of the log cabin, blankets the only partitions and
the curtains around the beds of the old folks
About 8 the children would climb the ladder to
their hunks close under the shake roof, and in an
hour more father and mother would also retire be-
hind the blankets, leaving the sparkers sitting Mt
opposite corners Of capacious stick chimney fire

seats somehow chairs would manifest unusual at

the cabin stiffness, the gentle breathing behind

1lI.-RAILRoAD MANAGEMENT

Although one of the most powerful
clements in our prosperity, and, in fact,
now necessity, it cannot be denied that
railroads generally, have been failures,
considered as profitable investments to
the stockholders. The business Of our
railroads is ample to make them good
investments and therefore there can be
but one cause for so general u failure ::
namely, unrcmuncratiyc tariffs. Occa-
slolal instances Of bad management have
taken place, but it is obvious that this
cannot be the cause of so general a
failure. The gold discoveries Of Cali
tornia and Australia have advanced the
prices Of labor, fuel, etc, from 30 to 80
per cent, and consequently the cxpen-
ditures Of railroads in similar ratio
During this time there has been no cor
responding increase in the tariffs Of orr
railroads. thiS, in connection with the
fact that the depreciation of the rails,
rolling stock, etc, has not been suili-
GENTLY allowed for, explains the cause,
and makes remedy obvious. 70 show
the authority for this statement, we give
the expenditures, etc, on railroads at
different periods since their first practical
adoption. These show that there was Il
gradual decrease to 1915, and since that
time an increase in the expenditures.
The annual cost Of maintaining in
operation wcll-nanagcd road is almost
! ! ccnts for each ton, per mile, carried
over it, and / | cents for each mile run
by all the engines, besides $500 for each
mile Of the road. If it be likewise a
passenger read, there is to be added
threc-fourths of a cent per mile for each
passenger carried.
The complete average expense per
train per mile Of running on the prilci-
pal roads was estimated
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1858-07-03

t is shown by this table that the gross

1t is shown by this table that the gross
receipts increased only eleven per cent
in six years ; while the expenses in
creased forty-four per cent, and the net
receipts decreased eighteen per cent
On the other hand, this system Of man
agemcnt has not been without its good
results. The country has been develo-
ped, trade has been encouraged, and, in
fact, everything has prospcrcd in consc-
quencc, except the interests Of the
stockholders.
Now as to the increase of safety. On
the French railroads, 2l2 miles in length,
Of 1,SS9,1lS passengers, who travelled
GlG,J45 miles in the first half Of 1913,
not one was either killed or wounded,
and only three servants were injured.
Comparing this with the travelling by
horse coaches in the same region, we find
that i'll seven years, from 1884 to 1910,
II persons were Filled and 2,073 were
wounded. According to Or. Lardncr,
tho chances ola passenger meeting with
fatal accident in travelling one mile on
a railroad, are G5,3G3,735 to /. And
again, the chances of his meeting bodily
injury in the same distance, are S,512,-
1876 to and also that 366, 036, 023
passengers must travel one mile in order
to cause the death of one railroad en-
