Aid to Railroads.

Some people love to raise a whine
about aiding railroads by subscriptions
and tax. If these good people only
understood themselves they would new
err raise another objection to offering
local aid to railroads. The amount
given by communities to railroads is a
very trifling share Of the great cxpeps-
IS Of building. As triaing as that
amount is, it has readily been the cause
of the building of the many thousands
of miles of rail in cur country, which
made it so powerful and the admira-
ton and establishment of the world.
BE it understood that the capital
which builds our railroad is largely for
eign capital. The capital is invested
that it may be made to pay, and the
people of this country have to bring to
bear strong evidences that the roads
will pay, for which capital is asked,
before the moneyed men Of Europe will
take hold. Capital seeks to invest
itself in lines Of railroad through sec
tions of country already developed, so

a pair of white stockings drawn over

inactive from lack Of knowing what to
do or where to take hold, and that the
Board hal shown lack of confidence
in them in not calling on them for spe-

that the new district government is using large
quantities of Seneca stone in the improvement
of streets to the exclusion of other stone, and al
leGing that Governor Cooke is a large stock
holder in the Seneca quarry. The truth is that
the Seneca company made proposals to furnish
stone to the board Of public works on the same
terms as the other companies, nut Governor
Cooke, from the fact that he was stock holder in
the company, caused their bid to be thrown out,
and it was not even considered by the board.

not, is not definitely established but of the ex-
