are far greater than those of the Western
roads. On the Central, the gross earnings
are nearly $4,000 per mile, and the net
earnings but S6250 per mile.
Strange to say. the net profit realized from
these vast earnings only appears to have
been 40S per cent on the stock, out of which
dividends amounting to per cent were
paid. The smallness of the return is due,
however, to the heavy interest charges and
rents paid by the company, which amount
to nearly $4,000, 600. or the interest at AZ
per cent on S2O0.e0O,000; and partly to the
enormous volume of the stock as watered
by Commodore Vanderbilt.
II no stock dividends had been issued, the
present earnings would have enabled the
company to maintain the s per cent divi-
dends which it paid under the administra-
ton of Henry Keep, or even to have in
creased them to 10 per cent But Commo-
dore Vanderbilt was keenly alive to the
clamor which such generous dividends
woald have reused among shippers. and he
doubled the volume of his dvisor. so as to
make it appear that the profits of his rail-
road were one-half of what they really

A CURE roK DRUNKENNESS.

a DR.. Kelley, living at Dwight, H., pro-
fesses to have discovered a remedy for dip
somania. and advertises his willingness to
cure persons afflicted with that disease at
an institution lie has established for the
purpose. He does not take the public into
the secret Of mis- cure. He merely publishes
certificates from well-known persons who
aver that. having been drunRards, they
have been converted TO sobrety by the
treatment they underwent in DR.. Kelley 5
hospital. In orler to test scientific opinion
on the subject, the North american ReUiel1
sought the opinion of four eminent practi-
TONERS on the efficacy of the Kelley method
and they, being DOCTORS naturally differed,
and lett the question where it was.
DR.. Keeley'S treatment consists Of hypo-
dermie injections Of a mixture Of which BIZ
chloride of gold IS a leading ingredient. 1t
seems that he begins by giving his patients
all the whisky they can drink; then, when
safety proyOkes disgust, he proceeds to
puncture their skin and inject his gold.
The result of this treatment, in the language
Of the Rev. John F. Mines, who became an
inmate of his hospital, is ''tO lift the patient
out Of the blackuess Of an African jungle
into the quiet sunshine of Central Park-tO

Ia less fguratiye language it destroys the
appetite for liquor, and cures the most ter
Tible disease OF the day.
The trouble with DR.. Kelley is that he
violates the fundamental principle Of medi-
cal science which requires the discoverer Of
a new remedy to make it public for the
benefit OF mankind. The doctor keeps his
secret to himself, and thus exposes himself
to the suspicion that he Is bert on gain and
not oil the advancement of science. The
statements which he makes regarding the
efficacy OF his method are Endorsed by GER
tiheateS from persons whose honesty is
above suspicion, but healer who makes q
secret of his mode of healing and demands
money from his patients is certain, how
ever. TO be set down as auack, II Dr.
Kelley really knows how to cure dipso-
mania, he Is in a position TO render to the
human race greater service than Pasteur
ever performed.
1t is possible that he has made discov-
cry. There are many cures for drunken
ness. Many men have been drunkards and
have reformed. But there is. unhappily, 20
cure known which is of universal applica-
tion. Still we have not reached finality
in the science Of medicine. Many maladies
which were once incurable are cured to-
day. Science marches triumphantly over
the ancient landmarks of ignorance and
wins victories over malades which our
fathers pronounced invincible. Whether
Dr., Kelley is to be perman emily successful

AN EASTERN RAILROAD.

A little additional light is thrown upon
railroad management by the report of The
New York Central for 189O-91, which has
just been published. The Central runs
through one of the most thickly settled
portions of the county; for much of its
length it traverses a series Of towns and vii
lagos. The main line, which was made up
of number of short lines whose construc-
ton was dictated by necessity, is admirably
situated; its branches and feeders consti-
tute half the total mileage of the system.
There is, however. one weak spot in the
property; that is the West Shore road, by
which it is paralleled, and which William
Vanderbilt was induced to buy. against the
Judgment Of some OF his advisers.
This road, comprising altogether, includ-
ing the rival line and the feeders, 2C96 miles
of track, earned gross last year S37. 9o2, 115,
at an expense of S25. $40. $50, or nearly CT
per cent. Operating expenses bear nearly
the same proportion to gross earnings as
they do on the Southern Pacific system.
But both the gross and net earnings per mile

CLEARING THE WAY.

The legal skirmishing which has occupied
public attention the last week over the
Grand Jury will perhaps prove not I'M
mixed evil. 1t has caused thorough eX-
animation of the legal questions involved,
with the result that the Grand Jury hndS
itself not only sustained by public opinion,
but the weight Of legal authority. The
friends of the Grand Jury and its opp0-
nentS have tested their strength, and the
former are in possession of the field. The
fact that the Supreme Court withheld its
decision in the Raymond habeas corpus
case is due apparently rather to the press of
duties in the court at the moment than to
any doubt as to what the decision will be.
The denial of the writ Of prohibition in the
Gage case asked for by Greed Raymond
was not only an expires sion of opinion as to
the right of witness t. test the legality OF
tie Grand Jury. but il leaves the Grand
Jury at liberty TO proceed with It's work
" lille the delay that has resulted from the
examination of legal questions that have
often been settled so far as court decisions
could settle them has not impaired pubic
confidence in the Grand Jury, the time
seems to have arrived TO proceed with tile
work in hand. II is not likely that any
other Superior Judge will emulate the am
btion or seek the fate OF Judge Murphy.
When Judge Wallace sentences another
witness for contempt the sentence will in
all probability be carried ont The knowl-
edge that the public possesses concerning
the fraudulent practices of the Senatorial
combine in the last Legislature is sutit-
GENTLY circumStantial TO warrant Iigld

CLEVELAND AND HILL.

While Major Mckinley and Governor
Campbell were speaking to the people Of
Ohio. ex-President Cleveland and Governor
Hill were addressing the people of New
York. While there were some hundreds of
miles between the Ohio and New York
speakers, the telegraph and the press ami
hilated the distance. a synopsis of the four
speeches was laid before the people in about
every State Of the Union the following morn
ing. The Ohio speeches are printed more at
length and are apparently the best worth at
tention. Cleveland talked in a rather vague
way about the dangers which threaten the
country under Republican rule, and the
necessity of carrying the State of New
York, which he naturally regards as the key
TO the political situation. Mr.. Cleveland and
Mr.. Hill were extremely courteous i'll their
demeanor, each to the other, but no sooner
had Cleveland taken his seat than Hill made
a vigorous attack on Cleveland's silver
policy. lie quoted Jefferson's remark that
" The monetary unit must stand on both
metals" in utter disregard of Mr.. Cleve-
lands persistent effort to make it stand on
one. He also apparently had Mr. Cleveland
in his eye when he said: "Those who
would have run us into collision with our
fellow Democrats Of other States, and
thereby wreck Democratic chances Of sue

AN EIGHT-FooT FAIRY.


Girl Who Must Be Courted From a
Step-Ladder.
Fat women have gone almost entirely out
of style as museum freaks. and woman
must now grow up in the air instead of
sideways to create demand for herself in
the curiosity-hall.
young girl who has already reached an
altitude that weather observer might be
proud of, and VINO hasn't yet stopped
growing, will be exhibited at Wonderland
next week, says the Detroit News. She is
only IS years of age and feet tall and of
handsome proportions. She has all the
manners and simple grace of young school
girl not yet from school, but the young
man who essayed TO coo sweet love words
in her ear would find himself sadly in need
of some sort Of an elevator.
Manager Moore Will furnish any am BIZ
tiouS young man with handsome portable
stepladder who wishes to try his luck with
the fair Ella Ewing. She was born in Scot
land County, Mo-, on farm, and in her in
fancy had plenty of opportunities to grow.
However, there was nothing unusual about
her childhood until years of age, when she
began to show painful ambition to occupy
more cubic inches of space than little
girls of her age are rightfully entitled to.
But she did not give this much thought at
the lime because she grew gradually, and it
gave her advantages which other girls of
her age did not possess in being able to
reach upon high shelves in the pantry,
where all preserves and jam and fruit-cake
were kept. Her father and mother always
travel with her, and it is quite amusing to
hear them still calling her their little
daughter.
She is just feet tall in her stocking feet,
and would be taller il it were not for a
slight stoop in her shoulders occasoned by
continually bending to pass through ordinary
doors. She is bashful about her size. She
does not know what a corset is as no stores
keep her proper size, and. being a frugal
country girl she has never had any
made TO order. Her hands are enor-
nous but shapely. and smooth and soft.
Although not a Chicago girl, she is not
proud of her feet, which are quite large COM
pared to those Of a young girl known to his
tory as Cinderella. One of her foot cases
might make more discernible representa-
tive of tho crystal slipper for exhibition at
the Worlds Fair. Her features are of
dOurse large, but they are not bad, and she
is better looking on large scale than the
ordinary girl. Her eyes are blue and she
has a wealth of brown hair, for nature has
dealt beautifully with her IN most every re-
sDect She weighs just 275 pounds and
sleeps in an ordinary bed, having got used
to sleeping that way.

trated." Mr.. Hill declared himself in favor
of bimetallsm, but apparently had no idea
how bmeialism is to be reached. He de-
nounced the present silver law, which pro-
poses to reach it through the appreciation oil
the market value of silver, but did not ex-
plain how bimetallism may be otherwise
reached. Mr.. Hill has for some years been
too close an observer of events not to know
that the double-standard cannot be obtained
by resolution. Hemust certainly know that
the free coinage of silver while there is any
considerable difference between the market
value of the two metals would insure the
nun-coinage of the dearer metal.

Chinese are coming to this country through
Canada al the rate of two hundred in four
weeks. 1t viii take some time for the
Chinese to overrun the country at this rate,
but there is no reason why the Canada route
shall be kept open. Canada profits by the
immigration which we are doing so much to
restrain. Every Chinese who comes into
Canada pays a head-tax to the Canadian
authorities, and then sets out for the United
States The American Government has a
resource in a controversy of this nature out
of the privilege granted to Canadian rail-
roads to carry American goods through
Canada and enter them into the United

THE ONO JOINT DEBATE.

Fifty years ago Tom Corwin of Ohio had
the reputation of being the most effective
stump speaker in the State. He could draw
larger audiences than any other stump
speaker and keep them in better humor.
Nobody cared much what Corwin said, but
every one except his opponents enjoyed his
way of saying it. But Corwin never fur
nished material for other speakers. He
had no real conception of the nature of an
argument. a speech that made his audi
ence laugh was in his estimation the most
effective speech that could be delivered.
While neither of the Ohio debater5 is
Tom Corwin, Governor Campbell evidently
possesses more Of Corwin's humor and
more OF his happy faculty of turning inter-
ruptIons to account than Major Mckinley.
The man who reads political speeches for
the entertainment he can extract from them
might, perhaps, think that Campbell had
the best of the argument. He made the
most points that tcklcd the fancy of his
auditors. He dealt in assertions such as
"Our commerce is swept from the sea, :"
7 early farming is growing more unpr0ft-
able" 1.-The splendid palaces of protected
manufacturers are browning the hills" etc.,
and generally appealed to the Imagination
rather than the understanding Of his audi
ence. But Mckinley dealt with facts and
conditions. He replied to the assertion that
our commerce had been driven from the seas
with the statement that we have the greatest
international commerce of the world
Great Brtain's foreign commerce is only
one-siXth Of cur domestic commerce. A
single railroad in the United States carries
more traffic and more tonnage than all the
merchant ships OF Great Britain. MeKin-
ley showed, also. that from 1876 to 1860 we
bought of Europe, under a low tariff.
S466, 100000 more goods than we sold to
Europe Contrasting this fact, he referred
TO a like period Of high tariff between 1869
and 1881, when we sold to Europe $1,000,
100000 more goods than we bought. Facts
of this character, which Mr. Campbell did
not question the truth of, gave the audience
something to think of after they got home.
Is it worth while to do away with system
of laws under which such splendid results
have been Accomplished
