company defines the position of that
railroad regarding the issuance of po-
litical passes in the following letter to
The Journal:
Topeka, Kan, Aug. "A. 1896.
To the Editor of The State Journal
Dear Sir:-I notice an article in your
issue of Saturday in relation to the is
suance of political passes by railroads
in the state of Kansas which is mis-
leading and which I should like to cor
rect in several particulars. OF course I
do not know what Assistant General
Passenger Agent Black may have said
to the unknown person who applied to
him for free transportation but if he
said anything which justified the infer
ence conveyed in your article, he was
very much mistaken. Neither do I know
what MT NJ. A. Low, general attorney
of the Rock Island, may have said to
the party making application to him,
but so far as the AtchisOn, Topeka &
Santa F'e Railway company is concern
ed, its policy in relation to political
passes VIII IN future be the same as it
has in the past, and that is to treat all
political parties with equal fairness
and Hberality. As a matter of fact,
many prominent politicians in the Pop
ullst and Democratic, as well as the
Republican party, now hold and are
daily using complimentary passes over
the Santa F'e road in the state of Kan
SaS, and L also from personal know
ledge know this to be the fact on the
Rock Island road. During the two years
that the Populist party was in power in
Kansas they asked for and received
more complimentary transportation
over the Santa F'e road than any polit-
zeal party, Republican or Democratic,
had ever asked or received before or
since.
From the above, however, it does not
necessarily follow that any man who
may come to me, representing himself
to be prominent politician. whether
in the POpulist party or any other par
ty, viii receive unlimited transporta-
ton upon his request and representa-
tons. Neither does it follow that any
man connected with any party who
says that he is nominated for an office
and that if he is elected will do every
thing in his power to injure me and the
corporation giving me employment. will
receive such favors. In other words,
the giving or refusing of transpOrta-
ton depends principally upon the char
acter and standing of the Individual
making the application, and not in any
respect upon his political Affiliations.
Yours truly, A A. HURD.

The majority of readers have never
heard of this malady, but that 1t exist

for that matter-will not be denied by
any observer who took the trouble to
look little beyond the havoc caused by
shot and shell and the long catalogue OF
we'll known and well marked diseases
incident to warfare. We refer TO the
malady known as nostalgia, which is
the medical term for inconsistencies. "
When this queer disease seizes its vic
tim with a strong grip, he is almost as
sure to die as though his malady were
cholera. Persons who die from nostal-
