there Is no harm whatever in beating

pany out OF its legitimate fare.
we doubt not that there are many such
people In Richmond. They ride on the
street cars from day to day. and IL they
can dodge the conductor they seem to
feel no compuncton whatever in riding
free. They seem to think that 1t Is the
conductors business to collect fare, and
that If he does not demand his fare 1t
Is not the duty Of the passengers to pay.
But all that is mere quibbling. 1t Is
as much mans duty to pay his fare
on a railroad train or on street rail-
way car as 1t is to pay for bill of goods
which he has purchased. AS well say
that 1t is honest for, a man to walk out
OF a store with bundle OF goods which
he has not paid for because the clerk
forgot to ask for the money. No matter
how one looks at It, 1t Is a species OF
dishonesty, and dishonesty cannot be de-
Tended upon any plea whatsoever. When
man boards public vehicle he puts
himself under an obligation to pay his
fare. and when the conductor overlooks

A WORD ABOUT HONESTY.

One of our Virginia contemporaries
tells an interesting story concerning a
man who had succeeded frequently in
beating the railroad companies.
Tie said that whenever he wanted to
go to a certain point he would purchase
a ticket for the first station outside Of
the town from which he was travelling
Between the town and the station the
conductor would of course. collecr his
ticket, but as he was not going TO any
Important place at distance the condo
tor would not give him a slip, AS soon
as the conductor got away the stranger
would take one OF the slips which he had
IN his pocket and stick 1t In his hat. and
when the conductor passed through the
car again he would naturally think that
the man had given up a ticket 10 the placs
for which the slip was intended, The
stranger would take careful note of the
necessary color. and he was always on
the safe side in this particular. The
stranger said that he was regular
travelling man and that he saved great
deal Of money In the course OF a year by
adopting such method, He did not seem
to think that hoy was doing anything
wrong. and II maybe supposed that he
took the view that y beat a railroad or
the government Is nN crime
We suppose this man felt that he was
doing no wrong. elSe he would hardly
have told the story an himself We Gun

AFTER THE STORM.

Now that the storm In Wall Street has
cleared up, men who seemed to think
little While ago that the whole country
was about to go to smash are seeing
with a clearer vision There are some
unfavorable conditions. but when the
people OF a great country like ours are
at work the country can go along for
some time by It's own momentum, and 1t
is impossible to bring prosperity to a
sudden end, In point of fact. the Wall
Street storm has been Of benefit In some
respects to the general business of the
country, for 1t has without disaster,
brought stocks down TO fair level of
value, and put stop to wild syndicate
operations. 1t has also had the effect to
make spectators very much more con-
servative, and the lesson has not been
In vain.
