American Railroads,

There are no better illustrations OF the
speedily achieved greatness Of our country
than those which are furnished by the rail-
road statistics, For example, we have 3lO,-
eco miles Of track--enough to girdle the
earth dozen times, with several thousand
miles left for side tracks. More than half
Of these lines were laid down at o cos, Of
$4,000 600, ,0OO-enough to pay the public
debt four times over. There are $4,000 en-
gines, $4,000 passenger coaches, and l,0OO,-
600 freight cars, aud over 1000 patents
have been taken out for inventions In rail-
way machinery and appliances Every year
three hundred millions tons Of freight arc
carried. For moving this freight the com
panies receive an average Of 1,29 cents per
ton per mile and for each passenger carried
they get 2.5l cents per mile. II requires a
half million employees to run all these roads.
"And yet" exclaims the Baltimore Ameri-
can, ut was only fiity.six years ago the 2Sth
of this month that Peter Cooper ran the
first steam car from Baltimore to Ellicotrs
Mills at the unparalleled speed Of mile in
every four and a third minutes ~ The editor
Of the Rdiiirdy World said, in recent con.
versation, that the country was now having
good healthy growth of railway building,
from 1900 to 5000 miles Of new road
per year. He placed the railroad mile
age Of the country at about 125,OOO,
which was more than It ought to have.
IL used to be said that II required 1000
people to support mile Of railroad, but
we had now more than n mile for every
500. In 1880 we had twenty.three miles in
operation in 1910, nearly 5000; in 1850,
about 5000; when the war broke out, about
10000; in 1871, over 1000 miles were laid,
and We had G0,0O0 miles. From 1870 to
1873 from 1000 to 1000 miles were built
every year; In 1875 we fell to less than
1000; In 1870 we got up to 1000, and in
1852 we reached IL 800 miles OF new road in
q single year. In 1888 the amount was be.
tween 6,000 and 1000, and now we have
got back TO between 1900 and 5000. The
statement was made that the question
whether 500 people could support a mile
Of railroad was not yet solved, and therefore
II was not certain that even the present
rate of increase was not too great. The
average cost of the construction and equip
ment Of a mile of railroad was given as
over $4,000.

The Case of Recorder Matthews.
,r.r, tbe Bost9nh Rpstx r sStxact1v n

fiRs nevef beeR}o ehse exactly like
that of the reappointment OF Recorder
Matthews by the President yesterday. Some
of the disappointed seekers Of the Office
held that Matthews could not draw any
pay. The question was asked at the comp
troller's Office to-day, and, while no official
opinion was rendered, some points Of In
terest were submitted. In 1889 President
jackson nominated Samuel Gwinn, OF
Georgia, as register OF the land Office In
that state. The Senate rejected him, but
the President promptly sent In his name a
second time. The Senate did not act upon
this second nomination before adjourn
ment, and the President inquired OF At
torney General Roger b. Taney whether he
had a right to nominate Gwinn again
after adjournment. Mr.. Taney went
into the matter fully, and held
to I'LL vacancies occurring during
recess Of Congress, and that he could
fill them with any one he pleased to nomi-
nate, not being prohibited In any way by
the fact that person had once been re-
jected by the Senate. Gwinn was accord
iDgly nominated. That opinion Of Chief
Justice Taney has been repeatedly quoted
by subsequent Attorney Generals as late as
1880, when President Hayes inquired Of
Attorney General Devens In regard to the
legality OF the Presidents appointing Gen.
Hartranft as collector OF the port OF Phlla-
delphia. Gen. Hartranft's name had been
sent In to the Senate, but It adjourned
without acting upon 1t. Gen. Devens on
this occasion reiterated Taney's opinion.
Mr.. Matthews is legally In possession Of
this Office, and win hold It durip' the
recess, at any rate.

POEMS OF HENRY ABBEY.


New. enlarged edition. long primer type.
paid on receipt Of price, si.25. Address
Henry Abbey, Kingston, N. Y.
The fact Of the name of the writer
Of these poems appearing also as
publisher is likely to make the reader a
little suspicious Of their quality, especially
as the volume is very nicely printed. But,
although perhaps rendered hypercritlcal on
this account, we have found the contents
TO be decked out In by no means unbe-
coming dress. The poems are mostly mar
Tative, but Mr.. Abbey's lips have been
touched with the sacred flre.-7ho Week,
Toronto, Canada.
We have carefully read this book with
great interest, pleasure, and satisfaction.
IT abounds in fancy, in true, deep, beauti-
full thought, and is eminently American.
The melody Of its expressions is generally
exquisite, often grand. -, To us
Henry Abbey is the most delightful, orlgl-
nal, and vigorous Of American poets
The National Republican. Washington, d.
c.
On almost every page there are lines
which are singularly happy In expression,
and the leading thought Of many OF the
pieces is strikingly original; above all, there
is an appreciation Of the beautiful In nature
and sympathy with the pathetic in human
life which ought to give the writer q high
place. Mr.. Abbey is sometimes very
careless about his metre, although the
swing and music of many Of his poems
show that he has quite exceptional power
Of melodlous composition. :, His best is
sometimes very good.-7he Spectator, Lon
don, England.
Mr.. Abbey's poems leave a distinctly fa-
vorable impression; the manner and form
fade away, and there remain but memories
| Of noble thoughts, pictures OF human en-
| deavor, and impressions OF spiritual beauty
that shall not die. Above all, there is ID
these poems no pandering to sensuality, nc
| CLOSING of vice by musical words, no idle
dreaming and mourning over dead past
Life, light, strength, and beauty spring be-
| fore us as we turn the pages, and we recog
| nize a genius modest, self-reliant, original
| and worthy OF the much, abused name oi

SANUELJ }, RANDALL ought to spend his vaca-
tion in hobnobbing with the Republicans of
his district in order to secure a reelection.
What blessing 1t would be to both parties If
the Republicans would get It into their heads
that we had been punished enough by ssndng
Randall to Congress, and let him stay at home
and Obstruct anything he liked on his native
soil Manchester linton.
Our New Hampshire contemporary can
scarcely be Ignorant OF the fact that Mr.
Randall lives In strongly Democratic dis
tTict and has no occasion for any other than
Democratic votes. All the talk about his
being sent to Congress by Republicans is
the silliest kind Of ilapdoodle. Mr.. Ran
dali goes TO Congress as Democrat, and
he and his friends vote for free trade or
ganization Of the House. 1t would have
been far better for the Republicans In 'sl,
and again this year, II they had voted with
the free traders and passed a tariff bill
through the House. The issue would
then have been made Enthusiastically
clear. II thehorizontal bill OF 'Si had gone
through the House 1t would have been the
great and almost only issue of the presl-
dental campaign Of that year, and Mr..
Cleveland would have been beaten out of
sight. The Democratic policy is the policy
OF towards. The party was scared almost
TO death by tariff laundering in the 1880
campaign. Some Of tho free trade editors
betook themselves to writing protection
editorials. The organs and speakers denied
their creed. In ~ they put upa straddle.
They are doing the same thing this year,
and will repeat 1t in 'sS, The Republican

A WAR of annexation in the southwest is not
to be thought of. Mexico probably would be
only too glad to shove her worthless northern
section, full of bad Indians and worse Greasers,

Such an acquisition would be a national
misfortune. A republic has no business
with conquered provinces or with commu-
mites unfit for local self.government. We
ought at all times to do all that honor will
permit to avert a conflict with Mexico. At
present 1t is not clearly apparent that we
have any grievance at all against that
