Whether they shall have a rail- aoad commission with plenary pow ers, one with limited powers, or none at all—these are the points the Texans are considering. It is natural that inquiries should be made concerning the Georgia commission and its results. Our railroad commission was created by the constitution of 1877. At first it was strongly opposed in ceriain r qaarte'r3, but it was founii that daring the first five years of its existance 5,000 miles of rail way were built, against less than 100 for the five years preceding.

The methods of Mr. Tilden have been imitated by politicians of lesser note since, but not one of his imitators possess the same grasping mind and force of char acter to make their political per sonality felt. Now, contrast the conduct of- Mr. Cleveland from the time he was sheriff to the govern orship of New York, to the presi dency of the United States, to his present retirement. There is not apparent one single effort of his to direct his party, to interfere with the party machinery, or to dictate directly or indirectly to his party managers. While he has not shirked the duty of an American citizen in ex pressing his views of public af- foirs when asked to do so, there is not a man in New York who has less to do with his party manage ment than Mr. Cleveland. He has absolutely held himself aloof from entangling alliances. Amid the wrangling and pulling and hauling of democratic partisans, the like of which cannot be seen outside the city and state of New York, he has maintained a dignified silence and wise neutrality. With all the fascination of political warfare, local power, and the most strenu ous efforts of party henchmen to involve him on one side or the oth er, he has maintained his position without wavering. If that were by design, Mr. Cleveland could be set down as one Of the most astute politicians of the age. Bat it is the character istic of the man. What others might do for an ulterior purpose is the result of Mr. Cleveland’s nature. You can trace it all through his political life. In this characteristic ‘ lies his political strength. He never ran a politi cal machine—he is not running a political machine now. He never -confused the public servant with the party boss. The methods of the Quays and Platts of politics are foreign to his ideas and unknown to his political history. It is this which has earned him the sneers of a certain portion ■ of his party, who contemptuously allude to him as no politician. It is this, how ever, which has also earned him the respect and confidence - of a great majority of those who sup ported him for the presidency and a considerable minority of those politically opposed to him. -It is really this which shows the true breadth and depth of his .political character. To the politician, as the politician is known in New York, Mr. Cleveland is a sphinx.- According to the San Prancisco Chronicle every close observer of life in the West Indies sets it down as well nigh certain that the black race will dominate all otners in the near future, for it increases more rapidly and resists better the ener vating influences of the climate. t; v The rate of increase of temper ature in descending mines and borenoles is one degree Fahren heit for every sixty-five feet If ■ A Safe Investment.

Our commission reduced passen ger rates from five to three cents a mile, and made a large reduction in freight rates. -So far from in juring the roads, the result was in creased business, bigger profits, better dividends, and higher mar ket values for railroad stocks. It has been found that lower lo cal rates stimulate local interests. We have been fortunate in having men of experience and integrity on the commission, and they have stood between the people and the roads, dealing fairly and squarely with both, preventing oppressive charges and discrimination. The building of so many new lines in Georgia is largely due to the fact that the power of the com mission to establish joint rates en courages the building of short lines. For some time past there has been practically no opposition in this state to a railroad commis sion. It has been a success from the start-. - Under its wise and just regulations the roads, the towns and the people have pros pered. Our material progress was never more rapid, and the basis of our prosperity was never more sol id. The Georgia commission deserves all the study that the Texans can give to it. It was modeled by Gen Robert Toombs upon the best Eu ropean systems. It has passed the experimental stage and is now one of our best established and most cherished institutions. Undoubtedly, a bad commission system, or a good one with incom petent men to administer it, would be an injury to the railroads and the people. The-Texans must set tle, the matter for themselves. All that we can say to them is that the Georgia system, judiciously framed and administered by good and competent men, has worked so sat isfactorily that neither the ralroad3 nor the people have any fight to make againsj it. These facts speak volumes, but the additional fact that the com mission costs oar people only 810,- 000 a year should not be forgot ten. It is safe to say that the money could not be better invest ed. We are satisfied with the re turns. A Cincinnati paper asserts that the value of lands in Northwestern Ohio is more than triplicated by the construction of good turnpikes.; It seems an exaggeration to imply that passable roads alone treble the value of the lands, but there is no doubt that good, roads to mar ket in any section wili pay their cost, and even a scalper’s rate- of interest, to the farmers living along them. Intelligent People. When an intelligent; person makes up his. mind to try Smith’s m :• C! TV- Txl-.-, contained an order for some ma chinery needed in a hurry. The travelling man had on a light fall overcoat, and into the pocket of this he put the letter. Catching his train he became absorbed in a paper or with some of the boys, and forgot ell about the letter en trusted to his care. It was Satur day, and the traveller was on his home run. It being mild weather he did not pat his coat on when he reached the city, but carried it on his arm all the way home. The next day it was raw and cold and the Regular fall set in, followed closely by winter, so the drummer did not need his light coat again, and it was hung away at home in a closet to await the coming of spring. This poetic season was that year a trial to every one, for cold weather did not let up until about June 1, when it suddenly came out hot and stayed so all through the summer. Fall again came around, and the travelling man once more' pulled out his light overcoat. His first move n at- urally was to shove his hands down into the pockets, and lo! up came the letter he had put there nearly a year before, unsoiled, un crumpled, but in good mailable condition,, all directed and stamp ed. A sudden impulse seized him, and when down town he dropped the letter in a box. The result of that act was a suit between two big concerns, the amount at issue being about §1,000. The letter was received in due time after mailing, and by some oversight the date was not noticed. The goods were such as the concern ordering might need aUany time, and they were made ready and shipped. The firm to whom they were ship ped naturally “kicked,” and the trouble was not fully explained un til the case got into the courts. How it was settled cuts no figure, but the carelessness of the travel ing man by simply not mailing a letter, made no end of trouble. luxuriously in Washington.

The average member ship of each of these 20S clubs is not far from 300, so that about one adult man in every four in Neiv York is a member of a club. This goes to- show that the average New Yorker is a clubable man. . cheap hotels, and they make one suit of clothes last a year or more. They don’t accept invitations to dinners and they don’t give din ners. They may render their con stituents just as good service as those who live upon a more liberal scale, but they don’t get much pleasure out of life. It costs a congressman a good deal more to live in Washington now Mian it did ten or fifteen years ago, if he sees anything of the so cial life of the city. If he has a family the milliners’ and dress makers’ bills make a big hole in his salary.. The city is filling up with rich men from all parts of the pountry, and they set a pretty rap id pace for social life. Entertain ments follow one another -in qnick succession, and it costs a great deal of money to keep up with them. A congressman, however hard he may try, cannot keep out the range.of their influence if he has grown daughters, or a wife who takes an interest in social matters. The cost of living in Washington is not great—that is the necessa ries of life can be obtained there as cheaply as in any other city— but the luxuries are a heavy drain upon the pocket, and luxuries are what most congressmen think they mast have after they have been fo public life a little while. They want to keep up with those who have plenty of money, particularly if they get into what is called the social “swim,’’.and they are pretty certain to get into that sooner or later. Doubtless congressmen will soon begin to tbiuk of increasing their salaries. Indeed, they are already beginning to think about it. They would vote now to double their salaries if they dared to do so. They are afraid that if they should vote themselves a thousand or two thousand dollars a year more the most of them would stand a very good chance of having their public careers cut short. They are hoping, however, t&at public sentiment will gradually become more liber al with respect to salaries, and that within a very few years it will be so changed that it will be possible to increase their pay without call ing out an indignant protest from the pe.ople.

In addi tion to the Usual appliance for printing in black, that part of the form which is intended to. be printed in another color is set up from types, rules, ornaments or cuts, made of a porous material, such as pumice, Spanish reed, or, best of all, walnut root. The type or cat thus made is inclosed in a holdtr, in which is a thin, oily ink which it absorbs by capillary attraction, thus always presenting an inked surface ready for the im pression. The upper rim of the holder has a rim or metal border, slightly raised above ' the wood type, so that the ink roller passes over the latter ^without any ‘union of inks. One revolution of the cylinder thus effects an impression in two colors. While grading for a site for a new building in Nevada a large; stamp was uprooted.
