sion authority to make rates, is one
to the effect that in England 40 per
cent. Of the gross earnings of the rail-
roads go TO Capitalize the payment of
interest on bonds and diyidends-and
% per cent 10 labor, while in this
country only 25 per cent. goes to CAPT
tai and AZ per cent. TO labor. This
showing IS OF course calculated 20
create the impression that in this
country labor is treated much more
literally than IN England, which,
doubtless, is the case, and that capital
is dealt with much more generously
In England, which. is hardly the case.
II is probable that the reason that
In England capital gets SO much lsrg-
er per cent Of the gross earnings OF
the railroads is that the amount In
vested IN the reads per mile in that
country is very much larger tnan in
this. The cost of the roads in Eng
land is enormous. They are built %
last for centuries. As a result the
cost of operating them is very much
less. That explains why so much
more of the gross earnings goes 10
capital there tnan here, and SO much
less to labor.
In this country the railroads are
striving all the while TO improve their
properties. They build stronger
bridges and they put in stone ballast
wherever they can afford to do so.
The cost OF the Pennsylvania railroad,
particularly the section between New
York and Philadelphia, cost three
times per mile probably more than
any railroad in the South or West. II
might be no exaggeration to say that
It cost four Or FIVE times per mile
more. In the course OF time, In all
parts of the country where the busi-
ness warrants II. the railroads Will be
built as solidly as the Pennsylvania.
In the meantime, however, railroads

the claim we'll founded? II 1t Is, thete
must be greater skill ana better abiii-
Nv in this country in operating the

This attempt of the Negroes to
force political recognition ought 10 be
a warning to every man who calls
himself a White Democrat.
1t ought, in itself, to be sufficient
reason why every democrat should
support the nominees Of the White

The most of the men who are now

have no more use for the colored

men now to encourage the Negro in

There are, we are glad to say, but
very few men who call themselves
White Democrats who are giving any
encouragement whatever to this move

the Negro. and when the city election
occurs the White Democracy of Pen
