Ci!j-anl Couutj- Official Paper.
A PAX-AMERICAX RAILROAD.
One or Ethvnrd Bellamy's proposals
is tbe national control of tlie railroads,
and it is remarkable to see tlial a prac
tical man like the president of the
Chicago fc Alton railroad advocates
the purchase by the federal govern
ment of all railroads engaged in inter
state traffic The ground on which
he bases his recommendation is that
recent railroad legislation has made
the business so difficult andunproGt
able that there is nothing left short
of government ownership and the
operation of the roads on
public account. not for prof
it, but for the accommodation of
the people. He takes, of course,
much too gloomy a view of the out
look and apparently attributes the
present unsatisfactory condition of rail
road business to the wrong cause. How
ever, that is of little consequence,
since his plan will get no attention ex
cept as the indication of the breaking
up of old ideas of government func
tions. As such it is significant
A Pan-American railroad seems to
Ik the only outcome of the delibera
tion of the Pan-American congress.
TheXcw York Press regards it with
favor, sayiug: I
"The great international railroad to
connect all the countries of North
Central and South America, which is
recommended by the resolutions
adopted by the Pan-American con
gress, is the outgrowth alike or popu
lar sentiment and practical engineer
ing science. The bonds between the
American republics, which arc growing
stronger each j car. would be immeas
urably strengthened by a great rail
road of this description. Its practi
cability has been pointed out by rail
road experts of the highest character
and authority, notably by George H.
Ulanchard in an address de
livered lat fall, in which he
IKtiutcd out the fact that some 2.000
miles of construction would unite the
present systems of railroads in the
North and .South American conti
nents. The initial step contemplated
by the Pan-American congress is the
appointment or an international
commission of engineers, three from
each government, who shall inquire
into the practicability and advisa
bility of such a railroad. In the
event that these points are demon
strated the commission shall proceed
to make plans for its construction,
receive bids and make concessions
and grants to persons who will under
take to build and manage the line.
There are other details, but the main
matter of congratulation is that the
congress has inaugurated a public im
provement which is everywhere recog
nized as the mobt important since the
first Pacific railroad was projected. It
is not visionary to predict that the
present generation will ride practically
from one end of the American hemis
phere to the other without change of
cars."
TlicStaais-Zaltmi argues that nice
as this is m theory it does not follow
that after a road is finished it will
be frequented. Very good, if a
railway running from North to South
America should prove a pioneer of
civilization, as the railways have
done, connecting the Atlantic with
the Pacific ocean. This, however, is
not to be anticipated, not alone by
reason of climatic, but also ethno
logical iulluences. "We must accord
ingly abide the time when the require
ments of commerce shall demand such
a read: and then even, with some dif
ficulty will the road be constructed in
the interests of trade. From all this
it would apjear that the all-American
congress in the building of its first
idea has bridled the horse by the tail.
Tun Bakers' Convention at Detroit
decided to ask for ten hours on 3Iay
1st. Organization has reduced their
hours from eighteen and twenty to
eleven and fourteen a day. Physicians
will be employed to deliver open let
ters to show that bread is not fit to be
eaten until it is twelve hours old.
The Master Laundrymen's union of
New York will use 500,000 to drive
Chinese out of the business. A rival
shop at cut prices will be run beside
every Chinaman, and the company is
satisfied to lose money. A Chicago
laundry cost 500,000, and there are
G,000 steam laundries in the states,
each with an average investment of
S3,000. All the Chinese laundries are
controlled by one company, and the
employes are said to be slaves.
Sucu: is nearly down to the lowest
point ever touched in the United
States, being actually below Europe,
and the bottom should not be far away,
particularly as consumption of the
world is largely increased by low
prices. Refined, ruled exceedingly
dull during last week. Mr. Spreckels
led the competition and decline down
to G 1-G cents for granulated. That is
in the eastern market On this
coast higher prices prevail.
Nnw England, in 1832, invested
50,009,000 in new manufacturing
plants at home. Doposits in her sav
ings banta increased over $65,000,000
in I'vSD. A majority of her manufac
turing establishments did a most re
munerative business in 1839. The
situation is most hopeful for 1890.
A GEXEitAii suspension of payments
for one year has been found necessary
in the Argentine Republic to allow the
commercial and financial mpn in rmfr,
1 over the results of the wild specula
tion in which they have been indulg
ing of late.
