A MISTAKEN POLICY.

The remarkably good showing made by
the statement of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
which shows net earnings on the Eastern
lines of S19, ,625, 900 for the first eleven
months of the year, an increase of SS72, 600,
naturally calls forth a deserved tribute OF
praise from the financial journals of New
York. One rather questionable Endorsement
of the Pennsylyania's policy takes the fol-
lowing form:
The Pennsylvania Railroad is one of the few
companies which spends most literally when it
earns most. Its charges against operating ex-
penses are liberal, and when the earnings fall
off expenses are very promptly cut down. For
that reason a reduction in the operating ex-
penses in proportion to gross earnings may be
taken as a red flag of danger.
So far as the splendid management of the
Pennsylvania Railroad is concerned-which,
while we may often have to criticlse the steps
which that corporation may take to prevent
competition; The DISPATCH is always
ready to recognize-the above remark will
apply only to such diminutions of expenses
as may be justified by decrease of traffic.
We may take it for granted that the Penn
sylvania Railroad will maintain all such
expenditures as are necessary to main
tain its roa6-bed and rolling stock
in irst-class condition. But as the above
extract, with its context in the Journal from

Pugs That Labor.

Pug dogs have always been more or less Of a
riddle to the masculine half of humanity.
Their faces are stamped with distress. They
are as lazy as they are fat. They seem to have
natural distrust of man. They always cap
ture the girls, and the homlier the pug the
more affecrionate the girl. Every "lodge'
husband has reason to detest them. Small
boys love to pelt them. Cats can whip
them. They are the spoiled, feasted pets
of many households, beribboned and Ca
ressed by our pretty maidens. and are
the nearest approach we have to
the etfete gentleman leisure class our
American civilization can boast. William Gill
lette is evidently utilitarian, and means to
turn some of them to practical account on the
stage. he brings two of them into his farce
"All the Comforts of Home" They are types
OF their class, lazy, ugly and family Joys. The
stage manager says they are more deliberate
than a Government official. They won't be
hurried, although their parts are purely think
ing and picturesque affairs. 10 quicken the
scene In which they appear, they are usually
dragged by a short strap across the stage and
up dozen or more stairs. This procedure has
given their crooked legs as many Jumps as
adorn the extremities of a travelling drome-
Diary. 1t makes no difference, however, to the
self-sutficient; pugs they cannot will not
hurry, and the masculine attendant in the play,
as in the household, has to dance upon the
pleasure OF the wayward pug.
