ANNUAL STATEMENT OF THEILLiNo,S
CENTRAL RAILROAD COMPANY.
New York FinanclaI l'hfonicle, March >.

NeM AoFk Fhhucia thtonlclt, March .
We are not little surprised at
the favorable outcome Of the 1888
operations on the Illinois Central
as disclosed in the annual report
just issued. As our readers ara
aware, the company reduced its
latest semi-annual dividend from
81 to y per cent, making with the
~ previously paid 6 per cent out
of 1883 earnings. The reduction
was perhaps not unexpected, but
the more timid stockholders ware
made quite uncomfortable by very
confident utterances on the part Of
persons claiming to be wcllinform.
ed that even 6 per cent had been
far from earned.
What are the factsl II il found
that while in one aspect the asser.
tions had in them an appearances
of truth, in the real sense they
were totally misleading. Count.
ing in full every charge for inter
est, rentals and sinking fund. and
also s22O,7Sl for permanent i'm.
proyements, and allowing, further.
more, for the 9 per cent dividends,
the surplus dividend fund at tho
end OF 1883 stood at sl63,536.
against Sl36,3J6 at the beginning
Thus the shortage is apparently
S212,S2O; but if the $220,7sl for
construction expenditures (which
by many companies would be made
q charge to capital aecount) were
taken out and also the $50, 900 for
sinking fund (Which diminishes
the debt to that amount). the &C.
counts of the year would come out
about cyen--that is, on that basis
the q per cent dividends were iust
earned. or course that is not
nearly MS satisfactory as in the
year preceding, when per cent
dividends We're paid and S5S3,377

was looked for in lSSS-in fact, a
company which can show 6 Der

preston as the last must be con.
sldered To have done remarkably
well.

and on the other hand, a man or
woman who buys and eats a good
oyster-stew, or poor one, and
then charges the cost Of it to u
charity account, doesn't deceive the
Lord into believing any such non
sense; but if the oyster eater is de.
ceived thereby, that oyster-eater is
the worse for those oysters. Civ.
ing is giving, aud buying or sell
ing is buying or selling, Those
things which God has made two,
let no nan or woman call one. One
of the crying evils of to-day is the
confusing of pure business trans
actions or selfind ulging plelsur
hunting with acts of charity. A
person asks to be paid wages or Il
salary in a business establishment
on the ground that he or she needs
th c money, whether competent or
not to do the work of the position
to which that remuneration is at
tached. A person asks to have d
composition accepted by an editor

tor apart from the question of the
poverty of ideas in the manuscript
A person is asked to go and wit
ness some private theatricals, or
to listen to q concert, or to attend

buy a pincushiou or a quart ofpea-
nuts, in order to get the money in.
to the Lords treasury by that par.
tieular channel. All this is wrong.
Its tendency is evil and only evil.
1t leads many person to oelieve
that one ought to expect an imme-
diate personal reward for giving

policy as would he the substituting

INGALLS, eULoeY.

During the memorial services in
the Senate in honor of the late Mr..
Burnes, of Missouri, President In
gals took the floor and made an
al lress, which for sublimity of
thought and beauty of diction has
been rarely surpassed BY any orator
of modern days.
We append few extracts:
sin the democracy of death all
men at Hast are equal. There is
neither rank nor station nor pre-.
rogatiye in the republic of the
grave. AT that fatal threshold the
philosopher ceases to be wise, and
the song Of the poet is silent. At
that fatal threshold, Dives relin-
quishes his wealth and Lazarus
his rags. The poor man is as poor
as the richest and the rich man is
as poor as the pauper. The credit.
or loses his uslry, and the debtor
is acquitted Of his obligation. Tho
proud man surrcnders dignity, the
politician his honors, the wording
his pleasures. Here the invalid
needs no physician and the labOrer
rests from nnrequited toll. Here
at last is natures final decree III
equity. The irony of fate in re-
futed. The wrongs of time are
redressed and injustice is expiated.
The unequaIed distribution of
wealth, or honor, capacity, pleas
ure and opportunity, which make
life so cruel and inexplicable n
tragedy, ceases in the realm Of
death. The strongest has there
no supremacy and the weakest
needs no defense The mightiest
captain succombs to that invinci-
BILE adversary, who disarms alike
the victor and the vanquished.

SELLING OYSTERS Fer THE CHURCH

Selling oysters with the inten.
tion of giving the proceeds to re-
ligious enterprise is certainly not
in itself sinful. On the contrary,
it may be very commendable line
of business. So, again, buying and
eeting oysters with the knowled ge
that the money paid for them is to
go into a church treasury, has in
itself no element of evil--if the
oysters are good oysters, and the
month of their eating has an s.Rv
in it. But such selling of oysters
is not in itself a gift to the Lord
even though the gift of its profits
may be a purpose 0fthe dealer; nor
is the eating of oysters under such
circumstances in itself self.deny-
ing act of beneficence, simply be.
cause Of the dealers purposed use
OF the profits. And here il where
an important line of distinction is
often lost sight of. If selling and
buying be understood to be an act
of pure secular business, apart
from ypurposed use of theprofits
of such a transaction, there is no
harm done through any proper at
tention to legitimate business acti-
vities. But if selling and buying
be claimed as in itself giving to
the Lord, the claim is a false one.
and there is harm in its pressing
or in its aecentance. If AGAIN
there be an attempt to run togeths
er a pure business operation and 4
generous act Of beneficence, as if
the distinction between the two
things was not real aud positive,
there is no harm to all concerned
through the moral confusion which
accompanies such laundering. a
man, on woman, has no right to
sell poor oysters or a scanty por-
tion, on the ground that themoney
for the sale belongs to the Lord,

BoNFoaT's ADMISSIONS.

The following language il taken
from Bonforts Wine and Spirit
Circular, which has long stood ut
the head of the publications in the
interest of the liquor business:
1t is all very well for the wine
and spirit trade TO quiet its apprc-
tensions by reverting to the ma
jorities against prohibition in the
Michigan, Texas, Tennessee, Oregon
and West Virginia elections, but
the fact is still apparent that the
sentiment against our business is
constantly growing in this country
and gaining friends among the most
substantial element in our popula
tion. The question is a grave one.
and the sooner we appreciate fully
the hold it is securingon the public
mind and conscience the better. 1t
is to most of Its followers what the
slavery question was to its adherents
"a great moral question. The good
that alcohol does is little referred
to; the harmful effects following its
abuse are seen by all the world.
TO check this abuse is the aim of
the conservative classes, and hop-
ing to find remedy in prohibition,
they are rapidly falling into it's
ranks. Weare familiar with society's
complaints against the liquor traffic
We realize that there is good ground
for many of these complaints. We
deplore the facts, but stand help.
less and without a word of advice
to those who would correct them
Herein lies our weakness. We are
without policy. We see young
men becoming drunkards, but we
offer no remedy. We see old men
turn to common sots, we offer no
remedy. We see the scum of society
all flocking into the retail liquor
business, but we offer no remedy.
We see these men gain control Of
city governments, but we offer no
remedy. We see the retail liquor
business dragged down to the level
of the bawdy house, and little hells
are operated III public placesunder
liquor licenses, but we offer no
remedy. The great mass OF our
fellow-citIzens are not opposed to
the manufacture or sale of wine,
beer, or whisky, but they are op-
posed to the abuses referred TO
above, and demand their correc-
tion. They are rightand we should
add our protests to theirs. We
should define an aggressive reform
policy that will attract them to our
standard. We should demand the
passage of restrictive laws that will
prevent any bur reputable men re-
failing wines and spirits. Heaven
knows we would like to see more
good men in the retail business
men who would not sell spirits. to
drunkards; who would not conduct
vile dens, and who would observe
law Our ideas coincide with those
Of the conservative masses, but we
are held back by a fear Of coDse-
quenees of commercial character.
In the mean time this sc0nseryative
element, impatient, IS fiocking to
the prohibition and high license
standards. We can secure their
votes, but we must have a policy
q policy bold and aggressive.

CURTIS ON HARmsoNs DUTY.
From lIarperis Weekly.

Besides the enforcement of the
law to which the President takes
oath, and which now includes
about 25,000 places, the pledge Tof
the Republican platform uneqni-
'vOcally binds the Executive and

of the meaning OF the words. They
mean that the service Shall not be
treated as spoils, and that there
shall be 10 partisan "sweep" of the

This is the standard deliberately
erected by the Republican party,
