In ONE OF RAILROADS.
Figures From The interstate Commerce
Commission Report.

The preliminary report of the
income and expenditures of rail-
ways in the United States for the
year ending June 80, 1902, has
just been issued by the interstate
commerce commission. The
mileage represented in this re-
port, which is compiled from the
returns of 663 operating roads, is
1875, 1856. So miles, or about 90 per
cent OF the total.
From the summary of earnings
from operation it is seen that the
gross earnings on 1875, 1858
miles were 81, I'll, 754, 200. For
the year ending June 80, 1901,
the gross earnings on 1875, 56l.92
miles were 1,5SS, 526,O indi-
eating a probable increase dur
ing the year 1902 of about
SIPS, 100000.
Passenger earnings amounted
to $472,429, los, or 27.60 per cent
of the total gross earning; and
freight ST, 200, 1884, 603 of 20. 10
per cent of the total. The aver
age of gross earnings per mile
was So, 761, which was S63S
greater than the average for the
previous year.
The aggregate of operating
expenses for the year was 81, 1O6,
1877, 4O5 an expenditure of S5,661
per mile as compared with the
previous year. The ratio OF
operating expenses to earnings
64.63 per cent is a trifle smaller
than it was for 1901.
The net earnings of the rail
ways covered by this report were
S605, 616, 795, an increase over the
previous year of S51, 1916, 421

although we will say that it was
aired in Justice Beckwith's court
on Monday, before a jury, and
that after remaining out all night
that body failed to agree, and it
will have to be aired again. 1t
appears that the Evangelical
church of that place brought suit
against Oscar Goar, eX-treasurer
of the League to recover S24,l5
which was in the League treas
ury, and which it appears the
church and League both claim.
Notwithstanding the fact that
the costs of the case will be many
times more than the amount in
volved, it is a poor example for a
church to enter into law suit. $3.50

The above indicate that the
parties interested in this suit
have forgotten or willfully dis
regarded the advice given by St.
Paul to the Corinthian brethren.
In the 9th chapter of 1st Corin-
thians, LIST verse, says:
Dare any of you having a
matter against another, go to
lawW
The 9TH verse, says:
Nov, therefore, there is ut
terly fault among you, because
We go to law one with another,
why do We not rather take wrong?
Why do ye not suffer yourselves
to be defrauded?"
Personally, we know nothing
OF the case except as quoted
above, but let who may be wrong
in the matter, from a Christian
point of view going to law over
the matter is not justifiable. A
continuation of wrong can not
make it right and the best thing
the parties of the controversy
can do yet is to get together and
compromise the matter without
further litigation.
