RAILROAD EARNINGS.

One hundred and twenty-eight com
panies, controlling seventy-four thou
sand one hundred and four miles of road &,
give detailed statement of their earn
ings for September in BrudStlGCt'S. The
aggregate earnings for the month were
thirty-two million five hundred and
sixty-eight thousand four hundred and
fifty-siX dollars, an increase of eleven
and n half per cent over the correspond
ing month last year. For August one
hundred and thirty-eight companies re-
ported q gain in gross earnings OF a
fraction over ten per cent compared
with August, 1SSS. In July it was
nearly eight per cent and for June five
per cent. These figures prove that the
railroads Of the country are in Us flour
ishing condition as any other branch
OF business.
In the central west the group known
as the Granger roads, ten in number,
earned during September one million
and a quarter more than in the same
month last year. Six of tho Pacific
roads report an increase Of four and a
half millions. OF the thirty companies
reporting decreases only three are To-
Gated In the west-the Atlantic & Pa
cific, st. Paul & Duluth, and st. Josep h
81 Granu Island,
This is certainly flattering state
ment. 1t shows that the cry OF distress
is being manufactured for ulterior pur-
poses, and proves that the railroads OF the
country, despite rate wars and inter
state commerce regulations, are earn
ing fair per cent on their enormously
inflated capital.

THE consolidation of the Motor with
the Omaha Consolidated street car line
is to be regretted for many reasons, the
chief of which is the need of future eX-
tension of our street railway system.
While il is true that Omaha has more
miles of street railway than any other
city of her population, two or three
years more of rivalry would have been
of great advantage.

If IT is true that the Motor company
has sold out for five millions of dollars
there ought TO be a snug surplus of four
millions dollars profit for the Motor peo-
pie. The actual cost of the Motor lines
could not possibly exceed three quar-
ters of million and with the Council
Bluffs bridge thrown in the real invest
ment will not exceed twelve hundred
thousand dollars for every foot OF
motor line between Council Bluffs and
South Omaha. But then there are the
franchises which probably are valued
at four millions.

WHEN men copy laws from statute
books OF other states without revising
them to suit our conditions there is al
ways sure to be more or less laundering.
This is the case with our new registra-
tion law. The bill was almost q copy
OF the New York statute, which doubt
less is adapted TO the wants OF New York
city, and conforms to the letter and
spirit of the New, York constitution.
But Omaha and the less populous cities
of Nebraska are not in condition to wear
the habits of New York. In
other words, the New York regis
tration law is entirely too complex.
Unfortunately the law will have to be
complied with until it is either modi-
fed, repealed or declared void by the
courts. Willing or unwilling, every
citizen will have to conform to it.
Wednesday is a registration day, being
the third last. Every citizen who has
not first registered will not be able to
vote without very great difficulty or de-
lay that will be tantamounJ to dis
franchisement. For this reason, we
urge upon all citizens to be sure TO
register.

THE Pan-American congress has vi
talized the subsidy grabbers in all sec
tions of the country. These enthusi-
astic surplus raiders are convinced that
trade cannot be established with South
America without substantial bonus
from the government. They insist that
American enterprise cannot cope with
foreigners unless the channels of trade
are fabricated. Congressman Far
quhar, of New York, is the most lib
eral of the group. He has prepared a
bill proposing a subsidy of thirty cents
a ton every thousand miles to every
American built vessel that shall
clear from port in this country
to foreign market, AT this rate the
bounty would range from five to fifteen
thousand dollars trip, according to
the ships tonnage. But Mr.. Farquhar's
generosity does not stop there.
Although a pronounced protectionist,
he would admit all return freight free
of duty. There is no doubt that an

MIR. w. E. CURTIS, who is in charge
of the Pan-American delegates, cor
rects some of the misstatements that
have found currency in newspapers un-
friendly to Secretary Blaine. One Of
these is that Mr.. Blaine sought the
presidency of the conference. Mr..
Curtis said he made no attempt to Sc
cure this honor, and that the sugges-
tion of his name was received with
unanimous favor, statement which
is borne out by the Chilian MIN
lister, who said the only question
raised related to the legality of making
the secretary of state, who is not a
delegate to the conference, its presi-
dent. Another misstatement is in CIV
ing Cleveland and Bayard any credit
in connection with the conference, the
well-known fact being, as Mr.. Curtis
says, that both were opposed to it, Bay
ard having advised Cleveland to veto
the bill providing for the conference.
AS to Mr.. Blaine having originated the
PROJECT, Mr.. Curtis states that it was
first proposed by Simon Bolivar, in
1924, who was then president OF the
United States of Columbia.

good result OF the recent organization Of
