RAILWAY MILEAGE AND EARN.
 INGS,

Poor's Manuel for 1907, just is sued, is instructive on the point of reasonableness of average American railway rates. The completed mi leage at the beginning of 1907 was 222,635 miles, an incrase of 3,294 miles over the previous year. The average recepits for passenger car ried were 2.O11 cents per mile, against 2.O2SS the year before-an appreciable decrease. The average freight rate per ton per mile was 766-thousandth of a cent, as against 77S4-thousandth in 1905. The aver age interest rate on railway bonds in 1906 was 3.99 per cent, and the average dividend on all stock was 3.63 per cent. These returns are smaller than are expected on capl- tai invested In most kinds of busi- ness. The total liabilities of all railways in the United States were 7,5354,3S1, of which $7,851- 1O7,778 was bonds and $7,1O6,408.- 976 was stock. There were other bond obligations and accrued lia- pilities of various kinds exceeding 1000. Gross earnings were s2,346,64O,2S6; net s790,1S7- 712. Tn passenger earnngsi were S521, ,231,377, freight, s1,659,925,- 643; other $165, ,4S3,306. The oper- ating expenses were $1,556, 452,- 574 The number of passengers carried was S15,774,11S, and the passenger mileage was 25,S42,462,- 029, and the freight mileage, 216,- 65 3,795696.

THE CONSUMER PAYS THE.
 SCOT,"

The prospect of serious short age in anthracite coal should the coming winter be severe is receiving considerable attention just now. 4 further price increase in any case seems probable to the New York Journal of Commerce. "The repre-. sentative of one large shipping trm,'' says the Journal of Com merce in discussing the situation.
 Is quoted as declaring that tn
 general situation is serious and D., charging it mainly to Tabor condi- tions.' If there is a coal shortage this winter he is reported as say. ing, the people can charge it up .o labor unions. Not only have the wages of miners been increased, bu. they are made so independent that they shorten not only their hours but their days and their weeks of labor. This operator said that his concern could not get enough men to work the mines to their full ca pacity, but it is largely because the men employed will not work 70 their full capacity. They are mostly Poles, Hungarians and Lithuanians and take holidays and days off to suit themselves. Some of them will not work at all during the summer. They are not thrifty, and when they can earn enough in twenty days of the month Or less they re- fuse to work more and care noth- ing for the consequences to the pub He, of which they are in fact pro- foundly ignorant. These are the men who are organized to demand high wages and short hours and who restrict production, while the great public of consumers pays the scot"
 So no one need suppose, because the Pennsylvania miner did not take his vacation in the form of a strike this year. that coal is going to touch any low figure. Some of the complaints against him read very much indeed like those now heard in the South against the colored brother. The great under lying trouble in Pennsylvania, how ever, evidently is that the big op- orators and the miners are in league against the public. There is trust of each, they fix things up between themselves, and the public has no choice but to pay the bill or freeze In fact, a tendency for trusts of capital and labor to form close al- Hances and pass the increased charges further on has been con- spicuously observable in late years, remarks the Charlotte Observer.

DEATH OF MANSFIELD.

The death of Richard Mansfield on the 3Oth ut. at the compara- lively early age of 50 years deprlVeS the American stage of it's foremost
 actor and a producer who has done
 at least as much as any other man
 in this country to elevate the artls-
 tic standards of the drama. MT.
 Mansfield was the Henry Irving or
 this country. He acted for acting's
 sake and he loved the art for it's
 own sake. He never pandered to a
 low taste, and he never surrender ed an artistic ideal for the sake Of
 gain. He made fortunes, only to spend them in productions which were reflex and an epitome or hls genius in this line Long before oth- CT producers who have since become rich and famous had dazzled the eyes of the American theatergoing public with their stage pictures,
 Mir. Mansfield had set about his work of educating the dramatic taste of the people up to something of his own conception of the dig nitv and educative possibilities Of the drama.
 Opinions may differ as to his personal ability as an actor, but no one will withhold from him the praise that is due him for his ser vices in the cause of art. For many years he was the great stellar at traction in the theatrical season the country. A Mans field production was certain to be the last word of historic fidelity, artistic discretion and pictorial splendor. He recast his box office receipts into these great recepeta- cles year after year, keeping for only the modest share and to the public most of what it had given to him. To his lasting credit it may be said that he never made a production from a mercenary motive. On the con- trary, he often braved public clam or and by the sheer force of his genius convinced the people that they should like what he gave them.
 Mir. Mansfield had his eccentric ities. but they were hardly big enough to be even faults. Genius is always a reason, if it is not an ex- cuse, and now that he is dead, only the sense of loss cOnfronts the the atersoers of the country, mingled, it is to be hoped, with keener ap- preciation of what he has done for them in the past. There may be others to take his place, but not any whose names occur at the mo- ment combines so many of the qualities of premiership in the va ried lines of Mir. Mansfield's activity as actor, manager, producer, litera- teur, and lover of the great art to which he dedicated his life. Now that the last exit has been made and he has gone to felicity, all who have seen him will wish for him 
 Good night, sweet prince,
 And flight of angels sing thee to
 thy rest"
