A few days ago the Journal commented
on case of lynch law in a town not many
miles from New York evidence of the re-
crudescence of the wild and wooly East
Further and even more startling evidence
is furnished by the occurrence of a case of
whitecapisrn within the city limits of New
York. The New York Tribune of the 9Th
inst. says: "An effigy dangled from a tele-
graph pole in front of No. 40 Cherry street
yesterday morning, and across the front
of the figure was a placard reading. The
gypsy must go. BY order of the Cherry
Hill White Caps" The gypsy who was
thus warned to leave one Morgan
Phillips, an old man of seventy-six years,
who, with his wife and dog, had lived in a
tent on a vacant lot. Two weeks ago his
wife died and the old man became nearly
crazy with grief The neighbors had never
seen one of their kind take on so. and
they concluded he was not a safe person to
have about, hence the warning. The New
York papers have not made any editorial
comment on this case, but If they should
conclude to do so the Journal would suggest
that they do the White Caps Of the wild
and woolly West the justice to say that
they never punish a man for grieving un-
duly over the loss of his wife.

RAILROAD BANKRUPTCY.

Mr. Simon Sterne of New York. who for
years has been in a position to become ia
miliar with railroad affairs, takes rather
more pages of the March Forum than seem
necessary to tell it's readers the causes
which have led to the failures of one-sixth
Jan. 1, $685. representing a capital of $780,
100000. The gross earnings during the year
1898 were but per cent. below those Of 1892.
Some roads suffered more than per cent,
and IT may be assumed that those lines
which experienced the greatest shrinkage
were those which have passed into the
hands of receivers. Nevertheless when an
average shrinkage of per cent. in gross
try's railroad mileage into the hands of
ceivers, 1t is very evident that they do not
carry such reserve as banks and many
manufacturing establishments carry to tide
them over the shallow years. This fact
shows that the bulk of the railroads Of the
country require the revenues of the best
years to make small margins between earn
ings and expenses.
One of the causes of railroad disasters &C.
cording to Mr.. Sterne, Is lack of capacity
on the part of managers. There are able
railroad managers. but the supply has not
kept pace with the demand. But the most
serious cause. in his opinion. is found in the
prevailing condition of overcapitalization.
Not only are many railroads capitalized far
beyond their cost value. but many of
them carry a bonded indebtedness greatly
in excess of original cost or present value
Railroads have, in many instances. been
constructed from the proceeds of bonds
sold at discount, with stocks thrown in as
bonus. While the road was being built
the bonds, thus sold, were drawing an in
terest which must have been paid from the
principal. Before the trains were running
such roads were burdened with fixed
charges, which for long time, If ever, can
nections and Improvements have to be made
and equipments must be renewed, for which
more bonds are issued Thus all the while
the capitalization has increased to the ex
tent that even the earnings of ordinary
years are not sufficient to pay the interest
on the bonded debt. A majority of the rail-
roads which went into the hands of re-
ceivers during 1893 cannot earn enough to
pay the interest on the bonded debt one
year with another, which means that they
bonded for more than their real value.
Most corporations which go into the
hands of receivers, if their affairs cannot
be wound up. are disposed of at prices SO
reduced that the purchaser can make some
thing by running them: but Mr.. Sterne says
that in too many cases receiverships con-
tinue bad management, and reorganza ton
takes place. which takes the roads out of
the receivers hands with more waste than
the load which forced them to bankruptcy
in the first case.

White Financial Sepulchres.

With some very few exceptions, which
ii were invidiouS to name, but which all in
the railway world know as such exceptions,
the railway corporations of the United
States literally live from hand to mouth,
and have no working or reserve capital
whatever, although their business requires
it more than any other. The railways are
capitalized for much more than they are
worth Usually the bonded Indebtedness,
car-trust certificates. equipment and ter
mnal securities, taken at par, represent q
value in excess of the cost of the road,
and upon them fixed interest is compul-
sorily payable. Hence, whatever the road
earns upon actual cost must, unless Ii ex-
coed say per cent, be paid out annually
in the shape of interest alone.
