Our Immense Railway System,

The railway system in the United
States employs $4,000 locomotive.
$4,000 passenger cars and 5000 mai
and baggage cars. These figures
seem large till the mum Der of freigh,
cars is stated, which is l,25000O. A
passenger train, consisting Of loco,
motive, tender, baggage and six pas
senger cars, with their contents. is es
timated to weigh 1874 tons. Freight
trains sometimes reach weight OF
$50 tons. An ordinary passenger
car costs $4,000 to $4,000 and a Sleep
ing car from SIO,O00 to $4,000. The
system, with it's gigantic equipment.
is practically the growth OF a single
generation. With the additions OF
another quarter or half century
posterity ought to stand and gaze al
it's stupendous proportions. But it
will probably be gradually educated
out Of all it's capacities of wonder, as
we have been out of many OF our
own.--New York Tribune.

Experiments made in Paris show
that an electric wagon costs AZ per
cent. less to run than horse wagon
and 80 per cent. less than petroleum
motor.
An English company has placed be-
fore the Italian government a scheme
for building an electric railway over
the Great ST. Bernard. The line would
be about AZ miles long, and start from
Aosta. N'
Maps and charts have been prepared
for military telegraph and telephone
service between Santiago, Guantana-
mo, Baracoa, Sagua de Tanuamo and
San Luis, all garrison points in the
island of Cuba. Capt. Leigh is in
charge of the work.
A French fireman has invented and
constructed powerful fire engine in
which the power to propel the vehicle
and operate the pumps is supplied by a
3O-horse power engine. For igniting
the charges in the motor cylinders, and
also for giving powerful light on the
scene Of the operations, small stor-
age battery is carried which, when
charged, suffices for eight hours use.

A New United States.

On Nov. l came into political exist
ence d commonwealth to which
Americans will extend the heartlest
good will. The United Statse Of Cen
trail America is made of the CONSOLE
dalton Of Nicaragua, Salvador and
Honduras, and Guatemala and Costa
Rico, it is probable, will ultimately
JOIN the union. The newly organized
republic has Il population Of about q
100000, an area Of 10000 square
miles, an immense stretch Of seacoast
on the Atlantic and Pacific and Carib-
bean sea, including many excellent
harbors, and it need s 'arcely be said
in its northern part will be the prob
able location Of new interoceapic
waterway, which will weld the inter
ests Of the big United States very
closely with that Of its namesaka.
This republic has initiated very close
ly in its political machinery that of
this country. The three constituents
states will have their own legislatures
and governments, aud the relations
OF the state to the general gov ern-
ment follow the principles of the
United States constitution. We find
the same model in the relation OF the
judiciary, and, in word, the Central
American states discovered In The
methods and organic law of this
country, proved by more than Il CEN
fury OF happy experiment, the only
safe ideal ON which to base their own
institutions. The main difference,
and that is slight one, enforced by
the smaLness Of population, is 5he ap-
portioDment OF federal senators. Six
are sent to the senate instead Of two,
rs with us, from each state, and three
are added to represent the federal
district. The national house Of rep
resentatives is based on districts of
10000 inhabitants, thus constituting
popular assembly Of about 70. men,
bers.
The movement began about three
years ago in the treaty of Amalapa,
which referred the foreign interests
OF the State to diet, which scarcely
had the power Of our own continental
congress prior to F87. 1t proved go
unsatisfactory that it led to the more
perfect consolidation now IN force.
The cessation Of the internecine quar-
rels of, these Spanish-A merican
States and the establishment Of re-.
liable government will scarcely fail
to he the beginning of an era Of great
prosperity. Capital will inevitably
be attracted to region which in lts
natural wealth, attractivenees and
healthfulnesst ID unsurpassed by any
region Of equal extent in the world,
Immense and. varied. mineral re-
sources, the richest fruittulness in all
tbs products Of the tropical and tenn
perate zones and unsurpassed mari
time advantages give the new repub-
lie future Of buoyapt promise. The
great republic extends the most cor.
dial greeting to it's, young namesake.

TO BOLT OR NOT TO BOLT.
Duluth News Tribune: The
Minneapolis Journal accuses Gov.
ernor Clough of rocking the boat.
Foundation fer the suspicion that
the governor proposes to bolt the
ticket is said to be not hard to
locate around the state capitol.
Evidence is supplied BY Mr..
Clough' g recent remarkable eulogy
of John Lind, from which one
gathered the idea that only the
grace of heaven saved Mr.. Cleugh
from defeat two years ago. We
do not know that it matters con.
tinental whether the governor
bolts or not. The party has done
much for him, and if he chooses
to play the ungratetul son there
will be a general disposition to
forget all about him as speedily as
possible. If he bolts, he will
simply bolt into oblivion. There
are few things in the world less
interesting than a sore.headed
politician.

THE TESTOF POLICY.

American Economist: Under
the American policy of keeping
our money at home to pay for ar.
ticles which Can be produced to
advantage in our own factories and
mills the favorable trade balance
for the past tw elve months is, in
round numbers, $500, 100000
One effect Of this enormous credit
entry in the national ledger has
been to greatly increase The stock
of gold in the United States, the
imports of yellow coin during the
eleven months ending with May
having exceeded the imports by
$102,029,9s5, and added this large
amount of gold to the money IN
circulation in this country.
Formerly, when low tariff and
no tariff was the rule, this $102,
026, 965 would have come to us in
manufactured goods and not in
coin. This method Of settling
balances has been in great measure
abolished by the Dingley tariff,
and Europe is paying her debts to
the United States in money.
That is why our country is full of
gold and why times are good, and
v by the government is able to
float popular loan of$20O, 000, 600
without any help from banks OF
foreigners. 1t is a good policy
which brings about such results,

greater number of less.deirable

Sugar planting has been the
leading industry, but has about
reached its limit, as the sugar belt
is mainly confined TO q narrow
fringe on the coast line, scarcely
one.tenth Of the area of available
land suitable for other industries.
A change is gradually taking
place. Coffee may become one Of
the chief products. It is most
profitable. and no finer coffee u
produced in the world. About
PIP persons are already engaged in
coffee wing.
Many other possibilities only
await American %pital and energy
for profitable development. There
are now forty.five sugar planta-
tions and mills complete, eleven
without mills, and three mills
without plantations. Statistics Of
1898 tell US that Americans own
over II per cent of all incorporated
and BOZ per cent Of all unincorpo.
rated sugar plantations on the
islands; or, out of a total of $780,
964, 290 invested, $22, 469, 975E is
owned by loyal Americans; SO per
cent is held by actual residents of

an interesting question. There IS
yet no expression from Mckinley
as to whether be favors acquiring
the Philippine islands if the wat
comes to an early close. IF Spain
continues the war much longer
there would be no hope Of her re.
tanning the Philippines. It would
probably meet with general public
approval if the administration
