The Modest He1uost" Made for a Railroad
Pass for as.lf and wifc."
[Pittsburg Commercial Gazettel
In the COURSE OF a year the general Office OF
a big railroad gets som, queer. some funny,
some solemn, and some otherwise" requests
for passes. General Passenger Agent Ford,
OF the Pennsylvania lines west OF Pittsburg,
showed one yesterday which he calls Aths
modest and facetious kind" from a western
editor, living on one OF his lines Mr.. Ford
thought II too good to keep" and 1t is given
below, except the names and locality.
I have a modest request to make. want
to get a pass for myself and wife from -
70 Washington, d.. c., and thence to New
York, with stop privileges at Baltimore and
Philapelphia, and return know that the
general rule is 10 refuse such requests as
this. 1 wish, however, to state my case:
H~rstly-This is to be my wedding trip.
and country editors, you know, in such cases
depend upon their railroad friends standing
by them in the worthy effort to make their
brides believe they have caught a millionaire
when they hook ON TO a country editor.
Poor little innocentsi They think that all
they have to do will be to ride free over the
country and be the honored guests Of the
great Of the land. Little do they dream
OF the painful truth that they win nave to
exc out Of a scanty subsistence from tickets
TO snide minstrel shows and Uncle Toms
Cabin troupes; orders on corner stores, which
will be coldly honored for goods at four
times their value; contracts for organs and
sewing-machines. by means Of which editors
are permitted, after giving several hundred
dollars worth of advertising, to purchase an
instrument after paying eight-sevenths Of its
value In cash.
By the courtesy OF railroad officials editors
usually succeed in concealing these unpleas-
ant things from brides. and j, therefore,, fol-
low the custom and bone you for the passes.

rascals who must go, l will have TO hump
myself to get back in time to DO kicked out,
and will not be able to move a peg until that
momentous event occurs. / think l have
made my case; il you think not, let me know
and I will add an amended and supplemental
petition. Mark your answer private" I
have not yet billed tho town nor requested

say "burn this" but the words are painful.
Mr.. Ford says in this case it was too much
for him, and fearing an amended petition
he yielded and sent the passes; but he desires
it to be understood tha. this is not to be re-
garded as a precedent or ar example for
others of the fraternity.

CHICAGO, January 4.-The regular
Sunday meeting OF the Working
Peoples international association at
tracted the usual large crowd to No.
81 West Lake street this afternoon.
The gathering, which included few
women, completely filed the hall. The
Times report says Dynamite Dusey'
brought the chattering crowd to order
by vigorously humping with his fist on
the table. G. S. Griffin, the first orator,
stated that this world had been created
for people alike and that the capitalist
must take the non-capitalist into CO.
partnership or else with the assistance
Of dynamite leave the, world. Ar.
Parsons read lengthy whereas" re-
ferring to lock-outs in Pennsylvania
and asserting that the bread of the
wage-workers is owned by privileged
class. The resolutions appended were
adopted with whoop:
Resolved, That the despotic power
which the privileged class possesses is
destructive of life, liberty and happi-
ness, and should be abolished by any
and all means.
ResoIred, that the working class must
control their bread and the means by
which to obtain it. before they can, in
any sense, be free men.
Mr.. Parsons said the chief purpose OF
Socialism was not to deprive men, who
owned corner lot, of property, but to
make it his forever, to put all men in
palaces and place on their tables the
bounties of the earth. When Socialism
prevailed, every man would be a joint
stakeholder of the entire earth and
richer than Vanderbilt. Two millions
of men are out Of employment IN this
country. They represented ten mil
lions of people. Socialism had become
a necessity, and, said Parsons, lone
must accept it or perish FF TT{E

He answered that had any charge been
