The only States not represented in the
table for 1883 are New Hampshire, Rhode
Island, Delaware. Nevada and south La
kota- There are several lines under con-
struction in South Dakota, but our au-
wees do not indicate that any track has
been laid. The great agricultural! state OF
Iowa. in which there has been little rail-
way building for The ten years previous
10 1889, stands al the head OF the list
with 5S2 miles OF new road. The work III
this State has been remarkable. and has
been carried on almost exclusively IN the
interest of large systems. such as the
Chicago and Northwestern, Illinois Cen

Minnesota comes next with ::G9 miles 10
her credit and 4 good share OF the mile
age in this State has likewise been built
by the Chicago and Northwestern, al
though the Great Northern ana oNinne-
apoilS and st. Louis have added lInpor-
tant extensions. Arkansas is next. with
30 miles OF new road. over one-half OF
which has been butt by the ChoctaW,
Oklahoma and Gulf.
A study of the table will show that,
WINE there have been large additions in
the southern, northern and middle west
ern States. the scene Of greatest activity
has been west OF the Mississippi river,
the twenty States SO located IN which
new mileage is reported contributing 2.on
miles. or considerably more than one
half OF the total OF the entire country.
This indicates the extent TO which the
agricultural and mineral sections Of the
great West are being developed.
The notable fact about the work of the
PAST year is that there has been compare
lively little building by new companies.
more than three-nuarters of the new
mileage having been built by or in the in
terest of existing lines. The Chicago and
Northwestern has built 33JIiG miles. the
Chicago. milwaukee, and St. Paul IS miles,
the Northern. Pacific % miles in the
United States and - miles in Canada;
the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific 50

Louisville and Nashville ~ miles; the
Seaboard Air Line over 100 miles; the
Great Northern A miles, and the Choc-
,aw, Oklahoma and Gulf 162 miles. These
are only q few instances. many other i'm
portant systems having added less
mileage.
The longest continuous line built is the
extension of the Choctaw. Oklahoma and

A Corn-ShucEin- Song.


Come list TO the song of autumnal nights,
The song of a shucking corn,
The rcvelry wild, the dim flashing lights,
Where inmost joys are born.
Forget all your sorrows, your cares and
woe,
The work Of the day is done;
Just ship all your sadness to Jericho
And come let us have some fun!
The lanterns are lighted the fires CLEAN.
The neighbors a gathering round,
And CHEEKY haliooes and mirth supreme
Break forth with blissful sound,
Just one now is talking. the rest are still,
4 Joke he is telling them,
And now they are laughing and singing
to kill.
While light from the corn-ears CLEAN.
The little brown jug is circuling around.
And rude-worded toasts are drunk;
IT'S primitive man and mirth here are
found
You see when the sun is sunk.
And higher and higher and higher yet.
Then uproSe the jubilant glee,
The fires went ont and the lights upset,
And drunkards then all were we!
Come list TO the song of autumnal nights.
The song of a shocking corn
The rerelry wild, the dim flashing lights,
Where Utmost joys are born.

Early last spring. when 1t was apparent
that a very pronounced revival in railway
building had set In. it seemed certain that
Before the close Of The year 1000 miles
or more of new road would be completed.
Many important extensions had already
been undertaken or We're being planned
by larRe systctns in the West and South,
and for the fret time IN a number of years
railway contractors found their services
in great demand. Work was 50 abundant
and contractors were so unprepared for
such a rush that the price Of grading be-
gan RAPIDLY to advance. This was fol-
lowed by an almost unparalleled demand
for labor. and wages soon Increased TO
the point where IT became necessary for
contractors to figure very carefully before
pbligating themselves no complete a piece
OF work in n given time. Before the sum

the predictions of the early spring have
not been realized. Taken in connection
with the vast amount OF work that has
been done in the way OF improvements to
never reached such proportions in any
previous year-it seems remarkable that
so much has been accomplished in new
building.

Millionaires who maintai n colleges
or universities for their diversion
have as much trouble as those who
keep racing stables, yachts or other
expensive establishments-not TO
mention Wallets. Mr.. Rockefeller
has had no end Of trouble with his
University of Chicago. He has
fired one president and number Of
professors, for protesting things that
Mr.. Rockefeller did not believe, and
quite recently he has read the riot
act to the entire faculty, requesting
them generally not TO be any more
assinine than was absolutely neces-
sary.
Now Mrs. Stanford is having
trouble with her professors. Pro-
fessors of economics, particularly,
are apt to disagree with the views
If millionaires, and Mrs. Stanford s
professor appears to have been say
ing things that were out OF harmony
with the theories on which the Stan
ford millions were accumulated. AS il
was from these millions that his sal
airy was drawn, the lady patroness
thought it right that he should draw
no more, ADD he won't. And now
the assistant professor also has re
signed, to allow Mrs. STANFORD to
have economics taught in a way she
approves.
PROFESSIONALLY, when a man or
a woman builds and endows an in
stitution for teaching, he or she has
d right to say what shall be taught.
Only this oversight ought to be pub
Iicly understood. A university pro-
lessor is popularity supposed to have
reached his conclusions by indie
pendent research, and his teaching
may thus carry an authority that
would not be accorded it if it were
known that he was merely express
lag the views of the millionaire who
pays him a salary for this purpose.
Students of economics are quite apI
to promulgate ideas disrespectful tc
the Standard Oil company, for ex
ample, and if Mr.. Rockefeller wishes
to mlintain a trust college, as he
has a right to do, he should label il
as such. Then there could be nc
misunderstanding, on the part O
either the faculty, or Of the public
