A train boy often loses money BY theft.
There is as much of mania among pas
sengers to swirdle a train boy as there is to
keep the conductor from getting a ticket.
Men VINO In business matters are as honest as
the day, and who would SILVER at the
thought of doing dishonest act, are trans
formed as soon as they get on railroad
train, and if they can get the best of the
company by hook or by crook they are happy,
and, although the amount they have sue
ceeded in stealing is small, they feel as good
as though they had made 500 in legitimate
business way. Why this should be so has
never, and probably will never, be satisfac-
torily explained. q
The train boys 60 through q car and leave
package OF candy or paper or magazine
on each seat. Then they go back to the first
seat, and begin to collect the articles or their
prices. A dishonest passenger will slide the
paper down the side of the seat out of sight.
or will cover it with en- overcoat or bag, so
that the boy will miss it, The only protec-
ton boy has from these thieves is to re-
member where he put his merchandise and
to demand it when he goes to look for it if it
is not in sight. As rule he gets it, but some
ineh are mean enough 10 go 10 the railroad
officials when the train reaches its destina-
ton and accuse the boys of insolence. The
news company receives letter next day
from the railroad demanding the instant dis
charge of the accused boy. Tho chances are
he will have no chance for defense, because
the railroads demand is imperative, and
must be complied with. 1t is estimated that
more than 5000 boys are employed on the
various railroads in the country-New Yors

Mr.. Cleveland has retired to Oak View
in order to prepare his last annual mes
sage to congress. There is little doubt
that he will manfully stand by the
position taken by him on the surplus and
the tariff last December He will make
more emphatic his former declaration that
it is condition. not theory, that con
fronts us He will still advocate the
democratic policy of reducing the tariff on
raw materials aud the necessaries of life.
but shove all he will insist that the income
of the government should be at once re-
duced in some manner. It is thought BY
some that 30 urgent does he consider the
necessity for reduction. that he will advise
the democrats of the house to accept the
senate amendment 10 the Mills bill rather
than have no reduction until the next
session Of congress. In fact the signs
are rapidly multiplying that the policy of
the democratic leaders at the coming SEES,
sion will be to secure if possible the pass
sage of some sort of tariff bill that will
reduce the surplus, and if they have to
accept the republican plan to do so under
protest, as being better than no reduction
at all This policy will if adopted and
persistently carried out. block the repub-
lican plan of letting the whole tariff
question go over to the ifty~frst con,
gress, which they will control in both
houses.
Mr.. Cleveland has already stated that
he would sign any measure which should
come TO him, making a reduction in the
revenue, whether in the tariff schedule or
the internal revenue taxes. unless there
was something very vicious about it. 1t
is certain that he would sign the senate
substitute for the Mills bill Just as it was
reported to the senate, but it is extremely
probable that the republicans will make
many changes in that measure before it
passpS

said to Have Been Selecting Timber for
Harrison's Cabinet.
NEW YORK, Dec IA gathering Of Re
publican politicians took place at the Fifth
Avenue hotel yesterday morning. Hotel
sossips were agreed that the gathering had
for its purpose the consideration very i'm
portant point connected with the construc-
ton of President elect Harrisons cabinet
Just before 10 O'Clock Vice President-elect
Morton entered a side entrance of the hotel
arm-ln-arm with Maj William Mckinley, of
Ohio, known as Sherman's personal repre-
sentative at all important meetings of Re-
publican leaders They went to Senator
Platt's parlor and were met by the senator,
Gen Knapp and other prominent Reprb-
licans, The vice president elect and the
Ohio congressman remained in Mr. Platt's
room about an hour.
After the conference they refused to be in
terviewed. The smaller politicians who it
seems, had been given tips about the confer
ence, were not so reticent They talked and
talked, and the conclusion they arrived at
was about as follows:
Gen. Harrison was willing to put Thomas
C. Patt and John Sherman in his cabinet,
if these gentlemen would work in harmony.
Consequently conference between the two
big candidates for cabinet positions became
necessary to harmonizs their differences, as
otherwise Gen. Harrison could not take
them into his official household
From the appearance of the conferrees,
after the conference, it might be judged that
there was a happy result Morton and Me
kinney clasped hands warmly on parting

Democra ic soldiers and The d. A. n.

indianapolis sentinel,
good many thousand democrats will
probably follow that grand old veteran
and patriot, Gen. John NJ. Palmer out of
the G. A. r. Our own opinion is that
no democratic soldier who values his self
respect can consistently retain his mem
bership in that organization.
Whatever its constitution NAV provide,
it is notorious that the m; ehinery of the
grand army has for years past been sys-
tematically prostituted to the service of
the republican party. Democratic COM
rades have been either ignored or insulted
at camp fires, ;" reunions" and other
grand army assemblsges. Demagogues
and blackguards like Fairchid, Foraker,
C0burn, Chase ard Tuttle have used the
opportunities given them by their official
connection with tire organization TO
traduce democratic veterans whose
services to their country in the hour
of its peril entitled them to respect
and honor always. Heroes like Gen.
Palmer, Col, Manson, Col Matson, Gen.
Slocum, and Others of that type have
been subjected to gross indignities, sim
ply because they remained true to their
political convictions. And finally, the
president Of the United States has been
grossly and wantonly insulted BY this
pretended non>partisan organization on
repeatedoccasiOns-a fact which, of itself
ought to drive selfrespecting democrats
everywhere out of its ranks.
The effectiveness of the G. A. R. as a
republican campaign annex has been
greatly increased by the pretanse of nom
partisanship which has been so studiously
maintained. Indeed, If it he'd sailed un>
der its true colors it would have had no
more influence in shaping political results
than any other avowedly partisan organs
izaiion.
We hope all democrats now connected
with the 6. A. r. will follow Gen. Palms
ers example and withdraw from it. Let
them form new organization to be cons
posed of democratic soldiers. Thousanda
and tens Of thousands of brave veterans
who have held aloof from the G. A. r.,
OF retained only a nominal membership,
would be glad to identify themselves
with such an organization. The G. A.
Il. would then be placed before the world
In It's real character--that of republican
aid society. As such it could indulge in
offensive partlsanship" to the top OF its
bent, and no one would have right to
complain.

Points Established by = Decision of the
Interstate Commission.
WASHINGTON CITY, Dec The inter
commerce commission yesterday, in its de-
cision of the case OF the New Orleans Cot
ton exchange against the Cincinnati, New
Orleans a. Texas railway, laid down the fol-
lowing general propositions that are of IN
terest just now, when there is so much talk
of a railway trust"
Whether railway companies combine or act
separately in making rates and charges is not So
important The essential requirement is that
however made they shall be reasonable Of them
selves and so fairly adj usted as to be reasonable
in their relations to each other and in their re-
suits.
That under like conditions freight can be car
red proportionately lower for long than short dis
tances is as nearly settled as anything relating to
railroad charges can he. Equal mileage rates
would often prevent legitimate competition and
give monopoly in transportation to the best and
shortest road.
The reasonableness Of rates can not be fairly
determined in a proceeding to which some of the
pa .les responsible for such rates are not parties
Commerce between oints in the same state,
but which in being carried from one place to the
other passes through another state is inter state
commerce and subject TO regulation by the pro-
visions OF the act 10 regulate commerce.
In determining reasonable rates the fact that a
road earns little more than operating expenses is
not to be overlooked, but it can not be made TO
justify grossly excessive rates. Wherever there
are more roads than the business at fair rates
will remunerate, they must rely upon future
earnings for the return of investments and
profits

WASHINGTON CITY, Dec IAN important
hearing. indirectly involving 800, 900 acres
of land in Michigan, took place before Sec
rotary Villas at the interior department yes

of swamp lands claimed by the state of

Subsequently the lands were resurveyed and
declared not to be swamp They were AIKEN
from the state and as such opened by the
government to private entry. This action

the government in originally declaring the
lands swamp lands was final The roads to

ton were granted have disposed Of Sarge

northwest, including both of the Michigan
senators and several members of the house.
The secretary's decision is not expected for
several weeks
