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. # n ii oor Back! lint -poor back- Is haU iwpoMlHs for non th«# Ms share of ■unkind.
