Where the Income Goes out.


Mr.. q. F. Herrick, Of Wellington, o.,
is lawyer of ability, man of considerable
wealth, and one of the stockholders of the
Lake Shore Railroad. As such he has had
leisure and took occasion to look deeply
into the railway problem. One OF the re-
suits Of his labors appears in letterto Mr.,
Henry Dorm. Chairman of the Cleveland
strikers which was read at one OF their
r,oe+ings. We quote from the letter:
al tried more than one year ago,
at a meeting of the stockholders, TO
have them inaugurate a movement
or change in the management of the
road that would have enabled the
road not only to have paid the en-
ployes increased rather than de-
creased wages, and at the same time
pay the stockholders yearly divi-
dends. And the change was this:
To have the railroad do all the bus
mess OF the road itself and not allow
express and transportation cOmpa-
nies to take the cream of the bust
ness of the road themselves; compa-
nies that never paid one dollar to
build the road and yet were allowed
to run cars on the-rOad and get from
so to $50 per cent, and even more
than that sometimes, for carrying
freight than the railroad get for car
rying the same class of goods. This
system alone has and will ruin any
road. No business can prosper if it
allows its best paying department to
be divided and sold, and that IS the
case emphatically when roads pur-
sue such a suicidal course. In En-
gland the law steps in and will not
allow such a swindle upon stock
holders as well as employees, for what
is for the interest of one is for the
interest of all the others. 1t certain
ly is one of the most unjust and ont
rageous swindles upon stockholders
and employees ever perpetrated to
allow companies to do business up
on the capital and labor of others
and pay no equivalent, or compar-
atively none. Express companies
have no business upon the road,
for the agents and workmen can do
all the business and should have
all the pay.

The Eastern war.

Speeial cable dispatches from the scene
n tbo Russo-Turkish strife and carnage,
received by the \. Y. Times, reflect the
imnressions made upon leading European
governments by recent Russian reverses.
The representation Of this correspondent,
early in the struggle, was that if the second
line of Turkish defenses which could hard
" be forced with 10000 Russians, with
any hope of reaching the initial point to
the capital-Adrianople,- few Of tha'
number would be able to find their way
back, now lead to the opinion tha' u.

theory that another campaign will be need

must fight it out on this line ii it takes TWO
years. is tolerably obvious. Her military
prestige has suffered a shock which it is
almost question of national existence for
her to retrieve. and the very last resources
Of the Empire will doubtless be exhausted
before she can submit herself to the hu-
initiating necessity of owning herself over

not little to the general stagnation of
business. The breaking of the blockade is
welcomed by the country generally, and
though the blowing of whistles in times of
prosperity, is sometimes thought to be a
nuisance, yet after such a suspension as we
have had, it is cheerful music again to
hear them blowing their strongest blasts,
intermingled with their steam puffs and
rumbling of wheels.

BISHOP To BE HAULED OFF.-The
probabilities are that Bishop will be
Withdrawn and that the Democratic
STATE Central Commute will put Gen
eral Durbin Ward on the ticket in
his place. The dissatisfaction of the
Democrats with the nomination OF
Bishop is universal. Some Profnih-
ent men of that party threaten 70
take the stump against him; Inns li.. Is
all bluster, of course, for the alSSatc
flied don't mean to do anything OF
the sort. Their object is to get their
Bishop off the track, to depose him,
strip him of his nomination robes
in other words, take off his shoulder
straps as Marshal of the Democratic
host and reduce him to the ranks.
This appears to be the programme
now. Bishop will be forced to alb
dicate. He can't resist the pressure.

Id. Campbell on Judge West.

The Cincinnati Commercial thus quotes
Hon. Lewis D. Campbell's expressions of
opinion concerning the Republican candi-
date for Governor of Ohio:
81 never had any personal acquaintance
with Judge West until we met in the con-
yention to make new Constitution in
1873. In the discussions there we were
sometimes opposed to one another, and
sometimes on the same side. He is a man
of very superior intellectual powers-as far
superior to Taft as Stanley Matthews is to
Alex Sands. If not the very brightest and
clearest-headed man in that ever memora-
bic can-can. he was at least the equal of its
ableSt members.

The Turks continue to show themselves
a willy and stubborn foe, and these quail
ties, that have been somewhat effective
against their enemies during the war, were
signally so at recent battle at place
called Plevna, in which the Russian loss
was over 5000, and so complete was the
slaughter as to leave the defeated Russians
without force sufficient to cover their re-
treat. Among the fallen were several i'm
portant officers either killed or wounded.
Coming from st. Petersburg, this news is
supposed to be reliable.

The President has issued proclamation
forbidding, under heavy penalties, the sale
of arms and ammunition to Indians within
the limits of the United States. It is
strange that such an order should be neces-
sary, and especially, that it should be pro-
voked by the conduct of the men who are
continually complaining Of the aggressions
ol Indians. But the cupidity of frontier
Traders overcomes their discretion, and it
IS / a notorious fact that they will sell pow
uer' shot and weapons to Indians with the
Sa'ne secrecy and defiance of law with
winch " they sell them whisky. President
1r"ht was obliged to issue a similar nroc-
lamation Of warning, and this latest mos
sage is made necessary by the discovery
that United States troops in the Nortb
west nre fighting Indians armed by merce.
nary white men.

A military frankness is exhibited in the
declaration of General Martinez Campos
that the Cuban insurgents will be satisfied
only with independence, and that unless
the Spanish Government can send him
$4,000 more troops it should resolve to
abandon the island. Coming from the he
10 oi the Carlist war, who set out from
'P"iu with the highest hopes, this state
ment ought to convince the home govern
meht th"t the war it has waged for nearly
nine years against the Cubans is likely to

Judge West, the Republican candidate
for Gov. is not a man unknown to fame.
He was member of the Legislature during
the exciting years of the rebellion, and took
a prominent part in the debates and the
legislation of that crisis of our history. He
was Attorney General of the State, and
judge of the Supreme Court. He represent
ed his scounty-Logan-in the Constitution
al Convention, and distinguished himself
in that body for his clear-sightedness and
ready perceptions; by his vigorous and in
cisive manner of reasoning; by his quick
ness at retort, and his earnest eloquence in
remonstrance or appeal. In 1867, when
the question of amending the State Consti-
tuition, with view of giving the ballot to
the blacks was pending, he made speech
which was absolutely exhaustive of the
subject of Negro enfranchisement, which
put him in the very first rank of the logi-
clans and orators of the country. That
scholarly production, published in pam
phlet form scattered broadcast through
out the State, was read and admired by the
best minds in the State. He is man of
great personal magnetism, of wonderful
ability in holding and instructing an au-
dience. He will make a canvass of the
State, and we shall, doubtless, all have an
opportunity to hear his eloquent defense of
Republican principles and the rights of the
people.

The millennium has not come vet, but it
is approaching, when delegation of white

to live in peace in future. The simple fact
of their going together is encouraging.
The Bourbon may rage, and the northern
democrat may try his best to hold the

fall, if the two races come to look upon
each other as friends.

place on the ticket. His candidacy was de-
servedly reserved with great favor up to
the time of Vests nomination, but when

itself for that matter.

more frightful than an accident that oc-
CURED last Friday in Pittsburgh at what is

and the injury of five others. Seven men
were engaged in lining furnace and were
working on a scafTold which was support
ed BY ropes; these took fire from the fur
mace. and the scaffold fell, precipitating
the men into the furnace. Two were tax
en- out dead and the five others were so
badly burned that they are not expected

If the cruelties attributed to Cossacks
and Bulgarians are so well established, they
should be formally reprobated by the Rus.
sian Government. The conquest of Tur-
key cannot be hastened by burning cap
tives alive, or other modes of deliberate
murder. The Porte has. however, recent
crimes of the sort to answer for, as well as
the invaders. In its haste to appeal to
foreign nations for sympathy, it omits,
significantly, any explanation of the
murder of 142 Russian soldiers who were
shot down, last month, near Shipka pass,
while under flag of truce. While the
Turks show little humanity themselves,
their remonstrances are not likely to ex-
cite much attention.

Democrats voted for the act demonetiz-

you would suppose that their party had
had nothing to do with the matter. What

rescue the dollars of their dads? 1t is no
excuse for them to say, in the face of facts,
that the measure was smuggled through

An amusing story comes from the Ar.
dennes, where, according to the tale, an
agriculturist recently died, leaving wife
Il horse and a dog. A few moments be-
fore his death he called his wife to him,
and babe her sell his horse and give the
proceeds OF the sale to his relatives, and
to sell the dog and keep the money thus
gained for herself.
Soon alter the death the wife went to
the market with the horse and dog, and
exhibited item, with the announcement
that the price of the dog was 800 francs
and that of tie horse francs. The pass
|ers-by stopped and stared, and judged the
woman mad. more especially as She. i'm
formed all would-be purchasers that TO
10 buy the horse it would be necessary
to buy the dog first. At last curious
passer by concluded the bargain after
which the skillful woman handed over
five francs..to the family of her deceased
husband, and retained five hundred francs
tor herself, thus coutriving ut the same
time to carry ont the letter, if not the
spirit, OF the wishes of her husband, and
to secure the largest sum of money for
herself.
The story is good but we are not sure
that We have heard the tale told before,
with the scene laid in reland.-L0ndon
