Editors Aduance If standing face to
face, and exchanging ideas with live,
wide awake editor fails to set ones brain
machinery in prime order for running off
an article to graceyour columns, then surely
reading "Uncle Jake's'' correspondence
will compete the job. There is a rich vein
Of humor pervading the entire article.
But he capped the climax, when he says,
81 never smelt the smell of whiskey on or
about the grounds" So, Editors and
readers mine, if none was drank, none was
sold. And this brings up thoughts that
for years have clamored for utterance,
namely, where does the rumseller, or deal
er in liquors dispose of his conscience, when
dealing out the maddening draught to his
brother? If he thinks at all, what a
thou ght picture he must frame to hang on
memories wall Homes desolated, hearts
crushed and lives blighted, reason de-
throned, these, and legion of attendant
ills, are thrust upon community by whom
Why, man whom the law says must be q
nsral (?) one, or he is not granted H.
cense! With my views of this subject, if
l wanted to advertise myself as bereft of
reason, devoid Of principle, and immoral
and impure, should get license to sell
liquors MORE ANON.

AMENDMENT a 70 THE CONS717U-
TTON

Editor Of Grange Adcance: s+s.s
We have been looking with degree OF interest
to the several newspapers of the State, expecting
to see some communication in regard to the pro-
posed amendment to our State Constitution, to be
submitted to the people at the next election; but
as yet, have looked in vain. Why have not some
of the knowing ones enlightened us voters on the
subject, whether it is better to hold annual or bi
ennial sessions of the Legislature?
1t is certainly a matter Of sufficient important
ance to merit our careful consideration. We are
aware that all that has been nec-
essary to effect change in the Constitution here
tofore has been for the Legislature to submit the
proposed amendment to a vote of the people, and
they have voted it majority perhaps, without
giving it further thought than that it had been
recommended by the Legislature
This should not be, especially with question
that effects our State like the present proposed
amendment. We may have, and no doubt do have,
too much legislation for the best interests of the
people If this is the conclusion we come to,
would it not be better to shorten up the annual
sessions?
Does not the rapid growth and development of
our State and the concentration o. monied powers
together with various other interests of the State
require annual sessions Of the Legislature? 1t Is
true the Governor would have the power 10 call
extra or special sessions. but if the pro >
posed amendment is made it is not at all likely he
would do so except in extreme cases. Thes are
questions we should consider, as we shall
soon have to answer them at the polls. L.J.

Il FRA I'D ON THE PUBLIC.

Here is another railroad expense that the
people would be glad to cut off, and the pas
senger fare lowered cOrrespondingly. 1t there is
any reason why railway companies should pay
commissions 10 ticket agents, the public will not
certainly be likely to understand it. A Chicago
paper says: Ticketscalpers open an office in
some prominent part Of the city, and by some
means obtain the agency Of small road so az 70
give their business legitimate appearance. These
men do not buy their tickets Of railway companies
in this city, but in St. Louis, some other of our
large suburbs. The fare from St. Louis to New
York, for example, is $27; the fare from Chicago
to New York is $22 The coupon from st. Louis
to Chicago is torn off by the scalper, and the
maiuder of the ticket, from Chicago to New York
sold at $22. For selling this ticket they receive
$1.5O commission, and for selling the ticket to St.
Louis they receive another commission in addition
to $11 the regular price from this city to St. Louis
thus they receive $3.50 for ticket which costs
them only $27, being net profit of $3.50 on a
single ticket from st. Louis to New York. On
tickets to Boston the profit is about SO, and to
Western cities, where still higher commissions
are paid, it is $12 to SIS.
The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad
Company paid last year no less than 100000 in
commissions; the Chicago, Rock Island and Pa
cifc about S55OOO; the Chicago Alton and St.
Louis about $75 600, and the Illinois Central about
$4,000; making for four roads a total of 900,
or over quarter Of million dollars. This money
is directly stolen from the travelling public, be-
cause they have to pay enough fare to enable the
companies to pay these commissons.-N W. C.
