Transfer Checks on the Street Railway.
The directors of the Portland Street Rail-
road Company, as we understand, are now
considering the feasibility of adopting a sys-
tenn of transfer by which our citizens NAV be
better accommodated, thus enabling them to
travel from point on the Congress street line
to another on the Middle street line, or from
one on the Spring street line to one on the
Congress street line below Market Square, by
the payment of small additional amount.
This has been a matter long talked of among
our citizens, and if carried out would doubtless
meet at once with very general favor and pro-
mote an increased amount of business on the
road. Surely the length of either line is not
so great but that some such improvement
might be adopted to the mutual satisfaction of
both parties interested. There are two systems
in vogue in Boston and Cambridge in this re-
gard. One is for the road to sell transfer
checks by the strip as ordinary tickets are sold
say at the rate OF one cent each or two for
three cents, to be good at any time The sec
ond is for the drivers or conductors to sell
checks to be good only for the day on which
they are issued and sold, and in either case the
checks are only to- be used by a passenger
alighting from car on one line and being
transferred to another, similar to the High
street and and Market Square functions, or BY
passengers from another line who wish to con-
tinue their trip towards Deering. In the lat
ter case there would obviously have to be
difference in the number or price of the checks
used. The object of this check system is not
to enable passengers to stop but rather
to connect one direct line with another, with
out any delay.

tant writer; and to excuse the supposed COM
pilclty OF the Pope for having Ie DeuDl sung
at Rome over the event, quotation is made
from a dispatch written in cipher by the papal
nuncio at Paris month after the massacre
This dispatch is alluded to in the old Cyclo-
P9dtd while IN the new quotation is given
from 1t. Nearly half the account in the new
CHctop@dtd is devoted to palliating Roman
Cathoilc connection with this event, and the

AS the witnesses are all dead and the itera-
ture OF that age cannot furnish much new
light, we have ground for believing that Dr.
V Reilly doctored this article also, for the mas
sacre of st. Bartholomew Dav has been
standing reproach against the Roman Catholic
church. He argues the case in favor of the
Pope with all the ingenuity of Jesuit, and
shows that he learned their tricks as we'll as if
he had been one of them. Let every reader who
would Judge fairly OF the religious spirit of this
Cyctopedl0, where the Roman Catholic church
is touched, read the two articles on st. Bartholo-
NEW S Massacre. We ask nobody to take our
statement without verifica.ion.
"Fraud is More Dangerous than Force"
More than 100 parallel passages like the above
can be furnished from Appleton's old and nelc
CYctopGdid, and therefore
AppIeton's Cyclopadia is n Fraud.

to public examination, and having agreed to
pay $500, if we cannot prove as the REV. DIR.
HITCHCOCK says that "Appleton'S Cyclop9dia
hdS been carefully manipulated in the interest
Of the Roman Catholic church against the truth
Of history" and as silence ON part of the Ap-
ptetons shows unmistakable colcardice and
gudt, and as they know that criticism would
lind plenty of Jesuitizing in the work to con-
demnSlt and cenSure them-we repeat having
squelched them on the Roman Catholic ques-
tion-we shall 1ert proceed to prove the interi-
ority of "4ppleton's JFhiteocdshed CycLop9did''
in the secular departments. We shall pin q
LABEL to it that win indicate its true character
and cause Protestant families to shun it as a
aoolthteSS poison, for it is as Mr.. GREELEY
used TO say
''A Black Eraud.o
Flatulent boasting, Messrs. appleton, about
your own s. Uhiteacdshed Ciyclop@dia'' on top
of all the abuse you and your pack of syco-
phant-hirelings can heap upon JoHNsoN's will
not smother or hide the truth. Your
"Blghted Cyclopedid," as you well know, was
killed by too much Father O'Reillu in the east,
and the crows are already lowering over its Of
fensive carcass in the west.
THE CHALLENGE! THE CHALLENGE !
Come UP or Shut Up.
We have over 80 sets of 4ppleton's ReDised

taken in exchange for JoHNsoN's, and will

Roman Catholics) wants it, when they know,
what it is.
