the capitalist, that is those who lend
money or employ labor; how much of it
to those who work for wages or for sal
airy how many there are who get none of
it. The result would be, however, that
fully 30 per cent. of the entire income of
the United States would be found to be
paid out for labor and salaries About
one-tenth goes to capital in one form or
another as remuneration for having
saved it up to carry on useful enter
prises.
There is complaint that capital is get
ting more than its share, and in some
cases it undoubtedly is. But taking the
great aggregate of the business, capital is
getting a smaller per ceutage year by
year. l am not now dealing with asser-
tions. These are facts deduced from the
actual statistics. Capital is getting
smaller per centage, year by year, al
though it may get in the aggregate large
amount each year than it got before, for
the reason that capital is the more active
owing to the telegraph and the various
labor saving machines which have been
introduced. 1t is enabled to turn itself
more frequently, and therefore can afford
to do the business for less rate of remu-
neratiOn on each transaction.
Take the railroads as the best ex-
ample. There were in the United States
over $50, 600 miles of railway on the first
of January. The nominal cost of these
railroads is about nine thousand millions

ON THE CHICAGO FLYER.
The Strongest Engineers Only Able to
Stand Three Hours of the Strain.
From McClure's Magazine.


The Chicago flyer is not driven by one,
but by many engineers. In order to cover
the 964 miles between the two cities in
twenty hours, including nine stops, there
are required seven huge engines in relays
driven by seventy grimy heroes. run
of less than one hundred and fifty miles is
the limit per day for each engine, while
three hours of the pIunging rush wears
out the strongest engineer. Sixty, seven
ty, eighty miles an hour-what does that
mean to the man at the throttle2
1t means that the 81 feet drivers turn
3 times every second, and advance 100
feet. The engineer turns his head five
seconds to look at the gauges, and in that
time the terrible iron creature, putting
forth the strength of a thousand horses,
may have shot past red signal with its
danger warning 500 feet away. Ten sec
onds and i 600 feet are left behind-one-
fifth of a mile. Who knows what horrors
may lie within that thousand feet! There
may be death lurking round a curve
death spreading its arms in a tunnel and
the engineer must see and be responsible
for everything. Not only must he note
instantly all that is before him, the sig
nails switches. bridges, the passing trains,
and the condition of the rails, but he
must act at the same moment, working
throttle, air-brakes or reversing lever,
not as quick as thought, but quicker, for
there is no time to think.
His muscles must do the right thing
automatically under circumstances where
a second is an age In the three hours of
his vigil there are TO- 500 seconds, during
each one of which he must watch with
the mental alertness of an athlete spring
ing for a flying trapeze from the roof Of an
amphitheater with the courageous self pos
session of a matador awaiting the deadly
rush of a maddened bull; and far more
depends upon the engineers watching
well, because if he fails by a hairs
breadth in GOODNESS or precision Of judg-
ment, there may come destruction, not
only to himself, but to hundreds of pas
sengers, who, while he stands guard, are
perhaps grumbling at the walters in the
dining-car or telling funny stories in the
smoker.
What would you do in a collision?" I
asked
The engineer pushed back the little
black skullcap from his iron-gray hair and
said:
ut is pretty hard to say what a man
should do when he hears the whistle of
danger ahead or sees that crash is COM
ing Even the best Of us are liable to get
confused at such moment. Whit would

head There are no rules for such cases.

ment and make that mistake. 1t is a curl
Gus thing that reversing your engine sud
denly when going at high speed makes
the train 90 faster instead Of slower. The
reason is that the drivers slip and the

be peremptorily instructed to refuse to
receive this petition. He argued that his
personal homer as New York's ecclesiasti-
cal ruler would be assailed, de facto by
the presentation of the petition to the
delegates, inasmuch as the Propaganda
itself had sanctioned his (Corrigan's)
action in the Burtsell case.
But before any instructions could emanate
from Rome the petition of the $4,000 had
been more cordially received by the dele
gate, and the communication sent by the
Propaganda had therefore, no effect.
The apparent contradiction between the
apostolic delegates view of the case and
the utteranCes given out by Father Con
molly, the archbishOp's secretary, during
Mgr Satollis visit to New York last
month are thus in a measure explicable.
Father Connolly said DR. Burtsell would
remain where he was, but, of course, the
infallibility of the holy father is not
shared by the New York priest. Indeed,
there is n new aspect of DR.. Burtsells
case, and, while it is true that the Propa-
ganda has sustained Archbishop Corrigau
so far, newly discovered evidence would
result in the re0pening of the matter. and
that this is to be done there exists high
authority for believing.
1t is to no less person than Father
Rocker, whose coming is a matter of in
finite speculation to Catholics, that the
Burtsell champions look Every well in
formed man in New York is convinced
that this reverend gentleman has with
him documents that will operate sensa-
tionally upon arch-episcopal intrigue
Fragments of a private interview be-
tween Satolli and CoITigan are getting
into circulation. That the delegate knew
of the archbishop's letter to the Propa-
ganda appears certain, but they did not
discuss the subject Instead there was
hint delcately made, but obvious, that
Archbishop COrrigan is too closely af1ili-
ated with an organization which from
| social concern has become a political
power. The Tammany tiger has relieved
the monot0ny Of city hall vistas by an oc-
casioual roar in the vicinity of the ca
thedral The roar has rolled to Rome
and has not made a favorable impress
