Tho New York Congressman Who lloturned Ballimore ATM! Ohio l'iiKN Given His Views nt liongth. The attitude of Representative Robert Baker, of the Otb. New York Congressional district, which is a part of Brooklyn, regarding the acceptance hy public olllcials of railway passes, has aroused no little interest and com ment throughout the country. lt will be remembered that Mr. Baker a few days ago returned a pass issued by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. Upon request of the Sun he set forth his ideas on the matter in detail, the neccessary brevi ties of a note returning the pass failing to convey fully his opinions, Mr. Baker replies as follows: 'Tho extent to which the evil of free passes lias permeated legislative bodies was vividly portrayed on thc the occasion of my spending a. rew days upon the Hour of the House ot Representatives as a spectator of its proceedings near thc end of the last Congress. ? . : . IN CONOKKSS. "Among tlie mearures acted upon was the postolhcc appropriation bill. It was openly charged by those oppos ing one of its provisions-that for a Southern fast mail- that many of those favoring this specific item were in the pay or were the recipients of favors such as passes from thc railroad which would bc the beneliclary of that item in the appropriation. So vigor ous and outspoken were its opponents that the linger of scorn was pointed at certain members and they were openly charged With then having that railroad's passes in their pockets, those accused merely sneered cynically, one even challenging thc 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' the conclusion that many were in possession of passes of thc various railroads. More than one unhesitatingly advised their ac ceptance. As one put it: 'Take all you can get-railroad, telegraph br anything else.' N1CW YOllK I. KO ISL AT V HIS. "That Legislators resent any sug gestion of the curtailment or abolitiou of thc practice was clearly shown dur ing the recent session of New York Legislature, where the attempt of a New York city member to prevent the acceptance of Pullman car passes re sulted in his practical ostracism and overwhelming defeat of his measures as a punishment for his temerity. Only a day or so since a Port Jervis merchant informed me that immedi ately upon the election of himself and a friend to thc local governing body there four years ago they received through the mail passes from the street railway company. SAYS IT is connurriNo. The widespread interest in tlie sub ject is indicated in many commenda tory letters from not only New York, but Bulfalo, Boston, Binghampton, Syracuse, etc, among them being one from a well-known New York lawyer, a former president of the State Har Association, who says, among other things: 'I know of no influence at work in the community more corrupt ing in its tendencies than the free pass system. In going to attend a m?eting o?-^Vunu?SSio" appointed to appraise property take"n\by a railroad company in a condemnate,1.1 proceed ing I rode in thc car with onP of the commissioners. He pulled ou(ovim an nual pass as new and as clean as when it left the company's olllce. Ile lived on thc linc of thc railroad and (lld a great deal o? travelling. This Pass "was worth a good many hundred dol lars to him.' "I rode In the car tlie other d?Y with a gentleman who pulled out a bunch of "annual!;" that would take him half way over the country. '* 'I have sometimes been in a car where more than half tlie people were riding (tn a pass. The other half were paying the fares for all. Where a single annual pass is insulllcient to work its purpose a pass for a private car often completes the work of cor ruption.' "If a workman representing other workmen is to be sent to jail because he accepts bribe money, certainly the men who ought to know better than he and are supposed to have higher ideals ought not to escape. VLKX THAT IT IS "THU CUSTOM." "The only plea seriously advanced in extenuation of this demoralizing practice is that it is the 'custom' o? railroad companies to send passes t:) public olllcials as ari act of 'courtesy,' To those that advance this plea lt is appropriate to i tupi i ru wherein lies any natural reason for railroads to do so, any more than other large private badness? Why has thc custom, if lt is such, arisen ? Wc never hear of large department stores or of big mer cantile houses informing legislators other public ollicials that they are at liberty to choose goods rrom them free of charge, or that several hundred dob lars has been placed to their credit against which they ran draw at pleas ure.

V . T" "The cause of the generosity of'tho railroads is notdltUcult to discover, lr lays in tim fact that they are .the grantees ..of speclul privileges; that Legislators have the power io , grant further privileges} whil,e.certairi|pther public otliclals are Chargen! with thc duty of seeing tbat tho comp'anisb comply with tile laws. "ls there any neccessary relation, or is lt a mere coincidence, that ollicials in the possession of passes, and whoso duty lt is to make assessment find great clinically in discovering all the property of thc railroads and assesses their special privileges at so low a figure? "In Ohio this scandal has been car ried to the extent ot railroad proper tics being assessed not to exceed IQ per cent of their value as against 00 per cent assessments on farm property. The citizens of that State are to be congratulated upon numbering among their olllclals one-tho mavor or Cleveland-who not only knows these facts, but has the courage and deter mination to oppose those who thus violate their catlin of ellice and who baa conduoted a vigorous and success ful tight against members of his own party who have broken their pledges and betrayed thc people in voting, for tho infamous 'Curative Act' extend ing for a long term of years Senator Moniker's Cincinnati street railroad franchises. - IN PENNSYLVANIA. "In Pennsylvania it' is notorious that thc railroad arc daily violating not only the laws, but the Constitu tion of the State, which prohibits railroads from mining coal or engag ing directly or indirectly in any other business than that of common carriers. It is a safe prediction that these flag rant manifestations of contempt for law are not unaccompanied with wholesale distribution of passes to the Legislators and other pu'il ic ollicials ot that State. In these di-ys of lavish expenditures and ostentatious display of wealth the temporary control of a private car doubtless tickles thc vanity while it numbs thc conscience of thc public otllcial who accepts it as ti 'courtesy.' TERMS OK KUANCniSES. "A newspaper that pleads custon and courtesy as an'excuse* for'this de i moralizing practice states that cvci , those who'opposc1 the Tai l~r?ads->accep1 thc passes'and'theil proceed to dcllvei ian ll-railroad speeches. May tills noi 'account for 50 much oracular ant,ago nism being accompanied with so Ililli result? It has become a trite"saj'ini that 'corporations have no sou ls.' Thii is certainly tr'ue'?s to special privilege corporations. Their indifference tt mere talk, no matter how boisterou and condemnatory, is notorious. Tlii only thing that hurts is au attempt unfortunately too raro., of a public bill cial to enforce tlie terms of their fran ohises or the laws governing' thel operation.*. j " 'Gentlemen's agreements,' utidjei ; which ' public' officials orate, but un 'accompanied hy any overt act com pelling compliance with the statutes 'are an excellent means of enabling ai olllcial tu 'save his face' with the peo plu without, st ral if lu g "the; courtesy p the railroad which provided Hie pass rand are probably largely responsible ?for tlie feeling amongtile people tba' lt Is useless to'expect anything clTcc "tlve to be done; the railroads wilt gov 'cm In any event. CAN THEY 1110 PHOl'EKLY. ACCEPTED "Hut can these 'courtesies' properl, ibo accepted by tlie people's representa ti ves? Railroads, surface, elevate and national highways, telegraph tele phone and electrlct light companie have all entered into contractual ot; ligations as a condition of the specia privileges granted them. The er forcement of these obligations depend upon the energy and fidelity of cei tain puhlicotlicials. Can such olllcial --municipal, State or National-d full duty to their employers, the pee plc, if in receipt of favors from th other party to these contracts? Tb columns of the press generally bea testimony to the very frequen j con plaint that these obligations are nc enforced. "Again, it is well known that bill affecting railroads form a large pal of those dealt witli by Legislatures As agents or trustees of the people property, how can legislators considc proposed contracts solely from tb standpoint of the Interest of publh when tiley are recipients of even sue favors as annual passes presented b those asking either for new privilege or extensions of old ones? "No Judge would knowingly pei mit an attorney to appeal for a chen if the other party to the suit ha given thc attorney some secret favoi The Court would not accept eltht 'courtesy' or 'custom' as an excusi Legislators, being chosen by the pei pie ta act as their attorneys for slated period, shopld tiley not be he! to the same standard? "KIUK EATER" IMPOTENT. "Herc in New York two years ai wc were treated to spectacular d nunciations by the tire-eating can 1 dates for a high legal ollice in hattan. being assured tlhat.werc 1 elected tho traction oct^iis 0f th borougti would be brought to accoui and its dciU?":C 3f h.w ended. Wi! what result? Absolutely none. Tl time has been too short, apparentl even to begin the task. "A few months after the election massacre took place In the New Yo Central tunnel. What did tlie Iii eater do? Did he cause thc arrest thc directors, or even the manage* of tlie road for criminal carclessneE Not at all. The poor engineer, wilt retention of his job depended up his running thc train according schedule, although unable, owing thc condition of the tunnel, to d linguist! signals, was arrested, tina the scapegoat of tlie company, un thc proverbial nine days popular t citcmcnt had largely subsided, tb set free. "If that corporation had a soul would grant a liberal pension to W gins for liaving been tlic focus much of tho attention of an iud nant, outraged and Buffering peo upon himself, thus diverting some tlic hostility that otherwise woi have been directed at tlic directo who wore really responsible for I loss of lire. TJIAIN HELD VOM DRPKW. "A few years ago, being In Alb? and desirous or returning lo N York, I was one ot the victims I that total disregard of thc rights bcoD" held fur a hour arid a I KI IC ut Oano8tota, ir I remember'aright, for Senator Depow, who was en rudie from Ithaoa, whore ho had delivered an address, and who wished to keep an engagement in New York... Per sonally, t was j r\of seriously alf so Lcd by Lliis scandalous refusal of tl ie odin puny to fulfil the Implied conditions of Ito.co'ntnict dnteretf Into when the tickets wetesb'ld for that train, which oonditlobs-tbat it would bring the traill to it8 detination, New York, with the Utmost dispatch-lt had publicly advertised In tho newspapers and by its agreement to do. "I was, however, the witness of several uffectlng scenes when the train arrived at the Grand Central, depot some two hours late. Friends of the numerous passengers had been com pelled to endure the suspense, the al ternate hope and fear that no acci dent hud ca u s od the delay, and this anxiety was shown In the faces of sev eral of thuse awaiting the arrival of the train. A WOMAN'S DI8TKIS88. "This was surely bad enough, but among the passcngcas was a lady and two young children bound for sume Interior point in Connecticut, who had planned to take a train leaving about 7.30 p. m., from thc same depot where our train was advertised tu ar rive atdp. m.-a sufficient leeway surely. The change from hope to de spair which was clearly depicted upon the mother's face as con Hiding esti mates were made to. her from time tu time hv Ibo trainmen was truly piti able. A stranger to New York, her distress, when lt finally became evi dent that tho last train which could carry her to her destination that even ing had departed, was apparent -a distress induced, I think, by a realiza tion of thc extent her scanty purse must be depleted by staying uver night in New Yurk. "All her suffering, all thc anxiety of hundreds of friends of thc passen gers was Caused unnecessarily, and was solely due to the callous indiffer ence of thc company to the rights of its passengers, and was a violation of thc contract it had entered into with them. The rights of thc passengers were nullified; trouble, inconvenience, annoyance and worry were caused to ?many, merely because au oilleial of .thc company wished to keep some ap pointment iii New York. AN'OTI?KK ?U?ASON. "There is'another reason why p.ub iiio oflleials should not accept passes. ??The cost of these favors li burne by those who pay for their tickets. How great thc oust of this free service may be is suggested in thc letter from the .ex-president uf thc State Har Associa tion already quoted Others have doubtless had his experience of be?b? a passenger where a large proportion had passes. The cost In the aggregate must be enormous and indicates how ! pre valen t is the practice and thc ex tent to which it lias permeated official liff. D15NIAI. OF EQUAL RIGHTS. "To those who regard the Jeffer sonian philosophy of 'equal rights to all, special privileges to none,'nob as a glittering generality nor as a mere party shibboleth; butas a vital, living principle, applicable at all times to the affairs" of men, thc 'gl ving br rc-' celvlng of passes ls peculiarly objec tionable, as they realize the practice ?operates as a bulwark tallie undemo icratlc system, of'f?rra?ig' but Govern ment functions to private individuals. The fact that a railroad, telegraph or telepiione system cannot exist without the graut of special privileges-the granting of which is a denial of the equal rights of others-proves that the function is governmental ?ind should be carried ou by the people for thc good of all. POLITICAL DEBAUCHERY. "Special-privilege corporations,such as lriter-State railroads? surface and elevated lines in our large cities, have been the most prolilic cause of thc de moralization and the debaueliery of American politics, municipal as well as national. The pass has not rn fre quently been the first Insidious step toward that debauchery. Good gov ernment will not be had until this cancer is removed and the whole sys tem uprooted."-Baltimore Sun. A Non hern Woman'** ViOW. A New York woman writes as fol? fows to the Ihnghampton, New York, Herald: "We have heard enough pleas for the poor negro; let us now hear something for the children, the beautiful, Innocent, young girls, knowing and thinking no wrong, crowned with virgin innocence and purity, flitting about their homes like stray sunbeams from Heaven, when suddenly this dark, nameless horror falls upon them and thc sunlight of love and Heavcu is last in a fate in finitely worse than death. Let us hear semethipg of the happy homes which these negro ravishers have de,r stroyed, the fathers and mothers'who are bowed to the earth- with in supportable angujsii'?nd a horror so great that ..^delight of day and the mercy QjffGod seem a mockery to them. kjMic?i law is irregular aud unlawful, "imt so is the crime which is avenged. Thero ls but one way. Just so lon? as white girls.are ravished by black llends just so long will negroes be burned at the stake. Let them read the writing on Hie wall. "Let white girls alone," for just so long as they commit this crime the fathers, broth ers and sons will arise in their wrath I and scourge them from the face of the earth. Thc law ls to protect law abinding citizens. Lynching is to avenge wrongs so deep, dark and hellish that no torture that can bc in flicted is commensurate with Hie crime. If the negroes will let white girls alone they can enjoy wi Uh other ci ti/ ns the equal justice of our law." Wc are glad to see the Northern peo ple taking thc right view of thc lynching question. Some of their women have suffered at the hands of the black rape fiend, and conse quently they see thc crime tn an alto gether different aspect from what tiley formerly did. SIXTY years ago thc Prince of Wales was born worth 8000,000 a year. Par liament lidded $200,000 more a year, when he wedded at 22. Some twenty seven years later pari lament added 81X0,000 more a year to keep his cost ly family. Also, his wife drew $50, 000 a year for thirty-seven years. All this made a family incom' to the prince of $7110,000 a year. Mut now as King l?dward VII, he get* nearly : three times as much, over $5,000 a day.

Lahatteapd who said be bailed from Augusta, t?a., drdrarued up a riuuiber of advertisements to go ?n a railroad memorandum time book, an edition of 1,000 copies of which be proposed to have printed und. placed with au attache or tho Southern Rail way here to bo given out tb engineers, coud uctors, brakemen, bremen and railroad men generally. He contracted with'a local j?bolllcc to print him only 250, which were finished and turned over to him Wednesday. Ile took a Tow samples of the book and wont out to make his collections, telling his patrons that be had complied with ali the requirements of his contract and he had nearly realized all ot his money, about $iao, whop one advertiser re fused to pay bi Torc having proof of the number printed and made a per sonal investigation to lind that only 250 copies had hoon ordered. This let the cat out of the bag and telephones wore kept hasy spreading the news among the lambs of how they had been sheared. . The aforesaid lambs wero now no longer deaf before their shearer. One advertiser who bad been caught to thc amount of $20 demanded it back of the follow under threat of haying him subjected to the pains and penalties of the" law. The police were called in and the fakir, now thoroughly alarmed, was com pelled to disgorge every cent, of his collections, which were returned to thc swindled ones, making them both glad and sorrow, too. Not only was a swindle worked In the number of copies printed, but the same space was sold to three di li?rent advertisers, two of them paying $8 and the the other $20 for the same space. This was managed by having thc unsuspecting printer to shift thc ads. and print a few each way, which the fakir exhibted to the subscribers abd secured bis money on. The young man was accompanied by a clerical looking gentleman who said be was bis father. Nobody knows whether to connect him, however, with the swin dle worked by the younger man. It is not necessary to try to point a moral I or adorn a, talc out of this episode. Tiley are top obyiou.s for, comment.

Sin ops to Small Th,ill?;S. j Ijf there was anything lacking to ?prove to the country that President Roosevelt was a man of small caliber^, it has been supplied by his treatment of Gen. AJLiles, who was retired last week from the head of the United States Army after a service of forty two years, l t has never been doubted by those familiar with all of thc facts that Secretary Root has always had thc greatest admiration for Gen. Miles as a soldier and bad matters been left in Mr. Root's hands thc gen eral would have retired with Hying colors iustead of with lin unprecedent ed snub. "Mr. Root wanted Gen. Miles to have thc honor of -dng the last commanding general cf ?nc army, as congress intended and issucl an or der which clearly indicated that the command was to bc discontinued. At ; thc same time he prepared ai?arew?ll Jotter to Gen. Miles whi4^vn?^&??v' the most laudatory type. Without referring to thc unpleasantness of re- : ?cent years Mr. Root complimented ? Gen. Milos warmly as an olllccr and a great commander, praised his' heroic deeds and commented on thc example bc luid set for every soldier and the army in general. Air. Root took the letter to Oyster Hay and submitted it to thc President. Mr. Roosevelt tore up thc letter aud ordered that a re ti renient of thc coldest aud most for mal style bc issued and that Gen. Young bc appointed to the command of thc army for six days so that Gen. Miles would be deprived of the honor which congress intended bim to have. One feature of thc ceremonies attend ed Gen. Miles' retirement was Gen. Young's violation of the regulation of the army. Though thc law provides that there shall never bc more than one lieutenant general on thc active list and it had been otllcially an nounced that Gen. Miles would not retire until' twelve o'clock, Gen. Young took the oath of ol?lee as lieu tenant general at ten o'clock and when be called to pay his last respects to Gen. Miles bc wore the three stars of a lieutenant general. Consequent ly for two hours Thursday there were two lieutenant generals of the army which is expressly prohibited by law. Gen.

The liabilities aro tlxed nt 9374,850, and assets $150. Most of the liabilities .are secured. The history of Edward L. Dwyer reads like a romance. He was born in Connecticut 43 years ago, and at tile agc or 25 went to Mexico, where ho realized a million dollars through tho development of the land in con struction of a railroad. Then ho went to Chicago and entered Into wheat speculation and for some time was known as .the "Napoleon or the wheat pit." In his wheatspeculatlon, it is said bc made several million dol lars, but tinnily lost all. In 1893 he met and married the , Duchess de Castelluchla, a New York I woman, who many years previously had been married to an Italian noble man. The ductless possessed many ?acres nf orange groves in Florida. She was 73 years of age and Dwyer 33. Not long after thc marriage Mrs. Dwyer died, leaving an estate of over $3,000,000. She bequeathed $10 or this amount to Dwyer. The will was fought for six years but finally was admitted to probate by the surrogate of New York city. After the death or his aged wife, Dwyer went all over the west organiz ing mining and land companies, muny of which arc said to have returned vast sums or money to the investors, of which he says he luis received lit tle or nothing. In 1000, Dwyer enlisted In the ma rine corps in thc Brooklyn navy yard for a lorin of three years and was sent to Manila where ho was known as thc "millionaire marine." Afteroneyear's j service, on the application or friends, bc recived an honorable discharge. SAD DEATH OF A BEIDE. Marled Only Ono Hour Whoo She Breathed Her Liast. Two notices appeared in thc News and Courier of Thursday, and ali who read them, whether knowing any of the parties concerned or not, must have been touohed. The first told of the j marriage ot two young people the sec ond gave notlco ur the death of thc bride. It was a very sad little story, involving life and love and death, all, it seemed, in one chapter, and in the city many spoke of lt and breathed a sigh for thc husband, bereaved while the minister's words were still ringing in his ears. It was Wednesday evening that Charles Calhoun Tylee and Annie S. Malone, having deceided to wait no longer on a convalescence that did not hasten, and rising from a hedor illness thc girl, who had plighted lier troth to the young man or her choice, stood beside him, supported by his strong arm, and said in a clear and unhesi tating voice the words that made them one, "while life doth last." There were but few rrlends present and thc ceremony prescribed by the Ephoopal Church was conducted by the Rev. A. E. Cornish, rector of St. John's, Hampstead. The bride was especially bright, consldcing her Ill ness, and, the family and friends were thinking that maybe the new condi 'SoTTTTli^'d the strengthened bonds of love would prove a medicine more powerful than all others and stay the hand of the llcapcr that had already cast his grim shadow in the home. When the ceremony was over Mr. and M.r.s. Tylee prepa red tn leave their house, and In a very short time were at Nu 93 Nassau street, where every thing had been arranged for the hon e coining of his bride. The door was opened and scarce past the threshold the two had passed when, with a sigh, the wire of but an hour passed away in lier husband's arms. Mr. Cornish, who had been called away soon after the marriage, receiv ed another message a little later and hastened tu thc house where Mr. and Mrs. Tylee had gone, and there stood bedside the bedside c. be bride. Friday afternoon the friends who had attended the wedding Wed nesday night saw the fair young bride in her wedding gown, still and cold in the embrace of death,and followed her to lier last resting place. Miss Malone was a niece of Mr. and Mrs. Vincent lt. Salvo and the mar riage took place at their residence, No 28 Hanover street.

Durbin of Indiana ise.v ! changing compliments with President Roosevelt on thc effort of the Gover nor to suppress lawlessness in bis State, there is circulating about the chief city of thc State, Indianapolis, an appeal to the white people to keep the negroes in political sn liordi nation in ludiana. ? The circular says that If decent white people want to continue to live in peace and security they must unite to eliminate the negro as ,a political factor. The circular pro ceeds thus: To speak fraukly, Indianapolis is suliering from an experiment that has been tried many times in history and never once with success. - Wherever the Caucasian and the African have been "required to live together the lower bas always been subordinated to the higher type; the negro has been required to live as the white mao would permit him to live. From anoint Cairo to modern Indianapolis thc results of the experiment have been unerring. Thc black race today sub ordinated to tlic white race in South Africa, in the Southern State of the American Union, and wherever, in deed, thc two races, In large numbers, come in intimate contact with one another. In commenting on thc above the Charleston Post makes a good point when it says thc President should follow bis letter to Gov. Durbin on lynching with another >to the same plllclal on thc political rights of the negro and the opening of the door of hope, and he should emphasize his attitude by appointing colored post master at lndinapolls." The Post must want to get thc President lynch ed. If you are not wi .'. .-*??! "*ant to know thu truth about your trouble, sena tor my free booklets und sett examination blanks.

' until he resigned to move to Greenville, says: Greenville, S. C., October 10,1002.; After a service of one season at White Stone Lithia Springs, as resident, physician, I do not hesitate to say that the cirect of the water upon tiloso -who >'. drink it for any length of time, bas been perfectly marvelous. Invariably, am . increase both in llesh and appetite was perceptible in one week, proving it:to> he a mineral water of undoubted powerful tonic property. Its peculiar adapt ability to diseases originating from disorders of tue Kidneys, bladder and Jiver,, such as dropsy, Bright's disease, diabetes and urie acid calculi, and all forms bf ? dyspepsia, rheumatism and gout, is to be expected from the splendid analysis.', lt hos been noted frequently that visitors before coming here had to follow/ ?every meal wi til some form of corrective, or contine themselves entirely^ ,t?? ' predigested foods; soon discarded these entirely, being delighted to find thats the water alone-nature's own remedy-su diced. Of the many who drank this water this season for ten days consecutively? notone but experienced decided benefit and a perceptible gain weight, varying'. from two to live pounds. L. C. STEPHENS. M. D.
