questions is reduced from forty to

According to a report made by
the secretary of the Interstate
nnmmerce Commission, there are
now 704,726 persons employed in
thf rn ilroad department of the
United Slates.
Koseburg cast 607 ballots and
Ashland 606 Monday, the former

afittlfis the relative size of these
two places. Now Ashland will

The Americans lead the world
in inventions. During the first
century of the United Stale3 pat
ent offiee, just ended, 425,395 pat
ents were issued from the office at
Washington, 22,080 in the last
year alone. The present record is
at the rate of nearly 2,250,000 foi
100 years, showing how inveutive
activity has increased in late years.
No other nation can show a record
approaching this.
People who live in Russia have
one advantage over those who live
in more enlightened countries.
They are reasonably sure of get
ting unadulterated food there.
Persons convicted of selling adul
terated and injurious substances
as food in Russia are liable to a
line of $240 or three months' im
prisonment for the first offense.
These penalties are doubled for the
second offense, and for the third
the person loses his civil and polit
ical rights.
There are clearing houses in all
the principal cities of the United
States,, doing a yearly business
amounting to over $25,000,000,000,
while the total amount done by
English clearing houses is about
$38,000,000,000. As showing
what an amount of money is rep
resented by the New York clear
- ing. house, the amonnt of money
Banded through that institution
during the past year was over
$33,000,000,000, while the Lon
don clearing house did over a bil
lion of dollars less business.
The Electrical Review, in call
ing attention to several instances
where murderers have cheated the
gallows, suggests that death by
electricity can be evaded in a
number of ways. A coat of in
visible . varnish cau be applied to
the body that will render the con
demned man? entirely invulnerable
to the deadly current. It would
be quite a difficult matter for a
victim to feign death until he got
into the house of his friends, but
it might be done. Other methods
are also suggested, but it is pretty
safe loi say that no one will try
any of them as an. experimental
test.
America, argu
William Gilpin, of Colorado, is a
fallow continent, capable of sus
taining half a billion people in
happiness and plenty. It is the
mission of the United States to be
distributor of food to the hungry
of both Europe and Asia, Iyiug as
it does midway between them.
The time is at hand when all
the ships of the seas will not be
sufficient to carry the articles of
commerce around the world to the
nations fast enough. Then will
come necessity for more rapid
transportation. The plan of this
transportation has been the dream
of Governor Gilpin for forty-seven
DEBT OF WESTERN STATES.
The prohibitionists have already
taken steps to repair the gap in
their fence made by the supreme
court decision. Their plan is to
pass a law which shall give a state
the authority to prevent transpor
tation companies from bringing
liquor into that state from another
state. The select committee of
the house on the alcoholic liquor
traffic has already reported a bill.
Mr. Kerr, of Iowar makes the
roport At the time the com
mittee considered the matter it
was inspired by the desire to find
something to offset what is known
as the Bowman decision. The
more recent decision of the Keo-
kuk case gave the prohibitionists
additional reason, for pressing - the
bill.
years. He it was who originated
the idea of the Pacific railway
connecting New York and San
Francisco. lie broke the first
ground for it, and every stage of
the marvelous development of the
west has been the fulfillment of a
prophecy made by Governor Gil
pin.
He has made one more proph
ecy. It is that the next great pro
ject in the world's material de
velopment will be the building oi
what he calls the Cosmopolitan
railway. It is a railroad which
shall girdle the earth. The first
link in the chain is the transcon
tinental road of the United States.
Starting from the western terminus
of that, the Cosmopolitan road
hall extend northward through
Alaska, skirting the base of the
Rocky mountains, where are plat
eaus that will render the building
easy.
Then will come Behring's
strait. It is fortv-eisht miles
wide, says this enthusiast, who has
been studying the scheme nearly
half a century. About midway
of the strait is the island of Die
meae, a large, long island. 11ns
would be a central point of the
road, and a track of twenty miles
each side of it would finish the
work. There are no icebergs in
Behring's strait, because of the
warm Pacific coast stream which
flows northward through it. Once
across the strait, which is a shal
low water with hard sand bottom,
offering no insuperable engineer
ing difficulties, the road would
connect with the Russian railway
through Siberia, connecting again
with western and southern roads
through Asia, Europe and Africa,
and the work would be done. Ex.
Ax ingenious Yankee in the
state of New York is getting up a
society to be known as the ''Limb
less League." He claims that in
the county in which he lives there
are no Jess than 2i00 voters who
are each minus either an arm or a
leg. He proposes to unite the
cripples into a political league, the
principal object of which shall be
to obtain possession of as inanv
offices of the county as possible,
According to the views of this
Yankee, and it is said that the
cripples freely agree with him, the
government should care for the
maimed, before their more fortu
nate brethren are allowed a bite
of the political morsels. It is
hardly to be supposed that this in
genious citizen will meet with the
uccess he expects. He depends
too much on sympathy, a factor
that enters but slightly into
politics.
The first results of the census of
189ft showing the indebtedness of
cities, counties and states have
been received at the census super
intendent's office. Blanks were
sent out to the proper officials in
each state early this year for au
thentic reports regarding indebt
edness, and these have now been
received and tabulated. The re
turns are official and complete.
They show the total bonded and
floating debt of all the states com
bined, in 1890-, to be $228,679,-
817 G9 against $283,130,302 60 in
1880. a decrease of $54,459,4SS 91
in the past decade. The reduction
in the national debt has been near
ly $1,000,000,000 during this time.
That part of the returns particu
larly interesting to us, is the con
dition of the debt of the Western
states. The following table is giv
en, showing comparatively how
the finances have been handled in
ho Western states, and which
political party is responsible for
their condition:

Figures never lie, but they are
nearly always fatal to democracy.
Out of the thirteen states given,
the three democratic ones have
over two-thirds of the entire in
debtedness. Indiana and Missouri
have a greater indebtedness than
a!l 1 lie republican states combined.
This is a record of which the re
publicans are justly proud, and
whether the democrats regard it
as do the republicans or not, the
figures are there to always stand
against them.
The complete figures in other
republican states show a similar
result, while in the strong demo
cratic states, especially in the
South, a very poor showing is
made.
Some recent figures by Robert
Giffen, the English statistical!,
confirm the received opinion that
emigration alfords ho sufficient
check upon the population. Great
Britain has lost 9,000,000 by emi
gration since 1S53; of the number
7,000,000 were of 3ritish or Irish
origin, and this is an average of
243,000 a year, yet the population
of Great Britain has grown to
about 3S.000,000. a gain of about
10.000,000 in the same time. In
the last four years the excess of
births over death was 1,703,000,
while the excess of immigration
over emigration is only ooo.uuu.
There has been a gain, therefore,
of a little over 4,000,000 in the
population of Great Britain since
1885.
