by this editor that he. as ice-President,

SUf We HAVE A GktENAEtR.

The Press and BANNER believes in letting
the Just censure attend the true event,
While we disagree In toto with all that the
Daily Mall sayH, yet we believe Inc punllc
has a grievance from the railroads. This
grievance does not come f'om the men In the
passenger department, or the traffic depart
meDt, but from the fact that general officers,
Who are themselves always polite. permit Oh
flcers OF the construction to treat the pnolic,
to say tue least, with scapt civility, and, 80 TO
speak, they sometimes may come too near TO
an exhibit OF lording It over people who have
business to transact with the road. We as
sumo that this lack OF oivility Is perhaps due
TO the fact that the higher officers, who are
cultured, and observe the amenities and
courtesles that are current among gentlemen,
do not look more carefully into the cores
pondence by their uudeIltngs. A good track
builder nay become a good bridge builder
and a good bridge builder may be elevated so
high that he becomes Inflated with some Idea
of bis own importance In the exercise OF a
little brief authority.
Nobody has a right TO be Offended because a
railroad official does not grant a favor. but
every gentleman has q right TO feel Indignant
| at q lack OF proper respect from anybody.
The public may take up the idea that a sub
ordinate office sometimes feels that he owns
the road, and then the public may feel that
the subordinate officer Ia deficient in civility.
The testimony OF the editor OF the Pres
and Banner would DO that the general officers
Of the Southern are always polite, and never
rub the hair the wrong way" no matter
whether they grant or refuse request. They
may refuse s.request 30 nicely that a man for
gets his disappointment. but We would like
TO receive a postal card from those OF our fel-
low citizens who have received the same III
OF attention from subordinate officers.
The testimony Of this editor woul1 be that
he belle yes the great opposition to the rail-
roads comes, not from lack OF service, but az a
result Of correspondence with railroad folk
on matters where clvility at least should
govern.
To the correspondence OF subordinate Of
hcers. we believe may be attributed In a large
measure, the exorbitant and unreasonable
verdicts in damage suits against the rail-
roads.
When reference Is had to Objectionable cor
r~espondence, we refer as much 10 the Sea
boards subordinates as to those OF the
Southern.
