of the Present Management.

President Mayors annual report
made yesterday to the stockholders of
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, Is an un-
usually clear and Satisfactory statement,
and It is accompanied by tables from
the late auditor and the general mana
ger, which furnish tho fullest details OF
the management OF the road during the
past year. The stockholders aud the
public are taken into the confidence Of
tho company, as they should be, and
the actual value OF the property is
made known, as far as it Is in the
power OF the officials to do 30. In this
way doubt aud suspicion are cleared
away, and the road made to stand on
its merits. That this frank and open
policy is the proper one ia shown by
the growth OF public confidence in the
road since President Mayer took charge,
and the gradual, but regular, improve.
ment in every department.
The past year has been severe one
on all OF the trunk lines, and it was
generally expected that comparison
with the Worlds Fair year, when the
whole nation appeared to be on the
road, would be greatly in favor OF the
latter. The brunt OF the financial aud
business depression Tapped over upon
the present year, and the great coal
strike paralyzed one OF the most profit
able branches Of railroad traffic. In
soite Of this, however, the Baltimore &
Ohio Is able, under it's present manage
ment, to make q most excellent show
ing. The receipts for passengers did
not fall of IS decidedly as many ex-
pected, but the receipts from freight
fell away $685.. $50. by reason, prin-
clpally, OF the long suspension 81 the
coal traffic. The receipts from other.
sources showed considerable advances,
aud the reduction OF expenses during
the year was tremendous, amounting in
all to So, 4Sl, 292. The net earnings for
the year we're S6.941.973, or only
$3.50, S52 less than during the Worlds
Fair year.
Under the present administration the
road has been almost built up from the
ground, so many and such varied re-
pairs having become necessary through
the vain efforts to maintain large divi-
dends when the majority OF railroad
properties were unable to stand such
drains. The money spent on these
necessary repairs has been earned by
the company, but the latter, instead OF
paying dividends that lessened the
roads power to earn dividends, has at
length put 1t into a condition that will
enable it to reimburse it's stockholders
without encroaching on the permanent
value OF the property. The wisdom OF
such policy is made apparent by the
great decrease in expenses. and the
payment OF a reasonable dividend, in
spite of the unpropi:ious year for rail.

Tho blanche Mine Disaster.

The mine disaster in Brooke county
was awful in its results, but the most
impressive fact about it was that. un-
less many skilled miners are mistaken,
the accident could have been prevented.
Such casualties will occur, but it is
rarely that it can be shown before one
does occur that those interested have
been warned OF the danger andits source
pointed out. tits part Of the sworn
testimony that when State Mine In
spector Harr visited the Blanche mine,
only week ago. he was asked to con-
slider the dryness OF the mine aud the
unusual quantity OF dust, and his atten-
ton was directed to the fact that twice
explosions had been caused by this pc.
culiarity OF the mine.
It is fearful responsibility that
must rest upon some mans conscience,
and when the facts are considered the
corouer's iury's "censure" seems very
mild verdict.

Increduious Democratic journals sent
their funniest writers to make sport Of
the feast, but the anticipated incongrui-
ty Of conduct and speech did not trans
pIre. They came to SCOT and remained
to praise. Comparative criticism failed
to make any distinction between the
millionaires aud Representatives Of cor
porations and the pretorians OF the
Bowery in the observance Of the polite
amenities OF the function or eloquence
OF utterance.
There was no hesitation or embarrass-
ment that would suggest that the Bow
cry boys feared they were encroaching
on territory where angels might fear to
tread. These yeritable captains OF the
watch bore themselves as being con-
scious Of their American manhood and
their common rights as citizens of a
common republic.
What an object lesson Of the brother
hood of man in the commonality OF
vital interests, the common veal of the
country and patriotism that knows no

head and heart.

Wall street believes that President
Cleveland has accumulated about Sc, 000,-
900. This is q great deal OF money.
Mr.. Cleveland is known TO DO wealthy
man, and every dollar OF his wealth has
been made since he entered on his first
term OF Office, less than ten years ago.
II he has now s6,0O0.0O0 he has made
1t all at the rate OF more than $500, 900 a
year. This is making money very fast
on salary OF $4,000 year aud free
house rent for about five years Of tho
time, and for the other part having a
not very active connection with q law
firm.
While Mr.. Cleveland was laying up
this treasure he was devoting good
deal OF his time and his talent to an
effort to array the poor against the rich.
Since he takes 90 much interest in the
poor, and since he has become in very
short time very rich man, it might
help to set many deserving man on
his feet ii Mr.. Cleveland would explain
how he did it.
So great an achievement places Mr..
Cleveland beside Marlborough aud
Give, and qualities him to testify as an
expert.

The Democratic press of New York
city persists in attempting to make
sport OF the banquet given by Mr..
Chauncey Depew at the Union League
Club to the Republican captains OF the
Bowery, and to beli.tle it's Significance.
The Jokes and ieers find no responsive
echo IN the minds OF the serious and
thought ful, and as d consequence the
shafts OF ridicule fly wide OF the mark.
The invasion OF Darkest Democracy
by Republican speakers. and the sys-
tematic organization OF Republican
workers within the boundaries OF the
Bowery in the recent campaign, was,
indeed, carrying the war into Africa"
resulting in destroying the autonomous
character of that section for the Dem
ocracy. For years this stronghold was
considered, like Ephraim. to have been
Joined to its idols. and, like the idolator
OF old, was lot alone in its blind aervl-
tude to the Tiger.
Before the breaking Of the images and
the rending OF the wigwam it was
counted as the secure appenage OF
Croker and Grant and the servile gang
OF Tammany, but there wore some Re-
publican leaders who thought there
was enough falIow ground to SOW in.
It was au experiment Of very doubtful
results. and when Chauncey Depew
lifted his eloquent voice, it was indeed
q strange sound in Philistia aud was
counted only as an eccentric and incon-
sequentiol episode.
1t was marveled at one time that any
good could come from the Bowery, so
the Republicans kept on sowing and
cultivating, abiding the harvest what
ever II might be. With that diplomacy
and fnesse for which he is noted, Mr..
Depew appeared before his Bowery
auditors as he would have revealed him.
self to Carnegie hall assemblaRe, dress
suit, immaculate shirt front and all the
paraphernalia he would have worn on
the most rigid public occasion. His
quick.witted audience was not slow to
appreciate that he came as an earnest
missionary.
Tho consequences OF the work done
are vol known, and no longer win the
Bowery DO sterile ground for Republic
can seed. or tho vest-pocket vote of
Democratic bosses. Tho achievement
was too great, from political point of
view, to be passed over with tho mere
tribute OF n smile Of satisfaction. To
aignalize its Importance Mr.. Depsw ten

The President is supposed to desire to
do something to break the fall OF Mr..
william L. Wilson from the head OF
the ways and means committee and
out OF the house of representatives.
This may be true, for the President
and Mr.. Wilson are good friends and
closely connected in the diacredtted
movement of so.caIled tariff reform. No
West virgiuian will object to the Pre.i-
dent giving Mr.. Wilson q consolation
purse in, any form that may have due
regard to the public aervice.
II has been suggested thatif our own
Judge Jackson. OF this district and cir
cult, could be induced to resign that
would make comfortable place for Mr..
Wilson. Lawyers who practice before
Judge Jackson's court and know MIR.
Wilson would regret to see the consola-
ton como In this form, for they do not
regard Mr.. Wilson as having the legal
attainmcnts to fill the place.
The suggestion that Mr.. Wilson may
get the vacancy expected to be caused
by Judge Jackson, of the supreme court
OF the United States, is received In
West Virginia with something very
near to amazement. Mr.. Wilson had
been at the bar about eleven years,
from 1871 to 1882, when he became
president of the West Virginia univer-
sity. From the university he went to
Congress. Since he has been in Con-
gress he has pracsiced politics, not law
So that the proposition is to put on
the supreme bench of tho United
States a man fitty-one years OF age who
has apent eleven years OF his life at the
bar and has had no active connection
with the legal profession for the past
twelve years.
President Cleveland should find some
other way to show his good feeling for
Mr.. Wilson. Hands of the supreme
court of the United States, the highest
judicial tribunal in the world!
