THE SwIYDLRs OF HACKMEy-THE SOLE RE'
pRrssOgyges was fortunate, and 80 we're Cheops ana
Csdmus-for, as far as We know. when they Travelled
they had no troubles with hackmen who have ever been
serious pests and public nnisances in this country
Every once in a while We have reforinatory spasm
about these graceess scamps and resolve that some
thing must be done to prevent their barefaced swind
ling and shameless plunder; but our feeble efforts
amount to nothing
II seems a. natural for hackman to cheat as FOR
fab to SWIM or a city official to steal from the munic
pal eYcheQuer The Jehus Of the United states never
did anything else: they would die Of remorse IL they
ever dealt leniently with any man; and we VIII lay
wagers at large odds that no hackmnn between Bangor
and Galveston and Savannah and Saint Paul. has ever
received passenger during this century without en-
deayoring 20 cheat him. An honest hackman would be
a greater curiosity than the world has ever seen not
even the most creduous would believe in bis existence
no telescope or microscope could magnify him into
virtue.
We hear Of many plans by which to make hackmen
deal fairly; but know Of that are practical for
the living; albeit We incline TO the opinion that dead
hackmen will not cheat you more than twice minute
after decomposition has fully set in.
The best advice can give travellers who are neces'
STATED to encounter hackmen 30 prepare themselves
with the exact change and revolver. Whichever he
may take his passenger will on that occasion at least
escape swindliDg.
