THE RAILROAD PROBLEM.
Capital Is Ready as Soon as Invest
ment Is Regarded Safe.

Capital is anxious to go into rail-
road building. If it can do so with
safety. This is the first consideration
If the investment is safe, only a rea-
sonable return is required The coun-
try needs more railroad facilities.
Roads could be built i'm a great many
directions to the profit of everybody.
They would make mans labor more
productive by bringing needed mater
ial to any locality. and by Increasing
the market for what is produced. Few
things are so important as the work
ing out of an adequate arrangement
between the railroads, their employees,
and the public.
Last week we protested against the
desire Of the railroads To raise their
rates, accepting as conclusive Mr..
Brandeis' argument that the mainten-
ance Of the present rates would put n
premium on efficiency, since IL can be
cOnclusively demonstrated that the
roads average thirty per cent below a
reasonable efficiency. The term rea-
sonable is meant merely TO cover what
is easily possible with present knowl-
edge and present labor conditions. IT
does not take into account gains to be
made by inventions or by such
tlement of labor problems as. will g., i
us the advantages of union standards,
without the disadvantages of keying the
work of frst-class men down to the
powers of their inferior associates. The
thirty-per-ce gain that could thus
readily be made requires merely taxi
ing advantage OF the opportunities
that lie open and are realized by lead
ing economic engineers. a well-con-
Quoted road ought TO be allowed to
make more money than a poorly con-
Quoted one. The scheme by which this
end should be brought about has not
vet been worked out. but II should in
clude principles similar TO those which
control the relation OF the gas COM
pany to the city OF Boston; the COM
pany being allowed 10 increase its div
idends I'm proportions as II decreases
it's rates. II shares with the public
the advantage which Is constantly
coming from new methods, and In this
sharing the public takes the larger
part. u-LLl

UNLISTED STOCKS.

]. A. Minnear q co. say today:
The markets today were inclined to
he firm, both at the opening and clos
ing, while during the session there
was some profit taking. From a trad
ers standpoint ii was a fine session.
The fact that he market is awaiting
the Interstate Commissions decision
on freight rates becomes more posi-
tive daily. Until this Is out of the
way we will probably experience more
or less uncasiness. Copper stocks
were dull and covered a comparative
ly narrow range Calumet & Arizona

points. Lake also was in fair de-
mand. on prospects Of favorable de-
vel0pments soon on the Sth level.

crations i'm No. 3 shaft pending re-

ent confined chiefly TO the. 1880. p

work has been the extension OF these

Three good veins have been opened

Good ore is also being mined from

STOCKS

The copper producehs' report was
favorable. showing a decrease of about
100000 pounds. The good news, how
ever, had no effect on the market
prices owing TO the entire absence of
speculation. The close was strong all
through the list, due more however. to
scarcity of stocks than To any active
demand. We feel very bullish on the
eventual course of the coppers but
canot predict the real start will come
but only advise having patience and
courage through this discouraging pc
riod.-Foster of Paine, Webber a. Co.

FIRE IN THE COUNTRY.
Mr.. McDufie Sigh Loses His Resi-
dence and Has No In
Surance.

At 4 o'clock Tuesday morning fire
destroyed the residence Of Mr.. G. Nc
Dufie Sigh near. Ebenezer church.
When Mr.. Sigh discovered the fire it
had just reached the dining room, the
stove room having been consumed.
The flames had gained such Roadway,
spreading rapidly, that Mr.. Sigh had
no chance of saving much in the
house. His first thought was Of his
mother, old Aunt Polly" Sigh, and
the other inmates and his valuable pa
pers. Aside from this all the con-
tents were destroyed with the excep-
ton of the articles in his bedroom.
The fire originated in the stove fue,
supposedly from the fire which had
been made in the stove preparatory
for getting supper the evening before.
The other occupants of the house
were Mr.. Sligh's daughters, Misses
Lille and Sarah. Sigh. The latter
was sleeping up stairs and made q
narrow escape, having been cut off
from the stairway by the smoke when
she attempted to descend, but was
finally rescued from the building
without injury to herself.
Mr.. Sigh had no insurance and his
loss is between $4,000 and $4,000. His
friends have the deepest sympathy
for him in his heavy loss.
