A few miles above Farmer’s, in Rowan

an unknown man was found in Licking

body, but it.is not yet identified. The
body had doubtless been in|the water for
some time, but the features were yet
recognizable bad any one known
him. He was a man about fifty years of
age, well built, stout, and ol medium

prominent Roman nose. The inquest re

wages, which was effected among the.

and their board. It is almost impossible
for the contractors to get hand* at ail,
and, although higher wages have been de
manded several times, this is the first time
tbe demand has been refused. They began
working for $1 per day and boarded,
themselves, but, knowing that help could
not be readily gotten, they demanded $1
per day and their board. This was given
them, and they continued making de
mands for increase of wages until they
were getting at the time ofthe strike $1.25
and board, and upon demanding $1.50
and board they were refused, although
the contractor* offered to compromise and
lay $1.40 and board. Owing to the ina-

in the place of the strikers, and tbe ne
cessity of completing the road without de

tbe terms demanded by the strikers.

“Let us take a general view of the
financial situation. About 30,000 miles of
railroad have been put under contract
within two years. Probably half of them
are on lines parallel to roads already In
operation. The other half are constructed
in new countries, figuratively oat of sight
of land, without stations or population.
They cannot pay ruuuing expenses for
ten years to come. Notice the positions
of the New York Central and Pennsylva

rice that will prevent the sale of bonds
lor the new enterprises, or the parallel
roads now being constructed will eventu
ally bankrupt them. While tbe parallel
roads will cost about $50,000 to th&
mile, the two great solvent trunk lines
must pay interest on $230,000 to the mile.

grain grown in the Southern States is by
no means inconsiderable. Still the ca
pacity ol the interior States for the rais
ing ot wheat and other grains has never
been lally tested. It is not many years
since Tennessee was the great corn pro
ducing State in the Union. Aside from
the war, nothing but the widespread ex
tension of railroads in the West and the
lack of tbem in Tennaieee and Kentucky
has occurred for the States of Illinois and
Minnesota to gain this ascendancy.
Don’t misunderstand me; many of the
Western States, perhaps, have a capacity
for producing in great quantities a single
kina of cereal; but for general products
and coal and the richer minerals no West
ern State that I know of can compare with
the Central Southern and some of the
Gulf States.
THE PEOPLE READT.
“Are the Southern people alive to their
opportunity ? Do they realize tbe great
share of this nation’s commerce which
energy on their part will give them?” was
asked.
“The commercial men of the cotton
States fully appreciate the situation,” re
joined President Baldwin. “They now
see clearly how very little politics have
done for them and seriously turn toward
the real ‘reconstruction’ which active
trade will inaugurate. There is as much
patriotism there as in any section of the
nation. Ail the war issues are dead and
buried—except to a few politicians who
misrepresent their constituents and mere
ly use the language of the past to give
them, personally, a passing prominence.
The ‘fire-eating’ element is, in fact, too in
significant to deserve consideration when
we are dealing with our theme from a com
mercial point of view. True, we hear a
great deal more about the few men who
stand forth prominently as the advocates
of these dead issues than we do of the
thonaands of young and energetic South
ern men who are bulidiug cotton and
woolen mills; who are opening mines and
starting iron, copper aud zinc furnaces, or
who are relaying tbe roads between the
Atlantic and the Ohio and tbe Gulf.
Theee men don’t talk, they don’t write
books, they don’t go to the Legislature or
to Congress. They speak, trumpet-toned,
in results, however. In all soberness, I
don’t believe there are to-day any respec
table number of men south ofthe old Ma
son and Dixon line who seriously look
forward to a renewal of the race issues
which tbe war settled.”

paid two or three dividends since it was

probably it will never pay aucther one,as
the competition is too great for the amount

Michigan Central was an 8percenL stock.
It reduced its dividends to 4 per cent.
How mack do yoa suppose it can pay with

“Some people have heard ot John Law’s

Some people may think it a good joke for
a man to go into court and swear that he
does not remember whether he paid a
check of $5,000,000 or $10,000,000. Other
people may think it funny that a man
should swear that he was the treasurer of
a big corporation, and that he never kept
any books, never received or paid any
money, and never officially drew a check,
directly or indirectly. It may be very
funny to increase the capital stock of a
company from $44,000,000 to $80,000,000,
with nothing but tissue paper to show for
the increase. It will not be funny in the
