The industries of Ohio are feeling
1et-up from the prosperity which
came to them with the passage of the
Ding1ey law On this point Mr.. j. o.
Mass president of the National bank
of Sandusky, says:
in better condition financially and
otherwise. The situation could not be
better, and so far as 1 can see, the out
look has in it nothing but what is en-
cOuraging. The railroads have
been making much money, and know
in the systems in which I am interest
ed-the Central Ohio, the Midland and
the Sandusky-our business is simply
limited by our capacity Man
ufacturers are rushed TO I'LL orders,
and there is profitable employment for
the workingmen-
The only statement in this which
might be questioned is that the sit
uation could not be better That has
been said so many times in the past
three years, and yet the industrial sit
uation keeps right growing better
and better, and prosperity continues
to become more extensive and stu
pendous all the time He is daring
man who would, in view of our expert
ence so far. attempt to place any linz
its to the prosperity which will uIti-
mately be reached under the stipauIat-

why More Railroads Were Built.

The Railroad Gazette reports that
according to estimates and facts al
ready at hand, it appears that during
the year ending Dec. 81 more than
$500 miles of railroad were built in
the United States. There have been no
figures like these since before the free
trade blight fell upon the country
through the election of Grover C1eve-
land to the presidency in 1892. During
the free trade period the average
number of miles of new railroad built
per year did not reach half this
amount Free trade is IS preventive of
the further development of the country
and of a greater opening up of its re-
sources it is destru ctive to business
already established. Every one of those
4,500 and more miles of new railroad
was built in response to the demands
of some new industry, to the in
creased demand for TRANSPORTATION
facilities made by those industries al
ready in existence, and to which new
life was given by the enactment of the
Dingley law Altogether, as the Ga
zette puts ii, 1.-The exhibit is a remark

rhs KelatIon OF sehoo1s 70 Grimm.

The Pedagogical society of Prussia
has been collecting statistics bearing
On the often-discussed question of the
erect OF education on the prevalence
OF crime From these statistics it ap-
pears that in the eastern provinces of
Prussia. where attendance at school
Is not vigorously enforced. the annual
number of crimes committed bears a
much larger proportion to the popuIa-
ton than in the western provinces. In
the eastern provinces. from fourteen
TO nineteen ordinary criminal offenses-
occur yearly for each 900 inhabitants;
in the western. only rs to 10 per 900
A similar difference is shown in Of
lenses against church and state and
public order. Even in the east the
number of crimes has been steadily
falling off since 1890, when many pub
lie schools Were established
