Passenger movement depends largely upon
populations But the increase in movement Of
passengers here shown has been greater than
The increase in population, though in fact much
travel has been diverted from these roads by
the oprnng of many new and wholly or
parfially connecting lines. The same cause
has probably affected the increase Of tonnage
to some extent; in fact, ii is known that the
PENNSYLVANIA brings to this city much larger
norton of the grain received here tlmn it
brought ten years or five years ago. The full
returns for that road for 1881 have NOT yet
been published, but in 1871 it tran ported
1Ol1. S92.2O7 tons one mile, and in 1850
2.29S, 3I7,323, showing an increase OF lZ6
per cent in nine years. The gain on the New
York Central and Erie, during the same time,
was little greater, III per cent, but the
PENNSYLVANIA has probably increased its traffic
during the past year more than the average OF
the other two roads, having for the first time
had the great advantage OF IN elevator here
an advantage which the Ncw-Gor< Central
and Erie had previously secured. The aggre-
gate traffic on the three roads increased from
2,797, G6G, 500 tons one mile in 1871 to
6.J9G,19S, 1919 tons one mile in 1850, a gain
of l3j per cent. And yet the increase from
1850 to 1851 was very large on all the roads.
Taking the movement on the two Newly Ork
roads as fair test of the volume of business
done, we find that there was a great increase,
even during the period of panic and prostra-
ton. From 1871 10 1876 the increase was -
per cent in five years. Though fortunes were
lost, and business was bad, and thousands of
merchants ceased to ship goods and hundreds
or mills and factories ceased to produce articles
to be shipped, nevertheless the increase i'll
quantities of products moved was more than
three times the increase i'll population. Even
after 1876. as all know, the depression in bust
ness continued very great, and the losses and
failures were enormous. But the productive
industry OF the country was at no time par
ayzcd. Commerce continued TO expand with
remarkable rapidty. There was an increase Of
more than 20 per cent in the traffic of the two
roads between 1876 ard 1S7S-the year OF
lowest prices and greatest disaster But after
chat year a wonderful advance commenced,
which has still continued. The increase from
1876 TO ISL, only five years, WAS over II
per cent.
In view Of this surprising growth, there is
surely little reason to take gloomy view OF
the situation Indeed, the only fear is that the
growth of business has been too rapid, 50 that
some pause or reaction may be necessary be-
fore the advance can begin again. But a ma
ton which increases its business II per cent
in five years has little cause to be disturbed
even if some reaction does come.

Large areas of South Jersey, which but a few
years ago were considered barren wastes are now
famous LOT their horticultural products, and IL is
fitting thai the state Horticultural Society should

Defaulting Cashier Baldwin, of the Me-
chanics' Bank of Newark, makes long state
ment about his connection with the concern.
There is nothing new i'll it. On the one point
of interest, what was done with the missing
money, he merely reasserts what he said when
arrested that it all went into Nugents bust
ness. That business of Nugents was curl
Gus and mysterious affair. Apparently 1t was
prosperous all the time for its manufacturing
operations were extensive and it's sales large,
and yet, according to Baldwin, it absorbed
over two millions of the banks money.
There is ray of light on the Irish prob
lem at last. Readers of the daily kilograms
from the island, describing riots, outrages and
assassinations, might well take hopeless view
of the state of affairs and conclude that Mr..
Gladstone's remedial measure had proved
failure. But in the midst of all the tumult
and lawessness the Land Act is steadily at
work and now it is announced that One-tourth
Of all the tenant-farmcrs needing relief have
come under the operations of the law, and
that competent persons believe the whole
1uestion will be settled in two years. If the
Government can find way of restraining the
brutal elements in the Land League from be-
having like the Ku~KluX in South Carolina in
the Reconstruction period, and maltIeatng or
numbering honest tenants who obey the laws
and pay their rents the land couits and com
missions will soon relieve the peasants of
.tbeir most serious burdens and grievances.
After what amounted practically to two TRIALS,
one by Court of Inquiry and one 10y Court
Martial, it appears that the machinery OF mill
tary Justice has not yet settled the question OF
whether Cadet Whitaker cut his own ear or 1t

Thu Gulteau trial was not interesting yestcr-
dav With the conclusion of Dr.. Gray's cTi-
dcnce the prosecution rested its case. one
witness was examined for the defence-Dr.
Bowker the physician of Guiteau's divorced
wife, who said she had frequently expressed to
him the fear that he was deranged. The prose-
cution objected to further evidence on the in
sanity question: and the Court sustained the
objection. Evidence as to the Cameron letter
was made unnecessary by the prosecutions adj
mltting that Guitcau wrote and sent it. The
assassin did about the usual proportion of the

besides, of the opinion that the verdict Is noU
warranted by the evidence. In view OF the
cruel prejudice at West Point against the col

brutal assault, most fair minded people Will be
glad to see the harsh verdict of thc Court Mar

A lawsuit for n iudgeship is an event which
Ncw-York may fairly clam as novelty IN
judicial proceedings. Whether William H..
AInoux or Richard 0GOrman is entitled to
the seat on tbe Superior Court bench recently
resigned by Judge Speir, is a question now
pending before CLief-Justice Sedgwick. OGor-
man was elected 10y the Democrats to take the
chances of prov ng that Judge Speir was past
seventy years Old at the date of the election
and therefore disqualified. Anoux was ap-
pointed 10y Governor Cornell to take the place
on December 81. the date when the Judges
resignation took eject. If O'GOrman is sue
cessful, nc holds the Office for the full term OF
fourteen years but if Arnoux wins the law
suit, his term only lasts till the vacancy can
be regularly filled at the next election. The

controversy is the real age of Judge Sper'

The Juvenile Craze for Tops, an
Their Varieties.

The juvenile Craze for Tops, and
Their Varieties.
The top mania has attacked the boys-not In
q mild, gentle form, but with all the malignt,
of an epidemic. The rage of the Is puzzle
among adults was nothing compared to the
power Of the top craze. The German boy is con
tent to see his top spin, but the American boy
never rested until he had invented two or three
lively games to play with tops. The Cleveland
Press says:
The primitive cheapest top is made by cut.
ting q spool in two. driving "a hard piece O,
wood into the hole, and working the small end
OF the spool down to q point. These tops are
spun by twirling them with the fingers. The
regulation top is made in turning lathe about
the size of pear, and provided with a steel
point. The best are made Of box wood and cost
81. The cheaper varieties vary in price from 2
to Is cents. The manipulation winds string
around the top, good fishing line is best) and
then with sudden jerk pull of the cord sends
it spinning on the sidewalk or ground. There
are numerous fancy varieties Of tops One is a
tin affair, almost fiat on the upper end, where
are attached numerous pieces of bright c0IOred
pastebOard. Touch these lightly as the top re-
wolves and the disarrangement Of the pieces
makes Kaleidoscope change Of colors SEEM
ingly never twice alike. Another is the hum
In one side. It makes some such noise as an
frritated hornet. The practical variety, how
ever, is the plain cheap top.
''What game do you play with tops?" asked
the writer Of q newsb0y.
He opened his big eyes wide with wonder
ment that any mortal should be so ignorant and
said: "Why, peg-a-tory and peg-er small-po
Don't you know how to play peg-er peg-a-t0ry?
Oh, yer fOolin! Honest now, don't yer know
how? Wall, It's this way: We pink for the

top with 'em. II boys top spins and rolls out

or don't roll out o. the ring he's got to put his

tops get In the ring, the first one that got In
takes hisn up and tries to knock the others out
AS many as he knocks out he hicks. Then. the
ones that are nicked are all right, an they peg
at the others to knock 'em out. That's peg-a-
tory. Peg or smallpox 10 where one hey puts

of this two minute top.

them by the people, and upon this condition:
that it ma be recalled by the will of that same
people Dy whom It was confided to them. -
This Is not Catholic doctrine, nor is it the doc
trine of the Scriptures, which teach: s.By me
kings reign, by me princes rule, and the mighty
decree justice" 'Give ear, you that rule peo-
pie, for power is given to you by God. and
strength by the Most High" LET every soul
be subject to the higher powers: for there is no
power but that Of God and those that are or
dained Of God"
While, on the one hand the Catholic doctrine
thus distinctly teaches that all power comes
from God, we must not be understood as teach
Ing that the people are not permitted voice In
the form Of government under which they shall
Hive; on the contrary. we teach with the SOW
ereign POntif Leo Kill, now glOriously reien-
ing: THAT they who are to be set over the re.
public may. In certain cases. be chosen by the
will and decision Of the people, without any OBJ
position or repugnance to Catholic doctrine. By
this choice the ruler Is desiguSted but rights of
government are not conferred and power is not
given. but 1t is determined by whom it ia to be
welded. There Is no question here Of the forms
OF government for there Is no reason why the
rule Of one or several should not be approved by
the church If only it Is just aud tends toward the
common good. Accordingly, justice being OBJ
served. people are not f0rbiddea to provide
themselves with ID vt kind Of government which
Is most suitable to their genius or the institu-
lions and customs 0f their ancestors"
There Is also growing disposition among q
esass q Cath0aics 20 teach that n e80e things
the priest receives his power from tho peodc
There y also deposition to draw llnes, end to
