When the father of free silver, Gen
eral A. j. Warner, was asked after the
nomination, what prospects for sue
cess in the gubernatorial campaign
John r. Mclean had, he significantly
and pithily answered:
John r. Mclean will run just as
well as his money will let him."
That is to say, he will succeed only
in proportion to the compatibility of
Ohio's Democracy. But every patriot
is thankful that there is a vast differ
ence between the conscienceless pur-
chase of delegates to a convention and
the compatibility of the great mass of
the people of Ohio.

RAILWAY EARNINGS.
EFFECT OF PROSPERITY ON GREAT
TRANSPORTATION LINES.

Larger eross Receipts Than Ever Before
and Very Large Per Cont of the
Increase Goes TO the Payment Of
Labor.
There is nothing that more surely
indicates the general activity of indus
tries than the great rush of business on
the railroads.
The railroads constitute the arterial
system of the Industrial and mercan-
the world These means Of tTansporta-
tion are entirely dependent on the ac-
tivity Of the producing classes for the
territory tributary to them, and their
prosperity is proportionate to the pros
perity of the farmers and wage earners.
For example: Exports and through
shipments of -four, grain and provs-
ions from Chicago to Atlantic sea-
board points by the all-rail lines the
first week in August amounted 10
125 ,597 tons, against 1929 tons for the
corresponding week last year. Flour
shipments were 5,161 tons, against
8,007 tons last year; grain, 1OO,540
tons, against 12,OO5 last year; provis-
Ions, 1886 tons, against 14,117.
Here we see vast increase in the
passage from the producer to the con-
sumner of the most common necessaries
of life. Money had to change hands
in favor of the producer in so doing.
Those producers in turn become con-
sumers when in possession of money
to purchase manufactured articles,
which money again finds its way into
the pockets of the wage earners who
manufactured the articles. Hence it is
that the activity of the great systems
of transportation indicate the activity
| of all classes in this country.
Industrial activity in the United
States is synonymous with industrial
prosperity and happiness, for men, as
a rule, are never happier than when
legitimately engaged in making
money.
The increased, and still increasing
earnings of the railroads very elo-
| quently testify to the warm rays OF
prosperity that are beaming upon all
classes throughout the country. Two
selected at random are illustrative If
all.
The Ohio Central has just completed
a statement for the fiscal year ending
June 80 that makes a very gratifying
showing. The gross earnings were
81, 1897 .S67, an increase of $1!S 262; op-
Grating expenses were 81, ,296, ,453, an in
crease of $50,757 net earnings were
S601, Ala, an increase of S67,495. The
increase in G9oss earnings was on both
freight and passenger traffice.
The Kanawha and Michigan division
made a corresponding good showing
for the year. Gross earning were
1884, ,O64, an increase of $75,722 oper-
ating expenses were $466,1SS, an In
crease of $6O,O99; net earnings $167,-
S76, an increase of $15,623.
1t is to be noted that while there
was a large increase in the gross earn
ings, very great part of this went tc
the wage earneTs. In the case of the
Ohio Central nearly one-half of the
increase in gross earnings was pait
out in increased operating expenses
and the increase, in operating expenses
was more than three fourths labor In
the case of the Kanawha and Michigan
over 100000 of the $4,000 increase in
gross earnings went into increased op
Grating expenses; in other words, cap
ital got only one-fifth and labor four
fifths of the total gain.

Why Is II?

There are SO many mark down sales
about this season of the year. Every
one trying to see who can make the
greatest mark down. Did 1t ever occur
to you how high these same goods
must have been marked2 II isn't pos
sible that business can be conducted
without a great deal OF expense, there
fore very high prices must be charged
on some goods to make up for the loss
entalled by such deep cuts. We make
it a rule to buy right and sell low all
the time Our low prices clear out
the goods in season and when others
are making desperate efforts to get rid
of the past seasons accumulations,
we have new seasonable goods at even
less prices than the marked down
stocks.

THE DISTRICT COURT,
Suits at Civil and Cases at Criminal ses-
sions Yesterday

AT the civil session of the central dis
trict court yesterday morning, Abram
). Reimold, manager of the Worcester
Brewing Company, figured as defend
ant in suit in which Arthur j. Mar
bic, the civil engineer, was plaintiff.
The plaintiff brings suit to recover
$5S.23 for surveys and other profession
al services in connection with the pro-
jected plan for the manufacture of
artificial ice.
Gen. c. W. Wood, who appeared for
the plaintiff, said that Reimbold was
one of the prime movers in the scheme
TO install an Hygienic Ice Company in
TINS city, the scheme afterward being
abandoned. Reimold, ne said, had en-
gagged the plaintiff to make SURVEYS
ana set the batter boards for the cree
ton OF the building in which the ice
making plant was to be installed, if
the scheme had not fallen through.
Mr.. Marble testified at length regard
lng his conversation with Reimold on
the subject. On ross-examination
Marble admitted that he had seen
something in the papers about the for
nation of an ice company, but he had
no actual knowledge of the existence
OF such a company. He recognized no
one aside from Reimold in his deal
ing.
b Reimold took the stand and testified
that he had acted as agent of the
company in question and had told Mar
BILE so, and also told him the names
OF the officers of the company. He adj
united on cross-eXamination that he
mad given his personal note in paw
ment of other claims against the com
pany and afterward took up the note
with his own money
Lawyer Arthur p. Rugg. who an
peared for the defendant, introduced
the certificate of Incorporation of the
company and also some notes given by
the company which had come back,
marked protested.
Joseph Colley, a carpenter. brought
SUIT against Addison j. I3emis for S27,
alleged to be due for services per-

quot. The second count was not ready

HUBBARD BACK.
Expected to Have Permits
to Remove Bodies.

A. F. Dunkerton is expected back in
Worcester this afternoon on the 2.17 D
m. train from New York and unless
something unforeseen has taken place
during the past twenty-four hours. he
will come provided with the necessary
permits for the removal Of a number OF
bodies of dead soldiers who are buried
in Cuba
Mr.. Dunkerton went to Washington
on the midnight train last Tuesday
night and since that time has beer
busily engaged in hustling for the at.
tainment of his object in visiting the
capital.
Yesterday Armorer George w. Hub.
bard, who was associated with Mr.
Dunkerton in the recent visit to Cube
for soldiers bodies, received a letter
from him yesterday, dated at Washing
ton, In which he states that he has been
very busy during the past few days
but with the assistance of Hon. Joseph
III. Walker he has succeeded in excess
even of his anticipations. In his letter
Mr.. Dunkerton states that he has been
promised the permits to remove bodies
from the island, for which he has al
foreseen, he should start from Wash
ington Saturday night with the neces-
sary papers in his possession He will
stop In New York to attend to a mat
ter of business and expects to arrive in
Worcester this afternoon.
Mr.. Dunkerton speaks of the court
esy and assistance accorded him by
Congressman ]. H. Walker, in the high
est terms and says it was largely
through his influence that he was ac-
corded an interview with Col. Younge
and subsequently, promised the permit
to remove the bodies of Massachusetts
soldiers from Cuba.
Nor is this all.
Mr.. Dunkerton has been offered a po-
sltlon of foreman in the employ of the
government to superintend the taking
up and inspection of all bodies to be
sent home by the government.
Meanwhile the citizens committee in
terested in the expedition to Cuba for
the bodies Of Massachusetts men is
making little progress further than
awaiting the decision of the secretary of
war regarding the permit for their ex-
petition to begin operations.
With Mr. Dunkertons return this
afternoon will come definite information
regarding his plans for the future. His
previous trip to the island with Ar
morer Hubbard gives him an immense
advantage so far as working with good
result is concerned, over men I'M
acquainted with the country and the
necessarily unpleasant work
Although it cannot be definitely stat
ed as yet, Mr.. Hubbard will probably
accompany Dunkerton on the expedi-
ton, If satisfactory arrangements have
been made

THE CHECKER MATCH.
Fletcher Won Two and Browning One of
Opening Games at Y. N. c. A.

Three games in the checker match of
u games between Eugene Browning of
Spencer and William f. Fletcher Of
Grafton were played in the Y NJ. C. A.
library, last evening. Play was
watched with evident interest by
large number of checker enthusiasts,
not only of this city, but from the
towns which are the homes of the
principals, According to the articles
of agreement, ~ games are to be play
ed and the first four were to be played
in the Y. NJ. G.. A. last evening. There
was some delay about starting, and as
1t was considerably after 10 o'clock
when the third game was completed,
1t was decided to postpone the fourth
game indefinitely.
The first two games were won by the
young man from Grafton, and in a
manner that made many believe that
he was going to walk away With his
older opponent. The third game, how
ever. resulted in defeat rather than
success for Fletcher, Browning win
ming alter very hard contest
Each man was supposed to make 90
moves within the hour, and Dr. c. III
Hakes of Millbury acted as referee
The opening games last evening
showed that Fletcher is a remarka hIY
cool player for so young a man. and
that Mr. Browning had no cinch ahead
Of him Browning made his ov-s
games, preferring the Kelso openine
which he forced in the first and third
games, while in the second he thran,
Fletcher into the single corner onen
ing.
The next games will be plavad :,
