A LESSON For AsToRIA.

Telling How Uriah Lott Built the Ar
ansas Pass Railroad System.
If the merchants of San Francisco
who are trying to raise enough money
to build railroad 200 miles long in
the San Joaquin valley ever get dis
couraged they may take heart from the
experience of Uriah Lott, who built the
900 miles OF the Aransas Pass system
| in Texas.
| Mr.. Lott was a resident Of Corpus
Christi and when he resolved to be-
come railroad magnate he had two
wheeled cart and borrowed five dol
lar bill. He transported all his port
able property to San Antonio In his
cart, and managed to get charter for
the construction OF railway from the
city to Aransas Pass. sOn the strength
Of this he succeeded in securing enough
labor to grade a mile of road. He con
trlbuted good part Of the work him
self with his own shovel
There are goou many bankrupt rail-
roads In Texas. and the frielcly re.
ceiver of one Of them was accommo-
dating enough to lend Mr.. Lott some
old rails to to lay down on his mile OF
roadbed. In another place the enter
prising promoter found a condemned
engine that had been sent to the scrap
heap, and bought 1t on easy terms. A
further search. through the railroad
1unkshops Of Texas uncovered two old
cars which the owners were glad to
get out of the way.
Mr.. Lott now had fully equipped
railroad one mile long, and proudly
began operations With pot Of lamp
black he painted the letters rs. A. and
A. p" on his rolling stock, and his
train went to work. He now had a
basis for financiering There was a
street-car company which had bought
enough secondhand rails from a mar
row guage railroad to lay three miles
of track and was willing to sell cheap.
Mr.. Lott bought and put them down.
On the strength OF this expansion he
got credit from rolling mill in PENN
sylvania for ten, miles Of new rails.
They came, with bill for freight
which the new road had not money
enough to pay But with 50 much SOL
Id collateral in sight It was mere
pastime for a financier Of Mr.. Lofts
resources TO skirinish up the required
wealth, and the rails reached their des-
tination This brought the road to
proportions that made It possible TO Is
sue bonds. and with the proceeds of the
bonds forty mills more Of track was
built. Mr.. Lott was now right In the
swim, and he went on airily issuing
bonds and building track until his sys-
tenn comprised six hundred miles Of
road, and he was a genuine magnate
Of the first water.
At one time this Texan Napoleon OF
finance went from San Antonio to Chi
cago In the interest Of his enterprise
without eating. AS railroad presi-
dent he could command pass. but he
did not have cent Of money. and so
he simply went hungry. And he got
there.
Here is little problem for the pri- |
mary class in arithmetic. II the mer-
chants Of San Francisco. in addition to
the financial resources in their pos
sion. had the spirit Of Uriah Lott. how
many miles Of railroad could they

general satisfaction.
The Rhode Island members are quite
well placed, Mr.. Page ,etaininghis place
as Chairman of the Committee on Manu-
factures and also his place on the Commit
tee on Rivers and Harbors, which means
considerable for this State in the way of
improvement In our waterways as well as
the promotion OF the breakwater at Point
Judith, that terror to Sound navigation.
Mr.. Lapham Is now third member Of
the Committee on Military Affairs and
retains his old place on the patents COM
mittee.
The only men who seem to be disap-
pointed are Springer OF Illinois and Hol-
man OF Indiana, who were transferred
from the most important Chairmanship
positions to ones OF less prominence.
Their places were given to Wilson Of
West Virginia and Sayers OF Texas.
Speaker Crisp asserts he had no reason
for the change except the good OF the
country.

NONSENSE.

Some Democratic "leaders" are already
talking of shutting of appropriations for
the State government at the January ses-
sion. 1t Is about their size. They do not
stop to think that the State will 60 on
Just the same and that the bills must be
paid with accrued interest. 1t Is arrant
nonsense.
The proper thing to do and the dignihed
manner of procedure is simply to ask the
Senate at the January session to meet and
count the votes. II the Senators refuse
them the people will judge them by their
acts. The constitution of the State Is
Just as well known to the layman of
Rhode Island as to the lawyers and assem-
blymen and judges. The common people
know when it is violated, and though
slow to act, they generally make up in the
end.
But no such foolish talk as that OF
Owen or Honey will convince them.
The conservative men of the party must
arouse themselves and take a hand In
settling this difficulty. IL Is time for
them to interfere. Matters have gone too
far ahead in the pursuance Of the personal
ambitions of one or two mon to allow
them to completely ruin the party OF the
people in this State. The enemy laughs
at us, and irritates the excitable leaders SO
that they do some spasmodically foolish
thing and get laughed at. The situation
is too serious for circus politics. Wemust
go calmly and earnestly to every citizen
OF the state and prove to them that the
Governor and the Senate have violated the
constitution-our fundamental law-and
trust to them to punish the offenders.

CLOSING THE DEBATE.

1t is encouraging to learn that the great
debate In the House must wind up this
week. Today there are giants upon the
field, and there are some resounding
whacks upon the silver armor Of the Wes'
tern champions. Tonight the sun will
most likely set upon a discounted free
silver party. Then the usual legislative
machinery will carry the matter over to
Monday next. "If we don't get the hnal
vote on that day." said an old Congress

GRADE CROSSINGS.I

In spite OF all ordinary precautions,
there seems to be no decrease In the num-
Der or the seriousness of grade. crossing
accidents. The killing Of five persons
Sunday In New York State Is unusual
only by the fact that every one In the
wagon was cut to pieces.
The expense Of abolishing grade Cross.
ings altogether by the construction Of
overhead or under way bridges would be
too serious an item OF expense for most
lines to contemplate doing within any
given time. Besides 1t would hardly be
justified by the sparseness OF the popula-
tion in--many of the rural districts
through which the railroads pass. Yet
where the traffic at a grade crossing is
large enough to warrant 1t, the railways
should be compelled to station a man to
raise and lower the gates. But the an
nual cost OF man would pay the interest
on the capital necessary to abolish such a
-gnsde crossing, so that the company con-
cerned would effect permanent improve
ment with out loss to itself.
The public wish to be fair 10 the rail-
road companies and do not desire to make
them incur useless expenditures. But the
number OF lives sacrificed at crossings has
become a crying scandal. The railway
companies promise fair, but they do not
make improvements in grade crossings
fast enough. There ought to be no grade
crossings at all within the city limits.
Sooner or later the Legislatures will take
the railway companies severely to task II,
meanwhile, they do not wake mp to their
responsibility for the annual slaughter at
grade crossings.
