Erie canal, and this appropriation was
made with the avowed purpose Of rescu-
ing tho State from the dominion of it's
railway rulers. The second act was that
requiring the railroads to carry bicycles
inpassenger trains as free baggage. The
recent legislation In Massachusetts re-
stricting the issue Of railroad stocks is
indicative of an aroused public sentiment
on the railroad question in that State.
The election of Governor Pingree in
Michigan is certain to result in making
the settlement Of the railroad problem
the all important matter for the con-
sideration Of the coming Michigan
Legislature. Connecticut led the whole
country in the first movement to control
the railroads by the passage of short
haul legislation, but her people then
fell asleep, and it has seemed, at times,
as il nothing less than an earthquake
would arouse the sleepers. The late
political campaign, however, has awak-
ened our people to new life, and the re-
cent editorials in the Hartford COWrGNt
would indicate that the Connecticut
conservative is ready to join hands with
the Connecticut radical in saving the
nation from those who seem to be con-
spring to compass its ruin.
The sufferings Of the South and the
West from the injustice Of railway
managers has prepared the people of
those sections to welcome with delight

fast slipping away from the control Of
the National CongressS
Is it not folly in view Of this condition
Of things to waste our time worrying
about the currency or about the customs
tariff Important as it is to New Eng
land that her people should enjoy the
"freedom of the SEAS" what difference
will it make to her whether the policy of
"protection" or "freedOm to trade" shall
prevail at Washington, 30 long as the
movements OF her people, and Of their
produce, both on land and sea, are deter.
mined by half dozen men controlling
both her railway and her steamship
lines? But is it possible to support our
great public transportation system by
the imposition Of such low, uniform
taxes as / have suggested, and is it
right to make this tax uniform for all
distances?
Sir Rowland Hill discovered that the
actual cost Of transporting a letter
twenty-fiv miles in the light mail, Lon
don to Louth, was fifty times greater
than the carriage Of a similar letter 400
miles in the heavy mail, London to Edin-
burgh.
Pursuing his Investigations, he found
that, in numberless cases, the cost OF the
short service was greater than that Of the
long service, and he was therefore driven
to the conclusion not only that the rate
charged for the shortest service would
pay the cost of the average service but
also that both justice and the advance
ment Of commerce would be best sub
served by making this "Penny Post" rate
the uniform standard rate for the whole
United Kingdom. What is true Of the
ordinary postal service is equally true Of
the railway service.
Now word as to my reasons for ex-
pecting that our honored Labor Commis-
sioner's seductive suggestion may be
acted upon within the next three years.
In the first place, remember that in
April, 1894, Governor Mckinley Of Ohio
signed bill requiring several towns in
Geauga county, Ohio, to issue bonds for
the improvement of their highways, by
placing thereon an iron or steel track for
the passage Of an electric car or cars pro-
PEELED by any insnimste power, said
track to remain forever part OF
the public highway and Of the
public property. The man who, as
Governor, took this first step toward
the State ownership OF tramway lines
must be ready, it seems to be, to look
very favorably on such aseductive move
ment Cor the government management
OF railways as that above suggested,
Such step could hardly fail to secure
the much desired support OF the labor
ing classes for the Republican party.

TI0N.


the early assumption Of the entire con-
troll Of the railways OF the country by
the National government; he also pointed
out q very easy and at the same time
most honorable method for attaining
thia end.
"When the first bill to regulate COM
merce was passed." he said, "the great
and powerful wedge Of State socialism,
90 far as the governmental control Of
railroads is concerned was driven one
quarter of it's length into the timber OF
conservative government, Of that gov
ernment which means democracy. The
pending bill-the pooling bill-the mo-
ment it becomes a law will drive the
wedge three.quarters Of it's length into
the timber. There will then be needed
but one more blow to drive the wedge
home, and that blow will come at the in
stance Of business and not OF lsbor-en-
tire control Of all the railroads Of the
country instead Of partial control under
the laws now existing or proposed. With
25 per cent. Of all the railroad interests
OF the country now under control Of the
government, through It's courts, it is but
o very short step to that final blow
which will send the wedge it's full length
and bring entire government control.
This blow will be struck in the most se-
duCtive manner. It will come through
demand that the government shall
take charge Of the rosds--nOt purchase
them--shRll take charge Of the roads,
and out Of the proceeds of the transpor-
tation business, guarantee to the exist
ing stockholders Of the roads a small
but reasonable dividend. Under such q
seductive movement the stockholders
themselves, conservative men, will vote
for the striking OF the blow.
"All this, as I have said, will be at the
demand and in the interest of the rail-
roads and Of the shippers, and not OF the
labor involved in carrying on the work
OF transportation, as the demand Of to-
day for the enactment Of the pooling
bill is alleged to be largely in the inter-
ast Of the shippers and Of the public
welfare"
Supplement this proposed government
guarantee Of q reasonable dividend on
railroad securities by the further gov
ernment guarantee that, under the con-
troll OF the postofiice, the lowest trans
portation tax now levied for any railway
service in the country shall be adopted
az the uniform standard tax for that
GLASS Of service within the limits of our
railway system, and we shall have
movement so seductive that it can
hardly fail to secure the same quick in
dorsement by our people that came to
Sir Rowland Hills "Penny Post" scheme
in England in 1887.
Once let the people Of this country
realize that, with taxes of 40 cents ton
per haul on open car freight, and 81 a
ton ON box.car freight, and with taxes Of
S cents per trip for ordinary passenger
service similar low uniform taxes being
levied for special services-the govern

Something Of this kind must be done.
Our choice is between the freedom and
prosperity that will certainly accompany
the adoption Of such scheme, or the
slavery and general Impeachment that
will just as certainly follow the absorption
OF the wealth Of the country in the
hands Of few men under the rapidly
growing railroad despotism-a despotism
which will prove to be as hard and as
cruel as that which has ever prevailed
in the Orient. Gall southern New Eng
land is now owned almost as in fee simple
by the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford Railroad Company" says the Rail-
road Gazette Of New York. Those Of
us who lived through the Civil war know
the final result Of such q condition OF
things President Albert B. Stickney
Of the Chicago Great Western Railroad
says that, il the government practiced
such determinations in its taxation as
do our railroad managers in their busi
ness, the people would rise in arms
rather than submit. President Ingalls,
Of the Big Four, writing in the Engt'
neering Magazine in July last, &C
knowledged that, if the business Of the
railroads-the levying Of transportation
taxes-the discrimination in the appor-
tionment Of transportation taxes was to
be conducted in the future as it was for
the two years preceding June 30, 1895,
he and his fellow tax-gstherers would
lose the respect Of themselves and Of
their fellow citizens, and "deServedly so."
The enormous salary, over $4,000 a
year paid to the contractor, Westcott,
out Of the taxes levied on milk by the
officers of the Delaware & LRckawanna
Railroad, furnishes almost conclusive
evidence OF conspiracy between these
gentlemen and Westcott to tax the milk
producers OF New York State and the
milk consumers of New York city, on
the one hand, and withhold earnings
from the stockholders and ordinary en-
ployes Of the railroad on the other.
The late Investigations Of the accounts
fthe Baltimore g. Ohio road furnish proof
Of very general conspiracy on the part
Of the managers of these great public
works to make use Of them for their own
enrichment at the expense Of the gen.
eral welfare.
The story told in the New York World
Of December /, Of the refusal Of the
Ohio Southern Railroad to transport
coal for the Coalton Coal Company, un.
less it would reduce the wages Of it's
miners to the rate determined by the
coal pool-about so cents dsy-ought
Of itself, it seems to me, to arouse all the
three great classes, business, labor and
railway stockholders, to the necessity of
bringing this great public business un-
der public management.
Railways are public highways
post-rosds-railway trains are post
wagons. Railway rates are transportation
taxes. Can anything be clearer than
that the power which determines, collects
and distributes over 1000 million dollars
OF these taxes every year, the power that
controls the movements Of commerce
amounting to upwards Of 10000 million
dollars a year, must be the defacto
government of this country?

G. w. Reynolds of Los Angeles, CAL,
one of the Oldest travelling men in the
United States, is II years of age. Mr..
Reynolds has ranch, of which he en-
joys telling even more than he does
of the experiences through which he
has passed during his half century up
on the road. The ranch is near San
Diego, Cal. The chief product is
honey. This product is gained from
two apiaries, which Mr.. Reynolds Wis
its every time his business permits
him to go to Southern California.
I'm my apiaries, which are cared for
by my son. said he, there are 140
stand of bees. The honey season lasts
from April to July. This season my
bees yielded 10000 pounds OF honey,
which sells in that country in bulk
lots at cents pound. Two of the
hives gave over 500 pounds each. For
ten years i have been interested in
bees in small way, and l take great
er interest in them every year. A hive
or stand of bees is worth $3.50. In 1t
are the queen, the drones, and the
workers, a total population of from
10000 to $4,000 bees.
This very good-sized colony" he
continued, resides in a hive or wood
en- box. In the hive are a dozen
frames 13X7 inches In these the bees
make or deposit the honey, founda-
ton of wax having been first placed in
each frame by the beekeeper, so that
the bees may have something to build
upon. The honey is taken out of the
frames every other week during the
honey season. While doing so there is
little need of protecting the hands.
The bees seem to be most inclined to
sting one i'll the face. So, as a precau-
ton, the man who is removing the
honey from the hives wears straw
hat. from the brim of which is hung
silk veil, like they have to do up in
the Klondike country to ward off the
summer mosquitoes.
The queen is an absolute mon
arch within her dominions. She is
the undisputed boss of the job. An
ordinary bee lives during the working
season only fortyfive days. Young
ones are being Matched out all the
time. A bee goes to work at the ten
der age OF three days, and hustles like
a veteran for fortytwo days. Then it
Is just naturally all tired out, l sup
pose, for it dies. The queen lives
longer, and when young queen comes
into existence in the hive she drives
the old queen out. Her loyal subjects
follow her in her Punishment, and that
is what makes the swarm.
