Increased Railroad Earnings.

Notwithstanding many miles Of new rail-
road were built last year, and comp etition
in railway circles was thereby increased
| and patronage distributed to an extent, the
net earnings were considerably more than
| for the previous year. Official statements.
covering a period from Jan. l to Dec. l
| 1889, SHOW that the total gross earnings of
| the various railroads of the country were
! $4S5, l76,410, against $45i, ri $40 for the
corresponding period of 1883, a increase Of
! $3l, 44S, S34, and that the net earnings from
Jan. l to Dec. l, 1899, were $l70,473. 244
against $146, 165, 095 for the first eleven
months of 1888, gain of S23, los, 149. 1t
should be menti lned that the Two roads in
| Mexico operated by American capital are
included in these statements. The roads
claSsed as eastern, viz, the Baltimore and
| Potomac, the Camden Atlantic, the New
York, Ontario and Western, the Northern.
| Central, Rome, Watertown and Oydeas-
burg, and the Staten Island and West
Jersey, show total decrease of s., 359. 7I2
in net earnings, although the gross earn
ings were increased 1921, 07S. The only
ones showing decrease in gross earnings
are what are known as the coal roads. viz.
the Buffalo, Rochester and Pitts )urg, the
Central If New Jersey, the Philadelphia
and Reading, the Summit Branch, the
Lykens Valley, and tho Western New York
and Pennsylvania, the total decrease being

The roads classed as southern are the

and the Shenandoah valley, and it is graft
flying to know that they made a better
showing in both gross and net earnings than
those of any other part of the country, the
total increase in gross earnings bel & So

Tdken in connection with the fact that
more miles of new road we're completed in
the south last year than in any other part
of the country, tlis makes it apparent that
the south's railroad development was legiti-
mate, and that her business is increasing in
almost every direction.

The Proposed National Park

The establishment Of a national park,
embracing the Chickauiauga battlefield,
where reunions Of federal and confederate
veterans may be held, now rests wi h con-
gress. Such park has been in contempla-
ton by prominent ex-menbers Of both
armies for some time, aad last summer q
society was formed to carry out their views
with regard to the matter. 1t was organ
lied at Chattanooga amid great enthusiasm
and the most friendly OF feeling, in which
such men as Gen. Rosecrans and Gen. G r.
don, representing respectively the union
and confederate veterans, shared.
Gen. Grosyenor, of Ohio, has introduce /
bill to establish the park. which
is intended to bear the name of the Chatta-
nooga and Chicamauga National PARK.
The bill outlines the boundaries of the
park, giving it an area of 1000 acres. and
provides tlat title to it shall be obtained
by condemnation and purchase by the
Unite1 States, and that it shall be managed
by three commissioners under the Secre-
tary of War, these commissioners to escer-
tain and mark all battle lines. present
owners of property witlin the limits of the
PARK being allowed to remain there upon
agreement to preserve the buildings which
were standing at the time of the battle.
Congress is asked to appropriate a sum
sufficient TO carry the proposed act into
effect.
There is a good deal of gush at reunions
such as those proposed, and sometimes par
Elephants, after shaking hands across the
bloody chasm, so to speak, go home, and,
in the excitement of a political campaign,
say things which are calculated to revive
rather than smother sectional feeling. Still.
it will hardly be denied that these reunions
are productive of good, and that there can
not be too many Of them. Congress would
do we'll to encourage them by passing the
bill IN question.

Royalty may be very fine thing, but
it comes hig5. There is a little book pub
llshed every year in London, and known
as Whitake.'s Almanac, which gives some
interesting information concerning the
cost of royalty in England. C1ulting the
pound sterling as IS, the sums granted to
the royal family last year were as follows:
the queens salary. 81. 925. coo; revenues of
the queen as Duchess of Lancaster, $3.50
600; allowance 70 the Prince of Wales,
100000; revenues of the prince as Duke of
Cornwall, $4,000; allowance to the Prin-
cess of Wales. $4,000: allowance to the
children Of the Prince Of Wales, $50, 900:
allowance to other children of the queen,
$4,000; royal pensions not enumerated,
Sl27, 200, making total of 1882 .20) for
the royal family proper. The collateral
branches have TO be provided for, and thus
1t is that numerous petty princes have large
salaries and nothing to do.
Besides all of these her majesty has what
is called the royal household, composed in
part Of dukes. earls aud marquises, who get
big pay for going ON parade occasionally.
ara the salaries of some Of whom are much
less than tueir perquisites. 1t should be men
toned that if by chance any work should
fall TO these people, it is done by proxy. and
paid for by the government For instance,
the master OF the queens horse gets SI2. 500
year. he has nice, easy job, for he does
nothing, and he has numerous assistants
he has a crown equerry at $4,000 a year.
seven equerries in ordinary who get from
$500 TO $1,000 each, and extra eduerries
and equerries honorary. Besides, he is pro-
vlded with superintendent of the royal
news, clerk, storekeeper. two veterinary
surgeons, a state coachman and an ac-
countant. 1t appears that few grooms
do the real work The grand almoner gets
$4,000 year for distributing coronation
medals on the day a sovereign is crowned.
and he is assisted" by lord high almoner.
The master Of the buck hounds gets 81. 500
year, but there hasn't been a royal stag
hunt for several centuries. Likewise a
royal hawk is a thing of the dim past. but
the grand falconer gets 81, SO a year, and
he probably grumbles because he has no
assistant. 1t is out of tho question to men
ton one-half Of these sinecures, to say
nothing OF those outside Of the roval
household. There are twenty-five dukes.
twenty marquises, lis earls, twenty-seven
viscounts and 2S2 barons who mus. be sup
ported. Yes, royalty is very fine thing
for those who hold the sinecures, but it is
bad for the middle classes, who pay the
taxes. 1t is not surprising that republics
are gaining in popularity.

When a man like Thomas c. Platt can
order the New York legislature. of which
he is not member, to delay bill to help
the movement for a worlds fair in New
York in 1892, and be obsyed; when be can
issue an edict that republican members of
congress must not vote for far in 1892. and
when many of those congressman regard the
edict es binding: when he can tell repub-
licans in New York to stop working for the
fair, and when his command is obeyed
when such things can happen, matters
have surely come to a pretty pass. Tae
first rumors that Platt would try to secure
postponement of the fair were circulated
a month or two ago, and they were re-
garded as being Of the widest sort. Platt
denied them, but nevertheless they were
true, and the CHI lnces are that with re-
publican legislature and a republican con-
gress to do his bidding, he will prevent the
people from celebrating the 4O0th ami.
versary of the discovery of America.

The Alger presidential boom is about to
be let loose, Three notorious republican
schemers, Messrs- Platt, E.kins and Kerens,
have been engaged for some time in inHat-
ing it, and they expect to see it rise like a
rocket. Gen. Alger has once or twice said
that he would not be candidate, but no.
body believed him. That he win be has
been evident for some time. His three lieu
tenants are very shrewd, and they will be
assisted by Mrs. Logan, who will see that
the gra I'd army influence is given to Alger,
and by the generals barrel, which viii be
made to appeal to colored delegates from
the south. If Gen. Harrison has any inten-
ton Of being a candidate again, he had
better kill off the Alger boom as soon as it
is turned loose
