RAILWAY MANAGEMENT.

Investors in the securities OF railroad COM
panies in the United States are deeply en-
gagged in trying TO discover why these prop
critics are failing to pay their fixed charges.
Railroad managers are at the same time dis
cussing the problem with view to deter.
mine the best practicable methods OF regu-
lating all evils connected with the present
system OF operating their roads. We look
forward with the hope that these questions
may be fully canvassed while so many of
those more directly interested are investigat.
ing the subject.
the pooling system il obvious enough, and
that there were many more under the old
methods is equally true. But We
are not among those who think our
railroad managers are lacking in abil-
ity, as so many Europeans believe.
Indeed, many of them have managed only
too well, and herein lies much of the trouble.
The building Of railroads where not needed,
and parailelipg other lines merely as a mat
ter Of speculation has been carried on to an
extent that is alarming.
The watering of stocks and trying to make
q road pay interest aud dividends on securi.
ties representing three or four times the first
cost of the road and its equipments, is the
common practice of railroad builders and
managers, and the time has come when
American railways must be built as we'll as
operated on bed-ro OK basis.

THE SILVER QUESTION.

On the 10Th Of April the Latin Monetary
Union is to meet in Paris to discuss the
great silver problem. Ex-Governor Hicks,
of the Bank Of England, in recent letter to
Congressman Buckner, stated his belief that
the United States. France and Germany can
together re-establish bi-mettalism and SO put
stop to the shrinksge of prices, which Is
causing such distress TO commerce, though
be gives no intimation that England
can be induced to cooperate in the
establishment of this very desirable re-
suit. The Latin Monetary Union should be
extended in scope and membership, or at
least some organization should be formed
which should include all interested coun-
tries that uniformity in the relation Of sill
yer to gold coins of the same denominations
will be secured throughout the civilized
world. 1t Is certain that the world needs
silver money as well rs gold. 1t is also Ger.
tain that commerce between the nations
would be stimulated il the value Of silver
should be made uniform in all the nations.
But, in the meantime. our own country
will b the more prosperous with q larger
circulation Of silver. Whatever its Relations

NJ. F. Davis seemed to take the greatest
interest in the various shells of the Compel
ing oarsmen at the late regatta in Boston,
who were not slow to proclaim their rig as
the best that science and money had yet pro-
duced. Davis thought so, too, and further
more that the contrivances used, such as
sliding seats, outriggers and rowlocks were
none other than of his own designs and COW
cred by patents, but manufactured and sold
by men who had no regard for him or his
rights. The genial Davis in business-like
way acquainted the oarsmen of the fact that
they were using apparatus designed after his
patents, and that thereby they were infring-
ing on his rights. Nearly all of the oarsmen
acknowledged the s'corn," after being told
that recourse to law would be had unless
they respected his claims, and they agreed to
do justice to him and make proper amends
