The Railway Lost.

New York. Nov. 30.-The suit of the

trict court to compel the Western Union
company to afix and pay for revenue
stamps required by the war revenue law
in telegraphic messages transmitted I'M
der its contract with the railway COM
pany. has been dismissed at the railway
~company's cost. The contention OF the
railway company was that the service
which the telegraph company agreed to
give to the railway company was to be
free Of charges. The telegraph company's
answer was that IL could have no respon-
sibility for the taxes laid down by the
United States government on telegraphic
messages. especially I'm view of the re-
peated rulings of the commissioner of in
ternal revenue that the law requires that
the maker. signer or user" of Geographic
messages must afix and pay for the
stamps.

THINK IT OVER.
"A Popular Poet Offers Some Thoughts OF.
the Subject of Railroads.

"A Popular Poet Offers Some Thoughts OF:
the Subject of Railroads.
Will Carleton, the popular household
poet, in his paper, Everywhere, recently
published the following under the head
ing "Who Owns the Railroads." 1t is
significant as Well as sensibl1:
IN Nobody owns any lanui u anything,
absolutely. His deeds are in effect leases
from the government un!er which he
lives, and under some circumstances.
they can be revoked and the property
confiscated. II the situation were an
alyzed, it would be found that govern.
lnent is really the owner Of everything
and that taxes are the rent which it
charges the holder and enjoyer Of its
effects. Surely no other conclusion can
be reached, for if property belonged alb
solutely to the individual he could con-
troll it without reference to government.
And it is no more than fair that such
should not be the case, for without the
protection OF government, property
ceases to be such anu becomes merely
the prey of thieves and robbers.
Railroads are iron highways that
really belong to the people, which
means, or should mean, the government.
They are all subject to the laws of the
states through which they pass and to
those of the United States. The fact
that foreigners own a part or all the
stock of a railroad does not make it any
less the property of the United States.
"The time is not very far distant
when, without reference to present lines
Of party, the question will be agitated
whether the government should not take
possession of it's railroad property, reim-
burse fairly those who have stock in the
same and conduct it as it now does GER
tain other enterprises. Many voters will
hold that the profits Of such concerns
should go to the people who own and
patronize them, and that the losses,
when they occur, should fall upon the
country at large, rather than upon a
certain number of stockholders outside
the ring
eve are not discussing this question;
we are only prophesying that it will
arise, be seriously considered and voted
upon, and we advise our readers to be
thinking the matter over"
