PAYING COMMISSIONS.

The Step Backward Taken by the Pennsyl-
vania Creating Uneasiness.
Practical railroad men are rather disappointed
shat the Pennsylvania lines have returned to
paying commissions to ticket agents, and it is
feared that 1t will lead to complications and
eventually demuraize rates. When the system
of differential passenger fares was adopted it
was agreed by all the pool lines that on business
between differential fare points, no commissions
should he allowed the sale of tickets. The
Pennsylvania railroad, however. has been work
ing for the last TWO years secure the abolition
of commissions on all business competed for by
the pool lines. 1t has asserted that it had not
paid commissions on this business, and its state
ments generally were credited by the other lines.
The peculiar strength of the Pennsylvania rail-
road system (the financial obligations OF all the
lines from the seaboard to Chiego being practi-
cally borne by the Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany, thereby uniting all the officers of its West
ern lines in an effort TO work for the central
company made it an important object that COM
missions paid for securing business TO the other
trunk lines which were not so closely connected
should be abolished. The weaker trunk lines
have worked to bring all the business they could
TO their pockets without reference to The tnan-
cial obligations of many of their connecting
Western lines. The failure of the Pennsylvania
railroad to secure general agreement for the
abolition of commissions on all passenger bust
ness has caused II to take the step of meeting its
competitors. This action is regarded as dsquiet
jng, because OF the competition that it may lead
to in the Offering of commissions.
One of the Pennsylvania officials, yesterday,
when asked what this retreating step
meant answered, it means that the Pennsylva-
mia is tired of tine determinations against II,
which have been made since it ceased TO pay
commissions, and, as other companies decline to
adopt the same rnle, it will give up the fight,
which il had waged single-handed, against a
bad practice. He added: The practice can only
be abolished by the unanimous consent of all
companies and this will never be given. No
practical railroad man will, for a moment, ques-
ton the bad policy OF paying commissions which
makes 1t possible for a ticket agent at a central
point like Indianapolis, Kansas City, Chicago Or
st. LOuis, to receive a greater income than the
presidenC or general manager of the company
he represents. notwithstanding the attempt of
the Pennsylvania to cary out such a reform has
failed. it is highly creditahle to General Ticket
and Passenger agents Wood and Ford that they
set SO good an exanple for nearly TWO years.

McDonel Must Hang.

Governor Porter, after having carefully read
all of the voluminous testimony In the case of
McDonel, sentenced to be executed to-day, at
Fort Wayne, came to the conclusion yesterday
morning that the evidence of McDonel's guilt
was so overwhelming that he ought not to COM
mute the sentence.
The Supreme Court has said of the evidence,
sit is circumstantial, but the circumstances are
so clearly proved and point so concusivey to
the guilt of the appellant Ohe prisonerl that
there appears to be no ground for reasonable
doubt"
The murder was committed deliberately, for
the purpose of obtaining the money of the young
man whom the prisoner slew. McDonel, though
by law allowed to be witness on his own be-
half, did not offer himself witness TO dis
prove or to explain any of the facts proven
against him. McDonel's last hope is now gone
and he will hang to-day, sentenced.

So said a distinguished writer many years ago,
and it is as true to-day as them The poor vic
tim of Blood Disease is drugged with Mercury to
cure the malady, and then dOsed with Iodides TO
cure him of the Mercurial Poisoning; but instead
of any relief, the first breaks down his general
health and makes him a cripple, and the other
ruins his digestive organs. To those afflicted in
this way Swift's Specific is the greatest boon
on earth, and is worth more than its weight in
gold. 1t antidOtes this Mercurial Poison, tones
up the system and brings the sufferer back to
health and happiness. Every person who has
ever been salivated should by all means take a
thorough course of this remedy.

How the Time Standard was Changed On the

How the Time Standard was Changed On the
Boston and Montreal Roads.
The roads between Boston and Montreal, on
Sunday last, IL o'clock noon, adopted the
standard time. All officers and employees of
these roads, including train, section and station
men, whose duties require that they should have
the correct time for trains, reported at the most
convenient telegraph station and received the
time given frc,E the general office to the sta
ton operators, and all station clocks and EN-
ployes watches were changed to correspond.
All station operators were at their Instruments
on that day five minutes before IL O'CLOCK noon,
Boston time, and remained until the nav stan
dard time was given. AT points where there
was no telegraph Office station agents and other
employees, on Saturday, Oct. 6, regulated their
clocks and watches by the watches of the con-
ductors of the afternoon passenger trains; then
on Sunday, Oct. z, AT moon, set their clocks and
watches back sixteen minutes, and verlfyed the
same on Monday, Oct. s, by the watches of the
conductors of the forenoon passenger trains. 1t
Is expected that before the close of the month
OF October most Of the railroads in the United
States, east of Buffalo, and In Canada, east of
Detroit, will adopt the seventy-ffth meridian a
their standard. thus making uniform railroad
time for that territory.
