The author of the Inter-State law baa declared that Its provisions do •ot apply to transactions begun and •nded within the boundaries of •tate. Then the reason alleged by the railways for recalling passes that ap­ ply only within atate lines does not Mi and Is a mere buncombe. How­ ever, the railways have a right ato call fa their passes if they want to. oven though tbe law does not compel them to do ao, and we should make no objec tions if all who have formerly received posses were given the same treatment But it transpires that the legislator* of the State, and their attaches, darks etc., have been furnished with "com plimeatary" passes, notwithstanding the great fear which the railways pre- for tbe Inter-State law, and the belief they allege that it prohibits the granting of soch passes except to per aons la the railway service. Do they regard the state legislature as 'persons In the railway service f' Has this re- grant of free transportation to |ho Sprlagfteld statesmen and their com mittee clerks any object in coooeotion "with the suppression of the two-cents a mile bill whieh was introdueed Into tte Illinois Legislature alter passes 'won withdrawn from and before tbey won re-iseued to the state legislators Is this tbe "railway service" they are to perform aa compensation for the mv passeaf From the standpoint of the railways, this new law is very olastic. Tbey withdraw passes from newspaper men paid for In advertising professing to bellere that tbe law compels them to do so; at the Bsmi time. In the face of the supposed law that they profess to fear, they Issue "complimentary" puses to members of the legislature and their henchmea. Surely this is a wonderful state of mind for the railways to be in, and we eee no explanation for it unless the two-oent-a-mlle bill Is to be killed in ' tbe legislature, or tbey look upon the newspaper editors of Illinois as a lot #f pmt>beknlls.-- «̂ro. q Beacon, Newspapers la 1817, NfefcP.

The growth of newspapers In some of the Western States would be a mat- tor of wonder If It were not that this year Is no exoeptlon to the rule. In Kansas tbe Increase Is 89 and In Ne­ braska, 64; while the Keystone State shows a smaller advance ot 35 and the Buckeye State of 30. Pennsylvania exhibits the largest Increase In dailies. 17; Kansas In weeklies, 81, and New York In monthlies, 42. Seven States show a decrease: the most prominent instances being New Hampshire and Virginia, six each. The whole volume shows that great care has been taken to sustain its reputation as the most comprehensive work of tbe kind yet published, and to insure accuracy in every detail. Anything less than a complete compendium ef American newspapers and periodicals would sur­ prise those who are familiar with the former efforts of this firm, who are PO well known as the oldest, largest and oest known of all the American Agencies. • 88 8715 is * M July 1 July t July 8 July 16 July 17 JatySS «.< Jul^Sl Aug. 7 Aug. 11 AUJC. 14 U Aug. 16 14 Aug. 18 Aug. 23 Aug.
