On our arrival at Washington the following trains were consolidated: Atlantic Coast Line n No. 82, Southern No. 38, Southern " J No. 42, Seaboard Air Line No. 2, and there may have been several oth" I er connections put on this train. ~ j "Now, all of the above trains ar | rive in Washington with anywherf I from four to six Pullman sleeping j cars, as a rule loaded to capacity, anc I of the total number of passengers cai ried, I should say at least 80 pei cent, continue their journey out oi J Washington through to Easterr points, and according to the presen practice 30 per cent, of these pas sengers are deposited on the plat - forms of the station in Washingtor 2 J and they have to chase around an< 1 ocate themselves in new quarters which is made difficult by the accom modations in the remaining cars tha go through being crowded befor< they reach Washington, and as lonj as the Pennsylvania Railroad make: no provision to accommodate thi overload, passengers either have t< encroach on the rights of fellow passengers or else go to the extrj expense of securing a drawingroor or a compartment. "In addition to the above incon veniences, this practice of combin ing six or seven trains, cutting dowi 1 the sleeping-car equipment from 3' to 12 cars at the most, the Pennsyl vania Railroad attaches one dinini car with which to feed the travelinj public that arrives in Washingtoi with a distinct and separate dinini car to each train. "The attitude as outlined is not i war babv. but a full-grown man-sizi attitude that has existed for man; years, and if the Pennsylvania Rail road is so crowded between Washing ton and New York it would appea to me that the Railroad Administra ' tion would utilize the Baltimore 6 Ohio, Philadelphia & Reading am Central New Jersey lines, regardles of any agreements that might exis j between the Southern lines and th I Pennsylvania Railroad. ; "In closing, I see no reason wh; the Interstate Commerce Commissioi and the United States Railroad Ad ministration should allow any publi carrier to discriminate against an; Darticular section of the country You do not find the Pennsylvani; Railroad dumping their Westen travel out at Pittsburgh and makin; them continue in cattle-car fashion then why. should .they subject th South to any such condition, anc for that matter, it Applies to th North as well, because they have t suffer the same inconveniences ii coming South as we do in the oppo site direction." | j ~ | RED SPIDER.

In discussing the proposed triple ' alliance between France, England and America, the Jacksonville TimesUnion says: "But we cannot see why France 9 should feel the need of assistance for g many years to come. Germany is more heavily in debt than any other nation ever was in the history of the world, and while France is also heav-> j ily in debt, she is not nearly as much so even in proportion to her alibity to pay as Germany is." Our esteemed contemporary has made a very serious blunder. In proportion to ability to pay, Germany is not one-half so heaaily indebted as France. Indeed, broadly speaking, Germany has won the war and T ? France has lost it, measured by the financial conditions in which these countries find themselves. The actual cost of the war to a France was very far in excess of tlje total indemnity that is demanded of \J Germany, so far as that indmnity can now be measured. If this indemnity should amount to $25,000,000,000, r I for all the Allies it would be a baga" telle to Germany as compared to the! ^ war debts which France is carrying,'j for France expended far beyond thati S ' 1 sum in the prosecution of the war.
