Never before in the history of tlio slate
as there been such u dearth of cars on
10 dillcrcnt lines nt road with \vliicli to
nn.sporl the cereals of thu west to the
aria of the east us at thu present time.
A prominent ( 'ruin mini , who Is inter
ested in elevators nil along tlio linn of Iho
llurllngton in Nebraska , makes the
nbovo statement , nnd in company with
other prominent shippers voices the fact
with statements thai in themselves bear
tlio weight of truth. I'ivo hundred mile *
of now road built in the stale tlio past
Fummer requires much additional rolling
Block , and the slock has not M yd been
accelerated to meet Iho demands of the
now work. Them is not an elevator
nlong the line of the road Ihat is not
crowded lo overflowing , and the cry
goes out for cars and noun come back in
rcHpotiso. Along the line of thu Atoliit-on
nnd Nebraska branch cribs have brcn
boarded up to make temporary room lor
rorn , mid men who iisic for lifty ears in
which to .slil ] ) ara answered witli at best
but ono or two at a station. Ono grain
man ascribes the hcarcltv of cars
lo Iho fact that much grain ,
especially barley , that is dliipix'd
in cars to Chicago is never unloaded ,
but boughl by sample and continued in
b'hJjiment to all points in the cast , mak-
in ' long and tedious journeys before
their return to the parent road. Again
j. the U. & I\I. \ is sending train load after
train load of supplies for now hues con
stantly to tlio front , and they lay for days
without unloading nl the sidings along the
way. Ono grain iirm states that they
would load COO cars a day if they could
Rot thorn , but they got nothing.
On IhoMissouti 1'aclfio this same scare-
llv of cars is reportcdjand every station
along that line is tilled with grain await
ing shipment. The trouble that causes
scarcity of cars on that line is recited to
bo the fact that the great bulk of Ne
braska corn shiupcd over the Missouri
Pacific goes to Tiwris and points in that
mate , making a long journey before a
car returns. Again , whuro the corn is
shipped to points in TOTIIS , they have no
elevators , anil the long , tedious process
of unloading from the cars as told makes
of every car an elevator for u period on
a Texan siding. The complaints for cars
nro now deep , ami soon Ihoy will bo loud
nnd sonorom , so much so that it would
pay Iho companies to make extra oflbrt
to solve the problem.
A MONTH MKKTIN03. .
Januarv is a month of meetings at Iho

Senator Van "Wyck.
The New \'orkWord oi December 20
says :
Tlie Philadelphia Pi cssihlnks "the republi
can party rnulu iiiniiai ; to survive tla > defeat
of Senator Van \Vyok. \ " No doubt the bosses
of that party would bo clad lo son liim de
feated. They have no use lor anti-monopo
lists and the Urn feailess opponents Kr.xsplnff
corporations ) and plutocratic rings.
The same thing can bo doubtless said
of certain members of the democratic
party. The corporations understand just
how to weave together the opponents to
Senator Van Wyok , both democrats anil
republicans , and unless there is
patrioism enough in both the
democratic and republican mem
bers of the Nebraska legislature to
forsake party lines in this instance and
oppose a solid wall of patriotism to the
inlluenco and boodle of the corporations ,
thcro is grave danger lliat Senator Van
\Vycl ; will be defeated. If he is , the people
ple of this country will understand very
we'l ' that it was because Senator Van
Wyck has manfully championed public
rights in the United States senate , and
consequently ho was struct : down , just
as Senator Thurman was struck down in
Ohio for insisting that the Pacific rail
roads should observe their duties to the
public. _ _

PRAGUE AND ITS ENVIRONS.

licit I Jeer Made la Kuropo.
Prague , the capital of Bohemia , la losa
known lo Americans , writes Albert But-
liffo in the San Francisco Chronicle , than
any European city of the same im
portance. Of Uohcmla all Americans
have hoard. 'IIicy all know Bohemian
glass , at least by its Imitations , and most
have hoard or have drank beer of Pislen
or Uiuhvots , or beverages that bore the
name of thcso cities. As Protestants
they have had occasion lo know of John
Huss , Jerome of Prague , Ocorgo do
Podicbrad at < d Zlskn , names associated
with the most troubled times of religious
history , and as citizens they arc aware
of the I'ohemian colonies that nro lo bo
found in nearly all the largo American
cities. Ilohcmiaii immigrants usually
make good citizens , Somq of those in
Chicago have boon an exception to the rule
nut those in San Francisco are nulct , in
dustrious and law-abiding. The Ho-
bemiaiid are skillful at their ordinary
trades. Tlioy are good mechanics and
good musicians. In the latter capacity
they are doing good work in all the best
orchestras of the United States , lint of
the country whence thnso people come
the averaco American knows almost as
lilllo : is of the unexplored regions of
Africa.
Tin : vion.n. :
The Hohcmians belong to Iho great
Slav raee , and nro therefore closely alien
lo the llussians , witli whom they sympathize -
thizo moro deeply than any oilier branch
of the same people now living in Austria ,
In proof of tills it may bo said that some
of the journals of Prague have persist
ently supported the policy of Russia in
reference to Bulgaria. It is not known
exactly when the Bohemians panic into
Europe , but It was probably before thu
communccmont of the Christian era.
They are best known in history as a
bravo and independent people , governed
by hereditary kings or electing thnm
when Ihoy saw lit. The position of the
country is somewhat isolated. It lies in
a sort ot basin formed by the upper Elbe
and its tributary , the Moldau , and is sur
rounded on all sides bymountain ranges.
Moravia , usually considered a part of it.
lies further up the Elbe , and is equally
separated from the valley of the lanube
by a loffy watershed. To the cast is llus-
Bian Poland. Being so placed in reference
to other nations , the mninten-
nii3o of Iho independence of the
county * for some hundred years , when
the means of communication was far
different from what they are at present ,
was not dillicult. The lirst troubles of
Bohemia came from tlio Catholic church
ami from the Hapslmrgs , who , having
lirst been elected kings , ended by sup
pressing the parliament and declaring
the crown hereditary in the house of Aus *
tria. It is one of the crimes of the Haps-
burgs on which English writers Mr.
Gladstone among others have loved to
descant. But this does not prevent Eng
land's coming to Austria with its hat in
its hand anil bcgainjr for an alliance
against its old enemy , lUissia. It is not ,
perhaps , so much an alliance that Eng
land seeks as it is tlic embroilment of the
two empires , in which case she would
withdraw to ono side and allow the com
batants to fight it out among themselves.
Thus Russia would bo a little longer de
layed in its inevitable progress toward
the Indian ocean.
A lUSTOKIOALSICnTCH.
Bohemia was one of the first countries
in Europe that embraced the reformed
doctrines. This ended in the mcrtyrdom
of Huss and the desolation of the country
by domestic feud and foreign invasion.
Tins was done before the thirty years'
war. which began with the over act of
Prague , namely , the throwing of the im
perial commissioners from the windows
of the palace by the Count of Taunn. War
followed at once , and what that war waste
to Germany a war made for the pleas
ure of the llapsburgs every ono knows
who has read nt all the history of the
period. The Protestant forces , com
manded by Maurice , elector of Saxony ,
were defeated at the battle of Wluto
mountain , which loft Bohemia nt the
mercy of Ferdinand II , Empernr of
Austria. lie summarily ejected all Iho
preachers , schoolmasters , professors , and
gave up all the churches to monks im
ported from all parts of Europe.
All who wore not Catho
lics wcro forbidden to exer
cise anv trade or handicraft
whatsoever. The severest penalties wore
imposed on all who retained the. Protest
ant term of worship. The siclr were
driven from the hospitals. Protestant
burghers wcro expelled. The poor were
compelled to become Catholics on
masse. The remotest villages were vis
ited by missionaries and compelled by
loreo to embrace Catholicism. Those
who refused were tortured , racked and
mutilated. Women and children were
outraged by a brutal soldiery , Many
were divcn to tlio mountains , where they
perished , and HO.OOO of the best cltl/.eus
of the country emigrated , as did the Hu
guenots of Franco after the revocation of
the cdiet of Nantes. It has been said that
the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the
church. This rule , it it can bo called a
rule , scorns to have failed in this in
stance. Protestantism was thoroughly
extirpated , and the number of Protestant
churches now to bo found in Bohemia can
almost bo counted on the fingers ol the
two hands.
AVOHK OP VANDALS.
It would have boon well if the persecu
tion of the llapsburgs had paused hero.
But it did not. At different times during
the periods of religions disturbance at
tacks were made on the literature nnd
language of the people , It was forbid
den to USD the Bohemian language olli-
daily , and books in Iho native tongue
wore everywhere searched for and so
thoroughly destroyed that ono could
Afterwards scarcely be found in thowholo
country , Ihont'li tlm literature had
already reached a considerable degree of
development. It is acts like these that
have made the name ot Hapsburg syn
onymous with tyranny and caused the
deterioration of a people at once honest ,
ingenious and valiant. The lan
guage has been of late years generally
cultivated though thu government has
not boon friendly. Education is becom
ing moro general , nowi-impors are in
creasing in number nnd ability , nnd the
literature , through the agency of learned
writers , id beginning again to make
itself respected. But though thu Bohe
mians no\y number several millions , nnd
nro one of the important factors of Iho
Austrian nationality , they are not con-
tented. They consider themselves over
run commercially by the Germans , of
whom them are forty or lifty thousand
among the quaiter of a million inlinhi.
tantH of Prague. They have historical
reasons for disliking thu Hungarians ;
they do not therefore like thu name Au
stria-Hungary , nor are they pleased to
ace the Hungarians direct the foreign
policy of the country. They like the
Russians. Thn Hungarians hate the
Russians , yet if them were a war with
Russia , Austria would expect the Bohe
mian eontingont of the imperial army o
light its battles against its next of kin.
A KINK CITV ,
Prague is an honorable representative
of Ihu Bohemian nation. It is superbly
situated on both sides of the Moldau in
an amphitheater oi hills' ' , with a splendid
View up and down the river. Tuo two
parrs of the oily arc connected by several
line bridgetwo of whidh nro suspension.
Thorois a jknrked diu'urenco between n
bridge in Kuropo and a bridge In Ameri
ca. A bridge r.eross an American river
is a light and airy fitrucluro , striking on
account of its length nnd design and usu
ally stronger than it seems , A bridge in
Europe , even across a stream of motlor-
nto width , is absolutely monumental , It
is of solid slono , as massive as the pyra
mids , and when it is onoo in place is ex
pected to cnduro forever. Those of
stone at I'raguo are honorable
specimens of the enduring style of
bridge architecture. The suspen
sion bridges , like these elsewhere ,
in Kuropo , have long iron limba instead
of the wire cables used In America , which
iinistgroatly increase their weight and
rcqulro tv corresponding increase of
strength in the piers. Quo of thcso
bridges ( Carlsbrucho ) was built COO yours
nco , but underwent some changes dur
ing the subsequent 200 years , lint the
most recent improvements are of am
ple antiquity. It is llanked by tall lowers
that once served for the defense of the
city. It has sixteen arches and Iho piles
are ornamented by thirty slalues and
groups of saints , conspicuous among
which is St. John Nopomuceuo , to who > o
memory it is held sacred. Every year it
is the rosorl of thousands of devout Ho-
lionuans , who gather on the bridge and
bring garlands , caudles and other oiler-
ings. A less solid strueluro would go
down into the swift river below witli tlio
weight of the worshippers.
A ItntOlO CttAltAOTr.U.
Nepomueono is the patron of Iho Bohe
mians. The story of Ins martyrdom
varies somewhat from the monstrous relation -
lation of these who wcro crucified head
downward , beheaded , shot witli arrows ,
thrown to wild beasts , or put to doalh
by any oilier of Iho cheerful processes
that tlio late heathen applied to the early
Ouristlaiis. The wife of the emperor
\Yoiiee.slii3 had done something very
wicked which she revealed to Nepomu-
ceno in the conlossional. The omjieror
asked him what it was , but he said ho
had promised not to toll , and resolutely
refused to answer. So ho was thrown
from the bridge into the river at n point
which is .still indicated , and as the fit ream
happens there to bo n litllo deeper than
elsewhere , ho was drowned. In duo time
his body came lo Iho biirfaco , and live
stars formed an aureola about his head.
In his slalues and pictures tliesc five
stars are relented till Ihoy heroine tiro-
some. Lights burn constantly before
his image. Pilgrims como from Moravia ,
and even from Hungary , to nay their
honors to the saint who refused to reveal
tlm secrets of the confessional to the
man who know , but had promised not to
toll.
riCTHHKSQUK SOr.NKS.
Tlic commercial part of the city , with
the. railroad station-houses , the theatres ,
the princinlo churches , and palaces , old
ami now , is built on the comparatively
level ground on the left bank. Leaving
thin behind you and crossing the bridge
sacred to tbo saint , you have before you a
highly picturesque spectacle. This is the
llrad.schtn , which is spoken of in the
cuido books as the cauitol of Praguo. It
is the imperial quarter , situated on the
side and summit of a lofty hill. The hill .
is crowned by tlio university.un immense
pile of stone , the imperial puluco and then
palace of Prme.o bchwart/.onburg ando
the cathedralwith some other structures , "
which present a. magniticent archi-0
tectural outline as seen against tlio sky. o
In the cathedral is the splendid monn-iu
mont of the martyr to silence. To tho. .
left unit crowning the highest point of Ihc , }
range the rich monastery of Strakow
i isos from among lields and groves. IW
can bu visited at certain times by the
sterner sex. Women are never allowed-
lo cross Iho Ihreshold. f-
oiur.crs or ixrr.ur.sT. r'
In going hither from llio llradschiu-
you pass a huge old mililary barracKS"fi
and the chapel of Our Lady of Loretta , nl
fao simile of that at Rome. Its treasuryi-
is ono of tlio richest , if not actually the
most precious in Europe. Among the )
magnilicunt objects lo bo seen are sweral
oslensoirs , that portion of Catholic furni
ture used in elevating the host , or.o ot
which is sot with ( i,5SO , diamonds of won
derful s'ms and brilliancy. The largest
are at the focus and they dimmish in si/.o
toward the end of the ray.s. Its value
can only bo represented by millions of
dollars. The Strakow monastery owns a
vast estate that lies about it. It is a com
mon thing in Austria. A great part of
Vienna and its environs is in the hands
of different monastic orders , whose
wealth and luxury arn unprecedented in
Europe. Treasures like those of Our
Lady of Lorottu arc found in most of the
convents and in many of the churches in
Germany and Austria , composed of gifts
of the faitlilul lo shrines of superior
sanctity. Still farther to the left mm
covering all the hillside up lo the
long wall that surrounds the monastery
grounds is a park through which you
climb by winding paths , stopping occa
sionally to sit on rustic seals and enjoy
the view of the river , the city and Iho
country and brown hills beyond it.

But the climb up the street from the
bridge to Iho palaeo is something lo be
romemlicred. If Iho weather is warm it
is torturo. There is no street railroad ,
ami vehicles are rare on this side of the
Moldau. The distance from the river
bank is probably a mile. At certain
stages of the thermometer it is at least
live. Never were streets stonier. They
are incomparably more pcnitcnlial llian
Ihoso ot Komi ) . The whole of this quar
ter seems sis if it wore excavated from
solid rock , so continuous are the pave
ments , Iho walls of houses , churches ami
palaces and the public places. They all
so meet and merge in ono another that
they seem practically to bo curved from
tho' sumo "block. Moro or less of this
oppressive idea of stone is perceptible
in all European cilies , hut no whuro so
forcibly as at Prague. Then the stones
have moro than an adamantine
hardnc.SH. The Count of Thurn cast the
imperial commissioners from the hall of
the landtag in Ihu palaeo. One fourth
Iho distance was sutlieient to have clashed
out their brains , considering the extra
hardness of the I'raguo pavements. And
they have u corresponding roughness ,
The pedestrian is therefore doubly tor
tured , and thu pleasure which ho would
otherwise experience , thu eminenceonco
sealed , is seriously marred' . The cathe
dral is remarkable rather for its anil-
qidty and the niiaintiioss'-of its old monuments
ments and pictures , than for its urustio
merits Hero sleep the kings of Uohe-
mia , and on their mansoluft may bu neon

A goncial view of Prague gives an im
pression decidedly oriental. Some of Us
church lowers seem like the minarets of
a mosque. Others have a Byzaniiuo
look , in no other city of 'Europe ' are mas
sive buildings large enough to bo called
palaces moro numerous , One of the old
palaces near thu station whom you ar
rive in coming from Urusden has been
transformed into it powder mugir/.lnu ,
The old palaca of the king of Bohemia
close by ib now a barrack. In thu old
portions of the city , on tlio right bunk ,
there is still some of thu strong aspect of
tlio Jianlccliin.lnit commerce is gradually
softening it New strecls are uemg made
that uro filled with liandsomo shops.
Broader thoroughfares arn being set with
trues , and there are some well-kept parks
and public gardens. Thu publio
buildings , aside fiom the palaccR , uro
not remarkable for beauty , though
there arn exceptions. The city hull ,
which in the Gorman speaking countries
of Kuropo in called the rathouso ( rat-
liaus ) is curious architecturally and re
markable for Its astronomical clock ,
which excites the attention of every
tourist. It is a full cirriculum in the
Mndy of the service of astronomy. Near
by is a church which contains the tomb
of Tycho Brahc , the Danish Astronomer ,
who oamo hero at the invitation ot the
Lmporor Rudolph II. Prague , like
other European capitals , has its academv
of fine arts , nnd is well provided with
chnritaulo institutions. Its public monuments
ments in the wny of fountains and
statues , though not as numerous nrc in
sulllciunt number to shame the povertv
in works of art in the metropolises of
America.
UXEQWAtXn TIKKR.
It is gratifying to bo nblo lo remark
that nt Prague you can have the best
cplfep and beer in Europe , the boor of
Munich and Iho coffee of Vienna not ex-
copied. The innkeepers pride themselves
on their beds. When you make your ap
pearance in the morning the hotel person
in authority instead of the usual formula
"Have you slept wcllt" asks you "How
did you like your bed ? " There Isn world
of significance in his question if ho knows
you have como from Berlin or Dresden.
You certainly do IImi the beds boiler in
Austria Ihan In Germany and in Bavaria
than in the north , not only at tlm first-
class hotels but at the hotels of the second
grade , ami in furnished rooms. As to
the Prague colfeo , it is not only of the
real berry properly prepared and
freshly made , but strong nnd
served with real cream , either
in American fashion or whipped as in
Vienna. Thn beers are not made in
Prague , but iu places not far distant , and
there are some delicate blonde kinds ,
such as refresh and do not inebriate ,
such as have no traces of headache whinb
you never see in America. After the torture -
turo of Iho streets the beer and the colfeo
are a real bunison. In the eestacy that
follows the heat and weariness you in o
nuito reconciled to the thought that
Prague does not abound In museums and
picture galleries , anil Unit the Van Bykcs ,
Holboins and Rubcnses that some overcurious -
curious people go to see In some of the
palaces are by no means tlio best speci
mens if ) the work of these great artists.
There is no great loss without some small
gain.
