While there was a great falling off in
the number Of miles of railroad built last
year, and while comparatively few roads
paid dividends, there was, nevertheless,
fewer roads sold under insolyent proceed
ings than during any year since 1876. All
of the roads that were sold under forced
sale last year were of little Importance,
comparatively, only one of them contain
ing as much as Il miles.
The number of roads sold was IS;
their total mileage was 10 miles;
their bonded debt was 1851, 900,
and their capital stock was $l3,9l3,0 O0.
OF course, in these figures, the floating
debt and interest are not included. 1t
seems that nearly all of these IS roads
were in an insOlI ent condition before the
year 1884 opened, and that that year only
witnessed the elimination of their
troubles.
The Rdil1rdy Age says that while last
year compares fayorably with previous
years in the matter of financial disasters
among railroads the aggregate OF the dis
asters for the last nine years, is
sufficiently startling. In that time 800
roads with an aggregate mileage OF 26,OUO
miles, representing an apparent capital
stock and bonded investment of nearly
$500, 100000, were seized and sold to
satisfy creditors. This mileage and this
capital in bonds and stocks are respective
" equal TO one-ffth of the railway mileage
and One-ffth Of the railway investment
of the United States at the present
time. So large are these figures that it
is almost impossible to understand fully
the story of disaster which they tell.
Although during the past year only a
few roads were sold under foreclosure
proceedings the number that was placed
in the hands Of receivers was sufficiently
large to cause uneasiness in railroad cir
cles. The number was thirty-seven, hav-
ing amiIeage of II, 900 miles, and having a
bonded debt of $407, 000, 600 and apparent
capital stock amounting to 1907, 900, 900.
1t is probable from these figures that the
number of roads that will be sold this
year Will be much larger than the num-
Der sold last year.

MIR. Reagan,s Bill.

4 couple of years ago Representative
Reagan said that his highest ambition
was TO have the credit of securing the
enactment of an interstate commerce
law. 1t is probable that that is still his
highest ambition. He has worked faith
fully for his Interstate commerce bill
many years, aud Thursday he had the
satisfaction Of seeing it pass the House
by very decisive majority. No one who
has not had a similar experience has any
idea Of the time and labor that Mr.. Rea-
gan has expended on this bill, or OF the
trouble and worry he has had on account
of it.. In one Congress he would meet
with much encouragement, not only from
the committee which had charge Of it, but
also from members generally. In the
very next Congress, perhaps, he would
find a committee that would give him
even a hearing with the greatest reluc-
lance. If any legislator ever deserved
success for any measure because of
earnestness and faithfulness in its behalf,
Mr.. Reagan certainly deserves success
for his.
The success of his bill, however, is by
no means assured. 1t may meet with
great hostility in the Senate. The rail-
roads don't want the bill passed and
there are many friends of the railroads in
the Senate.
The impression is that the CullOm bill
will pass the Senate, and that then there
will be conference committee which
will agree upon a measure that will be
satisfactory TO both branches of Congress.
If this impression should prove TO be cor
rect there are good reasons for thinking
that the measure that will finally become
a law will be very different from the bill
that has just passed the House.
Is would not be at all surprising, how
ever, if no interstate commerce law were
passed by this Congress. The date of ad-
iournment is not far of, and the time of
the Senate will be pretty well occupied
with the treaties and the appropriation
bills during the remainder of the session.
Mr.. Reagan, however, will be in the next
Congress and, doubtless, he will begin his
work over again and display the same in
dustry and indefatigability in behalf OF
his bill that he has always displayed. He
h Is devoted good part OF his life to 1t,
and he will not abandon it as long as he
remains In Congress.

The managers of the New Orleans BX-

to raise sufficient money to meet the i'm
mediate demands upon them. If they are
successful the exposition will suffer no in
corruption. If they are not successful it
may be that an appeal for additional help
will be made to Congress. Rather than
permit the exposition to fall below what
it has all along promised to be, especially
since every State and many foreign cOun-
tries have taken so prominent part it,
Congress may respond favOrablY. There
never was any expectation on the part of
those who gave the matter careful consid-
Grafton that the exposition would more
than pay legitimate expenses. 1t is too
far removed from the thickly populated
sections OF the country. Whether it pays
expenses or not 1t is a success as an eX-

At the sale of pews in Plymouth
Church Tuesday night the bidding was
quite spirited at first, but soon dropped
of. It was the thirty-eighth annual sale,
and the total of premiums and rentals
realized was $27,2J6. Last year the
amount was 1884, $50, and in 1888 it was
$3S, I72. In 1870, the most prosperous
year in the history of the church, the
sales amounted to SOS, 997, and they have
grown smaller every year since that
time. The sales Tuesday were much
larger than Mr.. Beecher's enemies were
willing to admit they would be before the
sale opened, and probably the decrease
represents little else besides the influence
Of the business depression, and the gene
raj decline of interest in Mr.. Beecher's
preaching. When the previous sales are
considered there is little room for belief
that there is any political significance in
the result Of this one.
