RAILROAD EARNINGS.

From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
The year 1888 was not on the whole, a
prosperous one for railroads. Here is a
list of six of the leading lines, suffering a
decline in profits all the way from 81, 49, :
525 to $6,378,148 as compared with the
year 1887. The cause of this is not plain
ly apparent on the face of affairs. Last
year the crops of the country were uni
fOrmly good, and so was business in COM
merce and manufacture. But the roads
fell upon hard times, showing that this
interest, enormous as it has grown to be-
has not become so great as to be free from
the vicissitudes which bring distress upon
other interests not conducted upon so pre-
SumptuouS a scale. After all, the most
formidable railroad system must be sup
ported by the people, with here little and
there little-smali scraps of income from
many sources to pay running expenses, in
terest on debts, and, if anything is left,
earnings on the investments of Stockhold-
erS Railroad officers, as agents of stock
holders. in their ambitious efforts to do
big things. and cut fine figures before the
country. are toO often unmindful of the
small affairs. without due attention to
which no railroad system, however great
in extent and however powerfully backed
by capital, can prosper. Constant strain
ing for the requirement of new connec-
tions and new lines, and the running of
fast through trains" with few paying
passengers il them. have ruined many
fine railroad properties. 1t is an old the
Ory in railrOading, accepted by astute and
experienced men, that tits good local traf-
fic which makes good business. As this
is built up and held, so is prosperity at
tanned Local traffic is the steady busi-
ness which comes in when days are rainy
and times are dark, or washout inter
rupts through trains, or competing line,
by an extra inducement or "cut," tempo
rarily gains the advantage in the run of
travel. 1t is, therefore, poor management
to ignore or discriminate against the lit
tie business points along the line, or dis
courage local travel. The small towns
should be helped with all reasonable ac-
commOdations in the way of passenger
and freight trains. Their enlargement in
population and business is q substantial
and permanent improvement in railroad
patronage which can not be disturbed by
rivalries, and is a steady income in all
kinds of seasons in trade
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1889-03-07

UNDER the caption Public Opinion
will be found an interesting article con-
cerning railroad earnings. That part OF
it relating to local traffic accords with
the observation of intelligent men every
where and in all time; and yet railway
corporations treat this certain and al
ways to be relied upon and most profit
able traffic with indifference, and, it ap-
pears, can depend upon Legislatures up
holding their determinations A pas
senger gets into a second-class coach at
GAINESVILLE and pays about as much for
riding to Bellaire as passenger in first
class coach in the rear pays from Zanes-
vile to Bellaire. This simply because
the latter has a ticket from Chicago to
Baltimore. And yet, without the patron
age of the former class, not railroad in
the country could be operated.
Sometime this iniquity will be righted,
and with that at-cutting on through
rates ended.

greatest evil, it is serious evil. Our
revenue should be ample to meet the or
dlnary demands upon our trt asury with
a sufficient margin for those extraordi-
nary but scarcely less imperative de-
mands which arise now and then. Ex-
penditures should always be made with
economy and only upon public necessi-
ty. WaStefUlnesS, profligacy and favor
itiSm in public expenditures is criminal.
But there is nothing in the condition of
our country or our people to suggest that
anything presently necessary to the pub
lie prosperity, security or honor should
be unduly postponed. 1t will be the
duty of Congress wisely to forecast and
estimate these extraordinary demands,
and, having added them to our ordinary
expenditures, to so adjust our revenue
laws that no considerable annual surplus
will remain. We will, fortunately, be
able to apply to the redemption of the
public debt any small or unfore,e ,een ex-
cess of revenue. This is better than to
reduce our income below our necessary
expenditures with the resulting choice
between another change of our revenue
laws and increase of the public debt 1t
is quite pSSSible, l am sure, to effect the
necessary reduction in our revenues
without breaking down our protective
tariff or seriously injuring any domestic
industry.

THE SITUATION IN OHIO,

From the Sandusky Register
The citizen who is anxious to get at the
bottom of Richard Smiths opposition to
the denomination of Governor Foraker
and will reread what Mr.. Smith said in
his Toledo Commercial article, will arrive
at the conclusion that Mr.. Smith believes
that if Governor Foraker is renominated
or dictates the nomination, he or his can
didate will be antagOnized by certain other
gentlemen who do not propose to take a
back seat and permit the Governor to eat
all the chestnuts; that if Major Mckinley
Or Ben ButterwOrth should be nominated
either of them would be antagoniZed by
the other great" men for the same rea-
son. Mr.. Smiths theory is that all these
able men wish to step into Mr. Payne's
seat in the Senate, that they are jealous
of each other; that each regards the Gov
OrnOrShip as of special value in Senate
rial contest to the candidate who can con-
troll its influence, and that each is deter
mined to prevent any rival from having
that advantage. Therefore, argues Mr..
Smith, the party is in danger of losing the
GOvernOrShip unless the nomination goes
to some man outside of the list of ambiti-
Gus gentlemen who have an eye on the
SenatOrship, and he warns the party not
to make the mistake of selecting as q can
didate for Governor any man who is a
partisan of Foraker, Mckinley, Foster, or
ButteTwOrth. Mr.. Smiths theory is that
all these Senatorial aspirants will do their
level best for the candidate, provided abe |
is not any mans man"

Additional Editorial on first page.

AT high noon on Monday the Execu-
tive department of the government was
surrendered by so-called Democrats to
Republicans, and with it the control of
the House of Representatives. This is
the first occasion since the Inauguration
of President Grant, in 1873, that an ad
ministration has been ushered in sup
ported by both houses of Congress.
Considering the mighty revolution in
the civil service such change may in
augurate, its peaceful accomplishment
is creditable to the American people
In Great Britain change of administra
ton means a change in about dozen
civil offices; here of many thousands.
The significance of this change is not
the distribution of offices, but the main
tenance of the American system, the
vindication of free elections, and the pro-
lection of all electors in safe participa
ton in that high privilege.
The indications are that the scramble
for place will be unprecedented in the
history of the country. Nine-tenths of
those who are seekers for place will be
disappointed, and the disappointment of
very many will be keen. These persons
may console themselves with the reflec-
ton that the great majority of men who
secure appointment in the civil service
are hurt, rather than benefited by it
That has been the experience of all time.
All men acquainted with its workings
know that, as rule, no greater mistake
can be made by young man who has
any promise of usefulness than the aban-
donment of business or professional pur-
suits to engage in the civil service of the
government.

IN another column will be found a
statement of Democratic defalcations in
Ohio, copied from the SandIsky Register.
That of Belmont county is incorrectly
stated. Two Democratic Treasurers de-
faulted in this county-the first early in
the sos and the latter in 1901. The
amount in the first instance we do not
now recall. In the last it was upward
of $4,000.

GOV. WILSON'S DEFIANT COURSE.

GOV. WILSON'S DEFIANT COURSE.
CHARLESTON, W. VA, Feb. 28.-Gov.
Wilson issued certificates to-day to John
d. Anderson in the Third district and
Jas. NJ. Jackson in the Fourth district,
both Democrats, as the elected members
from those districts to the Fifty-first
Congress. This has been foreshadowed
for some time and was not unexpected.
In reaching the conclusion to issue these
certificates Gov. Wilson declined to con-
slider the vote of Kanawha county,
which cast over 5000 votes and gave
McGinnis 1,346 plurality. His alleged
reason for this action is that there are
some proceedings pending in the courts
in relation to the vote in that county.
The Governor reached his conclusion in
the Fourth district by reading the re-
turns from Peasants county as 812 in
stead of S02. The word "two" was
spelled "twe," and the Governor made it
read %'twelve" The Republicans are
but little disappointed and they will
carry the contest to the House.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
1t is by parliamentary law that Home
Rule is to be won for Ireland. 1t is by an
alliance of English, Scotch, Welsh and
Irish Liberals that victory over Toryism
and obstruction is to be gained The great
body of any people is prone to justice, and
the cause of Home Rule is founded on
justice. A majority of the work people
of Great Britain are in sympathy with
Gladstone and Parnell; nor can it be long
until the majority of work people will
have majority in Parliament Open ag-
itation by constitutional methods will
win; violence plotted in secret leagues
will hinder.

DEMOCRATIC DEFALCATIONS.


From the Sandusky Register.

robbed by their Treasurers.
There are rascalS in both parties, the
proportion being six Democratic robbers
to one Republican rObber.

A SCRAP OF PAPER SAVES HER

1t was just an ordinary scrap of wrap
ping paper, but it saved her life. She was
in the last stages of consumption; told by
physicians that she was incurable and
could live only short time; she weighed
less than seventy pounds. On piece of
wrapping paper she read of DIR. Kings
New Discovery, and got sample bottle;
it helped her; she bought large bottle:
it helped her more; bought another and
grew better fast; continued its use and is
now strong, healthy, plump, weighing 40
pounds. For fuller particulars send stamp

do not mistrust the future. Dangers
have been in frequent ambush along
our path, but we have uncovered and
vanquished them all. Passion has swept
some of our communities, but only to
give us new demonstration that the
great body of our people are stable, pat
riOtic and law abiding. No political
party can long pursue advantage at the
expense of public homer, or by rude and
indecent methods without protest and
fatal disaffectiOn in its body.
The peaceful agencies of commerce
are more fully revealing the necessary
unity of of all our communities, and the
Increasing intercourse of our people is
promoting mutual respect. We shall
find unallOyed pleasure in the revelation,
which our next census will make, of the
swift development of the great resources
of some of the States. Each State will
bring its generous contribution to the
great aggregate of the nations increase.
And, when the harvestS from the fields,
the cattle from the hills, and the ores
from the earth, shall have been weighed,
counted and valued, we will turn from
them all to crown with the highest hon
or the State that has most promoted edu-
cation, virtue, justice and patriotism.

REFORM OF ELECTION LAWS

1t is very gratifying to observe the
general interest now being manifested
in the reform of our election laws
Those who have been for years calling
attention to the pressing necessity of
throwing about the ballot box and about
the elector further safeguards, in order
that our elections might not only be free
and pure, but might clearly appear to be
so will welcome the accession of any
who did not so soon discover the need
of reform. The National Congress has
not as yet taken control of elections in
that case over which the Constitution
gives it jurisdiction, but has accepted
and adopted the election laws of the sew
eral States, provided penalties for their
violation and method of supervision.
Only the inefliciency of the State laws, or
an unfair or partisan administration of
them, could suggest a departure from
this policy. 1t was clearly, however, in
the contemplation of the trainers of the
Constitution, that such an exigency
might arise, and provision was wisely
made for it.
The freedom of the ballot is a condi-
tion of our national life, and no power
vested in Congress or in the Executive,
to secure or perpetuate it, should remain
unused upon occasion. +
Let us exalt patriotism and moderate
our party contentious. Let those who
would die for the flag on the field of
battle give better proof of their patri-
otism and higher glory to their coun-
try by promoting fraternity and justice.
A party success that is achieved by un-
fair methods, or by practices that par
take of revolution, is huTtful and evan
escent, even from a party standpoint
We should hold our differing opinions
in mutual respect and, having submit
ted them to the arbitrament of the bal
lot, should accept an adverse judgment
with the same respect that we should
have demanded of our opponents, if the
decision had been in our favor.
