diminished by the rain. The de-
vOtiOnal meetings at o o'clock each
morning were full of interest. AT
II NJ, On Monday, Secretary Clark
made very telling speech in behalf
of Foreign Missions. He said that
while almost every land was ready
to receive the gospel there was lack
of funds to support the men already
III the field. But if all missionary
agencies could be increased fonrfold
/ the gospel could be carried to every
family in the world before the close

table published lby the New York

A table published tby the New York
Chronicle shows that the entire railroad
extension Of 1878 was only about one
sixteenth as much as in 1872, and in tho
Western States It was only about one
twentieth as much. II is apparent that
the great game of building railroads with
the proceeds OF the sale OF! bonds, and
creating vast amount Of stock which
cost the first holders of 1t nothing, but
still serves TO keep control Of the prop
erty, has been playedout. II Justice were
done, at least two.thirds Of the stock
created In 1872 on the 81, 900 miles Of rail.
road existing in that year should be wiped
out, and the railroads handed over to the
bond.holders and the towns, counties and
cities that have donated money to aid in
the construction. These are, in fact, the
only parties who have put any consider
able amount of money into the roads.
The full extent, however, of the revul-
sion in railroad building, has evidently
not been experienced yet. Many Of the
railrosds-and even some Of those whose
stock is even yet salRble in the MARKET
have gone on pilinS debt upon debt, by
the issue Of more and more bonds, until it
is apparent that many Of them must go
into bankruptcy, that the capital stock,
the possession Of which puts the property
10 the control OF those who never put a
dollar into the construction Of the roads,
must be wiped out, and the property
handed over to the first mortgage bond
holders, When this process begins, as it
undoubtedly will with some Of the
heavily indebted roads in the Western
States before next spring, may unsettle
the whole market for railroad stocks to q
greater extent than in the panic. a
