oBERLIN BUSINESS COLLEGE.


The following editorial quoted from
last weeks Western Christian Advocate
will be Of interest to young people of this
community who think of entering bus
ineSs college. The young woman referred
to, Miss Leli Comstock, although native
or Missouri, secured her business educa-
tiOn in an Ohio school, the 0berlin Busi-
ness college. This college has for years
stood at the head among similar schools
or this state, and many Of the best book
keepers, stenOgraphers and teachers of
the country are graduates of it. Miss
ComstOck entered September 3, 1888, and
completed her course the following
summer: Miss ComstOck, who is presi-
dent Of the COmstOck Banking company,
Of Green City, No., and cashier of the
COmstock Castle Bank, Of Green Castle
NO., is probably one Of the youngest
bank officers in the country, says the
New York Tribune, She entered the
bank at Green City, in March 1889, as as
sistant cashier and boOkkeeper,
which position she filled in all its yari-
GUS duties. In September 1892, the own
ers Of that bank organized one in Green
Castle, when they made Miss COmstock
president of the old bank and cashier Of
the new one. As the president and di-
rectors Of the latter bank live at some
distance from 1t, Miss COmstOck has the
real work Of the bank to do, and, despite
the heavy responsibility, she is interest
ed and successful in her work" Yves

assemblymsn Is allowed four more
passes, each week, il he asks for
them. This, for the four months
during which the Legislature is in
session, would amount to sixty-four
passes, good for, say, two each, or one
hundred and twenty eigSf csrsons, a total
Of sixteen Thousand. tM-o hundred and
eighty four persons carried free, at the
instance Of the assemblymen. The
average distance on each pass Is one-
hundred and fifty miles, or loss TO the
company of nearly $4,000 And this is
true OF all roads. Then there is the
Senate, the officials in the score or more

railroads Is 20 great that one Of their
confidential clerks IS located st the

there are Republican members OF both

purposes In turn the canals are starved
and the railroads protected.
Pennsylvania aas like prohibtory
provision in her constitution, but IL is a
dead letter, and nesrly all the state
officials are recipients OF favors from the
railroads. The only way to prevent this
evil is to make the Office holder who asks,
or receives for himself or another, passes
from any corporation, guilty Of mis-
demeanor and liable TO punishment.
The railroad companies are not averse
to issuing passes where value Is received
in return, and are even ready to rsclp.
rocate, but they are opposed to bein Z
blaekmailed in order to insure protection
Of their interests.

The convention now in session in the
city Of Albany. which has as its
object the revision Of the constitution Of
the Empire State, has just adopted an
amendment which will 60 far towards
remedying an evil which, from a small
beginning, bas grown to gigantic pro-
portions, and has become a regular
system Of blackmail This amendment
was proposed bF Judge Tucker, and
prohibits railroad companies and like
corporations from giving free passes TO
public officers In any capacity, and also
prohibits officials from receiving them.
This action is eninently satisfactory TO
the railroad men. who have been unable
to stem the growing nuisancs aud
obviate this immense loss to their roads.
