very healthy sign, as 1t shows how,
independent of New York city, the
commerce and industry of our great
country is forging ahead over it's en-
tire area. Week before last the total
ealearings were $3.119,OO0,0OO, a gain of
100000, or SO per cent.
Railroad earnings are an excellent
business barometer. Here is the Penn
sylvania, with for September only
$4,000 less than 100000 increase In
gross and a net gain of $924,0OO. Gain
ing almost $1,O00,oOO net in one month
on one road is big, very big, even for
this land of big things. And the Penn
sy1vania is not the only gaining rail-
road by any means. In September
fifty-two roads earned $S9, 100000 gross
and $33, 100000 net, gains of S.31 and
III per cent respectively, with much
of the new equipment, particularly the
requirements, charged to operating ex-
penses.

bushels of corn and $4,000 bushels of

II there are signs Of industrial panic
as some profess to see there is moth
ing in the above to indicate the near
approach of hard times. We have
grown into an expectancy Of regular
occurrences OF business depression and
this expectant attitude Is one Of the
serious causes Of the lack Of conf
dence that assists in the creation Of
hard times periods. But 1t is hard for
even the professional pessimist to find
reasons for the faith within him in the
reports OF commercial agencies, the
statistics Of Industrial operations or
the condition of the country at large.

T LOOKER.ON IN IOWA

Rockwell, Nov. ia recent spec
ial from Des Moines. to the Record
Herald, is that Robert Kissick, Of
Oskaloosa, has made public letters from
Governor Cunlnins, Senator Allison,
Senator Dolliver and members mem
bers Of the house of representatives
from Iowa on the subject of revising
or striking out the iron and steel sche-
dule in the Dingley tariff. Governor
Cummins wrote that his recent Des
would favor an elimination of duties
on iron and steel, but that if he were
a member of Congress he would vote
to reduce the tariff on these articles
one-quarter to one-half.
Senator Allison does not favor plac-
ing iron and steel on the free list, but
adds: Il have no doubt the iron and
steel schedule can be modified by re-
duction on some articles. 1t must be
borne in mind, however, all the time
that the present iron and steel schedule
has been brought down to us thru
changes for many years. Whatever
there is in this schedule both political
parties are responsible for, and what
ever criticisms are made can be made
as we'll for the democratic bill of 1894
as of the republican bills Of 1880 and
1897"
Senator Dolliver says: ut Is prob
albe that some of these duties are too
high, and if the question could be sep
arated from the general disturbance
of the tariff law would have no hes
itation in voting to reduce many of
them I would not, however, feel that
this reduction of iron and steel pro-
ducts, for so great demand for these
articles in our own country and thru
out the world that the price would un-
doubtedly be controlled by general COM
mercial conditions. / need not add that
1t is not part of my faith that the
adequate protection of our industries
is robbery in any sense Of the word"

To this interesting statement OF
views of our delegation in congress,

that the railroad campaign of educa-
ton has been discontinued and their

GOVERNOR oDELl's pREDIcAMEnT.

Governor Odell Of New York has re-
quested to be called before the COM
mittee Investigating the insurance
frauds in order that he may offer tes-
timony explanatory or in rebuttal OF
the charges brought against him and
testified to by James Hazen Hyde. MIR.
Hyde, it will be remembered, implt-
Gated the governor in the boodling OF
life insurance grafters and Governor
Odell denied the allegations. Then
Mr.. Hyde came back and told 1t over.
Now Governor Odell desires, presum-
ably. to come back with another de-
nial After all there is some use for
the Hydes and grafters Of that ilS.
Exposed they turn on their associates
and give them away. Mr.. Hyde in his
effort to get even opened up another
crypt of uncleanness and graft. He
Furnished new clues and pointed out
new witnesses and these witnesses are
likely to betray more, furnish further
evidence and implicate other grafters.
1t is good thing to crowd all this
home. The Investigating committee,
the policy holders OF insurance COM
panies and the public are under obli-
cations to Mr.. Hyde. Perhaps Cover
nor odell will drop word or two that
may help some: The committee
should call in the Hydes of the other
companies and profit by their vexa-
ton and rage. The principle that hon
est men profit by the falling out OF
rogues holds good.
Governor Odell's explanation will
need confederation. To succeed IN
New York politics is in itself enough
to awaken suspicion in many minds.
Contrary to the axiom Of the law that
assumes innocence until guilt has been
proved New York politics have put the
popular mind into the attitude of re-
curing proof Of innocence. And for
this condition the blame rests not on
the public, but upon the political and
business grafters who have abused its
confidence.

A "yesr POCKET" REVOLUTION.

Americans in the Isle of Pines have
revolted from the Cuban government
to the American government. Theil
claim on this government ds based or
an assertion that General Wooe
turned them over to the Cubans after
they had invested their money in The
DEVELOPMENT of the resources of the
island under an i1nplied pledge of pro-
lection by the United States govern
ment.
The probabilities are that the whole
tempest was fbrewed by the Isle a
Pines Investment company. 1t Is moi
shown that the investors received any
promises outside of those made by the
company that sold the lands. 1t will
be remembered that a strong effort tt
secure advertising by means of q
semi -organized press bureau was made
some several years ago, when the
company was actively engaged in Sc
curing investors and colonists and that
objection was raised at that time con-
corning the ownership Of the island
1t is not likely that the company was
promised other protection than the
country extends to its citizens every
where.
If the Isle Of Pines belongs to Cuba
that government should be permitted
to deal with the revolutionists as may
seem expedient and necessary. The
question for this country to consider is
merely the protection of the individual
rights of such as owe 1t allegiance and
may properly claim protection thru
their citizenship. Any attempt to make
the government party to real es-
tate deal should be tncontinently sal
upon.

NO HOPE FOR THE PEsslMIsT.

While the excitement Of elections and
discussion OF political policies havn
been occupying the center of the stage
of popular attraction for the past
weeks some one with a statistical turn
OF mind has been busy compiling a
bouquet OF business facts that are red
client OF prosperity and indicative OF
the present period Of intense indus
trial and commercial activity. Fac
tories are overworked, railroads are
unable to transport the outgoing crops
and the incoming freigl1ts. Things are
buszing like the appropriately proven
bal beehive.
Car factories, for instance, booked
orders week before last for 5000 box
cars for the Northern Pacific, 500 nat
cars for the Atchison, 1000 box cars
for the Norfolk & Western, and many
other orders. Wheat and -four exports
in one week totaled in wheat measure
ment 6,2s3,000 bushels, or 100000
bushels more than in the correspond
ing week OF last year. Corn exports
also Increased by 65ooOo bushels. Pig
iron stocks are now at such very low
ebb owing to the enormous demand
that 1t Is more than difficult to secure
quotations of prices for deliveries next
year.
Bank clearings are enormous and the
increase week by week over last year
are very large. October, for instance,
exceeded any October since this coun-
try began to do banking business.
