RAILROAD RECElVERSHIPS ARE Few

THE record of railroad receiverships
and foreclosures for the six months end
ing June 80 1903. Is in many respects
remarkable and shows an unprece-
dented prosperity, which it is hoped
may continue.
During the half year receivers were
appointed for only five unimportant
railroads, having total mileage of
seventy nine miles, a bonded debt of
IS, Clio, 600 and capital stock of 1885, 000
The largest railroad in the list is the
Muscstine North aud South Railroad
operating only twenty miles Of road,
and none Of them can attribute failure
to any Of the conditions affecting rail
roads generally.
For example, the Brooklyn and Rock
away Beach is road depending almost
solely upon summer excursion business
to sea beach. Other roads in the list
had never demonstrated their rights to
exist,
The list Of foreclosures compiled by
the Railway Age gives total of three
roads with mileage of 145 miles, a
bonded debt of 1858, 900 and capital
stock amounting to 5000, 600
During the corresponding period of
1902 there was a total Of eleven fore
closure sales, covering 240 miles of
road and Sl2, 707, 90 of capitalization.
How important the foreclosure record
for the first half of this year is can be
seen when it is stated that the biggest
road sold was the Chicago Southeast
ern, with mileage Of 117 miles and a
picturesque bankruptcy history ex-
tending years back.
The decrease in railroad bankruptcy
is not due entirely to business activity,
for consultations Of railway properties
have exercised a marked influence.
Railroads are now rarely built where
they are not needed, and capital is not
recklessly wasted in constructing lines
with a view OF compelling their pur-
chase. The cut throat policy in rail.
road construction has, in fact, almost
entirely disappeared, thereby materially
reducing the annual crop of receiver
ships.

in the contest of will with his father he
learned self-reliance.
The first important recognition OF his
ability came in his appointment in 1865
to the post of secretary of state for India.
Two years later he became the marquis
OF Salisbury upon the death OF his
father. The next year saw him elected
chancellor Of Oxford University, and in
1874 he was made secretary for India.
In 1875 he took his place among the
worlds great diplomats when at the
close of the war between Turkey and
Servia he was sent as special embassa'
dor to the sublime porte to arrange the
differences between Turkey and Russia.
At the conference of the powers in Con-
stantinople he represented Great Britain
and was accounted the leader OF the
convention. In 1878 he accompanied
Lord Beaconsfield benjamin Disraeli),
the former premier, to the Berlin con-
gress, and for his conspicuous service
there he was awarded the order OF the
Garter upon his return to England. and
shortly afterwards was appointed secre-
tary for foreign affairs. In this capaci-
ty he proved one of the strongest and
most judicious ministers Great Britain
ever produced. His retirement from
the foreign Office in November, 1900,
was \ severe blow to British prestige
abroad and to the Conservative party
at home, at whose head he had been
since 1881.
He became prime munster first in
1885. The next year the Gladstone
ministry won out for short time, but
Salisbury returned for the second time
before the year was over, He went
out again in 1892, when Gladstone and
the Liberals won. but at the fall of the
Rosebury administration in 1895 he
became prime minister for the third
time and his last term began after his
resignation from the foreign Office in
1900, lasting until his voluntary retire
ment from public life in August, 1902.
In private life he was one Of the most
intellectual men of his generation-an
electrician, chemist and experimental
physicist. At Hatfield he built great
workshops and all his leisure time was
spent in his laboratory, where his dis
coveries would have given him a world
wide reputation had his scientific work
not been' overshadowed by his public
career.
His family still are sitting in the
seats of the mighty, for the present
premier, Arthur Balfour, is his nephew
and his son, Sir Hugh Cecil, is leader
in parliament.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors have SO

IHE TARIFF

Nor so very long ago the steel manu-.
facturers stated that the removal of the
tariff from steel would mean ruin to the
American manufacturer and cut in
wages to the laborer, and our country
let the tariff be. Now a letter has
come to light in the book published by
Mr.. Carnegies former secretary in
which Charles Schwab writes to Mr..
Frick and states the following facts.
Steel rails cannot be produced in Eng
land for less than $40 90 per ton actual
cost while the rails can be made in the
Pittsburg mills at Sl2 90 per ton, after
paying transportation charges, be sold
in England at nice margin at a price
that it would cost to make them there.
And yet we have duty of 1884 on
every tons OF rails. Why? So that
England cannot injure our manufactu-
rer. In England the company sold
rails undertaking the English manu-
f&cturers while in America rails have
sold for $2S. 90 the price thatit would cost
to bring the English rails here after
paying the duty. So our government
has made it possible for our manufactu-
rers TO make an additional profit Of 80
per ton. And what is true Of rails is
true of boiler plates and all other steel
and iron goods.

In THE Monona lake address the gov
ernor aroused the whole state by his
bribery charge, then he left the state
for a little advertising trip TO other
states and finally came back to address
the Old Settlers picnic at Kenosha. All
the reporters were there, people had
gathered from far and near to hear the
governor say something more about
bribery or to at least say that he would
impart his knowledge to the attorney
general to have him prosecute the
guilty but ne'er word did the governor
say. he passed it quietly by. Either the
governors charges are not susceptible
to proof or he is himself guilty for con
cealing a crime that it il his duty to
punish.
