ALONG THE RAIL.
That Shortage of Cars on the
Colorado Midland.
Increasing Business in Funerals-surveyors
Heavy Freight Charges.

A good deal has been written of late con-
corning the failure of the Colorado Midland
road to furnish proper and sufficient trans
portation facilities for shippers in the vicinity
OF Aspen, Colo, and at other points along
the line of the new road. The silver ore
shipments from Aspen are very heavy, and
the necessary supplies for miners employed
there form quite an item in traffic, and the
failure Of the Colorado Midland to furnish
cars for the transportation of supplies. etc..
has induced much unfavorable comment.
General Manager Collbran of the road ex-
plains, in a recent letter, how the scarcity of
cars occurred. He takes occasion to bring
to account the Union Pacific tor its methods
in holding out the ears of other lines. to
which fact he ascrbes the present difficulty.
In his letter he says:
One d. fficulty in obtaining a sufficient supply
OF empty cars 10 properly meet all demands

with The trouble that came up In Denver be-
tween The switchmen employed at that point aud

SILK CULTURE.

The Women's Silk Culture association
of the United States, which was incor-
porated in May, 1880, and which has its
headquarters in Philadelphia, has issued
its tenth annual report.
The Manchester Guardian, which has
given the subject considerable attention,
says that the result of ten years work by
this association, while not of striking
nature, when the size of the country and
the immense consumption of raw silk
are considered, are, nevertheless, in
many respects, encouraging. Something
has certainly been accomplished towards
better understanding of the principles
of silk culture, and some advance has
been made towards the introduction Of
the art of rearing the worms and reeling
the cocoons. The tangible results of the
efforts of the Philadelphia ladies in the
interest of silk culture may be briefly
summarized as follows:
The association has bought, raised and
reeled -, 900 pounds Of cocoons; it has
had made some 2, 900 yards of silk dress
SOOhos hclo oOlb SOlllC 1SCOV p'OhA4NAo VI
reSled or raw silk; has made some forty
United States flags, and dozens of silk
handkerchiefs, fringes, ribbons, brocade
velvets, trimmings, sewing silk, etc. 1t
presented seventeen flags to the Central
and South American countries through
their delegates to the Pan-American con-
gress, and it presented to Mrs. James A.
Garfield "the first silk dress made from
silk raised in this country" 1t has also
made exhibits of work, reels, and reelers
at many of the more prominent agri-
cultural fairs held in different sections of
the country.
The association takes a sound position
in urging that silk culture should not be
relied upon as a distinct and separate
industry, but should be made auxiliary
to other occupations connected with farm
life, and through the medium Of its pub
locations is undoubtedly doing much to-
ward the eventual popularization of an
industry which ought soon to
yield the farmers of America a large |
aggregate income.

We give place in this issue to quite a
lengthy discussion of the "Option" or
dealing in future" question that is pro-
posed to be covered and its evils corrected
by the Butterworth bill before congress.
The subject is one of the greatest import
ance and therefore merits the most pro-
found consideration of the people, and
especially of their representatives in con-
gress. The bill has not been acted on in
either house, and an impression had
grown up among the people that it would
not be this session, but information is re-
eeived from Washington to the effect
that the bill will be acted upon before
congress adjourns. 1t is not a perfect
measure perhaps, but it approximates
the public demand, and the single cir
cumstance that the only opposition to
it so far, comes from the class whose oc-
cupation will be gone when it becomes
law, is a strong argument in favor of
its prompt enactment. If upon practi-
cal test it is found imperfect or unsatis-
factory in its operations it can be amend
ed at any time.

In the August number of the Forum
Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire,
wrote an argument in favor of law for
the national control of elections, direct
ing his attention chiefly to political af
fairs in the southern states. In the Sep
TENDER number of the Forum Senator
Morgan, of Alabama, replies to Senator
Chandler. After pointing out what he
conceives to be the revolutionary charac-
ter of the proposed law, Senator Morgan
presents great mass of facts and opin-
ions to prove that the federal control of
elections is not desired in any section of
the country by the masses of the people.
He defends the merchants and manu-
facturers of the border states against the
accusation of Senator Chandler that
their trade relations with the south have
made them cowardlY.

Only a few years ago Great Britain
held position 50 far in advance of all
other countries in the production of iron
that it seemed hardly probable that any
of them could overtake her. 1t now
seems likely that this is the heaviest iron
producing country in the world. There
is difference in our favor for the fiscal
year, as compared with Great Britain's
output for the calendar year, of about
three hundred and fifty thousand tons.
Even if our output should not come quite
up to that of the United Kingdom, the
close correspondence between the pro-
duction of the two nations is most re-
markable.

down from SLIP to IS cents per hundred
