FREE V&8ES. > ?>r Brooklyn, regarding the acceptance t>y public otllcials of railway passes has aroused no little interest and com merit throughout the country. It will be remembered that Mr. Baker a few days ago returned a past issued by the Baltimore and Ohit Railroad Company. Upon request ol the Sun he set forth his ideas on tin matter in detail, the ncceessary brevi ties of a note returning the pass falling to convey fully his opinions, Mr. Baker renlies as follows: "The extent to which the evil ol free passes has permeated legislative bodies was vividly portrayed on tin the occasion of my spending a tew days upon the lloor of the House ol Representatives as a spectator of iti proceedings near the end of the last Congress. IN lX)NOUESS. "Anions the mearures acted upon was tlte postoflice appropriation hill. It was openly charged by those oppos lug one of its provisions -that for ;i Southern fast mail that many ol those favoring this specific item were in the pay or were the recipients ol favors such as passes from the railroad which would be the beneliclary of that item in the appropriation. So vigor ous and outspoken were its opponent that the linger of scorn was pointer at certain members and they were openly charged with then having that railroad's passes in their pockets, thost accused merely sneered cynically, one even challenging the opponents to g< overand count the 'railroad members. It was a truly discouraging exhibition of indifference to a serious charge. Later personal discussion with severa members compelled the conclusion that many were in possession of passe? of the various railroads. More than one unhesitatingly advised their ac ceptanee. As one put it: 'Take all you can get railroad, telegraph ot anything else.' NKW YOltK I.KOISLATL'UK. "That Legislators resent any suggestion of the curtailment or abolition of the practice was clearly shown during the recent session of New York Legislature, where the attempt of a New York city member to prevent the acceptance of Pullman car passes resulted in his practical ostracism and overwhelming defeat of his measures as a punishment for his temerity. Only a day or so since a Port .lervi? merchant informed me that immediately upon the election of himself and a friend to the local governing body there four years ago they received through the mail passes from the r?tiuui laiiwaj \ ajiiipcvuj . SAYS IT IS COUKUITINO. The widespread interest in the subject is indicated in many commendatory letters from not only New Yorkhut hutTalo, Boston, Binghampton Syracuse, etc, among them being one from a well-known New York lawyer a former president of the State Bai Association, who says, among othei things: 'I know of no inlhience at work in the community more corrupt ring in its tendencies than the free pass system. In going to attend ;i meeting of commission appointed u appraise property taken by a railroad company in a condemnation proceed ing i rode in the car with one of tin commissioners, lie pulled out an an uual pass as new and as clean as wlici it left the company's ollice. lie livee on the line of the railroad and did si great deal of travelling. This pas; was worth a good many hundred dol lars to him.' "I rode in the car the other da] with a gentleman who pulled out: bunch of "annuals" that would tak* him half way over the country. " T have sometimes been in a cai where more than half the people wer< riding on a pass. The other half wer< paying the fares for all. Where ; single annual pass is insulllcient t< work its purpose :i pass for a private car often completes the work of cor riiption.' "If a workman representing ollte workmen is to he sent to jail hecausi he accepts hrihe money, certaiuly tin men who ou^'ht to know I Hitter thai lie and are supposed to have liighe ideals outfht not to escape. I'LKA THAT IT IS "TUB CUSTOM." "The only plea seriously advancer in extenuation of this demoralizing practice is that it is the 'custom' o railroad companies to send passes U public otllcials as an act of 'courtesy. <.-?

Why, then, are railroads so 1 generous? ( "The only other private business i that Indulges in the luxury of extending valuable courtesies to public offl- < clals, aud then only to those unusual- i ly conspicuous, are patent medicine i proprietors. Tills is only done to ex- i ploit their wares. Hut railroads i neither ask nor desire that Legislators i or other public otllcials shall make I public announcement of the possession of passes or recommend tlie road for ] its superior accommodations. SPECIAL I'llIVILBOKS. "The cause of the generosity of the . railroads is uot ditlleult to discover. It lays in the fact that they are the grantees of special privileges; that Legislators have the power to grant further privileges, while certain other public otllcials are charged with the duty of seeing that the companixe comply with the laws.

IN PKNNSYLVANIA. : "In Pennsylvania it is notorious r that the railroad are daily violating not only the laws, hut the Constitur tion of the State, which prohibits railroads from mining coal or engag inn directly or indirectly in any other i business than that of common carriers. I it is a safe prediction that these llagi rant manifestations of contempt for y law are not unaccompanied with wholesale distribution of passes to the Legislators and other publicoilicials of i that State, in these days of lavish . expenditures and ostentatious display of wealth the temporary control of a i private car doubtless tickles the vanity f while it numbs the conscience of the ; public otllcial who accepts if as a f 'courtesy.' TKUMS OK Kit A Nl'IIJSKS. "A newspaper that pleads custom . and courtesy as ah excuse for this deI moralizing practice states that even . those who oppose the railroads accept the passes and then proceed to deliver . an ti-rail road speeches. May this not , account for so much oracular antago, nism being accompanied with so little result? it has become a trite saying i that'corporations have no souls." This is certainly true as to special privilege I corporations. Their indifference to , mere talk, no matter how boisterous . and condemnatory, is notorious. The , only thing tha? hurts is an attempt, . unfortunately too rare, of a publicotll[ cial to enforce the terms of their franr chises or the laws governing their operation. " 'Gentlemen's agreements,' under vvhicli public officials orate, but un accompanied by any overt act com1 polling compliance with tl?e statutes, " are an excellent means of enabling an official to 'save bis face' with the people without straining tlie courtesy of the railroad which provided the pass. ' and are probably luigely responsible ' for the feeling among the people that 1 it is useless to expect anything elTective to lie done; the railroads will gov' ern in any event. I CAN TIIKV HE I'KOi'EKLY ACCEPTED:' "hut can these 'courtesies' properly I be accepted by the people's reprcsenta: tives? Ilail roads, surface, elevated and national highways, telegraph telephone and electrict light companies have all entered into contractual obligations as a condition of the special privileges granted them. The enforcement of these obligations depends upon tlie energy and fidelity of certain public otliciais. Can such officials municipal, State or National do full duty to their employers, the people, if in receipt of favors from the other party to these contracts? The columns of the press generally bear testimony to the very frequent comj plaint that these obligations are not I enforced. "Again, it is well known that bills , aliecting railroads form a large part [ of those dealt with by Legislatures, j As agents or trustees of the people's I property, how can legislators consider L proposed contracts solely from the . standpoint of the interest of public, _ when they are recipients of even such favors as annual passes presented by , those asking either for new privileges ^ or extensions of old ones? "No .Judge would knowingly permit an attorney to appeal for a elicnt if the other party to the suit had , given the attorney some secret favor. ^ The Court would not accept either t 'courtesy' or 'custom' as an excuse. ( Legislators, being chosen by the pen, pic to act as their attorneys for a stated period, should they not he held to the same standard? r "kii;k katkk" impotknt.

On arriving at the Albany dc|M>t to take the :i p. m., train i was informed that it was in,.re than an hour late. Later repeated inquiries of the cause of the delay, (climatic conditions being good) linaly elicited the information from one of lie depot ollicials that the train Iiad iccn held for a hour and a half at }aiiastota, if I remember aright, for kmator I>epew, who was en route rotn Ithaca, where he had delivered m address, and who wished to keep hi engagement in New York.

Friends of the numerous passengers had been compelled to endure the suspense, the alternate hope and fear that no accident had caused the delay, and this anxiety was shown in thy faces of several of those awaiting the arrival ol the train. A WOMAN'S IMSTIIKSK. "This was surely bad enough, hut among the passcngcas was a lady and two young children hound for some interior point in Connecticut, win had planned to take a train leaving about 7.:to p. m., from the same depot where our train was advertised to arrive at (? p. in. a sufficient leeway surely. The change from hope to despair which was clearly depicted upon the mother's face as conllicting estimates were made to her from time t< time bv tiie trainmen was truly pitiable. A stranger to New York, her distress, when it dually became evident that the last train which could carry her to her destination t hat evening had departed, was apparent -;i distress induced, 1 think, by a realization of the extent her scanty purse must lie depleted by staying over night in New York. "All her sulTcriug, all the anxiety of hundreds of friends of t he passengers was caused unnecessarily, and was solely due to the callous indifference of the company to the rights ol its passengers, and was a violation of the contract it had entered into with them. The rights of the passenger* were nullified: trouble, inconvenience, annoyance and worry were caused t< many, merely because an otlic.ial of the company wished to keep some appointment in New York. A N<) I'llKK KKASON. ''There is another reason why public ollicials should not accept passes. The cost of'these favors is borne by those who pay for their tickets. How groat the cost of this free service may lie is suggested in the letter from the ex-president of the State liar Association already quoted Others have doubtless bad his experience of being a passenger where a large proportion had passes. The cost in the aggregate must lie enormous and indicates how prevalent is the practice and the extent to which it has permeated otlicial life. DENIAL OK EqUAI. UIOIITS. "To those who regard the .lelTersonian philosophy of 'equal rights to all, special privileges to none,'not as a glittering generality nor as a mere party shibboleth, but as a vital, living principle, applicable at all times to the atTairs of men, the giving or receiving of passes is peculiarly objectionable, as they realize the practice operates as a bulwark to the undemocratic system of farming out Government functions to private individuals. The fact that a railroad, telegraph or telephone system cannot exist without the grant of special privileges the granting of which is a denial of the equal rights of others proves that the function is governmental and should he carried on h> the people for the good of all.

"Special-privilege corporal ions,such as lutcr-Sbate railroads, surface and elevated lines in our large cities, have been the most prolitic cause of the demoralization and the debauchery ol American polities, municipal as well as national.
