A REMEDY FOR CONDUCTORS KNOCKING
DOWN.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
The letter which you print to-day from an ex-
conductor Is an ominous commentary on the morals
Of America. suppose there Is no exsggeration In
the statement that almost every department OF
business, both private and public off1cia, is more
or less honeycombed with dishonesty. Suppose
that every one-every CLERK, every onlcial, every
emplOyer-should frankly acknowledge in the
daily press the usual ways In which he "lles" and
"steals" Qor those are the wordsl IN the ordinary
course OF his trade or OF his ofrica duties, what
mirror Of the times 1t would be Can America
AFFORD to 60 on In this mannerf Will you allow me
to suggest how the ocean Of inlqulty In which
we are sinking can be diminished At least
by spoonful Why, look at this case. Here Is .
conductor who, without plush, states how much
he stole every naf trip OF his car. TO stop this
peculation why cannot the directors OF our street
railways "larm out" their Cars Could they not
decide how mucn revenue eacn car Ougnt to bring
In to them, aud then let conductors hand IN bids
stating the amount which each Will agree to return
to the company ut tae close every week, the conduc
tor to have ali over this sum which his car will iur

ings, the driver to be- Oi course. such man az the
directors may authorize to handle the ribbons on
