Of the notable men who composed Lincoln's first cabinet Judge ously considering the matter of constructing a fifth line of railway to the Rocky 'Mountains, which is to be a new departure in its way. It is not designed to make fast time, nor to be an air line, but is intended to strike tho fancy of those who go for an outing and would like to see the country us they pass through, or who have business a short distance from home and want to go as cheaply and as comfortably as possible.

In a nutshell, it is projuised to adopt the street railway system to a more extended field. The road will be built in a substantial manner, after the fashion of the To)icka Belt railway, and ears and motors similar to those on the Belt line will be used, while the rates will be figured up on a basis of less than 1 cent per mile. Tho public will be given to understand that they can ride, and ride cheap, but that they are not to exjiect the earth when they buy their tickets. On this line a family can charter a car and go to the mountains in the summer, having their car side tracked at any jioint along the route where they may wish to visit friends. They can do their own cooking on board and, in short, travel leisurely and pleasantly.

When there is anything to be seen along the route the train can stop until the curiosity of the passeng. rs is satisfied, for it is not running to make time, but to please its patrons. The chances are that if this scheme is carried out it will worry some of the old trans-continental lines considerably, for tho low rates promised to be charged, as well ns the novelty of the plan ill attract tourists generally from the very outset. It will be next to traveling by oue's own Lmtea states being the hnal arbiter. Checkmated by the banta Fe.

The Btreet car strike in St. Paul has reached the legislature and was acted on by that body, the City Railway company being knocked out in the first round. This is tho fourth day of the strike, and no attempt having been made to start cars or otherwise to accommodate the public, the legislature probably acted more promptly than it would otherwise have done. The matter came up in the shape of a bill by Sir. Willich, which repeals a previous act validating an old city ordinance giving the St.

Paul City Railway company the exclusive privileges of the streets of the city, and tho bill was passed by a vote of Wi to 111.

One said: "Yes, sir, I think there is a scheme to capture the lower peninsula, and if it is well organized, and has the jowerful backing its memliers claim for it, they will make considerable trouble for Mexico.

I was asked to join and was offered suitable rank and pay. Of course I would have nothing to do with such a scheme, and did not want to know too much about it."
