The Baltimore and Ohio is still on deck and
more saucy than ever when it comes to talking
outin meeting for the interests of the travelling
and wOuld-be rival lines. Its latest shot into
the camp of the high-priced and fancy-fXings
lines is O hot one. and already there is squtrm-
ing and twisting to get away from the inev-
liable. But there is no use of kicking against
the prOdding. and the average man nowadays
knows n thing or two which all the cunningly
constructed advertisements of those who want
the whole earth. and then not get enough, can
not blind him to the actual state of affairs. To
pay eight or ten dollars extra for the simple
riding on road that assumes all there is in

routes sum is cXactcd largelyin excess of the
regular ticket rate, and the passenger, whether
it be his choice or not, has to pay another ex-

declines to accept the conditions so arbitrarily
eXacted he has perfOrce to go on slow train.
as. according to the latest principles of these
autOcratic companies. fast time is only for the
wealthy. On the B. and o. the best is ever
deemed the honest due of all. and the great
American maxim that every man is his own
master to follow Ills own sweet will. has ever
been the all-gOvcrning rule of its half century
and more of existence. IN other words. there
are no extra charges of any character what
