He lias obtained a large number of «|g- natures. t^Tbe New York dispatches •peak of tho Vanderbilts "iovadit g" or proposing to invade, "Gould's ter­ ritory." It sounds rather odd, doesn't It, in a great, big democratic govern­ ment like this--a government of the people and for the people, to hear a eeetien of the country spoken of as Gould's or Vanderbilt's or as this or that railroad's territory. But we have It just the same. We may yet need more than the Inter-State Commerce ¥111 to convince these railroad mag­ nates that tbe country doesn't exist •imply and solely for them. tSr According to a writer in tho 8t Louis Qlobe-Democrat a peculiar sys­ tem of railway charges is in vogue In California. He says: "1 discovered that in tbe local travel the railroads have three classes of coaches, with dress as a distinction. I was rather roughly clad after my mountain trip, and approaching the ticket-seller*s window, laid down a 120 gold p'ecea •First,seoond, or third class?' I was asked, and replied that I usually trav oled flrst-class. He surveyed me and then remarked that I'd have to go second-class or not at all. It did me no good to object, either. I found first-class to mean elegant coaches where well dressed people only were allowed; second-class for men of or­ dinary or rough dress, and tblrd-class for Chinamen and Degrees. (0*A clericsl error Is said to have been discovered in tbe Inter-State Commerce Law which will em bar ass Its enforcement seriously. It consists In tbe transposition of clauses in a way to mtterially change the sense of the passage in which it occurs, If it does not make nonsense of it. In the bill actually agreed upoa in the con­ ference, there was the following: Nothing in this act shall be construed to prohibit the issuance of mileage, excursion, Or commutation passenger tickets. In the final copying and revision of the bill two clauses were transferred •o that this provision read as follows: Nothing in this act shall apply to the iasu. aao*ofmileags, excursion, or commutation passenger tickets. The difference between these two passages Is very evident, though the meaning of tho last will bo very diffi­ cult to determine. One of the first du- tiec of the commission, when appoint­ ed will be to put a construction upon this section, though there will be enough else to puzzle both the Com­ mission and railroad men for months to come. from a distant tree-top, or &soft trill near at hand gives us a foretaste of the grand outburst of melody to greet us when the full oompany arrives. Open air co icerts will be given every morn­ ing by songsters that would drlva even Pattl herself to despair. All are cor­ dially InviteJ to attend* "without money and without price.1* It is to be hoped that all interested In our cemetery will bestir themselves to see that the improvements begun wish so much vigor throe years ago, are completed. It is a discredit to the place, and a disgrace to those having the matter in charge to permit the work to languish as it has done. With money in the treasury sufficient to pay fer keeping the cemetery in order, aud nearly enough to make a sidewalk to the main street of the village, there Is no good excuse for such neglect. There Is no reason, except want of public energy, and public spirit, why wo can­ not have ^continuous walk from the church to the cemetery gate. As it Is, those wishing to follow a funeral pro­ cession, or to visit the graves of their friends, are obliged to wade through the mud or dust of tbe road, or plow through the weeds and brush where the sidewalk ought to be. We are sat­ isfied that this work oace completed, would be a source of satisfaction to all, for nothing more clearly indlcMes the degree or civilization in a community than tho care bestowed upon its churches and cemeteries. There (ire several cases of measles is town now. If the disease spreads it may seriously interfere with the school which opens again March 21st. There are more unoccupied houses In town now than we have known for some time past. Mrs. O. A. Tabor has tbe finest col­ lection of bouse plants we have seen this winter. It contains a large variety of choice kinds, that, by their thrift and beauty show the loving care they have received. My dear sisters spring Is hero and we all have plans for work suitable to Che season. Don't forget to plan for a few flowers at least. Throw away the fancy work if need be--dispense with some luxurious dishes on your table and plant flowers for your own» health aud pleasure and the joy of the behold er. Breathe God's pure air out of doors, and add something to the ibeauty of living. SPECTATOR. fVThc silk Industry of tho coun­ try and tho prosperity of Paterson, N. J., are in a bad way, and 20,000 persons who usually earn 9100,000 a week, are forced to remain idle,iu order that an unreasonable scheme of the Knights of Labor may be forced to success. This Is nothing more nor leas than an at­ tempt to make the silk manufacturers of Paterson collectors or guarantors of the organization dues of the Knights; but It Is disguised as a de­ mand that no person shall be employ­ ed who is not In good standing as a Knight. Of course the manufacturers refused to make any such promise. The "boss" Knights might, with equal justioe, demand that they should in­ dorse tho promissory notes issued by tho organization. Tho result of the strike is uncertain; but a clearer in­ stance of the unjust tyranny on the part of a labor society is not seen. Andinwhata grip the silk weavers themselves must be held to endure the loss of #100,000 a week, rather than see their leaders defeated in MI UN Wise attempt to coerce capital! A Complete Train, At tbo works of the Pullman Car Oompany, In Pullman City, Illinois* complete train of cars is being built. This will be put on the Pennsylvania road about ten dayi from now to rnn as tbo New Tork and Chicago limited. There is no increase in the number of cars in tho train. When it has its full complement it will contain sleepers dining and drawing room cars and a •moker. But instead of being made up of distinct cars, with open plat­ forms separating them, tha train will bo virtually one long car. The plat­ forms will bo roofed over, so as to be weather-proof, and also walled In with wooden partitions much the same as mail cars are today.
