THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILR3AE REPORT

The annual report of the Pennsylvania
Railroad is always of the highest interest
as an index of the general business con-
dition of the country, says the Philadelphia
Times. Last years report reflected the
commercial depressions of 1894, but it al
SO showed how great corporation, sub
stantially organized and skilfully con-
ducted could so adjust Itself to actual
conditions as to suffer no loss, even when
its gains were curtailed. The report just
published is significant of a gradual re-
turn to normal conditions. The earnings
are larger and there has been a relaxation
of enforced economies; the stockholders
have had their dividends and substantial
profit has been carried to the surpluS.
The lines east of Pittsburg show gain
| of q per cent. in freight traffic over the
previous year, and not only has the equip
ment been largely increased, but the work
of improvement, in raightening the line.
elevating the tracks and making needed
extensions, has been resumed, to the great
advantage both of the road and of the
public The lines west of Pittsburg also
show a substantial profit Il great improve
ment over last year, and attributable in
part to the revival of the iron industries.
1t is interesting to note that the compe-
tition of the electric railways it still evil
dent upon the suburban lines, though not
to such an extent as last year. There is a
decrease of not quite three per cent. in
the number of passengers carried on the
eastern lines, but the average distance
travelled by each passenger increased by
one mile, showing that the falling off is
altogether in the short trips, which are
not the most profitable.
One great advantage in these reports is
! their clearness. That is partly. of course,
because the company has no complicated
debt accounts to confuse all but the eX-
pert. But almost any corporation could
| take lesson from Mr. Roberts in simpli-
city and directness of statement, and its
easy intelligibility is another thing that
makes the Pennsylvania report particu-
larly valuable to the student of general
business conditions

''Advices from Washington agree in
presenting the attitude Of the Presi-
dent as undecided in regard to the de-
mand for belli9erent rights to the rev
dictionary Cuban. SAYS the Philadel-
phia Times. \ $ concurrent resolutions
passed by both branches of Congress
are not mandatory upon the President
it is possible that he he NAV not pro
claim belligerent rights to the Cubans
until Congress shall take more definite
action Oh the subject. The fact that
Congress has passed resolutions in IA
vor of according belligerent rights to
the Cubans by next to unanimous
vote in both branches. should he re-
garded by the President as Il command.
1t so clearly expresses the will Of the
sovereign people of the nation that I'M

sive reasons against the recognition of

In a recent editorial the Baltimore
Sun used the following language:
The game which a certain class of
republican politicians who have been
lifted into power are trying with the
people of Maryland at the present junct-
ure is strikingly like what is popular
IL known as ''bunko game or if the
comparison seems offensive, it may be
varied-a '.tlim-ham game, ora green
goods game. They amount to pretty
much the same thing. and if the game
succeeds. the republican party in Mary
land is likely to 90 down, not into his
tory. but into oblivion and contempt as
green goods party. They promised
the people of Maryland bread-the
clean. wholesome and nutritious bread
of civilservice reform. Apparently
they mean to fulfill their promise by
giving the people a stone, or the usual
bricks wrapped in paper and hay, which
the gullible countryman receives who
invests his good money with Il green
goods operator.
This is not a nice position for a pol
itical party to find itself ina party
which, undoubtedly, numbers honorable
and intelligent men among its adher-
ents. Yet in the House of Delegates
at Annapolis, as in the City Council OF
Baltimore. the men who are not asham-
ed to practice the tactics of the green
goods or confidence operator appear
to lie just now conspicuously i'll evi,
dence Whether the decent. honorable
respectable element in the republican
party is strong enough to slough these
fellows off and to save the party itself
from the shame of proving false to
every pledge and promise Of reform
upon which it gained the confidence OF
the people last fall, is question which
ought to interest such republicans more
than anybody else.

time he was the most prominent physician
i'll Portland, and one Of the most liberal

the people there, and great regret was eX-
pressed when about seven years ago on
account of impaired health he retired from
practice, and sought a more congenial eli

He impressed all who saw him as being
