CLEVELAND'S PLAN" TnAT DIDKT WOBK
tSFfCHl. TELEQttVM TO TOE DISrATCH.J
WX&iuxgton; Jfav SJ. A Rre.it deal
Was published during the. absence of the
Prcsulentel party 02 the swing around the
circle about the cost of the railroad travel,
tvnd there hatf been j. jrre.it many- state
ments puHisiied to the effect that this or
that Republican vms "paying the freight."
George M. Pullman, the millionaire sleep
ing car proprietor, ras one of the generous
friendi of this President irho'nas credited
with paying the bills of the railroad companies.
All of these btatements arc wild. There
vere no railroad bills to pay, and therefore
no one paid am railroad bills. When the
President of the United States travels in
hi capacity as a citizen and not in his offi
cial capacity, he travels as a guest of the
railroads. Grover Cleveland did this, and
all cf his predecessors did the same. Mr.
Cleveland, when the inter-State commerce"
law went into effect, began to pay his fare
on the railroads; but he did not do so long.
It Looked Too 1'unnj.
It was rather ridiculous for the Presi
dent's private secretary to walk up to the
ticket office of the railroad company and
buy five or six first-class tickets from Wash
ington to New York at $0 apiece to pay the
expense of a special train of luxurious
parlor cars which cost the Pennsylvania
Hailroad Company several hundred dollars
to run. So, after a time, President Cleve
land abandoned this rather sentimental
custom and did as his predecessors had
done.
It oiild not be possible for the President
of the United States, unless he was a very
rich man, to pay for the accommodations
which the railroad companies furnish hini
when hegoe: on an evtonded trip. And
any railroad company, for the sake of its
own reputation, would not be willing to
!iaethe President travel like an ordinary
tourist. It Mould take tons of thousands of
dollars to re-emburse tiiat railroad for the
1 damage it would sutler if the President of
the United Mates should be injured while
traveling on its line. It U to the interest
of the railroad company, therefore, to make
the i. resident as ecure as possible m jour
neying, and it is a good advertisement for
the conipauj 10 make him as comfortable as
possible.
f Would Fay Tor the Privilege,
I The President is a guest of the railroad
I companies by ihoe lines he tra els, and
I then is alw.ns competition between them
I lor his pitronage. On (he suing around
the smaller circle which the President made
last Jail Mr. Ilishop. t!i agent of the Chesa
peake and Ohio Itailroad, made all the ar
rangements lor transportation, and with one
exception there as not a railroad on the
route eo ercd which did not strive for the
pri ilejrc of carr mg the Presidental party.
Tliis o;.p exception sent in through its gen
eral passenger a nt a bill for transporta
tion. T1k J'r snlent knew nothing ot this.
2Co litembT of hi immediate party knew
ain thing ol it If the bill had been pre
sented to the Presidmt it would have been
paid promptly. Rut before it could reach
1.1m the President of the railroad company
heard of it and recalled it In no other in
Ftance Mas an effort made to collect trans
portation expenses from the Presidental
party.
m J2k-ircsidcnt of the United States could
evil spend the whole of his annual salary
on a trip like tliat which Mr. Harrison has
just completed. There is no reason why he
should spend that amount, though, or in fact
any large amount. The railroads along the
route rccognire the fait that the President's
coming increase their immediate business,
nnd they not onl offer the Picsidcnt cwry
accommodation by arranging their tram
schedules so as to accommodate the Presi
dental party, but the take extraordinary
' Precautions Against Accident.
These precautions represent the greater
part of the exptnst of carrying, the Presi
dental part; On the Chesapeak-e and Ohio
railro Klfor c-vaniplc, v hen the President
t ent Wot o cr that line the enormous coal
traffic of 'he companj Mas side-tracked for
the niht so as to in'ure a clear track and
absolute freedom from the possibility of a
collision while the Presidental traiu was
passing o er the line. The Chicago, Bur
lington and Qniney railroad in liandling the
Presidental party cleared its track and ran
a pilot engine "the minutes ahead of the
Presidental train. The actual cost of trans
porting a party like that of the President,
is small compared with the cost of providing
against accident. But the railroad compa
nies all look upon this-as a good investment.
Before the President went West on his
recent trip Mr. Boyd, of the Pennsylvania
llailroad Company, who had the arrange
ments for the trip in charge, had received
telegrams from every railroad o er which
the President might possibly w ish to travel,
extending hini a cordial invitation to be its
guest on his lourney. The President did
not see these telegrams, and in fact knew
nothing of them." The transportation ar
rangements were left in the hands of Mr.
Boyd and if at the end of the journey he
had handed the President a bill for trans
portation ner the route it would have been
paid with great promptness, though possibly
with considerable heartache.
Transporting for the Goi eminent.
The railroads are not so modest when they
hae the Go eminent to deal with. When
the senate or the House of Bepresentatives
sends a committee out through the country
to investigate our relations -with Canada or
the cost ol the transportation of meat prod-
railroads collect full fare for the entire
party. Tor example, when the select Com
Inittee on delations with Canada went to
Boston two years ago, the Pennsylvania
P.jilroad Company sold them full fare tick
ets from Washington to New York, and the
Pullman Company collected 52 So each from
tbcni for stats 111 the parlor car from Wash
ington to. erse; City. When a deputy ser
geant at arms o'f the'Scnate is sent to sen e
a subpoena he bujs a railroad ticket and
iiays his sleeping-car fare like anyone else.
X is only when traveling over the subsi
dized Pacific railroads that the Government
officers travel free.
When a Senatorial funeral occurs the rail
road and sleeping car companies always pro
fit by it. For example, when Senator Beck was
buried the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad col
lected $1.5u3 2o for transportation of the
committee to Lexington and return, and for
the transportation "of the remains. The
Pullman Car Company collected ?390 for
the use of the three cars which the commit
tee occupied.
Thji titlle Jaunt to Alaska.
The heavy charges for transportation
"have caused the sub-committee of the Sen
ate Committee on Territories to abandon its
idea of going to Alaska this summer. This
Vas the pet project of Senator Piatt, who
proposes to take np at the next session of
'Congress the question of the government of
Alaska. Mr. Piatt believes that Alaska will
have to be a made a colony of the United
States as Algeria is a colony cf France, lie
wanted to take the other members of the
ci'iimittee to Alaska this summer to give
them some idea of the necessities
of tin country ".i ith aicv to concerting
them to his belief about its government.
He proposed first to take one of the naval
boats on the Pacific coast, but as this was
found to be impracticable a telegram wag
gent to the Oregon Railway and Navigation
Elbe use of -one-of-its boats for 30 days, The
price named in the telegraphic answer re
ceived was 522,000.
This staggered the committee, and after
consultation it was determined to abandon
the trip. The entire expenses of such select
committees in the long recess two years ago
was less than $40,000, and the Committee on
Territories did not feci like spending half
that amount on one item of transportation
tliis summer. So the trip has been aban
doned. 1
