Government Ownership Of Railroads
No Good.
lCFrom Report of U. S. Consul at Sydney,
New South Wales.l

l(From Report of U. S. Consul at Sydney,
New South Wales.)
The government owns and operates
the railroads, street railways, water
works, docks, telegraphs, telephones,
etc. There are 2,577 miles Of railroad
in the Colony, of which but "a miles
are owned by private parties. In
1894 there were 100000 passengers
carried at one and twO-Lenths cents
per mile.
Total earnings were in 1894, $685.
54l pounds sterling.
Total working expenses il '94, 2,69l,-
S42 pounds sterling.
Net earnings, 1,22l,609 pounds
sterling.
All Government mail and freight
were carried free. All employees
work eight hours per day. Engineers
receive $3.50 and common labor $3.50
per day.
The consul says, SPY defying the
Cry of socialism the government saved
100000 acres of valuable land and
borrowed money to build the roads at
4 per cent and today the land which
the government would have had to
give to corporations to build the roads
is worth more than the total cost Of
the system. New South Wales owes
23O,OOO,OOO, but the utilities built by
this debt yield S2.5OO.OOO annually
more than the interest on the debt"

Harmony With a Big H.

Wichita Eagle.
Cleveland holds that Kentucky
needs an object lesson and Carlisle
comedies. Cleveland would rather
that gold should win than Democracy.
Republicans no doubt would rejoice
with Cleveland in the election of
Bradley, but the interest of the peO-
pie of the country would be better
conserved by the triumph of silver in
Kentucky.

the formation of sharp party lines. The
population of Washington is cosmopolitan
in marked degree. and the employees Of
the government are not apt to be the often
sive partisans Of any candidate. 1t would
be a matter Of wisdom for the party lead
ers to bring the conventions here in order
to divorce them from the absurd and intol-
cradle clamor Of the galleries and the at
tendant throngs of partisans who seek to
rush nominations through by sheer lung
power. Except so far as the delegates
themselves are concerned. the item of rail-
road fares involved by attendance upon
the convention should not be taken into
consideration. There will doubtless always
be more or less thronging to the conven-
tion cities by political clubs and organiza-
lions formed in the interests of particular
candidates, and 1t is for this reason largely
that there Is such demand each four
years for the privilege of holding the con-
vention and such rivalry between the
large cities. While it is of course too much
to expect at this time, the leaders of the
republican party would do themselves and
the country service by establishing a
new and sensible custom in the selection
OF Washington for the convention of '96
civil organizations in large numbers have
found this the most convenient place for

good example might we'll be emulated by

committee that will investigate his charges
against the Defender syndicate, nothing on
earth can possibly satisfy that captious
member of the British nobility Probably
no more remarkable body of men interested
In aquatic sports could be chosen for such
a duty. At the head of it is ]. Pierpont
Morgan. perhaps the leading American
banker of today. With him on che original
committee were William c. Whitney, ex-
secretary of the navy. and George j..
Rives, formerly assistant secretary Of
state. There are now added Edward ].
Phelps, who for four years was minister to
England from this country, and Capt. AL
ned 7. Mahan, U. S. N, conceded to be a
leading authority Of the world on naval
matters. Against the integrity of these
men no breath of suspicion could be enter
tanned for moment. In legal and tech
meal information they are conceded to be
unexcelled and their verdict, whatever its
nature, will be accepted by the people of
America and 1t should be by the people of
Europe as absolutely just and reliable The
extraordinarily high character and wide
reputation of these investigators indicate

short Walks for Cengres.men.

Some distance east of the Capitol only a
short walk from the nearest car line, stand
the Jail, the almshouse and the workhouse
of the District. Back of these buildings
is a tiny frame shanty in which a colored
man. who could find a place in none of the
regular hospitals. lies suffering from diph-
liberia that dreadful disease that prevails
in every large community to a greater or
less extent each winter. There is but one
ward and the place. while now fairly COM
Portable, has none of the conveniences
which modern medical science demands in
the erection of hospital The patient is
cared for by a nurse receiving the most
pitiful salary and the so-called hospital has
absolutely no conveniences for the comfort
of the physician who is from necessity COM
PEELED to Isolate himself from the rest of the
community at such a time This consti-
tutes today the sole apology for hospital
for contagious diseases which the District
of Columbia can afford. There Is now in
course of erection In the same vicinity a
small pest-house for the care Of smallpox
Iatients, to replace the wretched affair
that was occupied last winter. The District
Commissioners own lot in the northern
suburbs whereon 1t was once proposed to
build hospital for minor contagious dis
eases such as diphtheria and scarlet fever,
but public sentiment interviewed and the pro-
ject was abandoned, indeed before the ap-
preparation for the building itself was Sc
cured. 1t is not the purpose to use the
smallpox hospital for the care Of any other
diseases. nor would 1t be proper to do So
There Is grave need for an Immediate ap-
preparation for the erection of a comfortable
structure Of such a size that a variety Of
contagious diseases may be treated at the
same time without danger Of a spread Of
the infection. 1t Is a disgrace to the city
and to the nation that such a hospital was
not provided years ago. No civilized
community of any size can afford to neglect
this first Of all necessities, a place where
people suffering from the dangerous Ills
to which humanity is subject can be treated
in comfort and safety. Congressman who
want information about the Districts needs
should not overlook this, matter of grave
Importance.

tomorrow the republicans of America,
through their national committee will
choose time and place for holding the
quadrennial political convention which
dominates candidates for President and
Vice President of the United States The
meeting of this committee is held in Wash
ington because 1t is exceptionally central.
owing to the assemblage here at this time
OF the great leaders of the party in attend
ance upon Congress. and because of the
fact that Washington is unquestionably the
political center of the nation. The aues-
ton naturally arises why the business of
choosing candidates could not be as well
done at the national capital as the business
OF choosing time and place for such a Sc
lection. The old idea that operated against
this city was not based upon It's geograph
ical situation, but upon the peculiar theory
that the deliberations of a nominating con-
vention would here be liable to serious in
terruption by friends of the administra-
ton then in power. naturally considered as
a most interested element. As a matter of
fact. there Is less possibility of interfer-
ence here than in a community where DO
htical feeling sways strongly at such sea-
sons and the exercise of suffrage leads to

Short CampniEns,

The national republican committee that is
to meet in this city tomorrow ought to give
heed to the protests uttered by the business
men of America against a repetition next
year of the long presidential campaigns
that quadrennially affect the nation so Sc
riously. Boards OF trade, chambers of COM
merce and other similar organizations in
several of the great centers of the country
have adopted resolutions asking that the
campaign be shortened. and these represent
a strong interest which should not be
ignored by the politicians. While Washing
ton suffers less from the campaign fever
than the other large cities. it necessarily
feels the depressing influence which it has
upon the country at large. and is concerned
in the movement toward briefer campaigns.
The republican committee, meeting as it
does. before the corresponding meeting con-
Quoted by the democrats, can, if it pleases,
set the pace for the year by fixing upon a
date late in July for the session of the
nominating convention. 1t would be even
better for the country if this were post
poned until the latter part of August. Two
months would be ample for a campaign in
these days of newspapers. railroads and the
telegraph.

National Civil Service Reformers.

For the first time in its history the Ma
tional Civil Service Reform League will
this week assemble in Washington for its
annual meeting 1t Is an appropriate place
ior such a gathering as well as most
appropriate time. The city of Washing
ton has been the scene of the greatest
civic experiment of the age and has wit
messed it's complete success. 1t was an
experiment, doubtless, to change suddenly
from the vicious spoils system Of appoint
ments to that plan in which merit rather
than political opinions is regarded as the
measure OF fitness but the results that
have been attained have permanently fixed
the latter method as part of our scheme
of government, and the friends of civil
service reform today feel no anxiety lest
its enemies should succeed in destroying
the fabric thus raised. The city of Wash
ingson has for a couple of seasons had
local association similar in purposes to
the national league which now assemblies
here, and 1t has already done good work
in keeping alive the public interest in this
important matter. Just now it Is of great
consequence that the national thinkers
upon this subject should be brought to-
gether at the capital. which, it Is hoped.
will soon witness still another extension
of the system that is being gradually in
creased so as to include a large majority
of the employees of the government. The
step to which the intelligent citizens of
Washington are looking forward with in
terest will place the entire municipal gov
eminent under the opera tons of the civil
service law and will give the benefits of
its protection to the employees and the ad-
vantage5 of its operation to the citizens.
who will be thus guaranteed to certain
extent that the local government is OBJ
tanning the best available material for its
administration.
read at this annual meeting Is broad and
the arrangements so far made for the
session Indicate that the Washington meet
ing will be one of the most no able In the
history of the organization. The roll of
members of this league includes some
OF the most famous names In America and
the list of speakers at this session Is ex-
ceptionally attractive. There is still a
great deal of work to be done in the ex-
tension of the civil service idea through
out those departments of the government
service that not yet included within
its provisions. Steps have already been
taken looking to such extension to the
consular and postal service, but the adj
vocates of this reform will not be con-
tent until the government enjoys the bene-
fit of absolute immunity from the spoils
system in every branch.
