American Scrap Heap

One of the most significant of recent
statement is made by the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad that it is about to send 10000
freight cars through in serviccable condi-
ton. to the scrap heap as fast as prac-
ticlblc. or else sell them to the minor
rords where the highest efficiency IS less
needfu. These will be replaced by cars
made of pressed steel and of the most adj
|inced type in perfection of equipment
No doubt this great railroad, which has
been i'll many ways the most progressive
i'll the world, would not have ventured
on such Wholesale renovation hard not the
promise of present and future trailaportu-
ton interests been so stimulating 1t is
most encouraging that preSciencc and sa-
GAcity in such high quarters point to IL
c!ondlesS business horizon. Nor have
there been lacking eloquent indications
on the part of our other big railroads
Of Il similar lavish vet really economical
poMcy toward pcIfccting equipment. both
Of fixed p!Hnt and rolling stock.
Yet the Importance 1T the Overlooking
Str"r head in sliAmprican industrial pro
ct%ScS has been Il markworthy fact for a
GOOD while. For the Inst 80 years Mt
c:lst orr manufacturers in every line of
production have recognized the truest
economy in keeping abreast with the very
'Htest improvements in mechanism The

Indispensable feature of system.
The great American scrap heap. then.
is the mound ur~r which the banner of
oar industrial greatness has been planted
The Pennsylvania roAa in making such
'm apparent sacrifice. pays homage to a
most important principle, and confirms
conti'once in that sagacity which has nd
mtrdly guided its management in the
I'st. To carry as many tons rs possible
with the leatt expense Of traction and
maintenance is the ideal That can only
be achieved by the biggest, most power
ful locomotives the most oapaciOus cans
in ratio to weight and strength. heavy
mctslled tracks and the most solid road
beds. When this bettermcnt shall have
become common railroads will pay bigger
dividends on lower rates. The sense of
true econCmy finds in the continually
growing scrap head one of the most strik-
ing factors to this end.

the late Eugene Higgins, of Maryland,
was appointed clerk of the treasury and
the number of people protected by the
regulation was small in comparison with
the army of men and women now work
ing for Uncle Sam without fear of being
removed OH account of political afiila-
tons.
STATE HAS FEW CONSULS.
As such an important order has gone
forth it is interesting to mention just
, how many Maryland men are now hold
ing consular positions. The list isn't one
to be proud of, considering that the Re
public,ns carried the State the year pre-
vious to the first election of President
Mckinley and had a Republican Sena-
tor for six years since then, but Mary
land Republicans have the consolation
at least that they secured more of these
places than We're given to some other
States.
The consular list for Maryland is as
follows:

Germany; straight salary of $4,000, with

worth probably $1,000 year. He
