The New York Age, the organ Of the col
ored people, pats Fred. Douglass on the
back because in describing the mixed popu-
lation of Hayti he spoke of them as ''black
and colored people" Now" says the Age,
"let Editor Smith, of the Cleveland, O., Ga
zette and Editor Lowry. of the Gainesville,
Fla, Sentinel jump on Douglass as they
jumped on Fortune for using identical Ian
guage in speaking of the race in the south. -
1t is curious to see the editor of the Age de-
manding recognition for the colored brother
as an equal and then drawing the color line
himself This is one of the anomalies of col
ored journalism.

explanation is given of the way he got left
in the convention before which he was a

that he had everything his own way, but
through the error of the leader of his dele
cation the editor of the Sac la Sun, who
lost his head, the vote of the delegation on
the critical ballot was cast for Srubles
opponent, who was nominated. The editor,
of course, was much chagrined when he
discovered his mistake and its disastrous
consequences, and in the next issue of his
paper he says humbly, speaking of his mis-
take: ut was our blunder, and we feel it
the more keenly because we have attended

Railroad Growth of Fifty Years

The Boston Herald devotes six columns
to review of the progress in railroad
building in the United States for the last
fifty years, for the purpose of showing that
the interstate commerce law is inefficient
and drawback rather than a benefit to the
railroads. Aside from this issue the facts
and figures obtained from authoritative
| sources relating to the growth of the rail-
road system of this country in the last half
century are of general interest.
Fifty years ago the country possessed
practically none of the facilities that we
now enjoy for the quick transportation of
| freight and passengers The gains that
have been made in fifty years have been of
incalculable advantage IN the development
of the wonderful resources of this great
land. In 1880 there were twenty three
miles of railroad in operation in 1889 the
mileage had increased to 161, 1897.
The total amount of money invested in
railroads is nearly $40, OO0,OO0 900, and one
| point worthy of special notice in this
( connection is the relatively small amount of
earnings which are received upon the aggre-
| gate railroad investments. Thus in 1889
the total investment, including stock, funded
| debt and unfunded debt, was s., CSC, 942, 249
The gross earnings were 81 ,003, 736, 596
equal to l0.4 per cent. on the investment.
The net earnings were 1922, 2St, 1862 or So
per cent. on the investment. The amount
of interest paid was S2l9S77, $50, leaving
for dividends $Sl, 264,O29 As the stock
capital of the roads amounted to nearly
| 81 500, 600 900, it will be seen that the rate
of interest was very small one, being less
than ? per cent. per annum. But it is
probable that much of the railroad stock in
this country pays good interest, while a
great deal does not pay any at all.

High License In New York.

A telegram from Albany TO the New
York Tribune Of the Sth contains the fol-
lowing interesting notwithstanding be-
cause Bishop Doane here appears as the
champion Of high license:
The noble cOuutenance, gold eyeglasses
black silk apron and knee-breeches Of
Bishop William Crosswell Doane of the
Diocese Of Albany, attracted the attention
of visitors TO the Senate Chamber this
afternoon. The Bishop was not at the
Capitol on ecclesiastical business. but to
speak in support OF bill, and he spoke so
eloquently and so much TO the point that
every body who heard him was sorry when
he stopped. The measure IN question was
Mr. Hendricks bigh-license bill.
Bishop Doane, who is member of the
High-License Committee. appeared alone
in favor of the measure. Mr.. Pine, the Sc
cretary of the committee, having been de-
tanned in Now York. His argument dealt
less with the details of the bill. which he
declared should speak for itself. than with
the inconsistency and wrong medicines
of its opponents, and formed, in fact, a
mastery, though entirely dispassiopate
summing up Of the whole case against the
extreme Prohibitionists.

THE SOUTHERN SOCIETY ELECTION.
Something of the Spirited Contest for

TO the results of the election, were induced
to cast their ballots for CLUB men," those
members of the Southern Society who wish

house, won the sociotv's annual election on
Thursday night, together with divers sums
of money said 20 have been wagered on the
result. According TO the statement OF q
prominent member of the victorious
faction, the club men did not hesitate TO
use modern political methods diligently and
had SIX workers" tolling IN Wall street
and other places where members were 10
be found at their business. Nor did they,
when the voter had been beguled TO the
clubhouse, hesitate to accompany HIM 10
the polls and assist in scratching the names
on the ballots. The election OF the club
