Hanged "A Hebrew bv Mistake.

On the Russian frontier it once hap
pened that an officer was playing at cards
with a friend, when Jew was trying 10

without n proper wise of his passport. The
sentinel on guard arrested him and re-
ported to the officer. "All right" said he.
Hours afterward the sentinel again asked
what he was To do with the jew The
captain, furious at being interrupted,
shouted, "Why d the jew! Hang
lim!n
The captain went on playing until the
morning, when suddenly remembering the
prisoner, he called the soldier and said,
"Bring In the jew" "The jew" said the
amazed soldier; "but hanged him, as you
ordered "What!" said the captain, "you
have committed murder!" He arrested
him, and the judgment--death-w up
to the emperor. Inquiring, before signing
so serious document, and learning how
matters stood. the emperor decided that
the soldier who, without reasoning, had
implicitly obeyed 50 extraordinary an
order of his superior, was to be made a
corporal; that the officer who, while on
duty, for the sake of gambling had given
the murderous order, was TO be sent To

Thursday, May 10, 1886.

The interstate commerce bill which
is absorbing so much time in the SEN
ate is II matter important enough to
justify the expenditure of so much
time in making it perfect before max
ing it law. The long and short haul
part of the question is the one that
has been debated on to the greatest
extent. Few who have not had actual
experience in railroading understand
why a difference should be made be-
tween long and short haul in the
matter of rates, and majority of the
Senate members legislate against the
adoption of a bill where the same
rates are not imposed for short haul
as against long one. They do not
understand the subject as a prac.
teal railroad man does and are
not qualified to discuss the subject in.
diligently. Rates for a long haul, or
as the railroads pronounce them,
through rates, are guaged by competi-
ton. Where two or more lines run
from one point to another, the rate n
business from one terminal point to
the other is generally reduced to u
minimum by the force of competition.
Those who have not made a study of
railroading wonder why freight can
not be carried between local points at
the same rate per mile as on the long
haul. In the long haul the business is
carried at a ruinously small margin,
and sometime at actual cost of trans
portation, and If the same rate was
made on local traffic the result would
be shown in very short time. The
road would be unable to pay the in
terest accruing on its bonded debt,
and a receiver would be appointed by
the United States. Local business on
q railway is what pays, through bust
ness Is sometimes profitable, and when
1t is, the premium is counted as so
much gain. We once attended a
granger legislature when the long and
short haul was up for discussion. The
members of the house were of the
opinion that such rate should be
charged per ton per mile on business,
no matter what distance it was car
ried. The traffic manager of one of
roads interested was present. His
road was carrying wheat and flour at
Is cents per 100 pounds a distance of
$50 miles. He figured up what the
rate would be on wheat and flour
when carried through at the rate pro-
posed by the Legislators and found it
would make As cents per 100 pounds
and when he informed the intelligent
members of the House Of their very
generous consideration, they let the
matter drop and no more discussions
took place on long and short haul. If
the people would abandon the impress
sion that the railroads are corporations
of robbers, only working to secure the
money of the public, they would be
doing what was proper. AS general
thing railroad corporations give the
public every advantage their line can
afford. And ii is to the interest of the
railroad TO do this and encourage all
industries, and help develop every
thing along their lines that will give
to them business. If the Senate should
decide to force the railroads TO accept
the same rate for local traffic as for
through, there is not railroad in the
country that could survive for any
length of time. They will be forced
into bankruptcy.
