Steps Toward Nationalism,
Tha state ownership of raiiw&yfl has
teen tested in Germany for over forty
years. At the Very begibniiig of railroad
building (1835) the Prussian government
in return for pecuniaiy aid, reserved to
itself the right of control. In 1848 the
government began to construct its own
roads and to buy out others. In
1885, out of 11,000 miles of rail
road, but 1,000 were in private hands,
the rest in the hands of the government.
In the last ten years the mileage has in
creased 33 per cent, and the revenue
(according to statistics just publihed)
has increased 41 per cent, while in Eng
land and France the mileage has in
creased 10 per cent, and the revenue but
20 and 3 per cent, respectively. Moreover,
it appears that the German lines are
operated more economically than in
either France or England, the net reve
nue having increased 23 per cent, in
Germany, 15 per cent, in England, and
having slightly decreased in France dur
ing the last ten years. The returns on
capital invested in German roads was in
1890-91, an average of 18G per cent.; in
English roads, 4.10 per cent; in French
roads, 3.75 per cent. As regards accom
modations for the public on the German
roads, we quote the following from En
cyclopaedia Britannica (vol. xx, page
251):
The prices paid for the roads by the
government were, as a rule, hign.
but the lines are nevertheless managed
with considerable profit to the state.
The passenger train service is prompt
and comfortable. The speed attained la
greater than elswhere in continental
Europe, the maximum being about 45
miles,. The passenger rates are low,
averaging about 0.7d per mile 1.4 cents
for all passengers carried. There are
comparatively few accidents. The
freight service is rather slow, and the
charges are not relatively so low as those
for passengers. On the other hand they
have for the most part avoided preferen
tial rates.
That's a record that is worth striving
for in this country. The construction of
roads is cheaper here and the record
ought to be better. New York Voice.

NEW SERVICE TO NEW YORK.
The Memphis to Pat on a Fast Train
From the South to Gotham.
The Memphis road has completed all
arrangements for a fast vestibule train ser
vice between Memphis and New Tork by
way of Atlanta and Washington. The ser
vice will be inaugurated next Sunday, the
20th. The east-bound train will leave
Memphis at 9:30 o'clock eaoh night, reach
ing Atlanta at 11 o'clook the next morning
and arming in New York at noon of the
following day. The run from Memphis to
Atlanta will be made in fourteen hours,
which is a pretty lively gait, and the record
from Memphis to New York will be broken
by about three hours. The trains to be used
in this service are as fine as anything in
the country, and are fully equipped with
the necessary conveniences of a modern
railway train. To the business men of the
southwest, and to patriots enroute to Wash
ington about the 4th of March, Presi
dent Nettleton's improved service on the
Kansas City, Memphis & Birmingham line
will prove of much benefit.
