Taken Up-General Notes.

The fiscal year with the leading railroads
will end June 30, and the interval is so
shoSt that fair estimates of general results
are possible. The year now closing may
be spoken of properly in familiar phrase
as the banner year of gross earnings.
Many good judges. in the summer of 1901.
believed the elimination of industrial ac-
tivity to have been reached. but, much
to their surprise 1902 showed still greater
revenues for the railroad companies. aid
now comes 1903 with record ahead of all
predecessors. With few isolated exceptions
the rule is increased returns since last
summer; the anthracite coal carriers alone
may make unfavorable exhibits, and even
these roads are fast recovering the ground
lost by the strike Taking all in ALL the
results of railway operations of the current
fiscal year have been extremely satisfac-
tory to railway managers and owners, and
all the more so because a belief prevailed
that 1902 would end the unexceptionally
good times with railways. OF late the
monthly reports have been watched with
peculiar interest of evidence of the general
change in an increase in net earnings, which
were not so favorable as the gross earn
ings. Since the beginning OF the spring.
however, a change has come and at present
both gross and net earnings for the most
part disclose gains. Indications are that
there will be no falling off In earnings the
remainder of the year. One OF the strik-
ing characteristics of 1902 and 1913 mas
been the increase In cost OF labor. material
and supplies, and on the other hand con-
tinued appropriations OF surplus income Ior
additions and improvements.

Bishop Alerding Again.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journals
The remarks by Bishop Alerding at the
Columbia Club banquet regarding educa-
ton in the public schools of this country,
shows conclusively that his knowledge of
public sentiment on this question is indeed
limited. The parochial schools are here only
by permission, and il behooves those who
have them in charge to make them equal,
If possible, to the public schools before
condemming the latter. Is ii not strange,
indeed, that anyone should have the hardi-
hood to attempt even TO make COMPARE
son between the two. when the results of
both are so well known.
Will the good bishop kindly turn his eyes
towards Italy and ask himself If he thinks
il would be wise for the people of the
United States to adopt the system of edu-
cation that was in vogue in that country
for hundreds of years. And why should this
country adopt a system of education that
has been condemned in others for want
of suff1ciency? TEACHER.

The RhOdOra.

On being asked. Whence is the flower.
In May, when sea-winds pierced our solitudes,
found the fresh Rhcdora in the woods
Spreading its lea3ess blooms in damp nook,
To please the desert and the sluggish brook.
The purple petals. fallen In the pool
Made the black water with their beauty gay:
Here might the red bird come his plumes 20 cool,
And court the flower that cheapens his array.
Rhodora! II the sages ask thee why
This charm is wasted the earth and sky,
Tell them. dear. that II eyes were made for see
ing.
Then Beauty is its own excuse for being;
Why thou vert there o rival OF the rose.

But In my simple Ignorance. suppose

BAXTER CASE DISMISSED.
II Law Of 1897 II Upheld $4,000 Per-
SONS Would BE Exempt.

SONS Would BE Exempt.
The petition Of Edward e. Baxter for q
writ OF probation to prevent the county
treasurer from levying on his personal
property for delinquent taxes has been dis
missed in the Circuit Court. The petitioner
claimed the assessed value of his property
was less than 800 and based his petition on
a law enacted by the Legislature Of 1897.
Treasurer Koehne's attorney demurred to
the petition on the ground that the Circuit
Court would not have right to issue 6
writ of probation against an individual.
The demurrer was sustained. Treasurer
Koehne says that in collecting taxes he
proceeds on the theory that every person
is entitled to pay some tax, and people who
have refused to pay their taxes have been
levied on regardless of the value Of their
property. He declares that this law of
1897 has never been needed and that If il
should be upheld in test case over 1900
people in this city who now pay taxes
would be exempt.

While a domestic in the house Of w. A.

asked him what he wanted in the house
and he replied that he was the gas inspect

house. On investigation 1T was found that
the gas company has no inspector of his
