An idea Of what the railroad
companies are losing by the wan
ton destruction of their cars is
afforded in the following extract
from the Kansas City Star:
Probably the cheapest car made
for railroad use is the ordinary
fiat car, which costs about $3.50.
A box car costs S700, and the
ordinary stock car represents a
lay out Of 5000, The way cars
that ride at the last end Of a
freight train cost in the neighbor-
hood of 81, 800. An average pas
senger coach costs a railway COM
pany in the region of $1,000 or
$4,000. The refrigerator cars that
are built for the transportation of
fruit aud perishable stuffs are the
equivalent of $1,000 in money.
A chair car costs $4,000 and a
sleeper with all the latest conven-
fences will reach a cost of from
$4,000 to $4,000. For q finely
outfitted special car that the rich
people of the east come west in,
with their families, the Pull
man and Wagner companies get a
daily rental Of from $40 to $50, but
they cost the companies that own
them from $4,000 to $685. 900.

An Awful Power.

Under the above heading the
St Louis Republic has these very
sensible things to say;
A very astonishing thing about
the present strike is the willing
ness OF a great number Of citizens
to submit their judgements and
their worldly welfare to the dis
erection Of one man.
President Cleveland has very
much less power over the liberties
of the country than President
Debs. Cleveland is surrounded
with legal limitations. Debs has
none. Cleveland was elected after
long discussion before the voters.
Debs was elected without any ex-
animation of his qualifications.
In a state of war the president
Of the United States would not
dare, if he had the power, to stop
commerce and throw thousands Of
men, directly and indirectly out of
employment. The embargo under
jefferson, which aroused angry
protests, was a trife when COM
pared to the locking up of the in
ternal commerce of the country as
it stands today. And it was only
with the consent of congress that
the embargo was imposed.
Debs may be a man of perfect
integrity and extraordinary knowl-
edge of the affairs affected by the
strike. He ought to be. The
temptation to order a strike to get
rich by a settlement would be too
much for most men. He is a die
tator who can stop the trade of a
nation on an impulse and can inn
pose private losses to an amount
which, in the shape of a public
debt, would overthrow a govern
ment.
This is a terrible power, and IL
is a marvel that the men on this
continent and in this era will sub
NIT to it.
All next winter innumerable
families viii be pinched to pay the

rha GOLD Prodnct.


Estimates made by the director
Of the mint go to show that the
worlds product Of gold in 1898
was S155, $4,000. This was a con-
siderable increase over 1892, and
il is believed that the current
year will show a still further in
crease. This is due to greater
activity in gold mining in many
parts Of the world, but more espe-
cially in South Africa, the output
Of the latter region being last
year about S28,00O,OOO. The sta
tistics furnished by the mint
director show also that the gold
product of last year was almost
equal to the average aggregate
product Of silver and gold per an
mum in the period Immediately
preceding the demonetization Of
silver IN 1873. The aggregate an
nual product Of the two metals
during that time will be equaled
if the output of gold is much IN
creased over what il is now. From
this, monometallists argue that
there is an abundance Of gold in
the world for business purposes.
They base their argument on
the supposition that about two
thirds Of the gold product is avail

The Illinois Central Railroad
Company, which is noted for fair
and liberal treatment Of its en-
ployes, has issued a notice to them
from which the following is an ex-
tract: ''The contract with the Pull
man Company made June /, 1891,
requires this company to haul
Pullman cars on its trains for a
term Of years, and tins company
would be responsible for any loss
or damage sustained by the Pull
man Company if the contract
should not be carried out by this
company. The loss, therefore,
would not be that Of the Pullman
Company, against which a griev-
ance is claimed, but against this
company. This company knows
Of no reason why It's employees
should injure it and benefit the
Pullman Company by forcing it Ia
violate its contract.

Old-time Discomforts Of Dress.
Georgiana Hill has just pub
lished a very interesting book, "a
History Of English Dress, full Of
curious facts, admirably put to-
gether.
Speaking of a gentleman of the
Tudor period, the writer says
"A gallant's toilette was no easy
business, and a slow or clumsy
servant, no doubt, got many an
oath and blow if he failed to tie up
the points Of the hose, lace the
doublet, or arrange the stomacher
and frilled shirt to his masters
satisfaction. A gentleman's dress
had so many fastenings; there was
so much tying and lacing of his
garments together, that it was inn
possible he should eyer get cos
tuned without assistance. The
long hose had to be securely tied
by a number of latchets to the
doublet; the doublet itself was
laced up the front, and the sleeves
being slashed to show the shirt
sleeves, had also to be laced some
times"
What Is the trouble all our
modern bellies are put to in order
to look becomingly attired COM
pared to this continued labor of
dandy Of the Tador period?
More follows: Padding was the
order of the lay. Fine gentlemen
had their sleeves puffed out till
the shape of the arm was quite
unrecognizable. The doublet was
stuffed not only at. the shoulders,
as it had been before, but also in
front, where it was brought to
point. Says Phillip Stubbes:
"Their doublets are SO stuffed,
bombasted, and sewed, as they can
verie hardly eyther stoupe downe,
or decline themselves to the
grounde, soc style and sturdy
they stand above them"
"The Normans," the author tells
us, introduced pointed shoes, and
as, Of course, it was Of no use to
have pointed shoes unless their
points were longer than every one
else's, they at last became SO long
that they had to be chained to the
knees or they would have tripped
up the gallant gentleman who wore
them" 1t was the men who wore
these, but not to be without cor
responding inconvenience, women
invented sleeves which were so
long that they had to be knotted
up to keep them out Of the way Of
their wearers while walking.
The eighteenth century might
well be called the uncovered age,
there was such woeful falling off
in the amount of covering worn
both by men and women. The
former carried this uncovering to
a fearful extent.
"The men wore very fine shirts,
and we're SO fond Of showing them
that they threw back their coats in
all weathers for that purpose, with
the result, as the Spectator aver
red, Of disturbing, by their dread
full coughing, not only the parson
in the pulpit, but the actors at
Drury Lane theater, and drowning
the music Of the opera at the Hay
market.
The book is full Of novel and
interesting matter, and will well
repay perusal.

Reports continue to be received
OF the increase Of placer mining
throughout all the Rocky Noun
tain and Pacific Coast regions.
Besides the companies which have
undertaken the opening Of new
workings or the revival of old ones
on an extensive scale,a large num-
Der Of prospectors and small work
ing parties are engaged in the
search for gold wherever favorable
prospects are found. No doubt
the revival will have its unfavor-
able features; from time to time
we shall hear of rushes to worth
less finds, and some of the workers
will find themselves at the end of
the season worse off than at its be-
ginning. The general results of
the movement, however, cannot
fail to be favorable, and will
doubtless be apparent in an in
crease Of the gold output this year,
while many miners will find en-
ployment which will at least ena-
BILE them to take care of them
selves, and few will realize com
Portable profits. A notable feature
is the reopening of old placers
abandoned because they did not
pay in flush times, but which viii
yield a profit under the closer and
more careful methods of working
and the lower rates Of wages and
profits now prevailing.

able for coinage. In this, how
ever, they seem to be mistaken, if
we may take the estimates of
Adolph Soetbeer, the eminent
political economist. Taking the
three decades from 1850 to 1880,
Soetbeer estimates that two-thirds
Of the total product we're available
for coinage, but that the amount
thus available decreased rapidly.
The amount diverted for use in
the arts was twice as much in the
second decade rs in the FIRST, and
in the third it was three times as
much. This SO rapidly reduced
the amount available for coinage
that in the third decade the COIN
age exceeded the amount used in
the arts only S25,000,0OO. Soet-
beer is high authority, and If his
estimates are trustworthy, the use
Of gold in the arts is growing 80
rapidly that it viii require a very
large increase in the total product
Of that metal to leave anything
worth speaking Of for coinage.
But admitting all that gold
monometallists claim in regard to
the amount Of gold available for
coinage, their argument against
bimetalEsm still is unsound. It
would not suffice to coin merely
as much gold as the aggregate
available annual product Of silver
and gold in tine years preceding
the demonetization of silver. That
might suffice to keep pace with
the demand caused by increase in
population, but it would not sup
Ply the place Of the silver which
has been demonetized. 1t is at
this point that gold monometallists
stumble. They forget that in all
the great commercial nations silver
has been deprived of its Office as
standard money. In the whole
world there are about S4,OO0,0O0,-
600 of silver money. For this gold
must be substituted, if the world
is to be put upon a gold basis.
It would take fifty years to make
the substitution, admitting that
there were SSO,OO0,OOO of gold
available for coinage annually,
and ignoring the demand arising
from increase in population and
expansion Of trade. But what
would the world do in those fifty
years2 And what assurance have
we that the product Of all the gold
mines will amount to S4,O0O,0O0,-
900 in addition to what will be
needed in the arts and for coinage
made necessary by increase in
population9 From the end Of
1850 to the end of 1880 the gold
product was only S3,72425O,OOO,
and that included tine greater part
of the output of the California and
Australian mines. 1t would re-
quire more than twice that amount,
or about SS,OOO,OOO,OOO, tS supply
the demand in the arts and leave
enough for annual coinage and the
substitution of geld for silver. No
well informed man believes that IN
the next fifty years the product
will be that great.-Denyer Re-

A DROWNED MANS SHIFT
August Melching was drowned in
the Codorous creek while swimming.
His body could not be found for
some time, when one of the search
ers suggested that his shirt be-
thrown into the water, claiming
that it would float to where the BODY
was. The suggestion was acted on
and the garment thrown into the
water where it was thought that he
bad disappeared. 1t instantly shot
out, then stopped, circled about
short time and in another moment
disappeared under the water.
A young man present on the
creeks bank then dived To where
the shirt was seen to sink and found
the body of the young man where
the shirt had disappeared. The
singularity of the incident consists
in the fact that the shirt was found
clinging TO the dead mans body.
Two gentlemen who were on OPP
posite sides of the creek at the time
this occurred corroborate the truth
fulness OF the incident. This gives
credence to the ancient idea that
the clothing of "a drowned man
when thrown into the water will
float to the body.
