Avoiding Railroad Strikes.

Mr. Charles Francis Adams contrib
ute5 an interesting paper to the April
Scribner on this subject. The railway
interests of the country have becomeso
vast that strike on a road becomes a
public calamity. A railroad company,
says 1Ir. Adams, performs Immediate
public functions. Therefore the ordinary
relations between employer and en-
pioyed cannot obtain in its case. On
account Of the magnitude ofthe interests
involved, therefore, every means should
be taken to avoid strikes
in 1856, the Union Pacific railroad, of
which Mr.. Adams was president, with a
capital Of S375, 0O,C00, controlled $50
miles Of road. Onits payrolls it carried a
maximum Of 1900 men in summer and
$4,000 in winter. Taking this road as
his example, Mr.. Adams tells how he
would avoid strikes.
lie divides railway management into
five departments. The most important
Of these is the department which opcr-
ates the road. The vast majority Of the
employees belong to this department,
such as conductors, engineers, brake
men, switchmcn, etc.
Mr.. Adams would inaugurate a sys-
TEN of pcrmanency and regular promo
tons somewhat like that of the army and
navy, except that the employe should, of
course, be at liberty to resign at will.
The employees should be strictly separated
into the permanent and the temporary
corps. The permanent corps would be
those constantly employed. The tenn
porary one would be the class irrcgularly
employed. Promotions to the porma-
nent class should only be made from the
temporary one, and that only after full
trial. This system is at present in sue
cessful operation in the United States
postal railway service.
Further, there should be gradually in
creased pay with length Of service. If a
conductor had been in a company's serv-
ice five years at 500 month, then his
pay might be raised to $105 a month.
With each five years of service 50 a
month could be added to the pay.
Then fund should be raised, contrib
uted to partly by employees, partly by
the company. Only men of the perma-
nent corps should be allowed to contrib
ute. This fund would be for pensioninS
retiring men ana for paying expenses in
case of sickness, accident or death.
Finally, board of counsel and arbi-
tration should be chosen from both en-
ployers and employed In this board
the president of the road would meet on
equal terms representatives of his Gnu
plcyes \ permanent arbitrator should
be selected By both SIDES, to whom jiif-
cult questions shou'd be referred. His
judgment wor.g: be final.

1t required several days to Journey
from Baltimore to New York when
Washington was president He was in
augurated at Federal hall, New York,
April 50, 1889 April IS Washington set
out in his own carriage from Mount Yer
non TO travel to New York. He jour
neycd on to Baltimore that day, rested
over night, and started to Philadelphia
next morning.
Not till noon of April 20 did he reach
Philadelphia. He slept at Philadelphia.
Trenton, n. j., was the next stopping
place. Thence he proceeded to Eliza
BEETHOVEN. There he was taken on board
a barge rowed by thirteen river pilots.
In this stately way he crossed Eill Won
Kull and New York bay.
The vice president, John Adams, was
inaugurated April %. But there was no
place grand enough in which to inaugu-
rate the president. SO the father of his
country waited quietly one week, till
the Communications were affixed to the
Oii IILJ lAhll, ou Jlie tOiHeI Oh Nassau
and Wall streets. The congress met
there.
The little senate was in great guam
Diary. 1t numbered then only twenty
two members. Should they sit or stand
before the president when he came?
Many were OF ooilion that TO stand
smacl1cd too much of royalty. Others
thought that 10 sit would not be respect
full. While they were arguing the .Ane
for Inauguration arrived. They were
formally presented to Washington. Then
all proceeded to the balcony of the old
hail. The president took the oath there,
in sight of the people, just as he now
takes it in the open air on the steps of
the east front OF the Capitol.

SEAL CATCHING Ehseycs.

One OF the last acts OF the late con-
Gress was law enacted March to pre-
vent seal poaching in Alaskan waters.
1t empowered the president to issue a
proclamation warning off all unauthor-
lied seal fishers in the waters Of Beh-
rings sea, subject to the jurisdiction of
United States. The president is to en-
force his proclamation by the constant
presence in Alaskan waters of armed
cruisers. Russia, on her side, has al
ways protected the seal fisheries so efTec-
tuaily that no thieves of this kind ever
invade her waters. Perhaps now they
vii find that the United States means
business too. The presidents proclama-
ton has been issued.
Some protection of this kind must be
afforded or the seal will disappear as the
American bison and various native birds
ard fishes have done already.
The United States gives to the Alaska
Fur Seal company the sole right to cap
ture seal in the Behring's waters. 1t is
tilc single instance OF government mo-
nopcly in this country. In return the
company pays the government annually
a sum sufficient to meet the interest on
the $1,e00,030 originally paid for Alaska
The Alaska company are allowed to
take only 100, GOO seals a season. and those
? years old. The capture mast be made
at the propagatins colonies of the seals.
In this way the valuable, harmless crea-
lures are kept from determination. The
seal poachers, on the contrary, shoot the
parent animals in the open sea, leaving
the young to perish at the rool1ery. Tn
der this murderous system the seal would
soon be extinct and our ladies would
have no more sealslin sacuuCs.

In considering the pros and cons Of
the proposition to raise the salaries Of
congressman several points are to be re-
membered, Congressmen's wives and
families are expected to DO much larger
amount OF entertaining than they did
twenty years ago. Constituents must be
welcomed, and often housed and fed.
Balls and receptions are much more nu-
merous than they used to be. 1t is the
fashion of the time. When a congress
mans wife withlraws from the whirl of
the Washington season and endeayors to
live plainly in the old simple fashion she
is criticised. She does nothing to help
her husband along" it is said Unless
she dresses handsomely she is criticised
again, even By her husbands frugal con
stituents.

Chicago wants an outside harbor along
the lake side with piers for steamers and
schooners. Ever since the great town
ceased to be a swa lp, vessels have passed
up into the heart of the city by the
branches of the Chicago river, that run
through like great arteries. Draw bridges
connected the streets, and vessels passed
to and fro while the bridges were open,
and the people waited. The precious
time and money lest in this way can
never be estimated. Chicago proposes
to change it now.

Fifteen years ago the Argentine Re

penses thither were paid, as also their
salaries, till they had mastered the Span
ish language. Then they went to work

The interstate commerce commission
has decided two points recently. One is
that when a railro ad company makes
different rates for the same distances on
different branches of its road, it must
justify them by showing there is diff
ference in the cost of carrying on the
different branches. Secondly, a com
pany which has two routes between
points cannot lawfully charge more for a
shorter than for a longer distance on
either

Three or four years ago Brad Guild agreed
to sell to George NJ. Reed, who was on this
earth, an old barn and portion Of his back
lot for hive cords of wood. According 10
Mr.. Gild's statement Mr.. Reed proceeded to
move the back fence so it would take in thr
barn Immediately after the bargain was
made. Up to the z3d Of this month, how.
ever, Guild says he had not received stick
Of wood or any thing else in payment for
his barn and piece of ground. Last Sunday
morning he went to work and moved the
fence back to where it originally stood.
Since the death Of Mr.. Reed George Barton

supposed was their mothers property fenced
