The Electric Locomotive.

The initial experiment in the definite
purpose of the New York Central to
adopt electricity as the motive power of
it's entire system is n success. The
first railroad train has been drawn by
an electric motor over standard
gauge ira Ks. and those who try to keep
up with the rapid progress of modern
invention realize that an event of far
reaching importance has taken place
The trip was from High bridge to tn
Grand Central Station. a distance Of
seven miles. Since the route lay within
the city boundaries no attempt 10

seven miles was traversrd in eighteen
minutes: however, the electrical
locomotive is capable Of eighty nine
miles an hour. Eight Of the heaviest

which was $50 tons. comprised the train

there was no jar nor JOLT when the train

Instead Of the puff, puff, Of

as by one impulse. There was no back

which is always the case with n heavy
train on a level Instead. the acre!er,
ton of speed was almost instantaneous.
and it was as smooth and as impcr-
ceptible as If the wheels We're turning
over 4 stretch of rubber rails.
This was due. as the electrical engi-
neers on board explained. to the method
of gathering up the direct current from
the protected third rail.
There was no rOiSe whatever. a pas
Senger would scarcely know that the
train was in motion but for the fitting
panorama of rail fences and telegraph
poles. The running was as smooth as

States That Have Tried II.

Mr.. Rryan's plan for the government
ownership of railroads-the bic trunk
lines by the national government and
the local lines by the state governments
has brought to light a lot of almost
forgotten history of the DAYS when
various states embarked in the bust
ness OF government ownership. either
constructing railroads outright or
pledgins moneys in aid and forming a
partnership with private enterprise.
rhe better that chapter becomes
known, the worse it will be for the
Bryan doctrine and the more disposed
the state will be to decline the sug-
gestion made in their behalf that they
share with the national government the
protits-and risks-of railroad owner
ship
Governor Folk recalls Missouri's dis
astrous experience as owner and man
ager Of railroads and Senator Daniel
of Virginia tells how his state lost mil
lions in similar enterprises. The In
dianapolis News recalls the fate of the
Madison and Lafayette Railroad I'M
dertaken in 1896, for which Indiana APP
propriated 81 300 900. After six years
losses of sl.5OG, 900. Indiana, however,
got off rather better than Virginia. or
than Missouri. which spent 49, GOO 900
in railroad construction and got $1,000
900 back
The New York Mail says that in all
10 states advanced public funds for
the construction of railroads. No
summary has ever been made of :he
amounts advanced. or OF the losses.
There is reason to believe. however,
that the amounts expended were in the
| nighborhood Of $500, 900, 0O0 At least
| three of this amount was lost.
As johnson says in his American Pail
way TranspoItat ton. 1.-THE aid given by
| American states to railroad building
accomplished small results. In near
| " all cases the railroads constructed
by the states were sold out to cor
porations for but small fraction of
what had been expended uron the
roads Several of the states, more
over, decided to repudiate the debts"
1t is a common claim by the advo-
Gates of government ownership that
wherever 1t has been tried it has been
success" The Mail declares that
| exactly the opposite is the fact, and
gives three standing proofs of it.
| THE first is that Americans are more
inhospitable to government ownership
| than Europeans are; their fingers have
been burned before. The second is
| that suspicion as to the bonded obliga-
| tions of American states still persists
among European investors; their fin
gers were burned when these states re-
| pudiated their railroad debts. The
| third is the fact that in the cOnStitu
ton of every state is paragraph pre-
| scriDing debt limit of from to 10 per
| cent of property values. This is
monument of caution raised in behalf
| of their children by men who had seen
| states, counties and municipalities en-
| bark in public ownership enterprises,
and either WEIGH on them or pass on
