger was always present in the move
ment that 1t would become q fad. and
that those who engaged In It might for
get the real spirit from which the settle
| ment movement sprung. by setting them
selves up as the saviors of those whom
they were designed simply to visit and
neip aiOHR Or edSaeE pains III SoCtdl a1u
worldly concerns than those on which
they might otherwise travel. There is al
ways the disposition to patronize. This
the poor people are not willing to submit
to. Unnecessary interference with their
personal habits is never regarded favora-
bly,, and when the women of the settle
nrents proceeded to mold those whom
they went amcag according to their own
