When the first bells sounded an
alarm the other day big newsboy
caught the number of the box and
heeled it up Larned street like a run
away pony. When he reached Brush
street another boy called to him.
"No use running-it is only a
chimney burning out"
Cant help that" replied the run
ner. "The women make just as
much fuss over a chimney as they
do about house burning up"
And he continued his wild flight
up the street.

THE sUEZ CANAL.

The Suez Canal cost about 1914, 100000
gold. It is 90 miles long, and too mar.
row to let two large vessels pass with.
out switehings and sidings. Yet it has
passed vessels Of nearly 26 feet draft
and 4sO feet long. The first year it was
opened to general trade, 1870, only 491
vessels went through, representing q
tonnage of about 437 900. But in 1875 it
passed 1896 vessels, rs per cent of which
were British, and the tonnage had risen
to nearly 100000. The canals receipts
amounted, In the last year named, to
$5,777, 26O gold, and for 1876 were nearer
$6,00o.0 900 at the rate of increase.
John Bull, regardless of small consis.
teney, no sooner saw the "ditch" sue
cess than he bought In a lump the Khe-
dives own share, nearly one half of the
whole, or 176, 702. Thus the Suez Canal
earns above six per cent gross, but its
earnings in another sense are incalcu-
liable. The British Empire-that dis
connected series Of oonquests extend
ing through two centuries-is by this
ditch" consolidated and made intelli-
gible, and Asia is reduced to be Brit
ish province, Bombay being little more
than two weeks by the fastest steamers
from London. The Suez Canal pos
sesses besides huge grant of land, and
is building up cities on it's banks and at
it's termini, and leasing water fronts.

POOR OHIO.
IN. Y. Tribune. /

WASHINGTON. June THE general
impression that Ohio had much more
than her fair proportion in various
branches Of the services has led to a
partial examination into the matter. In
the State Department here there is not
a single clerk, employee or laborer ap-
pointed from Ohio. In the entire con-
sular and diplomatic service at the
opening of this Administration Ohio
had eight appointments and New York
thirty eight.
In the office of the Secretary of the
Navy, Ohio has 1 lowest-class clerk,
while Pennsylvania has 10. OF Assist
ant Surgeons in the army now In SER
vice, Ohio has q, Pennsylvania 30 and
New York 81. In the Quartermaster' g
Department, Ohio has 4S and New York
IA. In the Pay Department of the
army, Ohio has 8, New York % and
Of the navy Ohio 5. New York ca and
Pennsylvania 81. The true relation
which these States should sustain to
each other for such q division of the
spells is claimed, by those who suppose
Ohio has too much, to be on the basis
OF their representation in Congress,
which is, Ohio 20, Pennsylvania n and
New York SO.

BUT IT Is NOT RAILRoADING.

The true French soldier who saw the charge OF
Cardgan's regiment Of cavalry at Balaklavs, cri-
ticsly and justly said that IL WAS superb, but that
it was not war. The fences on the line Of the
Southern Michigan road were crested with thou
sands OF spectators to see the younger Wander
bilt's small train flying over the rails In wild chs
lenRe TO the Pennsylvania railroad and all COM

there, and the judgment OF oil OF them was

GOVERNMENT AND RAILROAD HONps
IN. Y. Tribune. l


United States government bonds
though temporarily depressed while the
electoral controversy was raging, have
steadily improved In the London mar.
ket since the 1st of March, but 1t is far
otherwise with American railway
bonds. The Pail Mall Gazette, In no.
ticing the decline in the price Of such
stock as New York Central, Illinois
Central, Philadelphia and Reading, and
the Pennsylvania railways, shrewdly
remarks that corporate management In
the United States is distinguished by
''autocraey" and secrecy" 'The
shareholders" 1t adds, "have little
power over the managers, and rarely
use even the power they have. Re-
ports are infrequent, meagre and unsat-
isfactory. But the European investor
has very little reason to place himself
absolutely in the hands OF q practically
irresponsible railway king, whose
policy is worked by secret eompaets
and imperative ukases. It is for the
American public to correct this state
of things. Until it be replaced by
something better, 1t is idle to hope that
confidence In American railway securi-
ties can be restored" These are harsh
words for American ears. but 1t is the
logic OF truth.
