must make them feel ashamed Of them
selves.
We are prepared to believe that,
as Mr.. Mellen asserts, some legislators
have sold their passes to ticket brokers
or turned them over to other persons. We
are reliably informed that in certain dis
tricts and states between here and the
Pacific coast there are members Of 1egis-
latures, or have been, whose chief motive
in seeking the office was to get the an
to the office, for private business use.
The acceptance Of a pass by member
of legislature under such conditions is
utterly inexcusable, though human nature
is not to be supposed to be strong enough
to resist the temptation to" use for any
journey little piece Of pasteboard con-
veniently at hand that is just as magical
only way in which q public man can JUS
tify to himself or the public the accept
ance Of free railway transportation given
in recognition of his office is on the
ground Of facilitation Of public business;
on which Mr. Mellen puts it, though even
that ground is very shaky. When he uses
it mainly for private business, and is so
-er ,cfo he
should be punished by the severest kind
of punishment to him, which is the with
drawal of the privilege. - :.....
President Mellen's course in speaking so
plainly, and in daring to limit the passes
to the actual session, goes a long way
to prove that the Northern Pacific at
least had no Interior motives in giving
passes to legislators. If it had the presi-
dent would hardly dare to speak with
such commendable candor, candor that
will doubtless turn against his corporation
a few 2x4 legislators. The Northern Pa
cifc evidently regarded the passes as
courtesies extended without an itch for
return favors, and finding those courtesies
abused, has withdrawn them.
Now that President Mellen has publicly
,netaphorically slapped the pass. hunting
Legislators 1.-The, face, it is about time
for some member who is properly con-
scious Of the improperly Of the accept
ance of these gifts from the railroad COM
panies by members Of the legislature, to
come forward with an anti-pass bill and
make repetition of this discreditable bust
ness impossible. This state pays the
mileage of the members two or three
times over and that ought to be enough.
1t is understood that some members have
always declined these courtesies.

this week past Mrs. Mcguire thought,
and turned with a sudden determination
to speak to him.
Even as she did SO he staggered and sat
down weakly. One hand went out, and
grasping a newspaper which lay near held
it before his face. Above it his eyes were
fixed in a hungry gaze. Mrs. Mcguire
knew that his search was ended.
She turned slowly, following the direc
ton of his eyes, and noticed for the first
time a small, pale woman sitting with
her profile toward the door. The brown
hair which lay softly on her temples was
plentifully streaked with gray. Her blue
eyes held the brightness of unshed tears.
The<h hands which held a shabby grip sack
on her lap clutched it as if it were some

The general public demand that the tar
the present serious shortage in the coal
supply has kept the defenders Of the in
volatility of the tariff schedules awake
nights. Their CONSERVATION is anus
ing and significant. 1t is amusing from
the f1utter of apprehension which it has
created among the must-not-touch- the
tariff crowd, and the numerous and in
genious devices brought forward by them
to avoid the necessity of permanent alb
clifton Of the coal tariff. They have Of :
fered to take the tariff off for ninety
days; they propose that it be limited to
year; they suggest that the treasury
department be instructed to rebate duties
on coal to importers for a year-anything
and everything, apparently. to avoid the
adoption Of a permanent policy OF free
coal as a remedy for the coal monopoly.
But what good is all this going to do
the high tariff people, who insist that the
tariff must not be touched and that it
never has anything to do with aiding
trusts? They may spread thei rcoat tails
as much as they please and bunch them
selves In front of the coal tariff in the
hope of concealing from the public sight
the fact that removal Of the coal duty
would offer a measure of relief. They
mag hope to escape the natural reasoning
and conclusion on the part Of the public
that if the abolition Of the coal duty has
a tendency to bring that monopoly to its
senses, possibly the reduction Of some
other duties would be helpful as to other
items Of consumption, but they will be
!sjust about as successful as4the proverbial
ostrich; and their activity in bringing for
ward substitutes for the permanent abofi-
ton of the coal duty is calculated to pro-
! duce a broad smile extending from Maine
to Southern California The substitute
business is too thin.
