THE Talk OF THE DAY.

= young man. twenty-three years old. was the
centre OF an interested assembly IN one OF the
stores in a little town in Rockland County few
days ago. He had just returned from his hrst
visit to New York and HIS friends were anxious
10 hear all about what he had and expert
enced He was less enthusiastic than his neigh
bors expected him 10 be. and contrary TO their
expectations nothing wonderful The friend
whom he had visited worked in stable and he
spent the day with him helping around then

took walk in that part Of the city, went to bed
and next morning started for home. Nothing

NEW JERSEYS RAILROAD RETALIATION

NEW JERSEYS RAILROAD RETALUATION-
In the appointment of Frank Stevens, of Jer-
sev City: Samuel WINERY, of East Orange, and
Charles Hansel of Crawford, 10 membership in
the commission 10 reyalue the railroad property
of the state Governor Fort of New Jersey has
again shown that independent spirit and devo-
ton to the best interests Of the state which have
characterized his administration. Except from
a partisan point of view. no criticism can be
made of the personnel of the commission, and
there is every reason TO believe that the work
laid out for it will be performed to the credit
of the commission and of the state.
This commission is created as a result Of Il
resolution adopted at the last session of the
Legislature on the suggestion of the legislative
committee appointed TO devise ways and means
to increase the revenues of the state. Hudson
County especially has been complaining that
the railroads were not bearing their just burden
of taxation, and because Of the hopes enter
tanned along these lines the results of the com
missions labors will be awaited with interest.
The members Of the commission are all men
who command the highest respect. Mr.. Hansel
is an expert in the work which has been as
signed to him. He assisted in the revaluatio
of the railroad properties Of Michigan, and per
formed his duties so well that his work won the
special commentator of the Governor Of that
state. Mr. WINERY is a consulting engineer of
high reputation. and his work in connection
with the adjustment between the city Of New
ark and the Delaware, Lackawanna x Western
Railroad of the cost OF raising the tracks there
was most creditable. His opinions on questions
of constructive cost will be Of value. Mr..
Stevens is the real estate member Of the com
mission. He is one Of the best known operators
In Hudson County, where the greater part Of
the railroad property lies, and has accurate
knowledge Of the field
The problem of placing a proper valuation
railroad property is always difficult and because
Of the enormous values in New Jersey 1t is
especially difficult in that state. 1t IS of the
utmost Importance to the state that such i'm
mense properties should be properly valued. and
such a valuation is promised by the character
of the commission appointed To do the work.
Whether the results justify the hopes of those
who expect 10 find increased revenue for the
state in higher assessments on railroad property.
or whether the valuation already insisted upon
IS lowered the people of the state may conf
IDENTITY expect that impartial justice will be done.

dred or six hundred miles without mishap the
performance would not guarantee Mr.. WeImans
success. A voyage Of that length over the con
tinent Of Europe would be attended with less
risk than one not Il bit longer over the Arctic

Mr.. Welman's capacity would seem to be a trial
of the buoyancy of his airship. showing whether
it can make a continuous voyage Of sufficient
length to insure a return in spite of slight de-
viations from straight course The necessary
