 If William J. Bryan can find the time in the multiplicity of other duties. to attend the International Railway Con- will learn several points as to the government operation of railroads which he has never dwelt upon. Among tries who will attend the congress are men who have in a practical way noted the conditions surrounding government railroads. They will be able. and distinguished Nebraska railroader the benefit of their experience.
 M. Lionel Marie. general manager of ferred to the matter in an interview in New York. He said the Idea of government ownership and operation moro discredited in Europe. Pensions. relief funds and other forms of patsr- nalism, he asserted, would eat up the revenues. An investigation of the pro- wayS by the French Government re- vealed that the road could not be suffi- | gently and economically managed by the government, and the. project was abandoned. M. Marie said:
 Tn France, despite the socialistic tendency of the government the ques- tion of the state buying the railroads | is no longer considered seriously. Eight years ago it was much dis; cussed question. Now we have several examples around us to serve as warn | ing Switzerland, I am sure, would be glad If it could return to private ownership.

ing to The Tribune, chicago's system of waterworks. which the city owns. is anything but satisfactory. The equip ment is antiquated and inadeduate;" in "one-third of the city there is dificulty in supplying water above the fsecond floor of dwellings," by reason of "di- version of the profits of the depart ment, the service Is twenty years be- hind the times;" collections of assess ments are ss0o,000 in arrears;" the i'm provement of the system is hindered by political considerations" and 1t will cost at least s25.OOo.ooo to put the sys- tenn in decent shape" Mayor Dunne. it is to be hoped, will not be so occu- pied in ''municipalizing" Chicago's street railways that he will have no time to look after the waterworks, al- ready municipalized. Profits from public utilities owned by cities should not be used in conducting other de- partments of the government, but should be. used to lower the rates charged to consumers. This Is a right which inheres to the taxpayers and If followed in Montgomery might make some difference in water bills.

One reason given for the passage of the idiotic anti-cigarette law by the IIlinoas Legislature is that after the bill had passed the Senate the Tobacco Trust gave it out that they would buy up all. the members of the lower house before, they would allow the bill to pass. That put the members in hole. If they evoted against the bill 1t would at oncelbe assumed that they had been bought, whether any of them were gull ty or not. While 1t is possible that some of them were open to a bargain they didn't care to face the notoriety That would have been theirs if they had voted against it. And it is doubtless true that some voted for the bin who were honestly and conscientiously op- posed to such Legislation, but did not care to put themselves in false posi- ion. If the story is true the Trust ioverreached itself that time.

AVOIDING OBLIGATIONS.

There seems to be a slack idea of Standing up to contracts on the part of some States, when it comes to pay ing out money. The State of Massa- schusetts is trying to avoid paying one .. B. Cotton for services rendered. The Boston Herald thinks the State Is 'mak- Ing a serious mistake and we hope Uovernor Douglass will take a serious view. As The Hartford Times says, s.the plan of trying to beat MT. Cotton eut of q part of his commission was Mbnceiyed by the Republican adminis- FAtion. which was beaten at the polls
 R November. and we don't believe NM Massachusetts governor wants to Allow the footsteps of his predecessor A the pathwaS of foolishness and dis NDnor."
 Another case in point is nearer home. After years of work a large sum of money was recovered from the Federal Government and paid over to the Flor ida Treasury. After the State had re- ceived 1t and spent it. the late Govern or Jennings refused to recognize the claims of Colonel S. A. Wailes and sought to cut him off with about one third of what he was justly entitled to. But for Col. Wailes's years of work 1t is not likely that the State would have secured the money and hS'is justly en- titled. to what his contracts called for.

Visitors to a quaint little church in
England observe a curious relic in the
shape OF high stool with leather
top like a saddle. The parish clerk
shows not a little pride in this relic and
tells its story with relish. During the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
the country parsons were accustomed
to spend much Of their time hunting
with their country squires. Often.
times the fox got more attention than
the sermon on the following Sunday.
Such was the case with the parson who
left the saddle stool behind him as a
relic of the days Of fox hunting par
sons. He was good deal more at
home in the saddle than in the pulpit
so In order to introduce some OF The
life and spirit into his discourses which
he felt while in the hunting field, thu
reverend gentleman had this saddle
stool made. It was placed In the pul
pit before the parson mounted tn
steps. Once astride this hobby the par
son was able to reach a much highe
degree of enthusiasm and eloquenc
than he could have unmounted.

reached New York and wended their

allowed no intruders, met them at the
door and inquired their business. They
answered that they had come to in
vestigate. what part Of the work do
you wish to inspect?" inquired the
Swiss mathematician. Congress had
no definite idea on that point. Then
you had better go and find out" re-
turned Hassier as he shut the door In
the faces of the astonished commit
tee. The committee looked ut each
other and on second sober thought con
cluded that Hassler was about righ'
and quietly wended their way down
stairs and back to Washington.

In typhoid fever the intestines are
the seat of the trouble, and all solid
foods should be debarred. Here nutri-
tious broths and liquids are needed,
but no meat should be given until the
temperature has been normal for sew
eraI days. In scarlet fever avoid all
nitrogenous foods, because the kidneys
and skin are congested. and those are
the organs that excrete nitrogen. Their
work should be lessened, not increased.
For this reason any of the legumes,
beans, peas or lentils should not be
used. Broth made from them would be
most disastrous, while beef or mutton
broth, which is less nutritious, can be
readily assimilated.
