Railway Construction.

» Railway Age reports the amount of new railway track, main line, laid in the United States from January 1 to June l,

1887, to be 2,351 miles, an addition of 787 les since last month’s report. This total h iS hevel before been equalled at this Sva-

son of the year, with the single exception of the year 1882. More than half the track thus far reported laid is located as

follows: Indian Territory, 390 miles; | Texas, 366; Kansas, 262; Dakota, 222,

making a total in these four portions of the country of 1,240 miles, while California has added 157: Colorado 107 and Ne- braska 100 miles. None of the other States, so far as the records show, laid 100 miles each, but several of them | will soon greatly exceed ‘hat figure. The work of construction is almost entirely con- | fined to the new west, not a mile being yet reported from New England States or New York, with the exception of Massachusetts, in which eleven miles have been laid. ~~.

The Seott Act in Northumberland.

~_ —

Says the Chatham World: Nothumber- land ‘doesn’t seem to be getting much re- turn for the money it is throwing away as

salary for a Scott Act Inspector. The whole thing i is a farce, and an expensive one at that. The sale of whiskey and gin goes on without molestation, and will go on, even though the Inspector should seriously at- tempt to stop it. He seems to have con- fined his attention, so far, to lager beer. He bought a bottle in a Chatham saloon, and laid information again the manufac- turer, Mr. Cassady. It was analyzed by Mr. Mackenzie, and found to contain but six per cent. of alcohol. Another bottle was analyzed, and found to contain but two per cent. of alcohol. Information was Jaid before Police Magistrate Niven in New- castle, though all the witnesses and the de- fendant live here, and the defence asked for its dismissal, after evidence had been taken, on the ground that it had not been proved that the particular bottle which the Inspector purchased from Mr. Lawlor had been sold by Mr. Cassady. The court took time to consider. The ‘Temperance organ- izations, at whose urgent appeals the In- spector was appointed, must see, by this time, that the county 1s merely throwing away the salary as well as license fees, while the sale of liquor goes on unmolested, The sale of beer may be stopped, should |the courts condemn it as intoxicating, be- cause it is too bulky for concealment, and ‘those who are deprived of it will seek con-

solation in something strong. But the Temperance organizations care little for facts like these. So long «as there is legal

condemnation of the liquor business, they are content no matter how unrestricted the traftic may be.
