RAILROAD PROFITS.

According to Mr.. e. Y. Poor's railroad
manual, the whole cost Of the 425 roads
embraced in his statements WAS $780,
IA, 057. The gross receipts Of these roads
last year were S473, 242,Oj5, of which the
sum of S3O7 ,4S6, 682 was paid cut for oper-
ating expenses, leaving the sum Of $780,
f5I, 1913 as let earnings. From this it
would appear that the net earnings aver
aged only 5! per cent, upon the COST ofthe
roads. The dividends paid amounted to
S64,4IS,15l, or only 2 per cent. upon
tie cost. II will doubtless be sus-
pected, says The Chicago Times from the
sms lness of tie ret earnings and dividends
ia COMPARISON to tie cost that the figures
are not perfectly accurate; and this suspic-
ion will be deepened by the fact that the
roads themselves furnished the figures, and
that some roads either made no returng or
positively refused to furnish information.
Neither railroad nor manufacturing COM
pauies feel under obligation 10 tell the pub

THE LIVELY FARMERS.

The farmers in some of the Western
States are having rather lively times. al
one place large number OF Oranges met
on the fourth of July and adopted 'NeW
Declaration of Independence" while some
5000 or 5000 met at Lauark in Carol
county, Illinois, and celebrated Independ-
eBcs Day in quite lively way. Among
the sentiments inscribed on the many ban
ners that were borne in the arriving process
sions were the following:
"Tbe Farmers Movement-Already in
Tgenty-Four States. 1t Will sweep Every
Thing Before It!'
ssNo More Republicans No More Dem
ocrats! We Want and Must Haze Honest
Men to Fill Public Positions"
.Who Would Be Free, Himself Must
Strike the Blosw
"Corn Must Go Up! Monopolies Must
Come Down."
'sSslary Grabbers, Hunt Your Holes !"
equal and Exact Justice to All! Special
Privileges to No One!"
Salary of Our Congressman, One Hun
bred Bushels OF Corn Per Day! Poor
Fellow"
"Farmers to the Front! Politicians, Take
Back seats
In all these movements the Republicans
cannot fail to discover handwriting on the
wall which conveys any thing but pleasant
intelligence to them.

CHOLERA FACTS.

We think tbas the cause of humanity and
medical science may be promoted by pub
fishing facts relating TO cholera, as we may
find them in our daily exchanges, condens-
ing statements TO economist space. A
Columbus correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer, writing under date Of July II,
says there were eight deaths from cholera
in twenty-four hours in the penitentiaTy
there. AS indicating a local disease, isolst-
ed from outside influence, these remarks
possess considerable interest: "Not one CT
The employees, teamsteEs, or officials in or
about the prison has had cholera, cholera
morbus, or diarrhea during the summer,
and the disease must spring from local
causes within thu prison. The smallne's
Of the cells receives the most blame. The
hals, yards, and kitchens are perfectly
cla9n and dry" The above facts would seem
to indicate that cholera germs grow in dark
prison cells about as naturally SIS those of
midew on damp linen in dark, close
chest. Make all the conditions favorable,
and somehow the seed comes and vege-
tates.

THE SHAH AMONG THE womEH.

TIE London correspondent CT the New
York Tribune tells some rather hard stories
on the Shah of PERSIA, whp is visiting
England. He gives thu following account
of the manners and behavior Of the Persian
monarch:
"Next TO the grass and trees, or perhaps
before, the women of England have had the
honor to int rest the Shah. Regarding them
naturally fron, the the Oriental point OF
view, His Msiesly has made a number of
remarks which viii scarcely bear repetition
in print. Tie prevailing fashion of dress
has given him abundant opportunity to
compare their attractions with those of bis
harem. For three he is reported TO have
offered $4,000 with the option of csnceljng
the bargain and returning to England if,
aftfr q fair trial, they disliked Persia. Ono
of the three told me she was inclined to &C.
cept it if the money could be settled on her.
self, and t she could feel sure about getting
back. But think no bargain has been
closed. At Lady Granville's party at the
Foreign Office, on Tuesday night, it was an
American lsdy-or, as some two or thr9e
fair Ameircsns-who had TIE honor to at
tract this noble sayage's regard. At one or
two dinners he has fouad himself with
lady on each side of him, an this is prac-
tice which he declared himself unable to
understand, They, on the other hand, have
been enlightened by experience as 10 some
customs which prevail in Persia, but have
hitherto been unknown in England. One
lady On rising from the table found her lap
filed with moTsels from the royal plate,
which, as she supposed, he hsd found IN
palatable and quie IL disposed Of in this way.
Another beheld sundry visnds from time 10
time during dinner transferred from the
Shah's plate to her own. There is even q
story that be took such q violent dislike to
spinach, when it was served to him for thu
first time, that he ej7cted it from his mouth
on to the plate of bis neighbor. But to all
these, SIS 10 most Of the other stories, there
is another side. The charitable and we'll
informed explain that these Contributions
wers meant as marks of royal favor, and
we're in the height of good breeding, sinc9
amorg Orientals il is the custom to Destow
on guest the choicest morsels from the
bost's portion, and a king always stands in
tie relation Of host 10 every body else"
Bu. the Shah, if he be boar in his be-
havior, knows how to say pretty things 10
ladies, if we are to believe London Journal
which says that when he visited Queen
Victoria, at Windsor, he told her Majesty
that until then be had reckoned his years
from the day ofhis birth, but that he should
henceforth date them from the hour of bis
meeting the Queen of England.

DEFENDING CONGRESS-.

The Washington Republican, an organ
Of the Grant Administration, defends Con.
gress and the Grant party after the follow.
ing fashion:
"Tbe great topic of interest at the next
meeting Of Congress will undoubtedly be
| the trausp0Tts ion question. Senator Wu-
| dou's committee, which has been travelling
| through the country investigating the
various proposed water routes from tIe
| Yves. TO The East, viii be ready with its re-
| port, which will open up the whole sub
| ject for public discussion. The Repub.
| Iican party must not fail 20 take sc:iOn
upon it if it would retain its hold upon
popular confidence. and keep up with
the progress of the ace. Incidental to this
will be the question of imposing proper re.
strictiODs upon the corporations and mo-
Dopoliss which have so long controlled leg
islation aud dictated their own terms to
Legislatures and Congresses. The failure
of Congress to act upon the internal COM
municatioa question is already beginning to
have disastrous effect upon the commerce
and industry Of the country {.
Here is an open confession that Repub-
llcan Congress has "failed to act upon
question" of great moment to the
country, producing "a disastrous eff.
feet upon its industries and commerce.
1t is confessed that 'the Republican party
has not imposed proper restrictions upon
the corporations and monopolies which
have so long controlled legislation, and die
tated their own terms to Legislatures and
Congresses" If there is an honest man in
that party, how long ought he to support it
with this acknowledgement of guilt in the
management ofpnblic affairs? The Repub-
lican party has had exclusive control of the
federal government thirteen years;

and where Is the farming industry
The Republican p-oClaims momentous
truth when it tells the world that The
people do not control legislation, but "mo-
popolies do" that corporations dictate
their own terms to congresses" Such words
of commendation are both rich and rare
from an organ of the Republican party at
the seat Of government. 1t relies on It's
negro party drill, on the immense spoils in
the bands of partizans, tRrifi!es, bondhold-
era snd corporations, to re-elect a fifty
thousand dollas President and Radical
Congress.

TIE Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Gazette states that the test OF
the figures in the last census volume has
been applied to the report of the Rio Grande
Commission, and brings out some curious
comparisons. The commission reported to
the State Department that the acLu loss
proved before them at bo>h sessions amount
ed to S1l 100000. The losses, both actual
and consequential, reported by the commits
sion were S4S, 500, 900. The census tables
show the assessed value of all personal es-
tate in the Stale of Texas to be S52,5OO,-
0C0, and for the tier Of counties two coun-
ties in depth alopg the Mexican border, the
total assessed value is only two millions ard
half, and that the true value of all real
and personal estate for the same double tier
Of counties is but little over five millions.
These commissions bring out some curious
facts when people put in claims for dam
ages.
