MARVELLOUS RAILROAD MANAGE
MENT.

In no respect is the success OF Amer
lean business methods more clearly
shown than in railway management.
The railways OF the United States are
better equipped, better tefficered, and
have better financts. direction than
those of England or the cousSaent %
Europe. Whether passenger or freight
traffic be considered, there is scarcely
room to question the advantage on the
American side OF the account
The passenger trains in the United
States are more luxurious than those
abroad. The former are better equipped
at all points than the latter. The cars
are heavier. the locomotives are more
powerful. the roadoeds on the princi-
pal lines are in better condition. and
Tor ordinary trains the time is faster
Fer long. cont n sous runs there are no
quicker trains abroad than in this
country.
The American freight cars carry
from three TO ten times the load OF the
foreign goods" car, American freight
schedules are more regularly kept aud
rates are much lower. Locomotives
are far more powerful for all kinds Of
isffic in this country than on the
other side or the ocean.
These reflections are suggested and
stimulated in part by the late annual
report Of the Chicago. Milwaukee & ST.
Paul Railway. That great system dur
ing The last fiscal year spent above six
