Western Freight and Passenger Problem.

Western Freight and Passenger Problems
CHICAGO, July 12-The allabsorbing subject
of conversation in railway circles to-day was the
solution of the Western freight and passenger

are divided as to tie advantages

last week. and the suggestions for series of
gross money pools prepared by Mr.. Cable The

Affecting the Earnings.

Low rates are beginning to tell in the earnings
of the Northwestern lines. The statements of
6fty-sevep railroads for the first half of 1885,
published in last Saturdays Financial Chronicle
showed that while the earnings on 48,397 miles
had been at the rate of 81, 58s per mile, against
So 534 per mile on the AZ, 263 miles of the same
roads in the first half of 1885,, the following
granger roads. viz: the Northwestern. Omaha,
St. Paul and Chicago s. Alton had earned only
s., sol per mile. against SO. SAL per mile in the
same period of last year. To these may now be
added the Burlington g. Quincy. on which the
net earnings stated at So 9O5. O57 for the five
months to May 81 against 81, 387. 800 for the
same five months of 1885, decrease of IL per
cent. It may, therefore, be accepted as pretty
certain that, allowing for the better earnings in
June, the net earnings of all the granger roads
in the first half of 1886 were from to 8 per cent
less than In the same time in 1885 This. of
course, was in some degree due to labor strikes
but quite as much to the lower rates OF freights
and fares. This deficiency may even yet be
made up by an increased business this fall, un-
less the damage to the wheat crop turns out to
be more serious than is now quite apparent.

Old Stories Retold.

Henry Clay once accused John Randolph
of being an aristocrat In voice whose
shrill, piercing tones penetrated every ear
in the house, Randolph exclaimed: "If
man is known by the company he keeps,
the gentleman who has just sat down is
more of an aristocrat than | claim to be,
for he spends most of his nights in the COM
pany of kings and queens and knaves."
Abernethy, the celebrated surgeon, find
ing a large pile of stones opposite to his door
on his returning home one afternoon in his
carriage, swore hastily at the pavior and
desired him to remove them. "Where will
take them tor asked the Hibernian. "To
HE'LL" cried the choeric surgeon. Paddy
soberly replied: Hadn't better take them
to heavenl Shure they'd be more out of
your honors way"
There was time, when Lyman Trumbull
was chairman of the senate committee on
the judiciary, that Benjamin Butler was
chairman of the judiciary committee of the
house. 1t was at this period that delega-
tion from one of the southern states visited
Washington with desire to secure the i'm.
peachment and removal of the federal Judge
of their state. They interviewed Mr.. Butler
as to the probability of carrying such
measure through that session. I don't
Know, was Mr. Buffers reply; vi am chair
man of the judiciary committee of the
house. The necessary action can be had
here. But Lyman Trumbull is chairman of
the senate committee, and Judge Trumbull
is troubled with two things-the dyspepsia,
which makes him miserable, and conscience,
which makes him uncertain"
The present pope is an old gentleman with
keen sense of humor. Accredited to the
| papal court is functionary who represents
the political interests of four Central Ameri-
can republics, and who is already bedizened
with the stars Of almost every order created
by the pontificate. Not long ago fresh
negotiation was concluded satisfactorily to
the mother church, and the custom of giving
a new distinction required to be kept up, but
how to do it perplexed the papal chamber
lain. On application in the emergency to
Leo himself, the latter said: "This time give
him snuff box with my portrait" The
diplomatist accepted the golden gift, de-
tached the portrait therefrom, and appeared
at the next audience with it hanging from
his neck Another state negotiation unex-
expectedly arose, and when il was solved,
again there came up the question of an
honorarium. "This time" said Leo, "give
him marble statue, and see il he will weaI
that around his neck. ."-Argonaut
