difference of opinion among the officials
of different railroads, who have been
watching with interest the experiment
in France.
One passenger agent who has made a
lifelong and profound study of the
habits and the likes and dislilies of the
commuter believes that he Will not take
at all kindly to the idea. The daily
trip to business" says this agent, "is
part of the commuters busy work, and
he generally manages to avoid wasting
the hour or thereubouts thus consumed
by reading the news of the day and
planning the days routine of work. In
order to do this he has to cut his morn
ing sleep a little shorter than he would
if he were TO breakfast on the train, yet
he knows full well that in u short time
after the new scheme has been put in
operation it will be just as hard to get
out of the bed at the new aud later time
as it is now at the earlier hour, and if he
eats his breakfast on the train he will
be just SO much behind in his work
when he arrives at his Office; and, le-
sides, it is hardly possible that he would
be satisfied with the breakfast"
Another passenger agent, who is US
ing his influence with the officials Of
his road to have the scheme adopted,
thinks the idea is sure to De popular,
and that it will benefit the road by
adding to the attractions Of suburban
life, thus increasing the suburban tras-
tic. In case we were to adopt the new
scheme" said the official in question:
''we should not think of burdening our
locomotives with an extra car, eXpet t.
ing them to make the prescribed time;
we should have to substitute the new
breakfast coach for one of the ordinary
ones, and then carefully watch the re-
suit. Our custom would come mostly
from the young unmarried men, who
now board in the country, who would
find it quite convenient to take l'odg-
ings only and get their morning meals
in transit just as they now take their
lunches at city restaurants. There
would also very likely be u respecta-
bic sprinliling of others who would pat
ronize the car, not regularly, but occa-
sionally, and this number would un-
doubtedly increase ii the plan were
pursued for any considerable length OF
time.
Should we expect the bre lllfast car
to pay directly? No, of course not.
Taken all in all, first-class passenger
traffic does not pay, but by building up
the towns along our line we develop
the freight traffic, which earns money
for tho railroad. An attractive and
convenient train service is the prime
factor in suburban development, and

1t is within the possibilities that one
of the best known railroads of the
United States, ,centering in New York and
carrying a heavy Communication traffic
every day, may take up with a recent
French innovation and introduce break
fast cars on some of its early morning
inbound trains. If the scheme be en-
tered upon, however, il will be with a
difference, since the French refresh
mcnt car is said to be stocked more
libcrAlly with things to drink than with
things to eat, and the edibles are lighter
than would satisfy the ravenous Ameri-
can breakfast appetite.
Should the breakfast car be put on ii
will he an innovation indeed, since
hitherto all facilities for serving meals

FREELAND, PENN'A, JULY II, 1897


In our columns today consider
able space is devoted TO an account of
the arguments presented to the COVER
nor for and against the signing of the
Orme bill. Regardless Of the main point
at issue (whether the bill be good or
otherwise), the statements Of some of
those who urged the executive to cXcr-
else his veto on the measure are worthy
of attention. When men who pose AS
honorable, truthful persons, whose word
in any matter should not be questioned,
deliberately declare that company stores
no longer exist in this state, it gives
proof that all the slavery of this country
is not contained in the lower walks of
life. The attorneys, agents and other
creatures Of the company store corpora
tions who appeared before the governor
and debasGd their manhood by present.
Ing lying statements are more to be
pitied than censured. Their position,
which not only forbids them to utter the
truth but which compels them to SANDER
their fellow-men when corporate pur-
poses require such pervcrson of their
talents, is indeed humiliatng one.
For the sake of the few paltry dollars
above which they could earn by honest
toll, these poor slaves have libeled the
miners en- maSse, publicly advertised
themselves as brazen falSifcrs a nd shown
to the world at large how dear price
they pay to hold their sinecures.
1t really does appear that corpora
tions, especially the company store spe-
ces, have as little respect for their lack
eys as they have for the ordinary wage
earnerS. Both classes are slaves, with
the difference that the former are in
thraldom of their own free will, while
the laborcrs are victims of circumstances.
Both must bow to the corporation which
employs them, and the larger the salary
paid the slave the greater sacrifice is
demanded from his honor, conscience
and humanity. The high-prced ser
wants must cringe the lowest, and no
lower could men go than they did at
Harrisburg on Thursday, when they
bartered truth and self-reSpect to curry
further favor with their soulless masters.
In all seriousness we pity the corpora
tion tool, let his title be that of super
intendent, counselor, special agent or
what it may. He is leper among men
and ought to be treated as such.

THE GREAT KHUAREZM WAR.
How the Tartar HOrdes Overrnn Per-
sin and Turkey,


Genghis carried on his victorious bat
ties towards the west until he reached
the territories of the mighty sultan OF
khuarezm. Here he halted, having no
immediate desire TO go beyond these linn
its. He sent ENJOYS with presents and
a peaceful message to Muhammad, the
shah, and but for an unfortunate oc-
currence the Mongol armies would prob
ably never have entered Europe.
Soon after the interchange of civii-
ties between the two sovereigns, some
of the sultan's subjects plundered a
caravan of Tartar merchants, and
Genghis demanded satisfaction for the
outrage. Instead Of giving up the chief
offender, as Genghis required, the shah
beheaded the Mongol envoy and sent
back his attendants without their
boards. This was an insult that must
be avenged, and soon the two empires
began great preparations for war.
The sultan was master of many coun-
tries, among which were Persia and
much of India. He collected an enor-
nous army, but in case of failure he had
no other recruits to fall back upon
Genghis. with his overpowering troops.
rushed on all parts of Khuarezm at
once. They swept from city to city,
leaving nothing behind them but ashes
and ruins. The sultan's armies were
almost always defeated. Muhammad,
driven from one extremity to another.
escaped to an island in the Caspian sea.
where he died in sickness and despair,
leaving what remained of his empire
to his son Jalaluddin. Jalaluddin was
brave and courageous, and did all that
man could do to avenge his fathers

AGAINST TIE MEASURE.

Ex-senator Grant Herring spoke
against the bill. He dwclt particularly
on points which he held to be unconsti-
tntional, and held that the bill would be
oppressive to the laboring man.
Ex-senator Wolverton opposed the
holding company stores; that he did not
know there were any in existence. He
was present to represent Coke Bros. &
Co. Last year they paid 100000 in
wages, only $162, 600 being deducted
from that amount for rent, oil and pow
der This bill was much broader than
merely the company-store clause. 1t
would work evil to the laboring class.
He dwclt upon the sale of explosives.
These must be sold to miners with eau
tion, because the miners cannot be al
lowed to handle the explosives them
selves. They will use SO much that it
would endangcr life and limb If they
had free access. Therefore, the mining
company must sell explosives, but, ac-
cording to this bill, they cannot.
Special Agent d. j. Mccarthy, of the
same company, denied that any mine
superintendent had ever forced groce-
ries or any other class of goods on
miners. He said that company stores
do not exist.
The governor has not intmated what
action he will take.

of the system in the United States
they take refuge in the assertion
that it is "paternalistic," assuming
that such declaration establishes
their position.
The indefnitness of the term
paternalism does, indeed, make it
difficult to attack the position of
those who hide behind its protec-
ing shadow. All government is
and must be IN sense paternalistic.
Therefore the only consistent OPP
ponent of paternalism in all its
forms is the anarchist, and it is
notable that among the comments
of The RECORDS postal savings
bank bill by workingmen and trade
unionists the only opposition ex-
pressed was by few men of avow-
edly anarchistic notions of COVER
ment. When the state undertakes
to protect it's citizens from violence
and theft it is in q sense paternali-
site. All the things which the
government undertakes to do for
the government undertakes to do
for the benefit of the people might
be called paternalistic. The public
schools, the fire department, the
postoffice, are all paternalistic in
situations, yet without them peo-
pie would be lacking in important
elements of civilization.
Generally the term paternalism
is taken to imply offensive activity
in looking out for the suppose in
terests of the people and in reg
ulating their affairs on the part
of government that is outside of
and above the people, In the
United States the government is the
people, and is engaged in carrying
out their will. The attempt of q
free and self-governing people to
use there government for the fost-
ering of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. is CO.
operation, not pateranalism. The
value OF the latter term as catch
phrase in opposition to the postal
bank system consists in insinuating
into it certain notions of autoratid
rule which have no place in this
