herded in the tramp room. which was so
completely filled that many were
obliged to sleep, some in sitting postures

Another Tempest.

The mayor is again in d~isfavor, and
all because his dignity will not allow
him to walk along the routine path of
council rules and regulations. He
wanted to make a number of changes
IN his office, and so, without consulting
the committee on building, the commit
tee which has charge of all such work,
he ordered the workmen to ONE in and
do damage to the extent of $500. Now
the members of the committee are
wroth, for they see that the mayor has
violated an ordinance. They maintain
that, no matter whether he be MAYOR or
president, he should uphold the regu-
lations of the city, and allow matters TO
go through their proper channel.

Italy,s Improbable Railways.

The Corriere della Sea has just pub
lished an article on the Italian rail-
ways which says that, "out Of the 62
lines worked by the Mediterranean COM
pany, there are % which are worked at
a loss and some whose expenses amount
to more than twice as much as their re-
ceipts. Many of these lines-the princi-
pal ones indeed-are now 10 or 20 years
old, and yet are always in this disas-
trous condition. The investment Of cap
ital here is disastrous, because instead
of gaining interest the investor has to
make continual grave sacrifices Of money
without even any indirect benefit to the
regions were the lines pass. And what
is said of the Mediterranean company
may be said of all the companies Of
Italy"
To this dark picture will only add
that the railway debt Of Italy is nearly
5 milliards, and that the annual railway
deficit is not less than 200, 900, 900 lire,
or more than the actual cost Of the
army, which, when the expenses Of pub
lie security are deducted, is only about
100, 900, 900.
