The question Of government owner
ship Of railways which the peoples
party advocate, has been ridiculed by
the republican press. who claim that 1t
would not work. The following ex-
tract. taken from an interview with
Prof Ely on his return from Europe by
the Kansas City Star, shows that it
works in Germany, and why shouldn't
It work hereP Prof. Ely says:
Il was very much Impressed during
my stay in Germany this summer by
the superior service of the controlled
railways OF that country as compared
with the careless management Of our
lines. There was scarcely an acciden5
| in Prussia the whole Summer, while in
this country nearly five times as many
passengers were injured Or killed out
right. The American railways have
not enough employees to ensure safety
and attention. England has four times
as many men. end Germany even more.
1--WE are fully thirty years behind
Germany for safety for passengers.
There are no unSuarded crossings al
lowed to menace the public. Even at
| the stations there is no crossing the
tracks to reach outgoing trains, as Is
the case in our own union stations, To
| get on the other side in Germany you
must descend "A flight of steps and pass
through a tunnel under the track. The
stations themselves are models Of
beautiful architecture. The new one
in Frankfort cost $4,000 900. When
the government intends To erect a new
station IL offers prize to architects for
ornamental designs. There is a maxi
mum of comfort received in railway
travel, as the stations are all union
stations, which is possible since the
government controls all the lines.
''Since I was in Germany ten years
ago many improvements in speed have
been made. fifty miles an hour being
the scheduled time for m%ny trains.
The express from Berlin to Hamburg
made fifty miles an hour, all stops in
cluded. Government ownership also
opens a way for the use of the railway
for social purposes. The general opin-
Ion is that the population is too much
centralized in the large cities and by
the cheap zone or belt railroad system.
soon TO be opened in Berlin, workmen
may i've IN the suburbs ana WORK IL
the city without much expense.
The government management OF
the railway finances has also been a
= brilliant success, surprising all ex
pectations. In Prussia alone last year,
after paying the interest and part Oi
the principal on the bonded debt, there
was a surplus of $25, 100000 The re-
ductiOn in fares and freights annually
amount to a distribution of over s25..
oO0,O00 ImusU say a word for the higt
quality of the freight services, which
is fully equal to the express traffic in
many parts of our own country. A
trunk can be sent all over Germany
with perfect safety and convenien It
for a mere trife, while a few cents
more guarantees its delivery at a Ger
tain hour"

Her Onin,on Of Hin.

Blaine divorce proceedings, which were
in progress at the office Of Referee

since she bid him goodbye at Bar Har-
Dor. three years ago, she controlled
any sign of surprise SO we'll that her
companion never suspected the man
who rose as they entered WAS the per-
son in question. Mrs Doremus had
seen Blaine before. but il was wears
ago, and as his wife did not take the
slightest notice of him. she did not
suspect it was he. During the pro-
ceedings Mrs Doremus said to the
person next to her:
The man in this case is a scoundrel
and pOltroOn."

There was a regular checker board of
weather last Sunday along the Eastern
slope. While the rain was pouring from
the umbrellas of church goers in Staunton,
4 half inch snow gathered on those of the
worshipers in Harrisonburg not twenty
five miles off, and in Florida q thousand
miles away the church goers were lodging
hail stones as large as cherries. This has
been remarkable Spring SO far, and it is
very disheartening to remember that up to
date it is al exact duplicate of the Spring
of 1862 as experienced in this Valley. On
the 26th of April in that year snow fell to
the depth of ten inches, and Stonewall
Jacksons men were tramping through it
around here without tents. Maj. Jed
Hotchkiss his Typographical engineer stood
on the end of Massanutten mountain in
that storm and signaled Stonewall of
Shields whereabouts as the ''toot cavalry y
were Icing marched through the fearful
roads lelow him to occupy the Federal gen
eral S attention while Ewell S Confederates
were being slipped over the mountain and
marched into Jackson's deserted camp.
Maj. Hotchkiss says this Spring is an eX-
act copy of that one Twenty-Five years ago.
so far, likeness that is not very encour-
aging for the ''early Spring" all of us have
been hoping for.

There seems to be a considerable streak
Of honest straight forwardness of the
Grover Cleveland stripe about J. Taylor El-
Tyson, the Mayor of Richmond. In the last
week he has promptly suspended and
brought to justice two city officials, one
for malfeasance and the other misfeasance
in office. Both are described in the press as
Democratic workers" of great value in
elections, and one of them was specially a
warm partisan of the Mayor. Untrust-
worthy men are to be found in all political
parties but it is only when partizanry I'M
dertakes to shield them from justice that
they can become a menace to honest gov
eminent. A few more Ellysons would
greatly improve tie municipal governments
of this country and-alas fol- our national
pride-would greatly improve our national
government.

With Gen. Jos. E. Johnston S death pas
SEES away the last of Virginia S quota to the
full Genera ais of the Confederate army. Of
the five, she furnished two-Robert E..
Lee and Jos. E. Johnston. Of
the Lieutenant Generals that she furn-
ished but two survive-Thos. T.. Rosser
and Jubal A. Early. OF the great COM
handing figures of either army Gen. John
ston was the last survivor. Lee was the first
to go, then Grant, then Sherman, and now
Johnston. Of all them, except Gen. Lee,
Gen. Johnston led the most quiet life after
the civil war ended. Embroiled in no dis
cussions, exciting the eHmity of none, the
great Virginia soldier passed along the end
ing road of life with dignified step and
kindly mien. That he was a great soldier is
conceded by the world, but how great is best
appreciated by those who knew the inside
of the Confederacy and the slender material
and untoward circumstances by which he
was trameled. AT his burial, both COnfede-
rate and United States armies officers par
ticipated in doing honor to his memory as a
soldier who had given lustre to the deeds OF
both.

Justice to all parts of the city. Nothing 'ooa1d
10 match adraace sts prosperity. The present
condition OF its streets is very discreditable
and Injurious We should be very glad to
see the Council concentrate its attention and
the resources of the city on these needful
matters, even at the expense of other less I'M
portant objects of expenditure. Let us have
good, solid, well-graded roadways all over
the city, and a good many more clrrbed, and,
If possible, paved sidewalks than now exist.
AS these improvements would be enjoyed by
all, let them be made at the expense OF the
city, and kept afterwards in thorough repair.
Such policy, we believe, would be generally
commended. UTILITY.
