Hexky
Cr.AY once said he
"would rather be right than be
president." It was one of the
Roman customs when a young man
was about entering a warlike cam
paign, for the mother to present
hitn trith a shield, with the terse
remark, "This, or upon it." The
interpretation of the maternal ad
vice was an admonition to the de
parting son to bring the shield
back or be borne triumphantly to
his childhood home upon it. In
gathering up the slain after a battle
those who were found with wounds
in the hack were buried without
remark; but those v. ho were slain
by wounds in front were placed
upon their shields as bWs, and
covered with pu lands, and carried
with military honors back to the
paternal root with song?, and ic

ter for the American people. After
the smoke of the contest has dis
appeared, and the victors and the
vanquished are rewarded what
honestly belongs to them, how
pleasant the memory of an honor
able contest, where no word of per
sonal bitterness, no unfair state
ment, no low and vulgar insinua
tions, no private slander and abuse
had escaped the lips, or had lu-i-n
used to defame the opposing
party. "Whether the place had
been won or lost; whether victory
or defeat had been written on the
brow of the contestant, the honor
had not been tarnished; and the
patriotic fatheis and mothers could
take the hand of the conqueror or
conquered and proudly claim him
as their own.
-Speaking of Vanderbilt's piob-
able connection with Pacific coast
railroad building, a New York
special says that for two years past
the Union Pacific has contemplated
a new route to the Pacific coast
and some months since began the
construction of the Oregon Short
Line, with the ultimate intention of
extending the road to the coast.
More recently arrangements have
been perfected for a second line
from Utah through Nevada to San
Francisco. The Yanderbilt system
proper consists of the most directly
connected roads from New York
to Chicago, with an offshoot to the
Mississippi river and St. Louis.
He has personal management of
these roads and owns an interest
in the Chicago and Northwestern
and has recently purchased a con
trolling interest in the Chicago
Minneapolis & Omaha roads.
These under the controlling inter
est of Yanderbilt may very
properly bo considered a portion
of the New York Central system
to be worked in unison from that
city to Omaha and points in the
northwest? The reeentacquisition
of the Hannibal " and St. Joseph
road, with its web system, will
fairhy make connections with it.
The combination of these loads
with the Union Pacific is highly
probable as soon as the latter road
shall complete its extension to the
Pacific coast, if they do not pre
cede that event.
"Wuat becomes of all the pins V"
remains one of the great unsolved
questions of the day; but the
question recently jisked by a
London paper, "what becomes of
all the old pianos?" has been
recently answered by a New
York journal which goes on to
show that ncaity every vessel
coming across the Atlantic from
Europe brings a consignment of
cracked and crazy old pianos,
which are doctored and varnished,
and otherwise tinkered" up, and
finally worked off on unsuspecting
American purchasers.
Alex. H. Stewiixs has been

Fearful charges of cruelty
come from New Tacoma, where
respondent of the Oregonian says: S
They e:e the sorriest looking
crowd I have seen for many a day.
They were thii teen or fourteen in
number; of these six or eight had
i blackened eyes, seven of them had
scalp wounds, some quite serious
and apparently of recent inflic
tion. One stated that his jaw had
been iracturcd by a blow from" the
second mate. Three affirmed that
they had their noses breken: one
had a bad swelling in his neck,
produced, he said, by a blou in-
flicted by a bclaving pin; live or
six had bruises on their arms and
bands, and two or tlnce had black
and blue and green blotches
over the black and shoulders, and

The white men at work on tho
Northern Pacific in Montana, have
struck because their boarding
1u:um men have advanced the
price ot board. -The latter claim
that owinu to the hiirh price of I

beef, etc., they are constantly los-,

compromised by those in charge of
the work' declaring that no more
than $1.50 :i week shall be

The Railway Age reports con
struction of 1,009 miles during Sep

is far greater than was ever before
built in one season.
