A RAILROADS. REVENGE.

Burlington, y. j., is u pleasant city situated
between Trenton and Camden, on the line OF the
Pennsylvania Railroad. 1t contained 1924 peo-
pie at the time Of the census Of 1890. 1t has
large manufacturing interests, and shelters with
IN It's borders Il great army Of commuters. The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company Is public cor
poratIon engaged in the carrying trade, holding
public franchises. possessed Of many privileges
granted by the State OF New-Jersey not for the
purpose Of comforting Il favor upon II, but for
the sake OF enabling 1t better to accommodate
the people which 1t is in operation to serve. In
der such circumstances the railroad company
would naturally have a lively sense Of its duty,
and, as Burlington is one Of the most thriving
towns on its line. would give Its citizens the
benefit Of frequent and fast trains. That is the
proper attitude Of a railroad company toward
those for whom 1t runs. But just now the Penn
syvania Railroad Company is not treating Bur
lington in that way.
There are few people In Burlington who do
not fall in with all the plans Of the railroad OFF,
eials. Consequently everybody In town suffers.

sentence the law provides. and that then. In some
way or other, Governor Werts can be restrained
from pardoning him. For the crime with which
he Is charged Is, we have said. peculiarly de-
testable one. It Is similar to the proverbial OF
fence OF robbng a church poor-box. 1t Is taking
advantage not Of the speculative instinct, nor or
the desire for riches nor yet OF the wish to get
something for nothing or for less than It's real
value but of one OF the purest and wisest I'M
pulses OF the human heart. the desire to make
honest provision for dependent ones against
threatened time OF need. To trade upon that ue-
sire to provoke and stimulate 1t only to trick ana
defraud 1t. Is to do something compared with
which picking pockets IL dgnfed and highway

Yet this crime. abominabe as It is. is by no
means uncommon. Exactly such cases as this
one s alleged to be have come to light over ana

a regular epidemic Of "provdent ana mutual
aid" societies with high sounding names, all over
the country. Their ostensible aim was 10 pro-
mote thrift. and to assure their members against
sickness or death. They were called "fraterh-
ties" many Of them. Their promoters were elo-
quent with Scriptural phrases and cody exhor'a-
ton. The ritual OF their meetings included pray
throughout an air of benevolence and an odor OF
sanctity.
They were, however deliberate schemes OF
fraud from the outset. They were devised ana
conducted for the sole purpose OF swindiine Ihe
