Imnroyine Railroad Earnings.

Detailed reports of the earnings of
the railroads for January and for the
fiscal veal to date show a marked in
crease over the business for the cor
responding period of last year, and
later estimates, covering February
and March, indicate a degree of i'm
provement that is admittedly satisfac-
tory. The compilations have been
made by the New York Financial Re-
view from the reports of railroads to
the Interstate Commerce commission
The figures have the advantage of
uniformity of method and classified
ton as the companies are required by
law to make their returns or the same
business and in the same way. AS a re-
suit, the figures are clearly compar-
able and the totals have a significance
impossible to obtain under the old sys-
TEN of reports.
Reports covering about 100000
miles of railroads, practically all the
big systems being included, show
gross earnings for January of the
present year to have been $146,197,-
S2S, compared with $~13S,276,1S6 for
January, 1908. The earnings were dis
tributed as follows: Freight, SOL
43O,863, as against $94,452,12 in
January, 1908; passenger, s32,717,-
4S1, as against $31.945.992; other
transportation revenue, $10,5S5,728,
against $10,332,130; nontransporta-
ton revenue, $1,463,756, against ST.
555,935. This represents a gross reve-
nue. of $S72.S6 per mile of line as
compared with $S41.4O for January
of last year.
While the gross earnings for Janu-
airy, 1909 we're about $S,00O.000 bet
ter than a year ago, there was but
slight change in the operating expen-
ses of the roads, these amounting to
05,705,5S7 for January last, as
against sos, ,919 for January, a
year ago. The increase was almost
entirely in the items of maintenance
of way and maintenance OF equipment.
The total net. earnings for January,
1909, were $4O,3S2 232, compared
with $33,141,501 for January. 1908.
The figures furnish convincing
proof of the steady return to normal
business conditions. While the rail-
roads suffered heavily in the early
months of the panic, which began in
the fall OF 1907, they are now sharing
fully in the general improvement.

Municipal Consolidation.

The movement for the merger of st.
Paul and Minneapolis under one mu-
nicipal government has reached the
stage in which a commission has been
created by legislative enactment to
draw up a plan OF consolidation of the
Twin cities. II st. Paul and Mime
apolis should be made n the COM
bined city will Immediately take rank
among the top-notchers with a popula-
ton of approximately 500, 900, and
with corresponding business and social
prestige. While Il may take some
time yet before this municipal merger
is perfected, It is certain to eventuate
in the comparatively near future.
The progress made toward the union
of st. Paul and Minneapolis holds up
another object lesson for Omaha and
South Omaha. Omaha and South
Omaha are closer together geograph-
ically and have more interests in com
NOR than st. Paul and Minneapolis.
They are, and for some time have been
in fact, one community. although with
two separate city governments. The
inevitable merger Of Omaha and South
Omaha is likewise merely a matter of
time. the only question being whether
it shall be pushed to completion soon
or let drag along indefinitely while
the benefits that would accrue to both
are in the interval wasted.

WHATS THE UsEf

what lie the use?" is the question that
numbers OF democrats ask themselves.
"Why should we endeavor to maintain
party discipline while an impossible but
perpetual candidate for president remains.
and Is a party worth fighting for while
it's objects are subordinated to the per-
sonal ambitions OF one man and his as
sociates? What would be the value OF a
minor victory over Speaker Cannon II we
are doomed TO defeat again in 1912, and
so long as this mans mastery Is acknowl-
edsed?" Such is the reasoning that brings
despair to the democrats, that takes all
the heart out OF their opposition to repub-
lican policies and leaves to Mr.. Clark the
vain privilege of amusing himself with the
conduct of a make-believe opposition.
Mr. Bryan ought TO be the most discred-
tied politician that has held the leadership
of any great party. No man has had so
many chances. No man has made so little
Of them. No man has embodied so many
paramount issues. No man has so failed
to make any Issue vital. In 1888 Mr.. Cleve-
land led his party TO defeat as a tariff re-
former. but the issue survived and victory
came with il four years later. Mr.. Bryan
In 1895 made free silver virtually the single
issue and was defeated. -Four years later
and still preaching silver he was worse de-
feated. In 1908, representing no idea or
issue that one wildly recalls and project

again defeated, and after bringing this del
uge Of disasters to his party he mistakenly

nomination in 1912. and his party in con-

Former Chancellor Canasld.

DR.. James II. Garfield, who has Just
passed away in New York, guided the
destiny OF the University of Nebraska
as It's chancellor at one of It's most
critical periods, and guided II success-
fully, measured by results. Chancel-
lor Canheld's incumbency lifted our
State university from the rank OF a
secondary school TO that of a college
OF higher education. His work raised
the institution up to the point where
It no longer needed the props OF pre-
paratory departments and laid out the
field into which It has since been ex-
banded.
While in scholarship DR.. Garfield
may not have ranked with some of our
other chancellors, for energy, persist
ence and practical management he
stood unequaled. His contribution to
the University of Nebraska could best
be characterized as that OF an educa-
tional organizer and p~opularizer, and
it anne in just at the time 1t was alb
solutely needed for the future OF the
institution. Not only those who
studied at the university during his
cbancellorship. but also those who
shall study there ever after, will be
the benefciaries OF what he did and
should pay tribute to his memory.
