The Commission Question.

The question oil the resumption OF pay
ing commissions for the solicitation of
business is the burning one, it having re-
ceived fresh prominence by the action OF
several Of the western roads in placing on
sale the tickets Of the Chicago 4 Alton,
which refused over year ago 10 accept
the trunk line agreement for the abolition
Of commissions, says the New York Irib-
tule.
II is evident that either n bold stand
must be taken, which will cause these
roads-thc Pennsylvania company, the
| Bee line the Baltimore X Ohio and the
lackawanna-to resCind their action in
the case OF the Chicago x Alton, or else a
general resumption OF the plan Of paying
commissions will follow. II is the prevail
| ing opinion among the railway agents that
commissions will once moro be taken up.
In fact, it Is confidently declared that an
immense amount Of irregularities already
exists. The weaker lines arc charged with
indulging in this evil, but the strong roads
are By no means free from suspicion.
/ There are indications that the barriers
around the passenger business built up by
the trunk line commissioners are fast
breaking down. One officer, who Is in a
position 10 know the facts, said:
III believe that even today moro secret
| irregularities exist in the passenger bust
ness than ever existed before. and II looks
| 20 me as II things were going from bad 10
| worse. Every effort is being made 10 Sc
cure business, and the scalpers are do
ing n ilourishing trade, which they
couldn't do II the rates were held with
perfect virtue. The agent OF a big road
asked n prominent scalpor today what II
would cost 10 sec that his road got iaiI
share OF the business 20 san Francisco.
The reply was that itwould be pretty close
20 $40. Now, the san Francisco rate Is
SOL. 20 by the regular lines, and fsl75 by
the Canadian Pacific. | fancy the com
mission OF the roads 10 the scalpers Is
divided as follows From New York e

the ladies who are endowed with
brains enough. who are strong-mind-
ed enough. who read, and understand
the topics Of the day well enough to
vote intellignetly. Our women may
not all be SO cool In an emergency as

its Of this column enter into discus
sion of the equality Of the sexes, but
we beg to ask you to hold up for the
consideration of your readers the one
simple fact that for moro than q cep-
fury the women of America have been
governed by laws in the making Of
which they had no voice.
Now sir, we do not ask for indis-
eliminate suffrage, we are not ready
for that, that would not now be pru-
dent, let the line be drawn at twenty
one years for natives, and naturaliza-
ton and illiteracy for our foreign born
population. Let US have no experience
with the ignorant Of other countries
among the women admitted to the
rights of suffrage. We have quite
enough of that experiment among our
population. Granting for the sake of
argument, that twenty-five out of
every one-hundred of the women to
whom the right of suffrage would ex-
tend under the above Limitation, would
not vote intelligently, twenty-five of
the remainder would vote with their

The vestibule train is . new factor
In western railroad transportation. 1t
IL claimed for these trains that on &C
count of their being connected by steel
hoods all danger Of telescoping in case
Of accident il removed, the train being
practically one long car. It is certain
that the oscillation Of the cars IL great
ly reduced, and 1t IL also certain that
the vestibule trains afford the greatest
comfort yet known to travellers. The
adoption Of this style Of train by the
Chicago, Santa Fe & California Rail-
way between Kansas City and Chica-
go is a strong bid for the passenger
traffic between the West and Chicago.
This new road is In many particulars
ahead Of any Of it's older competitors,
