The net earnings of a railway we un-
ierstand to be the profits over and above
all operating expenses, and these we take
to include the wages of employees and
officers, and the cost Of keeping up the
track and repairing damages to bridges
and rolling stock. Dividends on capital
stock and interest on bonds do not seem
to come under the head of operating ex-
penses.
This much being promised, we are at
loss 10 understand the reported dis
crepancy in the figures gwen the Florida
Railway Commission and those published
to the capitalists Of New York 10y the en-
terprisino successors Of the Florida Rail
way and Navigation Company. We have
been persistentlv informed, and we think
the same thing has been dngdonged into
the ears of the Commission, that the rail
roads Of this State, since the establish
ment of the Commission, have not been
making money enough to pay their opera
ting expenses and, II we mistake not,
some of the managers have presented
sworn exhibits to tins state OF att IFS.
Evidently, however, this is not applicable
to the Florida Central amt Peninsular
Railroad Company successors 10 the r
RI 81 n. Coy, for we observe In the New
York World an authorized advertise
ment setting forth that the net earn
lngs of this road have been as fol-
lows: For 1856, $l75, 466.7O; for
1867, $l74,3l3.6S; for 1873, Sl73,-
92O.6l, and for the months of Novem-
Der, December and January just past,
s94,sl6.29 Thus it will be seen that the
net earnings are increasing und r the
Commission, and that, too, at very
gratifying rate No doubt this is attrib
utable in a large measure to the superior
management Of Receiver Duval and his
able lentenants, Capt. Maxwell and Col.
MacDonell but it will serve to show
what other roads might do by exercising
similar business prudence and enterprise,
and also that the hue and cry against the
Commission is not so just as it might APP
pear to the superficial observer. The
lesson taught would seem to be that it is
not ii e Commission, but the want OF
proper business management which
causes the roads to lose money.

deliberately and beautifully decorated
with potted and cut flowers. Above the

on the head Of my little grandchild, then
