The Monon All Sight.
The Monon trains are now running as of old and .nothing bears evidence of the late oostly wreck. Saturday night and yesterday morning men were on the ground at work as thick as they could stand and the result was that by half past one the trains were crossing ovec Sugar Creek—slowly perhaps, but never-! theless, crossing. The south sp%n of the bridge is but a trestle work at present but is entirely safe. The bridge span proper will be built up around it and no delay in traffic experienced thereby. A disastrous wreck was never handled more quickly and successfully-, than this one.
The Methodist Meetings.
The meetings at the Methodist church conducted by Miss Dennis, the Qnaker evangelist, have been highly interesting as shown by the two large congregations at the regular services yesterday and a fair attendance at the extra afternoon meeting. At the close of the evening seryices an after meeting was held at which several souls were saved. Mies Dennis will remain several days longer and the meetings will continue all week.
Gas Combine Management.
It is reported that J. A. Dilkee, at preeent with the Chester Tube and Tool Company, will have charge of ,the new Indiana Natural and Illuminating Gas Company. The management, however, will be temporary, and he, will be succeeded by John ft. Person, at present general manager of the Indianapolis Gas Company. The various plants will be managed by sub-officials under the direction of Mr. Pearson.
Surprise Party.
On Saturday evening quite a number of the friends of Mrs. H. M. Harter tendered her a pleasant surprise party at her home on east Jefferson street. The evening was delightfully passed and various amusements caused the time to pass only too quiokly. Elegant refreshments were served and the affair will long be remembered by those present' with the greatest pleasure.
Quietly Married.
On Saturday evening at En^lewood, 111., Homer Hills and Miss Jna Marrs were quietly married. They came at once to this city and are pt home in their apartments at the residence of H. W. Oonnard, the bride's uncle on east Main street. Mrs. Hills visited here last winter and made many warm friends. The Journal extends congratulations and best wishes.
The Last Day.
This is the last day upon which city and county taxes may be paid without the ten per oent. penalty added. Both offices have been thronged all day by good citizens eager to [part with their good money. The county treasurer's office will be kept open until 12 o'clock to-night in order that all may have a chance to set themselves right with the commonwealth of Indiana.

No invention of n4dern times, or perhaps of either ancient or modern limes, has added, or is pppable of adding to the sum of human happiness, as railroads have dohe ah'd ma'y do. By this inventioamenoan -outstrip in rapidity of motion the swiftest animal that lives. mostj^jstant parts of continents are in Closer' praotical relation with each other than the distant parts of small to -. took Mays,, and-even weeks to accomplish before railroads were brought into use, oan now be accomplished |n as many hours by their aid. But wonderful ah aid as it may be to promote the welfare and happiness of mankind its primary use is to minister to and foster the selfishness of & very small part of the people. What it is, as a benefit to mankind, it is in spite of ita owner.

up and down the armory to show a fe* the advent of railroads. What it to spectators how he could easily put dowq a rebellion or crush the army of a ruthless invader from Hawaii or Tlmbuctoo. It so happened that high private Ed Simms, had been drinking caotus juioe from the armory canteen and had taken just a wee swallow too much. Accordingly when Boney Kramer, his equal in the ranks, made some slighting remark Mr. Simms seized a stick of stove wood and crushed in his face. As Kramer fell on the floor Simms leaped upon him and shut off his wind. Capt. Brant, from the roof of the building, gave orders through the skylight for the arrest of the belligerents. Simais was placed under guard but seizing a gun charged bayonets and all but escaped. He was finally overpowered and court martial was held yesterday. The bad soldier wilj probably be executed to-mor-row at sunrise.
The prime object of those who control and own the railways of the country is private gain, and not the promotion of the public benefit. In the management of the postal system of the country the object is to give the most efficient service at the leaBl. cost. In the mapagement of the railroads the main object !B to charge all the traffie will bear,-and if the public protest railway kings will reply, "The public be damned." But the injury done to the public by^heselfish management of the railways is not confined to their unjust charges for the services they perform. Htotfk gambling in railroad -stocks and bonds hBs begotten a.-geueral and wide spread, tendency to gamble in almost every line of business. What virtue is there in a people who suppress gambling in lotteries, by which the public lose one dollar, and are indifferent to 0ther
rfo^mfi
by-whicii the people lose a
thousand dollars for every dollar lost bv lotteries. Those who control the railroads are among the most earnest supporters of specie payment and of the .gold standard not beoause either is neoessary to the operation of them in moving freights and passengers and doingwhat is necessary to the legitimate business of railroads. But is is very convenient.to the gambling side of railway operations to have the government committed to a financial policy that will relieve them in case of a collapse in their gambling operations and put the
I068
on the people. The system under private control has also made us a great tribute paying people to foreigners. The latest statistics of railways, and general knowledge of the cost of things will enable us to get some idea of the cost of the roads of the country. The valuation of the railways of the country as given by the owners of them is $9,829,475,015 according to the report of the Inter-State Commerce Commission the cost per mile is $60,942.
The length of single track is given at 216,149.14 miles, on 168,402.74 miles of line of railway. If we assume that iron is used weighing 60 pounds to the yard the amount of iron required to lay a mile of track would be 105 3 5 tons. Multiplying this sum by the number of miles of single track gives the number of tons of railB used to lay the track on 216,149 miles of line at 22,695,645, the cost of the iron at $30 per ton would amount to $648,759,960. The number of cars is given at 1,215,611. Assuming that 29,000 were other than freight cars, would leave the latter at 1,186,611.
The cost of these at the figures as given by the Pennsylvania Central $540 per car would qiake the cost of freight cars $640,769,940 29,000 passenger, baggage and mail cars at $3,000 per car would amount to $87,000,000 32,129 locomotives at $8,000 each on the averuge would amount to $257,032,000. Here we have the cost of rails, locomotives and cars—which constitute much more than half the cost and equipment of the railroads of the country,—at $1,633,561,900, one billion, six hundred and thirty-three million, five hundred and ^ixty-one thousand, nine hundred dollars. The items above enumerated amount to $9,759.15 per mile, and assuming that they cover only one-half the cost of the roads, including everything properly chargeable to their cost and equipment, the cost per mile would be $19,618.30 £er mile. Under the present management they are made to pay over 11 per qent on a oapital of $19,218.30 per mile, Which is not quite one-third of the amount of capital per mile as given by the owners.
What the aotual cost of the railroads is, to .those who own them, is not in reach of the people. We can only make suoh general estimates as carrv a probable oertainty of their correctness and according to the estimates made the Whole system cost $3,267,128,800. If we deduct from that sum what has been donated by the nation, States, oountiee, townships, oities and private citizens, the cost of the system will not be mucn above $2,000,000,000,and deducting from that what was supplied from the earnings of the roads towards their construction there are probably not over 31,000,000,000 that were drawn from other sources for the construction of the en tire system of the countrv.
If the same principle governed the management of the railroads that governs the management of the postofiice department, or that the city of Paris applies to corporations of that city, the cost of the whole system on bonds and debts outstanding would probably not amount to $760,000,000 to da?.
The amount of revenue drawn from the people by the railroads in seven months' time will buy the iron now in use on the 216,000 miles of trackage, the revenue of seven months will pay for all the freight cars in use by all the railroads of the country, and six months' revenues will pay for all the locomotives and cars other than freight on the entire system. It will not'be admitted by the roads that such' an estimate .will cover the cost of rails and equipment, but it seems to me it approximates very nearly the cost of them, and if nearly correct it shows that the revenues of the roads for forty months will-build the entire system or equal the cost of the entire svstem.

Why?
Why is Strictly Pure White Lead the best paint Because it
will outlast all other paints, give a handsomer finish, better protection to the wood, and the first cost will be less.
If Barytcs and other adulterants of white lead are just as good" as Strictly Pure V/hite Lead, v?ny are all the adulterated white leads always branded Pure, or
Strictly Pure White Lead?"
This Barytes is a heavy white powder (ground stone),
having
Oil Cans. Oil Tanks, Axle Oil, Coal Oil, Lubricating Oil, Cylinder Oil, Harness Oil, Sperm Oil, Wood Preserving Oil. Linseed Oil, Ciasolino, Boiler Compound, Wrist Pin Grease, Belt Grease, Mill Files, Alligator Wrenches,..• Circular Saws, Gas Pipe,
the appearance
of white lead, worthless as a paint, costing only about a cent a pound, and is only used to cheapen the mixture. What shoddy is to cloth, Barytes is to paint. Be careful to use only old aua standard brands of white lead. "Armstrong & McKelvy" "Beymer-Bauman" "Eckstein" "Fahnestock" "Anchor" "Kentucky" "Morley" "Southern" "Shipman "Red Seal" "Collier "Davis-Chambers" are strictly pure, "Old Dutch" process brands, established by a lifetime of use.
