Department Commander

Since Bishop Potter's noted centeu-
NAL address many writer's have been
reviewing revolutionary times but
when compared with the present they
fail to draw such disparaging con-
illusions concerning the condition
now as did the bishop. According to
the testimony of prominent men of
that day, congress included rascals,
jobbery and robbery were not uu-
known and selfishness was as we'll
developed as now. Correspondents
of that time allude to rascality in
trust and greed for Office and patriots
then feared that the corruption in
politics would eventually destroy the
republic. In a late article Gouverneur
Morris writes: $50 things went on,
with loss in the custom houses and
fiscal agencies nearly ten times in
percentage that which now occurs.
with frauds and stealings of all
sorts, which are set forth in all
manner of reports and blue
books with heat and personal
bitterness Of politics and with u I'M
iversal nepotism in the matter of ap-
pointments, which, ifpracticed today,
would make the press fairly howl. u
We do not believe that every thing
then was good, and that the country is
now going to the dogs; on the con-
trary we believe that the country is
growing better, While it is we'll to
laud = time that had so much of that
which was noble and good, is and
charitable to overlook the evil, it
need not be forgotten that corruption
existed and that it was baneful then
q it is now. The hero
ISL, and yalor Of the past should
inspire to . higher nobility and the
tact that much evil has been put
away should encourage 4 continuance
Of the fight against wrong, that the
ora upon which We are now. entering
may record even greater improve
ment than did the marvellous past.

As to Misuse Of Mileage Tickets.

As TO Misuse or Mileage Tickets.
The passenger department of the Bur-
lington road has issued strict Instruction.
to conductors and agents of the compa.
ny in regard to honoring mileage tickets
The circular reads:
"A ticket offered for the checking OF
baggage or to gatekeeper or brakeman
for the purpose of gaining admissi0 to q
train is in fact offered for passage Just as
much as when rendered to conductor by
passenger on a moving train. All en-
ployes are directed to exercise great care
to accept these tickets only at the hands
OF the original purchaser, and to that end
the conductors are instructed to require
the signature Of the passenger each time
the ticket Is presented. for comparison
with the original signature to the con-
tract. A common mode OF msusine
mileage Is apparent when the coupons
OF one mileage ticket are present.
ed for passage with covers of an
other. When mileage ticket Is pre-
sented in this wsv-or if it has expired
by limitation or Is in improper hands or
when 1t bears evidence of fraudulent al
terstion-the ticket must be lifted and
sent to the general passenger agent with
full report OF the circumstances. In case
tickets are confscsted as above, assure
the passenger (whose name and address
should be given) that il any injustice has
been done it will be promptly remedied if
he will communicate with the general
passenger agent. This company has
suffered serious loss in revenue because
OF the improper use of mileage tickets,
and while the above is not intended ia
prompt employees to take them up with
out good reason it is necessary that all
who have the handling of these tickets
should be especially careful in handling
them
