But of course the manufacturers can
not afford to remain idle in perpetuity,

compelled to make terms with the
strikers, who, however much they may
be disenheartened by the outlook, out
wardly maintain bold front, and talk
of holding out, If need be, for another
year. In one important respect they
have an advantage over the manufac-

HOW LONG WILL THE srRIKE LAST

The philosophy upon which the
length of the strike was fOretold at its
beginning has not held good.
When the strike was inauguratel the
men freely expressed the opinion that it
would be ended in two weeks by the
surrender of the manufacturers, but
more than q month has elapsed and
there are no very assuring signs Of the
end yet.
The secret of the philosophy with
which the manufacturers are accepting
the situation is not far to find. 1t had
been supposed that as soon rs produc-
ton ceased there would be such a rise
in the price OF iron as would stimulate
importation and compel the home
manufacturer to resume proceedings in
order to prevent his foreign rival from
gaining absolute possession of the
market.
But these calculations have been dis
appointed. No such rise as mad been
counted upon has taken place. On the
contrary the rates have been unusually
firm. The Philadelphia North Ameri-
can gives some statements upon this
point that very clearly show the situa-
ton and explain the equanmity Of the
manufacturers. Ii says:
',P:n iron was quoted at S23.5S per ton
at the mill when the strike began; it Is
now held at from S2S to S24 on the same
terms. Manufactured iron which on
June l was offered at two and a-half
cents per pound is still selling at the
same figure. There has been an adj
vance in the price of nails, but differ
,ence Of ten cents per key IS in this
connection hardly worth notice. Nor
are there any signs Of change in these
respects. The demand Is so slack that
no difficulty whatever is experienced in
satisfying il out Of accumulated stock.
These are some of the circumstances
which account for the equanimity which
the manufacturers are displaying. To
them the suspension has been up to the
present time an advantage rather than

RESULTS OF THE ENGLISH n. X.
COMMIssION EXPERIMENT.

The annual report of the English Rail
way Commission has just been made,
and the comments of the English press
are extremely fiattering. They are of
opinion that the Commission answers
the purpose for which it was created,
exercises a salutary influence on the de-
tails of railroad management, and con-
fers benefit on the public, and that "Par-
Lament will do wisely to continue it,
perhaps charging its powers, and at
any rate, increasing the facilities OF
making application to it."
1t will be understood that this Com
mission is not q perpetual one. 1t was
VIeaIeu III 1915 as an experiment only,
and its powers will expire next Deem
Der, unless Parliament renews them.
1t is also important to notice that the
powers of English commission are not
limited to collecting and reporting, to
the legislature, information on the pro-
gress of railroad construction and the
development of the management and
traffic, which is the only office Of the
commissions that have been established
in this country.
The English commission is species
of court. 1t has tolerably broad author
ity to decide controversies, both those
which arise between passengers or Gus
toners and q road and those created by
the competition of various roads with
each other. 1t entertains complaints
hears proofs, and renders judgment
and its decisions are enforced much
like those of a court of justice.
Some of the powers of the English
Commission are to hear and decide
complaints of the people of neighbor-
hood that the railroad company does
not afford reasonable facilities for the
traffic of the regiOn-which seems to be
an important class of the controversies
arising in England; they compeS
companies to rebuild dilapidated
stations, enlarge Ia senger aparS-
ments, improve cars, or increase
precautions for safety of trains. The
English Commission can also require
Improvements to be madein advance of
any specific injury. They, of course,
hear complaints of discrimination in
freights, where, for example, a company
gives undue preference to one shipper
in rates not allowed to another; or
where through freights or fares are not
justly proportioned to those for way
traffic. They also hear and determine
controversies between connecting or
competing roads, and between railroads
and canals, or steamboat companies.
When it is considered that any one
decision is not limited, like verdict in
a law suit, to securing justice in a single
instance, but operates as a permanent
enlargement of facilities to the public or
a permanent rule for conducting the
business of the road in future, it will be
seen that a very small number of judg-
ments may accomplish great amount
of public good.
This report ofthe English Commission
will be scanned with much interest in
this country where the plan is being
generally discussed, and it is quite GER
tain that it affords solid encourage
ment to the advocates of such a plan
for regulating railroad traffic.

crop now being, or soon to be, harvest
ed Is enormous and Of fine quality
one ofthe best crops ever grown in this

IT is said that many valuable reports
of the Census Bureau are lying in the
Government Printing Office in manu-
script, awaiting the authority Of Con-
gress for their publication. After SPEND
ing several million dollars to secure the
information it is certainly in the line of
economy to publish it, particularly as
its value lessons very rapidly with the
delay of publication. The Government
Printing Office is at the same time
choked with buneombe speeches and
Congressional reports that are compare.
lively worthless. Ifthe printing of the
census reports is delayed much longer
they will be valuable only as matters of

The RaihC0y Age, giving summary
of the railway building for the first six
months of 1882, says the totals are as
tonishing. Track has been laid on at
least 179 lines in 81 States and Terrific
ries, adding a mileage of main track ,ag-
gregating 1890, or, in round numbers,
5000 miles. How extraordinary has
been the work of the past season in
comparison with its predecessors may
be seen by the fact that while it shows
nearly 5000 miles of new road the ag-
gregate reported for the same period
last year was only little over 1000
miles, and during the same period Of no
previous year has it equalled even that
amount. In all of the Western and
Southern States and Territories railway
building is being actively pushed. The
total mileage ofthe United States is now
more than l07, 600 miles.

THE coal oil interest in this country is
only about twenty years old, and yet it
is one of the most important vacations
that are presented in our statistical re-
turns. There is not, probably, any other
interest that has brought as large a
profit in proportion to the amount of
expenditure. The yield of oil wells,
chiefly in Pennsylvania, last year was
2s,95O,OOO barrels, and the exports were
valued at 4O,S15,OOO. The Importance
cfthese figures may be estimated when
it is remembered that twenty years ago
we exported no coal oil at all. 1t is a
new and clear addition to the list of our
products. 1t is said that the oil wells
have added 81, 500, 900, 900 to the stock of
the country's wealth.

LITTLE more than half a century has
elapsed since the first railroad in this
country was built. There are now hv-

the first railroad in the United States.
And yet such has been the fairy-hks
growth of railroads that now there is an
amount OF capital invested in them
directly and indirectly sufficient TO pay
off the debt of Great Britain and this
country combined.

Telegraph Poles in China.

(Froln the Youths Companion.l
We must not deal rudely with GEN.
timent that anyone holds sacred. how
ever absurd it may seem to us. A
heather peoples religious ideas always
make the most stubborn obstacle in the
way Of enlightened inventions and of the
progress of knowledge and social i'm
provement. But instead of doing vio-
lence to their ancient notions it is wise
to give way to them-till they can be
educated out ofthem. The singular ob-
stacle to the building of telegraph lines
in China, wherea superstition (not with
out an element of tender poetry has
stopped the setting of the telegraph
poles, illustrates this truth:
In China ancestors are held is pecu-
liar reverence: The Chinese look upon
the casting Of shadow over an ances-
tors grave as an insult, and resent it with
impetuous anger.
Chinese ancestors are buried, not in
Large cemeteries, but in the family
burial grounds. As China is thickly
inhabited, the result is that an ances-
tors bones may be found resting beneath
every few rods of turf. Hence novel
cause of trouble to telegraph COM
pany in that country.
The company erected poles on which
to hang the wires. The poles and wires
cast necessarily more or less of q shad-
ow. Every Chinaman or whose ances-
tors grave q shadow rested forthwith
arose in his wrath and cut down the
poles.
The consequence has been, as mat
ter OF economy and self.protection, the
company has placed the wires under
ground.
