SWISS RAILROADS.

They have a very crude and oppres-
sive way of handling the railroad bust
ness in Switzerland. About two years
ago the government bought the entire
railroad system of the nation and pro-
ceeded to show what it could do. At
ter increasing the wages, reducing the
hours of the employees, and reducing
the tariff to one-third its former rate
on both freight and passengers, the
officials were not satisfied, and put in
system of season tickets, by buying
one OF which for SIS you can ride on
any railroad in the nation as often as
you please, as long as you please, and
at any time within its limit that you
please Did you ever hear of such
oppression? Was tyranny ever more
tyranrous? How glad we should be
that we live in free country where
we have to pay three cents mile to
travel, have to use the ticket on the
day of purchase or lose 1t; where we
have to sign our name and prove our
Identity to every Conductor; where
we are looked upon with suspicion
whenever we present coupon ticket,

BURDEN UP BY MILITARISM.

In the general deficiency bill re-
ported to the House $21 $4,000 for
military and s3,973,145 for naval pur-
poses are carried Added to the regu-
lar appropriations for army, navy and
pensions, which aggregate 1898, 1902
this will bring the total appropriations
for these purposes made at this ses-
sion of congress up to $424, 265 ,24S.
But does this imposing row of nine fg-
ures clearly convey anything to the
average readers mind as to his indi-
vidual share of the enormous burden
We fancy not
1t will help the average American
man to grasp it better if we say that
if he is the head of the average fam
lily of five persons he will have to pay
this year just about $2S as his share Of
the taxation necessary to meet this
vast military outlay.
This is the larger tax per capita
for military expenditures than is borne
by the people of any other nation on
earth. And if it were only taken in
direct taxation, so that every head of a
family Of five received his yearly bill
for military purposes, $685." there
would be revolt against it that would
break the party responsible for it.

GOSPEL OF GREED.
AGAINST WHICH ALL REF Q RIM
Frs MUST SOON UNITE.
Ownership In Air-Rlghts OF Real Estate
Owners Above Their Land-Can nien
Rightfuily Claim Ownership OF At
mosphere.

The value OF land in a great city has
long been recognized, but few people
perhaps, have realized how far up and
down real estate ownership extends.
A lawsuit just decided in New York
has settled the fact that man can get
damages il his neighbor encroaches
for even few inches on the air above
the land to which he has legal claim.
The evidence in the case just decid-
ed showed that the wall of a twenty
ntory building on Broadway overhangs
the land adjoining, at the first cornice
OF the building three inches and a
quarter; at the second cornice three
inches and three-quarters. At the New
street end there is an overhang OF
one and one-eighth inches, and in ad-
dition to this there are overhanging
cornices and swinging shutters. The
owner of the air encroached upon got
opinions from experts that the conse-
quent injury to him was from $4,000
to $250,000 says the Boston Globe.
Judge Lawrence of the supreme
court has awarded to the sufferer
$1,000 damages He says that the de-
PENDANT will be enjoined from main
tanning the cornices and swing ng
shutters, the injunction to take effect
when the plaintiff decides, If at all,
to carry up his building, which is four
stories high, or to erect another higher
building. II the defendant agrees to
pay the $4,000 the plaintiff must give
an acquittance of all claim for the en-
croachment of the wall. The defend
ant must also declare that he will
make no claim of adverse possession
for the time the cornices and shutters
remain.
Real estate experts say that the case
is of such Importance that it may be
carried to higher court on an appeal.
The present decision has shown, how
ever, that the plaintiffs hopes for
damages were not altogether "in the
air." theoretically, 1t would appear, a
mans ownership of piece of land ex-
tends upward to the limit of the at
mosphere and downward to the center
of the earth.

INprA.s BALANCE OF TRADE.

INOIA'S BAL ANCE Or TRADE
The following items are taken from
an article published in the Boston PHO
of July 7, under the title of Starving
India This article had number Of
facts and figures taken mostly from
yearly Famine in India" by George
E. Buell. Of Rochester. n. Y.
The wheat crop Of India in 1899 was
292.5S5,000 bushels. The average an
nuul wheat crop for the last eight
years was 234,057,750.
Over 35,400,000 bushels Of wheat
were exported from India in $780, 49,
500. TAO bushels is the average amount
annually exported from India for the
last eight years.
Note from the above figures that In
dia raised a little less than the aver
age of wheat last year; but that she
shipped out of the country two and
one-eighth times more than the aver
age shipped.
The Pilot comments as follows upon
the foregoing paragraphs:
According to the favorable balance
Of trade theory India is the most
prosperous of countries, for her ex-
ports are always in excess of her i'm
ports, and especially so in famine
years.

A POLITICAL BANK swrNpLE


The Seventh National Bank OF New
York city, has been closed by the
Comptroller of Currency under circum-
stances which indicate that some gi-
gantic stealing has been going on. The
cause given by the. Comptroller for his
action was that $1,600,000 of the banks
money had been loaned to a firm spec
ulating in railroad stocks, practically
without security. One sum of $500, 900
was given to the firm on checks drawn
on fictitious deposit in another bank.
The comptroller some days ago order
ed that the entire loan be paid or that
the bank suspend business. The direc-
tors pretended to comply with the Or
der, but in reality simply disposed of
sl,000,G00 of good securities, retaining
the worthless securities put up by the
SPECTATORS. Hence the order to discon-
tinue business.
The Seventh National Bank was in
part owned by the Heath family, of
which Perry s. Heath Is the political
member AS assistant postmaster gen.
eral he secured the deposit of immense
sums Of money order money in it, and
otherwise favored it. It's failure under
such circumstances simply adds one
more scandal to the name Of the man
who had to retire from Office because
of his connection with the Cuban post
al steals. He still stands high in the
administration favor, and is in
charge of the Republican Literary Blu
Teau, but this last incident" makes it
practically certain that he will not
again be placed in a responsible posi-
ton.

FREE RAW MATERIAL.

Protectionists favor putting raw
materials" on the free list, but they do
not have the least conception of what
constitutes raw material, because If
they did they could not be protection
lists. The farmers are entitled to the
same care and attention at the hands
CT congress that any other class is, in
Guiding the manufacturers. Then If
the manufacturer is entitled to his raw
material free, the farmer should have
his free, too. Now, the products which
the farmer does not produce himself,
but has to purchase as the product of
another, would include his clothes,
farm implements, furniture, crockery,
etc, land l should like to see the tariff
law constituted that would place these
articles on the free list and have any
protection left for the manufacturer"

the opportunities are at hand and may
be taken advantage of by everybody.
The Missouri Pacific Railway with its
system resembling a net work of lines
In the great southwest, runs fine trains
Of palatial cars by direct and agree
able route to Pueblo, and there con-
nections are made with Americas
most popular scenic route, the Denver
and Rio Grande Railway, in whose
cars the public are carried into the
very heart of the great mountain
range, through canyons Of dizzy depth
and along the busy sparkling waters
which came from Snowland and
brought its GOODNESS with them. There
are very many delightful places in the
Rockies and plenty of sport for the
hunter and fisher. He displays excel
lent judgment who steals some time
from his business and uses it in the
pursuit of a favorite sport and for the
benefit Of his health. The Rio Grande
western Is a natural connection of
these two systems already mentioned,
carrying their passengers still further
toward the western outposts, into still
more. remote sporting country, and
where forest and canyon wear their
natural beauty the longer, and so, to
the Desert City by the Great Salt Lake.
There is no more delightful short tour
and it can be accomplished with COM

over a desk in the heat of summer is
Improbable and unremunerative self
sacrifice and should not be endured
when GOODNESS and health are so near
at hand. These railway systems make
travel a pleasure, and nature. ever

have not yet decided to take summer
trip, decide now to do so, and get out
of the heat into the GOODNESS of Colo
