Wasminarow, D, C, March 17.— Senator Callon, one of the promoters of the Interstate Commerce bill, while passing along Newspaper Row to-day ran against & number of correspon- dents, and the result was quite a long interview about the bill in general, but more particularly with reference to the enforcement of the clause relat- ing to the continuance of commutation of excarsion tickets, which, as main- tained by some, prohibits the issuance of such tickets. Senator Callon said he did not so interpret this clause, and expressed the opinion that nothing in the act could apply to the issuance of commutation tickets. “There ap- pears,” the Senator said, “to exist also a misunderstanding in regard to the issuance of passes ; but it was our in- tention to include that matter, If a railroad company should see proper to pay for its advertising by free transportation, as no doubt has bees the custom (except that heretofore For this 8=day Strike Clock, with ° Alarm Attachment, Nothing inserted for less than 30 cents, a ticket would be a gratuity.

Ia no sense are tickets to newspaper publishers or editors issued in payment of advertising either “free” or “compii- mentary” tickets. This journal has therefor in transportation on special tickets. The inter-State Commerce bill does not prohibit such interchange of business. If it did it it would be = such law unconstitutional. For one leading railroad the Chronicle has published, within the past three years, over 3000 lines of reading matter, in the nature of advertising, for which such contract or such mothod of pay- fact, Section 22 of that bill inferenti- ally authorizes such contracts and such peculiar tickets, whether called passes or by any other name, viz, bandling of property free or at reduced able purposes, or to or from fairs and expositions for exhibition thereat, or ing in this act shall be construed to to get $100,000 there, watchman sod clerks accompany the wagon as a guard, and a receipt is given at the mint after the money is counted and weighed there.

If Senator Brown had not construed the bill as interfering with the pass system and insisted upon his amend- ment, which provides for the issuance of halfrate tickets to clergymen, nothing would have been said about passes. In my opinion, however, it is time to have these matters adjusted. If & railrosd company gets a special rates for advertising it should give special facilities to those who give the rates, etc. There is nothibg in the bill which absolutely prohibits the issuance of passes. The whole thing is an interference, but will I suppose, be taken advantage of in many in- stances,” “I understand,” said one of the eor- respondents, “that the newspapers will now keep more accarate accounts with the railroads.” Should they do this,” said the Senator, “they will come out shead.

Is a ticcot paid for or contracted to be paid for a “free” ticket ?

The courtesy in the relations between the oditor and the railway official consists in polite and friendly reciprocity, an interchange of mutual benofits—a genteel and accom- modating guid pro quo, by which on the one hand the journalist or publisher renders certain defined and undefined services to the railway company, in the How It Is Done.
