compared with the number on June 80,

Railroad Statistics.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-The seventh
statistical report Of the interstate COM
msrce commission for the year ending
June 30, 1894, has just been submitted.
In the introduction especial attention
is called to the peculiar conditions az
fecting the operation Of Of railways dur
ing the year. First, the report covers
thelRst four months OF the Columbian
exposition during which time there was
an increased passenger traffic. Second,
it covers q period Of widespread and un-
pEecedented business depression. Third,
on June 30, 1894, l92 roads operating
upward of $4,000 miles Of hne and rep
resenting about one fourth Of the total
railway capitalization, were in the hands
OF receivers. Toe effect of these cOndi-
tions is apparent in nearly all Of the fig
ures presented.
The total railway mileage in the
United States on June 30, 1894, was
178,708, an increase during the year of
2,247. The increase during the previous
year was 1897. The percentage Of In
crease during 1894 was less than for any
preceding year for which reports have
been made to the commission, and 1t 10
not probable the year ending June 30,
1895, will show much improvement.
The number of roads abandoned was
sixteen. The total mileage Of all tracks
was 233 533 miles.
The total number Of railway corpora
tiops on June 30, 1894, was 1924, an in
crease during the year Of twenty-five.
The number Of roads not in opera ton
was seventy-sevsn. The movement OF
consolidation during the year on the bs-
sis Of mileage involved has been great
est in four years previous. Fifteen roads,
representing 1734 miles, have been
merged; % roads, representing 1882
miles, have been reoTganlzsd and IA
roads, representing 1880 miles, shave
been consolidated. A classification Of
railways on the baSis Of operated mile
age shows that "A roads, each with 3
mileage of over 1000 miles, operate 1OO,-

Utilizing the New Land Law.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-MillionB and
millions Of acres Of lands are to be- added
to the great homestead sores of the
West, The last congress enacted Law
providing that she general government
shall donate to each stSts in which there
are arid lands / million acres Of such
lands on the condition that she rsClRmR-
ton is done by the states. Already
Idaho and Wyoming have complied with
all the formRlities Of the law and have
taken steps towards securing the mill
lion acres OF land within their borders.
Lieutenant Governor Miles OF Idaho
and E. Meade Of Wyoming, both en-
gineers, are here to complete the final ar
rsngoments. Their mission promises to
be very successful, for they are receiving
from Land Commissioner LSmOresux
the most cordial CO. operation.
"The steps which are now being taken
TO transform an immense section Of arid
country into fertile and fruitful fields"
said the commissioners, twill, without
doubt, be most far reaching in its effect.
Under the new law, however, tho state Is
to sell the lands in sections Of not over
16O acres to any one person for such
price as can bs obtained, The govern.
ment retains possession for Eve years,
and if at the end OF that time she re-
Clamation appears to be permanent the
title to the land passes TO the state and
thence to the settler. This means homes
and farms for multitude Of people"

whom lack Of work and opportunity have
made outcasts and beggars. At the
other end we find that q few thousand
families own half the wealth Of the
country. The Capitalization Of wealth
has gone hand in hand with the spread
Of poverty. The pauper and the pluto
Crat are twin children Of the same vi
Cious and unholy system. The situS-
tiOn ia full Of menace 10 the liberties

can be no restoration Of prosperity, no

STABLE MONEY.

STABLE MONEY
We believe In a money Of stable value.
We believe, least Of all, in an sppEsoist-
ing standard. It Is only through the
practical operation Of bimetallism that
stable standard Of value can DO &C.
cured. A standard constituted Of
money constantly increasing in value 10
not sound, single nor q double stan
dsrd, but constantly Changing stand
ard. The effect Of gold monomstsllism
is to establish one standard for the cred
itor and another for the debtor, and
Ehere can be no more dishonest none
tsry system than one which gives short
measure to the borrower and long
measure to the lender Under the pol
icy prevailing prior to 1873 there can be
no violent change in the relative value
Of the two metals, for a raise in value in
one metal Is countersCtsd by a de-
creased demand and q fall in value by
increased demand.
Under the operations Of this bsnsfi-
cent law q stable relation was main
tanned between them in spite Of the
most extreme changes in relative pro-
duCtions. From the earliest period Of
our history up TO 1873 the right Of the
debtor to choose whether he should pay
his debts in silver or gold coin was al.
ways recognized. The subsequent pol
icy has been TO transfer this right to the
creditor, thus tending to constantly In
crease the value Of the dssrer metal and
destroy the parity between them.
Believing it is absolutely necessary to
reverse this iniquitous and ruinOus poll
ICY, we, therefore,
Resolve, That we favor the immediate
restoration Of silver to it's former place
az full legsl-tendsr standard money,
equal with gold, and the free and unlim-
tied coinage of both silver and gold at |
the ratio OF 16 to / and upon terms Of |
exact equality.

Kansas never had q public official
whose discharge Of public duty has been
more satisfactory than that of Bank
Commissioners Breidenthal. We hazard
nothing in saying that tNis Ia the opin-
ion Of 80 per cent Of the Legitimate

his official duties, The supreme court
has decided that his term Of Office has
not yet expired. The report was In the

would stoop TO such objectionable folly,
nor do we bslieve that Secretary Bis

to a newspaper correspondent. II he
did, Mr.. BristOW talks altogether TOO
