DIR. ROYCE,
DEAR SIR Iwant to let the people know what
your medicine has done for me. l was a great
sufferer from catarrh and bronchitis /; there
was a roaring noise in my head all the
time and a constant cough, with droppings in

and so much patent medicine, was clear dis
couraged. A friend persuaded me to try your
Herbal Remedy. l done so with no faith what
ever, but the first bottle convinced me that it

Union Pacific Retrenchment.

A Kansas City special states that re-
trenchment is to be the order in the
Union Pacific freight department after
March l. Some radical changes will be
made. A large number of offices will
be consolidated. which will mean that
many men will be forced out of posi-
tons. Those who remain will have
their salaries Topped off. One Western
freight official of the road, who now
receives 5000 year, will have his sal
airy reduced to S. 500, and another who
draws 5000 will have to be content
with $1,000 after the date mentioned.
1t is believed that there will be few
designations, at least not for the pres
ent, inasmuch as railroad positions are
not to be picked up easily in these times
of retrenchment. Traffic Manager
Monroe will be made general freight
agent of the system and +. b. Whitney
will be one of his assistants.

An appeal to Arbitration.

Formal notice has been given by the
Atchison, Topeka &c Santa Fe railroad
of appeal to arbitration from the decis-
ion of the Western Passenger Associa-
ton sustaining Chairman Finley in his
ruling that the Atchison is liable for the
redemption of Lightweight mile tickets
issued by it and purchased by the Rock
Island people from brokers. The arbi-
traitor selected by the Atchison is Gem
eral Passenger Agent w. b. Shattuc, of
the Ohio & Mississippi, who recently
represented it in a similar case. Chair
man Finley's selection is o. G. Murray,
general traffic manager of the Big
Four, and these two are to choose the
third arbitrator.

A TROUBLED ORGANIZATION.
Stumbling Elocks in the Path of the New
Western Traffic Association.

Stumbling Blocks in the Path of the New
Western Traffic Association.
The new Western Traffic Association
appears to be having quite as much
trouble as its predecessor, and the
promise of its being able to accomplish
any thing by way of improving the
railroad situation is far from encourag-
ing. What now looks like a serious
difficulty is the result of dissatisfaction
regarding the division of Southwestern
traffic, and it is reported that the Santa
Fe company proposes to give immediate
notice of withdrawal from the assccia-
ton. Meantime the efforts to get the
Alton and other roads which have thus
far declined to sign the agreement to
enter the association have proved I'M
availing, while a number of small roads
within the territory of the association
obstinately remain on the outside ready
to give whatever annoyance or trouble
they may find opportunity for. 1t is
said that the number of roads which
have not signed the agreement is larger
than those that have, and as many of
the former are in rather poor financial
condition and doing a light business,
they can not be depended upon to hold
up rates if cutting them would increase
their traffic. Thus up to this time the
new agreement appears to have accom-
plished nothing toward lettering mat
ters, while it is already threatened with
disintegration.
The New York Sun is authority for
the statement that Mr.. Jay Gould and
Mr.. c. P. Huntington did not entirely
approve Of the present agreement,
which did not go far enough to suit
either of them, and that they accepted
it simply as stepin the right direction.
That journal also says that since the
association was formed neither Gould
nor Huntington has been idle, nor have
they abandoned hopes of ultimately
perfecting an alliance between the
railways west of the Mississippi which
will reduce the evils of competition to .
minimum. 4 scheme these managers
are said to now have under considera.
ton is the consolidation of the Missouri
Pacific, the Southern Pacific and the
Atchison systems, which have a mile
age of over twenty thousand miles. If
it be true that negotiations are in prog
ress between Mr.. Gould and Mr.. Hunt
ington the result will have great inter-
est for railroad circles If not for the
general public, which it is not to be exc
pected would be benefited whoever of
these two magnates should get the bet
ter of the bargain.-Omaha Bee.

THE PACIFIC ROAD.
A New Way of Calculating Net Earning.
Which Must BE Adopted.

A New Way of Calculating Net Earnings
Which Must BE Adopted.
A late Washington dispatch says: It
is learned from letter recently sent
by Mr.. II. A. Taylor, Commissioner Of
Railroads, to the Secretary of the In
terror that action is about to be taken
under the recent decision of the Su-
preme Court of the United States in the
case of the United States, appellant, VS..
the Central Pacific Railroad Company.
This decision reverses decision of the
Court of Claims, in which it was held
that in the process of aScertaining the
net earnings of the Union and Central
Pacific Railroad Companies, upon which
25 per cent. is required to be paid to
the Government under the Thurman
act, it was proper to deduct from the
gross earnings not only the actual
operating expenses, necessary repairs
and interest on the first mortgage
bonds, but also that there should be de-
Quoted all sums paid for improvements,
betterment and new equipment. The
Supreme Court reverses this decision
and holds that under the Thurman act
the net earnings must be ascertained
by deducting from the gross earnings
only the actual operating expenses,
necessary repairs made within the year
and interest on the first mortgage
bonds
Under this method of calculation the
net earnings of the Central Pacific Com
pany will be increased over s., 600, 600
and the net earnings of the Union Pa
cific Company nearly $1,000, 900 since
the passage of the Thurman act, % per
cent of which sums will now be re-
covered by the Government. The let
ter received by the Secretary from Com
missioner Taylor calls attention to the
decision of the court and suggests that
it will be necessary to make a restate-
ment of the accounts with these roads
and asks the Secretary for instructions
in the matter. Commissioner Taylor,
acting under orders from Secretary
Noble, has had a conference with the
Acting Secretary of the Treasury, with
view of getting full report of all
bills for services Of the Union and Gen.
trail Pacific Companies on file in the
Treasury Department and not acted
upon. 1t is intended to ascertain accu-
rately the state Of the accounts between
the Government and these roads and
then insist upon prompt payment Of
amounts fO-uG to be due.

ACTUAL VILLAISY.

Little need he said in an article like
this of actual villainy among railway
managers. That there has been a good
deal of if goes without saying, and its
day is not yet done
IL is indeed narrowing to think of the
men who have !allen into Jail for steal
ing the neccssaries Of life, and then to
think OF those who have perhaps suc-
ceeded in keeping out of Jail by the
very magnificence of their steHling
from American railways.
Brides for location of lines, slices out
of town sites, plumber cut of construc-
ton, steals out of purchases, robberies
out of bonds and stocks and entire con-
fscations of entire properties are some
of the skeletons in the railway closet of
the great West.

A bill is now before the Minne-

for disobedience of the act and defining

on freights will be reduced about SO per

Every ticket agent in the country is
watching to see how long the roads in the
territory of the trunk line and central
traffic associations, and in New En-
gland, will keep the agreement entered
into on February l not to pay commits
sions or allow their agents to receive
them. Apparently the agreement has
been observed SO far by the lines out of
New York, but it is believed that this
can not continue without the co-opera-
ton of the Western roads.
