The annual report for 1884, of the
Central Pacific railroad, exhibits that
the gross earnings for that year were
$23,261 900, a falling off of two and a
half million dollars from the year pre-
ceeding, while the expenditures for
1884 were $1,OOO,OO greater than in
1888. The deficit, including unearned
dividends paid, was $1,Se0,0oo. 1t is
claimed that the government owes the
company $6SO,OO0, which is held by
the United States treasurer without
sanction of law.
THE Philadelphia ship builder,
Cramp, says that in his opinion there is
not man in the United States, in the
navy, or out of it, who can design a
ship of war, and further that in the
whole world there are but four men
who are competent, and England has
two of these. Mr.. Cramp also says
that at Barton, Wilmington, Chester
and Philadelphia there are ship yards
having the equipment for building
such ships, but added to the yards and
tools must be brains.

THERE are in Washington city one
hundred and fifty-four drug stores, and
nine-tenths of these dispense soda
water at this season of the year. A
leading druggist estimates that not less
than S2,OOO,O 900 is invested in soda ap-
paratus. The same authority says that
seven or eight of the stores draw 1000
glasses day during the hot weather.
and the others from 800 to 800 each.
He estimates that the daily consump-
ton amounts to not less than $4,000
glasses. There is not another city in
the country that has such soda water
record as this, and the sale of beer
quite equals that of soda Every
brewer Of prominence in the country
has bottling establishment or an
agent who puts up his beer for the fam
lily and public resort trade there. The
Washingtonians are good drinkers, and
the family trade in domestic and for
eign beer is enormous.

THE coming election in England
promises to be the most closely con-
tested of any since the famous cam
paign of 1886. The Conservatives have
secured an enormous election fund,
and will contest every constituency in
Great Britain, except about forty,
where the Liberals are too strong to be
beaten. Encouraging reports come
from the Conservative, or Tory, side,
but it is too early to predict actual le-
suits. The contest will be watched in
this country with keen interest to the
end. Mr.. Gladstone is said to be Sc
seriously affected that he will be unable
to participate in the campaign, beyond
perhaps single address to his imme'
diate constituents.

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part OF the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some election
of the kidneys or neighboring organs.
At times, symptoms of indigestion are
present, tlatulenoy, uneaslness of the
stomach. etc. A moisture, like perspir-
alton. producing very disagreeable
itchingafter getting warm, is common
attendant. Blind, Bleeding and Itching

"SrLL another phase of the great
Eastern question, says Bradstrcet's,
"has been developed in the
revolution in Eastern Roumelia,
which took place last week. by the
treaty Of Berlin, signed in July ISIS,
Eastern Roumelia was constituted an
autonomous province Of Turkey. 1t
was placed under the direct authority Of
the Sultan, and was to be ruled by Il
Christian governor nominated by him.
The Sultan was given the right of pro-
yiding for the military defense of the
province, and the Governor was author
lied to summon the Turkish troops in
the event Of the Internal or external Sc
curity Of the province being threatened,
The treaty of Berlin also constituted
Bulgaria an autonomous tributary prln-
oipality under the suZerainty OF the
Sultan, and provided that the Prince OF
Bulgaria should be freelp elected by the
population, subject to the confirmation
Of the Porte. In the revolution o: last
week the authority of both Governor
and Sultan was overthrow. a union
with Bulgaria was proclaimed.
Prince Alexander, Of the lat
ter state, has declared his AZ
sumption Of authority over what he
terms the provinces of North and South
Bulgaria. Bulgarian troops under Rus
sian officers are orowdlng into Roumelia.
The Sultan has as yet taken no military
action to enforce his rights under the
treaty. The movement which has just
taken place practically carries out the
principles OF the treaty of san Steiano,
which was extorted from Turkey by
Russia, and which the later treaty Of
Berlin was framed to set aside, The
earlier treaty provided for the establish
ment Of an autonomous bulgaria, which
was to comprise nearly the whole oil
Roumela. The settlement was based
on recognition OF the principle Of
nationality; the limits Of the State were
to be determined by the nationality Of
the population. It was more natural
settlement than the later one, as eyenti
are beginning to show"

UNDER the head of "simplc Truths"
the New York sun says: "Ihe nOmina-
tlons have nov been made on both sides,
and every man can choose. The mug
wumps seem inclined to follow their old
side. nor is their choice to be regretted
by Democrats. Every vote is welcome
in an election as close as the coming one
promises TO be, and yet 1t is better that
the Democratic party should be itself
even II defeat should come to 1t by its
than that it should be carried to victory
by aid purchased by concessions which
must be too dearly paid for in the end.
Indeed, the danger of defeat is lessoned
by the return Of the party to dependence
upon itself. The influence of its
unwelcome allies has been weakening
and disorganizing, Yet those voters
who, still friendly to the Administration
are none the less prepared to support
the Republican State ticket, should not
deceive themselves. A Republican vic
tory in this State will be defeat of the
Administration, Il blow at the Admins

NO excuse and no pretence can lessen
the effect Of such defeat. The only
way to support the Administration is to
