AMONG THE RAILWAYS.
Rock Island Will Rum Cheap Ex-
cursions TO Colorado.

The Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific railway. which made phe-
nomenal success of cheap excursion
rates to Colorado last season. has
again asked it's competitors in the
Western and Southwestern Passen-
ger associations to agree upon a Sc
ries of cheap excursions to and
from Denver, Colorado Springs, and
Pueblo for the approaching season,
on the following basis: Tickets to
be sold from Chicago and all terri
tory up to Missouri river, June is,
rs, July 1G, % and 30, Aug 6, l3,
20 and 81, at rate of one fare plus
50, or $3.50 for the round trip.
On July and 8 and Sept. 3 and
10 a rate of S25 is to be made from
Chicago, and Sl5 from Missouri
river points for the round trip. In
termediate territory will have pro-
portionate rates. Tickets are to be
sold from Missouri river points one
day later than the dates given above
in each case Proportionate rates
will be made to and from Glenwood
Springs, Salt Lake City and Og-
den.
A series of East bound excur-
sions is alo proposed, tickets to be
sold from Colorado common points
every Thursday, commencing with
June 20 up to and including Sept
u, at rate Of one fare plus 81 for
the round trip. Al tickets will be
limited for return passage to Oct.
81. These rates will be rendered
connecting lines for basing purpos
es, which will probably insure a
very low basis of rates throughout
the United States for these excur
sions.
The Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific will unquestionably make
these rates and arrangements eff
fectiYe, regardless of the action Of
its competitors, and will run special
trains, only one night out to and
from Colorado on the dates named.

The President and War Depart

pressure that is being brought to
bear upon them for the appointment
of young colored men who have SER

tenants in the regular army. Not
only have several Northern Con-
gressmen and Senator or two
asked for such appointments, but
colored bishops and clergymen have
appealed 70 the President in this
regard
Experience has shown that no
matter what the theories of the
equality may be, colored men as
commanding officers are not salts
