How the Railroads are Affected by the
River Route.

Chicago Times: The river COMPETE
ton is proving dangerous to the inter-
ests of the railroads, and if they mean
to do profitable business hereafter
they must make a substantial reduc-
ton in the rates to meet that compe-
tition. Heretofore the trunk lines
could afford to keep up the rates, Tor,
although they got but little during
the summer, they had the field TO
themselves during the winter. But
since the establishment of the st. Louis
barge lines they will have to meet the
lake competition from st. Louis dur
ing the winter. This makes it i'm
possible for the eastern trunk lines to
stick to their decision of keeping the
summer rate on grain at the basis Of
thirty cents per 100 pounds from Chi
cago to New York, and the winter
rate at forty cents. The lines east
from st. Louis and those east from
Chicago viii be the principal sufferers
from the competition. 1t does not
affect the roads west of st. Louis and
Chicago at all, because they will have
TO bring the business that goes via the
barge lines to Chicago. The trunk
lines east from Buffalo and other lake
ports will also be able to stand it. as
they get good deal of business from
the lines at those ports, and the high
er the all-rail rates the larger viii be
their proportion on the business they
receive from the lakes. But where will
the lines east from st. Lous and Chi
cago get their business from with rail
rates so much higher than lake or
river rates? If the present policy of
keeping up high rail rates prevails,
the Michigan Central, Lake Shore,
Fort Wayne, Baltimore and Ohio,
Vandalia, indianapolis and st. Loas,
Ohio and Mississippi, and other lines
will die of starvation, and their secur-
tiles will not be worth the paper they
are written upon. 1t is about time
that these roads awake to the emer-
gency and take steps that will save
them from utter ruin.

Advertising that Paid.

Johnny Manning, the Sheriff at
Deadwood, ID. T., was in st. Louis on
business, and he remembered that the
year before a st. Louis man had been
up to Deadwood and left owing a man
several hundred dollars, which was to
be paid as soon as he got home. Man
ming met the man in ST. Louis, and he
said he would hand him the money
the next day, but the days passed and
the money did not come, though the
man was amply able to pay. So one
morning Manning inserted personal
in a newspaper to the effect that il the
man who left Deadwood between two
days did not pay the money he forgot
to pay the night before, the whole cir
cumstance would be published the
next day. The notice was signed
'John Manning, Sheriff ofDeadwood."
Before nine o'clock a young man called
at ManniDg's hotel, and said he had
seen the notice and had come TO pay
$500 he had borrowed to get out of
Deadwood. Manning found out who
the money was borrowed of and took
it to carry to the Deadwood citizen,
remarking that he was not the man
the Sheriff referred to- hut it was a
mighty mean Sheriff that would not
carry money to a friend The next
man to call was the one he wanted,
and he paid the money and apologized,

The New York DAILY Iadicator::
An able and always interesting and
sectional journal, reads to the peopIeof
the South a short homily which is
worthy of consideration. 1t SAYS:
Our Southern brethren have recent
" made, considering their antecedent..
rapid and large strides towards devel<
oDing the resources of their country
by erecting cotton mills and other ex-
pensive works, that we are glad to say
generally prove remunerative. There
remains however, a field that they
have overlooked to which we call
their attention. We mean minor man.
ufacturing industries. 1t would pay
Southern men, with the interests of
their section at heart. to make excur-
sions into the back country If the New
England states and the North gener-
ally. They would find on every avail
al lie waterfall factory, small orlarge,
generally small, turning out every
thing conceivable, from match box
to a piano. These minor industries
are of great importance, and without
being prepared to 90 into figures we
think that a given sum of money thus
invested would do more good BY Civ
ing employment to a -grelter number
of people than any equal amount put
into, say, cotton factory.
We are acquainted with thriving
village i'll Northern New York that
was formerly devoted to manufacture
ing lumber. As the forests diminish
ed in extent the inhabitants looked fer
other sources of employment. A
young man started a shirt factory in
a small and unpretending way, en-
ploying about dozen girls. In
very few years this little industry ex-
panded, unfNk so, 0000 are paid
out annually Images. Then paper
pulp was made from wood, and a
mouse-trap factory is in successful
operation. In this same village
wagon-spoke factory is doing well, the
proprietor getting his white oak at a
cost of SIS cord. We sent to him
some samples of this timber from Vir-
ginia, that were manufactured into
spOkes, and pronounced equal to the
best.
1t is difficult to raise 100000, but
the capital required for one of these
small factories can be easily obtained.
One success leads to another, and the
habits of manufacturing once acquired
will always find some want unsuppli-
ed, some improvement to be made

A Crisis in Cotton.

A London correspondent of the
Manchester Guardian says: ''The cri-
SIS which has been developing in the
Russian cotton trade for two months
past has resulted in a complete cessa-
ton in the demand at st. Petersburg
for coarse calicoes for the province,
100000 pieces having accumulated
during that period. 81 the smaller
manufactures have decided to close
their mills; only few of the large
manufactures will remain open, and
these only working on short time, in
hope of a revival of trade. The cotton
trade at Warsaw and Moscow is in a
similar state of depression, and at the
latter place heavy failures are feared.
Russian imports of raw cotton are di-
minished thirty per cent of thread
eight per cent, and of silk, forty per
cent. The cloth trade is also at a
standstill. The iron trade is even
worse. Many English merchants, de-

Don't Dare Say Anything.

A Washington correspondent says
The new appointments in the depart
ments are a never ending topic of con-
Sideration. A man who has just been
appointed to a l,400 clerkship in the
Pension Office, is a blacksmith by
trade, and has worked at the trade all
his life, and can handle tar cannon
about as easy as he can a pen. He
says to me, .'what in the hell shall
do? / can't write; just look at that
arm-feel the muscle" Get thirty DAYS
leave, was my reply, and go to wO-
mans school. And he has followed
the advice. Several of the new APP
pointees in the bureau, 81, 400 and ST.
600 clerks are being instructed in their
duties by 500 and $500 clerks. They
don't like il, of course, but then they
don't dare say anything.

An Immense and ProfitabIe Trade.

New Orleans Picdyuae: There is
nothing in the way of a rate of growth
equal to that of last season in the bus
mess at this point, except the supplies
gathered together at st. Louis. All
the necessary means of transportation
are now ready for more business than
is offered for the Mississippi river
route. There are now actually EN-
ployed in this trade $50 barges, which
gives carrying capacity of 100000 TO
100000 of bushels. The buildin. of
more river tonnage is progressing rap
idly, and the supply will be kept up
to the demand. If the requirements
should demand it, twice the number
now in use can be had without diff
Guilty. y The entire cost of the
round trip of one of our lines of bar
ges is given by well informed parties
at $1,000 each. This is more than
paid by the freight on return trip.
Therefore, tow bringing down 300,-
600 bushels of grain as low as five
cents bushel woul get a net profit
of $4,000, and that in less than a
month. In order fully to appreciate
these figures it is only necessary to
-Fecollect that 100000 bushels of grain
can be brought down the river on six
barges, which cost $1,000 each. From
this it will be perceived that the min
imun rates per barge line have not
been reached yet. and that even
charge of three cents per bushel for
grain by the Mississippi river would
not only be possible, but profitable.
Under any contingencies, therefore,
that might arise involving reduction
Of freight on the Erie and Welland ca
sails, the barge lines upon the Missis-
sippi river can successfully compete.
The entire grain product of the north
west, beyond the Missouri, and much
of that growth between the Mississip-
pi and the Missouri, now controlled by
Chicago, must find its way down the
Mississippi to our city in seeking a
foreign market. Even by the railroad
to Cairo, and thence down the Missis-
sippi, grain from Illinois can be taken
to the seaboard at lower rate than
by any route to New York. If ca

been strongly advocated it would be-

Cause and EfOct.

CAUsE.-There are in Chicago about
three thousand saloons, running night
and day, and seven days in the week.
There are score of Sunday theaters.
EFFECT.-Thcre are nineteen muir
derers in our Jail.
Our House of Correction is full.
Stabbing and shooting affrays are of
almost nightly occurrence.
AT the close of every session of the
Criminal Court, nearly carload of
prisoners are sent to the penitentiary.
Our poorhouse is full.
Our property is taxed heavily to
meet the expense of liquor selling and
liquor drinking.
Wretchedness and woe are carried
into thousands of families.
Every intelligent citizen knows all
this, and yet we as a community take
upon ourselves the responsibility of it
by licensing the saloon, and thus be-
come indirectly chargeable with all
the vice, crime and misery resulting
from the liquor traffic, around which
we throw protection through legal
sanction. God beholdeth us.-SigHdl.

So long as brain-WOrker is able to
sleep well, to eat web, and to take a
fair proportion of outdoor exercise. it
is not necessary to impose any special
limits on the actual numbcr Of hours
he deyotes to his labOrs. But when
what is generally known as worry
steps into cOmplicate matters, when
cares connected with family arrange
meEtS, or with those numerous per-
sonal details which we can seldom es-
cape, cntervene. or when the daily
occupation Of life is in itself a fertile
source of anxiety, then we find one or
the other of these three safeguards
broken down. Probably the man 81
business or the successful lawyer fails
to shake himself free from his ankle
ties at night, and slumber becomes
fitful or disturbed. The nervous sys-
tenn, unsettled by the mental strain,
brings about various defects in nutri-
ton; the appetite fails, and then we
meet with sleeplessness. Thisis some
times gotten rid of by drinking water,
eating little and taking exercise, or by
drinking every day a large quantity
of water, and exchanging a highly
nutrition regimen for much lighter
dietary. There can be no doubt that
in many cases great benefit would be
derived from a thorough change Of
locality or climate. Long sea VOYAGES
are not unfrequently attended with
excellent results, the attacks being alb
sent for months at time.
