Dom ran the government for S77.OOO.O0O a year, while under the Fonseca man agement it takes $130,000,000 to foot the bill. This is doubtless one of the reasons for the kicking going on .down there. .1:1111 VOL. XLLX.-NO. 50. The friends of Fire-alarm Foraker say he should be sent to the Senate in place of Sherman, because Sher man is too cold, and what they want is some fellow who can do the fire act and ram hot talk dow.n the throats of the Southerners. They have measured , Foraker's capacity about right, arid if elected on this idea, as a representative of men who have so little patriotism or brains, he will probably prove an amusing success. v- A contemporary remarks that the theory . that ..somnambulists are watched over by Providence is smashed by the fate of a man in Pittsburg, who, in his sleep, walked out of a second-story window and was killed. The theory does not apply to Pittsburg, for that is one of the naughty towns that is bidding for the Republican National Con vention. People in a town like that can't expect much Providential over looking. The London Spectator says the tendency of the rural population in England to the cities is irresistible, and the young men and women are leaving the farms in such numbers that farmers find it impossible to se cure sufficient labor to cultivate the soil. Rutherford B. Hayesj-of Ohio, says he never raised a chicken in his life, and the story that he is engaged in the poultry business is a fowl misre presentation from beginning to end, hatched out by some mischievous persons to belittle him.

The Fifty-Sixth ; Annual Meeting of the . W. & W. E. B. Co. A Most Creditable Showing Old Officers He-El6Cted. The fifty-sixth annual meeting of the stockholders of the Wilmington & Wel don Railroad Company was held yester day at noon at the offices of the A. C L. in this city. Out of a total of 30,000 shares of cap ital stock over - 2,500 shares were represented in person or by proxy. On motion of President Warren G. Elliott, Hon. George Davis was called to the chair, and Mr. Jas. F. Post, Jr., was made secretary. Messrs. H. B. Short, P. L. Bridgers and the secretary were constituted a committee on credentials, and they re ported, after due examination, that, a large majority of the stock was repre sented. The report of the committee was adopted, and the chair declared the meeting open and ready for business. President Warren G. Elliott, of the W& W. R. K., submitted his report, which was accepted and approved. Mr. H. Walters (now Vice President) submitted his report as General Man ager, which was accepted and approved. The report shows a most gratifying con dition of the road and generally of the country it traverses. General Manager Walters says in his report : This fiscal year has been the most successful one m the history of the de velopment of the Wilmington & Weldon railroad and of the territory which it serves. The cotton crop was an enoi mous one; all other crops were abundant and general business was correspond ingly gtod. Our territory did not be gin to feel the effects ofthe New York money panic of November until late in the Spring. The effects ot this panic are now upon us, and the opening fiscal year will have to bear the burden of this trouble, of the low price of cotton, and of the short crops in North and South Carolina. The railroads of this country, and particu atly of the South, have reached a most critical stage of their develop ment and usefulness, and I deem it my duty to call the attention not only, of our stockholders and bondholders, but of our employes and patrons to the dangers which threaten dividends,wages and good transportation facilities and train service. All of these depend not upon the gross but upon the net re ceipts. And the net receipts do not de pend upon the tonnage carried but upon the revenue derived from its transporta tion and upon the cost of carrying it. The transportation of passengers and freight are the two sources from which revenue is derived. It is a surprising fact that both local passenger and local freight rates on our road are to-day from thirty-five (35) to fitty-sLx (oi) per cent, less than they were in 1670, twenty-one years ago. In 1877 passenger rates were five (5) cents per rone lor nrst class ana m 1870 our Traffic Manager reports they were six (b) cents, lo-day they are three and one-quarter (3) cents, showing a re- cucfon in first class rates in twenty-one (21) years of forty-six (46) per cent. Under what conditions has it been possible for us to make these reductions in local rates? : 1st. By combinations with roads north ana south of us whereby a through ser vice was established which developed new subjects of transportation. 2nd. By centralizing the transporta tion and car seivice so that the use of freight cars has been nearly doubled. 3rd. By increasing the capacity of our freight cars from eight and ten tons to twenty tons. 4th. By increasing the capacity of our engines so that our freight trains formerly limited to fifteen loaded cars now often consist of thirty-five. 5th. By decreasing the cost of track maintenance through replacing iron with steel rails. 6tb. By centralizing the general of flees of the roads comprising the At lantic Coast Line and thereby saving the heavy expenses of a separate organ ization for each road. 7th. By the advantages gained in purchasing supplies, in placing insurance and in dealing as an aggregation of roads with the public. The above are the principal conditions which have made it possible lor the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad to face this enormous reduction in its passenger fares of 46 per cent, and in its freight rates of an average of about 45 per cent. in the past twenty-one years. And dur ing this same period the wages paid our. employes have increased from twenty to forty per cent., and in some cases more. This brings us to the cn:ical stage and to the question; can we continue a forced reduction of our rates such as has taken place in the past twenty-one years and rnaintain the present rate of wages, the present train service, the present quick transportation, and secure to the stockholders a fair return upon their money? Without hesitation the answer is no. 1st. The economies arising from cen tralization and combination have been already secured. 2nd. The engines and cars have about reached the maximumcapacity which steam power can operate with economy 3rd. Steel rails have begun to wear out so that this heavy item of expense will again be added to operating ex penses. 4th. Cutting out the heart of pine for ests along our road has made it neces sary to burn coal in our locomotives at a largely increased cost for fuel, and the price of cross-ties and timber is materi ally increased. 5th. On account of increased speed of trams the demand for increased safety appliances upon both passenger and freight trains is being met by us at an increasing expense for maintenance of cars. ; 6th. The cost of handling freight at terminals arising from competition and better service is a source ol increasing expense. 7th. The Postmaster General has ex ercised the authority placed in his hands to decrease our "special facilities" pay one-third, with notice that he will re duce it an additional amount each year. Our Company loses this year by this order $9,847.09. . I know ot no points from which to ex pect relief from the effects of these in creasing expenses unless from an in creased business at remunerative rates, and here we are confronted with the construction of new lines of road which wiirsoon be strong competitors for both passenger and freight business that we have heretofore enjoyed exclusively, or unless it be" secuied by decreased train service, by reductions in salaries of offi cers and employes and by decreased dividends to stockholders. The demands of both National and State Railroad Commissioners are be fore us. Let us hope the powers granted them will be exercised with beneficent results to all alike. - The Scotland Neck branch was open ed to Kinston on October 1st, 1890. In February, 1891, contracts were let for the completion of what is known as the "Cut Off" and this important branch will be opened in January. The work upon it was heavy and most of the win ter will be consumed in ballasting and getting the track in condition, so that it will not be ready for heavy traffic before the spring and summer. This branch, in connection with the Florence Rail road and the other roads comnrisins the Atlantic Coast Line, will constitute the shortest practicable route between New York and Charleston. It will also open a route from Norfolk to Charles ton almost an air-line, and as short as any line which can be built. The contract has also been let for building a branch to Washington, N. C. from the crossing of the Albemarle & Kaleigh Railroad near Bethel. This wll be completed by January next. On motion of Vice-President H. Wal ters, President Warner G. Elliott was unanimously re-elected president for the ensuing year, and the following were re-elected directors: Messrs. B. F. Newcomer, Wm. T. Walters, Michael Jenkins and J. P.
