No Better in the Country.
Tie Good Work ofthe Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Ia 1898.


The b. & o. r. r., the pioneer of
the American Railway System, has
of recent years been renewing its
youth, so to speak. and attracting to
its lines a constantly increasing share
of the passenger traffic ceaselessIy
passing between tue cities of the At
lantic scaboard and the great Missis-
sippi Valley. As an evidence of this
fact it may be stated that its revenue
from passenger traffic was 81 ,262, 600
in 1858, while for the fiscal year end
ed June Both, 1898, it rose to &c.
61S, 200, being gain of over fifty-five
per cent. in the last five years. It
will be noted that the last fiscal year
ended June Both, and that the heavy
business to the Worlds Fair is not
included in the figures, but will go
TO swell the gross receipts of the ifs
cal year ending June Both, 1894 No
road in America has had greater ex-
peTience than the B. 6 o. in handling
large volumes of passenger business,
and is able 10 do it better Every
four years it is called upon to trans
port the enthusiastic thousands from
the East, North and West to and
from the presidential inaugurals, and
it broke all previous records by its
work during the grand Army en-
campment at Washington, in 1892.
Thus prepared by its past experience
the B. & o. was in position to take
good care of the multitudes travelling
to Chicago during the Worlds Fair,
and while it probably carried to and
from Chicago greater number OF
people than any other road of equal
mileage, it is gratifying to be able tc
state that not single Worlds Fair
traveller was killed on the B. & o.
system Baltic. american, Dec. 81.

Mr.. John o. Caster, author of
-Four Years in the StouewaIl Bri-
gade," writes the Gettysburg Star
and Sentinel an interesting letter in
regard 10 the recent trip of 8Ir. w.
S. Merchant and himselfto that place.
In one paragraph Mr. easier says:
I'VE were on this ground thirty
years ago and were highly entertained

neither killed, wounded or captured.
But on this trip we were helplesslv
captured never to be exchanged and

Lieut.. Gov. Percy Daniels of Kansas IS
sued circular Saturday, which he has
sent broadcast over the State, calling
upon the citizens of every school district
to hold meetings next Saturday evening
to protest against the proposed issue OF
government bonds by the secretary OF
the treasury. With the circular, which
argues against the necessity for the pro-
posed issue, is resolution, which the
meetings are called upon TO consider and
act upon. This resolution protests
against the issue Of any bonds for any
purpose, and calls upon the Kansas men,
bers of Congress to make an effort to
pass an act providing that the principal
and interest of all bonds issued after
January 1, 1895, shall be paid from the
proceeds of tax levied upon the property
and estates of milliouaries. The career
of Daniels and the r,st of the Populist
government is pretty near it's end, but he
evidently intends to go down with col
ors flying.

1t seems Senator Sherman has recently
been the victim of one of the New York
Worlds reporters, whom the Senator in
a letter repudiating some statements he
put into his mouth, characterizes as a
"young man with little brains and no
honesty" The interviewer reported the
Senator as denouneing the Mckinley bill,
whereas as matter of fact he did no
such thing. The Senator says he voted
for the bill, and in the main approved
of it, though he believed its free list
was too large.

the census bureau. AS compared with
1880, it appears that there has been a net
increase in the number of occupying
owners of farms-farms worked by the
owners-of 158, 951, while the number of
tenant families has increased by 500, 337.
In other words tenancy has increased in
the past ten years out of all proportion
to the incr ease in the number of farm
families or farms. In New England there
was a net decrease in the numb 'of
occupying owners of "a. III, and an in
crease of 7246 in the number of tenants,
and the Middle and central Western
States show like drift.
