The Postal Savings Bank state
ment shows an interest balance in
favor Of the taxpayers of the COIN
Try. Although the interest on both
sides comes from the taxpayers, yet
the balance is the excess of interest
paid on money employed for public
services, over that paid the com
paratively few depositors in the
bank. The real profit TO the coun-
try consists in the value of the pub
lie works effected by the utilization
of the peoples savings as a public
loan. If it had not been for the
stand taken by the BULLETIN in the
first half OF the year, there is no
doubt that the balance would appear
IN the other side. This paper pro-
iested against the large payments Of
interest that had to be made on idle
money. The Government accepted
our views, reduced the rate of in.
terest to depositors, and, we believe,
expedited works for which the de-
posts were by law available.

THE RAILROADS.
What the Denver People Have Done
and What They May Do.
A Great North and South Line Projected from
Spokane Falls to FL PasO-Cheekmated by
Jay Gould-General and Personal.

Several months have now elapsed since
the Fort Worth and Denver and the Tn
ion Pacific roads were consolidated under
practically one management. Since the
consolidation but little actual work other
than extending the road from Hodge into
Fort Worth and the beginning of work on
the Seymour extension, has been done;
but the foundation has been laid for
work that will make things hum in Texas
railroad circles. Arrangements hav a
been completed for the building OF rail-
road shops at Hodge, suburb of this
city; considerable property has been pur-
chas ed IN the city proper, near where the
old shops now stand, and it is said that
on this property an elegant passen ger
and az extensive freight depot will be
bnilt.
In addition to this there has been in
corporsted belt line railroad company
with President Jones of the Fort Worth
and Denver and Gen. George NJ. Dodge
among the incoTpOrators. This, Of
course, is a Fort Worth and Denver
Union Pacific project, inaugurated in or
der that the system may have ample ter
minal facilities at this point. 1t is not
known when work on this belt line Will
begin, probably not before the bridge
over the Trinity is up and work
on the shops at Hodge begun.
The Fort Worth and Denver owns
considerable property at aud near Hodge,
ana il is regarded as q certainty that
when work on this belt line is COM
menced 1t will be at Hodge, from which
point the line will be run. More than
this has not been learned, as all the
parties mentioned as incorporators, ex-
Cept President Jones and Gen. Dodge,
AhaYe pTOfesSed to know nothing Of the
intentions of the new company except
that a belt road is to be built and that it
will be completed in three months after
work is once begun on it.
OF course the Panhandle system Will /
not stop at this. An outlet to the sea is
wanted and will be had. For the time /
beng traffic arrangements with some |
other line Will suffice, no doubt, but it is /
not reasonable to suppose that railroad /
system with a mileage of over 5000 miles |
will be content to run within 800 miles of |
an ocean outlet and then stop. The Fort I
Worth and Denver is headed for the gulf |
of Mexico, and to the gulf of Mexico il (

The Texas and Pacific Meeting.

One week from to-day the annual
meeting of the Texas and Pacific stock
holders viii be held at Dallas, and
whether Mr.. Gould will be at the meet
ing or not, 1t is expected and undoubted-
" will be, one of the most important
meetings of the stockholders held for
years. Mr.. Gould has just completed q
tour over the line, and it was character
lied by careful inspection of the conn
pauy's property and long hats at
different points in Texas, and a
soiourn of week at Ell Paso. There
can be no question that the trip means
something more than the usual inspec-
ton of MIR Gould's railroad properties
in Texas-and it need surprise no one if,
before the summer closes, great work is
going on on the line west of Fort Worth.
The year 1890 bids fair to be memora-
BILE one in the railroad world, and in all
the operations it can be safely assumed
that Mr.. Gould is going to play his hand
for all it is worth.

Railroad Line.

a Great scheme for Western international
Railroad Line.
new railroad scheme that will make
Spokane Fails the northern terminus of
one OF the most gigantic systems of rail-
roads this country has yet seen is being
engineered by Paul f. Main, we'll
known railroad man. New York,
Philadelphia and Chicago capitalists are
interested in the railroad. The propnsi-
tion is TO tap all of the six transconti-
mental roads, the Canadian Pacific,
Northern Pacific, Union Pacific, Central
Pacific, Atlantic and Pacific and South
ern Pacific. 1t is a perfectly feasible
and eminently practicable scheme.
The idea is to begin ct Spokane Falls,
run south, skirting Lake Couer d'Alene
on through the Genessee country OF
Idaho, and in q general southerly direc-
ton pass through Idaho, striking Salt
Lake City, connecting with the Denver
and Rio Grande, while it runs south
through Utah leaving that road at Green
river, and passing on down into Arizona,
crossing the Atlantic and Pacific and
striking FL Paso at the Mexican line, TO
connect with the Mexican Central, and
go on TO the City of Mexico.

A Good OutlooE.

Mr.. Il. Y. Newlin, general freight
and passenger agent of the Fort Worth
and Denver states that the business of
the line is eminent1y satisfactory, and
that it Is increasing very gratifyingly.
The passenger traffic especially is rapidly
picking up and will continue to do so as
long lis the fame of the Panhandle coun-
try continues to be heard OF by those
wanting cheap homes in the most fertile
section of the United States. Immi-
grants are constantly streaming in and
the Denver is taking good care of all who
come.
Speaking of the cattle movement this
spring, Mr.. NewIin says that he expects
it to be very heavy, but not so heavy
that the Denver will not be able to fur
nish all the cars needed to transport all
the cattle offered his line.

Service Examinations.

For the Gazette.
To one who has been interested in the
matter of a reform of the civil service
since the movement therefor became an
active one, the manner and persistenoy
with which the same pleas in abatemen
pop up year after year are ludicrous in
the extreme. 1t is like the clown in the
play: 'Here we are again!' and q
hearty laugh all around.
No one Of these pleas is more familiar
or shows tougher hide than that of the
scholastic character Of the examina-
tons. Here 1t is in ifs latest form ::
"My boy can pass the civil service eX-
animation because he is just out of
school, but can It. l could at his age,
when l had just left school, but now
when l have more sense l am disquali-
fed Now this was doubtless said in
good faith, but is simply not true, in the
sense that any such general results fol-
lows from the civil service examlna-
ton. It has been disproved over AID
over again. So far as / am aware, not
a report has been made by any civil SER
vice commission which has not shown it
to be false, and yet 1t has more vitality
than 40, coo cats.
The last report of the Massachusetts
civil service commission shows that the
average age of those who passed the ex-
aminations for the commonwealth SER
vice was 30 IS years-for the Boston SER
vice SO. 68 years. The last report of the
United States civil service commission,
which is also before me, shows that the av-
erage age of those who passed the exam
nations in the several grades varied from
twenty-three for postal messengers, the
lowest, to forty-one for special printers
in the acknowledgement g office the high
est-the majority Of positions giving an
average age of more than thirty
years. So it has been uniformly.
If these results indicate that the
boys fresh from school meet with the
greatest success, then We have been
strangely misinformed as to the age at
which the American boy leaves hissafhda
mater. The truth is that this sQb5ection
to the examination, like that alleging
the use of all sorts of abstruseSor ridic-
ulous questions, is manufactured OUT
of the whole cloth by tffeses M no:

ten by those who believe it to be true.
They do not take the trouble to find out
the facts, but simply content themselves
with passing on the misstatement, to the
serious injury of the service, and of those
who are thereby deferred from entering
into competition for clerical positions.
Of course, it is not claimed that per-
lection has been reached in the choice of
questions, or in the weights given to the
different branches of the examination
1t is only now commended, and the facts
prove the contention to be just, that the
examinations, such as they are, are al
