RAILROADS IN 1884.

The introduction to Poor's Manual of
Railroads for 1855 gives a review of the
railroad situation for 1884 From this we
learn that at the close of the year we had
125,379 miles of railway, of which 1917
miles were constructed within the year.
The rate Of increase thus indicated is 81
per cent. Returns were made of share
capital and funded and floating debts, by
125, l52 miles, as against 120,552 in the
year 1888, or 3.S per cent. increase. The
share capital Of the mileage in operation
in 1854 equaled 1892, ,6SG, as against
$3,70S, O6O,5 S3 in 1888, an increase of about
IA per cent. The funded debts of all
lines aggregated 1868, ll5,772, or $685.
235, S5S in excess of the total of 1888, be-
ing about rs per cent. The cost per mile
of all the roads making returns as measured
by the amount of their stocks and indebt-
edness equaled nearly Sol, 400, against
SCI, 800 for 1888. The gross earnings of
all lines making returns were $40, 6S4, 90S,
of which S206, 79O,7O1 were received from
passenger, and $500, 8699l0 from freight
transportation. In 1888, we find by refer
erence to former reports, the gross receipts
or earnings were S215, 257 ,624 from passen-
gers, $40, 756,695 from freight and $685.
72S, 405 from miscellaneous sources, a total
Of 1923, 7172, 1924. This shows decrease for
1884 of S53,088,016, or very nearly the
same amount of decline in earn
ing capacity as represented increase
of earnings in 1888, as against 1882.
In 1884 the earnings per mile were S6,6G3,
against s., 461 for 1888, a decrease of $79S
per mile. The net earnings equaled $685.
LOG, 25S in 1884, a falling off of So, 261 ,027
in the year, or about per cent. from 1888,
The falling off in tonnage carried equaled
l0,37S,69 tons, or about p per cent. de
crease. The rates per ton per mile in 1884
OF freight transported equaled 1924 cents,
against 1886 for 1S83-a falling off of
1.l2 mills per ton per mile. Had the
rates of 1888 obtained in 1884, the earn
ings from freight would have been $50
50, l4l in excess of what they really were.
80, too, had the passenger rates of 1888
been maintained in 1884 the gross earn
ings of all the roads would have exceeded
the actual figure by S56,S40.463 Mr..

road earnings is something phenomenal

the country at about its lowest depth, so
far as railroads are concerned, and he adds
that the remedy for evils done Is now to

THE DAY.

The prostration, the death, the entomb-
meat of General Grant are events that
stand forth among the most prominent
and powerful in their influence of any
shat have been written in the annals of
the nations history They are three great
lessons that have made an impression never
to be efaced. His sickness suddenly
awakened the whole country TO a full and
exquisite realization of the unity of the
people of the United States and next his
death taught them in the presence of the
close of marvellous career and great
national character, builded upon valor
love of country and simple, honest-minded
determination to do duty, the littleness of
those things that separate us into factions,
and the greatness and strength of the
bonds that hold us in common citizen
ship of common dependence. The death
OF General Grant was a second great chap
ter Of lessons, and has been of
infinite service to the country, as was his
ilic- ne i1dll NIiO>C lllldI tljS uOWIl
contributes so greatly to the enllindling of
patriotic fires and lofty national purposes,
must indeed have lived to great purpose.
His death has taught us how small has
grown the breach, and how faint the pitt
full line that divides us into sections,
North and South, and how impossible it is
that, looking from Appomatox farmhouse,
to-day robed in black by Southern hands,
the country can ever turn its gaze back
ward with desire for the past. The few
soured and unreconciled men of the re-
bellious era, who still hold out to sheer at
Grant, are admirable contrasts to give
boldness and vigor and beauty 10 the spec
tacle Of a united North and South mourn
ing in the chamber of death. From the
moment Of his last breath up to the dawn
of this morning the spirit of national fra
fernity has augmented and swelled in
volume and intensity of tone, until to-day
the entire Union, with one mighty
voice, unites in the dirge to solemn
measures of which the funeral train takes
its mournful way to the tomb where the
mortal remains of General Grant are to
repoSe. So this event, entombment, is the
third OF the series of great national
lessons, each more emphatic than its pre-
decessor, and it is to be followed by still
greater one. 1t cannot be that all this
seed-sowing shall bring forth no stalk, no
leaf no bud, no final fruit 1t must be
that from the mouldering form to-day laid
away to final rest, there shall spring new
flowers of promise for a reunited country.
Over the grave of Grant we cannot con-
tend. Where the hand of the Confederate
lays him away, the Union veteran bows,
and all the people read with fearful eyes
and voices the record of the life thus
ended, and which is to them a monitor, of
peace, fraternity and love

CINCINNATI is engaged in building a
stately crematory upon Clifton flights, one
of her beautiful suburbs. The ground plat
is two acres and a half the building will
be made of Indiana limestone and pressed
brick, and will be sixty-eight feet long and
tifty-iive feet in width, with a dome
seyenty-tive feet above the roof and richly
carved. The interior is to be decorated in
the best style Of art. In the matter of
building the crematory Cincinnati is pro-
gressive. As to its finish and beauty we
care little A plain structure will answer
lust as well as one of great architectural
beauty. Like the grave, it matters little
what is built to adorn it, the body must
decay, and so in the incinerator it must
turn to ashes But Cincinnati is a pro-
gressive city. Many of her leading people
are interested in cremation, and very diff
ferently does her Board of Health act from
that of San Francisco, where cremationists
are forbidden to dispose of their dead by
Clearly and decent method. How
long will it be before the metropolis of the
Pacific will confess her error, and with
draw the objection interposed by her Board
Of Health?

THE Memphis Aralanche pays this tribute
to the wife of General Grant 1t comes at
a time peculiarly appropriate, and from a
source that makes the offering especially
touching: Mrs. Grant has been as quiet
and unassuming as her husband. At least
none has heard of her from herself. And
vet where great power has been exhibited
and great success attained, the quiet, faith
full, toiling silent partner must have been
an ever living fountain of inspiration. As
unto the bow the string is, so unto man is
woman The world knows the tough fiber
of the yew that winged the arrow. The
world hears OF and talks of the deeds of
the man, his worth, his intellect, his power
and his fame as it blazes aloft, and she sits
and basks in its etfulgence satisfied. They
two are one. His fame is hers. Wherever
there is lofty character, high success and
noble deeds there is a quiet, earnest, faith
full woman's silent, calm, unyarying inilu-
ence asserting itself unobtrusively, exerted
unconsciously to her, and in general per
haps with as little direct recognition by
the other partner"
