A Trip to Dixie Land,
the Crops and the
Jim Crow"
Cars.

On the 14th ult. we went from
here to Mississippi, the heart of
the South, the home state of Jeff
Davis, and where the slave oil
garchy Was most formidable
This state was also the home of
James George. Senator, E. c.
Walthall, L. G. Lamar and other
eminent Southern men, whe i'm
mediately after the war, laid the
foundation, and planted deep,
the doctrine that white is uper-
ior to black and that by all means
white people should not do their
own cooking or washing and that
colored people M asst be called
John, Jim or Jack, but white peo
pie. Mister or "boss" by the col.
ored people That doctrine, we
are sorry to say, prevails mostly
yet. 1t is no harm to call people
Mister, but a colered man is just
as deserving of being called Mr.
as any other man
The old slave habit of calling
aged co o ed people Auntie or
Uncle is yet prevalent in the
South. Educated Negroes have
quit saying "boss' however; but
it is crime not to call white
man Mister and almost crime
for white man to call a colored
man Mister Yet a few may do
do SO. Mississippi, be it also re-
membered, is the home of the
abIest Negroes this country has
produced. B K. Bruce came
from there, elected u. S. Senator
Hiram r. Revels. Senator sue
ceeding Jeff Davis, Jno. r. Lynch
Congressman James Hill. Inter
nal revenue collector, Postmaster
at Vlcksburg, under Harrison
and others. This is also the
state of Vardaman and John
Sharp Williams. This state has
more Negro banks than any 9TH
er state. Also the largest Ne
gro population, there are 900,-
900 Negroes and 600, 900 white
people and the colored people
have no representation in the leg
islature. They have the worst
railroad services, and at times
treated indecently. Why, simply
because they are ignorant as a
whole and poor.

only 10 per cent. the difference will be
entirely made up. If travel does not
increase, there is another considera-
ton which we think should be taken
into account the fact that when the
road was established it was granted
by the State a special tax rebate of 95
per cent. Of all the taxes due the State.
| do not criticise the wisdom of that
act But the fact is that that legisla-
ton would not have been needed. The
road has paid from the start, and we
feel the fact that they do possess that
rebate is some reason why they should
consider this proposition to return to
the people a portion of that rebate in
this way. The only serious objection
in my opinion TO this bill is one in
which those interested in other roads
unite, that is the objection that all
railroads have to any legislation what
ever i'll regard to rates. They done
want anything done in any way which
intcrfercS with the rates on railroads.
The only question for us is whether the
proposition in itself is fair and just
Now what are the reasons for ask
ing for this change? First, the people
of Aroostook county want it. Second.
the present method discriminates
against the very class of people who
can least afford to be Disseminated
against. If the road cannot afford to
carry passengers for two cents, that ia
one thing; but l see no reason why
they should carry 20 per cent. Of their
passengers for two cents and cannot
afford to carry the rest for two cents,
Third, this present method diScrimf-
mates against the honest man. Not a
train moves on that road on which at
least one person does not ride who is
travelling on a two-cent mileage OH
which he has no right to travel. | hope
this matter may be decided simply
and solely on the merits of the case
and as a public matter; and If you
think this proposition is fair and that
the people of Aroostook are entitled to
it | ask you to vote for the substitu-
ton of the bill for the report.
Mr.. HALL of Dover-As a member
of the railroad committee I want to
say word in regard to our unanimous
report against this bill. This road.

labored under great disadvantages In

From the railroad commissioners re-
port | have the average cost i'll cents
per mile that is said now to the road
for transportation. That is PAS cents
per mile. That is the average cost
now. That is made up largely Of three
elements, transportation on the two
cent mileage books. on the 500-milc
books. ana on local tickets. which
average between four and five cents.
[ think il is fair to assume that 20
per cent. Of the transportation is on
the tWo-cent mileage, IL per cent. on
the two and quarters cent mill
cage, and Is per cent. on the local
tickets. This cannot be far from
right.
1t is argued by counsel for the road
that the proposed change would cost
the road 100000. That statement has
been sent out. TO reach those figures
they assume that the change would
mean that everybody thereafter would
travel at the tWO-ccnt rate. They as
sumo that no increase Of travel would
result from the change. 1t is evident
that neither of those things will hap
pen. SO it is not fair to figure that
that whole difference viii result. Coun-
sci argued that under a transferable
two mileage the rate on the Ban
gOr and AroostOok would be the same
as on the Maine Central But the To-
cal tickets on the Maine Central are
very much less in price than on the
Bangor and ArOOstook. and wherever
the Maine Central finds competition
with electric roads it sells transpor-
tation for about one cent per mile. and
that brings down the rate very large
ly; and the Maine Central, particular
~ through the summer season, has an
enormous excursion business where
tickets are sold from one cent to a cent
and half a mile. and that immense
amount of business brings down the
average very much.
| think it is fair to assume that if
this change should be made 80 per
cent. Of the people who travel on the
Bangor and ArOostook Railroad would
travel on Il tWO-ccnt mileage and 10
per cent. on local tickets. If so, the
average rate upon the Bangor and
Aroostook would be two and a quar-
ter cents per mile instead Of
PAS, and the difference then in
stead of 100000 would be only
about $4,000. And that is on
the assumption that travel would not
increase at all. But I believe that
travel will increase, ana if it increases
