Notwithstanding all that is said about bad and oppressive management of railroads, their his-I tory during the last twenty years shows that the accommodations and facilities extended to all class es of patrons have been steadily increased, while the rales have been just as steadily diminished. This has been owing lo the laws of competition and business, which force men and corporations equally to meet the wishes of those who deal with them, and lower prices as competition increases. The fifteenth annual volume of Poor's "Manual of the Railroads of the United States,' just published, presents an unusual array of inter esting facts and statistics relating to the growth and developments of the railroads of ihis country. Ac cording to Poor, the construction of railways in the United States in 1S81 was the greatest of any year during its history, being fl,"."iS miles. But great us was the con struction during 1831, he believes that the year 18S2 will show a still larger. He estimates that duiing this year not less than 10,000 miles will be built. The railioad mile age in the United Stales has grown to 52,914 miles. The authority we have quoted" estimates that over 500.000 miles of railway will be re quired before the limit of neces sary transportation facilities will be reached. The North American Review for October opens with an article on ''The Coming Revolution in England," by IT. M. Ilyndman, the English radical leader, giving an instructive account of the agita tion now going on among the Eng lish working classes for the recon struction of the whole politico social fabric of that county. 0. 13. Frothingham writes of "The Objectionale in Literature," and endeavors lo point out the distinction " between litoratuie which is per se corrupting, and that which is simply coarse. Dr. Henry Sehlicmann tells the inter esting story of one year's "Dis coveries at Troy." Senator John 1. Mitchell, of Pennsylvania, treats of the rise and progress of the rule of "Political Bosses." Prof. George L. Vose, of the Massachu setts Institute of Technology, con tributes an aiticle of exceptional value on "Safety in Railway Trav el;" and Piof. Charles S. Sargent, of the Harvaid College Aiboie tum, contributes an instructhe es say on "The Protection of For ests." The' Review is sold by booksellers and newsdealers gen erally. Tin: forty convicts killed in a Russian prison piobably expected death when they lose against the authorities. It h nothing new for convicts to seek .such an end of in tolerable cruelties. There is abun dant evidence of the highest char acter proving that British convicts in Van Dienmu's Land weie fre quently driven by most hoirible and long-continued barbarity to suicide or a mad rush on certain death from the gun of the guards. Russian prisons are no better to day than were the penal arrange ments of Great Britain at Norfolk Island years ago. Death i not the greatest evil that may be made to wait on frail humaniij In some of our states to-day there are con vict systems that are a disgrace to our civilization.. A Caiko despatch of the 21th represents Arabi Pasha as saying tho best thing the English could do Tor Egypt would be to send all the notables and other leading men connected with the rebellion out of the country, ll they do not do so, vengeance will surely be wreaked upon them after their de parture; Seeing the manner m which the Bnlish treat their prisoners nnrt wounded, Arabi says they are a great people and puMHUBaaccaHsao that he is heaililv sorrv he fought them, lleasseits that he never thought the English would send a large army to assist the ldicdive, and so he wa led into the war. He denies that he had any commu nication with the sultan during the war. Am:k.uv about twenty-ieven biographies of Arabi Pa.sha have appeared in the newspapers. They all agree that "he was born," and that is the only point of general agreement. When Arabi gets time he can select from these va rious efforts the scenes and inci dents of a very entertaining auto biography. Meantime wv must !c content with the knowledge that "he was born." Tin: sultan of Turkey has ordered immediate surrender to Greece of the whole frontier fixed by the international commission. Representatives of the poweis who at the invitation of the Gicik ambassador were to discuss the Turko-Greek fionlier question, dissolved their meeting leaving the settlement of the difficulty to Tmkey. Tin: St. Louis Globe-Democrat concludes that negro minstrels ie reive larger salaries than Here ever before paid that branch of the profession. They ought to. The. man who has the moral coin age to palm off as new. season after season, jokes that originated with Dan Christy in Ml desenes to be liberal I rewarded. Extkavaii vnci: is one of the strongest o'f American char acteristics. It is no uncommon thing in this great country for a man who never had fifteen cents worth of character to enter a libel suit Tor $100,000. Whither are we drifting? John Bi:k:iit, the great English commoner, is about to visit the United States. Heaiing of this, an Indiana lecluie committee has wiitten to him asking his terms for a lecture on his disease of the kidneys. -Pa nisi ax capitalists still have faith in the Panama canal scheme. .Arrangements for preparing to commence getting ready for e-c- cavaling aie in an advnaced stige of forwardness. At the congress of electricians, which is to meet in Paris, October 11, one of tho most impoiUiut questions to be considered will be that of protection for telegraph cables. Tt is estimated that the late strike among the iron workers of Pittsburg cost the community v', 000,000 in wages, the number of men idle being about 20,000. NEW TO-DAY Benton Sireet.
