The Te.tln, my Of Facts.


No better Indication OF the revival OF
business In the country Is afforded than
the statements OF the Incomes from
traffic that are being made by the great
railroads OF the nation. Almost with
out exception, the Increase In traffic and
earnings that began some months ago Is
being kept up. A case in point, and one
which Is a fair sample o; many others, is
the recent statement OF the Illinois Gen.
tral Company for the five months ended
November 20, 1897, compared with that
o;'the corresponding five months OF 1896.
The number OF miles Of road operated
by this company is 3.s0s: in 1896 1t was
$780, The increase OF traffic Is thus
summarized: Gross receipts from traffic
for the Ave months mentioned IN 1897,
sll,509,057; for the same five months in
1896. s9,3l2,7 27; increase, s2,196,33o. oper-

five months, s7,9ll, l3s; for the CORES
pondins months in 1896, $3.50, o3S; In
crease. sl,24l LOG
The excess OF receipts over operating
expenses and taxes In the five months OF
1897, was s3,5s7.9lS; for the correspond
Ing period Of 1895 1t was s., 6i2, 6si, show
Ing a net increase of 1897 over 1896 OF
s955.e2i. The gross receipts for the
month Of December showed a greater
proportionate increase than during the
previous five months. They amounted
TO s2,555.3s3, while the receipts for De-
ceE3ber, 1896, were but s2.oo6,5l6. Showing
an increase for December, 1887. over De-
cerlber, 1896, of si5S.s77, or almost half
as much increaee for this one month as
the total increase for the five previous
months.

Our thanks are due to our esteemed
ne!ghbor FOR very lucid explanation Of
Dickens's character Of Pecksnlff, and we
appreciate at It's full value the extremely
disnified and nelghborly application OF
his characteristics with reference to the
Intelllgencer.
The 1ntelllgencer is also free to admit
that It knows no rule in the ethics OF
Journalism: which recognizes the char
acterization By professedly respectable
paper of an opposition contemporary as
a liar and rascal" when fair and dig
nlfled argument fails. That is peculiarly
backwoods method of argument, but
also seems to be the Registers own idea
OF what constitutes respectable Journal
ism, and proper discussion Of political
differences, which conception of decency
1t Is entirely welcome 10 hold, so far as
this paper is concerned.
