Cheap Railroad Fares.

It is quite evident that the editor Of the New
York journal of Commerce has become imbued
with James McHenrys ideas of railroading, as
given IN the Journal some months ago, after
in Interview with the London gentlemen. Amer
lean railroad managers should take a hint from
the results Of the British passenger business by
rail in 1883, say the Journal Of Commerce.
Running first, second and third classes Of cars
to accommodate various castles and tastes. the
British railroad companies find at the end Of the
year that the lowest grade is by far the most
productive In earnings. The American railroad
corporations have yet to learn by thorough and
systematic trials to how low a point fares can be
put so as to produce the largest netearnings. Itis
invariably the case that those roads which do The
most liberal committing business earn the most
money from passengers. They reduce the fare ID
considerations the fact that the passcnger makes
daily trips But on each trip the company must
make 2 proft or else the more it the
more it would lose. Now, il it pays to take peo-
pie at reduced rates between two points BY the
month or For the round trip, why would il not

Are Pools a Failure.

The question, are pools a failure, seems to be
no nearer settled than two years ago. Among
railroad men opinion is about equally divided.
Yesterday one general manager remarked that
pools were a id humbug, OF, at least, those
run ON the plan of the trunklins pool Fink's
method of carrying ON a pool only offered a pre-
MUM to a road to cut rates. He we'll knew chat
after this year their road would steer clear Of all
pools run after the manner Of the trunk line
pool. Pressing him for the grounds for his re-
marks, it was evident that he believes all roads
but the one with which he is connected are
cutting rates. A few minutes later we met a
fastfFeight line agent. His first remark was: 81
wish you would get after Fink's trunk line pool;
its a grand fraud. Here our line has to sit and
look on and let two competing lines take our
business at a cut rate;n he naming as Fdte-eutters
the road, and the two lines, both Of which
operate over the road of the general
manager above quoted. We next met a local
agent. He remarked that he wished the pools
wereal wiped out; it just held them to rates and
gave their competitors an opportunity to cut
rates on them The joke Of this, however, is
that the road Of which he is ageRt has done
more east-bound business out of Indianapolis
the last three months than at any tina in its
history, and within the last forty-eight hours the
general manager remarked they were very well
satisfied with the business they were doing out
of here. He thought the boys were holding rates.
1t was only their popularity among Indianapolis
shippers which has secured for them so unex-
peeted q volume of business The agent Of one
Of the new fastrfreight lines was next talked
with, He said their hne was doing a good bust
ness-always had since he took the agency. He
was asked bya competitor only an hour before
how he got SO much business, and told him con-
fdentially he worked for IT. It is due to his
competitor, however, to say that said line has
the reputation of being the champion rate-cut-
ter, and after hearing all sides one can but come
to the conclusion that the freight men whose

DANGERS IN THE MAILS.
TRadequacy of the Law Against Explosives
Guriesities Of the Postal Museum.

Washington Special.
The discovery of an internal machine ad-
dressed to q New York Italian has again called
attention to the inadequncy of the law which
prohibits the transmission of explosives through
the mails. In 1872, when the present law was
enacted. dynamite was comparatively unknown,
and in tins country the idea of removing" an
enemy with an Internal machine was little
thought Of. 1t was supposed, too, by tire law
makers that the postmasters would examine
packages, and throw out such as would be likely
to endanger the safety OF the mails. For this
reason, it is supposed. Congress- failed to provide
for violations Of the law by establishing a pen
atty. Last winter a bill was introduced in the
House with this end IN view. But last winter
was not a good winter for legislation. and the
bill failed to pass.

Evidently the editor Of the St Louis Railway
Register has been talking with A. A. Talmage,
general manager Of the Wabash system. In its
issue of June 8 the Register says sFor years
most railway men have known that the sc-calIed
fast.freight lines were leeches, sucking the
hood out of companies over whose roads they
operated. These organizations have come to be
nothing more than schames to enrich q favored
few at the expense of the corporations owning
the railways. They have increased until few
know just how many there are and the losses
they infiict amount to millions annually. The
fact that there are so many shows that there must
be an enormou profit in the business. There is
no occasion for the existence of dozens Of inn
aginary companies, which support armies of
solicitors and other officers and take profits
which should go to the railways. Their tend
ency, also, is to cut rates because of their arti-
fetal and unnatural competition"
