Il BETTER YEAR.

The lifting tendency Of business is
again emphasized in the income ac
count of the railways of the United
States for the fiscal year 1896, as Of
ficially reported by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Gross earnings and dividends we're
both ahead of the figures for 1894 and
1895. The Improvement was not con-
fined in any particular section, but
was pretty well distributed all over
the United States. This is another
wholesome and encouraging indica-
ton. OF the $1,24, 600, 900 which the
railroads of the country earned, 1923,
46S, ,S91 came from passenger receipts
and S772, 200, 600 from freight receipts.
In other words, the passenger busi-
ness of our railroads amounts to less
than half the freight business. Ameri-
caus are famous travellers, but it is
their mighty commerce which chiefly
supports their vast rail transportation
system.
Mr.. Edward Atkinson in an article
in Bradstreet's estimates the annual
value of our home trade at $50, 900, :
100000. This is more than ten times
the total foreign commerce of the
British Empire.

Brazil's population is sparse, in
point!of size, is magnificent. She is
credited with about 100000 people,
in area she is bigger than all Europe,
leaving out Spain and the British Isles.
Unfortunately her capital, though
possessing one of the most capacions
and beautiful harbors in the world,
is a pest hole. The constitution of
the new republic provides for chang
ing it's location. The commission Sc
lected for this purpose is reported to
have fixed on site northwest of Rio
Janeiro, eighteen hours by rail in
board, on plateau 1000 feet high.
The temperature of the spot is said to
resemble that of middle France. If
this site is adopted, an important step
will be taken towards opening up and
developing the interior of the coun-
try, now covered with dense forests
and jungle growth.

Bourke Cochran said in his Boston
speech that the Bryan movement
s'was an uprising against law, against

through the enjoyment Of the pros
perity which their industry might
create.'' There will be various rea-
sons given why this shoe may happen
to pinch when tried on.

The wheat crop of Australia is so
short that instead of exporting H.,
100000 bushels, as usual, this year
that country will have to import more
than 5000, 900 bushels In order to
supply the crop deficiency. There
will be considerable profit for this
country in the misfortune to Aus
tralia. The wheat crop has also been
failure in India, and throughout
Europe is much shorter than usual;
therefore the chief part of Australia's
deficiency will be supplied by our
wheat growers, who will also be call
ed upon to make good part of the

Gen. Grout has SO far modified his
orders in regard to the selection of
postmasters in his district to let the
preferences in regard to the larger,
the so called presidential offices, be
made by petition. The smaller Offices
are to be filed by parties whom the.
patrons of the respective postoffices
may select at caucus called for that
purpose. He issues a new circular
giving full details and explanations in
regard to the caucus. We believe
the petition method best for the large
offices. The congressional delegation
understands the condition of matters
in all large towns aud knows the ap-
plicants who make application for
the places. 1t might happen in many
cases that some man who would be
very popular on petition or in a
caucus would make very poor post
master. Sometimes an unbiased ont
side party can decide better for
US than we can for ourselves. There
might be times when certain post
master would put his Office in an un-
desire able location for the main bus
mess of town or village, majority
of his caucus friends residing in that
location, catering to their de-
sires rather than to the general inter
ests of the public.

Among all the politicians, Senator
Hill perhaps excepted, Platt of New
York has received the most abuse, or
more mildly, censure, from men and
the press Of both parties. And yet
he has been great power in the
politics of the state. The other day
the republicans nominated him in
Legislative caucus for u. S. senator
and few days later he received an
almost unanimous vote of the repub
licans of that great state, and was
elected by great majority to sue
ceed Senator Hill. Since that time
there has been great reception and
meeting held in his honor at which
most leading republicans of the state
and many others from without the
state attended. The facts show one
or two things, perhaps two, one that
Platt is a great political boss, and
second, that he is man of great
ability. No pigmy could control the
respect and the power of the republi-
can party of New York. It is to be
hoped that he will make as honor
able, as he will be able, senator, and
that he will be a credit to his consti-
tuents and the country.
