Railroads and Real Estate.

According To a statement In the Boston
Post of S11 railroads in the United Sta-e,
only l@t have paid a dividend m the pas
year. The amount OF money invested by the
people IN the stock of these enterprises, In
anticipation OF a living income from their
Investments, must reach into hundreds of
million dollars. A like result has attended
he investment of money in the stock of
thousands OF other and different CORPORA
tions- We believe that JxticioGs investments
IN real estate in substantial AL growing
American cities have always been among the
surest sources of individual prosperity.
Real property is the foundation OF all Inoniesl
wealth In some cities the spirit of specula-
ton caused inflated prices, but we believe
that property In Washington was less in
Hated and has held its own better than In
any other metropolis in the country. The
growth and prosperity of Washington is as
sured from the fact that il is the capital of
our whole country of IS 600 600 OF inha bitants.
and as the business Of the nation increases
as II is continuously dOing-its effect upon
The progressive interests ofthe national ca nj
ial Is direct and enduring. II is with
pleasure that we chronicle decided increase
In the daily transfer OF Washington real
estate, for IL is one of the healthiest signs of
returning confidence and prosperity. To
secure a home is the safest of all invest
ments.

Recorder Wolf and the Christia ans.
In THE STAR OF Monday the following
M 70 ar,h

In THE STAR OF Monday the following
paragraph appeared:
elf our Schuetzenfest friends will take
word of advice they Will refrain from flauut
Ing tie red rag IN the face of the religious
community OF Washington as they did last
night Sunday by Illuminating their picto-
rial and noticed advertising arch at the con-
spicuous corner Of eth street and Pennsylya-
MIA avenue. A great many people who are
not bigots on the lager question, do object TO
this sort OF bravadO against the opinions OF
those who believe in the proper observance
OF the Christian sabbath"
In his speech at the closing OF the Schuet-
Zenfest last night Recorder Wolf after deal
ing with the attacks of the temperance peo-
pie upon the fest, proceeded to refer, as
quoted elsewhere, to the above suggestion
by THE STAR. With the acrimonious fight
on the temperance issue, we 10 not propose
10 NEEDLE just here, further than To express
the opinion that, as a temperance measure,
1T is great pity the national beverage of
Germany could not be substituted in this
country for the more fiery. intoxicating and
demoraliZing drinks in use. In the matter OF
THE STAR suggestion and Mr.. VOLTS COM
ments We have but wOrl. Ii is very kind
and tolerant of Mr.. Wolf To say that he
does not wage war upon Christians and
Christianity, and IL is liberal in him
to concede that there are really estimabIe
and conscientious Christians. both "men
and women" He should carry his liberation
OF the still rather large number of believers
In Christ to the extent of cOnceding some
thing to their lamentable, and blgoted, but
possibly honest prejudices against The dis
play Of triumphal arches on the Caristian
Sabbaih, advertising, with illumi
pictures, the joys and attractions OF that
place, where, TO quote from Mr.. Wolf, "those
citizens who AT other ii mes and places seem
10 be virtuOus and sober, throw of their
white robes and Haunt through the shady
mazes, arm in arm, with their fallen Chris
tan sisters Ii is undoubtedly true, as
Claimed. that the Schuetzen Nercin warmly
reProbate tie scenes witnessed nightly at the
Schueizenfest, but as they admittedly did
occur, not only This year but on previous
years, II would be well for Mr.. Wolf not To
be too hard on the bigoted Christians, VINO.
possibly on account OF their "fallen sisters"
object TO the display OF the illuminated pic
torial advertisements OF the fest on Sunday
Finally We have 10 say, that, from abundant
information, we ale satisfied that a large
proportion of the best German citizens of
Washington, including many, if not most, of
the mem beTS ofthe Nerein, cordially endorse
the moderate and kindly meant sugges-
ton made by THIS STAR on Monday. The
Schueizen Nerein is composed of excellent,
thoroughly respected citizens, who have no
disposition 10 array themselves in opposi-
ton TO the Christian sentiment of the COM
munity. The illuminated display of the ai-
Vertlslng arch Sunday night was simply a
mistake on the part OF whoever caused IL.
and is not likely 10 be repeated.

Love mourns In vain;
All no, ah no,

seat of war is little more interesting
this week. A grand victory for the
Russians is reported, in the capture Of
Nikopolis. Six thousand Eve hundred
prisoners, two Pachas, forty field can
non, twelve heavy caliber guns and
two monitors were taken. The Turks
burned their stores 10 prevent them
from falling into the hands Of the Rus
SLAMS. On the heights commanding
Nikopolis empty cartridge cases lying
in every direction, tell Of desperate
struggle. Thousands Of rifles, bayo-
nets and accoutrements are piled along
the road to the town, where . train Of
three hundred wounded Moslems await
removal into the improvised hospitals.
The battle lasted all day, and the
number killed and wounded on both
sides is tremendous. THE number
of Russians south of the Belkans Is
estimated at 1000. ministerial

The Cincinnati Enquirer, the stron.

States, says that out Of the seven
hundred million dollars Of paper mon
ey that the Government has in circu

held by the people themselves on their
persons and in their houses. II argues
from this, the sublime confidence that
the people have in their government
in its duration, in its honor, in its
credit, and in its greenbacks, and as
serts that there is not a man in the
United States who does not prefer
