Real Financial Conditions.

Real Financial Conditions.
It is sad commentary on the intelligence of some
men and some newspapers that for the sake of poll
tics they constantly harp on the subject of COM
plete restoration Of business conditions.
This has got to be sort of fad. Every fellow who
returns from trip east is prone to deliver himself
on the restoration of business and the return of
normal business conditions Bankers belong to this
list They sometimes wax most optimistic and in
sist that times are better than they before they
(the bankerS) had a panic.
There is no use in being pessmistic and the intel
1igent reading and thinking public understand exist
ing conditions There is in tickling the ribs
of your friend who is i'll, to make him think he is
we'll and happy neither should think it raining
when is pouring water down their back.
The plain unvarnished facts are times are hard
The New York Tribune, of date May first, pub
fishes a report from Chicago to the situation,
which will serve as index to the rather astonsh
ing conditions existing in the east and for that
matter in the country, for the railroad situation in
this country today serves as sort of barometer to
the commerce of this grand old country of
This what the Tribune says:
A startling decline in railroad traffic during April
is shown in the bi-weekly statement of SURPRISES
and shortages issued yesterday by the efficiency
committee of the American Railway Association
The statement which is regarded as an excellent
business barometer protrayS conditions 1853 rail
roads of the United States and Canada.
In the fortnight following April 1 the number of
idle suddenly mounted from 1907 to 375,77O
the greatest total in the history of American rail
roads The figures bear out the statements of rail-
road that during the month of April business
conditions have been at a lower ebb than at any
time in the panic. The highest previous figure was
February s. when it reached what was then con-
sidered the immense total of 343 $685.
The above surplus is the largest yet recorded by
the Railway Association. From shortage of cars
there became surplus by the report of November 81
1907. The largest increase reported today was in
coal cars because of the falling off in the demand
since the settlement of the labor troubles in the BIZ
luminous regions, and in the number of box cars

different kinds on recent dates:

AN ILL FATED SHIP.
Mystery and Tragedy That Encom.

Mystery and Tragedy That Eneom.
passed the Great Eastern.
There was a mystery about that i'll
fated ship. Nothing went right with
her. She stuck at the launch, and it
cost an extra $35O,OOO over and above
the sum set aside for the purpose to
get her into the water. On her trial
trip her boilers burst, killing some of
the stokers Then she ran aground
and carried on so outrageously that
her crew thought her surely bewitched.
She had started badly. While she was
building a pay clerk sent by one o.
the contractors with $4,000 in wages
for the men disappeared. 1t was not
unnaturally assumed that he had bolt
ed with the money. His wife and
family were left unprovided for, with
the stigma Of his supposed crime upon
them.
Thirty years after her launch the
Great Eastern went into the cemetery
at Rirkenhead to be broken up. While
she was being taken to pieces the ship
breakers discovered between her inner
and outer castings OF steel the skeleton
Of q man. Papers which had fallen
from his clothes enabled his identity
to be traced. 1t was the skeleton Of
the pay clerk who thirty years before
had disappeared. There was no mon
ey; that was never recovered.
The supposition is that the poor fel-
low on going on to the ship was pounc-
ed upon by wOrkmen who knew that
he had the money with him; that they
stunned him and. having a small place
In the side Of the vessel to complete.

in it. No reward would have induced

he and his gang had attacked and
that his comrades in their haste to

Of policy which would bring disas-

may have suffered. That would not
be sensible. We think the public is
entitled to protection, not only from
railroad corporations, but also from
legislatures which act hastily and
thouehtlessly sometimes. when action
should be taken only after delibera-
ton and searching inquiry. We cam
not conceive that enlightened south

more railroads. 1t wants better
equipment for the railroads it 1ow

difficult to secure outside capital for
these purposes unless it can convince
investors that their bonds and stocks
will be protected from the hostility
and, in many cases the ignorance OF
legislators.
About the tenth Of the wealth Of
this nation is represented by railroad
property. A vast army of toilers de-
pend upon the railroads for wages.
The money which the railroads dis
burse in wages and equipment finds

channels of business. Therefore
when state legislatures undertake to
