J oh n Kelley, ' in his 'culunin in the hrie U'a.) - i 'aily ' Times, re marks: "Aniotig the historic sto nes . eif ittwpaicnJniii, 4hv une about Col. W. H. anderbilt say ing 'the public be damned' is still going, the rounds, although half a century has passed since the pithy phrase was first printed.. In a re cent issue of Path finder, I saw a 'stickful' about it.". Mr. Kelky thcii gives a couple : oi -colninus 1 hi ttrsr-hattrP-malter which throws some interesting light on the circumstances which sur rounded the original publication of the uhrase'! As Jnniostcascs of .this, sort, . there... is.soiuecon.traclic tory evidence and the versions on the su bftMt i not all tally. "It was" -Clarence' Dresser.- ji young . xeporteronthc .Chicag(j3lorning Jewswhcu-was--Xi:syunsible . for the phrase getting into print, and a rheck-uu of -the newsiivr files shows that it was the News which "TiWr'gaveTn "nient to the worll. TnTJct)be r, 1882, Col. Vanderbilt, who was then president of the New York Central railroad, made a trip to the West on a special train, and in the party were a number of other railroad magnates whom he had invited as guests for the trip. Two Chicago newspaper report ers John D. Sherman and Clarence Dresser, his "cub" assistant got aboard the train at Michigan- City and they were invited to ride with the party on to Chicago'.' This gave them a rare chance to inter view Gjl.'VandeTlJili, who W;ls tnei -rtrrwall-r -th 1in.g i if ? tin- wjl railroad- world.'. .".'."A'Zi.'T: S The .reporter- jskei-l-.the-X'oluiiel if his new Limited express train ' between 7 New " York' "and C'h'fcag' . -paid.: The trnlmicl answered in this way, according- to ihe 'aiticle in the News of Oct. .. 1HX2: .-"N'o. We run it because we are forced to do su by I In .action of the Pennsylvania v ;,'!. Ii doesn't . pay expenses. We would abandon it if it Were noi tor .our competitor keeping its train , on." One of the reporters then asked: "Hut don't you run it for the ben efit of the public?" . , Col. Vanderbilt then made the historic retort: "The 'public be A- damned! What 'dors the jmblic care for the railroads except to get as much out of the in.- for, a small consideration as possible ? . I don't take any stock in this silly non sense about working lor anybody's good bur -our own, because we do not. When we make' amove it is to our interest to do so, not be cause wc expect to do1 somebody else good. Of course, we like to do everything possible fr,r the ben- efitff hnn.ianitv.Jn.i;en.(:ralJ but when we do, we first ec that we " ; if e brnof mng-ntirsrhT-s-r Railronds ire not run on sentiment, bin on. business principles and. to pay, and , I don't mean to be egotistic when I say that the roads which 1 have ' anything to do with have generally ' paid pretty well." It seems that Col. Vanderbilt had been talking "in confidence" when he used the expression, "the public be damned." He had no idea that the reporters wnttld quote him that; ww in the papers. As a matter of fact, all the Chicago papers ex-j cept the News did soften the in- terview down. The Tribune said, nothing about the Dubllc being, Kiwtfn 5(K),(K)() and M0,(XX). All (ir hr.ce portions of those gran.s which cannot be regarded as cotn- n ii!-atiii tor direct.- service in juries will be stricken off.

The. new- rates for war limV disabilities are fixed on a monthly basis as follows: 10 per ei'l. $8;- '25.' per. cent, $20; 50 per .ci't. $5D: 75 per mil, '$(); 100 per cent, $H0.

"I do not want any veteran to t'eel that he and his comrades are being singled out to make sacri fices. On the contrary, I want them to know that the regulations issued are an integral part of our econo my' program embracing every de- 'nunt :nd agency of the gov ernment to which evcrv employee is making his or her contribution. "1 ask them to appreciate that not only does their welfare but also. the welfare of every -American citizen depend upon the mainten- ance oi me crean oi tneir ttovcrn mind that every citizen in every walk ri! life is being called upon, directly or. otherwise, to share in this." PATHFINDER. I "damned" but quoted Vanderbilt as remarking: -Accommodation of the public? Nonsense !" The Inter-Ocean published a still different version; it stated that Vanderbilt had said : "The rail mads are not run for the 'dear public' That cry is all nonsense. I J'hey are built by men who1 invest their money ana expect to get a fair percentage on the - same." The Times stated that Col. Vanderbilt said he had been "undergoing a pumping process" by two reporters on the train, but the article said nothing -further. Of course, all the newspapers in tne -country soon puDiisnea tne public be damned" story. Such a furore... was caused by .it that .when the ... Vanderbill-train - reached -Denver the Colonel made a point-blank leu i a 1 (f - lt He adnvit ted that ttkagoepcirershad .ItaiRed with him bu t maintained they had done X.ireat.injtistice. to himwhen . they accused him of using such words as the as they had charged.
