Who knows bow many old bacbeiora are odIj waiting to be asked? _ Tbirty-on* railroads, aggregating 6,478 miles and representing an ap parent capital of 1328,000,060, were sold under bankrupt proceedings dur iag tbs year 1887. Tbe|K*iiwsy Age, tn commenting on tbe subject, says: “It is remarkable that wbiie tbe great er pert of railway building has been carried on in tbe wild and presuma bly reckless West, tbe old, conserva live and wealthy Eastern States of New York and Pennsylvania 'urmsh ed nearly one third of the roads that bed to be closed out during the year; while none of tbe States of tbe West or South made such a showing of reckless or unfortunate manage¬ ment.” Tbe receipts of taxes and other money by tbe Treasury from ail sour Ctoinl887 amounted to 8382,000, 000, allowing an excess of 832,000 000 over 1880. The gain in the fint quarter of tbe calender year over that of 1880 was 811,000,000, tbe secood 810,000,000, the third 85. 000,000, and the fourth 80,000,000. Much tbe larger collections fell on tbe middle quarters. Tbe Decern ber surplus sssestimated at 816,000, 000, a rate which, if approximately bald, will more than justify Mr. Fair ehild’a estimate of a surplus of 814.0 000,000 next Joae. The customs re venue in toe calender year was 811. 000,000 greater than in 1880; aud 885,000, greater than in 1885.
