1uiring railroads and holding them as
the property Of the empire, but tho
cost represents a very large figure. In
France. the ultimate state ownership OF
all the railroads is a matter Of national
policy. The process has net yet gone
very far. but nearly every step OF II
has been attended by scandals similar
to those that drove the last ministry
out Of power. After an unsuccessful
trial. most Of the state railways oil
Austria were sold to private corporations
for about half their actual cost. Mr..
KaDp is authority for the statement
that the government ownership Of rail
WAYS in Germany has brought about the
political enslavement of their employees,
none Of them daring to vote otherwise
than in accordance with the political
opinions Of their chief The I'alian
government. finding the ownership OF
railways losing business, appointed
a commission to investigate the subject,
and the report they submitted was
chat state railroads did not, as a rule,
do so much for industry as private
railroads: that, in general, their rates
were higher. their facilities worse, their
responsibility less. while the state rail-
road management was more apt TO tax
business than to foster 1t; political con-
s.de-ations were brought into matters
of railroad construction and manage
ment in a way that was disastrous alike
TO railroads and politics.
In this country State investments in
railroads have always turned out badly.
The experience Of Massachusetts in this
line cost that commonwealth some
twelve millions Of dollars. Michigan
builc and operated the Michigan Cen
trail & Southern and some other roads,
bur after ten years trial went out Of
the business. which was found so un-
profitable that q provision was incor-
por2ted in the constitution fOrbidding
the State from thereafter engaging in
any work Of Internal improvement Il
Hnois put a million in a railroad which
was sold for a hundred thousand dol
lars. Indiana expended S1.2OO,OOO on
road which it abandoned to private
ownership. Georgia, South Carolina,
Virginia and Missouri have all had
costly experience Of the folly Of public
ownership Of railroads. Pennsylvania
began the construction Of a railroad, but
sold The unfinished work to private cor
pOradons, leaving on record the conv.c-
tion, drawn from experience and never
shaken, that transportation must be re
garded as a private enterprise and not
as q public function"
In the Eight Of such experience it is
hardly possible that a majority should
De found in Congress ready to sanction
the acquisition by the government Of
the Pacific railroads.

TE1EGRANs WILL BE SENT.

Some time ago Observer c. Schnepf,
the druggist, received a notice from the
weather bureau authorities that owing
to a lack of money to continue the tele-
graphic service TO all point, Wheeling
would be cut OFF. Mr.. Schnepf wrote to
the authorities, and also made a trip td
Pittsburg to see the weather authorities
I'D there. Meanwhile the kilograms
were dropped for few days, but owing
to Mr.. Schnepfs personal exertions they
have been resumed, and will be kept up
hereafter.
1t is gratifying to know that had the
kilograms not been resumed by the de
partment a number Of public spirited
citizens would have betrayed the cost
out of their own pockets rather than
see the serIic discontinued.
