It is absurd to claim that there is any necessity for the ruling high prices | cnuaren. of berths. Why should a traveler, who pays his regular fare anyway for being carried certain distance on the train, be taxed besides, for « few hours’ use of a narrow berth, with the privilege of » teacupful of water in the Better goods and better values than ever were Morning to wash the cinders out of his eyes | offered inthis city. ead a dab with a linty towel, more money than is asked for a private room, with a comfortable bed and abundant toilet appurtenances, through a whole night and day at a hotel of fuir pretensions? The answer which the rail- road managers would probably make is that it costs more to run a hotel on the rail than a Stationary one. Doubtless it would cost more, if an ordinary hotel were lifted bodily off its foundations and put upon wheels to be dragged from place to place; but the parallel fails when ‘we cunsider the difference in conditions, Every passenger carried ina sleeping-car ina relief to the burden of acommon car. His passage is paid for at the same rate, whether he rides im the one or the other. All the services ren- dered him in exchange for his extra payment @re the use of acot and a lavatory, When night comes on, the day cars which have been emptied of their passengers are dropped at a Convenient station, aud sicepers taken ouin their Stead. The next morning, the sleepers in their turn are dropped and their places supplied with @ay curs, so that the railroad is not put to the inconvenience or expense of doing double duty for a single fee. The next ples would be, how- ever, that sleepers cost more than ordinary cars to build and keep in repair, and hence must be more expensive to the traveler who avails him- seifof their privileges. That is true, and no traveler grudges the payment of a reasonable extra fare. But the cost of building is extrava- gant, and the traveler is therefure taxed for something which he does not want, All the folderoi of inlaid woods and bevelled glass and other things which are ornamental solely and have no relation to the comfort or safety of the public, could just as well be dispensed with, A neat, well-kept car, with its interior done in cheerful colors, is all that any reasonable per- son demands. The cots could be made much less bulky with good effect. The weight, and therefore the danger, of the car might be greatly reduced by changes obvious to every eye. That sleeping-cara are now inordinately Profitable iy showa by the incomes of the com- panies that run them; and, without depriving any investor of his righteous dues, it would be quite possible to cut down the burdens of the passenger from thirty to Gifty per cent, not only in Georgia, but in most other parts of the Union. Preparations are in progress on the demo- cratic side, for a joint debate between the rival candidates for governor of Massachusetts, This is a form of campaigning deservedly pop- ular in parts of the south and west, and it would be a good thing if it could be adopted ali over the country, The average voter would then know better for whom and for what he is custing his ballot. Rejuvenated Pennsylvania avenue fully sus- tained its reputation yesterday as the model mational parade ground. Its broad smooth surface, the vista effects of the Capitol and ‘Treasury, and the gay decorations of the line of march gave to the street, whose surface has been trodden byso many of the republic's great, the features which attract the marching column. The paraders were worthy of the pa- rade ground. No finer representative body of Americans has ever been collected in the na- tional city. The picture presented by the twenty thousand armed and uniformed knights as they marched to stirring music and per- formed the picturesque evolutions of their drill, exhilarated by the air and sunlight of an almost perfect autumn day, will long be re- membered, Yesterday was given up to enjoyment by the whole city. Today a part of the entertainers go back to work, while the entertained divide their activities between the serious business of the conclave and the scarcely less urgent duty of sight-seeing. In both lines, let us hope that, like worghy knights, every man will do his best. To know thoroughly what the capital of his country is like is as much to be desired by every good American as to inter- est himself in the well-being of his order is the pleasure of every good freemason. ‘There is a deal of irreverent comment float- ing through the columns of the American press on the eccentricity of that New York manufac- turer whose will directs that a two-ton boulder be put om top of his grave. The general opinion seems to be that he does not believe in ‘the doctrine of the resurrection. That does not follow, by any means. The more convinced he is of truth of the doctrine. the more re- pugnance he probably feels at the idea of be- ing resurrected ahead of time through human agencies, In those states where the Australian ballot has been adopted, the voting tickets are paid for and distributed by the public authorities, and the bummers who used to earn a few dol- lars every election day by hanging about the polls and “peddling” find their occupation gone. What hole all this is going to make in the orthodox balance sheet of candidates who regularly counted on setting down a certain Bum to “legitimate expenses” unclassified! eo Europe is making herself extremely gloomy through disinterested apprehensions that the Pan-American congress will be a dismal failure. Uncle 8am does not expect or attempt much in this preliminary round, but he will probably get what he secks, and his advantage in this matter is that of all the American nations. So eheer up, croaking Grandma Europe. a There is one newspaper published in the United States which is probaoly never quoted, ‘hose editor is not hunted down by angry poli- tictans and indignant sufferers from libellous Sttack, and which cam crack old jokes to its beart’s content without the danger of having “chestnuts!” shouted in its ear. It is the Seurhantag, the organ of the Armenians in America, and is printed in their native lan- Baage. o_o Sir Julian Pauncefote is on his way back to Washington with those daughters of whom so much has been said. If they are all that the letter-writers have described them to be, Sir Julian is weleome to all the codfish and seals be wants as far as young America is concerned, Who cares for such trifles as these, in compari- Sou with the duty of keeping on terms of the closest cordiality with our dear mother coun- try —— cee When 2 politician has “bitten off more than he can chew,” does that afford him a legitimate excuse for “bolting”? wa i+] $3 Y ain cea os eervtens ee i pnenitin die Siempiniciinn: met lene Pa AVR STYLISH, RELIABLE, INEXPENSIVE, ONE PRICE TO ALL. ‘These will be the characteristics of our business.

That my efforts have been spprecisted is evident in the rapid growth of my business, For months past Ihave been doing the largest Retail Drag Businessin thecity, But what Iwish tomy today is in reference to PRESCRIPTIONS. ‘You cannot tell whether you are getting your prescription compounded at fair prices or not, soare, toacertain extent, gt the mercy of the @ruggist. Will not the man who charges you three or four prices for an article whose value Youare familiar with be apt to charge you much more in proportion for the prescription that you know nothing about? Iclaim to be the only Druggist in this city who has a SEPA- RATE ROOM and separate experienced clerks for Prescription work, and I GUARANTEE to compound any Prescription at from fifteen to forty per cent lower than any druggist in Wash- ington.
