atxma'1 dcgrtie, to ImpraM upon the
inlnile of the young ieople now before

womlt-iful ioailillltiti of human life.
I heard the editor of tbe WttfrBttiK
nily a few inoiitlia alni-o, at the oH'U-
Itigof the Normal aehool, in addreaaiug
ho atudutite, tay tluit the only thing

yet -the liilolli-ct, and thin alone, would

of it, you that are Ji'at eUtrUng, aud

Iowm: lie auld that whllo he had

ilcrtvrt and waste placue in hi life,
made ao by roaaon of the ueglcet aud
nnuatU'iitliiu to the little things that
t-aiue before hi in during Ids school
days. Homomhur it Is the little things
that go to make up life. This maxim

Whether or not It Is expedient for
tbe government to own aud operate
the rail load is a question which has
beeu much delated, and the discussion
of w hich will continue a long lime bo-
fore so radical a change In our Institu
tions is ejected. ISut the advocates of
that policy have some ground, it must
be admitted, for the claim that their
favorite measure is not, in priuclple at
least, an absolute Innovation. The
status of the railroads Iu this country
is already very far removed from that
of ordinary private property. ' The en
tering wedge, In the form of legislative
interference with their afrajra, has been
so often lua-rted, that tt would be hard
to say which ha now the larger control,
the government or the owner and
nominal mauagers of the roads.
An example of this divided aud con
flicting authority Is represented by the
action token not long since by the
Oregon slate board of railroad com
missioners In the matter of freight rates
on the Union Pacific railroad. Taking
the ground that the previously existing
rates were uuwarrautably high, the
commissioners not only reduced them
about 15 per cent, on horse, mules, etc,
and 33 per cent, on grain aud mill
stuffs, but Insisted on tbe Immediate
enforcement of the new' schedule, and
denied the request of the company for
a suspension of the rule for fifty day
to enable them to collect the'necessary
data for a representation of their side
of the question. Uuder the circum
stances, no alternative remained to tiie
company but to take the matter Into
the courts, and this we uuderstaud
they at once proceeded to do.
A company which only makes cars
and runs them over lines belonging to
other people Is not precisely a railroad
company, But It has been decided In
California that it is equally subject to
state control. Tbe Issue was raised In
cidentally to the dispute, which, has
for some time been cart led ou betweeu
the l'ullmuu company aud the passen
gers who use Its cam, ou the joint
whether the porter shall be allowed to
pull down the upper berth when only
the lower berth is taken, and the oecu-
pnut of that berth desires, as he gener
ally docs, all the air aud head-room
whloh the whole section affords. The

that they had tbe same Jurtsdlctloo ,
over the Pullman car as over tba ear
belonging to th railroad company;
that they had tbe Jpower to regulate
the rale charged by tbo company; sad
that they were correct In taking th
ground that a passenger was entitled

ever, to the Pullman company that
they would be Justified io okargiago
higher rate for tbs lower than for th
upper berth, toe former being almost
universally preferred.

sympathies are naturally with tba

country of regulating tbo conduct of

thority. It appears In various forms,

Home students begin a language far tba

others acquire them either for profes

whatever be the motive tt is well to set

grasp of the theories of modern schol
ars about tbe origin and development
of speech. Te learn language without
knowing anything of tbe science of lar
guage Is like acquiring the art of pot

knowledge of the principles of electrical
science. ... - -.

from tbe standpoint of universal prin
