The railroad debt of the United
States is more than twice its ma
tiOnal debt. The latter, according
to the last Treasury statement, was,
inclusive of fhe 'FegaF tenders, 81
Dos, 30l, 1892. The railroad debt, in-
Guiding stock, bonds and floating
liabilities, ia an increasing quantity.
What it is to-day no one knows,
but when "Poors' Manual" was
prepared it was put down at s., 1853
59l ,935.-Chicsgo Tribune.
Putting the railroad debt at 81, 500
100000, with an average interest of
8 per cent. would make $36O,OO0, 600
yearly interest. Now who pays
this2 The producers or farmers
mainly, in the way of high rates of
freights on both what they produce
and what they buy. And probably
most of this interest goes to Europe.

We cannot help but congratulate
the advocates of specie payment
ia 1872" on the accommodating evil
dence of progress that the country
is making toward that grand event.
The "salutary" process Of restoring
normal values" developes finely.
We have now the quarterly report
of r. G. Dun s. Co.'s commerercial
agency for the quarter ending Ju-
iy 1, 1877, and it contains the list of
failures of business men during that
quarter. 1t is almost inspiring, and
we trust that the believers In the
necessity and benefits of resuming
specie payment will derive solid
comfort from the. perusal and COM
parison of the figures it gives. For
instance, we find that the failures of
business men in the United States
for 1875 and 1876, and the first half
of 1877, are stated as follows:
no 81 FAILURES. Liabilities
First half OF 1875 $500 $76,Te4 266
First half OF 1875 1900 106,415, 900
First half of 1871 A,T49 99eO6 600
1t will be seen that the first six
months of 1877 have resulted in
more failures than the correspond
ing period of any year in orr histo-
ry. The report by quarter years for
1875, 1876, and 1877, is as follows:

SAYS the San Francisco Post; The
effort to dislodge Cinnamon from
their points of vantage in California
has been only partially successful.
They change position, but cling with
greater tenacity than ever to the in
industrial avenues of the State.
Nothing will do the work effectually
except general refusal to employ or
buy from, or to have any, even the
slightest, intercourse with them. Let
their sources of income be cut of,
and the Six Companies will soon tire
of maintaining an army of paupers
in this city, and to save themselves
must ship them off to other countries
where they may be acceptable, or to
Honkong, whence they came.

JUDGE WHEELER has denied the
motion to set aside the judgment
in the case of Flora NJ. Pinney VS..
George NJ. Pinney Judge Wheeler
said that this case was decided a
little more than year ago, resulting
in a decree of divorce being granted
to the plaintiff. The defendant was
absent from the State at the time,
and service by summons had to be
done by publication. He returned
to the State last April, but did not
file his motion to vacate the judgment
against him until one day after the
time of one year approved by the
statute. The ground taken for the
motion was irregularity in the SER
vice. This was entirely untenable,
as service had been made according
to law, and the court was held to a
strict construction of the statute.

SAYS the Carson Tribune; The
fact of the matter is, try to patch il
up as they may, those who held the
reins of government the past eight
years have by their cbicanery been
pandering to money instead of prin-
ciple. Their determination to rule
forever or ruin all brought the glori-
Gus old Union Republican party into
such disrepute that the rank and file
will have no more of it until it is
purged of its impurities and other
and better men are placed in posi-
tons of power and trust in govern
mental matters. Let this be done,
let the reforms so necessary to the
party be perfected, and there will be
such revival IN the good old party
as will make Moody and Sankey
ashamed of themselves.

MAJOR RUSSELL, in his "Russian
Wars with Turkey" says: Eight
times has Turkey been in danger
from Russia; twice, in I'LL and
1893, she has saved herself by the
force of her own arms; twice, in 1874
and 1929 has she been saved by the
plague; once, in 1907, has size been
saved by accidental circumstances
and three times, 1901, 1912 and 1858
has she been saved by the interven-
ton of other Powers. In truth, g

ing of the great number Of organi-
cations aud conventions which figured
in the recent election in San Fran
cisco, has the following: The indi
vidual member had first 30 be pla-
Gated, and then the convention as
whole. The line which divides this
sort OF thing from matchmaking of
the most audacious character is SO
thin as to be scarcely discernible.
The local Offices. as matter of fact,
were sod out in advance for sum
ranging between $250,000 and
$500, 900, against half million ask
ed. If they were put up at public
auction there would have been diff
ference in the directness OF the
operation, but nothing more. Nor,
having gone through the regular and
"piece' conventions, we're the candi-
dates allowed to rest. The club form
of blackmailing had next to be con-
fronted. Some Of these made pre-
tence of being benevolent. But 'he
great majority wanted coin directly
for their votes. There was no dis
guise Of the fact that they were or
ganized merely for election purposes.
