The Washington officials have taken
the matter up and decided to give the

After much consultation, Inglese
pleaded guilty and was released on

This Is healthy and good condi.
ton, but it does not necessarily in
dictate prosperity at home. On the
contrary it means that the home
market does not absorb the manu-
features and they are forced to look
abroad for market.
Corresponding to the increase in
exports is decrease in i'm
ports In December imports
dropped to $92,000000, as COM
pared with $134,00O,000 in De-
cember of the previous year, and
in January to $S6,000,000 as COM
pared with $127,0O0,000 of the year
before. Which means that the
scarcity of money during those
months found its reflection in the
smaller amount of goods bought
abroad OF course this decrease af-
fected the tariff revenues of the

Then the elephant, which is the
only animal except man and the
monkey whose knees bend forward,
would have outstripped us.
He would have stood on his
hind legs as we do, developed his
fore paws into hands and developed
his brain, which is five time as
large as ours.
Then he would have had his
trunk in addition, to grasp and hold
what his hands could not clutch.
Let us thank God that the ele-
plant did not think of standing up
straight, else we might have been
his slaves and waiting his orders in

BY gibson GARDNER.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March A.
Business is on the upgrade. Rail-
road revenues have begun to inn
prove.
For the first time since the panic
struck in November have there been
any figures in the government re-
ports forecasting an early return of
prosperity. Now there are such
figures. The improvement in rail-
road earnings is undeniable.
Experts in railroad accounts have
one figure which they watch as in
dicating the run Of railroad bust
ness. This figure is the total OPP
Grating revenue" in proportion to
the total number of miles oper-
ated." Long experience has shown
that the normal revenue of a
railroad is about $1,000 a mile.
Thus the normal return of the
222, 900 miles of railroad, making
reports to Washington, would be
s222,000,000. If the total operating
revenue shows larger than this the
month is an abnormally good
month. If it is less the month is
an abnormally poor month.
Thus. the month of October, 1907
was an abnormally good month,
and the total operating revenue of
$4,000 miles Of road reporting was
$24S,000,00O.
The month of November showed
the effects of the panic; but not the
full effects. For that month 221. 900
miles of road reporting showed
$21S.000, 900 revenue.
Then came December with the
worst returns, namely $4,000 miles
of road reporting $157, 100000 rev.
enue.
The reports for January are not
all in, but enough mileage is at
hand to show that the January
revenues, instead of decreasing,
have begun to pick up. The per-
centage Of improvement will prob
ably be found to be considerable
But the main thing is that the turn
ing point has been passed, and the
revenues are on the upgrade.
All of which is of the highest i'm
portance in view of the fact that
railroad officials are threatening to
reduce wages, alleging decreasing
revenues as the impelling cause for
such decreases.
Another very important indica-
ton of the condition of business is
the cheapening of money. Reports
coming to the controller of the cur
rency show that the national banks
are now glutted with money. The
rate on "call loans" in New York is
less than per cent.
But more significant than the
rate on "call loans is the fact that
all the national banks are now
climbing over one another to re-
tire their bank note circulation.
The law frbids the retirement of
this circulation on any rate more
rapid than 100000 a month. This
limit has been reached in applica-
tons for February, March and April.
Attention has been called in
some quarters to the sudden in
crease in our exports. For Janu-
airy, 1908, they were 100000 900, as
compared with s189, 100000 in Jan
uary of 1907. December exports
