The internal commerce of the United
States, In the impression 1t makes upon cur
rent thought, has generally been secondary
to the foreign commerce. The Suez canal.
accommodating the ships of all nations, is no
doubt popularity regarded as the greatest
water highway on the earth. Yet there is
on the northern border of the United States
a canal connecting Lake Superior with the
Southern Lakes that bears upon its waters.
during those msnths when it is not closed by
ice, more commerce than the Suez Canal
bears in year. And this commerce that
surpasses In magnitude the worlds COM
merce passing through Suez, is internal COM
merce, largely belonging to the United
States. Compared, too, with The internal
commerce of Europe, the internal commerce
of the United States does not suffer, as may
be roughly shown bya comparison of the
railroad facilities of this country and Eu-
rope. On January list, 1883. there were In
operation in che United States in round num-
bers nearly 100000 miles of railway. At the
same time, In the whole of Europe, which
comprises the great nations like England,
Germany France, Russia and Austria. Hun

there were in operation not quite 10000
miles of railway. Compared with the 14O,-
600 miles of the United States, the railway
mileage of any single European nation is
pitiful. In recent article on the railway
systems of Europe, the Economist Francois
shows that Germany, which leads In the
amount of its railroad mileage, has only
about $4,000 miles operated within her bor-
ders; France has p, 1876 miles; Great Britain
and Ireland about 10000; Russia and Fin
land about $1,000 miles; Austria Hungary
about 10000 miles; Italy some over 1000
miles; Spain about 5000 miles; while the
other nations have railroad mileages varying
from 600O down to three or four hundred.
Length of. railroads is not of course wholly
reliable indication Of the amount Of internal
commerce of country since a short line In
thickly populated region might, and gener-
ally would, transport more commodities than
long line in sparsely settled region. But
OIL the activity of that commerce, and upon
the whole, of its volume also, the amount of
mileage in the United States as compared
with the amount in all Europe, is no doubt
fair standard for estimation. America leads
Europe In railway mileage, because the in
ternal commerce Of free and peaceful States
is bound to surpass that OF burdened and
warning nations, which hamper their own
people by military burdens, and their neigh
bors by threatened aggreSsious

impulsive and enthusiastic, with a laudable
ambition to win the applause of the soldier
element; and it follows that he does not
always avoid the misfortune Of talking too
much and too boastfully. His intentions are
good, but he does not have his tongue under
proper control. In his anxiety to advertise
his sympathy with the crippled and depend
ent veterans, he allows himself to make as
sertions which invite criticism and ridicule,
when he really does not mean any harm.
There is reason to believe that he conducts
the business of his Office in a capable ana
conscientious way; and his difficulties are o.
kind which would quickly disappear II ne
would but consent to moderate his huencS'
and let his works speak for him.

Ii the current report is true, that Johns
Hopkins University has been crippled by
the financial embarrassments of the Balti-
more q Ohio railroad, the system of man.
agement under which some Of the railroads
of this country are operating will be again
brought usefully to public attention, though
the calamity attendant is deplorable. Johns
Hopkins University is a magnificent institu-
ton, an university In the whole sense of the
term, equal in many respects to the older in
stitutions in Europe. As a recruiting and
training station for professors for American
colleges and teachers for American schools,
1t is performing work that already has
been widely appreciated; while as promo
ter Of original investigation Of the problems
OF today, especially in the social, historical
aud political fields 1t is maintaining high
and conspicuous place. OF course such an
institution cannot be sustained by the pay
ments of the students who attend While
the students pay in tuition about $4,000
year, the expenses of the university amount
to about $4,000 year. The expenses have
been betrayed by the proceeds of the Balti-

$1,000 ooe and market value Of a good deal
more than $3,000,0O0 The annual dividend
of this stock was $4,000 The railroad ex-
tended through an old. well settled and
wealthy region. With the proper manage
ment and proper treatment from rivals 1t
should have continued to serve the regions
dependent upon 1t acceptably and pay good
dividend upon its stock. But under the
management Of the CARROTS, and probably
affected also by the reckless and unscrupu-
lous competition that has ruined SO many
American railway properties. the Baltimore

goes large part of the income of the mag
ni6cent institution that Johns Hopkins
founded. If the prospects of the railroad
shall brighten, in few years that institu-
ton will probably be enabled to go on with
out great embarrassment; but unfortunately
the chances for this are said to be unfavora-

The London strikes have brought to the
surface once more the Socialist John Burns.
who, a few years was associated with Hynde-
man and others In the Socialist riots during
which the windows Of the Carlton Club
were smashed and Pail Mall was raided. For
instigating these tumults, more destructive
to silk hats and shopIwindows than to human
life. Burns was sentenced to a short term In
prison. He has come forth to gain addition
al notoriety and apparently additional infiu-
ence also, as leader of the London work
ingmen. Burns is described as young
Catholic Anglo-Irishman, with prodigious
lung power and some rude oratorical ability,
no book education to speak of, but the
physical strength Of giant, and power OF
endurance that makes labor a pleasure
just the man to gain influence with the
crowd of striking and unemployed working
men. Apparently this influence will be suffi-
cient to gain for him advancement never ex-
pected Of the Socialist leaders of the Trafal-
gar Square riots. The death of member
Of Parliament has left vacant at Just this
moment the Parliamentary representation of
Dundee, which is the most radical working
mans town in Scotland, il not in Great Brit
ain. The Socialistic Federation has prompt
ly selected Burns as its candidate; and the
London Daily News, probably the most in
fuential Gladstonian Liberal paper In the
Kingdom, has urged the Liberals Of Dundee
to endorse Burns. The spectacle Of the lead
ing journal of the great Liberal party advis-
ing the nomination of Socialistic agitator,
who not many months ago was imprisoned
for encouraging riots, is strong emphasis
ON the influences that are at work in Ger
tain section of the Liberal party. Mr..
Burns, should he go to Parliament, would
find already there Conybeare, and Cunning.
ham, and Graham, representatives of almost
as radical democracy as he himself would
represent; and together the group would
succeed very well, with little help from the
Irish wing, in showing up the difference be-
tween the Parliament of today and the Par
lament of the old aristocracy.

THE YELLOW GARTER.
The Latest 0aper Among the Unmar-
risd Girls.

The very latest and funniest whim
is the wearing Of the yellow garter.
Just one garter, not two, you under
stand, and it must be worn just above
the left knee. The other stocking
may be wrinkled disconsolately over
the shoe top or be fastened in place
by any one or all OF the mysterious
devices known only to the initiated
but the left one is held firmly by a
band of yellow silk elastic. with q
ribbon rosette of the same shade,
and the correct and proper thing is
to wear it night and day for six
months.
The yellow gsrter's origin is
shrouded in murky uncertainty; but
its signification is known !. to every
girl who possesses it, and this Is It's
charm. Any girl who wears yellow
garter above her left knee is sure to
be engaged in less than six months
The garter must be given to her by a
friend, she must not make or buy it,
and it has never known to fail OF its
purpose but once, and then the own
er was wearing'it on the wrong ex-
tremity, or rather the right one in-
stead of the left.
just wherein lies its potency be-
longs to the ethics of the esotaries of
girlhood, but the girls all wear them.
The slien slips of the girls who want
to be engaged just for fun, though
they aren't half old enough to be
married; the bright. clever girls as
sweet and spicy and wholesome as
carnations, who have a career before
them and say they wouldn't marry
the best man in the world; the hope
less girls that have tried everything
else, you know, and are accustomed
to failures; the sweet-hearted, wo-
manly girls, who are waiting like
Mariana in the moated grange and
sighing because ''he cometh not" and
the naughty, witching girls, who
could marry every fellow in the
market if they were not 30 sort of be-
wildering that no one quite dares
ask them, and the shy girls, who hide
the yellow band from their very best
friends, and think of it when they
say their prayers, all waiting for
some brave knight of the garter to
help them solve the problem concern
ing the success or failure Of the
time-honored institution. which is
causing so much controversy at pres
entail wear the yellow garter.
