The Free Pass Evil.

A few days ago a sensation was created
in the House Of Representatives OF Con-
necticut by Representative Pigott, OF New
Haven, who offered a resolution instruct
ing the Railroad Commissioners to report
to the House the names Of the members OF
the Legislature who had accepted free
railroad passes since the election last fall.
A number Of Representatives immedi-
atelv began to ridicule Mr.. PigOtt and his
resolution. They had the entire House
with them, and Mr.. PigOtt began to feel
very lonely and at the same time to get
very mad. Finally, member said that
the resolution was so absurd and silly
that Mr.. PigOtt ought to be given chance
to explain why he had made fool Of him.
self.
Bv this time MIR. PigOtt was so beside
himself with rage that he could with dill
fcultv restrain himself from Offering to
whip, single-handed, every member of the
House. He had posed as a patriot and
honest man, and he found himself re-
carded as a tit subject for a lunitic
asylum.
He turned the tables little on his tor
mentors, however, when he made his eX-
PLANTATION and made them wonder whether,
after all. they had done such a remaI ka-
Div bright thing in trying to check free
speech about tree passes. Mr.. Pigott
said: Il make this charge, and make
it without fear of contradiction, that the
committees of this House were made up
in part by an attorney representing one
of the gigantic railroad corporations Of
the State"
The glad smiles that had but little
while before lighted up the faces of the
free pass members disappeared, and they
realized that the fun was over and that
serious business had begun. 1t became
necessary to deal with Mr.. Pigott prompt
" and effectually. 1t was voted at once
that he must apologize TO the Speaker.
He declared that he ought not to be re-
ouired to do that until it was shown
whether or not his charge was false. The
House declined to investigate the charge,
and voted almost unanimously that he
should neither vote nor speak in the
House until he had apOlOgized.
1t will never be known, probably,
whether the railroads of Connecticut had
anything to do with making up the COM
mittees Of the present Legislature of that
State or not, but it is not impro bable that
they had.
This occurrence in the Connecticut
Legislature is sufficient to show the evil
of the free pass system. A legislator who
accepts favOrs from corporations cannot
act impartially between them and the
people, although he may intend to be hon.
est and fair. Members Of Congress and
State Legislatures ought to be prohibited
from accepting favors from corporations.

WOLSELEY,S TRIBUTE TO LEE

letter says: Il have personally known only

The Observation-Disclosures in Maine assert
that the policy Of high license, as tried in
Nebraska, Missouri and Illinois, has had
the effect TO reduce largely the number of
drinking saloons, and has turned great
items Of revenue into the State Treasures.
There is no doubt that hisn license is pre-
ferable to prohibition laws in sections
where il is impossible to enforce the lat
ter. High license efiectually closes the
low GROCERIES which disgrace so many
cities and communities, and has the effect
70 interest the better class Of saloon keep
ers in the enforcement Ofthe law. The rev
enue idea appeals very strongly TO muni-
cipaI authorities, and that seems to be the
principal arguments Of the opponents of
prohibition in Maine, as it is elsewhere.
