RAILROAD COUR'IESY.
The announcement that the Union
PaciGc is going to establish a school in
which it will teach iU employes the art
of courtesy to the traveling public is of
interest as showing the growing belief
among modern railroad men that it is
to their interest to have the good will
of the public
The day of the public-be damned
railroad mau is over. Il is a fact that
.some of the old timers find it diflicult
to realize, but it is a fact, nevertheless.
The public refuses to be damned these
days. It has come to recognize that
it has certain rights which even cor
porations, and among them railroads,
must recognize. And as the years roll
by it becomes more insistaut that those
rights shall be observed. Au editor
ial writer in one of the railroad publi
cations a short time aro said it was his
belief that most of the feeling of the
public against railroads was due to the
treatment received at the hands of
railroad employes with whom it came
iu contact, and that if these men were
taught good manners, polite attention
and all that, much of this felling would
disappear. Perhaps it is this belief
that actuates railroad officials in de
manding nowadays that their employes
shall be courteous in the treatment of
patrons. Buiialo Express.
GREATER IRELAND.
A liner just arrived from (Queens
town includes in its freight several
boxes of Irish soil, which has been
brought over by Irishmen to be placed
where President Taft will stand when
he lays a corner stoue at Chicago on
St. Patrick's Day. Accompanying
the soil were other boxes filled with
shamrocks. The Irish are a people of
sentiment ami glory in the fact. As
Americans they retain the trait and
are appreciated for their warm hearts
as well as manly courage, energy and
ability. A Greater Ireland has
sprung up in this country through im
migration.. 1 1 is in the United States
that the Irish strain of blood has had
a fair field for the first time, and its
America history can be traced iu the
biography of distinguished statesmen,
soldiers and captains of industry. A
reader of Grant's memoirs will notice
that his right hand in bringing about
the end at Appomattox was the sou of
Irish pareuts. When, in the early
spring of l.S(5fi, Grant had a personal
interview with Sheridan, and the lat
ter agreed positively that the end
could be forced at once, the command
er in chief gave his orders for a final
effort. The general sprung from poor
Irish emigrants accomplished for his
part all and more than he had promis
ed. Whatever Ireland may get in the
shape of home rule the Greater Ire
land must always remain on this side
of the Atlantic. Beautiful as is the
Green Isle, and filled with inspring
traditions, it is a small bit of land com
pared with the continent in which
transplanted Irishmen and Irishwom
en have reached their best material
conditions and find their best broad
opportunities. When Thackeray
wrote his sketches of Irish travel in
1842 the famine in the island was near
at hand, but sharp as were his literary
perceptions he failed to see the omin
ous signs or to realize the catastrophe
that a single bad harvest could bring
about He was a student of character,
not of economics, and yet he was get
ting close to the material affairs of the
people. Probably no Englishman has
ever understood the Irish, nor has
England ever been able to assimilate
the race giving it scope to make the
best of itself. The United States has
afforded the chance, and it has been
well improved. Irish-Americans have
their full share of what goes on in
America, and even if the population of
Ireland continues to decline the race
is marching on elsewhere. St. Louis
Globe Democrat.
THE GOLDEN TALENT THAT
FRIGHT BURIED.
Copyright, 1910, by E. J. Edwards.
Up to the time of his death in 1902,
Frederic D. Tappan had been for half
a century one of the leading bankers
of New York City, and for years he
was the head of the metropolitan
clearing house.
"I think," he said to me one day
"that one of the most curious expe
riences that ever came within my per
sonal knowledge was the silent, almost
pathetic, evidence of the great fright
which once held in its grip Wilson G.
Hunt, who was famous as a banker
when Commodore Vandcrbilt and
Daniel Drew were strong men in the
financial destinies of the country.
"It was the so called Bland silver
bill, which was passed in 1878, and
which provided for the coiuage of not
less than 82,000,000 nor more than
S4.000.000 worth of silver bullion a
mouth, that gave Mr. Wilson his great
scare. But that you may haye a good
understanding o? the incident, I want
to say first that, besides Mr. Wilson,
there were a good many old fashioned
bankers and men living upon their
capital, or the income of it, who lie
came greatly disturbed when the
Bland bill became a law.
"Why, do you know that even as
shrewd, clear headed and icy an intel
lect as Samuel J. Tilden became
greatly alarmed when the Bland bill
was enacted into law. Gov. Tilden
whispered to some of his friends his
fear that the country was going exclu
sively upon the silver basis. He
thought that meant the cutting down
of capital by at least oue-half, and you
should have seen his representatives
buying foreign exchange, and a good
deal of it. His purpose, evidently,
was to convert that exchange into
gold, and very likely keep it on deposit
iu some of the greater hanks of Lon
don. But I guess that Gov. Tilden
ot over this scare earlier than Mr.
Hunt did, at all events I never learn
ed what he did with the exchange he
bought.
"But it came within my jiersonal
observation what Mr. Hunt did.
Whether he bought exchange and con
verted it into gold or not, I do not
know, yet I do know that when he
trembled for fear that the country
would go to a silver basis, as a result
of the enactment of the Bland bill, he
somehow secured approximately !MM),
000 iu gold, huil it packed iu little
canvas bags, properly marked with the
amount of money in each, ami stored
these bags in the vault of a certain
bank, one of the strongest institutions
of the kind in New York City. If the
worst came, and the rest of his fortune
was cut in half by the country going
to a silver basis, he would at leat
have close on to a million dollars iu
the sort of money that is good the
world over.
Mr. Hunt died about ten years
later, and some lime before the Bland
law gave way to the Sherman silver
law. In the meantime, the gold that
he had hoarded against the possible
evil day of a silver basis lay uutouched.
It did not bring him in a penny of
income, and he never looked into the
vault where it was stored to see if it
was all right. Indeed, these little
bags lay so long iu the place where
first they were put that gradually they
became moldy and the canvas liegan
to rot, and at last, when it became
necessary for the administrators of
Mr. Hunt's estate to remove that
gigantic nest egg, do you know that
some of the bags were so badly rolled
that their golden contents broke mil
and scattered upon the floor of the
vault at our feel?
"Mr. Hunt," concluded Mr. Tappan,
"was a wise man and very courageous
iu many things, but he had that curi
ous dread of silver and that unwar
ranted fear that the United Slates
would lapse to a silver bajs. That
dread and thai fear he carried to the
grave with him. It has been my
experience that the most courageous
capitalists and I have known many
of them will sometimes lose their
senses aud be persuaded to do very
foolish, almost silly, things in order to
protect their fortunes. Without ex
ception, every rich man that I have
known has had some weak point in his
armor iu this respect" E. J. Edwards.
THE PROHIBITION ROW.
You can't get away from the pro
hibition row. One is going on now iu
Texarkana, and the Courier prints the
following from an address delivered by
Henry Watterson at the Lexington
fair. We print the seech liecause
"Marse Henry" is a noted man, ami
loved in the South, aud says giod
things: "I protest against the religion
which sands the sugar aud waters the
milk before it goes to its prayers, I
protest against that morality which
poses as a saint in public to do as it
pleases in private. As the old woman
said of the old man's swearing. 'If
there's anything I do hybominate it is
hypocrisy.' In my opinion that which
threatens Kentucky are not the gen
tlemanly vices of the race course and
the sideboard, but perfidy and phari
seeism in public aud in private life.
The men who made the Bluegrass
famous, who put the brand of glory up
on its women and horses and its vin
tage, were not ashamed to take a drink
or lay a wager; though they paid their
losses and understood where to draw
the line. They marked the distinction
between moderation and intemperance.
They did not need to be told what hon
or is. They believed, as I believe,
that there is such a thing as pretend
ing to more virtue than honest mortals
can hope to attain. I know very well
how I shall be rated for saying this;
how my words will be misrepresented
and misquoted and misconstrued; I
told you not to ask me to come here;
but being here, I am bound to speak
as I am given the mind to think and
the light to see, and to warn our peo
ple against the intrusion of certain
'isms,' which describe themselves as
'Progress,' and muster under the stand
ards of what they call 'God and went
by a very different name; 'Morality'
but which fifty years ago, 'isms' which
take their spirit from Cotton Mather,
not from Jesus Christ; 'isniB' which,
wheie they cannot rule, would burn at
the stake; 'isms' which embrace the
sum of all fanaticisms and intolerance,
proposing that, instead of the rich, red
blood of Virginia, icewater shall flow
through the veins of the people; 'isms'
which, in one word would blot Ken
tucky out of the galaxy of the stars
and recreate her in the dread image of
Maine and Kansas. I refuse to yield
to these. Holding the Ministry in
reverence as spiritual advisers, reject
ing them as emissaries of temporal
power, Id) not intend, if I can help it,
to be compelled to accept a rule of
modern clericalism, which if it could
have its bent aud sway, would revive
for us the priesthidden systems of the
Middle Ages. I do not care to live in
a world, that is to good to be genial;
too ascetic to be honest; too prescrip
tive to be happy. I do not believe
that men can be legislated into au
gel?, even rednosed angels. The
'blue laws' of New England dead
letters for the most part did more
harm to the people, whilst they lasted,
than all the other agencies united. I
would leave them iu the cold storage,
to which the execration oi some of the
neglect of all consigned them long ago,
not embalm aud import them to Ken
tueky to Mison the meat and drink aud
character of the people. I shall leave
my home life, my professional career,
aud my familiar associates to say
whether 1 do not place ami have not
always placed the integrity of man,
aud purity of woman and the Sanctity
of Religion above all earthy things;
bul I hope never to grow too old to
make merry with my friends and for
get for a while that I am no longer one
and twenty." Atchison Globe.
ANOTHER VIEWPOINT.
A Lincoln man got a new viewjMiint
the other day while talking with a
farmer up in north Nebraska who is
rated as being well-to do. "1 bought
this laud," said the farmer, "for an
average of about $!"" an acre. It is
now worth, if I am to take what my
neighbors have sold their holdings for
an average of S75. That is to say, it
is worth five times what I paid for it.
I have a section of it, and that section
is supposed to be valued at $50,000. I
could get that amount of money for it
if 1 would sell it, but I don't waut to
sell it. I want to live here the rest of
my days and to bring up my children
and make homes for them on the laud.
It isn't worth $50,000 to me; that is,
the returns on it are uot as much as
$50,000 invented in a good paying
business would be. I have to pay three
times as much taxes as I did a few
years ago, aud my wife and the girls,
figuring that I am worth $50,000 lie
cause my land is valued at that, want
to raise their standard of living to that
basis of my supposed wealth. I get
good prices for what I sell, but I pay
whooping big prices for what I buy,
and when the women of the family
take to dressing on the $50,000 family
fortune basis it costs some. I get
about $10 a hundred for the hogs I
sell. I have put iu a number of mon
ths taking care of them, paying for
their feed and housing them. The
packer has them in his slaughter house
for about half an hour and sells them
for approximately twice what he paid
me for them. Yes, I'm supposed to be
worth $50,000, but I am not uuless I
sell, and I don't want to sell. So the
question with me is, where am I any
ahead, really and trully ahead, as
matters now stand?" Lincoln News.

"Oh. im." declared the younger one.

any other places of amusement unless

A HERO OF THE LONG AGO.
Thirty-five years ago on May 16
next a man whose sense of danger and
love of his fellow man were well de
veloped achieved immortal fame in 4
western Pennsylvania. His name was
Daniel Collins Graves. For some
thing like a year his name was on every
tongue in the country. He was the
subject of pulpit and platform orators.
John Boyle O'Reilly, of the Boston
Pilot, immortalized him in stirring
verse, which included these stauzas:
No bona; of a soldier riding down ,
To the raging fight from Winchester town;
No ong of a time th-it shook the earth
With the Batioru' throe at a nation birth:
Hut the song of a brave man, free from fear
Ah Sheridan self or l'aul ltevere;
Who risked what they riskwl.free from strife.
Ami its promise of glorioiw pay hi life!
When heroes are called for, bring tliecmw n
To this Yonkre rider; send him down
On the Btretiin of tim with the 'urtiu old;
Hi deed aa the KomanV was brat and bold.
Ami the tale can aa noble n thrill n"nki
For he offered hi life for the Moplea ak.
And then the country seemed to
forget, but Graves remained the hero
uf his section and his death at the age
of 70 in his old home village of Wil
liamsburg brings him once more iuto
the public eye. Mill river, the most
eastern branch of the West field, had
been dammed three miles above Wil
liamsburg, thus securing au additional
head of twenty-four feet for power
purposes. Above a long, narrow val
ley, thickly dotted with villages, hung
a liody of 1,000,000,000 gallons of
water.
Collins Graves had lieen on au early
morning errand on the morning of
May 10, 1874. As he drove into his
yard a neighbor hurried past shouting:
"The dam is giving way!" Instantly
Graves knew what this would mean.
He tore the harness from his horses
sprang to its bareback and dashed
down the valley on the run shouting
the alarm and telling the inhabitants
to take to the high ground. Fifteen
hundred Jives were at stake and
Graves' horse was uot of the racing
type aud ill fitted with wind and limbs
to make time against a roariug catar
act with a fall of 100 feet to the mile,
but he served for all but 250. A large
part of Williamsburg with a button
factory, woolen mill, saw and grist
mill were carried away. A silk mill
at Skinnerville and fifteen houses were
swept aloug. At Haydenville the
brass works aud several dwellings, the
entire village of Leeds was destroyed
aud considerable damage was done at
Florence and Northampton. The
financial loss was $1,500,000. The
Mill river disaster was a notable event
iu history uutil the more appalling
flood occurred at Johnstown, Pa.
Daniel Collins Graves deserves a inou
umeut lo iieriietuate the memory of his
famous ride. Detroit News.

her at first sight aud then lost sight of
her altogether. Now, after waiting for
twenty years, he is rewarded by lead
ing her to the altar as his bride. Just
think of it. waiting twenty years for
a wife!"
"What of it':" asked the genial phi
losopher. "There's nothing extraor
dinary about that I've waited thirty
live years for mine."
"You? Waited thirty-five years?
Why, 1 thought you'd been married
that long!" said little Binks.
"I have." said the genial philosopher.
"That's how I kuow how long I've
waited. I've waited for her to get her
gloves on about three j-ears. I've wait
ed for her to change her hat about four
years. I've waited while she said just
one last wonl to the cook for at least
five years. I've waited upstairs. I've
