TIL Prospect.

The Astounding falsehOOds and unlim,
ited boasts OF the Democrats lead some
Republicans to ask for a candid state
ment OF the prospect. The only OBJ &C.
ton to such a statement is that il may
encourage Over-eOnhdence and neglect
of needed effort. 1t must be clearly
underst cd, as a basis and necessary
condition of every estimate, that the
supporters of MIR. Bla ne are to work as
faith ully and earnestly as if each
doubtful vote might turn the scale;
that their organization, already the
best ever seen in a Presidential cam
paign, is to be perfected at every point;
and that their vigilance in detecting
and exposing Democratic frauds and
fOrgeries is to know no relapse
No Democrat really hopes for success
in any New England Stale. Butler will
probably get more votes in Massa-
chusetts than Cleveland, and a great
many in Connecticut and New Hamp-
shire, but there is no sense in doubling
that Mr.. Blaine viii have n clear ma
jOrity IN every New England State.
The chatter of free traders about sup
posed uncertainties at the West need
not disturb anybody. With ANYTHING
like full vote, the Republicans have a
-ANeAA -AAe- va -Ay OfCA ~ AOA lis VI GJpDSt~
ton, as past returns indisputably prove.
in every Western State except Ohio and
Indiana. The last full vote in Indiana
was in 1880; the Democrats have not
since pOlled as many votes as the %. -
OUO cast for Hancock, and President
Garfield then had $500 majority. The
last full vote in Iowa was for Governor;
Republican 164. 900, Democratic l3g.-
900, Greenback %, 900. The last full
vote in Michigan was IN 1880; the
greatest vote since polled tor a fusion
candidate falls u, OOU short of the votes
then cast for Hancock and Weaver, and
those together were $4,000 short of the
vote cast for Garfield. Finally, in Ohio
the Democrats succeeded by bare ma
iOrity Of l, 800 last year, with the LIQUOR
interest. the WOOl-growers, and much
Republic "a indecisiOn of purpose to
help them. Everybody who helped
them then has been cheated, and re-
sents 1t. In brief, as to all these States
the Republicans start with a clear lead.
and in all they are more united and en-
thusiastic than they have been in any
other campaign for many years, while
the open support Of Mr.. Blaine bY thou
sands OF Democrats in each of these
States gives them increased assurances
Of success. Add 10 this the fact that
General Butler is a candidate and that
Mr.. Cleveland is personally repugnant
TO MS own party, and the situation is
not IN adorable.
The contest turns, as was known
from the hEst, upon the votes Of New
York and New Jersey. There ara al
least Jour Southern States q which Mr..
'Bla ne viii have a majority of the hon
est votes. But these votes viii neve,
be counted for him if il is possible e.

Crons in Three States.

Mr.. J. D. Truett, general agent for the Deer
ing Harvester, has furnished the journal with
the following reports of the present condition of
the growing wheat crop, made from personal
observation and special correspondence: From
Indiana points-Greencastle, bad; Toorntown,
good; Jonesboro, good; Portland, fair; York
town, good; Terre Haute, fair Logansport,
good; Lafayette, good; Lapel, good; Union
City, fair Anderson, good; Wabash, good
Bridgeport, poor; Clinton, fair; Sullivan, poor
State Line City, poor; Evansville, fair; Patoka,
fair; Mount Vernon, good; Macy, good; New
Castle, good; Covington good; Xenia, good
Idaville, good Rising SUM- good; KokomO good;
Kmghtstown, good; Brookville, good; Browns
Vile, good; Shelbyville, good; Franklin, good
Centerville good; Winamac, good, and Linn
Grove, fair.
From points in Illinois--Centralia, poor; Equal
ity, good; Neoga, fair; Duquoin fair; Paris,
poor; Homer, fair; Olney, fair; Jonesboro, good;
MartinsviBe, fair; Tamarva, bad; Bone Gap, fair;
Fairfield, poor; Flora fair; Mt. Vernon, poor;
Kimmundy, fair; bingham, fair; Mattoon,
poor; AItamont, fair; and Hutsonville, good
From points in Ohio-Portsmouth, good; Ham
ilton, good; Xenia, good College Corner, good;
Washington Courthouse, fair; and Wilmington,
fair.
Thus we see that for the GO points named, 90
are reported good, 81 fair, poor and bad. So
that if the season is favorable and nothing seri
Gus should happen to the crop between Low and
harvest time, can reasonably expect more
than an average crop.

Miscellaneous Notes.

The Ohio Falls River road directors have
made call for twenty per cent. in cash Of the
stock subscribed by stockholders.
A lively freight war to Canadian points is de-
veloping between the Grand Trunk and the
Canadian Pacific. The rates. which were con-
siderably below the tariff before, have been fur
Their cut.
1t cost $66 226 per mile to build the Pacific
railroads The new Mexican Central has been
built at a cost of 1924, 400 per mile. The latter
was fully as difficult to construct and as expens-
i've, but Boston capital built the latter without
government aid.
The Graphic figures out that the Erie road
from Oct. to Feb l, four months of the fiscal
year. failed to earn fixed charges The end of
the year may, nevertheless, show a balance on
the profit side. Ii is not fair to judge property
by single months or quarters earnings.
1t is said that the Atehison Topeka & Santa
Fe people will have no more trouble over rates.
as the Kansas Legislature has adjourned with
out passing law of any description affecting
railroad management and without, it is believed
considering in any form railroad measure.
The Lackawanna has filed an application for
the privilege of connecting with or crossing the
cantalever bridge at Niagara Falls. This is a
more important move than it would seem at first
sight. Having its terminus at Buffalo, the road
cannot very well have use for the bridge unless
it is to build line to the Falls to connect
with it.
President Nickerson, of the California South
ern Railroad Company, has engaged Mr. j. F.
Anderson of the Maine Railroad Commission, as
special engineer to visit southern California and
estimate the damage caused by the recent floods.
The local engineers estimate the loss by the
great floods of six weeks ago at from $3.50 900 to
$3.50 900. Since that time there have been fur
ther rains No trains are now running on the
road.

Rather Disseminating.

Experts who have just reported 70 the stock
and bondholders of the Toledo Cincinnati q
Indianapolis narrow gauge road say that they
found the entire system in a wretched condition
The estimated cost of bringing the road from
Toledo to st. Louis up to proper standard of
narrow gauge is: By Mr. Latcha, s., 4O7, 1924; by
Mr.. Caten, $1,61S, sol, and for the same as
standard gauge by Mr. Lateha So, $50, 100; by
Mr.. Cation. $2,SS6,571; to which add termini
and equipment, say so engines, 3,015 cars 80
passenger engines and cabooses, etc, standard
gauge, 81, 1853, 900, The T., c. & St L. road,
since Jan. l, has earned $242 235, which is an
increase of $44, 872 over the earnings during the
corresponding period last year.

The Probable OUTCOME.

No one will for moment question that these
rate wars are disastrous to the financial interests
of the weaker roads, and will expose more fully
their weak points, and it is believed that the last
concession of Commissioner Fink, made at the
request Of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
threatens to asphyxiate the tecutting com
panies Already the dial of the Stock Exchange
points to a decline in the quotations of some of
the competing companies Certain companies
that have been paying more dividends than they
have earned will be brought to book and the
traffic business will be placed on healthier foot
ing than it has had for some time back.
