The report Of railroad earnings for May
in the Financial Chronicle gives the in.
crease on torty.ive roads at s., 466. 457, or
l7S per cent, and only ten Of these roads
reported any decrease, most Of them being
unimportant. In spite Of the addition Of
nearly 1000 miles Of road, mostly in new
and spsrsely settled country, the earnings
per mile increase from S492 in May, 1880,
to sos in May, 1851. The important
gains were SSOS, 257 on the St, Paul, $685.
O6s on the Union Pacific, 1928 O72 on the
Denver & Rio Grsuds, $3.50. 5lS on the
Central Pacific, sl54,6S6 on the Louisville
& Nashville, $l3l, 247 on the Iron Noun
tain, and Sl26, $50 on the Texas Pacific.
Part Of the gain on Southern roads was
due to the increase Of 56,69s bales, or
nearly 70 per cent, in receipts Of cotton at
the ports, and part to the largely In
creased movement OF grain at the West in
consequence OF the delay in moving the
crops during the severe winter, But the
general movement Of products has been
remarkably large.

A CHICAGO rag dealer estimates that
each OF the 50, 10000 people Of the United
States dlscards an average Of FIVE pounds
of clothing yearly, which makes $50 OOO,'
900 pounds for the whole. Then, he says
there are the tailoring establishments, big
and little, whose cuttings are not much
less in quantity In the aggregate than the
cast off clothes Of the nation at large,
while their quality Os rags is greatly su'
perior. Then there are carpets and bed
ding, and curtains and other domestic ar
tiCles OF cloth Of some kind, which make
up a gpodly bulk in the course Of year.
Tuese different articles combined make up
another $50 900, 600 pounds Of cloth ma

and which eventually finds Its way into

ORGANIZATION OF TaE SENATE,

Our Washington dispatches state
that If the Democratic Senators still
insist upon immediate organization, the
republicans will abstain from Yoting the
question will then arise whether a quo
rum Of the Senate consists Of q major
ity of senators holding seats or of a
majority when all seats are filed.
There are now 81 democratic senator's,
80 republicans and 2 independents
namely Judge Davis and Gen. Malone;
if therefore it be decided that the quo
rum consists merely of the majority of
those holding seats, Oh il both indepen-
dents vote on the question of adopting
the list and thus make an i~ndisputable
quorum, the republicans will have to ac-
cept committee representation as assign
ed them, but in this event they will en-
deayor to reorganize the Senate, if it be
in session after four vacancies are filled,
provided that the positions which may
be taken by the independents shall by
that time afford them reasonable chance
of success in reopening the contest for
control. 1t was suggested at a repub-
lican caucus held Monday, that the
President should be advised to hold
back his nominations until the republi-
can vacancies shall have been filed, and
thus prevent the adjournment 20 De-
cember, which might otherwise be or
dered by the majority, after securing
control of the organization and trans.
acting the necessary business, and it was
argued that the nominations might be
properly thus delayed, in view of the
fact, that the Senate may in the mean
while devote its time to the considera-
tion of various pending treaties. A mo-
tion was also made authorizing the
President to reconvene the Senate in
the event of an adjournment, as often
as he may deem proper. The demo-
cratic caucus committee appointed Sat
urday to arrange for the majority repre-.
%sentation on the Senate committees.
have held several meetings and expect
ed to complete its labors in time to
report to the caucus held yesterday.
Senator Malone received invitations
both from democrats and republicans to
participate in their respective caucnses,
but has not attended either.

How Mexico is to be Acquired,

From the Austin CTex.) Statesman.
The sum total of Mexican subven-
tions made to railway lines, to be built
and controlled by Gould, Sage, Hun
tington. Nickerson and other citizens
Of the United States, is 500 600, 900.
The grants convey power to these men
to build roads over the most important
parts of Mexico, and to hold it until it
may be occupied by our people; and 1t
is no speculation to say that in q short
time its fertile lands and its rich graz
ing and mining districts will be in pos
session Of Americans. Although the
grants amount to 500, 000, 5000, Mexico
has not n dollar with which to pay, and
the claims must therefore remain as a
mortgage upon its territory. 1t is
suggested that the favored corpara-
lions, when they shall have built their
works, will demand the subsidies, and
failing to receive them. will call upon
their government to exact them, in the
anne was as the French government
attempted to enforce the Jecker claims
in 1854, by war.

Colorado, representing every county of

Teller and Hill and representative Bel
ford, called at the white house Monday
evening to pay their repects to Presi-

2eOO miles for the purpose of attending
the inaugural ceremonies of Friday
last, and that not one of them was
seeking office. After leaving the white
house the delegation repaired to their
headquarters, organized a Colorado
club and elected Senator Hill. president.
Representative Belford addressed the
Club and abiding TO the great silver
interests of Colorado, declared that the
time had come when the people of that
state must stand together just as the
people Of Pennsylvania stand together
for their peculiar interests.

THE HORIZONS IN THEIR OWN
DEFEySF.

A New York Tribune reporter on
Monday interviewed some prominent
Mormons now in that city. A. Little,
mayor of Salt Lake city, a polygamist,
said "Polygamy is not increasing.
There are a few who marry more than
n woman, but the far greater number
do not, because they respect law. As
one man said, 1T is not catching But
when you speak of the United States
government attempting to remove the
Mormons, why w do not scare worth a
cent. You must remember that we
have nearly 100000 people scattered
along some 500 miles, who are prosper
GUS, contented and well-to-do. A large
amount of wealth is represented, and 1t
would be a pretty serious undertaking
to break up the community. l do not
say what would happen, bul I do not
think the government will attempt any
such thing. The trouble is just this
the government does not send us men
who are fit to ill the positions to which
they are nominated. l speak now of
their qualifications as a general thing ;
we have had a few educated gentlemen
who have performed their duties well,
and won the respect of the people. But
the majority are very different. The
salaries are such that as a rule only bro
ken down politicians come to Utah."
Bishop John Sharp, one of the leaders
of the mormon church, said to the re-
porter: "One side of the case is just
this. Gov. Murray granted a certificate
to Campbell who had about 1900 votes,
instead of giving it to Cannon who had
about $4,000, on the ground that the
latter was not a citizen of the United
States. BY this action we claim that
Murray has violated law and taken ouI
rights from us The law plainly says
that the governor is to count the votes,
and give the certificate to the man re.
ceiving the greatest number, but leaves
to congress the power to decide whether
the man is eligible or not. Cannon has
already served eight times, and 1t was
the duty of congressto declare him an
improper representative.
"In our courts many millions Of dol.
lars are annually involved in mining
claims, while the judges presiding ovcr
these courts frequently hold their hands
behind their backs, because all they care
for is to make money to return east.
If the government would appoint men
who live among US, and who are inter-
ested in our prosperity, things would be
better. / don't mean Mormons, but
other respectable men who live among
us. 1t is a mistaken idea in the east
that a man can go to Salt Lake and
marry as many ome as he wants to
marry. Unless he is a respectable man,
who is likely to support his wives and
their children, the church will not allow
him to marry a second wife, and he
can't have two wives unless his position
is supported by our church."
