SATURDAY EVENING, DEC. 81, 1881
Free Passes.

President Roberts, of the Pennsylya-
MIA railroad, has long been known as an
opponent of the free-pass system, and
under his administration it has been
much restricted on his road. 1t is now
announced that the direction have de-
termined with the New Year to still
further limit the passes granted, and it
is determination which will meet with
warm approval from the community as
well as from the stockholders. There is
no good reason why free transportation
should be given to anyone who is not
travelling on the business of the road. 1t
is contrary to public policy and an in
jury to private rights. The new cOnsti-
tuition prohibits the issue of free passes
to any but employees of the road and
there is little doubt that tile Pennsylva-
nia railroad is brought under the
cosnizance of this and all the other pro-
visions of that instrument by reason of
the beneficial legislation which it has ac-
cepted since it was adopted. 1t would
therefore be but compliance with the
law on the part of its managers to refuse
passes TO all who are not in their employ.
Their presen. step is not stated to be as
radical as this on tine main line Of the
road, but the privilege is no longer to be
extended to to the families of the favored
bancfciaries.
The readiness with which railroad
passes are accepted by honorable people
is very surprising. Those who would
not think of accepting a gift Of money
or any other thing of value from
strangers will take 4 pass not only with
contentment, but with great gratili-
cation and people who would
be hOrilied at the idea of violat-
ing the law are in 30 way re
strained by the express direction of the
fundamental law of the state from rid
ing free upon a railroad upon which
they are only permitted to so ride by
admitting that they are in its employ ;
an admission which ought to he very en-
barrassng to governors, legislators, su-
preme judges and the other officers OF
the state, nearly all of whom make it i'll
effect every time they present the
pass which nestles in their pocket books
and which is SO dear to their affections.
Newspaper editors ought to he equally
disturbed by their possession, but they
have a prOverbially 81 hard cEeck" and
tough conscience. The new order OF
the Pennsylvania directors will beal
heavily upon the craft {; but they will
profit in the long run by joining the
ranks of the common travellers who
pay their way and so only go abroad
when they need to. We can give them
this assurance from experience, as We
have long preferred TO pay our fare
rather than describe ourselves as rail
road employees.

Ir the Pennsylvania railroad manage

measures to keep their freight trains
from running into one another they had
better consider the expediency of leasing
their road to some one who will under
take to keep the trains apart for it can
not pay very we'll to have so many cars
destroyed and SO many trains delayed by
a blocked-up road. 1t would seem to he
easy enough to keep freight trains apart
which follow one another at freight train
low speed. If they are never permitted
to get closer together they will never get
together and if the trains are too
numerous to he kept at a safe distance
apart more tracks need to be laid or other
railroads chartered or less freight car
ried.

on a charge of larceny, came to an
am;cable understanding and treaty to
swap situations, Taylor taking few
days in the county prison in exchange
for Mulligan's agreeing to serve
his six months in the house of

also arraigned as Mulligan on a charge

the fraudulent exchange which the Off

The Old Year.

the way of comment or reflection. They
S,,eak for themselves and the events
which are here noted chrOnOlOSically
and which were reported in detail ut the
time of their occurrence in these col
umDS, have more than Il temporary inter
est. In a hasty glance over them it will
be seen that the year WAS to the world at
lirge one of rather melancholy interest

governmental powers and by Il droath of
wide extent and great severity.
materially affecting the agricultural
products, the basic element OF
wealth. In the cycle Of fires and
floods, plague and cpidemics, mortality,
accident and crime, the year justified
the gloomy prophecies of Mother ShiptOn
for it; and, all in all, at home and
abroad, it has been fcverish, sensational
and destructive i'm the general drift of
its events.
Notwithstanding all this there have
been general prosperity, activity in
manufacturing and stability in business,
rs well as peace among the leading Ia
tiolis of the earth, all of which some

1881 and makes us more hopeful for its
successor, whose foot is now at the door.
We sincerely wish health, peace and
prosperity to all our readers, and the
rest of mankind for the coming twelve
month, and we trust that at its close,
looking backward or forward, we can
