TIE introduction to Poor's manual of
the railroads of the United States, which
has JUS been issued, presents unusually
comP PIete and instructive statistics, bear
ing on the magnitude of the Industry.
They are deserving of careful study. The
number of miles of track laid up to the
CLOSE of last year amounted to 1892
with capital stock and debt of over
50 9,O00,OOO,O0O. Such has been the growth
since 1881, when there were only 101
miles CT railroad in this country. The
new mileage of 1887 ia placed at 13,060.
Some idea of the greatness of this III
dustry oan be obtained by comparing the
S9,OOO,000,00O 40 invested with the 81
100000 of capital engaged in manu-
factaring in 1880 and the $12,000,000,-
600 invested in agriculture. And the
railroad question presses more heavily
upon Us than ever.

MAYOR HEMIlT,S LETTER.
It is Very Emphatic on Questions of National
Politics.

1t is Very Emphatic on Questions OF National
Politics.
NEW YORK, Oct. 16. Mayor Hewitts
letter of acceptance, given to the press
tonight, is very emphatic on questions of
national politics. II stand where l
always have stood on the decl arations
of this democratic platform. l am the
warm advocate of revenue reform,
democratic candidates for president aud
vice-president." This declaration derives
increased significance from the fact that
the letter was addressed to the com mites
of citizens of different parties who
first renominated Mr.. Hewitt. He mott
fed them that if they support him they
must give their votes to him as firm be-
lever in the democratic platform of 1884,
reaffirmed in 1888, CT which he was the
author, as embodying his views on i'm
migration and naturalization. la the
face of the action of Candidates
Grant and Hewitt, and OF all the demo-
cratic organizations and candidates the
attempt to get up q scare about the vote
of the city for presidential election is
regarded by sensible observers here as
utterly futile and absurd. Prominent re-
publicans no longer claim that Har
rison will gain through the local demo
cratic situation,
