a RARuMEIER OE PROSPERITY.

An encouraging feature in the general
improvement of business from financial
point of view is the remarkable increase
of earnings of railroads, and the point of
interest in this is that the rates Of in
crease last year have been greater and
greater in each succeeding week. Now
the western roads in particular are rum
ming to the full limit of their equipment,
and this fact, added to the increased
earnings, even on the basis of enormously
watered stocks, is steadily stiffening the
stock market both at home and abroad.
Another cheerful feature lies in the great
orders already sent in to rolling mills for
iron for next years use. In New York
the other day it was officially stated that
orders for rails now placed among the
various mills in the country amount to
nearly soc, 1000 tons. The steel rail mills
are sure to be kept busy all next year on
the orders now on hand, and it is stated
on good authority that even the above
estimate is considerably below the actual
figures. 1t is most fattering indication
of GOOD tines near at hand.

and the state board OF equalization sup
piled the detect by estimating that the com
pany had nineteen or twenty cars valued
at $4,000. On the strength Of those re-
turns the cars were assessed for taxes.
The railroad company contended that
the cars should be exempt since they be-
longed to q nonresident company. The
state contended that the property was in
the state, part of the rolling stock OF the
road. Whether it belongs wholly to the
road or not, all rolling stock in their pos.
session should be reported.
The railroad at once applied for an in
junction to prevent the tax from being
imposed. By agreement the parties to
the suit laid the matter before the ST.
preme court to obtain a construction OF
the law in regard to the matter. 1t was
presented on an agreed statement of facts.
The points raised and argued were: care
the cars taxable? If so, should the Den
yer & Rio Grande or the Pullman com
pany shoulder it,"
The supreme court has just handed
down its opinion refusing to restrain the
state, and deciding that the Pullman COM
pany must pay taxes.

THE INDIAN AS A HUSTLER.

The American Indian may be slow in
catching on, but when he does, especially
in his dealings with Uncle Sam, he is a
hustler The figures go to show that he is
the great real estate dealer of the present
day. Within the last three years the In
dian has sold the government over 25,-
100000 acres of western lands, and has
received therefor considerably over $780,
100000. In general terms it may be ex-
planned that areas sufficient to make, in
the aggregate, five states like Massachu-
sets have, since the spring of year before
laat, been pared off from their reserva-
tons by the Indians for sale to the gov
eminent. This, it should be understood,
is surplus land, for which they have no
use, and what they retain makes about
four times as much as what they have
thus parted with. A bargain is now
pending for still another slice of Indian
domains, equal in area to a sixth of Mas
sachusetts with Rhode Island thrown in.
Should the bargain now going on for the
Cherokee strip be consumated, the
amount of land acquired within the last
three years would be increased to upward
of 3l,000,000 acres, and the aggregate
price raid would be upward of $30,O0O,-
900. There doesn't seem to be any flies
on the noble red man when it comes to
dealing in dirt.

Chicago in 1898. The congress is to con-

proportion of five to every $4,000 of the
Catholic population. The questions to
be considered are: The rights of labor
and the duties of capital; pauperism and
the remedy; public and private charity,
how to make these more effective and
beneficial; beneficial workingmen's soce-
ties for young men; life insurance and
pension funds for workingmen; trade
combinations and strikes; colonization;
the evils of drink and the importance OF

What are We Coming Too?

Both honest politics and common-sense
indicate the necessity of waving the
claims of Cleveland, the claims of Hill,

candidates, and concentrating every
energy on the election of new man

headed and Wide-awake west.
In saying this we reflect the opinion of
a growing majority OF the people.-New

A Democrats Admission.

The new Cleveland cry is raised by
those who want to dispose of silver !;
Cleveland was beaten before on the tariff
issue alone; he is no stronger now than
then, while Harrison is much stronger
than before. If the party allows the

Cleveland upon it as its nominee, it will
60 down in defeat.-U. s. Senator Pugh

A Fact.

The ugly fact is plainly visible that the
Democratic leaders of the present day tall
far below those of previous times in all
that makes public men worthy and ad-
mirable. They are not statesmen in the
true meaning of the term, but only pre-
tenders and experimenters, incapable of
taking broad and high views of things,
and untitled to accomplish really import
ant and advantageous results. Not one
of them has ever commended himself to
popular favor and honor by service of
tirst-class intelligence and utility. They
have simply acted the part of the ordinary
politicians, dealing specifically with all
issues, and striving mainly to secure re-
election.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Scoring Its Party,

Springer is garrulons and vindictive,
and sold out his constituents, his people
and the principles that he pretended to
advocate in order to vent his spleen on
the man whom the people of Illinois
preferred to him. Stewart, Durborrow
and McGann followed Springer in the
house of prostitution and became partners
Of his infamy. Holman, of Indiana,
watched the scales closely to discover
who was going to win, and he, too,
elected to mingle with soiled doves.
Busey, whom people who knew him not
in these parts we're taught to believe was
an honest man and possessed of principle,
became wanton under the influence of
Springer, and at the end of two years will
return to the obscurity from which he
emerged by accident.

Utilizing a Rat.
From the CornhiIl Magazine.


The post-ofiice was once saved considera-
BILE expense by the assistance of rat. As
most people know, the main telegraph wires
in London run through the subways in
which the gas pipes and sewers are placed.
The principal arteries are so large that it is
easy enough for men to work in them, but
the pipes through which the side wires
branch off are much smaller, and great care
has to be taken to preserve the connection
between the main and the lateral wires
Some years ago men were repairing one
of these latter and carelessly omitted to at
tach it to leading line by which it could
be drawn to its place when mended. The
blunder seemed likely to have serious con-
sequences, for it was thought that the whole
of the lateral pipe would have to be dug up
in order to get at the broken wire. But
one of the men came to the rescue with a
happy thought, suggesting that rat should
be procured, and, with fine piece of wire
attached to it, sent through the pipe. This
was done, but, to the dismay of the work
men, the new hand came to a stop after it
had gone few yards.
The inventor of this idea was not yet,
however, at the end of his resources, and by
his advice ferret was procured and started
on the dilatory rats track. There was a
moment of suspense before it was settled
whether the rat would show fight or run
away, but this was soon ended by the pay
ing ont of the wire, and in short time the
latest addition to the staff of the post-ofice
appeared at the other end of the pipe. 1t
was caught, the wire detached, and then
it was set free in recognition of the service
it had rendered. By means of the wir,
the telegraph line was secured, and a long
aud Iaborious piece of work saved,

A Central American Hotel.

The queerest hotel in the world is in
Guatemala City, Central America, said an
English tourist, who is stopping at the
Richelieu. "While there few weeks ago
| stopped day at the biggest hostelry and
met with more surprises than | have pre-
viousIy encountered in my trip around the
world. The house is built only one story
high on account of the earthquakes. 1t is
constructed in the form of hollow square,
and the interior court is made beautiful
with trees and flowers. The exterior pre-
sents the appearance of prison. After
pounding high knocker on the outer
door you are ushered into scene of ver-
dant beauty.
The hotel was formerly the private resi-
dence of one of the richest families of
Central America, but the owner was banish-
ed by President Barrios for an alleged
conspiracy against the Government. Around
the interior were balconies overlooking
garden filled with orange and peach trees,
palms and beautiful flowers The fare was
good, and we had our choice of pancakes
and honey, fish, poultry, fruits and coffee
and chocolate Yon can't eat there if you
are in hurry though. Only one thing is
served at a time, and you cant get cup
of coffee until everything else has been
served. The hotel furnishes candles, but
matches are extra.
Then there is a, system of calling the
guests which entities the hotel TO the name
of the Queerest one on the earth. You
are called by flies. The flies down there
are nearly as large as an English sparrow,
and they sting like hornet, though the
bite is not poisonous. They never kill
them, but brush them away. The halls of
the hotel are filed with these pests in the
morning. Over each door is transOm
Now, if you leave call for o'clock your
transom is opened at and the flies 60. in
Do they wake you? | should say so.
The sensation is like that of being sand
bagged. In FIVE minutes from the time
your transom is opened you are down
stairs looking for the proprietor. 1t
doesn't do any good 10 kick, though, for
that system has been the custom for years.
