wealth My impression to-day is. that all
the trains that are run over the Boston & AL
bany railroad are run without the sanction of
the Railway Commissioners. President Bliss an
swered Mr.. Merriam as follows: THE manage
ment were instructed to confer with the man
aeement of the New York Central road, to see
how far this business might be curtailed. We
did confer with them, and they replied that they
were obliged to run their trains nights and Sun
days as well week days. We have cur
tailed the running of Sunday trains as much as
we could do under tho existing condition of af

all, if the merchants are to be at all accomoda-
ted. we obliged to run Sunday trains. We
have now running eight or ten Sunday trains
against fifteen passing over the road formerly"

vanderbilt,s Big Stock Deal.

An impression prevails that Mr.. Vanderbilt's
great sale of New York Central at 120 was made
just prior to the great decline. and was bad
bargain for the purchasers. This was not the
case In November. 1879. Mr.. Vanderbilt con-
tracted to sell $50, 600 shares of New York Cen
trail to New York and London syndicate at
l20, giving them the option to take loo, 900 more
in three months at the same price, the quota
lions during the month ranged from 126
to 139. In January 1880, the syndi-
cate availed themselves of their op-
ton and took the other 100000 shares,
making total purchase of $35, 000. 900 of stock
for $42, 100000. During the ensuing year the
stock never fell to the figures at which they
bought, and in November, 1880, the stock ranged
from 135 to l47a, affording handsome profit to
the purchasers. In November, 1884, it was
quoted at from 136 to lao. having been quoted in
the meantime at 1885, 1t was not till May, 1888.

LIGHT ON a DARK sURJECT.

1t is hard to tell just what effect prohibi-
tory liquor laws have, for the advocates of
them furnish what they call proof of the
good effect of such laws, and the opponents
of them are equally well supplied with
s'facts" which show that prohibition does
not prohibit. The experiment of prohibition
has been tried in Iowa and Kansas for some
time and it is interesting to glance at some
of the facts obtainable concerning its work
ing. In neither State, it seems to us, can
the experiment be said to have resulted sat
isfactorily. Liquor is sold in both States
without much regard to secrecy, and in some
places with as much publicity as ever.
In Des Moines, Iowa, the number of ar
rests fer drunkenness during the last six
months of 1885, when license was in force,
and of 1884, after the prohibitory law had
taken effect, have been compared. The COM
parison shows slight decrease during the
prohibtory era, but the smallest number of
arrests in any one month was during the
license period. The arrests for drunkenness
in that town now average about forty
month. Under license they were about
forty-fve. Considering that the law says
there shall be no drunkards in Des Moines,
this showing cannot be said to be very encour-
aging.
In Kansas very interesting study in the
direction has been made by the warden
of the State prison. He shows that during
the prohibition era in Kansas the number of
convicts has increased 107, and that, too,
during time when the people have been
prosperous and nobody out of work Look
ing into the subject little further he finds
that the counties in which the law has never
been enforced, and which literally have free
whisky, furnished fewer criminals in proper
ton to population than the counties in which
the law has been rigidly enforced. From a
prohibition population in four counties of
115, ,865 came sixteen more convicts than
from anti-prohibition population in four
counties of 1T, ,53S. This astonishing reve-
iation is supplemented by a statement from
the chaplain of the penitentiary in which he
says that but % per cent. of the convicts at
tribute their downfall to intemperance, and
that he believes many of these are untruth-
full in so claiming.
All this, of course, bears only upon one
side of the discussion. Doubtless the ''tem-
perance advocates" in Iowa and Kansas have
good and sufficient explanations of these
discrepancies to offer. They can probably
show that prohibition is great success in
Iowa and Kansas, just as they have in regard
to Maine.
