NIOnOpOlIstic Thieving.

The frauds perpetrated by the rail-
roads upon the government of the
United States were clearly revealed by
Jerry Simpson in the house ten days
ago when he spoke on the Loud bill.
The deficit in the postal service is due
to the excessive sums paid to the rail-
roads for carrying the mails They
ought to receive fully $25.OOO,0OO less
than they do The government, how
ever, is under the influence of the men
who own these railroads. and as for
the house it cannot be induced to take
action owing to the lobby maintained
by the corporations. The postoffice COM
mittee of the house is composed of
special agents of the railroads who may
be trusted to see that their masters,
the corporations, are taken care Of.
There are many favors which Jerry
Simpson has conferred upon his coun-
try, but not one is greater than the SER
vice he rendered upon the day he ex-
posed the corrupt jobbery by means of
which the railroad corporations steal
$25,0O0,O00 from the treasury every
year. 1t is no wonder that the postal
service of the country has difficulties
to contend with. These same railroads
have so much respect for the mail SER
vice that whenever strike is on they
put mail cars at the end of their regu-
lar trains. The government thus not
only pays an outrageous sum for carry
ing the mails. but has to order out the
army to see that they are carried at
a1-Twentieth Century.
