We print below a synopsis of the
laws passed by the last session of the
Michigan Legislature affecting the rights
and comfort of railroad passengers:
The Chapman Gilmore bill provides that
roads whose gross earnings in 1888 equalled or
exceeded IS, 600 per mile shall charge but cents
per mile fare; less than that sum or in excess g.
OF $1,000, 90 cents; less than ~, 600, 8 cents.
Upper Peninsula roads may charge cents on
gross earnings not exceeding SS, 600 and cents
when less, those provisions applying to no
road operating not to exceee hfteen miles.
This act also provides for thousand mile
tickets for $40 In Lower and S2J in Upper
Peninsula, available TO the purchaser, his wife,
and family, and valid for two years. Unused
portions will be redeemed at the end of that
time, but the road can charge 3 cents per mile
for portions used, that il the contract ap-
plies in both directions the purchaser using but
200 miles will owe the company 81 more than II
he had used the entire mileage. Another
amendment provides, after Nov. 1 OF the pres
ent year, for heating CARS of all passenger
or mixed trains by steam from the en-
gine or some other equally safe appliance
in the discretion of the Railroad Commissioner.
The protest OF railroad officials is nearly unani-
nous against the practicability of taking steam
from the engine to heat tho train, declaring it
Will not be satisfactory. Another amendment
requires that on and after Oct. /, 1890, all en-
ahr 9 ho n69Ttdea 9 , With mir
stopping the engine. Another provides that
roads shall carry State troops under orders at
fare OF cent per mile. This legislation was
prompted by seeming indisposition on the
part of the roads to make the usual concessions
for transportation of the militia.
Department Commander Brown, of
the Michigan G.. A. R., last week issued
circular advising members of the order
to stay away from the Milwaukee en-
campment. He says:
Firmly believing that the refusal to give said
rate of one cent a mile travelled is an unjust
discrimination against the veterans of the late
war, therefore, in concurrent action with tho
Department Commanders OF Indiana, Illinois,
Kentucky, Missouri Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska
and Minnesota, who have and Will issue circu-
lars similar 10 this in their respective depart
ments, advise all comrades Of this department,
as matter f self-respect and se1f-defense,
and out Of love for our order, that they forego
the anticipated pleasure Of meeting their COM
rades at the national encampment by remain
ing at home, only those attending who are duly
elected delegates or ex-ofiicio memberssof the
encampment Comrades let us be dignifed,
but resolute and determined in this matter,
and manfully resent this great Injustice sought

years of their lives and their best energies to
make our country united, strong aud prosper
