THE CHEAP TRANSPORTATION
QUESTION:

AT meeting of the board Of d.
rcctors of the cheap transportation associa-
ton, recently held at their rooms in New
York city, some interesting facts transpired
both as to the organization of this associa-
ton and the extent of interest awakened
in it. The chairman of the executive COM
mittee reported that copies Of the constitu-
ton ana by laws had been printed and
distributed to over five hundred members,
while the general agent enumerated the
measures which had been taken to interest
the leading eastern merchants in the objects
sought to be reached by the association.
An address to the public was presented
by the committee on railway transporta-
ton, which was referred to committee
consisting Of the executive committee and
the committee on legislation, with power
to print and circulate, as well as to take
action on the Legislative recommendations
The spirit of the meeting showed that the
importance of the subject of cheap trans
poTtaton was not moderated by the large
number Of the merchants in attendance.
and that the purpose to fight the rings was
liked and settled one, which could not
be abandoned with safety upon any pledges
that might hereafter be given, either by
the railroads or the heavier operators in
Western produce.
The following are the main points of the
address, with the argumentative portions
omitted or condensed
While in Iowa, and other extreme
points of the West. corn is worth only
twenty cents per bushel, the market price
in New York is sixty cents, showing that
the public pay twice as much for trans
portation as for production. In Illinois.
Missouri, and Kansas, cattle are worth
from ten to twenty dollars per head, while,
at the abbatoirs in New York, they bring
from. forty to sixty dollars showing a still
larger per cent. of profit on transportation,
as compared with the cost Of raising stock.
In West Virginia and Ohio the finest
quality OF camel coal costs at the door
OF the mine only four dollars per ton.
while the price paid by the consumer in
& New York is fifteen dollars. In Penn

New fors, the best anthracite coal costs
only tb.ec dollars per ton, yet the New
Yors. price is seven dollars. These figures
we're made in October, and although fluc-
tuations in the market may have caused
slight changes since in the relative proper
tons, yet, in the main, they are correct.
The manufactures of The East are also
greatly enhanced in cost to the consumers
of the West. and thus at every step in the
examination Of this question we find the
people, the whole people, are dependent
almost for their very existence certainly
for all the ordinary necessaries of life
upon the transportation facilities Of the
country The committee go on to say
that ''every man, woman and child in the
United States pays tribute to our trans
pdrtation system upon the greater part of
everything they eat, drink and wear thus
we can easily understand that all classes
OF citizens have an interest in
its management. In the opinion of
this committee, it is not advisable for the
Government to undertake the business of
a common carrier of merchandise, but in
order that there may be some check upon
the rapacity of great corporations, which
have grown SO that no new enterprise
conducted by individuals can successfully
compete with them, and in order that the
people may to some extent enjoy the
benefits of competition, we would recon-
mend national iron highway between
the East and the West, to be constructed
by the Government but to be operated
under general law by individuals, they
paying toll therefor sufficient to maintain
the road-bed. Our system of railway
transportation being full of defects and
abuses, something must be done to rene
dy them. Because we have made pro-
gress during the last generation is no
reason why we should be satisfied, any
more than the engineer should be con-
tented when he finds the great power of
his engine is but half utilized"
We fear that this New York organization
lacks the wisdom to grasp the subject of
cheap inland transportation, except as it
has exclusive reference to the advantages
that will accrue to that metropolis. The
real key to the whole difficulty lies in fur
nishing to the people, the whole people Of
the East, the cheapest mode Of transporta-
ton possible, and one available at all times
at fixed low rates. This problem must be
reached. not by rail but by water, as the
testimony Of competent engineers and rail-
way men themselves has heretofore abund-
antly testified.
We're the great water-line of Virginia
completed, all the produce and stock of
the West could be forwarded East at one
third the expense of its transportation by
rail. But this line would be available to
all the Atlantic seaboard alike, to Balti-
more and Philadelphia as we'll as New
York, and hence the proposed national
railway to terminate in that city.
The Virginia water-line has infinite ad-
vantages over any other proposed method
of securing cheap transportation, and it is
to be hoped that our people will not lose
sight of its great Importance.

the matter for three weeks. The decision

Hopkins Stop.

When Hopkins was organist at st
Ahednegos church, he gave concert
for the benefit of the Sunday School
Hopkins would tib sometimes and he
had told some of his brother organists
that he had 'vox humana' stop in his
organ. As several of them were coming
around to the concert, Hopkins detcrm-
ined to prevent them from detecting the
deception. So he engaged a friend of
his who sang tenor down at the negro
MINISTRIES to come up and get into the
organ case and sing. 1t was arranged
that Hopkins was to give certain sig
nal and that the minstrel was to tune
up and MARBLE an air. When the con-
cert came off the scheme worked SPLEEN
didly. Everybody exclaimed. "How
beautiful Elegant isn't it p sounds
exactly like II human voice" Then
there was an encore. and another air
was sung. Right in the middle of it the
vox humana stopped suddenly. Then
it was heard swearing and using the
most dreadful language inside the or
gan. Then it yelled for help, and Hop
kins dashed around to the rear to ascer-
tain what was the matter. He found
that his man had been standing on the
bellows, and that the blower objected
to the extra weight. and finally began II
combat with Hopkins friend, and now
the bellows blower had the 'vOx hui
mana stop down on the floor inside the
organ, and he was nibhling at the 'vox
humana's' nose and rolling him around
against the pipes and among the ma
chinery i'll manner that threatened
general decentralization to the machine
And the more the combat deepened the
louder the 'Vox hunana' howled. They
were separated 10y the wardenS. and the
concert continued in a minor and mel
ancholy key. But the next day they
discharged Hopkins from the st. Abed-
negos, and now he wishes the bellows
man had murdered the minstrel on the
spot.-Hdr Idcicr.
