THE TICKET QUESTION.
CoKTINFNTAl, IIOTM.,
I'iM.RT'n News Ejchaho and Tickut Aorkot,
November 24, 1906.
1 (he KHiUrr of The Evening- leUyraph t
Gentlemen: The article which have recently
appeared to tho dally papers of this city In 1 re
ference to "speculating In tickets" for amuse
ments, bo strongly indicated that I am the per
son alluded to by the writer, as to induec me
to lay before the public a tew facts concerning
one portion of my business; and I am willing
to roaVe such a statement concerning in y busi
ness, iecling confident that no one, in thi9 city
at least, could, even with tho knowledge thus
given, become my siicce.-Fful rival. Among my
many customers are the, loading gentlemen of
this city, who, findin their time too valuable
to warrant them going to the bos otllce of a
theatre or concert-room, commission ine to
seoure for them reserved seats.
Again, the majority of these gentlemen are
business men. They are aware that the box
olficeaof the different place ot amusement open
at 10 o'ctook A. M. and clo at 3 o'clock P. M.,
which, for a man ot business, is both too late in
rbc morning and too early in the afternoon.
With me. however, they can leave their orders
for tickets as they pass down early to their
stores; or, as they eo home in the evening, tbey
can, up to halt-past 7 o'clock, obtain as choice a
ticket as If they bad called in the morning. This,
certainly, is an accommodation to business men,
which they alone can appreciate.
Finding that I have enterprise enough to
secure lor them the best seats, they have always
paid me a commission for the work performed.
As this is an every-dav occurrence, I have the
satisfaction of both pleasing my customers and
putting money in my purse the true aim of
every business man.
In a hotel like this, there are always a large
number of transient guests, who, from the facr
that they are siraucvrs in the city, ask me in
reference to the different places ot amuemcnt,
and also desire the most eligible seats for the
ditlerent entertainment-. It is almost unneeea
swy for n e to add that I trlve them the advice
irratis, and charge a fair premium for the choice
tickets whirh my enterprise alone has secired
for them. They are grut?ful for the accommo
dation I am satisfied with the profit
By this statemebt it is apparent to you and
the public that I conduct my business iu a satis
factory manner, both for my regular and tran
sient customers, which, together with a desire
to accumulate a fortune, is my only aim as a
business man. Like other members of the
business world, I transact business first lor my
own benefit; but, in case of any overplus, I will
onerouelv donate it to some benevolent object,
i know that there are persons in this city and
perhaps the writeis of the articles above alluded
to arc among them who think I keep this
stand merely for the sole accommodation of
those who have nut time to purctiase their
amusement tickets in the morning, or their
f upcrs at the ditTorenl offices of public ition.
n one sense I do an accommodating business,
but I flatter myself that I make the accommo
dation a mutual benefit as between John C. Kis
(cy and the public. If 1 did not, I should find a
news exchange and ticket agency as unprofitable
as soliciting subscriptions for benevolent
wbjects.
l)o the proprietors publish their papers solely
for the benefit ot the public ? If not, why not?
If I should insist on paying them a dollar per
line for an advertisement, would they not take,
itf If the public should bo so desirous of read
ing the newspapers as to be willing to pay ten
instead of three cents per copy, would not the
price of the paper be raised immediately upon
the evidence of such an uraer.t public demand t
Is not alt trade regulated by s.ipply and de
mand? If you have an article tor sale you are
generally willing to take all you can get lor it,
etpeciaif; if your customer is satisfied to give
you the price demanded. I do not solicit cus
tom, because 1 find that custom seeks the most
enterprising man. If parlies do not wish to pay
me lor sei vices performed, I have no objection
to their occirpv ing poor seats or standing-room
tn any of our places ot amusement; that is their
business, not mine.
In conclusion, I would state that I shall have
for sale a number of the !est seats for Histori's
performances; but I shall not sell them lor the
ame pnoc for which they can bo obtained on
the evening of the performance.
If, after these foregoing statements, any one
should believe himself capable of starling a suc
cessful business in opposition to myself, I iuvile
his competition, and will allow him several
years in which to prove his ability before I
make proposals to bV hiin out. Thus, while
I invite competition, I do not believe it could
be succewlul. tceltns confident that my many
Vatrons believe me to be all that I claim io be,
The public's faithful servant,
John C. Rislky.
LETTER FROM BALTIMORE.
Sequel to the Politico-Police Troubles
Judges of the Late Election Claim of
fjoyal Slave-Owners Against the Gov
eminent LfgUlatlvcJCaucun, Etc.
VIMKO TELEGRAPH SPECIAL CORRKBrONlWSSCE.
Baltimore, November 25. It is asserted, upon
what nitty be deemed reliable authority, thai
Messrs. i'oung and Valliant, the new Police
Ceminlt-sioncrs. and Slieritf Thompson, design
bringing suit against Judee Bond, of the city
Criminal Court, and the old Police Hoard, lor
damages and false imprisonment. This case,
when it comes up tor trial, will excito more
Ihan ordinary interest. A variety of nice points
ol law are involved, as well with regard to the
powers of the police as to those of the judiciary.
Whatever may be the political opinions of
Judge Bond, enthusiastic as he is in workiner,
heart and soul, lor what he conscientiously
thinks right, no one doubts his houesty of pur
pose. Ii he errs, it is from the head, not the
heart. Socially, he is a gentleman in every
sense of the word. That he nas been, and is, an
uncompromising Union man, there is abundant
evidences-. This is a fault only iu the eyes of
those whose loyaltv is doubtful a thine which
the Judge haa suflicient independence' to dis
regard. One thing is certain, those who have
been the true triends of our country those who
battered :gainst treason, and tinally subdued it,
would rather trust htm to-day than they would
his enemies.
The judges of the Tocent 6th of November elec
tion are likely to gt into trouble. Some ot
them have already been prosecuted for damages,
because they refused the vote of certain parties
whom they considered distoyal. One suit of
this kind is now pending, and upon its final de
cision may depend many others. If judges of
the election are to be held responsible and
mulcted with heavy damaees for an independent
expression ol opinion, and conscientious render
in? ot official judgment, then, indeed, is their
position onorou and unprofitable. The case of
Blscoe vs. the Juices of tho Nineteenth Ward,
on trial for some dajs, before Justice Forrester.
for $300, for refusing UjB vote, will be decided,
on Tuesday. Thi Is to be made a test.
The Government has rccutly appointed three
new Comuiiu8ioner9 to ioru a, Board, winch will
bold its sessions iu BalttiLore, to decide upon
the claims of loyal slave-oiers In Maryland.
Delaware, and West Virginia, w.0se slaves were
enlisted In the United States aruii and who are

$300 for each slave. It is believed, however,
that in consequence of the late political tXatun
Assumed by our State and Delaware, Oongrtss
may feel 1cm incl'neo to favor them, and there
fore repeal the law, leaving it to these Common
wealths, as well as Kentucky, Missouri, and
West Virginia, to provide lor the payment of
slave-owners out of their own State treasuries.
There was a meeting of the city delegates
elect to the ICsiebUure ou Saturday night last,
at Governor Swanu's residence, in thh citv. It
was entirely private; called for consultation,
chiefly, in reference to railing an eitra session
of the Legislature, and to conduit about ome
oHic matters. The Governor made quite a long
speech, in which he announced, positively, his
opposition to the extra session. He believed
there was no necessity lor It that if time wa
too short at the regular session, he bad power
to entend it.
He fuither asserted there was really no inten
tion of impeaching President Johnson; that It
was all talk, gotten up bv trold eamolers, specu
lators in stocks, and ambitious politicians.
There is, however, a determination to revolu
tionize the so-called radical s'atus of Baltimore,
so as to turn out Mayor Cnapman, and secure a
new election. The conservatives do not want
to have this city against them. They are de
sirous, also, of reorganizing the Courts, and of
turning out Juee Bond, as well as all the olher
Unconditional Union judges, clerks, and other
judiciary officials.
The course of lectures uow going on at the
Pcabody Institute are attractine much atten
tior, and promise to be very instructive.
There is a perfect uror of excitement in refer
ence to the advent of Ristorl. Every seat in
Holliday Street Theatre has already been taken
tor hi r entire engagement. Unless she plays a
second cnjrngement,oue-half ol those anxious to
see her will not have an opportunity.
The weather is quite cold. We now have
occasional slight sprinkles of snow.
Business very dull, and somewhat of a panic
in till branches of trade. "Bono."

Impoktant Anniversary. To-morrow

ol the twenty-fourth anniversary of the Mercan
tile Beneficial Association of this city, an insti
tution that embraces within its membership not
only nearly every prominent merchunt of Phila
delphia, but hundreds of young gentlemen who
arc in their employ. The object of ttie society
is such as to forcibly commend itself, especially
to those who are in their noviciate in ousincss,
with a reputation yet to establish and a fortune
to make; and we earnestly suggest that every
young man who intends in the future to devote
himself to commercial pursuits, should take the
earliest opportunity of becoming a member of
the same. If we may Judge from the programme,
and the high reputation of the orators for the
occasiou, i he Academy ot Music to-morrow
