SATURDAY EVENING, DEC. 31, 1881.
Free Passes.
President Roberts, of the Pennsylva
nia railroad, has long been known as an
opponent of the free-pass system, and
under his administration it has been
much restricted en his read. It is new
announced that the direction have de
termined with the .New Year te still
further limit the passes granted, and it
is a determination which will meet with
warm approval from the community as
well as from the stockholders. There is
no geed reason why free transportation
should be given te anyone who is net
traveling en the business of the read. It
is contrary te public policy and an in
jury te private rights. The new consti
tution prohibits the issue of free passes
te any but employees of the read ; and
there is little doubt that the Pennsylva
nia railroad is Drought under the
cognizance of this and all the ether pro pre
visions of that instrument by reason of
the beneficial legislation which it has ac
cepted since it was adopted. It would
therefore be but a compliance with the
law en the part or its managers te refuse
passes te all who are net in their employ.
Their present step is net stated te be as
radical as this en tiie main line of the
read, but the privilege is no longer te be
extended te te the families of the favored
beneficiaries.
The readiness with which railroad
passes are accepted by honorable people
is very surprising. These who would
net think of accepting :i gift of money
or any ether thing of value from
strangers will fake a pass net only with
contentment, but with great gratifi
cation ; and people who would
be lierilied at the idea of violat
ing the law are in no way re
strained by the express direction of the
fundamental law of the state from rid
ing free upon a railroad upon which
they are only permitted te se ride by
admitting that they are in its employ ;
an admission which ought te be very em
barrassing te governors, legislators, su
preeo judges and the ether officers of
the state, nearly all of whom make it in
effect every time they present the
pass which nestles in their pocket books
and which i.s se dear te their affections.
Newspaper editors ought te be equally
disturbed by their possession, but they
liave a proverbially " hard cheek'' and
tough conscience,
the Pennsylvania
The new order of
directors will bear
heavily upon the craft ; but they will
profit in the long run by jeinimr the
ranks of the common travelers who
pay their way and se only go abroad
when they need te. We can give them
this assurance from experience, as we
have long preferred te pay our fare
rather than describe ourselves as rail
road employees.
The Old Year.
Te the elaborate and comprehensive
reviews of the local and general events
of the closing year, which we print to
day, as prepared especially for the lN
telmuenueii, wc need add nothing in
the way of comment or reflection. They
s;eak for themselves and the events
which are here noted chronologically,
and which were reported in detail at the
time of their occurrence in these col cel
umns,havc mere than a temporary inter
est. In a hasty glance ever them it will
b3 seen that the year was te the world at
1 irge one of rather melancholy interest,
bing especially marked by the assassin
ation of the heads of two of the leading
governmental powers and by a dreuth of
wide extent and great severity,
materially affecting the agricultura1
products, the basic element of
' wealth. In the cycle of fires and
floods, plague and epidemics, mortality,
accident and crime, the year justified
the gloomy prophecies of Mether Shipteu
for it ; and, all in all, at home and
abroad, it has been feverish, sensational
and destructive in the general drift of
its events.
Notwithstanding all this there have
been general prosperity, activity in
manufacturing and stability in business,
as well as peace among the leading na
tions of the earth, all of which some
what mitigates the mere dire features of
1SS1 and makes us mere hopeful for its
successor, whose feet is new at the deer.
Wc sincerely wish health, peace and
prosperity te all our readers, and the
rest of mankind for the coming twelve
month, and we trust that at its close,
looking backward or forward, we can
then, as new, wish them A IlArrv New
Year.
We spoke prematurely in crediting
New Yerk with being ahead of Phil
adelphia in schemes te " beat " the en
fercement of justice, because of our ob
servatien that a convict there had hired
a man te personate him and serve his
term in jail. In Philadelphia it has been
discovered that Phincas Tayler, a va
grant, and Jehn Mulligan, committed
en a charge of larceny, came te an
amicable understanding and treaty te
swap situations, Tayler taking a few
days in the county prison in exchange
for Mulligan's agreeing te serve
his six months in the house of
correction ;and Tayler thought he had
a geed bargain until he found himself
also arraigned as Mulligan en a charge
of larceny. It was only when the wit
nesses called couldn't identify him that
the fraudulent exchange which the effi
cials had allowed was discovered. Phil
adelphia gees te the head of the class
again.
Ir f he Pennsylvania railroad manage
ment de net speedily take effective
measures te keep their freight trains
from running into one another they had
better consider the expediency of leasing
their read te some one who will under
take te keep the trains apart ; for it can
not pay very well te have se many cars
destroyed and. se many trains delayed by
a blocked-up read. It would seem te. be
easy enough te keep freight trains apart
which fellow one another at freight train
low speed. If they are never permitted
te get closer together they will never get
together; and if the trains are tee
numerous te be kept at a safe distance
apart mere tracks need te be laid or ether
railroads chartered or less freight carried.
The Philadelphia Ledger is getting
vicious. It says of some election 'i eturn
scamps, who have just secured a court
decision in their favor, that they " are
still in luck,but they are in ether courts."
That is te say, they are net in the court
of Judge Biddle, where Meuat came
te grief: but in that of Judge Elcock,
whence Meuat was dragged out with se
much difficulty. It would seem that
there is here an opportunity ferjudge
Elcock te talk te the Ledger ; for if its
suggestion does net have the tendency
te bring nim into public odium and con
tempt it must only be because nothing
the Ledger can intimate will de that :
which he can hardly think.

Tin: Philadelphia l'imcs is se well
pleased at the detection, conviction and
sentence of three jury-fixers in less than a

The Pottsville Keening Chronicle, edited
by W. Kennedy, esq., and one of the in
telligent and independent Democratic
dailies, announces that it will net beat
about the bush in faveriug a preposition
that the Democratic convention, when it
meets, should leave ene or mero important
positions open te be filled by nominations

ciii.cns wiie may loci inclined te co-operate

The JVt'ie Era new finds objections te
Hearer, net only that he led the Grant
column at Chicago and misrepresented the
people of his distiict, but likewise that in
a late speech before some .Confederate sol
diers at Carlisle, he said : " There wure
seme things about your cause that we can
sec te-day, and say honestly, fairly and
truly that they were hard te get ever." Be
fore long the Km may be finding further
objections te Beaver, but they will all be
overlooked after the Cameren convention
has nominated him.
Tiieki: is at least one Stalwart editor in
Pennsylvania wlie is net se entirely wcll

ly praise Republicanism and its history,
and yet condemn as a selfish "junta" the
men who have led in the success and glory
of the party and made it all it is in this
distinctively Republican state of Pennsyl
vania. Tin: Philadelphia llccerd, which often
breaks out with that sort of enterprise,
has made the exclusive discovery that the
Stalwarts, in addition te Reaver's candi
dacy for governor, have Jeseph Patterson,
of Philadelphia, a Grant Democrat, in
reserve for the same nomination, Win.

The " Democratic editor" of the Ex

sue. He declares the policy of that late
Republican organ te be condemnation of
"the tendency te call upon the high powers
of the government en every pretext te de
something which is better for us te de
ourselves ;"' that "there is some danger
that the present session of Congress may
be a great deal tee lavish in promoting
schemes of internal inpreventent ;" and he
proudly recalls the fact that while net
one American iron steamship new cresses
the ocean from New Yerk, a little ever

ministration three-fourths of 'our trade
was done by our own ships.
