RAILWAY BUILDING
CONSIDERABLY WORK, BUT LIT.
TIE NEW MILEAGE
California Led Last Year With 21O
Miles-No Track Laid in
Eleven Of the States

While the year 1897 has shown larger
railway earnings and better business
conditions than its immediate predeces-
sors, the marked improvement in the
financial outlook did not begin early
enough in the year for the completion
of many new railway undertakings; and
so it now appears that although much
construction work is under way the mile
age of track actually laid is but little
greater than that for the preceding year.
Within the past six months work has
been resumed or inaugurated on many
strongly supported enterprises which
with a little earlier start would have
added several hundred miles of track
to the total for the year. Our records
show 20 lines on which over 400 miles
Of traclKlaying is in progress or is just
beginning, much Of which will be COM
pleted in January and nearly all by
March; so that the work of 1897 repre-
scented considerably more railway build
ing than the mileage of rails laid indi-
Gates. The lowest point in twenty years
in respect to railway building was reach
ed in 1895, when only 1903 miles of track
were added. There was slight increase
in 1896, and 1897 has done a little better
yet, the total now reported to us being
1864 miles, as will be seen by the follow
ing summary arranged by states:

THE SOLVING OF A GREAT MYSTERY

For centuries consumption has. in a
measure, puzzled the most eminent doc
tors and scientists. Nearly all great men
in the professions just named, and, in fact,
the ordinary practitioner, have been unable
to diagnose a case and find out whether q
patient was suffering with the dread dis
ease or not No one, however, until the
English and German Expert Specialists
perfected their positive cure for consump-
ton in the first and second stages, mas
been able to combat with this great enemy
to human existence.

Using, have been laid low by the hand OF
this grim destroyer long before their time;
an equally large number of women--tender
sweethearts, loving wives and mothers
also have been sent to eternity at period
when life seemed most desirable, when
friends and relatives were unprepared to
lose them. Today an untold number of
others are in an equally dangerous condi-
Millions of dollars have been spent: years
of worry, sorrow, suffering and pain have
ited-aIl of no avail. But now there Is a
remedy that cures. 1t is within the reach
Of all who will avail themselves Of the dis
covery made by the English and German
Expert Specialists five years ago. After
this secret had been wrenched from ma
ture by these great doctors, four years
more were devoted to additional re-
searches, improvements and experiments.
One year ago the physicians of the Eng
lish and German Expert Specialists felt
confident that the great cure needed no
further tests. but decided as a matter of
precaution to give it a further test of
twelve months. During this time the REM
edy has proved to be even better than they
had expected.
Out OF 1856 patients treated 1877 pronounced
themselves cured; twenty-one of the re-
mainder have not been taking the treat
fnent long enough to be cured, but are
steadily Improving. The others are In
doubt, but hopes are entertained for their
permanent cure Such a record stands
without parallel In the history of medi-
cine.
During the past quarter Of century the
English and German Expert Specialists
have won fame by the thousands Of mar
velous cures of chronic Diseases but from
this time on they expect to add additional
laurels to those already gained. The rep
utation of these great experts as con-

The Election of Freeholders

In the San Francisco freeholder cleo
ton the total vote cast was 26, 1853, which
was IS per cent of the registered vote
The successful candidates averaged only
little over $4,000 votes, or II per cent of
the total vote Of the city. This is great
showing of public indifference in such an
important matter as the making Of q
city charter. The newspapers which
were opposed to the Phelan candidates
for freeholders dwell upon the figures as
an evidence that the charter to be made
Is likely to meet with large degree of
opposition and that its success is by no
means assured. There is no lack of
truth in this claim.-Oakland ENQUIRER.

At the commencement Of 1898 the Unit
ed States will have 184,464 miles Of COM
pleted railway. If the average of the
last ten years is reached in the next two
years, as seems not unlikely, the year
1900 will open with 1871, 800 miles. There
is room in our vast country for as much
more, and it is easy to believe that 100, 900
miles will be added in the next fifty
years or less. How much Of the railway
mileage of the future will be operated
by steam, however, is a legitimate sub
ject for speculation.
Considerable construction work has
been done in the countries adjoining the

there will be several additions, show that

of lines-but on all these not mile has
thus far been built. Yet considerable
preparatory work has been done and the
public is assured that construction work
on several lines will begin early in the
year. One of the lines on which ma
terial is now being gathered is that to
run between Geronimo. Graham county,
and Globe. 1t will be continuation of
the ella Valley, Globe and Northern, and
will be from the start one of the best
patronized lines in the west. Another
new road, thirty miles in length, will run
from the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix
near Prescott, to Big Bug, to the famous
O'Neill onyx quarry, in a district that is
as well renowned as one of the richest in
its mines of precious metals. One of the
most interesting of the projected lines is
that which is to run from Flagstaff or
williams, on the Santa e-Pacific, to the
rim Of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado
river, making the wondrous gorge read
lily accessible to the tourist or casual
traveller. The surveying party is just
through it's preliminary work and con-
struction is to begin within month.
The line will be more than scenic. It will
penetrate wonderful forests and tap cop
per and gold mines of value.
Politically, the people of Arizona look
toward statehood for relief from all the
Ills that spring from the present system
Of government from Washington. Till
statehood be secured they believe that
capital cannot be had for the proper de-
velopment Of Arizona's natural re-
sources and that till then proper induce
ments cannot be extended toward out
side enterprise.

The theory Of drawing national
party lines in municipal elections is
of course gratifying to those who
would like, under cover Of a national
issue, to draw away attention from
their own personal schemes. The
government OF a city involves the
personal comfort of citizens as re-
CARDS lighting, waterworks, SANTA
ton, etc., ard the security Of prop
erty and enforcement OF the laws.
These things are notparty questions.
All good citizens want them. A man
may be a good democrat, and live in
a democratic ward, and yet have
views on municipal matters which
would make him an unsafe man to
place in the council. Thesam holds
good as to q republican. The people
of a city care little what their alder
men think OF national issues SO long
as they give them honest and eco
nomical government.

THE MILK IN THE COCOANUT.

National Tribune: We asserted
last week that the New York Sun,
which is the organ OF the New York
capitalists, corporations, syndicates
and lnonopolies, was animated onits
raid on the pensioners by the venom
Gus greed of those classes for the
control of the money of the county,
and their antipathy to seeing SO
great sum as 100000 year
of the peoples money kept in con-
slant free circulation among the peo-
pie.
It develops that large block OF
the Suns stocK-if not, indeed, a
controlling interest-is in the hands
of the noted ]. Pierpont Morgan, the
man who engineered through the
"deal'' with President Cleveland, by
which the national debt was in
creased hundreds of millions of dol
lars, and h9 syndicate enriched tens
of millions OF dollars by getting
United States bonds at $1.O4 and
$1.O5, which were really worth in the
market from 81 .16 upward. No one
was ever able to figure out just how
much j. Pierpoint Morgan and his
crowd made out of the deal with the
president and secretary, but it is
regarded by fnanciers all over the
world as one of the livery smartest
deals'' made by any clique OF finan-
ciers with a government in a long
period OF years. Morgan's financial
reputation was greatly enhanced by
bis shrewd management OF the trade.
There was good deal of talk OF
impeaching President Cleveland and
Secretary Carlisle for permitting the
treasury to be looted by a gang OF
New York money-lenders. but con-
gress was too subservient at the
time to 1.-The stuffed prophet to
allow any of his acts to be seriously
questioned.
1t would rebound greatly on J.
Pierpoint Morgan's fame and swell
his plethoric Golfers if he could again
work just such a grapevine twist on
the treasury as he got few years
ago. The main obstacle to it is that
pensions keep up too free a flow of
money through the hands of the
whole people.
