the women of all lands. All over the
kingdom Of Holland plans were being
made for celebrating their centenary
Of freedom from French domination.

given any recognition. AS conse-

most telling exposition of the evo-

KILLING TIE GOOSE.

@ UGGESTlON that the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
- pany purposes cutting Off all free transportation,
now enjoyed by the families Of railroad has
caused profound stir n railroad circles. particular
" among tho womenfolk who delight in the possession
of annual and trip passes And yet there abuses
Of the pass privilege that would seem indicate that
the company must do something for its protection
against habitual and commercial of such free
transportation.
In discussing the free pass abuse, Official of the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad informed yesterday that the
books Of the company here show that in November
last the wife of a railroad man. resident in Whining
ton used her pass 1os times between this city and
Philadelphia. A quiet investigation by the company
revealed it said that this wife of a railroad man
sion basis with the annual pass for its foundation
at both ends Of the line she was engaged in doing
shopping in Philadelphia for wilminetonans who were
too busy TO there THEMSELVES and in pursuit of bar
gains for her customers, using her free pass
often two three times day. In addition. she
had the other purchasing agents in town at dsad-
vantage because Of her free transportation and was
carrying to Philadelphia much money that otherwise
would have been spent with our local merchants.
That of course, Is extreme case Of pass abuse
There have been thousands upon thousands Of les.
aggravated cases. all calculated to bring the free pass
system into disrepute. In other words, such abuser
of the pass privileges have been killing the goose
laid the golden egg and the unfortunate thing about
all is that they have been killing it only them
selves also for that much greater number OF rail
road mems wives who have not abused the free
portation privilege.

Mr.. DOLE REPLIES
TO CHARGES OF
MR.. REINHARDT

To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir: ] would say word in reply
to Senator Reinhardt's reference to
my relations to the charter defeated
by the vote Of the people, lest silence
might be construed by some as aeon
cessior of Senator Reinhardts in
tcrpetation of my acts.
= Senator Reinhardt Is mistaken as
TO my reason for opposing that char
ter. The chief reason for my opposi-
tion to II was that it thrice removed
frcm the reach of the people -respon-
sibility tor good government Another
reason was that the charter was too
complex for the times, and was a step
backwards. l am an earnest advo-
cate OF the referendum, but / would
have opposed that charter if II had
included the referendum, because un-
der section s, the referendum could
not abolish the charter and institute
a commission form of government.
II Senator Reinhardt will think
carefully. he will come to the con-
clnsicn that the charter was defeated
not because of the ignorance Of the
PEOPLE, but for several reasons, which
may be summarized as the delegation
of too great power to a few over
whom the people would have no CON
troll
TO me the defeat OF that charter
proves that the people do want a
charter. and are intelligent enough to
guard their rights. The attainment
of good government is now desired
by vast majority of the people We
Ndo not get il because ii is blocked
IN the Senate by representatives of
selfish interests.
Senator Reinhardt says that the
people of Wilmington do not want a
new charter, "That they don't know
enough to want a new charter" The
disproof of this is very simple: LET
THE CHARTER PREPARED BY
THE REFERENDUM LEAGUE COME
BEFORE THE PEOPLE If the SEN
ate actually believed that the people
do not want a new charter, and are
too ignorant to vote for one, why did
IL withhold from the people their in
alienable right to express their wishes
as TO the charter prepared by the
Referendum League?
Respectfully.

ooNaTuNAL cHRIs-MAs TREES.

ID ALTfMoRE and other wide-awake and generous
40 hearted cities to have communal Christmas
trees for the purpose of bringing Ypetide cheer to
poor children The Baltimore plan is especially elab
crate. 1t is that mammoth tree shall be erected in
Of the principal public squares; that shall be
illuminated and decorated handsomely and loaded with
gifts that there shall be instrumental and vocal
music beneath 1t Christmas eve and Christmas
morning and that a systematic distribution of the
gifts shall follow
The nearest approach to that sort OF thing we have
had here Wilmington has been the police Christmas
tree in the police station in City Hall years gone
by it has given much JOY TO thousands Of poor chill

bors Of the police force and voluntary assist

our citizens
Two or three years ago the interest Of the police
in the tree seemed to diminish, quarters
fear was expressed that the tme-honored tree
would be abandoned At that critical juncture a
wealthy and publcsprited lawyer to the rescue
With the understanding his should not be

There is n suggestion that large communal
tree be erected N Court House Square this Christmas
to the place of the police station tree. We un-
derstand that the $500 Of the lawyer viii be as avail
able that It has in the past for the police

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
General LOgan's FOur-Day
Speech
By Holland.

When it was announced that Gener-
al John A. Logan, Senator from Him
ois, would oppose the resolution be-
fore the Senate authorizing the re-
opening of the case Of General Fitz-
john Porter everybody in Washington
who was familiar with the views of
General Logan held upon the appro-
priateness Of the conviction of Cen
eral Porter by court-martiaI and the
sentence Of him by the same author
ity to be shot was convinced that
General Logan would make a speech
well worth hearing. But for the in
terposition Of Abraham Lincoln, Cen
eral Porter would have been shot by
sentence Of the court-martial upon
his conviction of charges of treachery
and disloyalty to General Pope in the
second battle OF Bull run.
General Porter's friends always in
sisted that he had been uhjustly
treated and that there was abundant
evidence to show that he was not
guilty Of the charges preferred
against him. / met General Porter
in 1878 and had an hours converse
ton with him. / realized that he
was then suffering keeniy from what
he believed to be an unfair and un-
just trial and conviction. His friends
introduced a resolution into the Sen
ate calling for the reopening of the
case. Subsequently General Grant
published an article in which he
stated that a careful reading of the
evidence satisfied him that General
Porter had been improperly convict
ed and was not guilty of the charge
of treachery and disloyalty to his
commanding officer. Everyone recog-
nized the moral herOism which char
acterized General Grants action.
Even General Logan referred to Gem
eral Grants article as a perfect dem
onstration of the nobility of char
acter and the moral courage which
were, in his opinion. chief among the
great qualities of General Grant
General Logans statements were all
the more effective in view Of the fact
that he did not agree with General
/ Grant
The galleries Of the Senate chamber
were packed when General Logan
began his speech in opposition to the
resolution. He was himself a mag
nificent physical type OF sturdy, some
what rough and unconventional
American citizen. Mrs. Logan sat in
the gallery watching him attentively
He occupied the centre aisle almost
all Of the time, going back OCCASION
ally from the aisle to his desk to con-
suit his notes and memoranda.
For four days General Logan oc-
supied the floor of the Senate. AT
the end of the fourth day only those
who were near him on the floor of the
Senate realized that he was on the
verge Of exhaustion. He had made
what, up to that time, was the longest
speech ever delivered in the Senate.
He spoke entirely ex tempore. refer

SAYS WHIPPING POST
Is CLASS PUNISHMENT

70 the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL
Sir: In the letter of w. c. Dizer, OF
this city, in defense of the whipping
post, he says. "The majority of Della
wareans indorse the whipping post
for certain classes of criminals" Is
this not a confession that the whip
ping post is, in the nature of things,
not to be used upon all classes alike?
That 1t is a class punishment2 And
this Is the strongestiHgument against
Il. No rich man was ever whipped

I bank from the loutside--the burglar
Is whipped. The man who loots il

cashier. Is not The man who steals
a chicken is whipped the man who
rents a building for vice or steals a
political job by illegal vote buying Is
not. The man who commits a petty
crime While under the influence Of
cheap rum is whipped; the man who
makes and sells it is not. Ii the
laws did not favor any class, but ali
guilty Of theft in any form or of any
sum. we're whipped, the law would be
repealed at the first opportunity.
When visitors are Witnessing a whip

as to the matter, the torture is often
horrible. II IS a strong argument
against il that it depends not upon
the order of the judge, but upon the
disposition of the man doing the
torturing. whether the pain shall be
great or little. The whippings dc
