Railways In is: 1:1.

The report of the interstate commerce
commission for the year ending June 30
1898, has appeared. W 9 find from it

that in spite of. hard times nearly 5,000
miles of new railway were built during
the year ending as above. This, it must
bsrcmembered, was before the financial
crisis had struck the country in full
force. The report for the year ending
June 30, 1894, will tell a different story.
Then, too, the World’s fair last year will
mount for the increased construction of
cars and locomotive engines. The num-
berofcars increased over the previous
year by 58,854. Locomotive engines in-
creased 1,652.

The greatest increase in railway mile-
age was in Washington state, 556. 22
miles having been laid there. West Vir-
ginhmakes the best showing of any of
the older states, having laid 36') 01
milk of track. In Kansas, Oregon. New

Mexico and even the District of Colum-e

, bisthere was an actual decrease in mile-
rue. And we had at the date named

178, 461. 07 miles of railway 1n the Unitel

‘ States.
200,000 ' e mark.

Very suggestiw to people not to invest
in railway stocks or bonds is the report
of the earnings and dividends of the
roads. Operating expenses of the roads
increased nearly $47,000,000 over the pre—

' viouayear, while the sum available for
dividends decreased nearly $5,000,000.
0! the total railway stock of the coun-
try, 81.24 per cent paid no dividends at
all. Of alleged interest paying income
bonds, 82.50 per cent paid no interest.
The railways of the country have debts
mating much more than half of all
the value of their properties.

The saddest chapter in the report is
“dealing with the mortality of rail-

way employees. Of these there were,

 

 

are rapidly nearing the
l

' 000 a year

The result of the labor tronblss and
Ale mobs and riots of July, 1894, will
he to force arbitration upon employers
and employees whether they want it or
iot. There will no longer be learned
liscnssion and arguing the logic of the
thing. The logic of events has decided
it. Labor wars in the United States
lhould be settled» new, ones for all.
l‘here must never again be witnessed
luch scenes as the American public has
beheld recently. Ever since the Home-
ltead riots two years ago there has been
in uneasy, silent belief that the worst
had not come even yet. Undoubtedly
:he worst has come in the summer of
1894. Governor McConnell of Idaho
struck the current of public opinion
when he telegraphed President Cleve-
land suggesting that there be recom-
mended to congress the immediate pus-
;age of a law making arbitration com?
pulsory in all cases of difference between
employers and employed who are con.
named in the transportation business.
Public sentiment demands this law.
Transportation companies or those who
manufacture the means of transporta-
tion are not private corporations, it is
:laimed. 0n them depends the life and
zomfort of community. While in Cali-
fornia fruit was rotting in the cars
and those who produce it are being
ruined financially because of the want
11’ the money they would have obtained
for it, in some parts of the cast there
was a fmit famine. The little sup—
ply of California fruit was soon ox-
nausted, and the native supply was ut-
terly inadequate to the demand.

The people will not permit this state
of things to come upon them very often
nereoftcr. They declare that they them-
selves have the largest interest of all at
stake in such strikes as this of July, and
that they are the cries to judge whether
there is anything to arbitrate. Thero-
ioro the call that is made for the com-
pulsory arbitration law. Such an enact-
ment already exists in some of the Aus-
tralian colonies.

Tammany.

For its running expenses, interest on
its debt, sinking fund and other pur.
poses New York city disburscs annually
nearly $89,000,000. On its pay rolls,
from mayor. schoolteachcnl and police-
men to street cleaners, are an army of
15,000 persons. All this money is dis-
burscd, all this army is controlled, by

the party that is in power politically.

This is Tanunauy, a political party to
itself. The hand that holds the purse
strings is the power that rules the
world. Tho fact that for more than 20
years Tammany has had control of New
York's purse strings shows better than
anything also the prover of that vast
organization.

It is held together by patronage. If a
labor organization could hang together
is Tammany has done. it could move
the pillars of smimy, It could and
would llOli together it getting $89,000,-

$41de on it.

There is one salary of $.11, 000 Fif-
teen other persons get $15, 000 a year
such. The police department alone
employs about 4,000 men. Tammany
votes itself good salaries. Its police jus-
ticos [gt-t $8, 000 a year, which is more
than a majority of the governors of tho
state-s got. Tammany has, too, 1111 ami-

The Roman revolt has been ascribed to
21m hatred of foreigners among the people
if that country. It now transpires, how-
ever, that it was caused by actual pov-
erty and starvation. The peasant popu-
.ation had not enough to out. They had
nothing to lose by anything they did,
1nd they were desperate enough to do
anything. It is wall for us all to re-
ncmbcr that some little allowance must
usually be made for a person with an
impty stomach and nothing to fill it.

A‘Plan to Decors teal v'llthoat Paying I
large ‘Pmllt to Dealer-

Several leading citizens of Hartford
are endeavor-111g to perfect the organiza-
tion of the fuel saving society of that
city. The scheme' Is one to secure coal
without psvlngs large profit to local
dealers. By paying a certain sum week-
ly during the summer months a fund is
established to purchase coal by the car
load at the lowest wholesale rates and
when winter comes each member of the
society may draw the quantity of coal in
proportion to the amount he has piid 111.

Tue plan has been in successful Opera—
tion in Philadelphia and several other
cities. Its object is to benefit the poorer
classes particularly, for upon them the
burden of expense for fuel comes most
heavily because they buy by the bushel
or quarter ton and of course must pay
rates considerably in excess of those
charged by retail dealers to cuutomua
who buy one or more tons.

I've been thinning what on earth
Was the reason of your birth.

The more active that you be,

You provoke a big, big 1).

I fa fellow rants and swears.

0r backward says his prayer-r;

And although one is inc-11m d

To be patient. meek and mild,

At the flapping of your wings.
When your buzz-saw pains and stings,
Human nature speaks out strong,
And declares you in the wrong.
Absence in your case is best.
Neither resident nor guest

Can escape your deadly mark,

On piazza. street or park:

But you help the (hamlet out.

As we all for csmphor shout.

I have heard some people say.

Who seemed honest in their way .
That the lust iew days in town
Made them fret and fume and frown:
And that never in their lives

Had the skeeters such sharp knives.
But I leave with keen regret.

As the mem'ry lingers yet.

0f each kindness day by day

In the week I had to stay.

Ev'ry effort made to please.

And to put one at his ease
Mosquitos fade from sight.

But the pleasure and dolls in

Of true hearts and goodiycheer.

In my mind shall reappear.

Literary Notes.

A white and black costume from

Ieitls in white, as httits the season, are
the leading features of Harper's Bazar
for July 21. An article on "flow to mem-
orme Music." by Aubertine Woodward

(and tilde 1') wants”.

t‘oman In the Ascendant.

It would be Imrdu-r to my what women
are not doing these days than what they
are doing. for tin ir ambition has become
as boundless us work itself, and there is
hardly an industry. or a profession, or
an ofllce of any kind whore their persever-
lng presence cannot be found. Woman
has by her own deserving offal-tn become
man's competitor, even to the very thresh-
old 01 equal rights, and hammthroned her
self within the very sanctuaries that were
once sacred to man alone.

But it must not be thought in conse-
quence of their wider fluid that woman's
hand has lost its cunning for womanly
employment and womanly arts, and that
her interest fing- ln the ever particular
sphere of domesticity, for such is not the
case. Never before in the history of woma
unkind has her own exclusive work re-
ceived so much attention or rtmchml such
a state of perfection.

A visit to the women's exchanges and
demmtive art rooms furnishes a revels-
tion. The tawny machine work, which is
so enticingly displayed in our large empo—
rinms, would pale with disgust at the com-
parison of dainty needlework, laces, em
broldrrles and linen drawn work of every
conceivable design and description here,
all done by the dainty finger» of women;

ner canis, picture frames, hundkerchiel

Bani-blag Ghosts.

Ono Petr-us Tllyrnovs. a doctor of
theology, is authority for a quaint
method of banishing ghosts from
haunted houses. This remedy, dis
cussed in his Work. "Lima infects."
published at Cologne in 1508, is no
less than taking the earthly tene-
ment formerly occupied by the offen-
sive ghost and burying it under the
hearthsione. “Damping and swear-
ing at them,” says the learned Pe-
trus, "isof no use"—uor does be up
