The big Republican planners, who
have been figuring on q more extend
ed plan of fleeing the public, and the
Lord knows they have bad things
pretty strong on this line for q time,
have been caucusing lately to devise
a finance bill to offer to the next ses-
sion Of Congress. Senators Aldrich,
Allison, Spooner and Platt were last
week in Hot Spring, Virginia, and dis
cussed various features to be intro
duced in the proposed bill. The
whole trend of the Republican mind
is that the present plan of issuing cur
rency on the deposit Of interest bear
ing bonds, must endure, and lest the
day may come with no Government
bonds, which are now the only kind
acceptable, it is proposed to extend
the law to cover state, county and
railroad bonds. Ordinarily the ac-
ceptance Of state and county bonds
might be considered, bat when the
law is extended to include the bonds
Of railroads and other corporate
bodies, it begins to suggest that the
bars are to be thrown open for some
pretty high handed business. By this
suggestion 1t lie not intended to imply
that all railroads are high handed
spectators, but the fact remains that
there are g sufficient number Of such
companies which seem TO have nc
other idea than that their properties
are held especially for the purpose Of
bonding them, and when the govern
ment steps in and undertakes to assist
such spectators in floating theil
bonds, look out for q squall. 1t may
be that the people Of this country.

To orr Patrons and the Public
The Mobile and Ohio Railroad Com
pany regrets to state that certain Of Its
conductors, who were members of a
Conductors Organization, and certain
of its brakemen, who are members Of
the Brotherhood Of Railway Trainmen,
have, without notice to the management
as to time or date, left the service Of
this Company today giving their rea-
son therefor as follows:
LIST. That no train Of rel 80 cars,
loaded or empty shall be run with two
engines, without double pay, and dou-
BILE overtime, has been declined.
2nd. That the percentage OF in
crease Of pay as demanded by them has
been declined.
The management separately met
Committees of Engineer and Fremen
in February and March, and after dis
cussion, amicably agreed on rules Of ser
vice, and a percentage Of increase OF
pay, satisfactory to the Engineers and
Fireman and to the Company, no rule
of management entering into the con-
ferences.
Rules Of service and rates Of pay for
overtime were mutually agreed upon BY
this Company and 8 Commattee repre-
senting the Conductors and BrakemenI
but the company denied the right of the
employees to dictate a rule for the man
agement Of its property and believing
that the percentage Of increase demand
ed by these employees was unreasonable
likewise declined 1t.
Since April 1st. the conductors and
brakemen in service on the same trains
with the engineers and dremen are
offered and now being paid the same
