versation with precise and somewhat
airy lady, not from Boston, who began
to criticise the attainments of Boston
teachers. sslt is most extraordinary,
she said, "what ignorant people they
employ to teach school in Boston. Such
English as they sometimes speak" The
two schoolmistresses vcntured to ask
what unfortunate pcculiarities she had
observed in the English OF Boston

For What 1t Is Worth.

No matter what may be thought to
the contrary in certain quarters, the
rush and activity of business at the
port of Sabine Pass, and The i'm mens SO
commerce thrown into that harbor by
the S'uthern Pacific steamships
are suggestive of something more
than m-re passing utilization OF
that waterway to tide the big railroad
company over the present extraordina-
ry press of business. The huge i'm
provements tbs at have been Construct
ed and the vast expense incurred
in making Sabine Pass the excel
lent shipping point it really is have
given rise to the rumor that Mr..
Huntington may make it the per-
manent Headquarters of the Morgan
line. While there is nothing official
to con firm this report. The Post
nevertheless gives it for what it is
worth Houston Post.

Lessons of Railway Figures

Too little attention has been paid to
the striking facts contained in the alb
stract OF the Interstate com
merce commission report on the
American railway industry for the
year ending June 30, 1897. Some of the
figures require explanation, and the
general exhibit seems To enforce Il
plain ana important lesson.
Everything Indicates that the year
was not prosperous one for the rail-
roads, although many industries enjoy
ed considerab BILE Improvement. The
gross earnings were Sl9S mile less
than in the fiscal year 1886: there
was reduction OF over So, 600 900 in the
amount paid out "a wages and salaries.
while over 30 per cent of the rail
way stock of the country produced no
dividend. In the mum Der of passengers
there was u decrease of - 321 53S; N
the freight carried there was de-
ease of "A, lS3, 439 tons. The total
amount of dividends declared was
SS1 81, $50 the result being a deficit of
81. l2O. 4e3 from the years operations.
These facts are particularly strange
since agr lculture in the same year and
in the year previous was in most
fourisbing condition. The two wheat
crops of '96 and '97 are said to have
yielded to the farmers nearly twice as
much as as the crops of '94 and
80, and the gain amounted TO more
than $500 900 900. Why were not the
railroads able to share in the prosper
ity which came TO other Industries?
Two causes have been assigned.
The first is tuo low rates aud ruinous
compel tiUn. Rates have goue down
so low per ton that railway presidents
in the east, when interview ed by ex-
Census Superintendent Porter, stated |
that they We're almost afraid /!
to face the reports for 1913 Several |

rates would have increased the rail-
way revenue of 1897 by sos, 600, 900 |
objected to this increase? Nothing /
but excessive competition stood in the |
way.
Another cause has been found in op-
pre- sive taxation. States have taxed |
railroads with increasing severity. The |
total amount paid by the rsiiwsys in |
taxes in '97 exceeded S43, 900, 900. That |
is, the taxes were more th~n half the i
net amount available for dividends on |
the railway investment. The next re-
port will show a considerable increase |
ia the taxes, and even foreign observ-
ers are beginning 20 urge upon Us the 4
necessity of overhauling our laws for |
railway taxation.
