There is a wurious species of writers on railroad subjects, some of them ed itors of railway journals, who express themselves as if they had never heard of a loooinoUve engineer. Their pens move with contempt and anger when the nnsizestion la made that men who manage locomotives have the right to be called engineers. The snob writers mention enginemen, runners and en sine runner, but never locomotive engineers. They shudder to call any one an engineer who does not oarry in bis pocket a college graduate's diplo ma. Moved by this snobbish sent! ment. some railroad companies call their engineers "enginemen," but it does cot appeal to publio taste. The American public has decided that the title of the man running is engineer, and nothing that envy or. petty jeal ousy can do will ever take that appel latlon away from the popular tongue!
