Railway Companies and TIcket Seminars.

New York World.
There is not a railroad manager in the coun-
try who will not give assurance of his un-
compromising hostility to the scalpers, and
efforts have been made to secure the passage
OF laws making ~scalping a penal offense. The
reason why these efforts have failed is chiefly
because scalping, as it is called, means merely
the selling of railroad tickets at less than the
advertised rates, and the scalper is enabled to
do this only by buying tickets from the ticket
agent privately at lower rates than are adver-
fused publicly. In other words, the scalper
is the secret agent of the company.

ONE of Morgan's redouDtaOle men, reoountine

ONE of Morgan's redoubtable men, recounting
his exploits during the war. tells an Gpochry.
phal story of the ignominious capture of Colonel
Robert G. Tngersoll. 1t is to the effect THAT
when his regiment was captured, the eloquent
Colonel was not to be found until "a beardless IS,
fourteen-yearold boy" came marching him Tito
camp, having captured him at the muzzle OF a
musket. He said he skeered up the Colonel IN a
hog-peu, where he was concealed under the
litter. The credit or discredit of hiding
in any manner to escape capture
depends wholly upon its issue. If successful, it
was a sh rewd and admirable exploit; but if the
enemy discover the hiding place., the aspect is
vastly changed. Passing over the possibility
that the boy may have lied and the boasJer now
telling the story may not stick to the truth, we
are brought into contact with another
charge against Robert. The raconteur
goes on to say that the captive. by
his genial manners and eloquent words.
soon became a favOrite with his captors.
He was placed on escape parole and treated
to the best that could be had. In the course of
events he felt. so obligated to his generous
captors that he wished to return some of their
inequalities. So he borrowed the sum of 500
in good Confederacy script, and dispensed
hospitality like a lord as long as it lasted. Now,
what gals the gallant Morgan man Is the fact
that IngersOll forgot to repay the money,
although he gave his note in due form, and
since the war has been dunned in regulation
manner. Morgan's men are of the opinion that
hej is a bold, bad man, and that his religion
won't wash and is not worth two cents a yard.
Bob ought to hunt up some Confederate script
and pay the claim il 1t takes the last one-eent
piece he can find i'll his pocket.

evidently now the stronger, which is
III favor of further reduction of the
tariff In this sense it is extremely
important, and will have great effect
upon the prospects of that party in
respect to the next elections. Mr3
Carlisle, although recently DENYING
that he favored abolition of customs

broadly intimated Lis belief that
a large reduction Ill duties should be
made, so much SO as to eliminate the
protective element in tariff and utii-
ize it for revenue only. On the other
hand, Mr.. Randall, of Pennsylvania,
one of his opponents, is strong
high tariff man, a stringent protee-
ZIONIST and represents the vast iron
and manufacturing interests of his
State and, in fact, of the whole coun-
try. Mr.. Cox, of New York, though
less pronounced, is of the same way
OF thinking.
We are bold to predict that any
considerable lowering of the present
protective duties will work injury to
the country and result disastrously
to that party which is responsible
therefor. The republican party is in
general, and by its history committed
to protective policy 1t has never
