The principal comment has been on
the illness OF 30 many soldiers on ac-
count OF the unhealthy condition OF tbs
camping places. The public is fero.
eiously seeking some one to blame. In
such cases 1t is generally necessary to
start at the head and trace the matter to
the proper place. Mr.. Aiger from the
pTesen; outlook will have to father more
than anyone else. In this matter the
government has been very lax and gross'
~ negligent. An individual who would
do likewise won be tarred and feather

shows that last year the railways OF the
country paid $4o, ,97s. .9sS in taxes. All
companies had not reported, but COM
pared with the preceding year the re"
port shows that on about coo miles
less of road in 1897 than in 1896 the rail-
ways paid about 5000, 900 more TAGS.
The total dividends paid during the year
were $57, go $40. Out OF every 81 cents
earned by the railways therefore, above
expenses, 81 cents was profit aud ~

longer much talk on the eubject COM
pared to what there was a few weeks

nothing has been done because Spain
has been unable to appoint commits
