1t IL here shown that liberal Increase OF OPP
Grating expenses is provided for the year.
The increased earnings of the road is largely
due to an increase in the freight traffic, which
will appear in the following:
Freight earnings for the y'r 1882 Sc, 90
Freight earnings for the first six
months OF 1873. ........-.-..-... 51oySc4UO
And for entire year of 1888 on
basis of first months. 1OIO,56SOO
The reduction of rates made under the
ruling of the Board equitably applied along
the line of the Central Branch road, and
due allowance made for terminal charges,
will not effect so great reduction as is an
ticipated by respondent company. While
1t is not always entirely safe to anticipate
future earnings from the ration of increase
obtaining at any one time, yet we cannot
but regard the continually increasing
traffic of this road as a most favorable
augury for the future. In addition to the
figures already given under this head, we
desire to poin out the further fact that the
average earnings of the road for July, Au-
gust and September, 1888, are greatly in
excess of the average monthly earnings for
the year, ended June so, of this year. This
is the most significant from the fact that
those months bring the lightest traffic and
the poorest financial return, not only over
this road, but, so far as we have been able
to ascertain, from reports to this Office, on
all other roads operating in Kansas.
The traffic over the road for the
three months named over the traffic
indicated by the receipts or
earnings, has increased SO per cent. II the
same ratio of increase were to continue up
on the business of the whole year, and the
present rates were maintained, the receipts
of the company would register upwards Of
two millions of dollars. While this Is q
result which it would perhaps be too san
guine to anticipate, it is q well known fact
that the volume of traffic over the Central
Branch for the ensuing year win very con-
siderably exceed the business for any pre-
ceding year. At present we are unable 10
perceive q sufficient reason to recede from
our decision made on the 9th of Septern-
Der. II, in the future, it should appear TO
the satisfaction of the Board that the rates
hxed in that decision should prove to be in
sufficient remuneration for the service per-
formed, or should require modification, the
Board viii feel at liberty to make such adj
justmeuts Of them as VIII be fair and just
to all concerned The people living along

IL is evident that Woodward & Lothrop pro-

what they are doing in the line Of dry goods,
as they have just contracted with THE RE-
PUBLICAN for the column in which their adj
vertisement is displayed to-day, and In which
they say they will place some interesting
matter from week to week.
In Conversation yesterday they gave the
reasons for their success in advertising.
They advertise only the class Of goods tho
people wnnt.
They advertise no price which they cannot
maintain.
They advertise no goods which they do not
have TO show.
They promptly refund the money, or ex-
change for other goods, any article returned
in good condition.
They have only ono price, aud to this
principle Cfor 1t is principle with them) they
rigidly adhere. On this basis they say they
have asked tho patronage of the Washington
public and not altogether in vain, as their
progress in three years would indicate.
They propose TO take no steps backward,
and to allow none to be in advance of them
in accommodating the purchasing public or in
placing before them good goods at low prices.

the trouble grew out of misunderstanding
between the captain of the ship and the
American consul, which led to q lawsuit,
pending the settlement of which the ship was
detained under civil process. The affair,
however, did not involve any controversy
with the local authorities, and through the
