is interpreted by one party to mean
simply the watering Of stock. They
know that in certain cases the Sc
curitieS of railroad companies in
clude millions of dollars of stock
or of bonds which donot represent
actual value to the road. The era
of railroad construction and railroad
speculation that prevailed in this
country was prolific of such opera
tons. We are passing out of it now,
and the reorganization of railroad
business in general is made doubly
difficult by the existence of these
obligations which do not represent
actual capital invested, and which
cannot, Notwithstanding be separat-
ed easily from those which do. But
we are inclined to think that a large
share of the railroad problem and a
larger part of what is termed
over-capitalization are the necessary
consequences of industrial changes.
They are, indeed, only one side of
that great fact which is the sub
ject of so much controversy and
which consists in a general decline
of prices.
1t is stated that a railroad which
is constructed today can earn a
good revenue on actual cost
of construction by imposing
only the lowest rates in
force. That may be true enough,
but the railroads in existence were
not constructed today or yesterday
or last year. Most of those which
are in difficulties date from a time
when the materials required for con-
struction had to be purchased at
prices out of all comparison with
those that now prevail The rail-
road built during the past two
years, when steel rails were at bot
tom figures and labor was seeking
for employment at starvation wages,
could carry freight at rates that
would bankrupt a competing road
built thirty years ago, or even ten
years ago, although every dollar rep
resented by the stock and bonds
Of the latter might have been hon
estly expended. The problem of rail-
road earnings and railroad manage
ment at the present day is to adjust
rates and earnings, which are reck-
oned on a basis of a period of low
prices, to the payment of interest
and dividends on a cost of construc-
ton which is measured by a period
of high prices. These conditions are
so different that it is exceedingly
difficult to maintain a given agree
ment by those who are subject to
them. The railroad, like every 9TH
er form of industry, must bear the
loss of depreciation that follows a
reduction of prices. But no CORE
spending reduction is made usually
in its capitalization. To make and
maintain rates to fit the changed sit
uation is as difficult a matter from
the side Of the managers as to obtain
a reasonable rate has proved to be
from the side of the people.

general prosperity. People were in
terested in the silver question mostly
because they were almost crushed
beneath the weight of business
losses. Looking about them for
remedy and a way of escape, they
were told that their misfortunes had
followed a change in our currency
system, and would cease if the free
coinage of silver were restored.
Some of them believed it, and most
of them were willing to chance it.
They have seen within the last
three months a surprising and SPLEEN
did recovery in all lines of business,
and they have reason to feel that
this will be one of the most prosper
GUS years of their experience. One
thing they know. Whatever may be
the merits of the silver. question,
this grateful change in their fortunes
has come about without any change
in the currency whatever. The prop
osition, therefore, that the country
suffered its reverSeS because it did
not have free coinage is effectually
overthrown. With it disappears it's
companion, the assertion that good
times could not return until silver
stood on an exact equality with gold
in our currency system. Their con-
clusion is that the question is large
ly an academic one. The moment
that they ceased to believe that it
affected intimately and disastrously
their daily life, that moment it be-
came to a majority of them of as
little practical interest as the prac-
tice of vivisection or the possibility
OF reaching the north pole by bal
loon.
This is why they have lost their
interest in the Horr-Harvey debate.
The majority of men are intensely
practical. They can be held to a
study of an abstraction like the sill
yer question only while they believe
that it is bound up with their pres
ent daily interests. They see now
that this one is not. They do not
believe or imagine, but they know.
that we can have prosperous times
without any change in our currency
whatever. AS a consequence, they
have left the two gentlemen at Chi
cago to spar by themselves, and
have gone sensibly to work to re-
store their broken fortunes and re-
pair their reverses. If the Horn
Harvey debate had been held a year
ago, nothing else would have been
talked about from one end of the
country to the other AS it is, it
has begun and ended with only a
tribute Of popular Indifference and
inattention. Those who have taken
the trouble to follow it throughout
are obliged to say that it has not
added anything of value to the ar
gument on the silver question.

Hardly Grand Larceny.

The Arkansas supreme court has
rendered a decision in a hog stealing
case in which one or two new points

the case. John Button was indicted
Tor stealing hog and afterward eating
part of the pork. knowing it was
stolen. Among other charges to the
jury the judge Of the lower court said
that if they believed from the evidence
that Button did eat a part of the pork
knowing it was stolen, they should find
the accused guilty of grand larceny.
The jury found Button guilty and he
was sentenced to the pen. The supreme
court reversed the decision and re-
manded for new trial because it was
not known on what count the jury
found him guilty, and if it was for eat
ing part of the stolen hog it must be
shown that he ate $40 worth, the
amount person must steal to make
the offense that of grand larceny.

DENVER, Col, July 3O-Joseph T.

GOOD TIME TO BUY.
Coal Scores "a Drop of Seventy
Five Cents n Ton

The coal barons' combine, which was
formed early this spring with the sew
eral objects of maintaining the high
price of coal and making purchasers
pay cash for it ION the NALL" is in a
sickly way with evident signs of
speedy dissolution. Consumers of an
thrac1te did not make the expected
wild rush to buy on the prescribed
terms, prompted in their reserve by a
hope of better things and a fairly high
range in the summer thermometer.
yesterday the coal dealers seem to have
come come to a proper appreciation
OF the state Of things unsa tisfactory to
them and announced their capitulation
by placarding their windows with the
announcement that coal would be sold
at S6.25 per ton until further notice.
This is a clear and sudden drop of IS
cents ton and a good thing for the
buyers. The dullness of the market
probably led some of the dealers to
cut prices in a quiet way in order to
obtain business, and this being found
out the cut became general. 1t may
not last long and makes this a good
time to buy.

AFT TERMATH OF CHRISTMAS,

Christmas Trees, Dinings, Masquer-

The holidays have come and gone,
and we are virtually launched out
on the voyage OF another year,
although the calendar tells us the
year does not end until the close of
the month, and the beginning of
January, 1896.
The merry making was ushered
in on the oath, and there were many
places to go to IN the city.
The Episcopalians had Christ
mas tree for the Sunday School,
and distributed the usual Christmas
cards and fruits to the children.
The 4th Street Methodist Church
had a nice tree, with a snow storm,
old-fashioned chimney and Santa
Claus. The little ones of the mem
bership of the church all received a
present and went away happy.
Many parties and private sup
pers were held in various portions
of the city, and the air was filled
with Roman candles and sky rock
cts, and the noise of the cannon
cracker.
We are panied to learn that
Thomas Murray had the misfortune
to lose three of his fingers by pre-
mature explosion of cannon crack
er, in his hand. Mr.. Murray had
previously lost an arm, and this af-
fiction will come doubly hard on
him.
Henry Dean and Miss Daisy
Church were married on Christmas
eve at the brides residence.
The day (25thD was ushered in by
a bright sun, which was out and

warming the atmosphere, making
it pleasant and agreeable to all who
walked or rode over the city.
