A PROMISING PROSPECT
RAILWAYS BEGIN THE FISCAL YEAR
UNDER FAVORABLE AUSPICES.
Ex-PubIic officials Worrying Railway
Managers I'm the Matter of Free
TransportatiOn-Rai Notes.

The general tenor of remarks of freight
and passenger officials yesterday was that
the railways begin the fiscal year under q
much more favorable condition than the
year which ended with June 80. The CROP
outlook could hardly be more favorable
and there is yet considerable portion OF
last years crop of corn to be marketed
In nearly all lines of business there has
been more or less Improvement of late
Manufacturers are shipping more goods
than at any time in the last two years. and
at present unquestionably freight rates are
better maintained than at any time in some
years. Passenger rates. however, are some
what demoralized, but by the 1st Of Sep
TENDER the new rules regarding mileage
will be ia effect, and instead of 60 per cent
of the business being carried on a 2-cents-a-
mile basis but Is per cent. will be carried
at that rate, which was the usual proper
ton before the Generalization set in. The
last three months, had business been car
ried on its usual conditions, the passenger
earnings would have been much more ia
Vorable. On nearly every road in the Cen
trail Traffic Association territory freight
earnings the last three months have been
in excess of those of the corresponding
months last year, while passer ger earnings
have shown a falling off as compared with
last year. In speaking of this matter yes
terday an official said: The passenger Off
Gals have come to see that something must
be done to stop the manipulating Of pas
senger rates and the presidents have given
them to understand that business must be
carried at better rates or some changes
may be looked for among the passenger
officials, as in the last few years eXpendi-
lures have been large in order TO get road
beds and equipments up to standard and
now 1t is time to see better results"
The various lines in announcing summer
excursions are adhering more strictly to the
agreements between passenger officials, and
rates. as in the case OF the Niagara Falls
excursions, have been fixed so as to pre-
vent the usual decentralization following the
running of such excursions. There are to
be a number of excursions to Eastern sea-
board points, but the rate leaves something
to the roads which haul these eXcursionists,
and as all competing lines are TO share in
this class Of business ii is thought no bad
results will follow. The rate to Buffalo for
the q. A. r. people has been fixed salts
factOrily to ali parties, consequently the
usual trouble over this business will be
avoided. The conditions under which the
roads enter the new fiscal year are such as
10 lead TO the belief that in the next twelve
months lines will do a heavier business
than in the last year and carry both
freights and passengers on better paying
rates,

Yesl they are here again, the long. long days.
After tie days Of winter, pinched and white,
Soon, with thousand MINISTRIES, comes the
light,
Late the sweet robin-haunted dusk delays.
But the long days that bring us back the flowers.
The sunshine ana the Quiet~dripping rain,
And all the things knew of spring again.
The long days bring US not the long-lost hours.
The hours that seem 10 have been each one
A simmer in itself, whole ufes bound,
Tuled fun OF deathless toy-Where in his round
Have these forever faded from the sun?
The fret the fever the unrest endures
Bat TIE time flies. oh. try, my little lad
Coraiug so not and payworn, to be glad
And patient OF the long hours that are yonrsl

The executive committee of the Western
