American Railway Situation.


American Railway Situation.
The railway situation. generally speak
ing. seems to be the leading world topic,
and the situation in the United States II
at the head of the list. came across
the continent from Constantinople to Lon
don and not much else was talked about
American high finance has got itself into
deep disrepute in Europe Yet there is I'M
limited confidence in the American govern
ment So far as the talk goes OF govern
ment measures in the United States injur-
ing the sale or American railway shares
ana bonds nobody will say that who has
made Inquiries in any of the financial cap
itals. 1t works the other way. The Euro
pean investors take very kindly to such
measures. They don't know much about
the relation of the different states to Con-
gress and the federal authority. That con-
fuses them in the railway matter as in our
treaty relations; but both the European
public men and the investment classes look
upon national railway regulation in the
United States as a certainty.
Government Ownership.
''The only inquiry / found them making
was as to the agitation for government
ownership. Mr.. Bryan in his trip around
the world stirred up much interest in his
own personality and In his political future,
so that when he came out in favor of ulti-
mate government ownership It was accept
ed abroad that he would be a candidate
on that platform with the adjective drop
ped.
Il had been too long and too far away
to give a good guess that probability
but the frequency with which the question
was asked and then answered in the affirm
alive by. the inquirer seemed to show their
Interpretation of Mr.. Bryans position.
European students of our politics appear
to think that our next national campaign
will be an issue between government own
ership and government regulation of the
railroads. Personally, / don't believe the
experience of other countries is likely to en-
courage state ownership as a remedy for
shortages in rolling stock. In India. where
they have It, the shippers have been petit
toning and complaining for the last ten
years against the governments failure to
meet their wants. This year they got S13.-
100000 in the appropriation to provide for
rolling stock on something like 1900 miles
of railway which are controlled by the gov
eminent and that was an increase OF only
S12O,OOO over the previous year, though in
some instances the traffic has doubled. In
Italy the government took over the rail-
ways, and the first result has been great
losses to the commercial community. The
shippers are wild. Public indignation meet
ings have been held in Milan and the other
manufacturing and commercial centers.
However, there ought to be plenty of in
formation on these subjects available in
Washington next winter. for a number OF
eminent political economists and university
professors are coming from Europe to

Dutch Courage.
From the London Chronicle.

The phrase Dutch courage" which, as
the World truly says. was q libel upon the
most redoubtable foes (and now the truest
friends) we ever met at sea. seem to have
originated in a story that a hogshead OF
brandy was preached before the mast on
Dutch man-of-war upon going into action.
There were many old expressions which i'm
piled our forefathers' belief in the convivial
habits Of the Dutch. A Dutch bargain
was a bargain made when all the parties
were in liquor, and q Dutch FEAST is ex-
planned by Grose as one at which the en-
tertainer got drunk before his guests. Any
number Of expressions may be assigned to
the old hostility to the Dutch-such as
Dutch comfort" or Consolation Cts
a good job it's no worse); q Dutch de-
fense," which in ''Tom Jones" means q
treacherous surrender; and. III do. I'm a
Dutchman.'

PREFACE.

1T seems to me-" said a philosopher
once, that there are no entirely good
men in the world and nom completely
bad. Single out you best man and
you will find that he lacks perfection
in some parts Of him, and examine
our worst and you will find that he
has at least one redeeming quality"
In his book the men mostly verge
toward bad, but some are better thar
Others. Because they are merely human
hey act according to their lights. You
may meet others like them any day If
you go out and about, and of them
give extremely good dinners. Till they
are found out you consider them
amusing. Afterwards, being better
than they, o naturally set them
down as most pernicious scoundrels
and shake hands with yourself and
write to your tailor and order more
noticeable ~phylacteries on the mex new
suit. This is called Keeping up q
healthy moral tone and does a great
teal of good in the world.
