The construction of the past year has
only been exceeded seven times during
the past twenty years, namely in III,
80, '81, '82, 'S3, 'S6, 'S7, '8S, and it was
exceeded by the record of three of those
years, 80, 'S3, and '88, by only few
hundred miles. The average construc-
tien for the past twenty years, has been
800 miles annually, therefore the year
just closing has made record consider
ably above the average and will increase
the total mileage of the country to more
than 167 900 miles.
While notable extensions have been
made during the year, especially in the
northwest, south and southwest, a care
ful analysis of the total mileage shows
that most of the additions have been
connecting links and spurs rendered
necessary by the increasing traffic of
existing lines. This in some measure is
indicated by the 337 lines shown, giving
an average mileage for each of only Is
miles. Among the more important ex-
ceptions, however, the following may be
named: Great Northern, 120 miles;
Great Falls and Canada, 109 miles (nar-
row gauge): Ontario, Carbondale and
Scranton, 81; Clinch valley di-
vision OF Norfolk and Western,
A.; Lynchburg and Durham,
81; Wilmington and Jacksonville, so
Columbia, Newberry and Laurens, so;
Macon and Birmingham, 81; Savannah
and Western, 49,; New Orleans and
Northwestern, 65; Paducah, Tennessee
and Alabama, SO; Pittsburg, Akron and
Western, 80; Winona and Southwest
ern. As; Grand Island and Wyoming
Central, 82; Pacific Short Line, 129;
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific extern
sion from Omaha to Lincoln, IS;
Wichita valley, 81; Pecos valley, 90;
Rio Grande junction, go; Rio Grande,
Southern, so; Denver and Rio Grande,
SO, and the Rio Grande Western, 80. =
1t will be observed from our summary
that the states showing the greatest ex-
tent OF new mileage are as follows:
Montana 42l, Georgia 375, Washington
341, North Carolina 300, Texas 253,
Alabama 253, Pennsylvania 253, Vir-
ginia 228, Ohio 22S, Kentucky 222, Neb-
raska 2le, Colorado oil I'll. The states
showing the least mileage are Iowa and
Nevada, each l mile, Arizona 3, Rhode
Island 6. Vermont 13 and Massachusetts
16. The poor showing in the great state
OF Iowa which places it on an equality
with Nevada is easily explained BY
capital stunning commonwealth that
seeks every opportunity to attack its
rights. II Railway Age.

HowABoUT THE ORDINANCE

At a time when the good people of
Lawrenceville are vainly protesting by
force against new plantation of tele-
phone poles in front of their residences
and places of business, it is timely to in
quire what has become of the ordinance
introduced with flourish Of trumpets in
Councils some months ago, ordering all
the telephone, telegraph and electric wires,
excepting for railways, underground?
The Department of Public Works in
sisted that overhead wires must co." but
the only underground wiring since accom-
plished-if we except what the Central
Telephone Company has done in the
lower wards-is what has been done quietly
in Councils to prevent the ordinance pass
ing.
1t is time that the measure were called
upand passed. The Lawrenceville people,
at least, are now in a mood to want to
know what their Councilmen mean to do
about it.

cast an intelligent vote. But if the qualifi-
cation of self-support is to be introduced
as emitting a person to suffrage, its logical
application should bring in the converse as
applied to the male sex 1t may not be
more incongruous to do this than to leave
the self-supporting woman without vote
while the man may live on the labors OF
his wife, and exercise the sovereign power;
but the distinction would be accentuated
if self-support is made qualification for
one sex with no application at all to the
other.
1t might not make Mr. Willcox's propo-
sition SO likely to succeed if it was supple
mented with the provision that the man
who cannot truthfully swear that he is
supported by his own labor shall lose his
vote. But it would round out the logic Of
his proposition. And since there is little
prospect of the adoption of his proposition,
it will be better for him to make his plan
complete than to leave it incomplete.
We hope Mr.. Wilcox will amend his
idea as suggested. There is taking ring
in the condensed platform: Votes for the
breadwinners.

PERSIAN TROUBLES IN sssIAsn
1Hecu1iar Letter Written by Mira AbduHah

EEecunar Letter written by MIRA ADooAisn
5ser,zt e = About Malcolm Khan.
rBr cABLE'ro THE p1sPArcH.1
LONDON, Dec. 5-DIsPAruH readers will re-
member that over year ago Malcolm Khan,
the Persian Minister in London was sud-
denly dismissed from his post and ordered
by his irate sovereign to return to Teheran
and give a personal explanation Of certain
high crimes and misdemeanors of which
the Shah believed him to be guilty. Malcolm
Khan, however, felt that the air of Persia
would not suit his delicate health, and de-
clded to remain in this country, where MS
head would be reasonably safe from the
executioner's knife. Since then he has
written to newspapers and spoken in public
from time to time, the burden of his writ
fngs and speeches being the corruption OF
the ruling class in Persia and the urgent
necessity for radical Administrative and
social reforms. Echoes of these seditious
letters and discourses have from time to
time reached Persia and the Shah and his
ministers have made repeated, but impo-
tent, efforts to have curb put upon their
Irritating author.
Now word has apparently gone forth
anthorizfng the legation to fight Malcolm
modern manner. NJ. Abdullah, writing to
the papers to day, presumably from the
Persian legation, sarcastically disputes
him Of Is sna
he respectables readers" He concludes,
with fine Persian irony: zone may easily
discover that the precedent epoch never has
produced such marvellous leader. II do
not know what will think the English peo-
pie about this very eloquent and admirable
speech, but may assure them that the mat
ter OF that speech is nothing but a simple
imagination by an melancholic head"
Mira Abdullah is evidently conscious
that his English may lack lucidity, and he
frankly requests the editors in postscript
to correct his "orthografical faults"

HOW TO REALIZE IT.

The Postmaster General in his report is
theoretically an earnest supporter OF
progress in the means of communication
in various ways. He urges one cent post
age and postal telegraphy, although there
does not seem to be much prospect of
the immediate realization of either reform.
Still the agitation of these things by the
head of the postal department will doubt
less advance that indefinite day in the
future when they can be actually effected.
1t is in the same line of work that Mr..
Wanamaker brings out in his report the
idea of postal telephone.
The Postmaster General,believes that by
the union of the telephone and telegraph
with the postal system the day of three
cent telephone messages and ten-cent tele-
grams might be brought into sight. The
proposal has its undoubtedly attractive
features, and the idea of telephone serv-
ice placed within the reach of common
people shows possible enlargement of
the postal benefits that would be very
valuable.
Nevertheless it is necessary to say that
If the Postmaster General wishes to ad-
vance the time when the telephone service
can be made as cheap as he suggests he
should use his influence with another de-
partment of the Government to prevent
such jugglery with the practice of the Pa
tent Office as results in the unjust exten-
sion of the telephone monopoly for an adj
ditional period of fifteen years.

COLLECTOR AND ADMINISTRATION

The Philadelphia Press asserts that Col
lector Warmcastle ''has got himself into a
peck of trouble by the management or
mismSnagement of his Office The sole
allegation of mismanagement made by the
Press is that the collector is lone of the
most aggressive and offensive of Mr..
Qu2y'S lieutenants, and that, since ne has
been active in personal political effort, be
has shown that "he ought not to hold a
Federal office"
This is principally important as showing
the source whence the attack on Mr.
Warmcastle is inspired. The public is
well aware that THE DISPATCH has not
conceded with the political efforts of Mr..
Warmcastle, but it has yet had no reason
10 modify its opinion, expressed when
Warmcastle was appointed, that his in
tegrity and personal reputation were above
repr0ach.
As TO Mr.. Warmcastle's activity in
politics, the criticism of his course might
come with a good grace from those who
have consistently opposed the participa-
ton Of ofice-holders in politics. Consider
ing that neither the esteemed Press nor
the Administration had any fault to find
with him until the Administration and
Senator Quay ceased to flop together, the
parunence of the Press attack is not very
positive.
Indeed it conveys the suggestion that
The most obnoxious characteristic of the
lively Pittsburger in the estimation of our
Philadelphia organ is his illustration that
a Federal Office does not necessarily con-
Tey title in fee-simple to the Admins

THE BELLEFoNTE FAILURE.

The failure of the Bellefonte Iron and
Nail Company, announced yesterday, was
a disagreeable, but not especially disturb
ing. surprise. The company, which princi-
pally owed its prominence to the Presi-
dency of Governor Beaver, was not re-
garded as a remarkably prosperous one,
but it was not supposed that its affairs
were in any such condition as to require a
suspension of payments. The failure
neither presents so large total of liabili-
ties nor indicates condition Of the gen.
eral iron trade that calls for any appre-
tensions. The iron business at large has
been in waiting condition for some time,
and prices have been based on narrow
margins; but the elements of stability
have been markedly present, and the i'm
proved prospects are now becoming al
most tangible. 1t is to be hoped that the
proposal to put the Bellefonte company in
the hands of trustee will enable it to
share the coming revival Of activity and
to thoroughly rehabilitate itself in the
near future.

Congress will go into session tomorrow
under circumstances of the greatest in
terest. The Democrats have majority in
the House. The country will be nightly
curious to note what use the party pro-
poses to make of its opportunity. The
answer to this question will have a great
influence in deciding almost in advance the
Presidential contest which is to follow.
So far those Democratic leaders who are
loudest in speech and most frequent in
letters talk of continuing the policy of at
tack upon the protective tariff. But when
it comes to adding to the record, it may
reasonably be hoped that many of them
will think twice before incurring a
repetition of the disastrous anti-tariff
campaign of 1888 There is an
influential and growing element among
the Democracy which believes that it is
neither good politics nor good business to
continue threatening the manufacturing
interests of the country. The New York
San expresses the opinion of this element
strongly, and is backed by number of
Democratic papers in the South, where
the manufacturing interests are growing
and the value of protection is beginning to
be felt. Such Democratic Congressman
as prefer other candidates to Cleveland
win also go slow about shaping Congress
sional policy which would inevitably COM
pei Mr. Cleveland's nomination as its fit
test exponent
The silver issue will also try the Demo
cratic leaders The cry for free silver
coinage is much less popular now than
when first broached and less understood
by the public. The short dollar; the invi-
tation to foreign countries to ship their
silver here and extract profit out of it
from Uncle Sam; and the general unsettle-
ment Of business, will not be so alluring to
the Democratic majority as it was lately
As for the Republicans, their task in the
House is an easy one. Being in the
minority they will not have a chance to
injure themselves by such extravagant ap-
preparations as made the Billion Dollar
Congress a by-word, or by such partisan
unfaiTness as was shown by Speaker Reed
in trying to rush through the undesirable
Force bill. 1t is undoubtedly much to
their advantage so far as affects the Presi-
dental canvass, that they are in minority
in the House this winter The mistakes
Of legislation will How have to be shoul-
dered by their opponents
The impartial citizen will readily see
that the wisest course for the Democrats
is to abjure at once further conflicts with
the business interests in which all are con-
cerned, and to substitute in place of that
disastrous policy the issue of economy in
governmental expenses. They have, in
making appropriations, fine chance,
without impairing efficiency or displaying
parsimony, to get along with total very
much below the mark set at last session.
This, to be sure, will not give all the
orators and politicians SO much opportun-
ity to pose before the country, but it
would commend the party more than vain
warfare against the protective system, or
attempting to doctor the financial situa-
ton by the free silver prescription.
The public will watch the proceedings
of this Congressional session with pro-
found and minute interest.

VOTES FOR THE BREADwINNERs

Mr.. Hamilton Wilcox, of New York,
appears as the author and champion of a
measure giving the right of suffrage to
women who support themselves. He de-
fines the measure as relieving from dis
franchisement ''every woman who, be-
sides the requirements which the law
exacts of her brother, can truthfully swear
if challenged that she is entirely supported
by her own labor
The proposition is novel one and has
its attractive features. There is certainly
a good deal of ground for the belief that

earns her own living is well qualified to

A Southern Democratic Opinion Upon Their
Relative Strength.
Richmond, Va, Dispatch, Dem.1
Ever since he aided Mr.. Randall in the
good work Of killing the force bill, which
the Republicans tried to force through the
last House of Representatives of which he
was Speaker Mr.. Blaine has been regarded
by us as having done something to entitle
himSelf to be considered better than his
party leaders; and ever since he defeated
Grant of the nomination for third term as
President of the United States we have had
still higher opinion o: him. We are will
ing for him to have such honors as the Re-
publican party can confer upon him, but
not the honors which the American people
have the privilege of comforting. We
favored his nomination by the Republicans
in $780, 1884 and 1888. But we sometimes
failed to get him set up to be shot down.
We are not sure that we would like to have
the Republicans nominate him this year.
We might get more than we wish to bar
gain for. The present prospect is that the
Republicans will nominate Harrison, and
the Democrats will have walk-over. If the
Republicans nominate Blaine the Democrats
will have the most trying contest on their
hands that they have had for many years.
We can defeat Blaine or any other Republi-
can nominee If the situation continues until
the election as it is now. The trouble is that
the situation may be changed.

THE issue raised in Chicago by the case
in which a school teacher sent a pupil home
because the latter had been eating onions,
which made their pungent breath hard to
bear, naturally appeals to the sense of
humor in the American press. But there is
enough of a serious side to it to make it
worth while to positively remark that
neither an offensive breath, squalor or rags
can be permitted to defeat the child's right
to attend the public schools. Nothing less
than a danger to the health of the school at
large will justify sending pupil away from
the schools. which are sustained for the
education of the children OF the whole
people
