Fiom an ollli lal nbstiact of tho sta tistical icport of the Interstate Com meico lominlsMon fur the vonr ended Juno CO, 1S90, iccently distributed, some facts and figures of Intel est nro gleaned. Tho lepoit tteats of a peilod now somewhat distant, but tho show ing mndo is nevei tlieless woithy of attention. For example, one year ago Id Ametl can lallionds, lupresentlng 30,473 miles of mileage out of a total of 1S.,777, or about one-Mxth, were In tho hands of lecelvers. The capital stock of these loads amounted to $74.'.597.C9S, their debts, to $999,733,700 If stocks had been wateted, evidently debts had been inflated with oven gi eater recklessness. This billion dollar debt hanging uround the neck of American tallway enter pr so is a handicap that will hereafter necessitate most catcful and prudent management else the aheillf will do the re.st, A few less than 28,000 locomotives weto in use on the railways of the United States a lear ago; one-third for passenger purposes, tho others for freight. There were In use then nearly 1,300,000 cars of all kinds; or enough to make a solid train from Scranton to San Francisco and leturn. On nn averago eacli passenger locomo tive In the year hauled Cl.471 passen gers 1.312.3S1 passengor-mlles, while each freight locomotive moved 37,031 tons of freight nn nverago of 4,684,210 ton-miles. About half of tho freight cars of tho country then had nutomatio couplets. The tallroads of tho country em ployed one year ago S2C.020 men, paying thorn $408,821,031, or moro than CO per cent, of tho total operating expenses. This year, owing to large crops and tho goneralJiuslneBS rovival, the num ber of men employed Is much larger, being unotllclallv estimated at 900,000; nnd the pay, also, lit greater, not only In tljo aggregate but per man. Our tnllroad.s tcnreient n capitalisa tion of $10,fi(!6,EG5,771, or $".0,010 per mile; nnd a debt of $S,3 10,333,502. To buy these roads, paying in cash tho differ ence between capitalization and debtH, would Involve the government in tvvlco tho expense of tho civil war, nnd It would probably prove nn uninofltablo Investment, for this renson: In 1800 70 per cent, of tho total railway stock paid no dividends, nnd tho average per cent, of dividends paid by the other 30 per cent, of stock wns only EC.', Mote than eleven per cent, of the total tallway bonds paid no Interest. Altogether In 1S9C a totnl of G11.772, 737 passengers weie transported and 7C3,891,3S'i tons of ft eight. Gloss earn ings were $1,150,1C9,37G, made up chiefly as follows. Passenger revenue. $:CC, GGWJTl; ft eight, $7SC,6ir..S17; mull. $32, .179,811), and express, $2I,SS0,3ST Opcr ntlng expenses were J772.S&S.044, but fixed charges did tho test. They left only $!7,01,371 available for dividends and $1,M4,169 for a sutplus. Jtnllwavs aie not, thetefore, Klondike gold mines, as some suppose. Concerning accidents the nbstract shows Hint the number of tallway em plo.ves killed dut Ins tho year was 1, Sfil, and the numbet injured was 29, 909. Tho number of passengers killed wns 1S1, nnd tho number of passengers Injured 2,873. The number of persons other than employes and passengers killed wns I.40C, nnd the numbei In Juteel f. SI3. These ilgiues Include casu alties to poisons repoited as tiespass ei s, of whom 3,811 weie killed and 4.4CS weie Injured. Tor every 411 men cm plocd on railways one was killed, nnd for eveiy 2S men emplojod ono was Injured. A similar umipaiison ns to tinlnmen shows that one tialnman was killed for each 152 trainmen uniplojcd, and that one trainman was injured for each 10 tialnmen employed. The num ber of pasengeis carried for one pas senger killed was 2,827,474, and tho number of pasengois carried for one passenger Injuted wns 178,132. As showing In another wav the Immunity of pasensets from accidents It may bo t-nld 72,0'il,9C! pnssengci -miles weie accomplished for every passenger kilted, and 1,511,913 pasenger-mlles for eveij pahsenger Injured. It is safer to ride on n well conducted rallioad these davs, despite tho occa sional accidents, than to biavo tho omnlptesent cjcllst by attempting to cross a city htieot. When lioland tnkes the stump this weel to hhnko the boodle scaieciow, he sliould be piepared to have tho seaich llght turned on his own political caieei. That Is ono of tho fair hazards of war. That Accident at Garrison's. Wo dale sav tho public ear will for a period ling with denunciations of the Xevv York Central railroad becauso of the filghtful dlt-istei at Garilson's. tin o,uestlonabl.v the casualty In horrifying beyond iccent mecedent nnd the de tnlls of it are well calculated to appall the stoutest leader. Yet common Jus tice demands the recognition of ono fact, which needs all tho moie to bo emphasized in v Ic w of tho tendency of excitable public opinion to lly to the op posite cxtieme; and thnt is, that no mote catefully nnd humanely manuged railway corporation exists inthisornny other count! v than the one on whoso lines this elite mlsfoitune has befallen. In attentiveness to details making for the safety and comfoit of patrons; in Judicious liberality in equipment and in tlie spit It of willingness to meet tho public moi e than half wav tho New Yolk Central lias justly earned the dis tinction of being "America's gteatest lnlliond," and Its opportune to iccall these chatacteiistlcs now. Judgment is to the responsibility for this accident mav well be defetied pending the official Inquiry. The nu thoiltles aie fully competent to pass on this aspect of the case and there need be no fear that justice will bo sweivcd by undue Influence. In the meantime let tho love of fairness which undeilles the Anicilcan character asseit itself in (stopial of tho frothy fuming so cus tomaiy after railway accidents; a fum ing which does no good but much hnim; nnd lot the? Intelligent poitlon of the public lost ns.suted thut theie Is not a railway management In the coun tiy which will not profit by the lesson of this wieck to older new inspection of nil doubtful parts of track and equipment and institute, wherever pos sible, additional safeguards and pie cautions. Through tho courtesy of S. S. Mr Cluio The Tilbune has been enabled to examine the opening chapters of tho "P.emlulfccenccs of Men nnd Hvents of the Civil Wax" prepared by Charles A. Dana shot tiy befote Ills death, for sei lal publication In McClure's magazine. From this foretaste It Is clear to us that Mr. liana's xecollections will con stitute by all odds the most Interesting contilbulloii yet made to the now vol uminous llterntuio of the civil war. No person deslting to bo well-lnfoimed concerning the most notable peilod In modern histoiy can affotd to skip this testimony as to war-time men and measures uy one who seiveu, in ah, Lincoln's quaint words, us "the ees of the government at tho fro.xt. Aiming too Low. At tho Lotos club dinner to Anthony Hopo lu New York the other night, Chauncey M. Depew uttered a few pleasantries concerning the mayoralty light In that city, spoko humorously of the intensity of many of tho campaign speakers, alluded to tho fiequency with which profanity had outcropped In the published speeches and then, momo'it arlly gt owing serious, said: "I have a bit of advice for the young orators who are using Iolont language and vulgar expressions. It Is a fatal mistake for the collegian and the law yer to suppose becauso hit audience Is composed of woikingmen that he must adopt a different standard and lower tho tone of his nrgumout or expression Ho sliould remember that h!s nudlence Is mndo up of citizens ivho, however humblo tholr circumstances, are tho product of tho American common school. They nro as keen Judges of good logic and good language as tho cultured nnd brilliant people who meet at Carneslo Hall or tho Motiopolltan Opera house. I have son many a piomlslng speaker ruined by this effort of lowering himself to who: he be- lleved to be the fllone of his nudlenuo nnd ndoptlng a tone and treatment of his subject which tho" thought, and rightly thought, an Insult to their posi tion and Intelligence." Instances of this nro common. Tho fact Is that tho nudlcnc" which Is made up of men In humble cltcumstnnces does not want to be patronized. Tho speaker who deliberately alms low misses the mark quite as disastrously as does tho one who directs his te marks to the shining stars. Tho policy of frankness, naturalness and common sense is tho policy that wins. Budding orators would do well to mako note thereof. I'loet Tryor sheriff nnd ho will know you nnd speak to you as cordially nfter election as before. Clarence I'iy6r Is not a clam. What ills Neighbors Say. One of tho best tests of a man's stnndlng is what his neighbors say. In view of the campaign against John II. Jones which has lately enlisted some members of the bar and apparently one member of the bench of Lacka wanna county, It Is Interesting to see how Mr. Jones' neighbors feel concern ing his candidacy for re-election. The Olj phant Gazette, tho leading paper between Scranton and Cnrbondnle.pub llshed almost within a stone's throw of Mr. Jones' homo, In its last Issue sas' "The ability which John II. Jones has shown In the district attorney's office dutlng tho past three years Is too well known to be commented upon. No In cumbent In that responsible position has perfoimed his duties better and novel has the task been ns onerous as during Mr. Jones' administration. Uveiy grand jury has given him un stinted praise for his courtesy and diligent attention to business. Tho duties of this oITlce nio too large to be enttustcd to a man untiled and totally Ignoinnt of all the numerous details. Kvetj ono In Olyphant knows Mr. Jones and wo can confidently predict that ho will receive the largest major ity any Republican candidate ever had In this borough. And we know that the surtounding boroughs think equally well of this distinguished public ser vant." These words and the approving popular sentiment which they express, constitute an effective answer to John It. Jones' tiaduceis. Tho Cosmopolitan university has se curied a president In the person of Dr. JZ X Potter, whose educational exper ience Includes a petlod of service as piofessor of ethics nt Lehigh, and nn extended tenure as president first of Hobait and afterward of Union col lege. The enrolment of pupils In this now correspondence Institution has al- leady exceeded 10,000, representing cvety state and tenltory In the union and many foreign countries. The disposition to deiide Mr. Walker's scheme has not disappeared, but wo feel sure that the fair play of tho in telligent public will accord It an honest tet, for oven If it shall fall no one will be the worse for the failure save tho university's originator, while If It shall succeed In earning only to one man a message of culture it w 111 ele serve well of tho community and put to shame those who haxe so wnntonly misi epic suited and embarrassed it. The policy of President Depew of the New York Central railroad com pany when wrecks occur on that lino is to put the public In immediate pos sesion of all tho facts nt the com pan's command. Ho lccognlzes tho legitimacy of the public's interest in such tragedies and properly conceives that It Is not wise for his company to appear to lack In candor and straight forwardness. Ills position in the mat ter undoubtedly is sound, and should be called to the attention of other rail way executives In the habit of en forcing a more secretive policy. Klsewheio we reprint the- Times' an nual warning touching election boards. It Is a, little later this year than usual, but its familiar language conies with all the force of an old acquaintance. If any minion of any kind attempts what the Times insinuates, force him at once to lead that paper's campaign edltoilals. Tho orgnii-afrald-of-lts-part 's-plat-foim is reminded that Tho Tilbune did not say Schadt had jet paid Okell any money. It Is the promise of payment to which we alluded. You can rest as sured that Okell is not running stump for his health. We observe that Hon. M. A. McGin ley has been added to the stumpers for Hijanism, Schadt and icfoiin. Wo npprehend that his great specialty will be xeforni. If ono Thomas Piatt Is playing the losing game that his opponents aver, It must be Fnld for him that he Is play ing it with nerve. No candidate nfrald of his party's platfoim sliould receive tho vote of any lover of candor. No doubt Spain Is In a ticklish situa tion; but wo must remember It Is of her own making.

Senator Plaff on Gotham Otiflook tienator Piatt has Imucd the following statement concerning tho New York may oralty battle. "In te)onso to many In quiries tin to how the Jiiun.cUml campaign Is likely to end, I want to say thut in my belief General Tracy lins won the elec tion. Thero aro thrto Democratic candi dates in tho Held four, counting Uleason among whom tho Democratic voto will he divided. It U not a majority vote, nnjhovv. Tho Democrats luivu never hael a. mujorlty In tho tenltory now consoli dated slnco tho enactment of tho present election law. They used To havo majori ties, any kind of majoilty that suited their tnsto nnd convenience. They Ijad absoluto control of tho electoral machin ery at every poll. Tho appointment of all tho ballot clerks, poll clerks utid ltipec tora was lodged unreservedly In tho hands of tho Tammany board of police com missioners. Theoretically, tho law re quired mlnoilty representation at tho polls, but In pinctlco that vvjs Ignored. Tho alleged Republican rcpitscntatlon was In pracllco provided by tho Tam many election dlstilct captain. This gavo unlimited opportunity for fraud, and fraud was (practiced In an unlimited way. Dut when Uovernor Morton and a llcpub. Hcan legislature were elected In 1893, tho law was chanBcd, and a bi-partisan con tiol of tho polling places was established. Tho two leading parties aro now equally icprcsenled at every polling place. Tho ballot clerks, poll clerks and Inspectors aro now appointed on tho nomination of tho olllalnl. heads of tho two principal parties, and since that has been tho case tho Dem ocrats havo never had a mujorlty In tho city of New York. They won in 1893, but they did not win against tho Republican party. , o "Whatever their present vote may be, It Is going to bo divided between Van Wjck, George, Low and Glcason. Van Wj ck w ill probably got tho most of It, Georgo will get a huge proportion of It euid Low will get a substantial remainder. Low Is tho candidate of four Democratic organiza tions, the Ship Demoeracj, tho Goroo De mocracy, tho Purroy Democracy nnd tho Bteakler Democracy Moro and moio as tho canvns has proceeded ho has become identified before tho public with tho Dem ocratlo party. Ho is tho embodiment of tho holler-th'in-tl.ou Idea of tho Cleveland party. Ho Is a revival of Clevclandm. Ho has tho support of all that noisy and Insolent crowd that grovels at tho feet of Cleveland. Ho has been brought lorward ns tho expression of their notions and their hopes. And that which makes his success lmioslbIo Is tho fact now so clearlj iresonted In tho minds of the community, that through Low this Cleve land clique aro endeavoring to recover their lost prestlgs for use in 1900. o "Tho Republican vote, on the other hand, Is cotisolidateil upon a slm;lo can didate. Hvery district In New York has been thoroughly ciuivni.ed by tho Repub lican orginbMtlon, and its leaders know the situation as accurately as It can he known by anjbody i ntll tho 'votes aro actually east nnd counted. They approach tho crisis of tho campaign with absolute eonlldcnce Thero Is not an assembly dis trict in the wholo city whero tho less of Republican votes to Low will amount to 15 per cent, of tho rcrmal Republican strength. L'von this small percentage of loss can occur In no more than twelve out of tho flftj-nlne jissembly districts into which tho new municipality is divid ed. In all tho other assembly districts the Republican los to Low wl'.l bo utterly trivial. In other words, Low will lecelvo a much larger Demoe ratio than Repub lican support, and It Is not the least Inter esting feuture of this extraor Unary cam paign that tho candidacy of Low, In stead of smajMng tho Republican party, ns it wus Intended to do, will really bo nn additional and distinct force for Repub lican success. Geome- and Low, having Identlllcd themselves In other rcpects. will ho Identified In this that each will help to uso up and split up the Demo cratic otonnd leave the consolidated Re publican voto triumphantly potential. o "Of courso I do not forget those Low lists. They nro decidedly the most amus ing thing in tho wny of a political 'fako' that has been exhibited hereabouts dur ing my experience. Tney nro not woith a iletalled examination. The fdmp'.e fa't that they placo Low's chief strength as ii candidate below Fourteenth street makes them so obviously absurd that It would bo a wasto of time to discuss them. In districts whero they glvo him nearly 3u,000 votes ho will not hove 4,000. Nor do I forget that there aro gomo Tammany and Wall street gamblers wno seem to bo trjlng desperately to bIvo new proof of tho adage thnt 'a fool and his money nro soon parted ' Campaign betting has al ways been Tammany Hall's chief argu ment. It is supposed to bo very effective with a class of voters that don't know how they will voto until they are per suaded how others will vote. Thero may be such a clais In this community, but It Is not largo To bet that Low 's v oto w 111 exceed Trac's is Just liko throwing money Into tho fire. To bet that Tracy's will exceed Van Wyck's Is like picking It up In tho streets. o "And so I say to Republicans keep stoadily at work. You have already won and nro winning In greater measure every day. Your constant and united eftorts will bring this great city, with its tre mendous lnilucnco upon the uffalrs of tho country, to the support of tho Republican party and tho noble principles for which tt stands. You havo nominated tho best ticket thnt was over ottered to tho people of this community. You brln to them the scrv Ices of n man as the first mayor of tho Greater Ncw York, whose character, abil ity and experience place him high abovo any of thoo who think themselves his rivals in this race. You have stood for jour principles, as principles should al wajs be stood for, without compromise or denial. You nio entitled to win. You deseivo to win Your victory will do moro to secure stabllllj to business and solidity to credit nnd to kIvc Impetus and pcrma- nenco to our new prosperity thnn enn bo accomplished by any publlo event. It will say to tho country that this great center of commerce nnd capital, from which is drawn tho vitality of all enterprise, is truo to tho sound policies for which It spoko l ono enr ago it will assure to tho peo I plo of New York a pure, Independent and elllclent administration of their local ar fairs It will start tho new city upon Its career with tho respect and confidence of all men.
