the cause of their mfsdeeds. The abuse of
morphine for criminal. purposes takes

sonal,

In spite of bank failures, commercial
insoyencies, the closing Of manufactures
and unparalleled distrust and stringency
in the money markets Of the world, and
Notwithstanding the added troubles in
various sections of the country from
floods, pestilonce, partial crop failures and
financial troubles peculiar to the lOcnli-
tics, railway construction IN the United
States has continued to 20 on, aud still
the demand for steam transportation
facilities ~ far from being satisfied. OF
course the monetary panic from which the
country Is yet suffering has been felt very
severely by railway builders, and many
enterprises that would have been dcvel-
oped under ordinary conditions Of the
market have been postponed, while In
not few cases work actually under way
has been stopped because money was
not to be had on securities involving any
possible risk The wonder Is that c0u-
struction did not altogether cease, for
the time, and yet we find that since
July /, when the panic was Mt its height,
over 1000 miles of new track have been
laid down. and that In the nine months
of 1893 that have passed 2O40 miles have
been added TO the railway system of the
country. Compared with the seven pre-
cedng years this is n small figure, and
yet under the existing conditions II indi'
Gates greater activity than might have
been expected The following table com
piled from our detailed records based on
official information shows the number OF
lines extended and the miles of track
laid upon them In each of the states and
territories represented.

true, however, that several other states
escaped exclusion from the list only by
