BRIBERY BY FREE PAssEs.

The granting of passes by railroad
corporations, though il has been ele-
gantly called "a courtesy due to posi-
tion," is looked upon by the people as q
bride. A man whose business it is to as
sess property owned by a railroad could
| scarcely fail to have his Judgment biased
by free pass. Ne citizen who has a
suit against a railroad would care TO
try il before Judge who travels over
the road on free pass. A legislator
who has a free pass IL almost sure To be
influenced by it in his public action.
liz is only fair that the railroads. which
are common carriers, should treat all
citizens alike, and grant no courtesies
upon the ground that they are due to
position.
What In there in the position of a leg
islator, a judge, a coroner, a tax asses
sor or an alderman that should entitle
him to the courtesy" of free pass
No shoemaker sends shoes to any of
these officials as a courtesy due to po-
sitiou.
No tailor makes suit of clothes for a
judge or statesman rs courtesy
due TO position"
No halter even crowns 1.-The dome of
thought of any public functi onary.
When men make presents il IL 20
those from whom they hive received or
expect favors.
Corporations act upon the same prin
ciple.
When railroad gives free pass il
gives IL With the idea that il will infiu-
ence the official condnct of the man to
whom il is given.
IL is consequently bride.
No self-respecting official can accept
il, but because many officials do ride on
free passes is good reason Why the Civ
ing of them should he prohibited.

New York Letter to Troy Hmes.l
One of the most remarkable personal
movements of the present day III Henry
Wizards resumption of residence Ia
his native laud. Ii is now said that he
will make Berlin his future home, aud
il is probable that h0 will, 10 paftiai
degree at least, enter the go7erDnent
service. His knowledge of American
affairs would render him of the highest
use to Bismarck, while he could add TO
this lucrative banking business-hav-
ing the confidence of both continents.
This prospective change shows how
easily the best calculations yield to cir
cumstancea. A year ago Willard was at
the head of Que of the grandest Amer
lean enterprises, and fels so assured OF
success that he gave that splendid ex-
cursIou which must long stand uurival
ed. He war then estimated At hve mil
lions, aud was building u house whOse
cost WAS figured AT half a million. HIS
name was daily paragraphed aud went
the rounds of the press with all the ap
plause due to ono who had conquered
the greatest obstacles aud given suoocss
TO AN enterprise which iii the hands OF
Jay Cooke had proved So great a failure.
Hov rapidly this brilliant displIy WAS
followed 10y misfortune Taen came
the sad news of a general collapse, and
Henry Willard soon san ak beyond hope
Of recovery. He was the first Of that
remarkable series of failures which has
given such fearful distinction 10 the
present season.
