Yesterday afternoon a stout man with a
wooden leg stumped into a beer saloon in Park

the plain, Old fashioned, broOm-handle style,

flannel wrappe around its lower end could be
called an adornment. The man drew ais char

An EXPIRE son of pain was Observable .upOa his

Railroad Farn;n1s

Comparatively few people know how
large the amount OF money is that is in
vested in railroads in this country, and how
great the shrinkage IN the market value Of
railroad securities was last year. Accord
ing to Poor's manual there are leo, 544 miles
/ Of completed railroads IN this country, but
there are portions Of roads complstsd which
are not In operation These completed roads
have q capitalization and debt as follows:
Capital stock "a. 495. 09o. 3ls; bonded bebt
81. s2s, 565. III; other forms Of Indebtedness
1851, All, 16o. Total stock and debt 90, ESQ.,
942, 249.
The estimated gross earnings Of the
i6O,544 miles of road were 81, 100, 900, 900,
and the net earnings were 1865, 900, 900.
The amount Of interest paid to bondholders
was s255, 423, Cos, and the amount of divi-
deuds paid to stockholders was 800, 1866, 727.
These amounts are considerably greater
than the amounts paid during the year
1882 But the fact must be taken into &C
count that Z ere were considerably more
miles Of railroad in ope. alton in 1890 than
il 1889. 1t appears, however, that railroad
investments in 1890 paid little better than
in 1889.
1t is worthy of notice. says the Financial
Chronicle, that the payments on account OF
interest continue to increase in far greater
ratio than those made on account of divi-
dends. In 1875 the total amount of interest
was s93, $3.50. In 1890 the interest pay
ments were 1886, ,695. In fourteen
years the increase was over $3.50, OOO, 900
The amount paid in dividends in 1876 was
S6S.039,66S. In 1890 the dividend payments
we're $l07. 500, 727, an increaie of less than
$40,0O0.000. The increase of the in
terest bearing securities over those which
depend upon dividend has caused the
question of giving bondholders voice in
the management of railroad properties to
be agitated.
The par value Of all the bonds listed on
the New York stock exchange is 90, 2i3, 795,,
DIG. Their average price, when bonds we're
highest, during 1890, was 1924, and their
average price during the panic in the latter
part Of the year was 90 per cent. The de-
cline, therefore, was 1914 per cent. of par.
The amount of the shrinkage was over
sos, 0OO, 600.

During the last session of congress. writes the

Wocott sock occasion while delivering speech
on the silver bill to hit Mr.. Harrison some pretty

just before he delivered his ami force bill speech
Mr. Wolcott was persuaded to call at the white

leagues, older in years and accordingly
with more discretion than he, con
WINGED him that it was only proper that he
should, as senator, wait upon the president

mansion at a seasonable hour one morning

Mr.. Harrison stood at the corner of his desk

back upon his square shoulders. if anticIpa-
ting an attack TIE senator grasped with more
or less cordiality the hand of the executive and
said:
Good morning, Mr.. President. 1 have come
to pay you my respects and to wish you the
compliments of the season."
'Yes?" said the President.
ut is q pleasant day, " said the senator.
"Ycs, responded the President.

marked the senator.

YES, l have known it to be so hot in
Washington some summers that the pavements

senator.

Cool morning" exclaimed the senator
GOOD morning." sail the President and then
Mr. Wolcett disappeared through the door
Mr.. Harrison brought his head back to a normal
position, released his hold upon the desk, and
with the air Of a conqueror resumed the char
which he had vacated upon receiving the sena-
tors card.

Now it is Mccarthy who refuses to be in
anywise restrained in his soaring patriot
ism or listen to any sort of suggestion that
premises dispensing with his services as a
leader. It's suddenly acquired promotion
that he likes nightly and clings to with all
of an ambitious mans fondness for a new
job. Although the others have all agreed
upon an aWicable compromise Of their diff
ferences he still remains obdurate. Such
conduct indicates an unalterable determine
ton to become a veritable Patriot if it
costs a whole country aud lifetime of high
living. All the rest Of his compatriotS have
been rounded up at Boulogne, but McCar-
thy stubboInly refuses to come into the
reservation. Does he wish to risk the polit-
ical fate OF our own obstinate Capt S. Bull!
His conduct denotes such purpose. Pos
sibly he is afraid of playing the inside role

Since the Republican party has always
claimed to be ''the party of great moral
IDEAS" cursory comparison of two repre-
sentative Pennsylvania leaders may prove
at least interesting il not instructive. While
democratic Ex-senator Wallace will come
out of his financial difficulties with over
100000 clear money and an untarnished
reputation after fully paying all of his debts
with interest under the depressing pressuret
which his unfortunate circumstances sub
ject him, Republican ex-senator Delama-
ter has q vast accumulation Of liabilities with
virtually no assets. and Is under a criminal
Indictment to answer a literally prinG
fdcie evident charge Of felony. Yet Mr..
Delamater is the man that the Pennsyl-
vania republican machine attempted to
foist upon the people for governor of the
great Keystone commonwealth. Such a
contrast should set suffIagans to steady
thinking.

In his last annual message to the North
Carolina legislature Gov. Fowle gives to the
protection of oysters especial consideration.
In it he recommends that yearly tax
based upon tonnage be required on each
vessel taking oysters. Oysters should be
cullei only on rocks or beds, and not over 10
per cent of them. he says, under two inches
long should be taken from each bed. There
should be an efficient oyster polics and in
spectors at each oyster center, he advises.
Owners of cauneries in business in the state
should be given equal rights with other
persons. No oysters should be taken from
May l to Oct. l, and ell vessels violating
the law should be pursued and captured.
This aggressive declaration calls for an
oyster navy for the Tar Heel state similar
to the fiercely warlike tubs of Virginia and
Maryland. Every man who IS caught poach-
ing should be bombarded with ripe hen fruit.
But such bellicose behavior is likely to dis
turb if it doesn't wholly destroy the long
established social amenities between the
Governor Of North Carolina and the Gov
ernor of South Carolina. That would be
truly sad.
