THE RAILROAD AGREEMENT

N x2A1AE2OAD ASTkk
 The second act in the great railroad drama is on. The presidents are meeting with the accompaniment of booming stock market, and harmony is said to be so thick in the meeting room that you can't cut it. All the indicati ons are that this time the managers mean business Perhaps they have all the stock they want and intend to run their roads 80 that they can by and by sell it at a good price. But if they will only help investors out they will be forgiven.
 Some of the pessimists say that even if the railroad managers do make an agree msnt and try to live up to it, legislation in the western States will defeat their plans. The Farmers alliance does seem to be hostile to the roads, and there are many demagogues to cry out against them. But there are also signs that the railroads will not be treated with unreasoning hostil- ity. We agree with the New York Evening Post in thinking that "it is hardly correct to suppose that hostility to the Trust (as the agreement of railroads has been called) will culminate in severe laws against the carriers, if the advisory board is moderate and attempts only to secure for the roads rates not much if any higher than those now nominally in force and against which there is little or no com plaint. If this view is a true one, it fol lows that if the organizing roads cannot agree now among themselves to exact the published charges from all shippers alike, their failure will be due to other causes than Western State legislation"
 Time will tell Meanwhile all who are 'tstuck" with bonds and stocks which have suffered from the railroad wars in the West will hope.

 The silver craze may still rage in parts of the wild and woody West, and it ap- pears to be raging in the congress of the United States But it is cheering to ob- serve that there is hardly newspaper in the country of any influence which is not lifting up it's voice for sound financial principles. They seevery plainly that free coinage of silver would deal the country a blow from which it would not recover in many years. The silver legislation we have already had has done damage enough, and any more of the same kind, or a worse kind, is something to be feared and vigorously opposed. The silver men in Washington are "talking big" They as sert that the house as well as the senate is theirs, and that President Harrison is al so friendly to their schemes. The speculators in silver are sharply watching the perfor- nance, but the action of the silver certii- cates does not indicate la belief that the government will enter into a another sill yer pool.
 It is now believed that the financial bill will pass the senate in about this shape. The proposition to buy the twelve million ounces of silver will be stricken out, and in it's place will be Senator Stewards free coinage amendment. The section provid- ing for reduction to $1 ,00O of the amount required to be deposited by national banks to secure circulation will be retained, as will also the section which imposes 8 charge for converting gold coin into bars for shipment, the object of this charge being to retard the export of gold. The bond provision will be stricken out.
 It remains to be seen how far this bill will get. Probably not far enough to be- come law.

A notable thing in shipbuilding is the construction on the Saginaw river in Mich igan of a large steel steamship for ocean service. The Mackinaw is 290 feet in length and of 3,67s gross registered ton mage. She is built of steel throughout, is double bottomed, water ballast ship, with triple expansion engines and all the equip ments of a irst-class freight steamer. Upon completion at the yard of her build CTS she went under her own steam, making twelve knots an hour, to Buffalo, where she was docked and divided into two parts, as her full dimensions were too great to permit her to pass the locks between Lake Erie and tide water on the St. Lawrence. The rear section containing the engines steamed off by itself, stern foremost, and made the voyage to Montreal without as- sistance. The forward part was lowed by tugs. At Montreal the two sections went into dry dock and there were joined to- gether as at first. Then the Mackinaw boldly started down the St. Lawrence for Nova Scotia, where she took on cargo of coal for New York, z.

of wine. His ield-lore, though uncon- scious to himself, is marvellous. When spurred by extreme hunger all mountain moorland birds are doomed where he sets his snare. It is wild, strange, melan- choly land, he looks down upon, if he have the energy for looking. His wife and children around him are as voiceless as himself and his fiocks The very melo- dy of the sheep-bells becomes meaning less din. One carries away from his en- vironment and companionship with him only pathetic sense of his hopelessness and degradation. You can only remem- Der him as another animal in hairy hide, insensate to the trumpetings of eternal nature around him. The sheep browsing st his side are his equals in intelligence; his superiors in demonstrable forces and activities. The lone kestral wheeling above this Apulian shepherd has wider horizon of view.
 But there are other shepherds in Italy of whom sunnier picture cen be drawn. These are the shepherds and shepherdesses of the peasants lesser focks in Piedmont, in Lombardy, in radiant Tuscany, and even in pestiferous, death breeding Ma
