 "The Americans are surely very peculiar people. Last night I went to bear well known gentleman lecture on what these people term live issues, and must say that never heard a more ridiculous discourse The people laughed in his very face. but he did not appear to mind it. He talked about ab suri things, and spoke of showing his fist inro the bosom of the night, and wen. on at some length to tell of dog that had tieas did not want to be rude but really laughed actually expected to see the people mob the fellow, he was so very, very queer"

The Mohave Miner in common with every journal in Arizona believes that the office of commissioner of emigra- ton should be abolished. It says: The next legislature should, at the earliest moment, abolish the office of commis- sioner of emigration. About nine-tenths of the Territory receives no benefit from the work of that official, but pays the ex- penses just the same. The counties that have the proper inducements to offer settlers can obtain them at their own expense, and will readily raise the means to do so, and the work will be more effectually done.

LONG HAUL FREIGHT TRAFFIC

There is no eccentricity more idiotic or indefensble to the ordinary citizen than habit railroads have of sometimes charging less money for long haul than they charge for short haul Yet be- lieve there is not railroad line in the United States which will not be found guilty of this crime of "less for the long haul" if it's rates are followed far enough. For if followed far enough we shall come to the ocean and find the railroad accept ing business between two seaports. For instance, every railroad running westward from New York through some of its con- nections finally reaches San Francisco, and competes for freight between these ports. But the rates they are able to ob. tain, are limited by steamers using the ocean for highway, and sailing vessels using the wind for motive power, and able to carry heavy freights at one-tenth the average costto railroads across mosn. tains and deserts. This average cost must fix the average rates charged b, the railroads to intermediate points, such as to Ogden, in Utah. So tho railroad must either charge less for the long haul to San Francioco, or leave that business to be done sorely by water. Yet it may be profitable to the railroad to accept the business at such rates as it can obtain; for as in all business ventures, manufac- turing or mercantile, new business can always be added at less than the average cost. .-From Railway management" by Gen. E. p. Alexander, in the January Scrbner,s.
