AS TO KANSAS RAILROADS.
Annual Report of the Commissioner
Shows Their Condition.

Annual Report of the Commissioners
Shows Their Condition.
TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 2S.-The annual
report of the state board of railroad
commissioners will be given to the
governor in a few days. 1t will show
that with the exception of two small
branches of the Union Pacific, every
distinctively Kansas road shows a de-
felt. The roads which paid dividends
are the Burlington, Az per cent; the
Rock Island, 3 per cent; the Memphis,
8 per cen ION preferred stock); the
Missouri Pacific 4 per cent. The latter
paid its dividends out of it's surplus.
There are in operation in the state
I, 1874. 70 miles of road and 11.49 not OPP
Grated. The only recommendation of
importance in the report will be the
following: 1T should be provided by
law that the order of the railroad COM
mis- bners shall be the governing law
of IN railroad companies, to be obeyed
and Npected by them until vacated by
o com tent judicial tribunal on APP
peal. Va allow a suspension of the
order d3tbe commissioners pending
appeal W the companies is to make o
farce of ties whole commissioner sys-
tenn" This recommendation grows
out of the recent injunction granted
by Judge Eat6n of Atchison county in
the Symns grocer company's case.

clared, contained copies of correspond
ence with Herr and Arton relating to
the sale of votes in the senate and
chamber of deputies in behalf of the
Panama canal schemes, and letters de-
handing money, together with dates

The book in question, the paper de-

pieces of evidence that has yet fallen
into the hands of the government and
will be made the basis of additional
prosecutions. 1t establishes beyond

parently been treated with implicit

FIRED BY DYNAMITE.
A $500. 900 CONFEDERATION
IN MILWAUKEE.
. STREET RAILWAY PLANT BURNED
II Fire Caused by an Incendiary Bomb
DEMONSTRATIONS of Dollars Damage
Done by IA Fire bug Recently
Two More Bodies Recovered
From Tuesdays Fire-A
Heavy Reward Offered.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dee. 2s.-At 2
o'clock this morning u bomb was
thrown into the main building of the
South side plant of the Milwaukee
street railway company. There was a
tremendous explosion and in u moment
the interior of the building was ablaze.
In a few minutes the fire was beyond
control and in less than an hour the
entire plant was consumed, entailing
u loss of $50 900.
The South side railway plant in
cluded immense storage stables for
electric motors, machine shops and
horse stables. In the barn were fifty
new electric motors and nearly all the
summer cars owned by the company.
The machine shops were built during
the past season and were fitted with
fine machinery for the rebuild
ing and repairing of cars. In
the stables were sixty horses,
but these were rescued. The
cars were valued at $3.50, 900, while the
structure itself is worth at least $780,
900. The machinery is valued at fully
$75, 200. while the stores of the com
pany kept in the building were worth
$4,000, The only insurance carried
"dS oh IhO DuiluluB anu duiOuhtS "
about $4,000. The barns were the
principal depot of the Milwaukee
street railway company and the fire
greatly cripples it.
The man who threw the bomb is not
known. He is supposed to be the fire
bug who has started fully a dozen
other disastrous blazes within a
month. A grand jury will be sum-
moned to investigate.
Investigation to-day shows beyond
doubt that the fire which yesterday
destroyed two tanneries, causing a loss
of $3.50, 900 and by which two lives
were lost, was incendiary. This is
also the case of the two fires Sunday.
when $500 o worth of property was
burned.
This afternoon Mayor Somers issued
a proclamation offering a reward of
So, 500 for the arrest of any of the per-
sons starting any of the fires beginning
with the great conflagration of Octo-
Der 80, or who shall start any fire in
this city within the next thirty days.

THE MCKINLEY LAW SUSTAINS IT
SELF.

The total value of imports of tin plate
to this country fell from $50, 900, 1858 to
81, ,3O6, ,O1O for the nine months of the
fiscal year ending March 3lst, 1892, as
compared with the corresponding
months prior to that date in 1891. There
is a strong argument in these figures
against repeating the tin plate duty. The
idea that there is any less consumption
of tin plate now than during 1S90-91 is
untenable. 1t is certain that the output
of American tin plate factories is begin
ming to have an appreciable effect in
supplying the market
it is highly noteworthy as an evidence
that the Mckinley law is keeping the
home market for home manufacturers
and workingmen that the total value of
all dutiable articles imported for the
nine months above noted was only $3.50
691, ,725, as against 1888, ,7S1,605 for the
nine months prior to March 31st, 1891
Among the more important declines
were those in wooden goods from $685.
AIS, ,945 to S29, ,456, ,267; in iron and steel
from S34, ,SO2, ,652 to S19, ,649, ,2S8; in cotton
goods from $25, ,1S1, ,673 to $50, ,769, 1856;
and IN chemicals from $12, ,035, 133 to S10,-
727, ,307. These figures are ample evil
dence that the Mckinley tariff is work
ing practically and clearly to the benefit
of home industry.
Probably no feature of the quarterly
statistics so clearly demonstrates these
conclusions as those on wool and woolen
goods. While the imports on woolens
were diminished by about $4,000, 900 as
shown above, the imports of wool in
creased from S13, ,535 to $14, ,792, ,997,
proving that there is an unusually ac-
tive condition among the woolen manu-
factories.

FARM WAGES.

A report on wages of farm labor in the
United States for half century, issued
by the statistician of the agricultural de-
partment, is a decidedly interesting
document and cheerful alike in the view
taken of the condition and progress of
farm labor, and in the differences that
must necessarily be drawn as to the con-
dition of agricultural and industrial IN
terests generally.
The report is based on nine statistical
Investigations from 1866 to 1892 and on
such information as the statistician has
been able to gather in references to wages
of farm labor from 1910 to 1865. The
report has the advantage, so rare IN this
era of belated census returns, OF being
brought down nearly to date, and con-
tains good deal of well-compiled infor-
nation. One of the conclusions reached
is that in the past fifty years the COM
pensation of farm labor has very nearly
doubled. OF recent years, while farmers
have suffered from low prices of certain
products, they have been unable to re-
duce the rates of wages; and although
many farmer complains that labor costs
too much, and that the values of pro
ducts do not warrant the rates demanded,
vet he requires and employs the labor,
ian indication of general employment
and a fair degree of prosperity" 'The
returns give true explanation" the re-
port saws, "of the apparent anomaly OF
low prices and high wages. There Is
difference in employers. Some are pro,
gressiye. increase the fertility of theil
lands, use the best methods and imple-
ments, employ labor, pay good wages
ntbarc laCC
prising, diligent or progressive, and make
small net profit or none at all. AS
margins of profit grow narrow, skill is al
premium, wastes are ruinous, the skill
full succeed, the careless 60 to the wall
The returns are full of indications thai
the present is a crucial test of the in
dividual farmer. They teach the neces
sity of progress i'll agriculture, anC
especially facility for prompt adapta
ton of current effort to changing con
ditions.n
'tThe present rate" it concludes, "caI
only be maintained by keeping up th'
fertility of the soil, utilizing the best re
suits of invention and skill in implements
and machinery, advancing the status O
practical agriculture, supplying al
domestic demands for all required pro
ducts and seeking foreign markets TO
the surplus" The reports of abundance
or scarcity of farm labor show a com
parative scarcity throughout so large
portion of the country, attributable t.
the increasing demands of diversified in
dustries, as to throw brighter light ol
the industrial situation generally, and Il
show at glance the absurdity of argu
ments in favor of restricting the immi
grafton of laborers.-N. Y. Commercial
