Aro wo ii nation of * liar*, thieve*,
client* t Knot, what iatho meaning of
tho universal tuaplcten which poisons
overj-brothcr’sciip? Why thaao check*
in street cam, these lnechnnlcal contriv
ance* in barroom*, these private deteet-
iv* 14,'onclc*?. Vou remember what a
hubbub wn* created rear* ago when oon^
duetors wore* cofipollcd to wear uutaslre
,medallions; with intricate mechanism,
opposed to show correctly the number of
fares taken. They looked like so many
Japaneso gods with bungling, onerous,
burdensome ornaments about them. The
directors suspected that tho conductor*
wero stealing, and every timo tho con*
ductor pulled the spring that rang the
t " ho challenged public scrutiny, and
suggestion came to every mind, "tho
ipany suspects this man to be a thief,’’
so they did suspect every man to bo
let, and they doqbted the accuracy
heir mechanism as well, because co*
and secretly they sent spotters,
men, young ladies, tender children,
“ oen in every possible disguise,
»p tally of the number of people
rode upon the cars and paid fare
to privilege. As it was in Boston
was In New York and in all. the
great' centers. The system of checkago
in use upon our railways today is‘not
' Ivo toltho companies and an
noisanoo to the traveling
but a direct impugning of tho in*
of every man in too employ.
„ tay a ticket from .here to Boston,
and pay in advanoe. I pay $6 for my
ticket, and (1.80, or whatever, for a seat
in a drawing room car. It should be
quite jufflountdp nm to give up my
1 ticket to a gstwnyi agl enter the depot#
and my other tloket to the porter in
charge of the drawing room ear, as I
ehter the car. Instead of which, lam
stopped, at tho gate as I enter the
depot, in order that a gateman may
punch tho ticket, I take my seat in the
car. In comes a train conductor, who
takes my ticket and punches it in three
or four different places. I settle down
to read my paper or tny book, and along
comes the drawing room conductor, who
takes my ticket and gives too another in
its place, on which ho punches tho year,
the' month, tho day of tho month, tho
number of the train, the number of the
car, the number of the seat, my destina
tion and tho amount paid, all of which
takes my time and gives him unnecessary
labor, we pass beyond Now Haven, and
another conductor comes, and be has to
punch my ticket, and another conductor
comes at Worcester, and lie lias to [much
the ticket. Then they cpme along again
and. take uw the tickets.
Como with me into any of our bar
rooms, our restaurants, oar cafes. Time
was when a man could go with his friend
into mcafe, order his lemonade or what
ever he wanted, generally the latter,
throw his money on the- counter and
walkout. Now bo has to perform the
service of a waiter. Having' taken his
refreshment he waits while the attendant
turns to a machine at the back of tho in-
•closure, from which ho draws a card, on
which is stamped the amount to be paid,
which amount is shown in glaring letters
upon the machino os the impression is
made. This tho customer is compelled
to carry sometimes a distance of a hun
dred feet. At all events ho must carry
it wherever tho cashier chances to to
seated. Ho hands tho check and the
monoy to tho cashier, wipes his mouth
and walks away. In other words, the
barkeeper i3 distinctly informed by this
procedure that his employer has no faith
in him, and both ho and tho cashier is
informed by tills mechanism, which reg
isters tho amount, that their employer
trusts neither of them.
And, after all, do cheda check?
Thieving conductors wero supplied by
ingenious mechanics with littlo arrange
ments by which, while pretending to
register, they in reality pocketed tho fare
without registering. Barkeepers, by col
lusion with cashiors, con, if they wish,
defraud their employers. This very week
ono of our railroad auditors tumbled over
a plan by which fores collected on steam
railways wero retained by conductors,
they having duplicate slips furnished
them by the accountant in tho office.
Humon'ingenuity is certain to to met by
human ingenuity. Hi the long run, tak-
E l ago after age, accumulated facte
vo crystallised themselves into a pro
verb, “Honesty is the best policy,’’and
dishonest men know just as well os the
good and truo that the path to success
lies in that direction, and that leaving
all question of morals out of considera-
tkto, tho best “policy,’’ tho truest way
tn which to servo one’s selfish purpose,
is to be honest.
k There must to responsibility somo-
wlierc. Somebody must bo trusted, and
ail tills intricate system of checkago
doesn't amount to shucks. If a man is
dishonest and bos not brains enough to
know chat, in spito of his dishonest ten
dency, success can to obtained by honest
methods alone, no power this side Of
heaven con keep him from cheating, and
cheating for a while without detection.—
Joe Howard in Boston Oloto.
