Recent railroad statistics that have
been gathered contain some interesting
information touching the growth of our
railroad system. 1t was in 1880 that
the first twenty miles of road were built,
and between that date and 1850 there
were 5000 miles in full operation, or on
an average of 450 miles per year. In the
next ten years, ending in 1860 there
were added q $3.50 miles or 2,169 miles
per year, and since 1860, a period of
twenty-four years, there was further
added 12l ,8l3 miles or trifle more than
5000 per year. The capital represented
in the construction and operation of
this great system is seven and one-half
billions of dollars, ($7, ,525, ,43S 481, and
the effect of this capital in the ap-
probation of other property is repre-
sented at about $4,000, ,0OO, 900. These
are pretty large figures, and they are
used with effect in a comparison with
the amounts appropriated by Congress
from the beginning of the Government
to the present time for the improve
ment of the rivers and harbors of the
country, which all told aggregates $780,
100000! In other words, the railroads
that have sprung into existence in the
last forty years have cost thirty times
the total amount expended for rivers
and harbors from the foundation Of the
Government.

An editor, says one who knows, is a
man whose praises of individuals are
soon forgotten; whose wholesome truths
are treasured up in guilty hearts for re-
venge; who is expected to give early
notice of every new business free, so that
it will be advertised before starting up;
who is expected to keep posted on every
event whether he hears, sees it or not;
who is expected to see that his own
town gets more trade than its neighbor,
regardless of the action of individuals
in bringing in trade; who is expected to
use partiality among his advertising
customers, who is expected to furnish a
a dozen columns of short local; who is
expected to puff the whole community
in which he lives; but after saying all
that he can for his own town, there are
those who will come in and ask him if
he can't duplicate Chicago prices on
work. To make the story short the
editor is bully fellow as long as he does
not care to make q dollar like other
people, but when it comes to asking a
living profit on any piece of work, he
becomes a sinner of the deepest dye,
with few two cent people, who, to save
5O cents, will send thousand miles or
less for four dollar job, and then at the
same time expect an editor to lie about
their virtues both while they are living
and after they are dead. And above
all, he is expected to print every COM
munication that is brought to him, and
everything that man asks him to. In
fact he is expected to let every one run
his paper, and if he does not, they will
stop their papers, and think it is going
to knock the newspaper;higher'n kite
If they do not pay their paltry subscrip-
ton. And most of these men claim to
to be nice gentlemen, and are supposed

The Columbus Times, Democratic

I'VE have it from the very highest

the Presidency, but that he will no;
permit his name to go before the con-
vention. As member of the Senate

japanese Social Life.

In a recent lecture Prof z. S. Morse
dealt specially. with the social charac-
teristics of the Japanese. A most con-
spicious feature of their intercourse
with each other is, he said, their polite
ness. No harsh words are ever heard,
no eagerness for selfish advantage, no
Indifference or forgetfulness of the feel
ings of others. They do not salute by
shaking hands, but by bowing, unusual
consideration or cordiality being ex-
pressed by profounder bows or more
numerous repetitions thereof. The
rich people dress their children in the
most inferior garments in sending them
to school in order that the feelings OF
the poor children, who can get no
other, may not be- hurt by any contrast.
There is no profanity in their language.
A trifing mishap or offense is not un-
frequently met among our people with
volley of oaths; but japanese,
when wrought up in his feelings to the
highest pitch, never utters any stronger
expression than what in our language
would be the exclamation, chow veKa-
tious!" They keep their angry pas
sions under control, yet they do not
lack ferceness, but make excellent SOL
diers Their kindness to animals is ex-
traordinary The songs of wild birds
are constantly heard in the gardens OF
great cities. Birds of passage aligh,

duct. kindness. sympathy and urbanity

The Fool.

There lived fool in the world.
For long time he remained content
and happy; but slowly rumors reach
ed him that everywhere he was held
to be a brainless idiot.
Grieved was the fool, and began to

A sudden idea lightened his poor,

the FOOLS acquaintance to say of him
"but what head" "And what
