of completing the proposition which

broached the proposition to send a suf.

tween the armed guards of the coal
companies operating the lower end OF

ABOLlSHEDPASSES
BUT REVENUE OF THE ROAD WAS
NOT INCREASED TEN DOL
LARs-PEoPtE auiT
TRAVELLING.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-The
abolition of the free pass has not in.
creased the receipts of the railroads
enough for their auditors to detect it.
If the experience of sll is the same as
that of one of the big railway systems
of the country, whose general passen.
ger agent was in Washington trans
acting a, little business with the inter
state commerce commission. His rail-
road used to be extremely liberal with
passes and half fares.
"But the changes haven't made the
least difference with u.s." said this
general passenger agent. "our rc.
ceipts from passenger traffic have not
increased, and 1 don't believe the au-
ditor's books will show that we have
made SO by stopping passes. OF
course don't know about other roads,
but so far as l have heard that is the
general experience.
"Hop do account for it? Simply
by the fact that a great many-In fact
most-of those who used to travel on
free transportation now stay at horne.
They QUIT travelling when they ceased
to receive passes. That's all there IS
to 1t.
at all shows that we haven't made
anything by the stoppage of passes
and it didn't cost us anything to give
them. We have not been able to re.
duce travelling accommodations, run
fewer trains or fewes cars on those we
run. The expense is Just the same
but we carry fewer passengers-those
who used to ride feee."

DAVIS FOR
PRESIDENT
THE WASHINGTON STAR sue.
eEsTs HON. HENRY c. DAVIS
FOR NOMINATION BY
DEMOCRATS.

The Praise bestowed by Henry G.
Davis on Judge George Gray is S.
well deserved everybody may say
amen. In every way. as citizen, sena
tor AMI jurist. the Delaware man has
established claims to respect, and
even admiration. That he would
serve in the Office of President with
an eye single to the good Of the coun.
Try is certain.
But we may praise Mr.. Davis him
self quite as highly. he too is an ex
cellent citizen. His work In tae Sen,
ate was noteworthy. He has been
tower of strength in the develop
ment OF his State. Much Of what West
Virginia is, and promises to become
she owes to him. Men of his type
have done wonders for this country,
Why not. then, Mr.. Davis, for Demo
cratic leader next year?
What is he has passed the eighty
mark? Who would think 1t to see
him as he appears in this town, as.
tride OF a supple nag. erect as man
OF fifty, and enjoying the exercise?
His years are as yet no burden. He
could meet and dispose of the crowds
at the White House with no great
trouble.
He is a corporation man, but as
such has been useful. He began at
the bottom of the ladder, and so knows
conditions from bostom to top. He
has for years been a large employer
Of labor. but never labor's oppressor.
His men trust him. He is rich, but
rests uuder no censure because of It
His meme is not on the plutocratic
black list.
His views about money are sound
naturally. He knows too much abost
the subject TO follow yisionaries. He
Is properly to be classed as protec.
ZIONIST, as Mr.. Randall and Mr.. Ger.
man and Mr.. whitney were. He knows
too much about that subject to be a
clamorer for the destruction OF the
customs houses and the establishment
of free trade. He sees the necessity
of applying business principles to the
administration of the government.
But this sturdy equipment for pub
lie Office does not make Mr.. Davis q
presidential quantity at this time,
any more than 1t makes Judge Gray.
Their party is headed in another cl-
rection-is following man who knows
far les about the law than Judge
Gray, and nothing at all about busi.
ness us compared with Mr.. Davis. Mr..
Bryan could sit at the feet of eth
er, or Of both, and learn. But he is
the darling of his party, and able to
master ten thousand followers to
their enc. In the language of Mr..
Cleveland. it is a condition and not a
theory that confronts the Democracy;
and M Bryan, having produced the
condItor, is still master of the situa.
Star.

act IN the interests Of economy and pare down
appropriations. going TO give TO every
body and everything, and bond the state TO pay
the biilsE" asked DR.. Higgins of Coventry, in
the House this afternoon He mentioned the
appropriation Of S1,o00000 for state roads $780,
900 for the Norwich Insane Hospital and varl-
Gus other appropriations asked for this session.
which, he said aggregated S5.OO0,OO0. He said
that IL these were made the state expenses would
exceed the revenue for the next two years by
more than S1,00O000. He was opposed to bond
ing the state, and hoped that the Legislature
would support the Governor and practise wise
economy.
His plea was somewhat weakened by humor-
Gus remarks about the resolution he was dis
cussing. which called for an annual tax on
bachelors a means OF raising the possible
deficit The resolution did not create the mer-
riment he had evidently expected. He raised a
laugh, however. when he said he had provided
that bachelors over forty-one years old, instead
Of over forty, be chloroformed, because Speaker
Tilson was forty-one, and wished TO serve out
his term without its being marred by either a
marriage a funeral in which he was the chief
participant"
