NEGOTIATING ON THE WABASH.
Poll of the Orders Ordered on the Orig
inaI Demand for More Paw.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 1S.-As a re-
suit of the inability of President Ram
Sey and the committees Of the Wabash
trainmen and conductors to come to
terms, a poll has been ordered by the
officers of the orders on the original
demand made by the committees on
the Wabash officials for an increase of
15 per cent to all freight conductors
and trainmen and II per cent to the
passenger conductors and trainmen.
The order for the poll was issued to-
night after conference between Pres
ident Ramsey and the Wabash super
intendents and the committees. At the
conference the committees offered a
compromise on the original demand
that the increase asked should apply
only to trainmen and conductors en-
ployed on the Wabash lines west Of a
line drawn from Chicago to DanVille,
ILL.,, excluding about 600 miles of the
system. This proposition was refused
by President Ramsey, and he was then
notified that a poll would be taken on
the demand for the original schedule
to apply to the entire system, exclu-
sive of the Canadian line.
President Ramsey, it is said, refused
on the ground that the Wabash lines in
Illinois were not and should not be in
cluded in the Western division of the
road, and that the same wages should
Apply 10 IleIH DIS TO the EASTERN lines.
He stated that the Wabash had met
and exceeded the advance made by the
competing lines in the East and he was
willing to consider proposition for an
advance in the wage schedule of the
lines west Of the Mississippi to meet
the advance granted by other South
western lines centering in st. Louis.
1t is stated tonight that unless there
is an adjustment Of the matter a strike
will be ordered, as 1T is believed the
trainmen and conductors on the sys-
tenn will indorse the original demand.

MY TRIP WITH "FATAER.n

I was out, you know, with father on the

No doubt you think the trip had was

When stop here to appriSe you
That the fun We had was his instead Of
mine.
On the day I got his notice that we'd go
! strutted like a peacock at show,
And of course it swelIed my head
When his memo first I read,
Just to think Of how I'd tell them what l
know.
I spent the most my time in getting data;
i posted on divisions per prOrata,
learned all the routes and rates
In the whole United States,
And could answer any question on the
mattah.
I filed my head chock full of information,
Could give the time of trains at every
station,
Had my schedules all on file,
And my rate sheets ranged in style,
And knew everything to which they had
relation.
I expected to be heard at that convention
To take leading part in each contention
But we'd only fairly started
When the fact to me impaired
was that father had a different inten-
ton.
Says he: Now Bill, you pay me strict
From now until I'm through with that
convention;
| shall use you on the trip
Just to lug along my grip
And do other things too numerous to
mention.
I carried his umbrella in the rain:
l waited at his elbow on the train;
And whene'er he went to bed
Fixed the pillow for his head
Kept the dust and steam from off his
window pane.
He clearly showed me that I wasn't in it.
He Kept me on the hustle every minute;
l procured the morning news.
Brushed his clothes and BACKED his
shoes,
Not only tied his tie, but had to pin it.
had thought. of course, I'd show him all
the sights;
I'd take him to the ball games and the
fights;
And upon our little cruise
would blow him in for BOOZE
But he did not seem to recognize nv
rights.
Instead we went to nothing but the meet
ing;
He'd hardly spend the money for our eat
ing:
The bill for my expenses
He cut off where 1t commences.
SO had no opportunity for beating
tell you now I'm done with such an
outing.
I'd rather figure rates and dates and rout-
ing;
And I've made this one notation.
When I'm offered a vacation,

PENSION CORRUPTION.

In the spanish-American war in
Cuba a total OF 243 we're killed on our
side. including those who died from
wounds
Only about 10000 soldiers in all
vent 70 the scene of brief conflict.
Yet 1900 claims for pensions have
already been allowed AMI more than
GO.OOO applications have been filed
II Is already clear that the pen
sions for this little war will cost more
than the war itself. for. while the war
was soon over. the pensions will drag
on for years and years.
Civil war pensioners. forty years
after the war, are about as numerous
as they ever we're. Cuban veterans
Iromise even longer lease Of life.
for they were picked young men. Fifty
years from now II will be no uncors
mon thing. perhaps. for the govern
ment to pay Spanish war pensions 70
dependent widows Who are not yet
born.
It is utterly impossible, OF course.
that 10000 OF the men who enlisted
in the Spanish war. and only 10000
OF whom ever got to the front, should
have been sufficiently disabled as 70
justify their demand for pensions.
The thing IS becoming a scandal
that seriously reflects upon the pa.
triotism and honesty OF the men
whom the nation would like 10 regard
as ideal citizens II is bad enough
to know that the government is de.
frauded. but Is worse still to know
that soldiers who might have fought
brayely, had the opportunity beeh
offered, can stoop to such palpable
attempt at fraud.
The fault is no doubt mostly In the
pension department The granting OF
one false claim breeds many other
false claims. The ease with which a
fraudulent pension can be secured
encourages men to put in claims they
would have no thought Of Offering II
sure to be subjected to close and
honest scrutiny.
There is a seduction about a pen
sion hard 10 be resisted. And the
looseness OF the pension department
Is corrupting into sneaks and perjur-
ers many who might otherwise be re- /
garded as the best men in the ma
ton.
II "a a fraud that should have laid
upon Il the heavy hand.
