Congressman Baker Says Public dais Should Refuse Them. Oft 00OBTX8IXS FOB PBIVILBOBS. The New York „ i. OongreMiitan Who lletarned Bolt!more and Ohio ' — r Pam Oivee Hie Views at Lensth. The attitude of Representative Robert Baker, of the 6th New York Oongreaelonal district, which is a part of Brooklyn, regarding tbe acceptance by public officials of railway passes, has aroused no little interest and com* ment throughout tbe country. ~ r It will be remembered that Mr Raker a few days ago returned a para Issued by tbe Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. Upon request of tbe Sun he set forth bis ideas on the matter 16 detail, the neocessary brevl ties of a note returning tbe para falling to convey fully bis opinions, Mr. Baker replies as follows: ^‘Tbe extent to which the evil of free peases bH permeated legislative bodies was vividly portrayed on tbe days upon the floor of tbe House of Representatives as a spectator of Its proceedings near the end of tbe last Congress. IN CONOKK88. "Among the mearures acted upon was the postoffioe appropriation bill It waa openly charged by thoee oppos log one of its provisions—that for i Southern fast mail- that many of those favoring this specific Item were In tbe pay or were tbe recipients of favors such as passes from the railroad which would be tbe bCneflciai-y of that Item in the appropriation. So vigor oua and outspoken were Us opponents that tbe finger of scorn was pointed at certain members and they were openly charged with then having that railroad’s passes in tbelr pockets, those accused merely sneered cynically, «os even challenging the opponents to go over and count the ’railroad members.’ It was a truly discouraging exhibition of indifference to a serious charge. Later personal discussion with several members compelled tbe conclusion that many were in possession of pastes of the various railroads. More than one unhesitatingly Advised tbelr ac ceptance. As one put It: 'Take all you can get-^rallroad, telegraph or anything else;’ nnw York lbqislaturb. —^ "That Legislators resent any sug gestion of the curtailment or abolition of tbe practice was clearly shown dur ing the reeent session of New York Legislature, where the attempt of a. New York city member to prevent tbe acceptance of Pullman car passes re sulted In his practidtl ostracism and overwhelming defeat of bis measures as a punishment for bto teiberity Only a day or so since merchant informed me that immedi ately upon the election of himself and Afrieoa to the local governing'body there four yean ago they received through the mall passes from the street railway company. SAYS IT IS OOUBUYTINQ. The widespread Interest In tbe sub ject is indicated In many commenda tory letters from not only New York, but Buffalo, Boston, Blnghampton, Syracuse, etc, among them being one from a well-known New York lawyer, a former prestdeot of tbe .State Bar Association, who says, among other things: ‘1 know of no influence at work in the community more corrupt ing in its tendencies than the free .para system.

Why, then, are railroads so generous? . "The only other private business that Indulgealn the luxury of extend ing valuable courtesies to public offi dais, and then only ta thoae unusual ly conspicuous, are patent medldne proprietors. This is only done to ex pldt their wares. But railroads neither ask nor desire that Legialaton or other public offidab shall make public announcement of tbe possession of pssres or recommend tbe road for Its superior accommodations. ’ ' 8PXCJAL PRIVILKQBS. Tbe cause pf tbe generosity of the railroads Is not difficult tadlacovet. It lays iq tbe fact that they are the grantees of special privileges; that Legislators have the power to grant further privileges, while certain other public officials are charged with the duty of seeing that the companlse comply with the laws. “is there any neocessary relation, or la it a mere coincidence, that officials In tbe possession of passes and whose duty It Is to make assessment find great difficulty In discovering all the property of the railroads and assesses tbelr spedal privileges at so ‘dow figure? "In Ohio this scandal has been car ried to the extent of railroad proper ties being assessed not to exceed 16 per cent of their value as against 66 per cent asiessmeots on farm property. The citlzenii of that State are to be congratulated upon numbering among their officials one—the mayor of Cleveland—who not only knows these facts, but has the courage and deter mination to oppose those who thus violate tbelr oaths of office and who has conducted a vigorous and success ful fight against members of bis own party who bsve broken their pledges and betqiyed the people In voting for tbe Infamous ’Curative Act’ extend ing for a long term of years Senator Foraker’s Cincinnati street railroad franchises.

"In Pennsylvania It la notorious that the railroad arg-daily violating not only the laws, but the Constitu tion of the-State, which prohibits, railroads from mining coal or engag- the occasion of my spending a few- ing directly or indirectly In any “Ottlfif business than that of common carriers.

" ‘I have sometimes been in a where more than half the people were riding on a pass. The other half were paying tbe fares for all.

PLEA THAT it IS ‘‘THE CUSTOM.” Only plea seriously advanced of-tbfc tttbft it to -private car doubtless tickles the vanity while it numbs jthe conscience of the public offiola} #ho accepts it as a terms or franchise. "A newspaper that pleads custom aud courtesy as an excuse for this de moralizing practice states that even those who oppose the railroads accept the passes End then proceed to deliver anti-railroad speeches. May this not account for so much oracular antago nism being accompanied with so little result? It has become a trite saying .bat ‘corporations have no souls.’ This is certainly true as to special privilege corporations. Their Indifference to mere talk, no matter how boisterous and condemnatory, Is notorious. The only thing that hurts is an attempt, unfortunately too rare, of a public offi cial to enforce tbe terms of their frkn- cblses or the laws governing .their operation. ’Gentlemen’s agreements,’ under which public officials ^orate, but un accompanied by any overt act com pelling compliance wfth tbe statutes, are an excellent means of enabling an official to ’savs hjs face’ with the peo- >le without straining the courtety of: ihe railroad which provided the pass, and are probably largely responsible or tbe feeling among tbe people that t is useless to expect anything effeo- a Rort Jervis 61 ve ** done; tbe railroads willgov- ~ *ern In any event, * \ ~ - CAN TREY BB PROPERLY ACCEPTED? "But can these ’courtesies’ properly be accepted by the people’s represen ta- tivra? Railroads, surface, elevated and national highways, telegraph tele- >hone and electrict light companies lave all entered Into contractual ob- igations as a condition of the special jrivlleges granted them. The en- oroement of these obligations depends upon tbe energy and fidelity of cer tain public officials. Can soph officials -municipal, State or Natlonal-^do full duty to their employers, tbe peo ple, if in receipt of favors from the other party to these contracts? Tbe columns of the press generally bear testimony to the very frequent com plaint that these obligations are not enforced. - "Again, it is well known that bills affecting railroads form a large part of those dealt with by Legislatures. Aa agents or trustees of tbe people’s property, how can legislators consider proposed contracts solely from tbe standpoint of thp interest of public, when they are jvpipieats of even such favors as annual passes presented by those asking either for. new privileges or extensions of (rid Ones? 1 "No Judge would knowingly per mit an attorney to appeal for a client if the other party to the suit bad given the attorney some secret favor?

TRAIN HELD roll DKi’KW. "A fewypars ago, being In Albany and desirous of returning to New York, I was one of the victims of that total disregard of the righto of the travelling public so frequently ex hibited by railroads. On arriving at tbe Albany depot to take the 3 p. m., train I was Informed that it was more than an hour late. Later repeated inquiries of tbe cause of the delay, (climatic conditions being good) final ly elicited the information from one of the depot officials that the train had been held for a hour and a half at Canastota, If I remember aright, for Senator Depew, who was en route from llbaca, where be bad delivered an address, and who wished to keep an engagement in New York. Per sonally, I was not seriously affected by this scandalous refusal of the com pany to fulfil tbe implied conditions of Its contract entered Into when the tickets were sold for that train, which conditions—that it would bring tbe train to its detination, NewrYrak, with the utmost dispatch—illpad publicly advertised In tbe newspapers and by Ito agreement todo. "I was, however, tbe witness of several affecting scenes when tbe train arrived at tbe Grand Central depot some two hours late. Friends of tbe numerous patoengers had been com pelled to endure tbe suspense, the al ternate- hope and fear that no acci dent bad caused the delay, and this' anxiety was shown pi the faces of sev eral of those awaiting tbe arrival of the train. a woman’s distress. "This was surely bad enough, but among the passengeas was a lady and iwa joiing- children.bound iur some>7^7>11^",* nterior point in Connecticut, who had planned to take & train leaving about 7.30 p. m., from the same depot where our train was advertised to ar rive at 6 p. ta—a sufficient- leeway surely. The change from hope to de spair which was clearly depicted upon tbe mother’s face as conflicting esti- mates were made to her from time to able. A stranger .to New York, her distress, when It Anally became evi dent that the last train which could carry, her to herdestin&Uoo thateven- ng had departed, was apparent -a distress induced^ 1 think, by a realiza tion of the extent her acaotv purse must be depleted by staying over night n New York. "All her suffering, all the anxiety of hundreds of friends of the passen gers was caused unnecessarily, and was solely due to the callous Indiffer ence of the- company to the righto of to passengers, and was a violation of the contract it had entered Into with them. Tbe righto of the passengers were nullified; trouble, iaconvemfence, annoyance and worry were caused to many, merely .because an official of tbe company wished to keep some ap pointment In New York, *. A NOTHKU REASON. There is another reason why pub ic officials should not accept passes. The cost of these favors is borne, by those who pay for their tickets. How peat tbe cost of this free service may te is suggested in tbe letter from the ex-president of the..State Bar Associa tion already quoted _ Others have doubtless had his experience of being passenger where a large proportion had passes. Tbe cost in the aggregate must be enormous and indicates bow >revalent is the practice and the ex eat to which It has permeated official life. ‘ ' . . . DENIAL OF EQUAL RIGHTS. “To those who regard the Jeffer sonian philosophy of ‘equal righto to all, apeclal privileges to none,’not as a glittering generality nor as a mere party chibboieth, but as a vital, living >rlnciple, applicable at all' times to .be affairs .of men, the giving or re ceiving of passes is peculiarly objec tionable, as they realize tbe practice operates as a bulwark to the undemo cratic system of farming out Govern ment functions to private Individuals. The fact that a railroad., telegraph or telephone system cannot e^ist without the grant of special privileges—tbe granting of which is a denial of the equal fights of others—proves that the function is governmental and should he carried on bj the people for the good of all. POLITICAL DEBAUCHERY. "Special-privilege corporations, such as Inter-State railroads, surface and elevated lines in our large cities, have been tbe moat prolific cause of tbe de moralization and the debauchery of American politics, municipal as well as national.

In 1883 he met and married tbe Duchess de Osstellucbla, a New York woman, who many years previously bad been married to an Italian noble man. The duchess poraeraed many acres of orange graves In Florida. Si.e was 73 years of age and Dwyer 33. Not long after tbe marriage Mrs. Dwyer died, leaving an estate of over 83,000,000. She bequeathed 110 of this amount to Dwyer. Tbe will was fought for six years but finally was admitted to probate by the surrogate of New York city. After the death of his aged wife, Dwyer went all over the west organis ing mining and land companies, many of which are said to have returned vast siims of money to the investors, of which he says he has received lit tle or nothing. ,/ In 1800, Dwyer enlisted in the ma rine corps in tbe Brooklyn navy yard for a term of three years and was sent to Manila where he was known as the millionaire marine.” After one year’s service, on the application of friends, he recived an honorable discharge.

Quite a number of Charlotte adver- verUsers Wednesday narrowly escaped being victimized by an advertising swindle, says tbe News, Last week a young man who gave bis name as C. O. Lahatteand who said be bailed from Augusta, Ga., drummed up number of advertisements to edition of 1,000 copies of which he proposed to have printed and placed with an attache of tbe Southern Rail way here to be given out to eugineers, conductors, * brakemen, firemen and railroad men generally. He contracted with a local job office to print him only 250, which were finished and turned over to him Wednesday. He took a few samples of the book and went out to make bis collections, telling bis patrons that he bad complied with all the requirements Of his contract and he bad nearly realized all of his money, about 8130, when one advertiser re fused to pay before having proof of the number printed and made a per sonal investigation to find that only 250 copies had beqp ordered. . This let the cal out of the bag and telephones were kept busy spreading the news among the lambs of how they lad been sheared- The aforesaid lambs were now no longer deaf before their shearer. One advertiser who had been caught to the amount of 120 demanded It back of tbe fellow under threat of having him subjected to tbe pains and penalties of tbe law. Ihe police were called In and the fakir, now thoroughly alarmed, was; com pelled to dlsgorge erery dent of his collections, which were returned to tbe swindled ones, making them both glad and sorrow, too. : V • - \ Not only was a swindle worked in the number of copies printed, but tbe same space was sold to three different advertisers, two of them paying 88 and the tbe other 120 for the same space. This was managed by having the unsuspecting printer to shift the ads. and print a few each way, which the fakir exhibted to tbe subscribers and secured his money on. The young man was accompanied by a clerical ooking gentleman who said be was bis father. Nobody knows whether to connect him,however, with tbe swin dle worked by the vounger man. It is not necessary to try to point a moral Or adorn a tale out of this episode? They are too obvious for comment.
