Some Railroad Figures.

The railroads of the world according to
the statistics collected annually by the Ar
chiv fur Eisenbahnwesen, and translated
by the Railroad Gazette, measured lat the
close OF the year 1896, Az, 064 miles, and
the increase during 1896, III miles, or
less than has been built in the United
States in single year. OF the total mile
age, the United States had 1872, TAG miles,
or II per cent of the whole, yet during
the period from 1892 to 1896 our rate Of
increase was only AS per cent less than
any other great country Of the world.
Austria added to its system only II
miles of railroad in 1896. Great Britain
and Ireland, only lOl miles. Italy, $50
miles. Germany and France each in
creased their system by 5S5 miles, Russia
5775, India 707, Japan 81 miles.
The United States has nearly four-fifths
OF the railroads in America; the United
States and Canada together nearly six
seventies of it; but in 1896 South America
did more proportionally than North
America in railroad building. Nearly
hall OF the new South American railroad
was in Brazil, and two-fifths Of it in
Chile, leaving but trihe for all the other
countries. Cuba has 1876 miles OF rail
road, to which there have been no add
tons for many years Spokane Chron

THE SIGNS OFTHE TIMES

The indications are that the Republic
cans have won a sweeping victory in Or
egon the first OF the states to vote in this
Congressional year. The issue was
made directly against the free coinage OF
silver by the United States alone, and it
was successful The n.eaning of the vic
tory is that education is doing its work
among the voters, and MONEY has done
its share in making plain the primary
principles OF the great problem.
But the warning OF MONEY in the Feb
ruary number must be needed; it will
not do to hastily assume that the result
in Oregon indicates similar conditions in
other states. Oregon is one of the most
uncertain states of the Union in by cleo
tons. 1t should not be forgotten that
Oregon gave greater plurality in 1890,
when the Republicans lost heavily in all
other parts of the country.
The Oregon election does not mean
that the people will be content to have
the monetary question remain in statu
quo. The main question is still to be
settled only its phase has changed, max
ing it, as MONEY predicted, currency
rather than Il coinage question. And
should the Republican party fail to place
itself definitely on record with a concrete
proposition for the reformation OF oul
currency system, the people will demand
an accounting, and the case will &C
against them in that event. No party
has ever successfully shirked a manifest
duty, and this will not be an exception

Justice Brown, of the United States SUI
preme court handed down a decision last
week in the case Of the Tidewater Oil Co.
VS.. the United States, which is OF con.
siderable interest to box manufacturers.
The object OF the suit was to secure re-
turn OF import duty paid on shocks, sides
and bottoms OF boxes. The question OF
what constitutes q manufactured article
was involved in the suit The company
was in the habit of importing shocks
sides and bottoms Of boxes from Canada,
which they manufactured into boxes to-
gether With iron rods which they imported
from Europe. They then exported the
complete Article. Regarding the question
whether the boxes We're wholly manufac-
tured in the United States Justice Brown
decided that they were not. He held
that the saving OF the shocks was a very
important part Of the manufacturing pro-
cess, and as this WAS done previous tc
the Introduction into the United States
the boxes could not be said to be manu-.
iacturel wholly within this county,

LYRA HALL FIRE.
saloon Keeper Michel Acts as IL He
Were Insane.

The Ladies' Socialist Club gave ball in
the Lyra Hall, at 122S-SO South Meridian
street Thursday night, and an hour after
the last of the dancers had gone, which was
about 8 o'clock yesterday morning, fire,
started perhaps by cigarette stub careless
ly thrown among some paper, was discovered
on the stage OF the hall. Christian Michel,
who has a saloon below the hall, and Ed
ward Scott and his wife live on the second
story Of the building-there are but two
stories-and because the socialistic ladies
and their partners were in the hall they did
not get to bed until all the dancers had
gone
The grateful silence was broken by a
furious rapping at the door by a watch
man who saw the fire. Mrs. Scott opened
her door and saw that the hall was in
flames She helped her husband, who was
i'll, to a house across the street. Two alarms
had been turned in, for the fire had burst
through the roof. Michel was forced back
by the flames when he attempted to leave
the hall and was about to leap out of his
window when firemen thrust up a ladder
and helped him to the ground. Michel acted
as If he were intoxicated. and he quar-
relied with policeman who arrested him
and took him TO the police station 1t devel-
oped that he was insane and had become so
from fright, presumably. In his cell at the
police station he muttered to himself, but
refused to talk to others. He imagined that
flames were bursting from the walls around
him.
The alarm Of fire had been sent in by
the Waterman on the courthouse tower
When an attempt was made to send in an
alarm from the box near the burning build
ing it was discovered that some one had
forced wooden plug into the keyhoe.
Marcus Woolf, an East Washington-street
barrel house keeper, is the owner of the
building His loss is about $500. Paul Guns
ser, a butcher, whose shop is In the build
inc. lost 500. Michel's saloon escaped
damage.

For a Hoosier Military Camp.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW ALBANY, Ind, Dec. 9.-An effort is
to be made by the commercial clubs of this
city and Jeffersonville to have a cavalry and
infantry post established by the War De-
partment at some point on the Ohio river
between the two cities. The movement has
been agitated for several years, but no con-
certed action was taken until recently. To-
day committees composed of Judge J. II.
Stotsenburg, Charles Day and Jacob Sapin-
sky, of this city, and Mayor L. b. RAIDER,
|. F. Whitesides and M. II. Myers, of JEFF
fersonville drafted letter, copies of which
were sent to Senator Fairbanks and the In
diana congressman urging them to assist in
this movement. In May. 1893 the major gem
eral then commanding the army, in report
to the secretary of war in reference to a
post between New Albany and Jeffersonville,
stated that the place suggested would be
a very good site for a military post, and
it may be anticipated that the interests of
the military service will make it desirable
that post be located there a some future
time" During the civil war Camp 10 Holt
was located on the site of the proposed mil
itaIy post.
