Corductors' Convention.

The annual convention of the Conduct
ors' Convention was held at ST. Paul. this
week. The annual address was delivered
by Ward Nichols, Esq. conductor on the
New York, New Haven & Hartford rail-
road. and from which We take the follow
ing extracts
Most of the railroad corporations insist
on putting q uniform of some sort Or other
on the men employed in their passenge,
service This may be benefit to outsiders
but railroad man knows a railroad man
the instant he puts his eye on him.
Brethren, We need no uniform but the
uniform good WILL trusting hearts and

about a railroad man that gives him

ally q genial man, and he looks we'll fed
and quite sleek. as q rule. The hours in
open air, IN at artificial breeze of twenty
thirty or forty miles an hour, give him an
appetite that makes him relish his food
and the continuous joltiDg motion OF the
cars, not as vigorous as it used to before
the great Improvement in car springs,
brings with it good digestion, and seems
to settle the flesh down into soiidity. The
railroad conductor is n man of good rich

our strength to raise long stretches Of

jars our course; delicate trestIe work
where we are obliged o''slow up" or break

we seem to be running swiftly and trcmu

The Mercer County Railroad.

Happening up at tho Mercer County r
Il. Office this morning, we were shown
some extracts from the books which de.
monstrated most conclusiyely that the
charges against the company OF upjusi
tariff are unfounded in fact. 1t appears
from the actual figures that the rate OF
the Chicago. Rock Island i Pacific fixed
by the railroad and warehouse commits
ssioners is SLIGO per car for 10 miles
while the Mercer County & r. charges by
as per rate fixed by the commissioners but
1925 for Is miles, or only Is cents more
per car than the Chicago. Rock Island &
Pacific. and yet the latter is not in the
Grst group where it is claimed by some, the
Mercer County r 3. beloags. all this
fuss and feathers about 95 cents per car.
Even if the Rock Island & Mercer Co.
e, r. transferred $4,000 tons of coal in
stead Of from $4,000 to 10000 tons. as in
the last two years, and received all the
freight allowed to be charged by the CON-
missioness. the gross receipts would still
be lessthau one hal as much as roads il
the first group, where certain persons
want il to be placed. There is no tangi-
bic reason for changing the Mercer Coun-
~ r. r. TO the first group. and so Ear as
the evidence adducsd bears on the case,
the road is not only fairly condueted, ita
reports correct, but it is demonstrated by
absolute proof-~the books of the company
that the rates dxed by the state railroad
commission have been faithfully kept aud
the laws complied with in every respect.
