THE TROLLEY,s REVOLUTION.

No great war or political change ever
worked nearly so great a revolution for
the betterment of a people and the quick
ening of their ways of life as is now being
wrought throughout the middle West by
the trolley systems that are spinning their
webs in every direction. Within the cities
the change is already old, and we have
forgotten how things were when we form
erly depended on the mule cars for such
little transportation as we had within the
city. Such a thing as pleasure riding on
the street cars was then unknown, and the
pleasures of the parks were available to
those alone that could afford horses and car
riages. Moreover. the quickening of life
that came with rapid transit and the gen.
eral broadening out to larger areas and
more comfortable living have come to be
an old story in the city.
But in the smaller towns. where the troll.
ley is new and the closer connection with
the larger and buster centers of life has
but recently come, the changes are just
now working, and it is interesting to OBJ
serve their outward phases. Ride out over
any line through a section where, a couple
of years ago, there were old, implanted
houses and tumble-down fences, and YOU
will see a sprucing up in the way of new
paint and new buildings and general tidi-
ness that is astonishing. And all the little
old towns that We're formerly sleeping in
the summer sun seem to nave been gal
vanized into new life. The crossroads
store has been wiped out, but wherever
the town was large enough to lave taken
firm root as a community it has taken on
new life. The boys can live at home and
work in the city, instead OF deserving the
village to live in a city boarding house.
u the folks" find a way of making
money off their poultry and garden
truck that was formerly impossible. They
love to spend the money in Frightening I'D
the old home, trimming the hedges and
lawns, and making it look as if somebody
lived there.
No human prejudice ever disappeared so
quickly as has that of the merchant of
the smaller town who imagined that the
trolley was going to take away his BUSH
ness. He is now clamoring for all the troll
ley lines he can get.

one man. arrested in 1866, confessed that
ne had Jumped the bounty thirty-two
tunes. An official report made by an officer
VINO served in Indiana said: Hundreds,
III not thousands, of men from the British
provinces, hordes OF deserters from the
rebel army, foreigners from every country,
professional thieves, gamblers and roughs
from every city. turned in to fill quotas
and divide among them the ~greenbacks
so profusely given out from the treasury.
They prevented the army from being filled
by crowding the rolls with fictitious names.
on which many of them drew bounties a
score of times. 1t is impossible TO tell how
many men stand represented on the muster
rolls of the army of this class OF villains,
but they must be counted by tens, if not
by hundreds of thousands" This is a dark
picture, but those were dark times. Boun-
ty jumping was one of the most degrading
crimes developed by the war period. and it
was carried on to an appalling extent. The
man who after thirty-fve years has re-
turned a bounty to which he has concluded
he was not entitled may not have been a
bounty jumper, but his conscience seems
to have experienced a prolonged state of
inaction.

A slow Conscience.

"A dispatch from Washington saws the
a firm of attorneys in Philadelphia a check
for 800 with a statement that it was .the
amount of money which was paid ON tbe
10th of December. 1868, by the United States
government as additional bounty to a sol.
der" The conscience fund of the tressurv
has received many queer contributions
but it is believed this one indicates thu
slowest working conscience on record.
Thirty-ive years is a good while for a man
to mediate over the moral quality of an
action and debate with himself whether
he should make restitution of money re-
ceived under doubtful circumstance W..
sometimes read of needles working to the
surface of the body after having been
buried out of sight many years. IT took
this moral needle thirty-five years to work
itself into a position where it pricked.
The incident recalls a practice that pre-
vailed during the civil war which IL ;s ,o
be hoped the government may never have
to resort to again. viz, the policy of Offer
ing bounties to stimulate volunteeripp
This was begun by the national govern
ment in 1861 and was soon taken I'm nv
nearly all the States. An act of Congress-
of July, 1861. authorized the payment of
500 to every volunteer enlisting for three
years. In June, 1868. the War Department
authorized the payment of $500 to all VET
Grams re-enlisting for three years. or the
war. In October, 1863, the government Of
fered a bounty of $500 to new recruits en-
listing in old organizations. In July. 1854
the War Department authorities author
lied the payment of 500 to every recruit
e~nlisting for one year; of 500 for two
years recruits and $500 for three years
Under these various orders an enormous
sum was paid in bounties. In the third
year OF the war many of the States offered
bounties- Counties. cities and townships
followed the example and the bounty svs-
tenn became general. The aggregate amount
expended for local bounties in this State
amounted to SIS. 4ss. s75. Marion county paid
out N,s77.1 ss in this way and other counties
in proportion. The local bounties ranged
from $50 to 500. Some of the Eastern
States paid out much larger sums than In
diana did. AS these bounties were paid in
advance it was easy for a dishonest man
to accept the bounty and then run away
instead of enlisting. This gave rise to the
practice of bounty jumping by which
men went from one place to another ac-
cepdns the bounty. pocketing the money
and then decamping. This gave profitable
employment to a large number of scoun-
