Passenger Business of 1902.

The volume of passenger traffic In 1902
exceeded the most sanguine expectations of
general passenger agents, as in 1901 more
passengers were handled than In any former
year. and that 1902 would exceed 1901 was
a genuine surprise The first four months
of 1902 passenger traffic was light and off,
Gals were anxious about the outcome OF
the years business. At this time excur-
sion travel and travel to conventions and
meetings in all parts of the country set
in briskly and continued very large until
the 1st OF November. the Sunday excur-
sion traffic being fully % per cent. i'm ex-
cess of any former year. General passeH-
ger agents who carefully investigated the
matter concede that this did not cut into
regular business to an extent which would
be important. in general results, as through
business with the prosperous times has
been unusually good.

still, the passenger earnings OF the Big
over 1901 and this Is more remarkable
when IL is taken into consideration that the
Big Four had the Buffalo exposition travel
to overcome. II. NJ. Bronson, assistant
passenger agent of the Big Four says that

shows q handsome increase. IL being in

Harry Rhein general passenger agent OF
the Lake Erie < Western, is proud OF the
record he has made the first year or MS
service in that position. The Sunday ex-
of any year since ii has been inaugurated,
while the general travel has been highly
satisfactory; every week of 1902 has SHOWN
more or less increase over 1901.

agent of the Pennsylvania and Vandalia,

division of the Pennsylvania system and on

r. P. Algeo. district passenger agent OF
the Monon, the Cincinnati, Hamilton &
apolis Western. says he has no
reason to complain of the results
In the line of passenger traffic with the
three lines he represents. The Sunday ex-
cursion business to Cincinnati over the u,
Il & ID. was not as heavy as in 1901, put
the revenue was in excess of the previous
year. The Monon had record-breaklng

at least, and its business In connection
with the Cincinnati Hamilton a Dayton Is
very gratifying to Traffic passenger a MAJ
ager Edwards and TO General Passenger
Agent Reed. The Niagara Falls excursions
yielded about the same results as In l9l,
although not as well patroniZed Tor the
reason that the rates were higher In ~.
The interchangeable mileage books, after
a test of five years. have become popular
with not only travelling statesmen. but win
persons who travel many miles in the year.
Without question, there has never Deen

The excellent business the roads have done
gives evidence that people have plenty OF
money and are returning to their old hapit

A Hard Year for scalpers.

The ticket scalper in Indianapolis was In
hard lines during 1902. The general pas
senger agents held their local agents rigid
ly in line in the matter of dealing with the
scalpers, and this greatly curtailed their
business. The interchangeable mileage
books are now in such shape that scaipers
can utilize them but little and not at all
without running considerable risk. The
failure of Congress to pass bill preventing
scalping of tickets gave them some encour-
agement, but the lines were drawn so close
ly by the passenger officials that to do bust
ness with pleasure or good financial results
was very difficult. They managed to get
little out of the Sunday excursion business
and persons who held tickets which, AFTER
purchasing, they decided not to use, put
the roads redeeming such tickets TO SO
large an extent that 1t cuts on this line OF
revenue. Representatives of the Centrai
Passenger Association have made frequent
tests of the market, and as a result the
weak well the stronger lines give the
scalpers a cold shoulder. There are now
but two scalping offices that are open con-
tinually. but there are a half-dozen others
that open on Sunday during the excursion
season and handle that class of business
when they can secure tickets to any advan-
tage. The large number of excursions TO
the city during the summer months enables
them to get a little money out of that line
of business. Still, they find 1t difficult to
make money Is in former years.

The Railway Age will this morning pub
lish the statement of new mileage built
In 1902 the number of roads that went into
the hands of receivers and the number of
foreclosures, as follows: Miles of new road
built, 5,549. bringing the mileage of the
country up to 2O4,336; during the year but
five roads were placed in the hands of re-
ceivers, aggregating 27s miles. Eighteen
roads were sold and reorganiZed, aggre-
eating 693 miles, and capitalized at about
$40000,CO0 The Age says of local lines that
the Chicago & Southwestern. which had
been in a chronic state of impecuniosty
for years, has been bought by strong
company and placed under a receiver for
the purpose of Strengthening out the title.
AS a matter of history 1t may be added
that the ST. Louis, Vandalia & Terre Haute.
a prosperous road whose securities are
practically all owned by the Pennsylvania
Company, was placed under a receiver at
the suit of a minority stakeholder who
claimed a larger interest in the earnings:
but the road does not belong in the list of
insolvents. The only important road in the
list. the Terre Haute e. indianapolis, rep
resenting 432 miles, including leased lines,
is controlled by the Pennsylvania, and
could be restored to the company If the
stockholders so desired. This deducted
would reduce the insolvent roads to S3S
miles-a wonderful change in a few pros
porous years.

THE HIGHEST DIPLOMACY.
That by Which the Condition of q
Fallen Race II Bettered.

Brooklyn Eagle.
OF all forms of diplomacy the highest and
the noblest Is that whereby a nation seeks
the good of those with whom it has no di-
rect concern. The minding of other folks
business is not always meddling. Occasion
ally the process may be finely altruistic,
as 1t was when Secretary Hay sent his APP
peal on behalf of the Roumanian Jews to
the powers that signed the last treaty of
Berlin. The thought and expression of that
appeal, the inspiring effect of it upon the
English Foreign Office, the approval given
to it in the capitals of Germany and France
and the apparent carelessness and indiffer-
ence with which it was received in Buchar-
est. will be readily recalled. The net result
of Mr.. Hays protest was at first small.
Enlargement of 1t was not Immediately
promised. But it was sufficiently potent in
detail and in emphasis to call the attention
of the world to the degraded and helpless
condition of large element in the popula-
ton of a state whose semi-dependent ex-
istence had been guaranteed by great
powers of Europe and which was, there
fore, in measure amenabe TO the dictates
of the neighboring chancelleries. The
amount of official pressure, if any, put
upon the Ministry at Bucharest has not
been stated. Ii Is probable that some init
nations" were received from London after
the Foreign Office had Endorsed by repe-
tition the document sent out by our State
Department. 1t is possible that Berlin anu
Vienna, moving under the pressure brought
to bear by financial interests that, for ra-
cial reasons, are Sympathetic with the dis
tressed Jews may have secretly urged a
change in the internal policy of Roumania.
But whatever may have been the force or
forces that finally decided the issue for
humanity, the fact remains that the initia-
tive in a benefcent movement was volun-
tarily assumed by country that has little,
if any, direct concern with the situation
opened by 1t for general discussion
From Bucharest we now learn that Jews
are to be admitted to the very considerable
that Roumania is determined to demon
strate her federation to the world. Time
alone will show whether the ministerial
promise of to-day is to be observed or
repudiated tomorrow. We know that Rou-
mania has recently sought to re-enter the
money markets of Europe a borrower.
1t may be that her sudden yielding to the
requests Of Secretary Hay and OF Lord
Lansdowne is due less to her regard Tor
the international sentiment expressed by
those functionaries than to a very natural
desire to propitiate men whom she would
like to class among her creditors. but
whose purse strings will not loosen as
| long as she persists in her career of In
| tolerance and persecution. But while a
| doubt exists Roumana is entitled to the
benefit of 1t, and We may therefore assume
| that the definitely expressed Willingness tC
ameliorate tho condition of the Jews resi-
| dent within ner borders Is attributable tC
| a conscience awakened by a protest thai
| was enlightening and stimulating without
being minatory.

MERIT WELL RECOGNIZED.
Promotion of Cervera to He Spain's
Naval Chief Of STAFF.

Naval Chief Of stan.
Brooklyn Eagle.
According to a Madrid dispatch Vice Ad-
miral Cervera. who lost his entire squadron
in the memorable fight off the harbor of
Santiago. has been appointed chief of staff
in the Spanish navy. In this position he
will supervise the work of reorganization
and rebuilding made necessary by the war
of 1895. He will assume responsibilities
onerous and exacting for a man of his
years, and, to the best of his admittedly
large abilities, will give to his country that
profitable service which she has the right
to expect. Americans generally will re-
joice to know that worthy antagonist has
not failed since his return to Spain, TO
receive the recognition due TO an honorably
sustained defeat. That the Spanish fleet
made no better showing in the fight from
It's cuban refuge was not the fault OF Its
commander. Crews that had never been
trained to shoot with heavy guns because
target practice cost so much could not be
drilled in craftsmanship to meet the ex-
Sf the t the
squadron and the Spanish naval system, II
also established the courage, devotion and
determination of an officer who worthily
represented the nation that once produced
the finest warriors in the world The SUBJ
sequent residence of that officer I'm this
country as a prisoner of war served to in
crease the universal respect and esteem
inspired by his behavior in the trying cir
cumstances of a losing fight and his fire.
quently and emphatically expressed appre-
citation of the treatment accorded to him
by those among whom he was an involun-
tary guest, did not little to allay the in
ternational bitterness of the time. The ex-
perience acquired by Admiral Cervera of
modern warfare on a certain fine Sunday in
July was dearly purchased, but the price
was not too high if the lessons then
learned enabled him to put the new Span
ish navy upon footing of real and not
paper efficiency.

SUPPORTS ROOSEVELT.


Detroit Free Press.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Cleveland's sturdy
vindication of the Monroe doctrine was the
one act of his administration that even his
bitterest enemies did not condemn. any
discussion of that doctrine on his part has
an Importance even greater than that gen.
orally conceded to the public statements of
all former Presidents of the United States.
Mr.. Cleveland has waited until the Vene-
zuela furry subsidized before expressing
even a yelled opinion as to the administra-
tons course: but II cannot fail to crafty
the friends of the President to learn that
Mr. Cleveland Is in the closest sympathy
with Mr.. Roosevelt's Interpretation OF
Monroeism in this instance.
Mr. Roosevelt, in his last annual mes
sage, said: mo independent nation in
America need have the slightest fear of
aggression from the United States. 1t be-
hooves each one to maintain order within
it's own borders, and to discharge its just
obligations to foreigners. When that Is
done they can rest assured that, be they
strong or weak, they have nothing to dread
from outside interference"
In this connection Mr.. Cleveland has the
following to say In his recent interview:
ITO use the Monroe doctrine under any
circumstances as shield to debtor nations
which happen to be on this hemisphere
would be a of 1T never intended nor
foreseen by President Monroe. There is a
vast difference between territorial ag-
grandizement, and the legitimate collection
of debts lawfully contracted and justly
owed"
The President and the former President
are thoroughly in accord on this question,
and il is time the American people came
to understand the limitations of the Mon
roe doctrine. There is no excuse for an
incipient war scare every time a European
power undertakes to assert it's valid rights
in South America. Mr.. Cleveland calls at
tention to the fact that during his own adj
ministration there were two instances of
the forcible collection of debts in South
America, by England, one in Venezuela
and one in Corinto, Nicaragua; but no ac-
ton was taken by the government. He
might have gone further, and asserted that
i'm 1859 the government of the United
States did precisely what Germany and
Great Britain have been doing. President
Buchanan sent a strong American fleet up
the river Plata to collect from President
Lopez certain claims held by the United
States against the republic of Paraguay.
In the case Of the Nicaragua incident to
which Mr.. Cleveland refers. Great Britain
actually landed marines at Corinto, and
maintained a British governor there until
its claims were satisfied.
Mr.. Roosevelt. In the Venezuelan Incl
dent, has neither added to nor subtracted
from the Monroe doctrine as IL came TO his
administration from former administra-
tions. He has interpreted 1t exactly as he
found 1t, and there has been no surrender
of any element of vitality

Balancing.

Cast up the sum OF good resolves
With which we met the year;
Upon the lengthy debit side
Let all the faults appear:
Write down the good we did not do
The goals we have not won
But write in sturdy characters
The bad We have not done.
Let all the merit we have acquired.
In figures firm and fair,
All luminous and fine to see
Be boldly written there;
And put the good we meant to do
The good but half begun
And write, high on the credit side,
The bad we have not done.
IT'S hard to live in gentleress;
Ills hard to make the year
A page-a blotless page OF joy,
And honesty. and cheer:
TITS harder yet the evil things
That all besot, to shun-
So write I'm brave and honest strokes
The bad we have not done.
The good we meant 70 do-the deeds
So oft misunderstood:
The thwarted good we try to do,
And would do. IL we could;
The noble deeds we set upon
And have accomplished none
Write them-and with them credit all
The bad we have not done.
