Pay Their Way. , Our fellow passenger with 'the annual, term or trip pass who travels 2.000,000.000 miles a year, using transportation which, if bought at regular rates, would cost $40,000,000 annually,' will shortly become a memory. ' The time is coming wUea the nly persons holding free transportation will be officials and employes traveling on their own company's lines. Indeed, some presidents seriously propose to discontinue all passes, even annuals to themselves. As President Btuyvesant Fish of ths Illinois Central has said: "Ths pass Is the only . of arettins value out of the treasury ef a railroad company without leaving a voucher." Certain It Is that tns oeaaneau. has become such a burden that the roads are anxious to be rid of him. Beginning with the first of the present year the railroads east of BL Louie and Chicago undertook the experiment of cut ting off certain classes of former pass holders. Borne of the companies weakened and It to uncertain how far ths agreement reaches, but If all pasBes were abolished axoeot to ths employes in that territory it would out otf 10,700.000 free rides, repre senting transportation worth ,000.uoo. The lines In ths south and west are wait lag to ses how the experiment works in the north. Should It prove a succsss there. it unauestionably will in time, the roads In other sections of the country will follow suit. Railway managers have been alow to make a record tor keeping faith with each other, but sines their agreement ' two years ago to abolish commissions to ticket agents there is no doubt mat uey 4W PREVENTS AND BREAKS UP can live up to any pledge they may make among themselves if they really wish to keep U. People with Passes. This pass question Interests hot only the 1,000,000 employes of American railways, but possibly 90 per cent of all the con gressmen, Judges, legislators. In short moat office holders, national, state, municipal and county, practically all ths newspaper edi tors and other politicians, press attaches. publishers of every kind, from programs to the great dallies, promoters of fairs and expositions, theatrical and circus advance agents, shippers sad ths next of kin of all these, and thousands more besides. It is a fact that' every eighth passenger on a rail road train is a deadhead. The average la five deadheads on every passenger train In ths United States. If this vast amount of free transportation could be evenly dis tributed, tpene would be a free ride of twenty-five miles once a year- for every man, woman and child in ths country. The average fare is 1 cents per mile and a 60-cent trip for every Inhabitant would be practically $40,000,000 worth of transports- tlon. The discontinuance of passes, however, would not add anything like that sum to the net earnings of the roads. Indeed, it is doubtful If ths net would be increased mors thsn $8,000,000 annually, but even in an aggregate of $515,000,000 which the com mon carriers bad left after paying operating expenses in 1900, the sum of $8,000,000 is well worth considering. It would psy one sixth of ths railway taxes. ' Every pass issued by a railroad must be charged to some "account" employe, ex change, advertising, political, personal, complimentary or something. Ons oer- sistent young man when asked to state the account on which a pass could be issued to mm, replied, "cheek." . That was an excep tional confession. statistics at Deadheads. Generally apeaking the deadheads, like ancient uaui, are divided in three depart ments and the volume of traveling Is approximately: Miles per year. "0.000,000 4IX,OUI),000 8U0.0OO.0U0 mere random That Is, he Is either employed by another road or he secured his pass through a re quest made by another road. Heretofore, every general officer of a road with any standing at all had from twenty to 100 an nuals good over roads from one end of the country to the other. In addition to the general officers the traveling repre sentatives and many division officers have annuals good on all the roads In their ter ritory. Soliciting agents excepted, railway officials seldom have occasion in the course of a year to use more than ten or a dozen exchange passes. The burden Is heaviest on the large system and particularly' on those lines which lead to New York and Chicago. This is ths era of railway conferences. Formerly business between the roads was conducted chiefly by letter and telegraph. Now the officials confer once or twice a Employes Exchange Political and advertising....

Employes will not be cut off for a long time, ir they over are the companies will have to reimburse them for money spent In traveling on company business. And should an employs wsnt to visit soms point oa his own road he would discover company business calling him there. The moat feas ible plan yet proposed Is to tssus mileage books in lieu of passes snd keep a strict account of the quantity used by each em ploye. Vice President Paul Morton of the Atchi son, Topeka sV Santa Fe ssys: "There should be no passes printed not a single one for anybody." President Samuel Spencer of the South em railway ssys that employes ought to pay tare Just as they pay hotel bills and put the cost of the tickets In their expense accounts, wnen traveling for the company Former Preatdent 8. R. Callaway of the New York Central told the Industrial com- mission that h was opposed to passes. "I would cut the whole thing off tomorrow it I bad my way," he ststed. President M. E. Ingalls of ths "Big Four" thinks that every railroad should pass It own employes, but If they want to travel over other lines, "let them pay their way, and If It is oo railway business they will be repaid upon vouchers for their ex peases." Of ths five deadheads tor every passenger train ons U travel li oa an exchang pass. month. Hardly a week passes that railway officials do not hold some meeting. These conferences may be called anywhere be tween Boston and San Francisco. Western officials meet In Chicago, St. Louis, Mil waukee, St. Paul, Omaha, Kansas City, Denver and other cities. Officials of southern roads hold at least six meet ings a year In New York, one ' or two in Chicago and others at dif ferent cities or. resorts between the Poto mac and the Gulf. Traffic officials of the large systems are seldom at home seven days consecutively. Many of them are usually accompanied by a secretary or a chief clerk. Abolish pasres and their fares will amount to a considerable sum, not im portant to the long lines, but quits a drain on the smaller companies. Commercial freight agents and traveling passenger agents use more free train trans portation than any other set of men. They frequently ride 6,000 miles a month, but they will not average more than 8,000 miles. With exchange passes in their pockets, they will Jump 200 miles to solicit two carloads of freight or half a dozen passengers. Cut oft the passes and the personal solicitation of business will be reduced. However, it la not likely that this will cause any ma terial reduction In the outside, or, as some call them, the "outlying agencies." These agencies cost the roads $17,000,000 a year. Expensive aa they are, they cannot be dis continued until the entire territory is divided or apportioned, as la done In Eng land, where the roads do not solicit busi ness at all. Unless otherwise directed by the shippers, railways will deliver traffic to their preferred connections. The courts have decided that the roads have the right to do this anyway, even over the protest Campaign of 1884 Death of a Woman Who figured in It Maria Halpln Hupt died on Friday, the 7th Inst., at her home In New Rochelle, N. Y. She was the wife ef Wallace Hunt, a hardware merchant. The cause of her death was pneumonia. Ths announcement recalls the presiden tial campaign of 1884. Each presidential campaign seems to hsve Us own peculiar feature in which It differs from all the oth ers. The one of 1884 was notable for Its exciting Incidents, Its bitterness, malignity . and the charges made againat the candi dates. In this campaign, relates the Brook lyn Eagle, Maria Halpln was a figure of na tional Importance, whoss name became as familiar to the voters and the world at large aa thoso of the candidates tbemaelves. Shortly after Mr. Cleveland had received the nomination for president a paper, now out of existence, it Is believed, published a statement of illicit relations existing be- tween Maria Halpln and the democratic candidate. Although Grover Cleveland made ths de mand, "Tel) the truth," the lies cropped up . much faster thsn they could be overhauled and in turn bred reprisals In rumors and charges against ths republican candidate until the campaign degenerated Into a mud sllnglng contest that shamed ths vsry peo ple engaged in it. Then cams the singular contest between the campaign committees for possession of Maria Halpln, ons slds, the republicans, desiring to possess control of her that they might use ber to the end , of the affirmative of the truth of the ; charges; the others, that she might not fall Into the hands of those who would use her against herself. It was at New Rochelle she was living when ths storm broke about her head and that singular contest for her possession by ths agents of the two nstlonal campaign committees arose. The bsttls begsn la sn effort to secure from the woman ststements. the effort of the republicans being to secure one that would prove that all the allega tions of cruelty and maltreatment were true; that of' the democrats to the end of securing a statement from ths woman that thers wss no truth In them at all. At that tlms she was living in ths house of a msn nsmed Sescord, a humble carpenter, who became tremendously Impressed by the events of such national Importance and much frightened. While this contest wss being waged by the representatives ef the two committees ths placs wss thronged by all the star reporters of the American press seeking sn interview with the hapless woman. If an uneducated man, a ho had lived a simple and uneventful life, Beacord was shrewd snd of natural wit and cunning. He had from ths first sign of ths storm advised Maria to keep herself out of sight and hsvs no communication with any one. He placed himself aa a barrier at the front door. But when the reporters swarmed upon him, and one, in the guise of a peddler with a pack on his back, actually got into ths house, where an accident revealed his true chsracter, he was genuinely alarmed. He abandoned his work and devoted him self to guarding the woman. Night and day he sat In the hall of his horns with two rifles and four revolvers In reach, and It really became dangerous to mount the steps leading to hla front door, for he had nerved himself up to the idea that it was his duty to shoot the person who sought to gsln sn entrance to his bouse. This rather played the game of the demo cratic representative than otherwise, for, while he could not reach the woman him self, hs had the assurance that neither could the republican, and the next best thing to an authorized denial was the pre vention of a signed story which would seem to bs an affirmation of ths charges. This had been going on for some days when the democratic repreaentatlve, through a lawyer who had dons legal business tor Seacord, arranged tor an entrance into the house and sn interview with Maria Halpln. Ths night arrived snd the representative met the lawyer as by agreement. Unfortunately for the entire success of his plan, hs wss recognized by some of the opposing forces on .his wsy thither. The consequence was that his entrance into the house was ob served by more than one hidden behind the trees that lined the street. Seacord re ceived the two at the door, rifle In hand, and Insisted on greeting his visitor ss Cleveland. The a he paralysed the demo cratic repreaentatlve by announcing that Maria Halpln bad disappeared from the bouse snd gons whither be did not know, and to this story hs clunr, Insisting that -Maria had been driven from the house by the persecutions of thoss who wished to make her talk and sign papers. Indeed, he showed such signs of distress snd anxiety over her departure as to convlncs ths demo cratic agent that sha bad Bed without Sea cord's knowledge. Moreover, he was greatly alsrmed. He wss by no means sure; In fact, he per suaded himself that sbs had fled Into re publican arms, since be was aware mone tary considerations had been offered. It was weeks after that ba learned the truth, that this simple-minded country carpenter had spirited ber swsy ssfely to prevent her from meeting him. What followed was an abuse of him from ths republican side so bitter and virulent, charging him with ab ducting Maria, of carrying her by carriage la ths dead of ths night to a waiting steam, yacht, on which sbs had been conveyed to a foreign country, printing pictures of the same, that he finally became convinced that In the bitterness and virulence there was sincerity and belief, which, if so, was assurance thst the opposing forces had not secured possession of the woman. Then came a chaae to find out her where abouts. Hundreds of detectives on both sides were scouring the country. In the meantime the partisan press of the country was ringing with denunciations and the oft told Jale, with malignant additions, was told again and the spellbinders from the stump reaffirmed and denied the story. If the democrats were worried by the Maria Halpln affair, the republicans were by the "Mulligan" letters. Impeaching Blaine, which bad been given publicity under demo cratic auspices. Principles and their dis cussion fell by the wsy. Maria Halpln and ths Mulligan letters were the only themes. The bitterness of ths leaders In waging ths political contest showed Itself among the voters, until "ths Intelligent stranger visiting theae shores" must have been con vinced, from what he heard and read, that the American people had selected the two worst men among them for whom to vote for preatdent. Finally the representative of the demo cratic committee, through his sgents, found where Maria Halpln had been secreted, and, entering Into negotiations with her, per suaded her to return to ths cars and pro. taction of her Uncle Seacord. By this he succeeded in putting sn end to a set of slanders which had charged the democratic candldats with conniving st her abduction and confinement. He had been shrewd enough, perhaps used ths solid argument of money, to make Interest with her near relatives. When Msrla returned to Sea cord's bouse shs was surrounded by thess relatives, guarded and protected by them. But Seacord's Influence was strong enough to prevent her from consenting to sign sny statement of whatever kind. On this point he stood with all the obstinacy of a narrow mind, which had conceived that some dis aster would result to the woman if she were to sign her asms to any document whatever. Thus it waa that what shs was willing to ssy, snd did say a dozen times In ths presence of witnesses, shs refused to ssy in writing over her signature. Efforts to Induce her were continued with results of greater obstinacy on ths part of Seacord and her relatives until ths votes were caat on that grsy November day that settled the question, snd then, with ths Mulligan letters, ths nams of Maria Halpin dropped again into that obscurity from which It had been lifted by ths malignity of unscrupulous partisans. of the shippers. As there are more than ninety routes by which freight may move between New York and New Orleans, it can be seen that the soliciting agent has a vast field in the country at large. Where the Pinch Conies In. The discontinuance of exchange passes will require presidents to buy eighteen full fare tickets when they take private cars over other lines than their own. - Naturally, this will restrict the movement of private cars, which will be a relief to the larger roads and especially to those which enter the great cities. When all exchsnge passes are discon tinued the roads will probably furnish mile age books to each other, keep an account of the mileage used and settle balances In cash. Traveling representatives will be re quired to use the mileage sparingly or at least for no personal trips. It has been estimated that the average soliciting agent does not travel more than 30,000 miles a year and that $6,000 would pay for all his transportation. A company with fifty out side men would not have to use more than $300,000 worth of mileage for its outside men In a year and that sum would not be felt by a company able to maintain so many outside men. Railway managers agree that the great est abuse of the pass system is in the political department. Politicians must be conciliated and a pass is frequently the price of peace. Public officials often be come Insistent and request passes, not only for themselves and members of their fam ilies, but also for constituents. New York, North Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi prohibit their officials accepting railway passes. The anti-pass bill is familiar in many stste legislatures. Occasionally soma one proposes that ths roads be required by law to furnish all public officials with passes. After New York forbade the roada o issue passes to public officials the latter demanded them for their friends and this was a greater evil than the first. Many roada maintain a political department. They have found that they must have in fluential friends to protect them from harsh legislation. The pass la believed to have power to remove prejudices. Refusal to give one msy cause trouble Mr. A. B. Stlckney, president of a western rallroaa, testifying before a commission, said that hs had found It good policy to bs liberal In issuing passes to public officials. Hs related an Incident of a western sheriff, who, upon being refused an annual by one road, summoned four of its most Importsnt officials to serve on s Jury and they were kept In the service of the court two weeks. Many Impositions. That tbs rosds are imposed on In ths nams of charity is beyond dispute. Thou sands of passes are given to applicants who are atls to pay fare, but who relate a pathetlo atory and appeal to the general passenger agent's sympathy. A well dressed woman of excellent famlls called one day on a general passeuger agent and stated that she had been elected a delegate to soms convention In a distant city. "The fare for the round trip is $26," she said. "I need a new bat. This ons Is really too shabby, you will admit, to wear there. I cannot afford to buy a ticket and a new hat, too, snd I want you to give me a pass." Banator Cbauncey Depew tells of a former classmate, looking ssedy and dissipated, who called on him and requested a pass to Albany and return. Mr. Depew Inquired upon what ground ths request was made. The applicant replied that bs would explain after he got the pass. Wben It was banded to him hs said that hs ws wlng to Albany to deliver an address tors the Young Men's Christian association on "How to Maks Money."
