Railroad Exhibits.

Some idea Of the immense capital
and important interests involved In
railroads i'm the United States, and
the power they may exert in the ma
tion may be gained from study OF
the following summary OF figures
from Poor's Railroad Manual for
1874, just published, which gives a
detailed statement of 425 different
railroads:
Miles Of railroads, 1898; cost, s3,-
l59, ,423,057; cost per mile, SO, l6;
gross receipts, $l73, al ,055; operating
expenses, 1907, 1856, ,Go2; net earnings,
sl65,754, ,373; dividends paid, sGi, ,4l8,-
l5l; total number of miles in opera
ton, 67, lOi, of which 5,427 were built
last year; some have made no returns
Others refuse information. The total
earnings are $H0,000,0OO more than
the receipts in the United states
Treasury, and the net earnings are
81 900. 900 more than the government
interest account. The total cost is
5000 ,OOO. 900 more than the national
debt. 1884 miles have been built
since 1863.

been quite as noisy and demOnstra-
tive had the Indignation of the farm
ers been directed at the pork packers
or even at the Esquimaux, instead Of
at the common carriers. What they
wanted and want is not justice, but
Office, and all the means which prom
ise such consum nation.
Il party name, such as dntt-n1onop-
oyy is absurd on its very face. How.
ever unscrupulous the professional
politicians are, they are not by any
means fools. Alfti-monopoly, 1t is
plain, is only an ascending step in
their formation of a new party TO
take the place OF the deceased De"
mocracy. If they can dupe any Re
publican into joining their orsaniza-
ton, under the impression that he is
making a movement toward cheap
freight ard fares, ne will discover
his infatuation by waiting. lheneW
party leaders, SO soon as they shali
have secured their new party, Will
be quite as ready to shake hands
with the railways ''across the bloody
,chasm" as they now are to shake
hands with the farmers, should they
perceive any advantage TO them
selves in the deSertion. Indeed,
there are some indicati ons that not
few of these devotediy patriotic poll
ticians, who lack a party, are even
now shaking hands with both rail-
ways and farmers, with made-up
choice of letting go.
With politics, in its partizah
sense, the farmers, movement was
never intended to be entangled. IN
its inception it was not at all ioot'ta-
cal movement, but Il movement Tor
redress of grievances grievances felt
by the farmers in common with ma
nv other classes in community. Its
Object appealed to almost universal
sympathy. 1T touched chord IN
the popular conscience. The only
point of difference regarded the eX-
act mode of procedure 70 secure a
remedy. This was before the pro-
fessional politicians took hand IN
the fight. Then elements OF disturb
ance and disintegration were INTRO
duced. Questions entirely different
from the original were unanimously
pressed to the front, befoggEing the
real issue. Left to the intrusion aud
interference Of the wire workers, IN
tent on Office and its emoluments, 1t
runs the risk Of disappearing In the
labyrinthine winding of oflice-Seek-
ing intrigue. Singleness of aim; the
common sense principle of one thing
at a time-should imbue the farmers
movement; and the sooner lt can De
severed from entanglipg alliances
with partisan schemes, Potatc01
party machinery, and all extraneous
questions, the sooner will the DAY
dawn when our farmers will become
masters of the situation and secure
cheap freights and fares. Inter.

The proiect Of direct freight raj J.
way from New York to Chicago Is
discussed in the news papers of 'he
latter city. and the Chicago Bbhrd ol
Trade has prepared a memorial Oh
the subject to be presented TO Con
gross. it suggests that the railway
should be built by the aid OF me
National Government, but shonld
not be managed by government ON
cials. The cost Of double track is
estimated at $4,000, 900. We have
often suggested and pressed IN" ad,
vantage to all parts Of the Union m
sucb - means Of international com
municution. 1t would tend TO pro-
duce cheap food, cheap coal, "a more
frequent intercourse between every
section. Two or three grand nat!oh-
al highways penetrating the Nest
and South, running at cheap rates,
and designed finally to be practically
free to all, would do more lpr tlle
general welfare of the country thah
politicians have imagined or reform
crs devised They would carry Wlth
them intelligence and the common
school, immigration and cheap Ia
Dor. the spread Of anew population
over Western Virginia and Eastern
Tennessee, the discovery OF fresh
fields Of agriculture in the South,
and tie opening Of the vast granary
of the Northwest. They would di-
mjnish the cost OF living on the sea-
board. and increase the revenue OF
every farmer in the interior.
70 the proposition that the Nation
nj Government should aid or perhaps
build such railways 1T Is objected
that the tendency to centraliIalioh
Is already too great. and that the po-
litical ianuencc Of the administration
would be improperly enlarged by
the control of II series Of roads ana
railway officials; that building rail
WAYS is beyond the province OF me
state. and should be left altogether
10 private enterprise. But 1t mag be
shown that scarcely one OF our canals
or railways has or could have been
built without either State or Nation
al aid that the principle Is well set
tied among US that the government Is
only the representative oi the
whole community, and may wei 20
called upon to execute the pupilc
works necessary for the convenience
of all its people. 1T is not unih-
structive fact that the English Gov
ernmpnt. conscious Of the injustice Oh
permitting the national highways 70
remain i'm the hands Of private specu.
lators, already proposes TO buy up all
the Irish railways, and that a large
party in England is pressing the gov
ernment to purchase all the English
roads and manage them for the inter
est of the public. 1t is found that
the system Of private competition !,
tends only to the embarrassment OF
trade and the establishment OF
troublesome monopolies. :,

plan, which has been ur- ed by the

A Washington dispatch says that
the question of giving the legal ter
minus Of the Union Pacific Hallway
has assumed a new form. The law
of Congress chartering this road pro
vides that it shall operate its road as
a continuous line. 1t is claimed that
operating the Omaha bridge separate
Of the railway il in violation Of this
provision of the charter Of both. The
Senators from Iowa, with Represen-
tative Wilson, and other prominent
citizens Of this State, have addressed
a petition to the Attorney General
asking him to institute proceedings
TO compel the company, through
mandamus, to conform the manage
nents Of the railway to the require
meDts Of its charter In the particular
matter which thny bring to his atten-
ton. -Dur. Gazstle.

Col. Rhett, Of the New Orleans
picdyn3e, who killed Judge Cooley
in duel has been found guilty of
murder by coroner's jury. Right.
The mere fact that under the name
Of duel, with the sanction of the
"Code of Honor" so-called, he eX-
posed his body to be shot at, should
not screen him from such punish
ment as the laws of his State pre-
scribe as a penalty for premeditated
murder. 1T is that, and nothing
less. If A. invites b. to shoot him,
and the request is granted, B. vio-
lates the law as much as if he com
mitted arson at the request Of the
owner of the property injured.

influence, and also by the New York

influence, and also by the New York
EUening Post, is that an intense OppO
sition to any new railroad route
would be excited in all existing com
panies; that Congress would be made
the. scene Of violent struggle against
it; that bribery would be used; and
as we are told by theEreniTg Post,
"the railroad companies already in
existence will not stand idly by and
see so large a share Of their business
pass out of their hands, The Chica-
go Inter Ocean, which favors the new
road, suggests that it is the notion
that the business is theirs that marks
the dangerous monopoly of the com
panies, and that the business will be-
long to them only so long as they
deserve it. The Chicago Times,
which WAS never particularly loyal,
thinks that Congress will be purchas-
ed by the rival lines, that every legis-
lature is venal, that the new project
will be the signal for wide scene Of
corruption, and that every Repre-
sentative will be assailed with new
tempter. But we believe thNt the
majority of the people have no such
ahiect fear of the railway managers,
or any doubt Of the honesty Of their
representatives They mean to send
to Congress men whom no railway
company can bribe; to remove from
Congress all who yield to temptation.
Fortunately the influence OF the COM
mon schools and the general morality
! Of our industrial classes will provide
! honest Representative in every por-
| tion of the country.
| Tt IS also urged, with much anpar-
ent force, that if Congress lends IFS
aid TO one or more railways, it vii!
| be q precedent for endless claims,
that sectional iealousies will be
| aroused. and that every part OF the
country will demand the support OF
! the government for its necessary
roads. Yet it may be replied that i
| is only upon few extended and inl-
portant routes that this support i
absolutely needed, and that one or
two grand trunk lines, penetrating
TO the est or South, reall that car
properly seek government aid. \
now avenue to the Northwest i
demanded by the VIII ole food.produ.
cling portion of the Union. The IN.
terests OF the whole country require
that perfect communication should
be opened from the seaboard to Min>
nes0ta. The commerce of every
Eastern city is threatened by the r.
val railway route projected by the
Canadian government from Chicago
TO Halifax; and there Is plain dan
ger that English enterprise may .l-
verta large share of our trade. The
new route would, therefore, be q M
tional rather than sectional advan-
tage. That a grand trunk railway
penetrating the cotton and agricuiin.
4 ri districts of the South is scarcely
less desirable might be readily
shown. That the government should
own or control the chief highways "t
the nation, and manage them for the
benefit Of the people, seems proved
by the experience of all other cot'n-
tries as well rs our own. JHr intro
