THE VACATION SEASON
THE RAILWAY MANAGERS MORE
LIBERAL IN THAT DIRECTION.
The Michigan Central to Take or Its
North Shore Limited-Sca1pers
T. Said to BE Prospecting.

In a circle of railroad men yesterday, the
subject of summer vacations was brought
up. One who was present said that few
years ago none but the higher officials took
vacations, and they soon learned that the
roads were operated just the same as when
they were at home, consequently instead of
taking two weeks vacation they often take
a month or more, visiting Europe, and on
their return they find that everything has
moved along so smoothly tina. they had
hardly been missed. 'This," said the Official
sis due to the fact that when superior Of
ficer is away the subordinate official feels
he has more responsibility and is the more
determined to have business move along
without any jar. The best feature of the va
cation season is that railway managers
have discovered that heads of departments,
local agents, and even the clerks and ste
nographers in the offices do better work if
given, once a year, a two weeks vacation,
and so rapidly has this reform grown that
on all frst-class roads an employee whose
duties require close confinement or steady
work at long hours is given two weeks
vacation without deduction from his
wages. While two weeks is the fixed limit,
a substitute can be employed if the person
taking the vacation desires to extend the
time. The reform which is the more general
ly appreciated is the half holiday on Satur-
day. everybody can enjoy that during the
summer months On Saturday afternoon of
fees, freight depots and yards are closed"

Improving the Southern Indiana.

A dispatch from Bedford says: 1.-THE
Southern Indiana Railway is making sub
stantial improvements in it's roadbed. Over
thirty miles of the east end of the road
has been given an extra good ballast of sand
and gravel and the crews of the work trains
are now spreading ballast on the west end
of the line from Bedford City at the rate
of one completed mile a day. Parties who
had travelled over this road before the
Walsh MANAGEMENT took hold of 1t and have
recently travelled over it say that it is al
most impossible to believe That 1t is the
same road, so great has been the improve
ment, both as to the ease of travel and the
Improvement in stations "

reared up until almost standing OF hsr
ruddcr, and men, guns and everything
which could move went down the ter
rible incline. AS she settled down
everything was flung forward agaja,
and with SILVER and sob she weit
to the bottom. II any man screamed
out / cannot recall IL. IL came upon
us so swiftly that ALL were dumb. Thee
were only four or five killed and six or
seven badly hurt, when IL seemed q
II everything aboard ought to have been
torn TO pieces or crushed TO a pulp. Her
engines were fetched away, the coal and
stores and guns were heaped together
and some of the planks torn from her
bows were driven upwards through
her decks. Her bows were literally torn
of and her entire frame shattered and
loosened from stem 20 stern, although
her magazine did not explode. The
largest battleship afioat, striking tor
pedo like that, would have been sent 10
the bottom so swiftly that no one could
have got clear OF her. AS the Sciota

were left above water, and those who
escaped the explosion chung TO them

VICTORY OF THE TREASURY.
a Splendid showing, Helped out by
the Patriotism of the
People.

In this war the victories OF the
treasury department have not been
less significant than those won on the
sea and land. In fact, they are just as
essential and just as brilliant, though
Of course they are not theatrical nor
melodramatic. by reason OF this they
might escape attention were IL not the
part OF newspaper to be just In
praise and quick to give credit where
credit is due.
Up TO this time almost 800, 100000 in
cash has been paid out on account OF
the war. tbs is not to be looked upon
as the cost of the war, for IL is diff
cult to draw the line between ordinary
and extraordinary expenses. But the
expenses over the same time last year
have increased about S15,000,000. So IL
Is fair 10 infer this represents the cost
OF the war thus far. Two-thirds or
this is chnrgeable TO the war depart
ment and one.third to- the naval de-
partment.
But there are other expenses, which
do not show in the cash expenditures.
In the way Of large sums due on con
tracts not yet complete. This would
swell the total materially over the
million n day that has gone out thus
far. AS large as this sum seems, IL
will he much larger when the whole
army is in the field, as the expenses
there are much greater than while in
camp.
But this outgo, enormous as II is, has
been easily met, and there will be no
pinch for months TO come. Within
few days the 5000 900, 900 loaned by the
people will begin TO pour In. In addi-
ton, the increased receipts from in
ternal revenue will be felt almost inn
mediately. and this will be no mean
sum. II may reach SIS 1000, 900 n month,
though this estimate seems too liberal.
In any event the treasury is well forti-
fed for a few months at least.
IL Is thus seen how brilliant Is the
victory OF the treasury department,
victory worth celebrating, for on its
work all the rest depend. A big fat
purse Is just rs strong in war as n
great big navy. even when manned by

II certainly pays TO be honest. The
United States asked for loan of $780,
o00, 900 at three per cent. interest. and
the report Of the assistant secretary
of the treasury, issued on the
day after the bids closed, shows that
81, &c., 900, 900 was offered. Ii business
man should ask for loan, and should
receive offers for seven times the
amount asked for, IL would be the gen.
eral opinion that that business man
was financially sound. So IL is with the
government. and no greater tribute
could be paid TO the existing gold
standard than the success OF this war
bond issue. We do not need any money
tinkerers, and IL the people will go
about their business and labor the
money will take care of itself.
This war bond issue has been the
most successful ever offered in this or
any other country, and ID furnishes n
lesson TO the world of the unlimited re-
sources of our country. There are 1885,
900 subscribers for amounts Of $500 or
less and those subscriptions alone will
aggregate S9000o,0 900. almost half of
the sum asked. All of the smaller sub
scriptions will be accepted first. and
all subscriptions for over $4,000 will be
rejected, so that IL is very apparent
that the populist howl about Wall
street will gobble up all the bonds" has
been stopped by slap in the mouth.
The number of subscribers aggregate
100000, and as one in every so men will
be "bloated government boldholder"
II Is very plain that the populists will
have TO say less in the future about the
people who hold bonds. Iowa alone
furnished 5000 bidders for bonds, and
most of them will be accepted.
The first issue OF the new bonds will
be made on July &c, and from that time
daily shipments will be made to the
full capacity of the bureau of engrav-
ing and printing. Every American citi-
zen is TO be congratulated on the re-
suit of this bond issue. 1t was ncces-
sary in the first place TO obtain large
loan for carrying on the war. and il
Is magnificent testimonial OF Ameri-
can citizenship, when the people OF
moderate means can open their purses
and furnish $200.0O0,00O on short no
