A Fable.
Battle Flag.

Batt'e rag.
Once upon a time a man died
and went TO the gate of heaven to
get in. St. Peter came to the gate
and asked him his name. He told
it, and St. Peter looking all through
the books of life, said he could not
find the name of the man. The
man seemed surprised and asked
st. Peter to look again for surely
he must have overlooked it, and
began to tell him about what a
good fellow he had been on earth;
that he had always attended church,
paid the preacher, the doctor, the
lawyer, the merchant and had al
ways helped the poor. Peter SEEM
ed surprised now and called an an
gel and told him to bring the book
of works as there must be some
mistake here, as this mans name
was not found in the book of life.
The angel went and returned with
a book that covered the period in
which the man lived and Peter
took it and looking through it
said, "Ah, this explains it all, you
died and left your subscription to
the Battle Flag unpaid.
MORAL:-You boys who owe
your subscription to the PoPUILsT
had better take warning.

Owners Of the Universe.

Let us corner up the sunbeams
Lying all around our path;
Get trust on wheat and roses,
Give the poor the thOrns and chat.
Let us find our chiefest pleasure
Hoarding bounties of to-day,
So the poor shall have scant measure
And two prices have to pay.
Yes, we'll reservoir the rivers,
And we'll levy OH the lakes,
And we'll lay a tritiing tOll-tax
On each poor man who partakes
Well brand his number ON him
That he'll carry through his life;
Well apprentice all his children,
Get a mortgage on his wife.
We will capture even the vind-god,
And confue him in cave;
And then, through our pateLt process,
We the atmosphere will save;
Thus we'll squeeze our little brother
Wher he tries his lungs to fill,
Put meter ON his wind-pipe
And present our little bill.
We will syndicate the starlight,
And mOnoplize the moon!
Claim royalty on rest days,
A proprietary noon;
For right of way through oceans spra
We charge just what it's worth;
Well drive our stakes around the lakes
In fact, we'll own the earth.

Government Ownership of Rail.
roads.

The Populist party platform is
in favor of the government owner
ship of railroads. This is no new
idea, as government ownership of
railroads is as old as the railroads
themselves. Germany owns 23,-
2S5 miles, Austro-Hungary 1900,
Italy 8, 10, Belgium 5000, British
India, S,423. Portugal, Denmark,
Norway, Roumania, Russia, Japan,
Egypt, The Cape Colonies, Port
Natal, New South Wales, Victo-
ria, Tasmania, New leland, South
Australia. Queensland, West Aus
tralia, Argentine Republic, Brazil
and Canada own railroads. The
railroads of Germany turned into
the State treasury in 1891 $780,
900, 900. The cost of construct
ing and maintaining railroads in
Germany greatly exceeds the cost
of the same in this country. More
men are employed in operating
German railroads. The equip
ment and speed of trains are su-
periOr to our roads. The accom-
modations are better, the lives of
passengers safer, and freight and
passenger rates much less. The
government saves millions annual
ly in the transportations of mail,
troops and supplies for the army
and navy, which under our system
goes to swell the receipts of cor
porations. That railroads can be
operated under government owner
ship and controlled more economi-
cally no one will attempt to deny.
For instance American railroads
expend annually $13, 100000 for
presidents salaries. Thirty mil
lions could be saved by dong away
with passes to politicians and priv
ileged classes, $40, ,OOO, 900 saved by
abrogating the commission system,
800, ,000, 900 by consolidating routes,
depots and stats, 81, ,OOO, 900 by dis
banding traffic associations, S15,-
900, 900 by abolishing the solicitor
system, $5,00O,00O advertising,
$40, 0,OOO,0 900 on printing, $50, ,OO0,-
600 on corruption fund, $50, ,OO0,-
600 on rebates and trusts, combina-
ton and favored shippers, $780,
900, 900 In dividends, besides hun
dreds of millions paid by the gov
ernment for carrying the mails,
troops, army and navy supplies,
mileage for senator's, congressman,
United States marshals and govern
ment employees. Under govern
ment control passenger. and freight
rates could be reduced half and our
system of railroads made self sus-
tanning and become a source of
revenue to the government as thew
are in Germany and Russia. With
a rigid civil service law, apportion-
ing. the employees among the politi-
cal parties or taking away the right
to vote while in the service would
take the railroad out of politics
and cease to corrupt national and
state legislatures. It would not be
necessary to buy all the railroads
In the country to inaugurate this
reform in our railroad system.
One great trunk line from New
York to San Francisco and one
from Duluth to Galveston and New
Orleans would solve the problem of
government ownership Of railroads
