Narrow Gauge Railroad.
EDITOR EXPRESS: "Fair Play," who turns out to be my old friend E. B. Allen again appears in your columns and insists that I shall once more come into court and answer his amended complaint against the narrow gauge railway. I had hoped that one answer from me would have been sufficient, and I was content to let the matter rest, but as he urges so strongly that I shall further answer, I will do so with pleasure but in so doing, I want it to be borne in mind that this is a controversy by the advocates of the broad gauge against the narrow gauge, and which is addressed to the people of Terre Haute—as they are called upon to give aid to the narrow gauge—and are the persons to be benefitted or injured by so doiug.
In my first article I insisted that our present railroad tariffs for freights and passenger travel were an oppression upon the people that they would not long submit to, Dut would sooner or later demand their reduction by positive law, and as our present railroads claimed that they could not make that reduction and live, I ask when and how were the people to get that relief? I urged that it was in the adoption of a gauge narrower than our present one. One that could save all the speed, comfort and carrying power of it. and yet do so at a saving of near one-half the expense in operating it, in the shape of wear and tear, and lighter machinery and superstructure, and hence would be able to give to the people the cheap rates that they would demand. How does he an sw^r that? By saying that my opinion is worth nothing, as 1 have never built a railroad, and because I admitted that narrow gauge railroads had never been tested in this country. Did I not say that they had been tested in Europe by the highest engineering talent and pro nounced a success—superior to roads of our gauge. If they have been found so superior there, upon a fair test, will he
[lease
answer why they will not do so jere. Did I not also say that the narnow gauge had been thoroughly invest! gated by the best engineering talent in the State ot Massachusetts, and pro nounced superior to our present gauge Can he, or will he deny that? If not, how can ho have the assurance to say that my opinion is worth nothing, when it is supported by the highest engineer ing authority, botli in Europe and America Has not the four feet eight and a half Inch gauge proved to the world that it could run faster, was safer, and would carry more with less expense than the six feet gauge? What then is there in the claim that three feet gauge Is as much superior to the four feet, eight and a half as the four feet, eight and a half is superior to the six feet? Is there anything unreasona ble in it? If so, why did he not point it out? His only answer is, that if a three feet gauge is so goodjwhy not make it still narrower. The answer to that is that there is a limit to all things, and the scientific world has shown that the three feet gauge is the true limit. Instead therefore, of meeting my argument squarely, he makes light of the narrow gauge and then goes off in a graud eulogy of our present gauge, giving us to understand that hundreds of millions of dollars have been invested in it. And then says, "that it is becoming general all over the whole country and by its Bystem of connections it is every day proving itself perfection." I admit it is in the shape of the monopoly, but in no other way. He must remember that the people have many hundred millions more invested in the general business interests of the country, that they are looking after, than the railroads have invested in the present gauge. And when the issue, as to cheap freights, is squarely made, and the present gauge can't stand the test and give the cheap freights required, it must and will give way to the one that can aud will do so, and no glittering words about its perfection will save it
But let us examine this perfection in gauge that he speaks of, and see how much the people of Terre Haute are ben efltted by it. When you ship your build ing material, fuel and the various articles that are consumed by your manufacturing establishments—to your city—or when you ship away from your city any of your manufactured articles, do you en joy much of the benefits of through freight tariffs or do they smell pretty strong of the local charges? When you ride on the cars how much better are you off? Suppose Mr. Burnett should wish to visit Indianapolis—he goes to your depot and meets the train direct from St. Louis, with elegant and luxurious through cars attached, forNew York. Hegets aboard and is ushered into one of the way cars, not near so fine or comfortable as the through cars, and is charged for his ride a little over four cents a mile, while the St. Louis gentleman, in the silver palace car, is charged but little over half the amount per mile that Mr. Burnett is for the same distance, because he is going to New York. Aud yet the St. Louis gentleman's riding costs the company near twice as much as Mr. Burnett's, for he is riding in a much heavier car that is never crowded, and with a large amount of baggage, while Mr. Burnett, with no baggage but a little hand-valise, is perhaps crowded all the way. What, then, does all this boasted elegance, luxury and perfection of through oounections amount to when auy of your people wish to travel along the line of some road, attending to their legitimate business? Do they see or enjoy many of the benefits pointed out by this through connection The St. Louis man did because he was going to New York, but Mr. Burnett did not because he was only going to Indianapolis, aud yet lie had to help pay for the St. Louis gentleman's ride. How is that some one will ask. This through freight and travel is a luxury that does not begin to pay for itself to the present gauge —so say railroad men—and they have to charge all these losses up to the local business. They therefore had to charge Mr. Burnett more than the St. Louis man in order to make up the loss on the St. Louis man's fare. Is the business and travel of Terre Haute through or local? My impression is that at least three-fourths of it is local, and your people have to pay upon that part of it these local fores and profits. Let me then ask how these through connections benefit your people as much as is claimed, fvhen every day's transaction proves the
contrary.
If our road was of tyw same
gauge as the others and made through connections at your city with them, could we ship to your city any cheaper than without the connections. Would your people receive any benefit from the through connections? For freight and travel through your city west or east there might be a slight difference, but how does that difference effect you? Friend Allen will say, in shipping your through business from NewYork. That is low enough now, and as cheap as we could do it, and we are content to let the other roads enjoy that luxury of through business. What Terre Haute wants is cheaper profits and fares on local business, and that is what we propose to give her, and can't we do that better with a narrow gauge road (that can be operated so much cheaper) than with a broad gauge? If the present railroad would do the local business ot your city, and charge for it, these through prices, then your people might begin to see the beauty of that "perfection in the present gauge," but until they do, I can't see that your people have much cause for rejoicing over it or very many regrets to express on account of our proposing to build a narrow gauge road that don't happen to make through connections with your other roads that charge these high local rates, or because it will be able to give you cheaper freights than they do.
I sometimes wonder why it is that all this opposition is made to this narrow gauge, when every one must see the immense benefits to be derived from it by your people. But when I reflect about the history of the railroads at your city, I am induced to believe that gauge is a mere pretext for opposition and not the true cause, for the reason that when the Indianapolis & Terre Haute road was built, some two years since, it was bitterly opposed—not on the ground of gauge, for it is the "simon pure"—but because it would create competition and lower freights. Is there not a good deal of method in all this madness and opposition to the narrow gauge, and Jwhen it is all understood, does not this question of competition low freights account for most of the milk in the "noccanut."
Friend Allen, in speaking of the benefits your city derives from the' Danville road, which comes in at one side of your city and goes out at the other, says "that is the beauty of having one gauge and not breaking bulk." I can't for the life of me seo auy "beauty" in it to your city. I can see beauty for Chicago and Evansville in the arrangement, but none for Terre Haute. As it is, Terre Haute does not reap one cent's worth of advantage from this through freight, but if the road was compelled to break bulk there, then it would, because it would then give your people some employment that they do not now have, and of course would leave some money in your midst that you do not now get.
In the reference that is made to the Wabash river, and our supplying coal through that medium to the "merchant at Chicago," I don't think friend Allen has done himself justice. Whoever talked aboutsupplying Chicago and other points in Central Illinois with coal by way of the Wabash river? I did not. I said by means of that river we could supply St. Louis, and all points south on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers cheaper than it could be supplied by the other railroads of your city, aud I still assert that it cau be done, and that too, without any slack water improvements. As a matter of course it would be better with them. The people of Terre Haute know the capacity of their river for freighting purposes, by means of barges and small tugs, as well as I can tell them, and certainly feel this great importance of the renewal of its business. I am, therefore, content to leave the plan of revival as suggested in my former letters, in connection with friend Allen's "flings" at it, entirely with them and abide cheerlully their decision
As to that stock raiser, that might want some cattle shipped, we would say that our freight cars will be seven feet wide, which is broad enough to ship the short-horned Durham and the common scrub, but for those "razor-blades" that have more horns than meat attached their carcasse1-', we will not have room for that kind ofstock it will take a broader gauge than ours. Friend Allen wants to Wnow that if this narrow gauge is sogood why Gen. Hunter does not put his hand in his own pocket and give freely of his own means to test this pet project. Let me assure him that I expect to give more toward it than auy man in Terre Haute is called upon to give, in proportion to the value of my property. Monroe county with taxable property valued at six mil lions, proposes to give the same amount to it—one,liundred thousand dollars—that Terre Haute, with her ten millions of property, is asked to give. And if neces sary I will subscribe liberally fn addition should more be required of me.
He also suggests that if Gen. Hunter has so much confidence in this being paying investment, that the projectors grade and cross-tie twenty-five miles of this road, and the city will then consider the idea of taking one hundred thousand dollars of its first mortgage bonds, to help equip it. Let me suggest that we pro pose doing more than he asks. We prn pose to grade, cross-tie, iron and equip twenty-five miles of the road and run train of cars over it before we ask your city to pay one cent, or to consider the propriety of taking one dollar of our first mortgage bonds. And we also agree to commence grading the road within thirty days after your city shall siguify its in tention to subscribe the hundred thousand dollars and to complete the road and have it in running order to Eel river within four months thereafter. Could any ople ask more of a company than that? think not, and we feel assured that Terre Haute will not.
In conclusion, let me assure friend Allen that this railroad controversy shall in no way interfere with our pe'rsonal relations, that have always been kind neither shall it interfere with my personal relations with any other man who has or may oppose it. It a is free country and any man has the right to speak and be heard.. No one will exercise that right more freely, or hold it more sacred than will. MORTON C. HUNTER.

not have missed a day nor an
hour nor a lesson, uor in any way received a 'black mark' during the entire year." This is painful. The amount of self-control necessary to have been absolutely perfect in deportment for Tour yeaffe is simply enormous. Much of the vitality and spirit which make perpetual youth the one thing to be desired, much of the grace and archness and abandon of nature must have been mercilessly suppressed. It was the same kind of management of self as that to which the true nun siibjects herself. We are heartily glad that this is the first case in twenty years, and trust it.will^be the last one for hundred years. Parents are largely responsible for such an. occurrence as this, but they are foolishly and cruelly ambitious for their children. These rewards of merit are not intended to produce such results. They are simply intended as a help toward the government of the school by developing a generous rivalry iu the matter of behavior. It is not expected that they will substitute for numan nature a monastic uniformity of perfection, as they seem to have done in the present instance.

In the family circle, beside and beyond all the teaching, the daily- life of each parent and child mysteriously modifies the life of every person in the household.

Others are built up and are strengthened by our unconscious deeds others may be wrenched out of their places and thrown down by our unconscious influence.
