Miller Sec'ry. ' ' r He Couldn't Sec It. From the Toledo Blade. Considerable amusement was created among some of the railroad boys, a few. days - ago. by a circumstance which oc-. curred on one of the night trains into this city.- The affair is supposed to have J?akeJ out through the porter of the sleep ing nr. A h-'y vr'u'i a little boy. aged, perMps, t uri-i ytara, v.is on n jjurney eastAard, ui taUcu a benh iu the sleeping Car. Toward morning the child awoke, and, raising up saw a loan in ihe berth where tie was bleeping, aud becom ing alarmed, called to his mother, :wbo whispered, 'be still, my chijd. it's only pit."- .The. child took another look at the stranger, a.nd then iu au excited tous ex claimed , ; -You ain't. my pa." -:, : Again the woman told the- child to keep still. The m.tu also called the boy by name and iuquired if he did not know his pa. The child replied : You ain't my pi ; he haiu't got whis kers. ... What are you here for Yes, I am your pa." No you ain't ; my pa is in Joliet', ain't he, ma ?" The woman found matters were ap proaching a crisis, and. taking hjld of the child compelled him to lie down, and the man got up. The noise had awaken ed seveial of the passengers, who cast many a sideling, contemptuous glance at the corner where the divided family were situated but they could do nothing wiih the train moving at the rate of twenty-five miles per hour. In due time the train arrived here, and the passen gers, with the exception of the "family" alluded to. changed cars, but the man . . - and woman did not leave until the car had been emptied of its cargo, 2nd iuen they sneaked off up towu to await the de parture of the day train, on which were none of their late fello v-travelers. Good Kctts from Business men and Farmers. For several years, nothing could arouse the Express Companies. The exorbitant charges and their irresponsibility, except where losses were bavy and the losers were ready and able to go to law, have produced wide spread indignation. The plundering of choice fruit has been thaineful. The catalogue ; of grievances is long. , Public meetings, speeches, res olutions, sharp newspaper articles, ' and appeal' to legislatures, did not r utile a feather. Their earnings were - enor mous, and their stock was at a vast pre mium. ' About one year ago, an opposition company was organized., 0&lr $10,000, 0C0 were required to buy them olT and things went on as before ; no they were worse. The complaint this summer in New York. Ohio and. the whole West were sj grevous, aiuL apparently so far from hope of rr med) , that they approach ed despair. . Farmers, frui; growers and shippers ge&erally, ;. tvere deprived of much of that part of . thir. . earnings which should have, been their profits. T&e best informed and most comprehen sive minds aw that, unless they were checked they weald abssrb to ihu:i?lu much of the( welth of th 'country A full nccount of the magnitude of their op erations, of their extent of their' pjtrtr and the oppressions they inflictti, vrouli astonish. " ' " ' . i ' a They have had 'fulIpUy. Thira wu no king, dictator, or law to oppress tien. A short' tiinV ago,' the Merchant's Union' EJp Cor.ipany as organized," with the ceotral idea of no: being bought out ; thought that was the best buiiatia going, exc;pt not .beipg bought eat. At last, the old Compmies were aroassd. A rival was mounting their golden throse. A "Secret Circular" was issued. Their agents were instructed to carry freight at such rates as was supposed would dt prive the Company of business. .. Ne limit was fixed to the deduction. thtt might be made. None, could corapliia ot this. ; But when they add, they j will receive no freight from the Marcttat'a Union nor ship to it, nor indeed. d any business with it whatever, they are, get ting ahead of the times.. It is the tains as to say they will carry no strawberries fur Johu Smuhr because :hey do not like htm. For the same reason a captain er a conductor might reject a passecjer. But they. go further. .VOu? routes;' where there is no competition, old rataa are te remain. They hare been charged with being mcnopolies ; this Secret Circular has served the public by provfag it; - So far, the new compauy i prospereai.
