about making statement of the whole
case, and said l did not know how it
could be done without its becoming
known that money had been paid in the

Moulton reflected on Beecher for telling
me, but I told him had b ard from his

severe remarks about Woodruff, and
stated again that the matter was strictly
contidential; that Tilton should deny
the payment OF money, ana Beecher
must. 1 said Beecher must make this
fact known if he would give statement
OF the case. Moulton said that Tilton
did not know the source from which this
money came. When ne said this 1 said

EDITOR STAR: | noticed in your col
hfnhs few days ago the assertion that
the people of the East End were fast be-
coming rec6nciled to the doublefare
cha ge as adopted by the Consolidated
Railroad Company. Allow me TO say
that this WAS a very great mistake.
This is not the first time that exorbitant
line OF cars, and the experience which
tie East End people have enjoyed has
demonstrated to them tile Ineffective
ness OF Indignation meetings and open
violence as employed against centered
and united money power. The City
Council has so long and so far neglected
to limit and equalize the fare by ordi-
nance and to protect the citizen from
the fuctuat1ng and arbitrary charges
OF the rallroad authorities, that every
street passenger Of the East End, who
can walk, walks in the conviction that
the remedy is alone in himself.
The consequence is that the cars, be-
fore the extra charge, filled TO overflow
ing in the morning and evening, are now
able to seat their present passengers
with comfort, while Front street at such
times, flied with male and female pedes-
TRANS, show the means to which the peO-
pie have. resorted TO effect, SO for as
they may, the purpose they desire.
The proposition made tor their relief,
the effect of which Is to lay a track to
Columbia on the Il. M. r. R., is not at all
practical, for the reason THAT the train
could not possibly equal the street cars
in the convenience and frequency of its
trips to and from the city, and it is very
probable that as soon as the track was
completed the street conveyances would
reduce their fare to the original consid-
Grafton, which would again bring them
into the public use, and withdraw from
the proposed railroad the patronage nee
essary 10 support 1t. ......
Only one just cause for increasing the
fare of the line Can be seen, and that Is
where it is necessary for the support OF
the road, but this cause is not given in
the present case. MIR. Bullock's letter to
the public informing OF the extra fare,
gave as reason the delinquency OF the
City Council in certain matters, and
read like an edict from an offended po-
tentate, visiting upon his subjects the
penalty OF a double tax on account OF the
Negligent OMISSIONS OF non-capaDfe re b.
|resentatives. Nor does it seem that
there is any such cause for the increased
fare; for through the long and severe
winter just past, there were no com
plants as to the single fare, and it fol.
lows that there can partly be none now
in the beginning of the best season for
street travel.
The people Of the East End look upon
the double fare as gross imposition, an
endeavor to take advantage of their cir.
cumstances and the established habit oil
riding under the single fare regulation.
They are watching. waiting and aoaakiag
with fixed and quiet resolution, in the
hope that the Consolidated Street-car
Company may see and realize that the
double fare charge is impractlcable; that
the laborer, seamstress, student and ap-
prentice can not endure the drain OF 70
cents day Tor fare, when that sum rep.
resents third OF their average income.
