The Germnn EIections.


BERLIN, October S1st.-The Liberals ex-
pect to secure 20 out Of 90 seats on the second
ballot, making their total strength in the
Rsichstag 100. The Government officials
committed great abuses at Lovenburg, where
Liberals were arrested A great pressure
was also exercised in favor of the Conserva-
tiyes in Schleswig- Holstein and West Prus-
STA. The firm aiherents of Bismarck in the
Reichstag viii probably not number more
than third He will have to negotiate
and maneuver more deyterously to carry out
his economy schemes. 1t is not believed that
Bismarck will try to conciliate the Clericals
bv granting concessions in regard to the
Culturkampf. Therefore it is prophesied, as
a broad result Of the elections, that he must
either frankly return to what his opponents
call the liberal policy, or bring about COM
pIete stsudstill in the domestic situation.

Steamboat Inspection.

General Dumont, Supervising Inspector
General of Steamboats,, in his annual re-
port, recommends that the s'Board Of Su
pervising Inspectors be abolished, and in
stead thereof that the Secretary of the
Treasury be empowered to convene a mixed
committee, composed of Supervising local
and assistant Inspectors, to examine and
report to him upon the efficiency OF any de-
vice to be used upon steam-vessels which
requires his approval. In the matter OF APP
pointments, General Dumont says:
would respectfully suggest the ACCESSIBILITY
ofappomting Supervising local and assistant
Inspectors by the Secretary of the Treas
ury upon nomination, in each case, of the
immediate superior officer of each grade,
thereby properly holding each superior
officer responsible forthe general fitness and
efficiency Of his immediate subordinate, and
also giving the superior officer power to
suspend any subordinate pending investiga-
ton of charges by the Secretary of the
Treasury involving incompetency, neglect
OF duty, or misbehavior OF the subordinate.
AS upon faithful performance Of duty by Of
ficers of this service depend the lives of mil
lions OF people and the safety OF an incalcu-
liable amount of property annually, the
necessity OF dealing promptly and sum-
marily with any to whom even suspicion
attaches of neglect of duty must be consid :
cred as of more importance than the inter-
est of the single person affected by such
summary action. The files of the Office
record one experience when fifteen valuable
human lives were the penalty paid for con-
tinuing the duties of negligent officer
pending examination of charges of remiss-
ness Of duty in cases were lives were pre-
violsly lost -

ssThe Railway Problem

The report on "The Railroad Problem
by Joseph Nimmo, Jr., Chief of the Bureau
of Statistics, embraces discussion of the fol-
lowing subjects: Reduction in cost of trans
portation on railroads; practical determi-
nation Of railroad freight charges; railroad
considerations or pooling organizations;
causes OF the failure of the laws OF supply
and demand and of competition to regulate
freight charges on railroads as ON free high
ways OF commerce; the practical working Of
railroad confedergtions; the practicability
sof Governmental Recognition of railroad
considerations for tie pooling Of traffic and
Governmental regulation of railroads.
Under the head PRODUCTION in the
cost Of transportation on railroads."
the reduction in the cost OF transport
tation ON the railroads Of the country gen.
erall9 is very clearly .indicat@ by a table
embracing sdata with respect to thirteen
leading railroads. 1t appears that the num-
Der of tons Of freight carried on these thir-
teen roads increased from IS, 557, 002 tons
during 1873 to Is, 15O, 913, tons in 1880, an in
crease OF shout seventy -one per, cent? Re.
ceipts from freight, however, increased
from $112, O04 ,64S in 1878 to $143, 1856, 178 in
1850, an increase Of only about twsnty eight
ceipts In proportion to the increase Of traffic
was due to the fact that the average rate
per ton charged on these thirteen railroads
fell from l. II cents per ton per mile In 1873,
to 1.07 cents per ton per mile in 1880, de-
crease of 39.5 per cent. A commission OF
experts is recommended for Investigation Of
the subject of railroad transportation.
