A Brakeman's Version.

Il have been a railroad man twenty three
wears and a conductor ever since | could
work out Of q b. akeman's position said a
conductor. II have had through runs and
served my time in the suburban service,
and | think ! know most of the difficulties
and annoyances which conductors eXper-
fence. In more senses than one our position
is not enviable We are required to be
polite and attentive to passengers, and,
while most of us want to be, we find it a
pretty hard task. We are held responsible
for the safety of the passengers and OF the
train, and a blamed for things for which
we are not at all at fault In short, we
are between two fires, one from head
quarters and the other right on the spot
whenever and wherever anybody takes a
notion to kick.
There is all the difference in the world
between the work of different conductors.
The men who have the long runs on eX
press trains have the easiest time, unless
YOU except the conductors OF cmlgrduJ
trains who have nothing to do but take up
tickets and not hear questions. On the
limited express trains that stop but few
times, the conductors work Is not compar-
able with that required on an accommoda-
ton train. The one conductor can sit
down most of the time, the other has TO 90
through his train between stations regu-
larly. The men working on suburban
trains catch il the worst, and YET many con
ductors prefer these runs because they en-
able them ID be at home more. This stop
ping at every third or fourth street like
morse car, when the danger of accident
from carelessness or indifference is greater
than on the through routes, is one of the
things that makes the suburban service
ANYTHING but desirable from Il con
ductor's standpoint. People don't think
that going back and forth is travelling, and
they get careless. They stop and chat till
the last moment, and then get off after the
train is under way. Now, Mary Jane, you
will come and see me, won't you! And
bring your work and the baby and
Nv this time the train has started and we
are expected smilingly and calamity to help
the lady off and throw her bundles after
her. This illustration is not forced. 1t is
enacted every day on the suburban roads
The greatest annoyance of the through
routes. of course, is the asking of questions,
often natural enough in themselves, but re
iterated by one passenger after another till
the thing becomes 50 stale as to be almost
unbearable. Often one passenger will
make injuries, and in less than ten min
utes somebody in full hearing of my an
s,ysrs will ask substantially the same ques

thought people were guying me,b by making
their inquiries.

portionate to the work required and the
priuations undergone. This, however, is
not the case. The pay is uniform whether
we live at home or have to board part of the
time at a hotel, as we have to do when our
runs are long. Conductors get better pay
than they used to. Now our pay runs from
ss3 to 500 per month. There is growing
custom of paying conductors by mileage
which affords them much better wages
than the ordinary method, and l appre-
bend that this plan will some day prevail

I'm that regard they have seen their best
days The conductor who tries to pocket
fares to-day is a fool. The ingenuity of
railroad managers is too highly developed
to permit the cribbing that once was so
common. The conductor who attempts to
get rich at the company's expense will be
tripped up before he has got even the
corner stOn9 of his fortune laid.'

A Street Car Line.

Now that Logan is entering upon a new
era of development, the construction of a
street car line becomes Il feasible enter
prise. 1t might not be profitable from the
first day of completion, but the chances are
that it would. Say that the line was run
from the depot on Second street to the
bank corner, and thence along Main street
to the court house corner, and thence east
TO the Lindquist school building, and thence
north to Bishop Smiths corner, and from
there east TO Hyrum Haballs store, and
then out to the Fifth ward square. and
then east to a street just west of the Agri-
cultural college hill, many people during
the course of the year would be accOmmO-
dated Two cars would be sufficient roll
ing stock, and the laying of the road would
be the greatest expense. The running of
such line would not be very costly. The
line would be convenient for people going
to and from the depot, for peo-
pie going from the Second ward
to the Temple. as it would land
them Just a block away; for Agricultural
college teachers. students and visitors, and
for students of some Of the district schools.
1t would also be convenient for the general
public in the Second and Fifth wards, in
coming to the business part of town and
would therefore receive a large patronage.
The temple annually draws thousands of
people from various parts Of the territory
10 this city Many of them would be glad
TO see more OF the city if they could do so
without having to walk so much or without
the expense OF especially hiring convey
ance.
Every year the line would become more
profitable. as Logan is bound TO grow. Her
population and business viii increase. A
street car line wOulC help along the pro
gress. 1t would furnish fair Investment
for capital ana employ considerable labor
in the work of construction and some IN
operating. The matter is worthy of the
consideration Of our enteIprising citizens
who do not want Logan to be behind the
times in regard TO modern improvements

IT'S THE GETTING BACK.

II is in the mind Of the Inter Noun
tain that two sets of trains are to be-
run toward Helena just before the day
comes when the Legislature meets. One
set is to be exclusively for democrats
and il il to he u real nice affair sched-
uled To go through on time. The other
set, with republicans on board. is to
break down, go Over embankmcnts. get
out of coal, have hotter journals Than

~ hours Seligman will be out i'm n dis

I'm all hat it says about matters relat-
ing to h court in Butte which was
lately in dispute. First of all, the
Journal was eminently discourteous to
Judge DeWOlfe. while he WAS on the
bench, expressing opinions regarding
him which no other republican news
paper in the state has echoed and which
no body of reputable republicans, law
yers or laymen has felt disposed to EN-
dOrse
More recently, the Journal. i'm setting
up pretense to the legality of Mr.. IIamil-
tons court, has claimed for ii a legal
title which non of its constituents

1t is not worth while to point ont

The fact is that the attempt to re-

them. Judge Knowles openly ex-
pressed his disapproval and. when

ing issues can be settled.
The body Of democrats have held
firmly tn the view that the Mediation
court is strictly legal. We are told that
several lawyers decline to bring bust
ness there. not because they question
he legality of the court itself, but be-
cause they suspect that, owing tn the
politics mixed up in the affair, IA repub-
lican supreme court would upset Judge
Mediation i'm any event. The STAND-
ARD shares no such suspicion and ii has
tened to itself. asserting its
complete confidence that the supreme
court would he far above all question
of wrong motive in the matter and pre-
dieting that. when the question comes
before that tribunal i'm proper form and
ut the proper time, absolutely right will
be the outcome.
If republicans had felt any assurance
that their candidate had unquestioned
claim, they never would have permitted
Judge Mediation to take his seat under
any circumstances. They knew that
he had warrant for going ahead. and
the Helena Journal knows perfectly
well that the Hamilton IA was fin
ally set up, not because there was any
thought that he could legally hold
court, but for motives drawn purely
from politics m which concern the
influence which the precedent estab-
lished i'm Butte might have OH coming
