It shows that during the past der the act of April 20, 1874, and sev- enty-nine locomotive and 127 street | railway companies were ip corporated, besides a great deal of miscellaneous | business. The fees for the last twenty- two months amount to $71,677,560, received on the granting of charters, The expense of the department for the same period was $61,104, From this it appears that the fees more than ex- ment by the sum of $10,435,88.

Andrews is a disgrace to his party and braggart such as he, who is in di- rect keeging with the machine politi- cians of the state would seat himself in the legislature against the direct will of the people whom he is suppos- ed to represent. Andrews is a disgrace even to his party. From all sections of the country come reports of this weeks cold spell, the like.
