a Ser in tho Riaht Direction

The managers of the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad fully realize the fact, that
in order to secure the patronage ofthe trav.
cling pubiic,i it is essential to provide proper
accommodations. This company has, for the
past few years, been constantly improving
its property. 1t has practically relaid miles
and miles of track with the heaviest steel
rails, on good substantial roadway. Many
new cars have been built and added to the
service, and the Reading Company can now
be justly proud of the comfortable and even
luxurious accommodations which it furnishes
its patrons. Another important feature that
deserves mention is the shortening of the
time of many trains. Minutes have been
Topped off here and there, thus quickenine
the time verv considerably.
New and handsome stations have been
constructed at'mauY points along the line
and contracts for others have been awarded.
The bridges on its system have been strength
ened, and the service improved generally.
The Reading Railroad cannot now be sur.
passed for smoothness of roadway, magnii-
cence ofequipment, and speediness of train
service.

at most but two meals.and vet the county Is
charged for two full days board because as
we are told, the law recognizes no fractions
OF day. It is not said that the sheriff OF
the late sheriff is or has been a party to this
busiuess.and it is not contended in this arti-
Gle that either Of them have, or that ANYBODY
has, exceeded the legally established rate Of
charges but It is plain to be seen that the
law never cortemI lated leading itself or its
sanction to these men or to any men for the
purposes of their private gain. The law was
probably intended for the suppression or
punishment Of mendicancy but like many
other laws while it aimed at the correction
Of one set Of evils it opened the door for a
/ hundred others which had never been fore
seen. One thing the people are certainly en-
titled to know is how much of this money
was spent for the board of tramps. How
many days were paid for and at how much
per day Knowing this, it would then be
/ interesting to inquire how many days the
said tramp is charged for at the Jail, that is
how many times the said tramp was COM
mtted. And also, though it is no part Of this
report how many meals the tramps actually
had at the Jail and how many meals in excess
Of this number the county paid for because
the law recognizes no fractions of a day.
The money paid for this item is all dead loss
because It produces nothing, and il is a cry
ing sin and shame for a clique of men to
prey on the county like vampires or harpies
while the agricultural portion of the commu-
nifty which bears the burden is already over
loaded with tariff-created mortgages, and
finds it hard enough to make both ends meet
There are other important items of infor-
nation, one Of which would be what part of
this four thousand dollars was expended in
keeping and feeding prisoners with the
bread ofidleness, the proceeds of the hard
labor of many poor but honest and hard
working taxpayer2 There is something in
this whole Jail system that needs attention,
and would have received it long ogo if the
whole facts in the case had been properly
set forth. Give us some facts
Seven years ago this same wing of
the Democratic party which the Rec
05a represents, promised the people
radical reforms in county and State
government; but their campaign prom
ises were smOthered and legislation of

suited from their legislative session.
