The Free Pass Evil.

One Of the best propositions yet sub
mitted to the New York constitutional
con ventinn is that to prohibit railroads
from giving free passes to public officials.
/ The free pass evil is a great and grow
ing one, II has repeatedly been in
weighed against in the public prints, and
! in political speeches by "reformers -
still. nothing of consequence has been
done to stop it. II is prevalent, not
only in New York, but all over the coun-
try.
a particularly striking statement Of
the extent of the evil was laid before the
New York convention recently in the form
of a letter from Mr.. Brooks, second vice
president of the Pennsylvania railroad to
the president Of the convention. Mr..
Brooks says that demands for free passes
come from all classes Of public officials;
and frequently they ask for passes not
only for themselves and family, but for
friends In great many instances
especially when state legislators aud
congressman are the applicants-round
trip passes viii not do; they de
mand annual passes, or passes good
for the legislative or congressional
session at the very least And if
a pass, for the personal use of the APP
plicant, or for one of his friends, is ever
refused, that applicant is forever there
after an enemy of the corporation. even if
he has had a hundred passes before II
have known" says Mr. Brooks, "a mem

errors of states, United States senator's,
members of the House of Representatives.
members of every department of the state
government, from the governor to the jani-
tor, ask and expect to receive these
favors.n
The evil may be said to be all pervading,
when there is no excuse for its existence.
Public officials have no more right to
claim or TO ask gratis valuable considera-
tions from railroads than they have to
claim contributions from banks or
grocery stores. When passes are given,
in the majority of cases 1t is because
the company hopes to get back the value
in favorable official consideration or

taliation that would cause it a loss of
money. There is very little giving of
purely complimentary free passes in
dulged in.
Besides thesubtle bribery that is nearly
always involved in a free pass trans
action with public officials, there is an
other great evil in the system. It eats
into railroad earning. If ali the judges,
representatives, senator's, governors, etc,
as mentioned by Mr. Brooks, had to pay
their fare, as they ought to do, the
balance sheets of the roads, in the run of
a year, would probably show millions
on the credit side that are now missing
The absence of these millions is a rank
injustice TO stockholders and to every en-
ploye whose wages are fixed by the earn
ing capacity of the road.
The free pass evil should go. New
York is thinking Of prohibiting the giving
and taking of free passes by constitution,
and making such giving and taking a
penal offense by statute. Other states
might do well to take steps in the same
direction.

A Good Word for the Cows.

The country owes debt of gratitude to
a Chicago doctor; not for proving that all
cows are perfect, but for asserting upon
the risk of his professional reputation
that the great majority of COWS are be-
nevolent creatures with udders full of the
m ilk of bovine kindness for mankind.
For months the country has been afraid
TO indulge its hunger and thirst for milk,
because of the terrible tales of tuberculo-
sis in apparently healthy cattle told by
certain New York veterinarians. Certain
individual representatives of the country
indeed, have made the scare an excuse for
insisting that whatever milk they might
imbibe be made assuredly harmless with
alcoholic, saccharine and icy additions.
In such cases the fear of bacilli was a
benefactor, in so far as it furnished
reasonable excuse to be made to the folks
at home.
The Chicago doctor, however. says that
the tendency is to believe too much evil
of the COW. Experimenters in New York
state, and elsewhere, have had number
of high bred cattle killed, and in many in
stances have found evidences of tubercu-
losjs in apparently healthy cows But
that does not mean that all cows are to be
viewed with suspicion. tuberculosis, the
Chicago doctor asserts, affects cattle
pretty as much as it does men and women.
In some instances the existence Of the dis
ease remains hidden for some time, but in
the great majority of cases there are
symptoms that are unmistakable to the
unprofessional as well as the pro-
fessional observer. The sick COW,
like the sick human, almost invariably
gives notice of illness and then the sick
ness of the animal, like thatof the human,
should be attended to- The hypodermic
injection of "tuberculine," the test
made by the New York special
lists, is not infallible. At
Saratoga a week ago several cattle that
had shown signs of fever after the ''tuber-
culine" test, were killed but the after
examination showed no traces of CON
sumption or any other disease. The doc
tor suggests that the dealers in the tuber-
culine lymph, which sells for IS an ounce,
have been the people most benefited by
the diseased milk scare, and that many
nervous and over cautious people have
needlessly denied themselves a most
wholesome and palatable article of food.
The man who gives this opinion lives in
a city where cows are studied as matter
of science and business from the time they
enter this world until they go out of it by
way of the dressed beef route hence, what
he says, while it should not be accepted
as clean bill of health for the whole
bovine family, may have some effect in
restoring confidence in the poor man 5
good friend.
