A QUEER proof of the power of pelt
to dodge taxation is seen in Ohio's
attempt to tax Pullman's palace and
sleeping cars. All theorists agree that
Injuries should be taxed. and nothing
more luxurious than these rolling pala-
ces was ever realized in the loftiest
effort of Oriental magnifcence. They
certainly should bear their share
of taxes. They charge enough,
in all conscience. Yet, strange
to say, this rich and radiant class of
property seems to escape in nearly all
the States, not excepting our own.
Our surprise at this oversight is en-
hanced, when We remember the Pull
man company is entirely distinct from
the railroads, and is not covered by
their temporary charter privileges. The
art of taxation seems still in its in.
fancy.

RAILROAD REFORM.
Cutting CommIssIons-Fast Freights.

NuttinS SOfntnlsslOns-fast EreAsnta.
BALTIMORE, Nov. IA conference of
prominent railroad officials was held in
this city to-day, including John w. Gar
rett, Tom Scott and Cornelius Vanderbilt.
The object was to get the agreement of the
Baltimore and Ohio road to the Saratoga
compact. The latter declined, but agreed
to cut off ali commissions on tickets and
drawbacks on freights.
1t was urged by the Baltimore and Ohio
management that the first step in the direc-
tiOn Of complete reform was to abolish the
fast freight lines now in use in their North
ern trunk lines, viz: The Pennsylvania,
Erie and New York Central. 1t was
claimed that under this system independ-
ent organizations are enabled to clear
large profits which by right belong
to the railroad companies, and which,
if obtained by the latter, would enable
them to maintain always reasonable tariffs.
The officials of the trunk lines named ex-
pressed themselves desirous of the abolish
ment of fast freight lines, but said the con-
ditiOn Of affairs at present will not Justify it.

THAT BRET HARTE POEM.

Saturday evening. Several letters were
read purporting 10 come from distinguished
individuals, among them one from Bret
Harte, with two ''ts,n inclOsing character
istic poem, which the author Of the "Hea-
then Chineer would, we think, be almost
willing TO claim as indited, if not by
himself, certainly by a ''dOuble." No
assertion was made at the table that the
epistle or the verse (printed elsewhere)
came from Bret Harte with one q, " but all
present, save the few in the secret, jumped
at the faIlacious conclusion; and so have
several Of the papers since. The lines were,
in fact, written over the initials "B. H."
by Mr.. j. Cheever Goodwin, and all viii
agree that he was far more than q parOdist,
and excuse the jocose cheat very willingly.
