rate record should be made. There was a
scramble for business last year among the
railroads. Rate wars were frequent, pro
longed and severe. Railroad managers seem
TO possess a desire TO make a better SHOW
ing as to the amount OF tonnage moved
than TO profits from such movement. Rates
suffered in consequence. The unfortunate
feature is the result that followed the years
rate troubles. The low level established mas
since been continued. 1t has been impossi-
ble TO re-establish the old level, for II rarely
occurs that n rate once cut ever makes
full recovery. And thus we find a "
ward tendency In rates, not only In 1898
but for years back.
To offset this condition OF affairs railroad
managers have been compelled to spend vast
sums of money each year In the adoption OF
methods to lessen the cost Of operation.
Monster locomotives have been built, the
capacity OF freight cars steadily enlarged,
heavier rails laid, roadbeds practically re-
made. wooden bridges have given way to
steel structures, and the length of trains In
creased. All for the purp sc stated-to les
sen the cost OF operation.
Had not this been done there would be few
railroads In the country today making re-
turns to their shareholders. In fact, most or
them would have been bankrupt, for each
succeeding year found profits dwindling-the
margin between gross and net earnings grow
ing less and less. No one believes the end
has yet been reached. The tendency OF rates
Ia still downward. Whether or not railroad
managers will be able to introduce further
economies as a partial Offset remains to be
seen. II not, congress must enact laws which
will establish rates on a profitable basis.
And this is the relief which railroad men all
over the country eXpect.

A close study OF Mr.. Bryan reveals him
as an actor. He is a born thespian. He
approaches every question with a view 10
stage effect, His faculty of adaptation Of
the ideas of others and his fondness for
dramatic exits and entrances are all the
characteristics OF a player. His tendency to
begin making a speech to any crowd he sees
marks him a natural born transformer.
The impression he leaves Is exactly that
produced by a show. In his progress through
the country in 1896 the crowds that heard
him were larger than had ever listened be-
fore to a stump speaker, but where his audi
ences were largest his vote was the small

wanted to hear a hoy orator." They heard
him, applauded him even. went home and

audience weeps over Desdemona, though 1t
knows she is not smothered, and 1t goes to
the tomb in tears with Juliet, knowing that
she will be at her mutton broth and beer

Mr.. Bryan excites just that sort of interest
and no other.
The feeling for him in his audiences Is per-
fectly sincere OF its kind. He Is playing a
part, does 1t fairly well. and earns applause
and something more substantial, and gets
both. and there the impression ends.
After his next defeat for the presidency
he should follow his trend and talents and
take TO the stage. His age would be no bar.
for his political career has really been a
course Of study and practice for the seek

The extent of business activity In the

is fully reflected in the railroad earnings
for that period, which have been compiled
and published in Poor's Manual OF Railroads

earnings OF the country's railroads for 1898
increased, as compared with the returns OF
1897, no less than S116, 692 ,098. AS com

WHITE L4RDR IN H4W

The secretary of the United States
senate committee on interstate com
merce, who has just returned from an
Investigation of the labor situation in
Hawaii, is of the opinion that the solu-
ton of the labor problem in the islands
is the employment of free white labor.
1t will be interesting to hear more from
Mr.. Ray IN this subject, particularly
his views as to how free white labor
shall be introduced in the islands. At
present Hawaii is well supplied with
Chinese and japanese contract laborers.
Since annexation thousands of these
people have been brought to the islands,
the planters having taken the opportu-
nifty afforded by the failure of congress
to enact legislation prohibiting the i'm
portation of contract labor to abun-
dainty provide themselves with it and
there Is probably enough of such labor
there to meet the demand for years to
come.
What shall be done with it? Man
ifestly in order to introduce free white
labor the Chinese and Japanese con-
tract laborers will have to be expelled
and this would be no easy task. The
planters would undoubtedly oppose any
such arrangement, as forcing upon
them more expensive labor and also
labor very sure to prove less efficient.
The contract labor is very cheap, is
easily controlled and is suited TO the
climate. Free white labor would not
submit to conditions which are entirely
satisfactory TO the Chinese and Japa-
nese and its employment would mean a
material reduction in the profits of the
planters, besides more or less trouble
in controlling ii.
But the prime question is, Could suffl-
Client white labor be obtained? Very
likely 1t could not, whatever reason
able inducements might be offered.
Hawaii offers no attractions for white
labor. 1t has not gone there since an

II we are to Judge by many Of the reports
upon the doings Of the Shamrock recently
printed in the papers, the cup races will
be somewhat exciting. The Scotch-1rish
craft Is made out to be as good as a fore
ordained victor If the wind has any life in
1t, although the Columbia, beauty as it
is, is today probably as stout a wrestler
with wind and wave as the mighty Defender
itself.
It should be remembered in making COM
parsons between the well-tried Columbia
and the untried Shamrock, that the fear
of the foreigner has been abroad before in
tremendous force The Thistle, before 1t
saw the Volunteers stern run almost out of
its sight, could go to windward without
sails, according to the observation Of some
experts. Valkyrie III was reported as
beating a tugboat that could log about
seventeen knots. In our W waters back
in the Vigilant's year New York's sailornen
were sad with the same sort OF anxiety
about the two boats building in Boston for
the trial races. 1t was known here that
the Vigilant and Colonia were very fast,
but the Pilgrim and Jubilee, the fin keels of
eastern waters, had the trial as good as
won in the opinions not only OF Boston but
of New York. The Pilgrim, judged by the
great tug test, cOulu dDOut HHiu III o"h
with a torpedo boat, But when matched
against the sailing yachts of their CLASS the
Boston boats were nowhere.
The Shamrock Is doubtless a very able
boat, perhaps ADLER than the Columbia; but,
the various estimates Of its speed. made
on the strength Of watching it sail all by
it's lonesome down the bay, measure Its
qualifications for racing against the Column
bia about as accurately as would a study OF
the coming Oceanic's log.
Beneath all the domestic fears and foreign
hopes is the unquestionable fact that
Columbia's superiority to Defender Is
greater than was Defenders over Vigilant,
II Sir Thomas Upton has got a yacht
enough better than the last British built
representative to beat Columbia, then his
designer has accomplished the greatest single
stride in boat making that Is to be credited

While a dozen states in the central part

from a temperature of about 100, with a hot

was down to the frost line In northern New

OF Vermont. In the Grand Army encamp-
ment at Philadelphia some OF the veterans
built fires in order to be comfortable in the
