heoo Sohul'ion OF things exist now that
always existed since the bonds, created
III AID OF their con struction, were issued
Wz.; That amounts annually re-
ceivod from the roads fail largely
below the amount of interest an
hualiy accruing from subsidy roads,
Inc debts therefore, due the govern
inent from these roads, instead of being
reduced as was the evident expect alton
OF congress that they would be, are
rapidly increasing year by year. This
increase, however, is not due to any
failure of the railroad companies to
comply with the provisions of existing
laws. Tho fault rests in the laws them
selves. The por cont, of net earnings re-.
quired by law to be paid to discharge
government obligations is not great
enough to meet the interest which
annually acorues upon the bonds issued
to aid in the construction of the roads.
The com missioner adheres to the opin-
ion that 1t will be necessary to extend
the time in which the railroads may
meet their obligations to the govern
ment He suggests that In no event
should the government he the loser by
granting an extension. The total net
liability of the Union Pacific road to the
government on June 30. 1890, was S5l, -

portion OF the road amounted to Sl7,-

BONDED RAILROADS.
Their Debt to the Government stili
Increasing.


WASHINGTON. Nov. .G.-The report OF the
commissioners on railroads contains full
information in regard to the condition of
several railroad companies coming under
the Jurisdiction of his office for the fiscal
year ended June 80, $780, As to improve
ments on the bonded roads, the commits
sioner says: ~ am able to report that
many improvements have recently been
and arc continually being made. These
improvements, where they are made on
bonded railroads. are specially valuable
to the government, as they not only in
crease the earning capacity Of the roads,
but add largely to the value OF the prop
orty."
The amount received from bonded
railroads this year was slightly below
the amount received for the preceding
year. This, the commissioner says, is
not owing to a decrease in business, but
TO the fact OF unusual expenditures by
The Union Pacific company in the pur-
chase of now rolling stock. As to pres
ent financial relations between the
bonded roads and the government, the
commissioner says the same unfortu-

DUBLIN, Nov. 6.-In conversation with
Balfour Mr.. Mcneil, national member OF
parliament, told the chief secretary that
all efforts in regard to Ireland would
prove fruitless unless coercion wero
abolished. Balfour replied that the en-
thusiastic reception every whero accorded
him fully justified his Irish policy.
While Baifour was addressing a depu-
tation to-day, Mcneil began to address
the people on the terrible barbarities of
Balfours rule. Balfour expressed sur
prise at the infusion OF such matters on
this occasion. He appealed to all to say
whether the government projects were
not calculated to benefit ireland more
than all the speeches made.

Tho recent pastoral letter issued by the
Irish bishops condemning boycotting

pliance with peremptory orders from the
pope himself, who desired proof of the
absolute submission of the Irish episco-
pate, is a practical contradiction of the

Death OF Briber whelan Ties Up

CHICAGO, Nov. IA short time ago ex.
Alderman Whelan was shot and killed
by a man named Hathaway. 1t was o
matter of common notoriety in political
circles that Wheelan was 20 between,
or clearing ghouse for bribe-money pass
ing between corporations wanting fran
chises and purchasable members of the
city council. An afternoon paper says
that shortly before his death, Whelan
deposited $50, 600 in a bank in this city
as step toward the transfer from a GER
tain elevated railroad in need of fran
chise and certain aldermen desirous Of
realizing the financial value of their
votes in granting it. The paper finds
out that Whelan's death leaves this
tidy sum in "a peculiar situation.
Though in Whelan's name, IL does not
belong to his estate, the railroad peo-
pie dare not take action to recover it,
and the aldermen have no claim on it,
and dare not enforce il il they had.

made. Assuming bat the chairman of
the County Republican and Democratic
Committees in any county have made
their nominate rs, the appointment of
| these nominees as precinct officers ex-
hausts the power OF the County Board, I'M
less a vacancy occurs in any precinct Of
flee. in which case the County Bard is
directed to fill the same. II the chairman
of any County Committee should fail to
nominate two off GER for each precinct in
his county, the County Board, after wait
ing thirty days for such nominations, must
appoint precinct officers of its " selec-
ton, making such appointment within
forty days from the date of its organiza-
ton.
Il the nomination and appointment of
precinct officers there are these restrictions:
First-Not more than two members ofa
Precinct Board may belong 10 the same
political party.
Second-W hen the Chairman of a County
Committee dominates, he must do So from
the ranks oil his own party Where the
County Board is called upon 10 select, the
precinct officers may be taken from any
party, provided that not more Than two
shall be of The same political faith.
Third Precinct officers must not hold
any other public office and must be legal
voters and residents within the election
district for which they were appointed.
There is one pointto which the attention of
County Boards may be specially directed.
Under the old election law, if, at the OPEN
ing of the polls, a Judge or Inspector OF
election was absent or disqualified or re-
fused to serve, the voters present could fill
the vacancy. The present law does not
provide for this emergencN-or at least, not
properly. II a vacancy occurs on election
day in a precinct board it must be filled by
the County Board.
The act does not provide for the taking of
an official oath by the members of County
Boards, but it does provide that they shall
serve without compensation.
1t does not provide for the expenses which
the County B boards must make in notifying
their appointees, for stationery, etc, but
these matters can be arranged with the
chosen freeholders Of the counties.
The Board of Registry aud election for
precincts being appointed. they are directed
10 select, fol each precinct, two registry or
poll clerks not of the same political party
who are forbidden to hold any other public
office. The members of the precinct boards
and their clerks, must. before entering
npon their duties, take an official oath and
cause the same to be filed in the Office of
the County Clerk. This done, the precinct
boards are ready for organization and
official duty.

At the afternoon session of the state
Central Prohibition Committee in Trenton
on Tuesday the committee discussed the
Ballot Reform law and concluded that it
is a grand scheme of the two leading politi-
cal parties to freeze ont the Prohibition
party. They claim that it is unconstitu-
tional, because according to the constitu-
tion every citizen has a right to vote for an
cleo ton officer Of his choice and according
to this law it is Necessary that 200 votes be
received to nominate a candidate, therefore
they claim they do not have an equal fisht.
After a lengthy discussion a committee OF
seven Was appointed to consider the Law
and report, with recommendation. as to
the line Of action to be followed at a future

without it. Among cricketers total alb
staining eleyens were the best, and it was
generally noticed that the eleven which
vent in before luncheon won the match.
All delicacy of sight, thought, touch and
action was destroyed by alcohol. As to
its driving away pain or care, it would
certainly paralyze a certain set of nerves
and feelings and enable people to put on
one side uncomfortable thoughts and go
on as if such things did not exist. But it
was only ~postponing them till the morrow,
and it would be far better for humanity
to bear them patiently. By taking al
cohol a person resisted the natural clean
ing process and made the nerves a depot
for material which would lay the founda-
ton for organic disease and certainly
shorter life. Clubs of ], 200 members in
London averaged seven days sickness per
member per annum, in Glasgow eight, in
Dublin nine; but societies where only tenn
peranee members were admitted averaged
less than four, and were it not for acct
dents it would be less than two. Doctors
told their patients it did then good be-
cause they liked it ~(laughter), and young
doctors could not afford to be total OBJ
stainers, or they would lose their practice.
The majority of ~lunatics were those who
had inherited disease, and not those who
were suffering from their own ndiseretions
Ninety per cent. of our c~onvicts were in
prison through drink. The most I'M
healthy class of all were publicans' SER
wants, and close TO these stood the pub
licans, but the healthiest of all were con-
yicts who were kept without alcohol. AL
cohol undoubtedly was OF service some
times, but this did not often occur, and if
it was taken when the heart did not want
relieving it would do no good whatever.

ture, which had been made very clear by
