SHORTAGE OF FREIGHT CARS.
Demands of Business SWIMMING
Transportation Companies.
Kansas City Star

The railroad companies of the United
States have been rushed with business for
several months past. In every part OF the
country and on nearly every line there is a
constant complaint tf scarcity Ct cars. Never
before in the history OF the country were the
transportation facilities taxed as they are
now. This refers to cars and engines. There
Is plenty of trackage everywhere for
greatly increased volume Of business, but
the companies cannot furnish all the cars
that are demanded by their patrons.
This situation is in vivid contrast with
that which existed four or five years ago,
when thousands Of empty cars were standing
unused on sidetracks. The increase in the
volume OF freight business since 1894
amounts to about 40 per cent. The ton
mileage, as reported by Poor's manual, was
S2,223,O in 1894 and ll4,566,000 in 1898. 1t
is larger still at the present time,
To meet this immense growth of business
there has been an increase of only Az per
cent in the number Of freight cars. The
railroads had 1,22s. 7S1 cars in 1894 and 1,2S4,-
SO7 in 1898. The figures explain why there
Is car shortage-4O per cent increase in
business and only 4 per cent increase in
cars! But the railroad managers are hardly
to blame II in the lean years, from 1898 10
1897, they did not provide for their next era
| OF prosperity 1t was not lack OF foresight
| so much as lack of means that kept them
| from doing so.
In 1898 there was an increase OF $4,000 in
| the number OF cars and this year probably
| 100000 will be added, for every car factory
In the country is working night and day
| to NIL orders II takes about 100000 new
freight cars every year TO replace the worn
out and discarded ones and keep the aggre-
gate number in use from falling OFF, so the
| car factories this year viii probably turn
out no less than 200, 900 freight cars,
The gradual displacement Of old cars with
new ones OF large capacity, equipped with
automatic brakes, and the adoption Of power
| ful engines capable OF hauling longer trains
are increasing the carrying capacity OF tho
railroads faster than the increase in the
number Of cars would indicate. but it has
not grown as fast as business has expanded
The scarcity Of care will be felt stIll more
in the west when the big corn crop begins
to move. But this will not be a great mis-
fortune. for It will keep fhe markets from
being flooded with corn, and probably bene-
fit the farmer by prolongng the marketing
Of corn, instead OF rushing the surplus tC
market in a few weeks or months. to de-
press prices by the excess of grain offered
for sale.

ABOLIsHING GRADE CROSSINGS.
Chicago Methods n Pointer for Omahn n

SHlCdEO IOSt,
The passage of the Chicago G. Western
Indiana track elevation ordinance Monday
night serves to call attention to the wonder
full progress made in track elevation in Chi
cago. of recent years. This latest measure
provides for the practical elimination Of the
track-crossng evil. and involves the expen-
diture of from 81 1000 900 to S., 900 900 and the
raising of the tracks of various roads for
distance of thirteen miles. This will also
necessitate elevating the railroad yards be-
tween Forty and Fifty-fifth streets,
which serves to give some idea OF the stu
pendous nature of the undertaking. Alto
gether there will about 100 miles of track
raised
The extent to which this trackraising
movement has been carried forward in Chi
cago is not generally realized Since 1892
when the Illinois Central took the initiative
more than 200 miles OF tracks have been ele-
waited, and work in this line is still progress
Ing under previous ordinances. The total
number of grade crossings abolished and to
be abolished is 339, and OF these the latest
ordinance provides for the elimination of six
ty-seven. There have also been nearly fifty
eight miles OF tracks depressed-for subway
traffic-and the grand total of tracks whose

The city is certainly to be congratulated
on the success of the rack-elevation crusade
up to date. More has been accomplished d
than would have been deemed possible few
years ago. The last ordinance, when signed
by the mayor, will put Chicago within easy
view Of the end Of one Of the greatest prob
lens of her municipal existence, for the

st. Louis Globe-Democrat
In the last days of the campaign in Ne
braska Bryan returns to the state to make
final desperate effort. He is far from
satisfied with the outlook though he had
already completed a wider stumping tour
through the state than ever before. He will
now proceed to storm most of the counties
from the rear platform Of a train, hoping
that his personal presence will turn the tide
He knows that the drift is against him
The canvasses notify him that he Is the
champion of a lost cause. No argument re-
mains except to appeal to former supporters
TO stand by him so that he can go into next
years convention with his own state still
behind him. Nebraska would be today as
strongly republican as Kansas IL 1t were not
for a foolish sentiment about an individual
and one, too, who has been decisiveIy
beaten Bryan made his best possible run
in 1896 Nebraska's fusion majority was
greater that year than it has been since
Last year the majority dwindled to almost
nothing.
Politics in Nebraska, as elsewhere, Is
worth nothing unless 1t rests upon questions
OF principle. Bryan's principles have been
rejected by the country and will be rejected
more emphatically than before If submtte ed
to popular judgment. His advice to Ne
braska three years ago was admittedly bad
in every respect. Every prediction he made
about the future has been falshed The

To chase him indoors when it rains.

Falls his way like a thousan' bricks

An smokes seegars stead of his pipe,
An gifts shaved at the barbers where
He talks about combines an rings
An fusion an some other things,
An says he's onto all their tricks

Could sing an pray TO beat the band,
An, jest to guide our footsteps right,
Had family prayers every night.
But now we're all in bed when he
Comes home at night, an ma says she
Imagines piOus things won't mix
In corjial way with politics.
Ma asked him once If 1t was right
To help the corporations fight

Whilst he climbs up the tree an picks

The phenomenal growth Of the iron
and steel business Is noted in many
ways, but no place more forcibly than
in the statement that contracts have
already been made for next year for
transporting in lake vessels 100000
tons of ore. This is within 100000
tons of the total freight carried Oh ships
of the great lakes the present season.
To carry this immense amount of ore
will require the constant service of
practically all the vessels now atloat on
the lakes, but contracts already let for
building new ships will greatly increase
the capacity of the lake-carrying trade.
1t is generally conceded that the iron
trade is one of the best indexes TO gen
eral trade conditions, and it is there,

tlvity of 1890 will be more than dupli-
Gated in 1900.
