Average Expense of Operating Iowa Rail-
WAYS.

The percentages of expenses to earnings of
the eight more important roads in Iowa in 1888,
as shown by official figures, only vary between
60 6l-1OO and 81 per cent. The Cedar Rapids Sc
Northern was operated on 68 97-1OO per cent;
the CentralIowa, 81 G6-1OO; c., B & @, main line,
81 77-1OO; the c., NJ & st. P. 81; theC & N. w,
So the c. & r.. L, 81 27-1OO; the Illinois Central,
So the Wabash, 60 61-lOO per cent. This state
ment shows that the Illinois Central had the
lowest and the Wabash the highest percentage
OF expenses Of the eight roads, and that while
the Illinois Central operated at cost of only
81 TG6 60 per mile, and the Northwest at cost
81 lOl 81 per mile; the latter's percentage of ex
penses to earnings was only two points less than
that of the Illinois Central A more extreme
comparison might be made between the Illinois
Central and the Rock Island whose percentage
of expenses was 57.27. It should be borne In
mind, 99weyer, that the Wabash people are
practically new competitors in this field, and
necessarily their expenses are larger than those
of the older roads

The Central Iowa People Opposed to the
Construction Scheme,


Alfred Sully, of New York who is largely in
terested in the Central Iowa road as well as the
l., B. & W. system, is in the city, and when
questioned as to the statement which appeared
in the Journal few days since to the effect that
a movement was on foot to consolidate the Cen
trail Iowa with the Peoria, Decatur & Evansville
and the Lake Erie & Western road, building tho
link needed between Bloomington and Peoria.
Mir. Sully said that such a proposition had been
made but he was not in favor. were a major
ity of the directors, of consolidating the Central
Iowa with two weaker roads. We're they stronger
lines he might favor it. He thought very likely
the p, d. 4 E. and the L. E. e. w. would, in
the near future, be consolidated which would
necessitate, of course, the building of the piece
of road between Bloomington and Peoria, but that
the Central Iowa would not come into any such
arrangement. He thought the Central Iowa
had bright future The road was being put
into good condition physically rapidly. The
Mississippi river would be bridged at Keithsburg
within the next four months with fine iron
bridge, the contract to build it having been let,
and the business of the road was developing to
an extent tar ahead of the most sanglline ex-
pectations. Mr.. Sully, who is as WELL interested
in the Ohio Southern road operated by the l.,
Il. d W., has spent couple of days of this
week on that road, and he predicts grand
come-out to the road when contemplated inn
proYements are completed and the road is prop.
erly equipped, which will be in the near future.

equipped for contest with any rival, no matter
how large and its attitude in the controversy

Nh attempted Apothoosis OF
Misccgenation.
From the Richmond VA State

From the Richmond (Va.) STATED
That lcchcrons old negro, Fred.
Douglass, whose life effort has not been
50 much the emancipation Of his race as
the forcing of himself, along with all
others Of his color, upon the whites,
has reached the climax of his hopes in
his marriage with white woman.
True, mixed marriages have occurred
heretofore, but rarely, aud it must now
be believed that this so-calcd apostle of
his race thus proposes to lay down Il
marked precedent, and lead the way to
the custom of mixed marriages hereaf-
ter.
II seems that the peculiar person
whom Douglass took to himself us his
wife has been II clerk in his office at
Washington, and thus he appears in the
light of taking pity on white woman
and marrying her to give her the luvu-
rics and protection Of his home. But
the chief purpose Of this ambitious pct
OF the Republican party was to cXcmpli-
fy all h,s dangerous teachings in this
wedding OF white with black.
The National Republican contains an
elaborate account Of this "socicty event"
which appears under the lursc.lettercd
heading, 4 Back Mans Bride"
DougnSs is described as "wilh his af.
iianccd on his arm" and the Com
poSurc' and reserve of the "bridc'
during the ceremony are delcatciy set
forth. The Republican reaches its low
est depth when it thus describes the
close Of this de5asng farce entitled
"On the conclusion of the ceremony,
and Of the hearty congratulations Of DR..
Grimke aud family, the grand old
man and his BRIDE again entered the
carriagc, man and wife"
Fine rhetoric, but moral stencil
- Grand old man" is the name with
which the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES or,
gan at Washington tricks out this prac-
tlcing preacher of the foul doctrine of
mIscegcnatlon. But all this vicious
trash, which we find in the National Re.
publican, without single word of dis.
sent or condemnation, is endorsed by
Malone and Riddleborger, who, in pub.
lie print, have recommended to the peo
pie Of Virginia that same organ of mis-.
cegenation and Mahoneism The Ma.
tiona Republican is no worse now than
ID has been. llatton and Gorham have
not grown worse in morals, private or
political that would be impossible
! ct, Hatton and Gorham, and Malone
md liiddlohergcr are worthy of nothing
o much as to be marked as the Corrupt
lnartette and they will no doubt be
eady always to sing the praises of Fred.

The Difference.

The New York sun gives the follow
ing idea Of the difference between the
so-callcd "iree trade and protection
wing, Of the Democratic party:
Practically, the dispute grows out Of
the fact that the revenues Of the United
States are too big. There is this year a
surplus Of more than one hundred and
'hir.y million dollars after paying the
regular expenses Of the Government
Mr. Randall and hi. friends advise tha,
this surplus shall be abolished in the
future BY aboli,hing the internal rev.
enuo taxJs; while Carlisle and his
friends propose to get rid Of II by rodu'
cing the taxes on imported goods, Ieay-
ing the internal revenue mainly rs 1t u.s.
But, along with this difference IN
practical measures, there is difference
in theory. Mr.. Carlisle aud bis friends
hold that in the abstract the only true
system would be free trade between the
United States ard foreign countries, al.
hitting without duty the products Of
those countries and raising the necessary
revenue by means Of direct taxation.
But this is impraciicablc in the present
situation Of the United States, prlnci-
paIly because contrary system has
long been established aud practiccd
here; and 50 they hold that, in raising
revenue by import duties, regard should
be had exclusively 10 the capacity OF
each important article to pay greater
ar less amount of duy, and no regard
should be paid to the question whether
the same article can or cannot be pro
ducod in the United States. In Other
words. there should be 10 attempt by
means Of Il higher duty to protect tho
American producer Of such articles
against the competition Of the foreign
producer This is the doctrine which
has been advocated by Mr.. Carlisle anC
the Courior,JOurnal, and which is be-
licycd to have got the upper hand il

Of the House Of Representatives. l}u
