How about the court bill Is justice still
to be denied for want of attention by re-
publican house to senate bill, tho passage of

and relieve the supreme court of vast amount
of work that could be done by the lower

Tic pale and silent night
Has cast her mantle o'or the burning west,
And stlled the tumult Of the world Of light
Deep into rest.
On dark and leaden plumes
The twilight droops athw0rt the closing sky,
And in the gathering WILDERNESS of glooms
Her shadows lie.
And from the misty strand
The zephyrs floating idly forth are driven
On the vail, where, dim and distant, stand
The hills Of heaven.
And, breaking from repose,
Thestars down quiyering through the dusk screen
Hume the beacons Of the airy close
With light serene.
With golden luster dim,
The crescent moon is hoYering on high,
Her pale light drifting slowly DER the rim
OF the blue sky.
Beneath the bounding arch,
watched the glowing cycles as they run,
All passing in grand triumphal march.
10 meet the sun.
And so wait alone
Until the glory of the night has ceased,
And the red eagle mounts his blazing throne
In tho lar east.

Aid for the SheIterIess,

Theterrible floods in the west have caused
great suffering in Cincinnati, Louisville, JEFF
fersonvillc, Evansville, and many other towns
on the Ohio river. Thousands are homeless,
and business is suspended. Time and again,
calamities causing much less widespread
distress, have enlisted the largest sympathes
of our people. Now there should be an or
ganized movement to raise money for the suf-
ferers. This is sure to be done in all the
great cities of the union, No mere call
for subscription through the newspapers will
produce results. Some of our publc-spirited
and benevolent citizens should arrange for a
meeting at once, at which u collection COM
mittee may be appointed numerous enough to
give each member very small district to
visit, thus insuring a speedy report with the
cash. What could make louder call upon
our sympathies than the knowledge that cities
and towns are aaoat, and that hunger and ex-
posure arc fighting for the lives of men,
women, and children of our own country?

American RniIroads.

1t appears by the census that there were
81, s9l miles of railroads in the United States
on tho thirtieth of June, 1880 Tho cost of
these roads, as represented by tho paid-up
stock and indebtedness, is stated at So 425 722,-
500. This would make the average cost per
mile $62, 1922. When one considers the pro-
portion of nearly level ground over which he
travels, where no grading was needed, and
where the cost of the road could not exceed
$4,000 mile, it is difficult to believe
that $22,500 would not far more
than represent the actual average cost per
milo of American railroads. This would
leave bogus OF inflated value of $4,000 a
mile, represented by watered stock and
manufactured indebtedness, being an aggre-
gate of about $3,5OO,OOO,OOO of purely hcti,
tious capital on which interest and dividends
are extorted from the public,
The railroads yield six per cent interest
TO their bondholders, and more than that in
dividends to their stockholders. That is six
per cent. on the sum total of the real and
the manufactured or imaginary investment
aud really about eighteen per cont
on the real cost OF the roads

The New rive Cent pieces.

4 rumor was IN circulation yesterday That
an order had been issued to discontinue tho

the fact that the supply of the new coins at

tend to order any more ofthc new coin for the
present, and not until it is decided whether
or not to continue their coinage Secretary

A Clenr Case OF Hlndsight.

1t should not be forgotten that this tremen-

great food was caused by the spring rains melt
lug suddenly an immense accumulation Of SHOWS
on the mountains. This year there was no such
great accumulation. 1t is the direct result Of
heavy rains rushing directly into the streams, uu-
checked by the roots of trees and shrubs and the
absorbing power of the forests.
