THE HARRLSON LETTER.

As the celebrated letter of Harrison to
Blaine, which is now exciting such wide,
spread comment, has not yet been pub
lished in this section, We present it in full
as it originally appeared in the New York
Herald. 1t is as follows:
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. l,lSS9.-My Dear
Mr.. Blaine-Your letter of the Dist was
received some days ago and was, both in
its ton and in its conclusion, very graft
flying to me. | am sure you nave read in
the newspapers accounts of my life since
a sufficient excuse for the delay in ac-
knowledging it. y = y Yours of the
goth has now been received and | hasten
to thank you for your expressed willing
ness to relieve Mrs. ii. and myself in any
way you can. = y y
As to myself, | do not think of any
matter in which | can now avail myself Of
your kindly profiered help. The mail l
now use sparingly for several reasons and,
as | will be in Washington long enough
before the Inauguration to enable me
TO talk fully with you, | will
not subject you to the risk of a
journey here unless it should be abso-
lutely necessary. If anything should re-
quire it, however, l will not hesitate to
avail myself of your very friendly offer.
| thought had nearly everything settled
in my own mind that required attention
before | reached Washington. If the
newspaper reports to day as to Mr.. ALI
sons position are correct it may u~nsettle
some of my plans. l said to a friend to.
day that if all seven of the cabinet officers
could have been found in Alaska it would
have promoted harmony in the party in
the states. Maine, | believe, is the only
state that has had no protest to offer.
My health is good. | get out twice a day
for a walk--a hurried run, to be sure
but it gives me air and exercise. You
must not forget yourself that you will
need all your strength. With kind re-
CARDS to Mrs. Blaine, very sincerely yours.
BENJAMIN HARRISON.

The Commission QUESTION.

CHICAGO, March 2S.-Gen. Men ulty,
receiver of the Wabash railway, has sent
a telegram to Judge Cooley, chairman OF
the interstate commerce commission, urg-
ing an early ruling as to the legally of
paying commissions on the scale of passen-
ger tickets. Gen. McNulta says western
roads continue paying commissions and
no meeting has been called with the view
of stopping it. AS a result of the tele
gram Judge Cooley this afternoon wired
Chairman Abbott of the Western State.
Passenger Association the following:
What Chicago roads, il any, still pay
commissions on passenger traffic. IF any
see if it is necessary and summon them
here in order to stop il"
A meeting will probably be called in
a day or two to consider the question.

RATES or ADVRRTIsISG.
JSO. p. CARROLL. Editor
RAILWAY

Isaac L. Rice of the New York bar has
made an analysis of the demonstration Of
railway management, showing that the
inherent evil lies IN the absence of a
sense OF trust among stockholders, who
make and unmake directors and officers"
The effect of this absence of trust is the
prevalent system of borrowing and buying
proxies, which, whatever form it takes is,
in substance, bribery. Mr.. Rice shows
that 1T is a scandal that votes on all mo
tons and resolutions which may come up
at any corporate meeting should be sold
in advance, while the seller has not even
a hint of what these motions and Tcsolu-
tions are going to be- He cannot know
whether referring to the past) his vote
will ratify wrongful and even criminal acts
committed by the directors or officers, or
whether referring to the ~future) it will
force.the corporation into bankruptcy.
If, therefore, either from a moral or busi-
ness point of view, no defense can be
found for the practice. some weapon more
potent than argument will be necessary;
buying and selling votes in corporate cleo
tions and meetings must be declared by
law to be what in its nature it is-a crime.
And when we reflect that the network
of $50, 1000 miles of railway of the country,
employing in its development and opera
ton 1000, 900 of laborers and involving
ten thousand million dollars of securities,
is rapidly coalescing into a few huge sys
tens controlled by a few central corpora.
tons, the question OF a pure ballot for the
election Of the managers OF these corpora
tons rises to national Importance" The
remedy that Mr.. Rice proposes is the en-
actment of a rigid law by the New York
legislature, in which state the financial
control of these corporations c%enters, to
secure honest elections by stockholders.
The several forms OF bribery, some es.
tablished by custom and some even made
necessary by the methods of transferring
shares, are pointed out in an essay which
he has contributed to the March num-
Der of the Forum; add he explains the
scope that a law for a pure ballot should
take.

Dickens 20 Mark lemon.

The Kent Examiner publishes the
following letter, written by Dickens
on the occasion Of the death of one of
Mark Lemons children. The editor
states that il is the letters first appear
ance in print:
my dear Mark-We are indeed
greatly grieved at your calamity. !
have no need TO tell you, dear fellow,
how constantly you are in our
thoughts, and that | have not forgot
ten, and never can forget, who il was
that watched with. aud comforted me
the night a little place in my house
was left empty. We know you will
both have found comfort in that blessed
relief, from which the sacred figure
with the child on his knee is in all
stages of our lives inseparable. For
of such is the kingdom of heaven.
II is hard, God knows, 10 lose a child
of any age, but there are many sources
of comfort in losing one SO young as
yours. There is a beautiful thought
in FieldingIs journey from this world
TO the next, where the little one he
had lost many years before was found
by him radiant and smiling, building
him a bower in the Elysian Fields,
where they were TO live together when
he came. Ever, old friend, yours
ever, CHARLES DICKENS"

answered, that is very hard. | took

FOX hAIEp TIE WoMEN
Curious Career Of the British Envoy u
the First Harrisan's DAY.

Curious Career Of the British Envoy In
the First Hsrrisan's Day.
The foreign legations of the first
Gen. Harrison's period entertained
freouently-dinners and evening par
ties being the style Of the day. The
notable exception was in the English
legation. Mr.. Fox succeeded Sir
Charles Vaughn, and the contrast be-
tween the two ministers was striking.
The one made the legation a frequent
scene of splendid hospitality; this
other, a recluse, who barred the doors
against all women and nearly all men.
His dinners were confined to the OIL
cial ranks, aud his reason for not IN
GLIDING ladies was that "he would
have to shake hands with women
He was the nephew of the celebrated
Charles James Fox, embalmed in his
tory, and was said 10 be a very able
man. His appearance was remarkable
very thin, but refined in features.
He generally appeared on the avenue
after 3 o'clock-always alone. Nan
keen trousers, with straps, then the
prevailing style, vest of the same, and
a blue coat with a large velvet collar,
which had been built, a legend said,
in Rio Janeiro while he was British
minister in South America; a shirt
collar that dwarfed Spinola's, coming
up above his ears, and a large hat,
many sizes too big, and a large green
silk umbrella. One hand was invari-
ably in his pocket, and he moved
along at a smart walk, neither seeing
nor speaking TO any one.
He never retired until 3 or 4 o'clock
and never got up until nearly the
same hour next day. Some one met
him at 6 O'Clock in the evening in the
Capitol grounds and invited him To
dine with them. He thanked him,
| but said his people would be waiting
breakfast for him when he got home"
At a diplomatic funeral-which
must have disturbed his slumbers, for
it was held in the morning-he said TO
the wife Of the Spanish minister
How queer we all look by daylight.
/ have never seen any Of them except
by candle light"

creditor would not know him.

night he told his reason for this habit.
