The Harvard student, to whom time is not money, will read with deep satisfaction the announcement that the Charles River horse cars may now be ridden upon for four cents. The outlook is now promising indeed. May we not expect that the railroad war thus inaugurated will rage with ever increasing fierceness until its results shall far exceed anything yet known in the history of Cambridge travelling? What can be more obvious than that the Cambridge road will promptly reduce its fares to three cents, and that the rival lines will continue to "see each other and go one lower" until both roads begin to offer premiums to secure traffic? It may be that smoking cars will be provided, with the intention of securing the student patronage, and it may be that - but why go on? Both lines will soon get back to the nickel basis, without any doubt.
