DIsCoMFoRTs OF TRAVEL.
Brief Selections from the After Dinner
 Philosophy of Simeon Ford.

Brief Selections from the After Dinner
 Philosophy of Simeon Ford.
 It Is 6 conceded fact that there Is nothing more educating and refining than travel, 1t Is also conceded that nothing Is more conducive to travel than free passes. You can now under stand why I am so highly educated and so refined.
 1 know of nothing that so enhances the pleasure of railroad trip as a pass. 1t smooths out all the asperi- ties and fatigues of the journey. Tt maketh glad the wilderness, and the solitary places, and maketh the desert to rejoice and blossom as the rose" have often risen up and left q com fortable flreside, kind friends and so- licitous creditors, and journeyed to re- mote and cheerless localities in which was quite uninterested, lured thereto by the magic influence of pass. You all know how Svengali hypnotized poor Trilby, simply by few passes.
 The immortal poet, Longfellow, was way off when he wrote: Try not the pass the old man said; Dark lowers the tempest overhead, The roaring torrent is deep and wide, And loud that clarion voice replied Excelsior"
 Now the old man probably advised the youth not to try the pass because he knew that if he did and got one, he would never be asked to pay fare again without feeling that an outrage was being perpetrated on him. The opium habit is a positive virtue com pared with the pass habit. The fact that one is in no. way entitled to free transportation only stimulates one in the desire to ride at some other fel- lows expense.
 One of the most dangerous laws we have is the one forbidding office hold CTS to accept passes. It keeps our leading citizens out of politics. Some one said Gin moment of temporary alteration of mind) that he'd rather be right than president" But I'd rath- CT have an annual on the New York Central than be an assemblyman in the tents of wickedness That's an other biblical quotation, Golfers s Weekly.

NO WHITE RACE HORSES.

"Why is it that you never see a white race horse?" asked a man who takes much interest in unusual things. Did you ever see a pure white race horse? l venture the assertion that you never did in all your experience in running around over the country. No doubt you have seen an iron gray horse now and then, or a a-bitten gray. but you have never seen white horse among the thoroughbreds of your time. Mind you, I am not saying that there is no such thing as white race horse. I am simply commenting upon q fact which I I've observed, fact which may have been noticed by oth- CTS. I have seen gray horse now and then. A few years ago I-remember to have made n sMall bet on horse named BoaZ, n sort of fiea-bitten gray, owned by woman. who by the way, was not red-headed. But, during my experience around race tracks, which is not as broad as the experience of others. the pure white horse, or any thing approaching it nearer than the gray has been conspicuously absent. and I have often wondered why Of course there must be some good. deep- rooted reason for this extraordinary fact. Bay horses. so rrel horses and black horses are common enough at the various courses of the country, and they are all shades. so far as these col ors are concerned. Occasionally one may find horse bordering on the clay bank in color. horses with blaze faces, or with white hind and fore feet or sometimes having other distinguishing color marks. But where Is the white horse? He Is not at the race track where running races are on the card. and they are very scare on trottng and pacing tracks. I have never men, toned the curious fact to men who are experts when 1t omes to blooded horses, but I intend to do so. and the very first well posted race horse man I meet I will ask him why it is that there arc no white race horses and the req sons therefor There must be some re- ] lation between color and speed. ."-New Orleans Times-D Democrat.

'"The question of special privilege, the parent of monopoly, and opposition to which is fixed principle of the democratic party, is one upon which all democrats can unite, fight under the same banner and bring victory. On this platform, constructed as above in- dicated, it will be wise for us to place a young and vigorous democrat, whose democracy is known by his works whose name will appeal to the laborine masses of the country as well as tc the business interests and acceptable tc both" Thus speaks man who may have something to do with the next presidential candidate. Ex-Presldeni Cleveland, who is now being boomed for third term, may not be the idea. this man is looking for.

A writer in one of the May maga- zines, telling of the discovery of dia- monds in South Africa, says that 1t was not until the autumn of 1870 that the first diamond was found on the present site of Kimberley. There was a shallow, circular depression, known as Dutoispan, on the edge of which a farmer named Van Wyk lived in cab- in plastered with mud. This hut had no architectural pretensions, but, in its way, 1t went beyond the luxury of Fifth avenue, for the mud with which it was daubed was sprinkled with dla- monds. One day Van Wyk's children prospected the clustering of their home and extracted several gems. The farm CT and his friends began digging at the spot from which the mud had been ta' ken and found more diamonds. Min CTS swarmed in, and a new camp
 called Dorstfontein, sprang up. h June of the next year the Kimberley mine proper-one of the four great de- posfts that form the present Kimber
 ley group yielded its first diamond.

The Democrat suggests to the Cit

The Democrat suggests to the Citi- zens' alliance that it call off its dogs of war. What is the use of trying as one man said to put Waterbury on the hog" We will get along nicely if meddlers and hoodlums will only keep within bounds. The trying times we have experienced during the last few months are things of the past, so let the "dead past bury its dead" This agitation and looking around for evil doers where none exist, only keeps the flame aglow, and interferes with busl- ness generally. A man never can do as good work, nor does he do 1t with as good grace when he knows he is being watched. Rumors of spying on the streets, i'll the factories, stores and fast for several weeks. If a man can not be trusted by his employer 1t is better to discharge him at once than pay another to watch him. Let us have peace and good will once more i'll our city, and not have it as reported
 where neighbor is watching neighbor in an eIdeayor to fasten some crime upon him. We can expect to be writ
 ten up and the finger of suspicion point
 ed at us by outsiders while such things are carried on.

The boom for Grover Cleveland for the presidency has been launched by the Brooklyn Eagle and the Hartford Times endorses every word of 1t and says 1t stands ready to support the ex- president for another term. There is some question, however, in the minds of many whether Cleveland can ever again catch the votes of the masses, that is the votes of the laboring men. "He Isl far stronger than his party says the Eagle. Yes, and therein probably lies the danger. It has been said that he was stronger and greater than his party when he was president. That he ignored the wishes of the men who do. the voting and played for the bigger guns. It has also been said that if he carried out things as a good dem- ocrat should that the democratic party would now be directing the affairs of the nation.

The negro problem seems to be one of the questions of the hour. On a
 recent date the New York Sun intimat- ed that the repeal of the fifteenth amendment was one of the possibilities in order to strike at the root of the evil as it calls it. The editor of Golfers Weekly says the negro's salvation is to come from work. Northern adven- turer's wronged him equally with his white neighbor when they turned his attention to social equality and politi- cal right, when his first proper task was to make himself a useful and ne cessary part of the community in which he lived. Industrially, the negro has found the south more friendly than the north. The southerner Is glad u see him In almost any useful employ ment, where the north allows him to

do lttae except carry dishes and shine boots. We shall do well to bother our selves very little about the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments and contfih- ute what, we can affaord of our super- tor wealth ito the educational facilities of the poorer south. We are begin ming to undersand, also, hat the educa- ation which teaches a negro to make boots is better than the education which tells him what is the capital or Switzerland or who was the author Of "Marmion." Nothing ds more upset ting, more shallow and deleterlous, than "accomplishments"-mental ac- uuisition which rests on no solid foun- dation of usefulness and necessity. It Is fair to admit that in the direction of sound progress among the negroes and consequently among the whites, the south has been distressed and held back by the mistaken interference of the north, not only in such gross cases as the carpet baggers, the recontruc- tion doings of 1868, and the long years of bloody shirt" but also by the un' comprehending censure of which she is still the victim. Am attitude like 1 that taken by MT Cleveland is as friendly and as helpful to the negro as l to the white. He wisely waves away remote consequences, which are all guesswork and futile, and speaks only of the things which We can see. How ever the negro may stand in the scale of humanity when he has made fol himself this necessary foundation ot skill and thrift, It Is to his honor al ready that the man who taught MI Cleveland his doctrine, who has edIcat ed us all, north and south, to see clear ly in the fog ofIpassion and new colldi tions, is himself negro.

: II HOW NEW HAVEN ROAD GROWS
Comparison of It's Work In 1865 With
 That of 1902.

n.
 Lookino over an old railway direc- tory year 1865. it is interesting 10 note the changes in railway development which have taken place in 87 years.
 At that time there were in the United States 259 railroads, with n total mile age of 33,OOO miles, or an average Of 132 miles per road.
 Commencing with the east-there were in 1865 over TO railroads running east from New York in the New Eag- land states, from 25 to 60 miles each in length, which i'll 1902 are mostly all in- cluded in the two great systems of the New York, New Haven x Hartford railroad and the Boston < Maine rail- road which practically dominate the traffic of the New England states. Tn 1865 the Boston x Maine railroad had a total mileage of 701a miles, with B locomotives, 8 passenger cars and 50S freight and baggage cars. To-day this road has mileage of 2,268 miles, with 915 locomotives, 1,4oS passenger cars and 17,0S0 freight cars.
 The old New York X New Haven railroad ran from New York to New Haven with % locomotives, "A passen- ger cars and 365 freight and baggage 1 cars. The New Haven X Hartford railroad had 24 locomotives, B passen- ger cars and 300 freight and baggage l COTS.
 1 To-day the New York, New Haven X Hartford railroad operates 2,03S miles of railway, has 942 locomotives, 1867 Epascsenger cars and 13.5S5 freight cars l It has taken Ill all the lines in southern New England which in 1865 were in 1 dependent roads, with the steamer lines i from New York to New Haven and Fall River, and controls practically the
 transportation of the New England l states.

Germany,s Pay Weddings.

Germany has pay wedding, at which the bride receives her guests with a basin before her, in which each person on entering deposits a jewel, a silver spoon or piece of money. In some parts of Germany the rule is that the expenses of the marriage feast shall be met by each guest paying for what he eats or drinks. The prices paid for viands and drink are high and the young couple often make a hand some profit out of their wedding, real izing sum quite sufficient to start them nicely in life.--N. Y. Tribune.

Mob Hill School House social.

At the Mob Hill school house, which,
by the way, is one of the most excellent
buildings of its kind in this county, last
Friday evening was held a social which
might APPLY be called wahle-eating
contest, since that astronomical feat
was one, or in fact, the principal event
OF the evening.
There were great many pcople'iii at
tendance upon the function, from babies
in arms to the oldest pioneers in the
valley, and the way hot watlies, with
good old Vermont maple syrup, with
steaming coffee disappeared was GER
tainly complimentary to those who had
the pleasure of making them The gem
eral price OF admission was % cents,
which entitled the person to hot wafiles
and coffee, provided of course, that they
limit their appetite to a reasonable num-
Der of the tempting delcacies. 1t is
said that a number of the gentlemen
present exceeded their allotment and
were consequently the victims of an eX-
ira tax, justly imposed. Brother James
Greene Of North Yakima, aside from his
door fees OF % cents, was compelled to
liqdate to the further extent OF l.50
The total number of waffles he is said
to have eaten doesn't hardly seem cred.
liable and consequently will not be pub
lished.
a very nice program was also rend-
cred much to the delight of everyone,
and as the second OF a series of enter
tainments to be given at the Mob Hill
school house, the ''wafile contest" social
was a most decided success.
