STOCKS STILL MOVING UPWARD.
The stock market continues 20 move upward,
but no longer without meeting with some resist
ance from the old bear party. The enect OF the
efforts toward depression j., however nmioeu 10
small fractions and is only temporary, result
ing in the development of marked increase 10
confidence and frmer tone than before Some
operators who still heavily short OF the market
seem TO fail TO realize that so far as the spee9la-
ton is concerned there has been bear market
for a year, and that prices are now severely de-
pressed Few realize that the good STOCKS never
in recent years have sold high as their earning
capacity warranted. Burlington and Quincy 81

il was earning / 0al2 per cent and even In the
last year of rate cutting earned per cent on the
stock The Northwestern, common and preferred,
never sold az figures representing the last TWO
years earnings-over II per cent on beth classes.
And vet the market has treated the stocks OF both
of these COMPANIES as If IL expected the con-
servative dividend which they have been paying
would be reduced Does any one believe that
the officials OF Western railroads will be permitted
TO make such havoc with rates during another

IOWA RAILWAYS.
Some Interesting Comparisons
With the New York Central.


With the New York Central.
Special to the Globe.
DEs MONIES, To-, Feb. 12.-The Iowa
railway commissioners annual report,
the publication of which has been de-
layed for some reason not yet clearly
explained, contains some information
of interest in connection with the
present agitation for an iron-clad rail-
way regulation IN Iowa. The commits
siOnerS oppose the twO-cent passenger
rate for the reason that it would be un-
just to the roads. They cite the case of
the New York Central as being the only
road in the country that is compelled by
legislative act to carry at the two-cent
rate, but do not deem the situation in
Iowa would justify similar action. The
Central carries 0,034 passengers to each
mile of road, while Iowa carries 1,22S
to each mile, or it has Is per cent of the
mileage of Iowa roads and 145 per cent
of the entire business in this state. 1t
is noteworthy fact that the pas
senger earnings per mile in Iowa
have only run from $1,245 in 1878
to S1,276 in 1887. The commissioners
suggest a reduction of freight rates in
local traffic to basis of rates charged
ON interstate traffic for like distances.
The local traffic is % per cent of the
total business. The commissioners also
recommend the fencing of all railroad
track in the state, and the repeal of the
statute allowing taxes to be voted in aid
of projected lines. The general drift of
the commissioners argument on the
freight and passenger rate question is
strictly opposed to the views expressed
by the governor in his inaugural. This
fact gives color to the charge that the
governor purpOsely retarded the publi-
cation of it on this account, having held
it in his possession seven weeks.

A BOARDING HOUSE BURNED.
And Several Persons Injured in
Trying to Escape.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
BROOKLYN, N. Y, Feb. IA fire
which broke out at 2:30 this mornin in
the large boarding house, known as the
Harper house. at Nos. los and 107 Clark
street, caused the most intense excite
ment in that neighborhOod for time.
Unfortunately, several persons in their
efforts to escape from the burning
building, were more or less injured.
The house, which was elegantly fur
niShed and was regarded as one of the
fashionable boarding houses on the
heights, was kept by Mrs. E.
Combes. When the fire broke out there
were about thirty boarderS and nine
servants asleep in the house. When
the first alarm was given they might
possibly, with a little haste, have all
escaped, but it took some time to arouse
them. The house was a three-story
double structure. The injured persons
were those on the third floor Mrs.

of life among the older nations gives
one more intense desire that the
American shall make no mistake in

culture to every home. To this end,
not less earnestly and more directly as
a private citizen than as public can
dldate, shall devote myself with the
confident belief that the administration
of the government will be restored to
the party which has demonstrated the
purpose and the power to WELD it for
the unity and the honor of the republic
for the prosperity and progress of the
people. | am very sincerely yours,
