Never Watercd It's Stock.

Mention was made in the Journal recently of
the handsome surplus in the treasury of the New

questionably it is the best managed road in its

improved without an eyer-increasing debt and
without the introduction of the watering" sys-

What win Be Satisfactory?

For years Pittsburg has kept up the cry that
that city was Disseminated against in rates. and
it has been the study IF the arrangements of the
roads centering there to-~1re1isyc all
grounds for such complaints; and in all
directions there has been made a gen.
eral reduction, the. Middle and Western
States Association and the Transcontinental
Association taking special pains to treat Pitts
burg fairly in the matter. Now one of the pa
pers raises the cry that there is a benefit
for small shippers in the new rates, but when it
comes to manufacturers or business men who
ship large amounts. there is no reduction for
them and the complaint then goes On to say that
this year special contracts have been abolished,
and large shippers must send freight at the reg
ular rates. which are higher in some cases than
the special tariff given to small shippers

Retrenchment Reaches Erie Scrub Women.
The way in which President King is using the
knife in cutting down the expenses of Erie is
caution. The reduction in his own salary had
been made before he was elected. for he took Mr..
Jewetts place at So, 900 year after the former
had been drawing $40. 900 for ten years in the
same Office. AS soon as he got fairly warm in
his seat heads began to fall with startling rapid
ity, and salaries dropped as if brown stone
front house had fallen on them. The reduction
in the number of official heads is from 10 to
20 per cent, and in the working force from 20 to
25 per cent Trainmen have been given longer
runs, and in some cases the hours of labor have
been heightened and half holidays abolished 1t
is thought he has about got through by this
time, for the scrub women in the halls Of the
main Office have had to go; and President King
tersely remarks that if the proprietors of the
building can't keep it clean, it may remain dirty.

ing the recent notice that on the 18th OF jan

Manager Lyon states that arrangements have
