CUTTING PAssENGER RATES.
Travellers Coming from Cincinnati 90 New
York for One Dollar.

The war on passenger rates among the
immediate Western connections OF the trunk
lines. which was announced In tho dispatches
OF yesterday morning. was through the day the
ono subject Of discussion in railroad offices.
The local ticket agents OF the several roads said
that the news came to them through the morn
ing papers. and as the rate from Cincinnati TO
New York or Philadelphia had been reduced to
81 by one road. news from the seat Of war
was awaited with interest. The fight grows out
Of tho rivalry OF tho Atlantic and Great West
ern and the Pan Handle roads. Tho former
has announced the 81 rate. The distance is
about 900 miles. so that. according To the pree
ent rate. tho cheapest travelling ever known is
offered. Other competing roads are obliged to
Join in the night but, 80 far ns known, none
have reached the low figure OF the Atlantic and
1t is conceded that the Western roads cannot
indulge IN this fight n great whie especially II
they have to pny the connecting roads at the
carrying TO their dest nations the passengers
they contract 10 carry for 81. Officers OF tho
Eastern roads evaded the question ~ 10 whether
their roads did not have 10 share the loss made
by their connections. IL is generally conceded
that they do. especially when the relations of
the road are so intimate as those between the
the Pan Handle and the Pennsylvania roads.
IL was suggested that the war would not he

Row the Condition or the Working
men May be Improved.

The only way of raising working
men, and thus to some extent equal
izing the means and comfort OF So
ciety, Is one which few wOrkingmen
care to hear about. Let them give up
all payments to societies to mis-
manage their affairs, and waste no
time in attending trade or secret So
ciety meetings. Let them Rdjure, at
once and forever, all Intoxicating
drinks and tobacco, and let every
man determine to rise in the world by
his own skill, industry, economy and
integrity, instead of depending on q
society, to secure him a cOmmunistic
divide Of wages with all the dissi-
pated lOafers of his trade. Let every
man see that his wife and children
are as comfortable as he can make
them, and train up the latter in good
habits and the fear of the Lord. 1t
Will not take many years of such a
course as this to OOviate all the worst
difficulties of which workingmen COM
plain and in the next generation their
children may to great extent change
places with the present milliOnaires.
The common reply TO any appeal to
the workingmen to give up liquor and
tobacco is, "Why do you not call on
the rich men to give them up ?" The
answer is tWo-fOld 4: Whilst wasting
money, health and comfort 10 these
baleful indulgences, rich men do not
ask the public TO maintain their fam
lilies, as poor men sometimes do; and
the more rich men waste the means
with which they are intrusted by
Providence, the sooner will working
men and their children, II they be
wise, rise into their places. 1t is dif-
ficult to reach poor men with good
advice, just because Of their poverty,
but it is more difficult to reach rich
men Just because Of their wealth. We
offer first-rate advice to both, when
We exhOrt them to abstain from in
toxicating drinks and tObaecO.-N. Y.
