through time thirty miles-or at the utmost thirty
6ve-so az TO be able safely to regain hall hour
or 40 when train has been detained to meet another
or has in any way fallen behind 1t cannot be neces-
sary Cor rival roads to run daily race from the res
board to the Lakes and they ought to unite In putting
stop TO timetable racing. Nothing is gained oy ID
the average Had the set time on the Ere ana Zen
trail lines of Railroad last season been an hour longer
than il was their passengers would In the average
have been taken through quicker than they were anu
a three hours extension OF the schedule-tme from
Nsv.York to Chicago or Cincinnati would have re-
duced the actual time usually consumed in making ne
journey We entreat the Railroad managers for ther
n credit and the benefit of their customers 10 so
saust their timetables that they will not miss con-
80 of,snar than once month. We don't say they
.houd not run even sixty miles an hour, should they
ever be able TO do so easily and safely We only urge
that they should not attempt to run sixty miles an nour
reouary until they shall be able at pinch 10 run
seventy.

the sitting atmosphere of close and crowded apart

manner that no ignorance of conductor or passenger
can defeat the necessary end. Take any device or
method YOU please-aDd the inventions on this head
are lecon. and some of them seem to combine cheap
less with eeiency-but do your duty and do it soon
C;rs vovr Dass,ngers time TO eat.--These ten min
ME meals are runous alike to good digestion aud good
manners. Better stop only day to eat aud then
give half an hour than to stop twice for ten fifteen or
even twenty minutes Or it may be we'll to provide a
setout Of cold fowl sandwiches, boiled ham, ~c, III
one car Of each express train on long route aud let
each passenger eat when he pleases or not at all we
do not urge this; we only insist that either decent
time to eat be given that there be no stop tor meals
at all.
A. Let passengers knOv hop long your trains stop at
anu place-Most conductors are very deficient mere
They stop here half minute there minute, then Ve'
next ten, or even more leaving their mass OF the pas
sepeers in total darkness to the probable length oil
their halt so that they never feel at liberty to leave the
cars for a moment This should not be. Whenever
the cars stop for more than one minute the name OF
the place and the number of minutes to be spent there
should be proclaimed in each car of the train And
especially when an accident or failure OF another
train to arrive compes halt at any point the truth
should be made known to all, so that they may tee-
graph to expecting friends take any other step that
may occur to them to mitigate the evils OF detention
and disappointment Now passengers on train out of
time are too often treated as if they were culprts,
idiots, or at least children
We have more to say on the general theme, but
we will wait and see how this is needed 1t is not
well to give people good advice at once than they
will be likely to remember.
