Short and Long Hauls on Railroads.

Last summer the New York Cham
Der of Commerce propounded some
leading questions to the railroad mana
gers of the country in respect to the
charges on freight and transportation,
and among them was the following
concerning long and short hauls:
What do you think of the practice of
charging more for a short than for a
long distance? For instance 81 per 100
pounds from New York to Salt Lake
City, and 81 so from New York to San
Francisco?
One of the railroad officers makes the
following answer;
If the railroad company we're able to
fix the rates from New Yoik to Salt
Lake City, and also the rates from New
York to San Francisco, aSsd should, ar
bitrarily, make the lesser -ate for the
longer distance, it would be very fool
ish. 1t would be simply equivalent to
making present OF that much money
to the San Francisco shippers, and.
while there might not be nything par
ticulsrly wrong in it, it would hardly 6e
considered business transaction. Bat
if the rate from New York to Salt Lake
City is in itself reasonable, and less than
the service is worth; and If the rate
from New York to San Francisco was
already less by water route than

IT is becoming difficult to see where
the line is to be drawn in the matter of
exhibitions in human endurance. In
rowing, running, lifting, going without
sleep and abstaining from food, various
eccentrics have been encouraged to
strain their systems to the utmost point
of endurance by saying that all these
things are in the interests Of science.
If the assertion is true, why is it not
also in the interest of science to put the
stomach and digestive organs to the
severest tests alsop A man in Pennsyl-
vania the other day ate, and apparent
ly relished, seventeen raw oysters,
nearly half pound of common brown
soap, the best part of pound of white
sugar, and drank half gallon of beer,
at one meal. This is certainly disgust
ing, but it is not easy to see anything
more praiseworthy in abusing the 9TH
er human organs. On the whole, 1t may
be that excess in any direction mi ght
better be discouraged than be made a
subject OF admiration.

The world contains plenty of men
like Guiteau--moral monstroslties, they
may be, but society should be protect
ed from them as from other demons,
Seventy-two "cranks " have been ar
rested at Washington since the assas-
sination, men who are more or less
insane, as Gniteau is, but who know the
meaning Of murder and the uses of a
rope. 1t is just such men that the law
was made to punish, and that the
penalty of hanging was made to intimi-
date. If q few of these moral mon
strosities were hanged we would hear
less of them.

elaborated into Sunday-school book.
Sylvester Smith is bad man, and, be-
coming enraged at one If his COWS for
a bit of bovine mischief, he tied the
poor animal in shed and let it starve
to death. 1t lived seven weeks without
food and died a skeleton. Sylvester
was soon after afflicted with nameless
malady that puzzled the doctors, and
became unable to take food. Every
recourse known to medical science was
resorted to, without success, and he
slowly starved to death.
