Charles F. Murphy, leader. of Tam many Hall, the Democratic organiza- tion of New York city, and power In state politics, according to persons who are in his confidence, never again will sit as head of the Tammany del- egation in a Democratic state conven- tion. Reports that he intended to re- tire from his leadership have been current before, but they nave never come to such definite form as thea come now from the lips of his friends. According to these statements, the man who for the last 15 years has wielded the scepter in Tammany Hall, through good and evil fortune, with out any one ever seriously disputing his leadership, is determined in all events to retire on Dec. 31, 1917. It is the fond hope of the Tammany chief tain that by that time he1 will have added to the list of his political achievements straightout Tammany victory in a New York city mayoralty campaign

SMALL RAILWAY DIVIDENDS.

Ask a man of fair intelligence, one who is not a stockholder, how the railways fared in the fiscal year 1915, in the matter of earnings. applicable to dividends, and he probably will not give 3 satisfactory answer. It would, perhaps, astonish him to learn that the actual sum paid out in dividends in 1915, $32S,477,938, was smaller than in any year since 1909, while the average rate on all stock, 3.80 per cent, was the smallest since 1905, and that, the percentage of railway stock. to wit, 60.45 per cent, on which dividends were declared was the low est since 1904. Of course the volume of stock outstanding tends to increase annually, because Improvements are always essential, and 1t must also be allowed that the railways did poorly in the latter half of 1914, which peril cd forms part of the fiscal year 1915. But in studying railway earnings, the effects of wages, taxes and costs of operation in general, one must take into consideration the vagaries of fortune over the years. A
