We take tho liberty Of supposing that

not have hesitated to grant tho favor.
Not that the railroads, or other corpora

instrument of divine wrath, scourge
and destroyer TO be propitiated at any

and the corporations are in great part
made UP of human attributes and are

these three illustrious personages be-

imposed but unacceptable necessity Of
wrecking and annihilating the railroads
and other corporations, would they re-
verse their attitude and demand that
they be served without limit or stint
free, gratis, for nothing?

The Bane of Perquisitcs.

Perausites have been the downfall
Of many a great man MARLBoRoUGH's
proclivity for them sorely embarrassed
his later years, and WALPoLE made HIM
self lot of worry out Of them. There
was a time when perquisites seemed to
have gone out of fashion, when men in
high position eschewed them as a matter
of delicacy, or of honor, and contented
themselves with that which was for
mally theirs. But for q long time they
worked havoc with great figures OF
army, navy and State, and the great
Lord VERuLAM himself would sadly
confess their baleful bent
Mr.. SAMUEL PARKS will doubtless
have revised his views about perquisltes
by the time that Mr. ", T. JEROME has
done with him. Mr.. PARKS was in his
time the most ilustrious OF walking
delegates. the most brilliant and ire
sistible executive that his order ever
produced. Pcrquisites were his undo
ing. In his restricted field he did more
than any man before him to flay the
capitalist and ruin the employer. There
is no knowing TO what heights Mr.. PARKS
might have attained but for his weak
ness in the matter Of perquisites
Perquisitcs are the by-products OF
office. Tips are the perqulsltes of walters,
servants and the like, the emouments OF
employment over and above its settled
wages. Some perquisites are admittedly
legitimate, but all of them are danger
Gus, because this Legitimacy is strangely
difficult to define. This comprehends
all of the cmbarrassments that attended
the late career of Mr. PARKS. He served
his union well, He kept its members
out of work longer than any other walk
ing delegate had been able TO. For such
little time as he allowed them to work,
they received higher wages than they
had ever had before. That their fami-
lies were in want that debts multiplied
upon them, that their savings, if they
had any, were exhausted, all mattered
nothing Had they not before them the
spectacle of the humbled employer and
the ruined contractor and the unfinished,
abandoned structure, monument to the
genius OF PARKS? But PARKS was not
content with his salary and he reached
out after perquisites. When strike was
desired upon the work Of another con-
tractor, PARKS demanded perquisite
for declaring it and calling the men out.
When an employer was weary OF his
mems idleness and saw ruin staring him
in the face, PARKS would call the strike
off-for perquisite. 1t seems modest
calling, but there is no doubt it paid very
we'll PARKS is believed to be rich.
The ruin and the disgrace that he has
brought upon his union count for little
with its members. The consequences
are maddening to their impoverished
and unhappy families, but they have
voted to pay PARKS his full salary while
he is in Jail, where there are no per-
quisites.
Whenever perquisites have become
the object of scrutiny they have entailed
unfortunate consequences upon those
who sought to enjoy them. History is
full of the most painful instances; and
some Of these instances have been de-
plorable, since great and otherwise noble
characters were fatally besmirched by
them. Perquisites have dragged men
down who otherwise would have scared
to the Empyrean.
