Railroad Parasites.


UMder the above head the PHILADELPHIA Record
makes a bitter attack on the present methods of
operating railways, and alleges that the railway
managements are ~profiting through the misman-
agaancnt of the roads. The Record says that
among the most destructive of these parasites
are the palace car companies, the fast transport
tatioE lines, the car trusts. and the inside freight
and real estate combinations. In all these par.
asitic fungi growing upon the railroads and sap
ping their vigor are the leading railroad officials
and managers. Nowhere else in the civilized
world are railroads thus systematically depleted,
ant tn this country at no time to such a degree
AS the present. AT last the railroads
have come to be regarded in many in
Stances as the legitimate spoil of the men
who have got into their control" The writer
of t1e above may be TO some extent correct in
his allegations; yet low rates are in a larger
Measure responsible for the short comings in the
way Of paying dividends. 1t has been ascer-
tanned by careful study of the cost of transpor.
tAlen that under the most favorable circum-
stances it costs five mills per ton per mile to
1aRl freight, and a majority of the roads have been
hAnAsng through and local business at an average
OF i've mills and sixteen one thousandth of a
cent per ton per mile for months past. After
pay1DG the interest on bonded debts, if
saGh reads can do it without borrowing
m~o1cy-there Is a mighty small sum to be
divided among the parasites. Another fact in
regard to this matter Is that none are more anx.
lens 20 unload the fast freight lines than are the
Scxy railroad managers the Record attacks.
Take the PENNSYLVANIA road-it has already IN
loaded all fast freight lines except the Union
line. and the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
owns every car in this line. The Erie people
have practically consolidated their three most
important lines, and one year from to, day,
doubtless, the New York Central will reduce the
nnsEber of lines to a minimum.

The Wabash Reorganization Schema.

LONDON, Aug. 11.-Mr. Bald, in his report to
the English holders of Wabash securities, after
referring to the extremely critical condition of
Wabash affairs, says he thinks that if the main
system can be held together and relieved of debt
the exercise of prudence and economy in the
management may result in the payment of divi-
dends.
The Wabash committee have issued an elab-
crate scheme of reorganization for the approval
of the shareholders. The committee express
regret that they are unable to present a more
satisfactory report. but they say that unless a
united ard determined effort be made to save the
property it will fall to pieces.

What the Travellers Protective UGion Pro-
poses To Do.

poses To Do.
Good results are looked for through the estab-
lishment OF a new society, to be known as the
Travellers Protective Union, as its real object is
to bring about an abolition of certain nuisances
a person is subjected to when travelling by rail.
The New York Times says that by the rules of
the association the members are bound to sup
press the man who turns over the back of the
seat in front Of him In order to put his legs on
the seat. The method to 6e pursued is to sud
denly turn over the back of the seat and drop it
on the offenders legs. If it breaks one or two of
them no harm will be done, for there. is good
legal opinion in support of the claim that the
man who puts his legs on a seat that does not
belong to him does so at his own risk. If the
legs do not break they will at any rate suffer
acutely, and the man who has been thus pun
lshed will be very careful not to put
himself IN danger a second time. Under rule
three, the woman VINO manages to occupy four
seats by turning over the back of one OF them
and hlling them all with her person and bundles
is to be punished by a very admirable method.
In every railway town the society will have in its
pay one or more particularly fat negroes with
great powers of perspiratlon. When a member
sees a lady thus m four seats, he will
telegraph to the next station for one of the So
ciety's negroes. When the train arrives at the
station the negro will enter the car of the offend
er. remove a few of her bundles. and seat him
self next to her. He will be forbidden to speak
to her or to annoy her in any way, except by his
presence. We may feel very sure that any
woman who learns of the existence
of the society and of it's proposed methods
will abstain from risking it's vengeance.
There are other railway nuisances which should
be combated, as to which the society will, at an
early day. adopt some method of proceeding.
Such are the man who keeps the window open
on a cod or dusty day; the man who will have
no ventilators open at any time, and the man
who tries to induce the brakeman to make the
fire hotter when the temperature of the car is
already above seventy. The train boy with his
peanuts, pop corn and figs is as well to receive
attention. The society will do a grand work
even if it confines itself wholly to the suppress
sion of the train boy and the man and woman
who occupy more seats than belong 20 them, and
the society will have the good wishes of every
ntelliccnt and Ihila.thrn.h bic .nan

this purpose is transmitted 1000 feet or more by
wooden bars combined with short stretches of
iron rod. the effect of the two combined being
that the transmitting rod does not vary in length,
it is claimed, with the weather. AS the engine
passes the gate it presses down a side rail which
raises the gate and places it in condition to be
lowered again by a train approachingfro from either
direction. The apparatus is SO arranged that
the train has no effect upon the distant station
beyond the gate. which is acted on only by
trains going in one direction. The gate is not
expensive or com plicated.

SEWERAGE.

Harper's Magazine for Septem-
Der is very interesting number;
moreover, it is one of permanent
value, because it contains an article
on sewage disposal in cities by DR..
]. S. Billings, U. S. A. This con-
tribution should be widely quoted,
since it conveys to the popular mind,
in the concise and logical manner
that characterizes all DR.. Billings
writings, the dangers of the
cesspool and privy, and the advan-
tages, financial and sanitary, accru-
ing from the sewerage of towns and
the proper disposal of sewage. The
following extract from the conclud-
ing portion of the article, the whole
of which we commend to our read
ers, is a sample of the sound advice
given:
SIT is easy to see that what may
be desirable in old and closely built
streets, with high buildings lining
either side, and subject to heavy
traffic, may be neither desirable nor
possible, on account of expense, in
a town where the houses are scat
tered, having large yards, and where
the traffic on the streets is light.
SIN the first case it may be the
truest economy to construct a subway
sufficiently capacious to contain not
only the channels for sewage and for
street wash, but all the water, gas,
and steam pipes which form such a
labyrinth in such localities, in order
to prevent the expense and delay
which excavation in such a street
for extension or repairs always
causes; while, in the second case, q
comparatively simple and cheap
system of earthen pipes for the con-
veyance of sewage only, combined
with another still cheaper system fol-
subsoil drainage, may be the only
thing which the value of the adjacent
property will justify.
"No one system is best for al
places.
although sewers are intended t.
carry foul water they can, ant

should, be so constructed and con-
nected as not to be offensive, and a
very important means of securing
this is to have the house-drainage so
arranged that all foul water shall be
OF once delivered to the sewer. Fresh
sewage is not specially offensive or
dangerous, but it is not possible to
keep any system of sewers free from
bad odors if putrefying sewage is
turned into them.
"The worst of all arrangements
is that by which cesspools are pre-
served and the overflow allowed to
drain into the sewers; and where
this is done the sewers will always
be offensive.
"Sewers cost money, but there is
no better investment for property
owners. The cost of system of
sewers for city varies from five to
fifteen dollars per head of popula-
ton, and the increase in value in
real estate which they serve varies
from ten to twenty-five per cent.
cit seems to be n common idea
that any one who can run levels and
plot contour lines can plan system
of sewerage, that the average con-
tractor can be trusted to carry out
the plans properly, and that when
the work is completed anybody is fit
to take care of it. All this is q great
mistake. Properly constructed sewers
are among the most permanent works
of the engineer; they should last
for hundreds of years, and be plan
ned for the future as well as the
present, and the employment of the
best experts obtainable, both for the
preparation of the plans and the
careful superintendent of the con-
struction, is the only true economy.
"The supervision of the sewers
after they are constructed should be
also given to u skilled engineer, and
it should include all housc-connec-
tions. In a system of sewers thus
planned, constructed and managed,
there will be no collection of dan.
gerous and offensive gases, and nc
risk of the causation and spread Of
disease through their agency. y
