The RAILROAD BUSINESS
HAS HAD A VERY PROSPEROUS
YEAR.
1O,1o0 Locomotives Built In 1905 Against
COS In 1904 Large Number of Cars
Constructed Mileage OF New
Roads Fall on.

New York, Dec. 26.-The Railroad Ca
zette has gathered records which show
that all of the 10 locomotive building COM
panies In the United States except one,
built more locomotives In 1895 than in
1894 and the total number of engines built
foots up to 10,109 against sos in the pre-
vious year. The number of engines built
in the five preceding years 1894 was never
less than 1000 in any one year.
Reports from the car building companies
show that that industry has also taken
an upward turn, the output of the con-
tracing shops being 1888 freight cars
as against 17,029 built in 1894
The new railroad construction in this
country in 1894 was reported at 1900 miles
and that seemed TO be as low Il record as
was likely to be again made. But the
total for this year Is about 300 miles less
than that, being 1923 miles, according to
the Railroad Gazette
The largest amount of new track laid
in any one state was in Texas, which built
1877 miles OF new road. In the Indian Ter
ritory 1i1 miles of new railroad was built
during the year. No other State built
100 miles of road, Pennsylvania with n
total OF 81 miles, being third in the list.
Maine follows Pennsylvania with 50
miles. Nine other States built so or more
miles of road each. These are Ohio, with
~. West Virginia, CO; Georgia, 6s; Cali
fornia and Arizona, &C; New York, Mis-
souri,. Oklahoma, and Michigan. 60 miles

THE NEGRO WAS TOO SPRY.
A CROWD OF LYNCHsRS Fooled IN
THEIR ATTEMPTS.
A Petty Thief ives Caught and Hung But
breaks the Cords Which Bound His
Hands and Cuts Himself
Down and Escapes.

ST. Louis, Dec. 30.-An attempt to lynch
negro thief was made this morning in
Union Market in the heart of the down

saw negro with two blankets stepping
away from the market. They raised the
cry of stop Thief" The negro dropped
the blankets and ran and the gave chase
and captured him. The cry of Lynch
him. went up. There is a block and tackle
fastened to tho ceiling of the market,
used to swing the ice blocks up to their
reception. This caught tho eye OF the
mob.
The rope was adjusted about the ne
Sro's neck and he quit struggling and be-
gan TO pray. A score of hands caught
the other end of the rope. There was a
strong pull and the negros feet left the
floor. His tongue protruded from be-
tween his teeth and his eyes stared Wild
ly In another minute he would have been
dead man but with a quick Jerk of his
arms he broke the cord that bound them.
His hand went into his pocket and brought
out knife with which he cut the rope.
The negro dropped to the ground and es-
capped before the crowd could prevent him.

THE NEED OF NERVE.
(From the Detroit TrlbuneO

What we need first, last, and all the time
IL a lot OF good nerve. We think we are
brave to clap our hands when the president
Issues his note of defiance. We think We
are brave when in the persons of our rep
resentatives in Congress we hurl Great
Britain's threats back at her. We think
we are brave when we twist the lions tail
with our rhetoric, and perhaps we are.
But we shall have to he Drawer before We
are through with the war. II war there be
We need enough nerve to see the great
city of New York laid In ashes from the
shells of a British fleet without fiinching
from the position we have taken. We need
enough nerve to see the union jack rise
over the ruins OF the capitol at Washing
ton as 1t did In 1913, and not recede by the
breadth of o hair from our contention. We
need nerve enough TO see oui sources of
revenue utterly closed by a blockade OF
our ports, and still hold to our rights as
the president has defined them. We need
enough nerve TO fortify us while the taxes
of treasure and OF life are exGcted from us
to support our government In Its struggle.
We need such nerve as VIII never desert
us as long as there Is q man left to fire a
gun against the enemy
We cannot stop TO take counsel of our
fears. From end TO end of our Atlantic
coast there Is not a fort that Is capable of
defending It's port against the assault of
n British fleet. All told, we can marshal
but slender squadron of war ships to
engage the force the mistress of the seas
VIII send hither But no matter. The
prospects are that we shall suffer great re-
verses in the beginning. but II Is worth
while to know II we are a nation or simply
the occasional residence of peripatetic
foreigners. We think We are n nation.

The Shawls of Kash MIR.

The beautiful arts and manufactures OF

source of wealth. But this wealth docs
not for the most part Ill tho pockets of tho
artisans. Tho trade is almost entirely in
the hands Of fcw large firms. These re-
ceivo the profit, whilo the workers get only
q fixed and very low wage. have visited
tho shawl manufactures. They are very
curious places. Tho delicate shawls that
used to DO so fashionable arc made almost
in the open air and mostly by boys of ~
or IL. Tho looms aro set up in rough
wooden Sheds open on three sides, and
tho boys sit close together. In front Of

dirty little scrap of paper. These are most
laconic-"Thrco red, five white, ono blue"
that is all. Tho looms might have como

who can introduce machinery into Kash-
mir.
The more elaborate patterns take an OK
traordinary time to mako-three years Is
not thought too long for a good shawl,
and one days work Is practically invisi
BILE. Another odd arrangement Is that tho
best shawls are made In q great number of

A CURE OF OUR FINANCIAL ILL

A CURE OF OUR FINANCIAL ILLS.
(Mr Adolf Ladcnburg, in the Jan FORUM
The crying need of this country. as Mr.
Paul Leroy-Beauleau so ably pointed out
in his remarkable paper in the December
Forum is n stable unit. one this need Is
provided for, the next important step Is
the Capitalization of our banking system
so as TO increase our bank balance money,
mako 1t elastic according to the require
ments of commerce, and thus act as
financial regulator and safety-valve TO
modify or prevent the frequent and vio-
lent fluctuations TO which we are now sub
iect. This Capitalization, / think, can
best be brought about by careful develop
ment of our clearinghouse system, in
such a manner that the now disconnected
banks of this country shall mutually unite
for certain purposes and eventually form
a National clearinghouse Bank, which
would act for this country somewhat in
the same manner as the great central
banks of England France, and Germany.
The issuance of clearinghouse certili-
Gates in New York, Chicago. Boston, and
PHILADELPHIA, by moderating the recent
panic, prevented n general financial col
lapse and 1t has certainly demonstrated
the benefit of Joint action. Why not,
therefore, legalize what IL acknowledged
TO be a necessity for the public good, and
extend the system until every bank in the
country Is n member of such "a clearing
house combination. and by such union
give the Individual bank the strength
which II now lacks-safely to supply the
money now needed by trade for legiti-
mate purposes? This would produce
more money" more and safer than any
of tho other more money prescriptions
1t would be the ideal "elactic currency"
1t would even TO large extent operate
as Il natural antitrust law, for 1t would
give comparatively greater facilities to
the merchant and manufacturer for legl-
innate requirements than to speculative
individuals and corporations. 1t would
materially help in solving all other tnan-
cial questions, and would deprive the
gold shipment" bugaboo Of many OF It's
terrors. Ours is the richest country In
the world We should be and can be the
most powerful nation financially and every
other way; but, to accomplish this. we
must dispel all doubt as to our financial
unit, we must centralize our banking
system and We must manage our finances
on scientific principles.
