So saws Frank w. Bird, in an interview published
in The Boston Post" Mr. Bird is known as

Who is Carrying the Debt?

NtFtt Ast"o.
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and the
Atchison, are both tarred with the same stick.
Both are staggering under a floating debt in
Cured by paying unearned dividends, and
losses in operating. We know that the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy is really a little
worse of than the Atchison, which was
compelled to issue a second mortgage for
5000, 900 or 81, OOO, 600. in order to meet its
current obligations and keep the road in OPP
GRAFTON. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
has, 30 far as the public knows, done nothing
of the kind. The question is, who is carry
ing this large floating debt Of the company
They had less than a million balance of cash
assets at the beginning of the year, and have
lost about $4,000 900 since. So whom is this
owing. Are the millionaire directors coming
to the aid of the company and lending it
money without security, or has the company
quietly placed a collateral trust, or has it sold
some of it's assets in the treasury' Some IN
formation on this point would undoubtedly
be received with interest.

A Terrible Epidemic.

George Francis Train: When two
years old my yarents moved to New Or
leans. In 1923, when l was four years
old, the great fever ragged. The edi-
demic at Jacksonville seems ridiculous
in comparison. Only 800 have died
there, while 800 died every day at Mem
phis, and New Orleans was worse. / was
only four years old, but I remember
they had no collins at New Orleans, nc
grave-stones, no hearses, but every day
a great cart came numbering down the
street and a hoarse cry would resound:
"Awho-o-o! bring out your dead"
Then my little sister Lulu died. They
put her in a little pine box. Then my
sister Ellen died, as frail a little flower
as ever blossomed. That child's face
has never left my memory, and when
she was put in the box | waited wonder
ingly for the call, Bring out your
dead!" The water splashed up into the
wagon in the graveyard. Then my
dear mother followed, and then my
nurse. My father then received a let
ter from my grandmother, "For Gods
sake ,Vsend one of the family north be-
fore they are all dead. Can't you send
George Francis to me, and save a rem
nant of our racer" A tag was then fas-
tened TO me marked: John Clark,
Boston. Take good care OF the little
fellow. They are all dead but him"
I was put on a steamer and | flOated
down the Mississippi, up the Gulf stream
TO Boston and I seem to be floating still.
Our family of eleven died in that cpl
demic.

London Echo: II one wants to realize
the real sharpness OF contrasts in Lon
don, where horrible slums are side by
side with wealthy squares, and where
the beggar and the millionaire tread
the same pavements, one cannot see it
better than by walking a very few steps
from the well-dressed, middle-class de-
corum assembled in st. Georges church,
Bloomsbury, or the fine drawn intellect
ualisms of Mr.. Stopford Brooke at Bed
ford chapel, into Seven Dials, on any
Sunday morning. 1t is really a matter
of some difficulty to pass along Neal
street or Little Earl street, SO crowded
is the whole roadway with coster-
mougers and Cheap Jacks barrows.
Every one of the little poverty-stricken,
grimy shops are open, and the whole
scene is more busy than it is on any
other day OF the week. The sight is
one to freeze the heart of a strict sabba-
tarlan. but, more than that, it is a truly
dreadful picture of the real condition
of life IN west central London. | stood

LABOR NOTES.

A Pittsburg contractor and engineer, so it
is given out, has closed q contract for the
erection of an immense iron and steel plant
at Sabinos, Mexico. The plant Is to cost
50, 0O0, 900 and will consist of two blast fur
naces, a BeSScmer rail and nail plate mill,
and structural iron works.
The longest white pine sticks that were
ever cut in Michigan, probably, were recently
manufactured in a mill at Cadillac. They
were six in number and were s. feet long
and were 1912 inches in diameter. A stick
of timber was sawed at Hastings Mil, Puget
Sound, recently that was LOG feet long by "a
inches square.
The Importation of pauper labor from
Europe into Pennsylvania will be inveSti-
gated in a few days by the congressional in
vestigating committee. Judge g. II. Sim
mons, special agent of the government, has
been looking over the field in that state in
advance Of the committees sessions to be
held in Philadelphia and Pittsburg, and has
succeeded in gathering important points for
the committee to work upon.
The Brotherhood of Railway Porters of the
United States and Canada (colored) has is
sued an address to the different railroad
brotherhoOds which reflects in strong Ian
guage against the determinations which
govern the admission of colored people in
those organizations. The address closes by
inviting all railroad men, irrespective OF
color, to Join the colored organization.
In the musical arrangements for the Yelled
Prophets parade at st. Louis the members
of the Musicians Mutual Benefit association
were given the preference, and the force of
union musicians was exhausted before any
non-union bands were employed. This Is q

the method was to get all the nOn-union
bands obtainable before employing union
bands, and many of the bands employed were

Angry woods. and an occasional blow

OF the lives they lived. Young men in

them to bcstow n thought upon their
personal appearances; strong middle
aged men whose love Of drink was APP

enough TO BIO grandmothers. these pre-
vailed in the crowd. And the noise and
the hustle, the tumult and bargaining,
lasts till about 1880, when things resume
a more weekday-like tranquility. But

THE TROUBLE Ar WINNIPEG.

Events are happening at Winnipeg
which may lead to the most important
consequences, and which have an in
tense interest for the northwestern
states and territories. English states
men are fond of declaring that the idea
of Canadians asking to be admitted into
the United States is the veriest dream
and delusion. This may be true of
Quebec and Ontario, for those two PROV
inces nave a strong national character.
The former is French, and the latter
contains a very large number OF retired
English officers, who have made that
province effusively loyal. But with
regard to Manitoba, and the lands lying
west as far as Puget Sound and Van
%couver's Island, the citizens of those
sections are by no means of
the same homogeneous nationality.
They are like the people
of our own northwest, emigrants from
all countries of Europe, fleeing from the
burden OF taxation, from the middle Of
political economy, from the disadvant-
| ages imposed upon them by the dis
tinctions Of caste, and from the perpetual
menace of war, whose cost is greater
than war itself. The consequence Is
that between the northwest provinces
| OF British America and the northwest
| ern states and territories there is an
immense sympathy based upon that fell
low feeling that makes all humanity
wondrous kind. They are nearer to us
by far thar to their alleged brethren Of
Ontario and Quebec, and the very argu-
ment advanced by British statesmen to
prove the idea of Canadian annexation
in the east a mere dream is the strong
est argument that in the west it is a
reality.
The cause Of the trouble demonstrates
this absolutely. The people OF Winni-
peg have been most DESTROYS of on
n~ection with the Northern Pacific rail-
road, and the government line, the
Canadian Pacific, has been e~ndeavoring
to prevent any such alliance. The mu-
nicipal authorities at Winnipeg have
taken sides unanimously with the North
ern Pacific and have done everything
possible to facilitate their entrance into
the city. When the American line had
come within hailing distance Of the
point where their track layers would
have to cross the track of the Canadian
Pacific it was discovered hat the cross
ing was blocked by three engines and a
number OF cars loaded with Ia
borers armed with axe and pick-axes,
When this fact vas thoroughly known
to the people of Winnipeg the local
government, that is the mayor, alder
men and high sheriff, swore in as spec
ial ~constables between seven and eight
hundred business men OF Winnipeg,
and these, armed with revolvers, have
been guarding ever since the track
layers OF the Northern Pacific. In

Mixing Politics With Religion.

The authorities of the Northern Methodist
church do not relish the attempt of some OF
their ministers to represent the church as an
appendix to the third party. One bishop has
made his voice heard in conference in the
matter, and one conference has administered
an implied rebuke to those who were using
their pulpits for the purpose of urging the
claims Of that political party. Nothing in
deed 10 more notable in the course taken by
this party than it's entire Indifference to the
claims of the weekly day of rest. Democrats
and republicans lay aside their differences on
Sunday to worship in common, and to fix
their attention on those great truths about
which no good mel differ. The prohibition
lists hold public meetings of their party on
Sunday, and they use the pulpit to advertise
their weekday meetings, where they do not
turn 1t into a political machine itself. This
course is not only unfair but socially mis-
chievous. The social sanity of the American
people depends more and more with every
decade upon the maintenance Of a day of
weekly rest, in which the weekday excite
| ments of business, politics and what is called
society" shall stop entirely. On that all
| sane people, whatever their views Of the re-
ligious obligation Of Sunday, must agree.

THE report of the democratic minor
ity of the senate committee which in

brave effort to defend the shortcomings

but not with a success proportional to
the earnestness and elaboration of the

failure Of the president to faithfully and
honestly carry out a civil service reform

mitted by the sincere friends of reform

The Venezuelan Republic.

DR.. w. f. Hutchinson in American
Magazine: At 8 in the evening we ar
rived at Las Tablas, the nearest port to
the famous Callao gold mines, that
were for several years among the most
productive in the world. OF late, how
ever, their yield has been falling of,
until the price of shares hat paid $40
each per month upon a par value of
5000. has dwindled down to ST.. The de-
crease, it is said, is due partly to a
change of management and partly to q
contraction of the vein of ore. Shafts
have beer sunk only to the depth of 800
feet, however, and 1T is expected that as
they progress more will be obtained.
The gold was brought aboard in four
boxes, each containing two bars of u
thousand ounces tied up in gunny
cloths. with IL wooden bouy attached in
case of an accident coming Of the
steamer. They were thrown down on
the cabin floor with apparent careless
ness, but two well armed men watched
the treasure carefully all night, and in
the morning it vas to be landed at
Cindad Bolivar, in transit for Caracas,
where it is coined.
When that morning came, as IL does
down here, almost with a bang like
Pats sunset, the steamer was tied head
and stern to volcanic rocks half imbed-
ded in white sand, alongside u steep hill
of the same, some sixty feet high. Up
and down it's shifting side a few discon-
ISOLATE donkeys were climbing. carrying
grass upon which to feed the rest Of the
day; and at the top dark wall stretched
along the town front, showing above it
a few yellow walled flat-roofed houses.
And that Is all that is visible at frs,
glance of the fourth city of the Vene'
zuelan republic.
After this difficult hill was sur.
mounted, the town developed into 9
rambling lot OF streets upon a series Of
hills, the highest one crowned by 9
cathedral church and a pretty little
square containing one fair bronze
statue of the great Bolivar, and foul
wretched plaster ones, representing the
four countries that owe their freedom
to his craftsmanship and valOr.

THE unusual precaution taken by
Chairman Quay of the republican ma
tional committee to ensure an honest
vote in New York City is highly signifi-
cant. The large rewards offered for
the arrest and convection OF ballot-stuf-
fers and reporters and the careful can
vass of the votes of that city, will have
a tendency to check illegal voting.
But New York is not the only large city
where the democrats depend for success
on crookedness at the ballot box. Chi
cago, San Francisco, Boston and other
leading cities OF the country have time
aud again been stolen by the democrats
