Points Well Taken.

Under the head Regulate Rum" the Railway
Register says 1.-THE legislative Solons of Wash
ington and the various States had better let the
railways alone and turn their attention to the
liquor traffic. The gross receipts Of the rail
ways of the United States during 1882 was
$40, 1856, ZIG. During the same year the gross
earnings of the 1876, $50 licensed saloons was
1919, 345, 900. The whisky seller, therefore, took
in 5000 COO, 900 more than did the railways. The
railways have made our country rich and pop
ulous; they have brought the praires of Kansas,
Nebraska, Dakota and the great valleys near
to markets; they have blotted out provincialism
and annihiated distance they furnish en-
ployment to hundreds of thousands of indus
trious, useful citlzons; their earnings support
thousands of small and large investors; all the
companies pay huge sums toward the mainte-
nance of the government and in all respects they
exert civlizing influence. Whisky steals mems
fortunes and brains: entails innumerable Suf-
ferings upon innocent women and children; fills
poor houses insane asylums, hospitals, iails and
prisons; robs working mems families of means of
support; imposes immense burdens upon the
community in the maintenance of courts, police
and reformatory institutions. and its vendors
pay no taxes when they can avoid it.

A Model 1873 Miles of Road.

Last week Harry Drew, and others who know
good railroad when they ride over it, accompa-
MED Superintendent Hill and the general officers
of the Vandalia line upon tour of inspection,
over the South Bend division. Mr. Drew says
that they were very much surprised and aston
ished to find this road in such excellent condi-
ton The old part of this division from Terre
Haute to. Logansport, has all been relaid with
steel, many Of the grades cut down, and curves
taken out The trestles are all SUBSTANTIALLY re-
built, and substantial bridge over the Wabash
at Logansport is completed. At this point the
company has purchased fourteen acres of land,
on which it has erected of stone and brick,
a model roundhouse, with stalls for thirteen en-
gines, and has well-arranged yard with ample
track-room. The new road, from Logansport to
South Bend is one of the best built in the coun-
try, well-balasted, and smooth; the cuts are
wide, and the fills are heavy and grades easy.
The depots are marves of architectural beauty.
The station-grounds are all laid out and planted
in blue grass; in fact everything seems to be
completely and well done, and the volume of
traffic exceeds the expectations of the warmest
friends of the enterprise.

Has the Day of Pools Passed?

A talk with friends and enemies as we'll Of
railroad pools gives evidence that there is a be-
lief that pools properly organized can produce
beneficial results both to the roads and the ship
pers. Thus far all pools have had to contend
with lack Of faith in their permanence, not
only with shippers, but among railroad men,
more especially line agents, as the truth is that
nine out Of every ten of the line agents have
worked more for the interest of the shippers
than the roads over which their line operates
Now therehas to be general change in the policy
of operating pools before even restora-
urated, as it is quite evident that
neither President Roberts, of the Pennsylvania
lines, or King of the Erie will ever come
into full membership with any trunk-line pool
which is not established on a frmer basis than
has been any pool of the past. Radical changes
are needed to perfect pool operations. All pools
must be money pools, not tonnage pools. Di-
yerting tonnage does not work satisfactorily to
either the roads or the shipper. Then there are
too many ways in which freight evades pools
For months roads as honorabIy managed as are
the c. l., St L. q c.. the Vandalia, t., II. e. L.
division, have been carrying freights without
any report of tonnage to any pool The pools
should be more comprehensive, and less compli-
Gated A complete inclosure of the territory be-
tween the north and south boundaries of the
pool must be made in order to make a perfect
organization. AS now constituted it is divided,
in the first place, into east and west.b bound
pools, and these are subdivided into various
pools. There is the Chicago and East bound
pool, the ST. Louis pool, the Peoria and In
dianapolis pools. This arrangement is too
complicated to be successfully carried out But,
even if it could be, it does not include a great
deal Of business that must be controlled by the
pool in order to make its operation a success.
There is certain territory between Chicago and
St Louis, fer example, which is gateway for
traffic between the East and West and which is
not amenable to either the Chicago, st. Louis or
Peoria pool. Low rates through that territory

ParalIeling Railroads.

There has already been too much Of paralleling

of the cases the existing road paralleed has been
more in fault than the company which built the

tary business field. 1t is well known had the

THE MOTOR MAN.
The Hocus Poous by which Keely Bleeds
His Backers.

From ne Nel1 York World.
a Philadelphia capitalist says that il
the true life OF Kelly, the motor man,
could be written, it would prove to be one
OF the most romantic stories OF imposture
ever known. He says that several years
ago, when Keely's great claims began TO
he talked about in Philadelphia, he made
an investigation tor his own satisfaction
into Keely's past. He thought that he
could Judge better by his record as a man
than by trying to talk with keely about
his mysterious motor. He found that
Just before coming TO Philadelphia he was
"a performer in a circus and that he had
nearly all OF his life made precarious
living by performing slight-of-hand
tricks. He Is man OF no educa-
ton, and is absolutely destitute OF any
scientific requirement. He says that
Keely has gone to work, however, very
skilIfully, and has learned the iargon Of
an extensive scientific vocabulary. He
has about eight hundred OF these words
and phrases at his tongues end, and he
can turn the head Of the average scientist
by the rapidity and certainty with which
he losses these words and phrases into his
general conversation. Keely has one gift,
he says, which is great enough TO be
called genius, and that is his skill in hum
bugging people. He has great power by
mere talk OF setting aside all doubt az to
his ability and TO influence people % let
him have money in the most reeklessly
confident way. Nearly all of his present
hackers are New York men. Every
now and then these hackers become
respondent and get together and 90 over
to Philadelphia. Then Mr.. Keely gets up
a sleight-of-hand performance for them,
talks to them in his peculiarly gifted way,
and the trusting capitalists go back
buoyed up with hope, fully confident that
yentors of the age. Kelly has never in
vented anything, this gentleman says,
except stories, and will never give any
other dividend upon the capital invested
in him beyond that Of romance and diver
sions in the shape of occasional sleight
Of-hand performances.
