Old conductors have Il large fund of
information and anecdote, and II would
asionish people to learn how critically
thew watch each individual passenger,
and how well they can describe the
travelling habits and idIosy Of
prominent people. Men starting on
long journey and during its progress
are sure TO show some individuality, and
railroad men being exceedingly oh
servant, can tell almost at glance
whether man is used to being away
from home or not. One experienced
conductor gave some OF his recollec-
tons in recent talk with the writer
He commenced by comparing Grant,
Conk ling and Blaine, saving:
Roscoe Conkling generally gets
one seat in drawing room, and he
gets all the newspapers he can buy,
reads them and throws them all over
the drawing-room In a mass; besides,
he always has a portmantean full of
law papers, which he sirews all over
every seat in the drawing-room. COnk-
| ling is a very vain traveller, and wants
every body in the Car to look at him.
Now, there's Baine he's just the

| drawing-room and shuts himself up.
But Grant is a queer old fellow. When
he was President of the United States
he nearly always travelled in special
car, but now. since he has become a
private citizen he travels just about
! the same as ordinary folks. You can
always fluid Grant in Il e rear end of
the smoking car with cigar in his
mouth, and there he sits with hand
on either arm of his chair and smokes
and smokes, seemingly oblivious OF
everything around him. He never
| looks at one. Sometimes he will look
out of the window tor hours. When
he is not doing that he's CHANGING over
newspaper. He is Indifferent to
everything that is going on. Why, il
the tram he's in stops on the road in
the open country for some minutes he
never moves. never inquiries what is
the matter, but sits and smokes stOlldl y
! until the train starts, while all tive
other passengers put their heads out OF
the windows or get OFF to see what's
gone wrong"
Il remember" continued the vete.
ran conductor, "a trip to Chicago

practical railroad man yesterday remarked
that he regretted that such feeling was coming
to the surface, in many parts Of the country, be-
tween railroads and shippers, regarding rates,
and that so much unfairness has been shown on
both sides, and so much misrepresentation by
parties who should have been above such bust
ness The assertion of Senator Van Wyck that
railway rates in the West are as high now as
they were when the railways were new, is mis-
statement of facts General Manager Galloway
of the Union Pacifc-questioned regarding the
statement made by Senator Van Week, that
railroad rates west of the Missouri river had re-
manned the same as when the roads were opened
says the earnings of the Union Pacific system,
about eight hundred miles of which lie within the
State of Nebraska, and which, in 1875, averaged
27-l00 cents per ton per mile, had been reduced
so that last year they were but l.6 cent and for
the last six months showed further falling off,
so that they average but 26 100 cent per mile
Such misstatements do harm Rates over the
roads in this section and over The trunk lines all
will readily admit are low enough, while in
Kansas and other Western States they may seem
high. In defense of these railroads it should be
said that over long stretches the grain traffic is
their principal, and almost their only business.
Even at the highest rates they have ever
charged, it does not give them good average
yearly income. Both the farmers and the roads
labor under the misfortune of being in a new
great variety of industries, and where the pas
senger traffic is still light Without the rail
roads the condition of the farmers would be pitt
full, as the great distance would wholly exclude
them from Eastern markets. They can far bet
ter divide evenly with the roads than to lose
them, and It may be questioned if in such divis
ion they do not get the better bargain. Time
and the growth of population and industry
solve problems that are too much for politics
and politicians. This rate question" he
remarked, twas a big problem to solve.
Such men as Albert Fink, Charles Francis
Adams, J. II. Rutter, George Roberts, John
King and score of others, shrink from assum-
ing any position in the matter until given more
time to investigate; yet some of the newspapers
fire away at the railroads, not knowing what
they are talking about, and what mischief they
may do by arousing the prejudices of those who
are really the most benefited by the roads
built through the sparsely settled country in the
West and Northwest" Commissioner Fink was
asked the other dSy if he had prepared a bill
looking to the national control OF railroads.
While admitting the necessity of such action by
the national government, and having decided
views as to the leading idea of such a measure,
he frankly admitted that the preparation of the
bill to meet the case would be no easy task even
for him. and he the leading railroad expert Of
his time This is the feeling of all who
fully consider the situation
