20 THE OMAHA DAIL! THE STATE AND RAILROADS. Bhall the Pormer Own and Control the Latter? THOUGHTFUL ARTICLE UPON THE SUBJECT. Over Specnlation and Bad Adminise tration the Oause of Many Roads Golng Into Bankruptcy Dur- ingthe Past Twenty Years. Fdward Everett Hale, in New York Independent: The maintenance of roads and their use have ad- justed themselves, in most of our towns and states, on a basis of pure com- munism, The town, or county: or state, owns the right of way and maintains the Foad at public charge; and every per eitizen or not, uses the road or street without thought of paying any toll for the advantage. So farhas the system gone, indeed, that, if the road is not well maintained, and the traveler is in- jured by a failure of the public to main- tain it, the traveler may recover dam- oges from the publie for the failure. The people are beginning to observe that a railroad is a road also, and to ask what rensons there are why the plan or principle which has been generally ap- proved in practice regarding other ~ voads should not be applied to them, In gases whire the right of way is alveady in the public, as where rails are put down on roadwnys already open to travely this question is pressed with the Mmoo urgency. Under the feudal system, which was wholly different from ours, the 1 nance of roads and the profit were, like everything else,in the hands of the strongest, Thus, o baron got possession of the passes of the Rhine and he taxed the commerce with all the tolls it would bear: or he built a bridge over a ri and took all the toll the travel and trafli would bear. But the feudal system broke down in America aboutten minutes after rty of colonists landed and tried cperiments of their new land. Foudalism meant, after all, simply this: 4T have better avmor than you Ican Kill you, when you cannot kil me;” and a series of laws and precedents had grown up, conferring what were called “feudal rights” on the people that had this armor, But the armor was good for nothing after gunpowder ecamo in, and the laws and precedents would not wash in salt water; so that, in about ten minutes after landing, the colonists of any region substituted for the rights of the lord of the manor the rights of everybody, and a set of communisms came in, under which we live now. Thus in place of education of the higher classes, comes education of everybody; in place of land titlesin the muniment chestof a castle, comes registration of titles at public charge, for everybody; in place of a fow thousand land owners. under whom hold some hundred thousand tenants, there is a state of frecholders, and @verybody -owns land who wants to. On the whole. the drift of centuries follows out this original plan, Thus, in place of separ- ate hospitals, which this brotherhood or that ostablishes, for this class or that, the state establishes its blind asylum, or its deaf and dumb asylum for all, Still with this drift toward communism in certain matters, there is the most de- termined individualism in other matters, This comes out curiously in Mr. Weed- on’s wonderful book, the ‘*Economic and Social History of New England.”. For New England, in this regard,is but a type of what the restof the country is and has been. Thus, a man finds a de- 0sit of bog ore, and he runs atonce to ‘:ln dear mother, the state, to tell her about it: ‘‘Dear state, you have been 80 generous about the schools, Dear state, you have given us all equal rights in the roads. Dear state, we are so glad that all of us have to serve in the train bands,” And the grumpy old mother says Yes: thatull these “\ingn involved universal necessities, and she had been glad to attend to them. *And, denr mamma, is not iron a uni- al necessity?” “The State (not quite awake)—Umph! mes: [ suppose so. Jubal (encouraged) — Well, dear oamy, [ have found ever so much iron ro State (indiffercrtly)—Haveyou? Woell, ou had better go and smelt it and orge it. Jubal—But, dear mamma, I thought perhaps you would like to go shares with e, or maybe do it for me. “Btate (wide awake nowrl do your work for you, you lazy dog? Do it your- gelf. Go about your business, And tho incident is exhausted, This ‘thing has happened, again and again, all down the history, and notimid people need be afraid thatit will not be often vepeated. But where is it that the dividing line comes in? Why is the state so cross to > Jubad with his iron when shedid take,for instance, the whole business of education? Why does the state make muskets, and make them, one may say, perfectly well, and why does the State refuse to make juck-knives und axes? Why does the state carry the letters at a uniform wrice,and at thesume time refuse to carry the telegrams? Why does the city of New York keep Broadway in condition for all travelers, und = the city of Brooklyn keep Fulton avenue in like condition, and then turn round and charge a toll on the bridge across the chunnel? Broadway, first and last, has cost the city of New York more than the suspension bridge cost. Why is there no toll-gate on Broadway, while there is a toll-gate on the bridee? Such are a fow out of a hundred Guestions; and our speeial question now is: Why Is a macadamized road made by the county or state and open free to each and all, and why must a railroad be made and owned by a private corporation? Why should not the state own the railroad? Into the history of the distinction I have no spuce to go. But it is very cur- fous. I have myself little doubt that we are dpproaching the turn of the tide, and-that the next century will see tho American railroads generally controlled by the public, as the Belgian railroads, for inetance, are controlled by the state today. Butitisnota question to be de- cided by an epigram oran analogy. It is a curious and intricate question, I might say, with more than two sides to it. The experts arenot unanimous, and, for the adjustment of details, much wis- dom and especially great common sense are necded, It is, however, before one begins to | discuss the question, interesting to ob- serve that, in many important instances, the nation has already done the thing proposed, and is now doing it. What is more, tho nation does it well, Ovel speculation and bad administration have in the last twenty years reduced on @any railways 10 bankruptey. Trade | position which he ought must be kept must run, or ug The dally lines the property becomes worse than worthless, n these cases, the nation, actin by a United States court steps in. The na- tion appoints “a receiver.” Observe that the poor fellow has not a cent of capital to work with, he daily earnings todo his daily work with, Yetin many instdnces of great impor- tance, ns our readers know, such men are now carrying on railroads more suc- than the owners carried them They make both ends meet, as the | owners could not. Now one _would not say that the su- premo and district courts of the United States were the best conceivable bureau of internal commerce. But they have had this thing to do, and they have done it. hody can say the thing can not be done; for it has baen done, and is done today. 1 have studied witha good deal of care the instances given in Mr. Weedon's book of the assumption by the state of what the Stuart Mill kind of people eall the duties of the individuals, and of its failure and its success, Probably a rough statement of the principie may be made thus: 1f the need be a need which vy one feels, almost equally,if not quite equally, the state does well to interfere. If, on the other hand, the need is only indirect] felt by some persons or classes, and much more closely felt by other p or classes, the classes most in nees do best to take care of themsel Thus, all the people need education; therefore, let the state educate: Al the peoplo nced roads; let the state maintain ronds. All the people need water; let the state provide water, All the people of cities need light at night; let the city li the streets. [The blind people sa od it.” But the city replies, and rightly: “You are too few, we cannot stop to count you.”] All the people need i of titles, therefore the state All the people need immunity from smallpox, therefore the state vaceinates. AlL the people need just tion, say from tramps thevefore the state provides policemen and courts, Now under this prin and his iron. Jubal st All thie people need iron.” But this is not true in the sense in which they all need water; and some people will® be veay much more profited by Jubal’s iron than others; perhaps he will himself, At bottom this is probably the reason why the state does not undertake his iron-work, or re- grets it when she does, Do all the people need muskets? Yes; if the state is to exist. She must pro- teet herself; therefore she makes mus- Kets, *But plo try Jubal people need jack- slumph. in the f water, or of muskets. And one er another, The word ja celvesyoun, I am not s Robert’s knife nor he with mine. state cannot interfere, therefore, one principle, Do not all the people need light at night in the streets? [ should say yes, and that where it is made mechanically the state should make it. Do not all people need bread as much as water? There comes in the jack-knife difficulty; one man wants o French loaf, and anoth- er brown bread. Now test this approach to a state- ment of principles, in our question about railvonds, It is a practical question of today., The Massachusetts railroads, for instance, are runm under charters which give to the legislature the r to purchase the roads for the stat paying therefor the full cost, with snc sum as, with the profits which shall have beén received,will be equal to 10 per per cent on said cost. The great Boston & Albany road has long since paid 10 cent to its stockholders. It is well un- derstood that its great difficulty inad- ministration is to keep down its profits to that rate, Now it would be wise for the state of Massachusetts to buy and own these railroads or any of theém? As o matter of principle, I amdisposed to think that to answer this question we must decide whether, on the whole, the use of the railroads has become a neces- sity almostequal to all—of all the people, Is it like the necessity for water;or, rather, like the necessity for iron’ question will determine itself practically, and not from statistics. So soon as the very great majority of the puu}»lu find that they are themselves all the time personally dependent on railway trans- portation, they will assert their right, which is now latent, and will manuge the road through the state organiza- tion. ‘It is cloar emough that the time is approaching rapidly, if it have not come in Massachusetts, = 1 do not mean merely that every man in Massachusetts rides on arailway once a year or once a month. I mean much more, that the practical daily life of a very large majority of the peoplo of Massachusetts is divectly interwoven with the railroad system—probably per- sonally and physically interwoven. Much more than half of the population of Mas- sachusetts belongs to families some of whose members travel on railroads daily —as they go and come on their daily business, A railway stoppage for a fortnight would almost mean famine in most Mas- sachusetts towns, so steady is the daily river of food by which God now answers our prayers for daily bread. Now, so soon as the tendency which has wrought out this state of things, comes so far that the railroad service is needed by one man about as much as by another, so soon will the government take the rail- roads. In my judgment it ought to. Buty whatever bo the julgment of any individuals, what is certain is, that it under " will, “It will make a very bad mess of it,”” says some grumpy cynic, who has no falth in the people, curses trial by jury, and hates universal suffrage, A mere put-up job it wiil be—all along. I do not see that, and I do not believe it. On the other hand, certain facts must be noted, Thus, 1.

Written for The Bee. Ttisan odd story from the life of & professional burglar in London, but itis true. My father was the victim of it and I witnessed a part of it myself, and although a mere lac at the time the oc- currence made such a deep impression on my mind that I can remember all the details connected with it as vividly asif it hud taken place yesterday. My father kept a jewelry shop some years agoat Nos, 4 and 5 Bridge court, which was located right opposite the houses of parliament, but has since becn torn down, and the Westminster station of the underground railway now oceupies the site, About this season of the year London is ggnerally enveloped in a heavy fog, an¥ on the occasion of the ng event of thisstory the fog was stionally dense so that it was im- le to ste an object a few yards in ront of you. My father, mother and T were all sit- ting in the shop when n man of most for- bidding countenance whose physiognomy ‘early indicated thathe lm{mu‘w-d to the criminal classes, entered and said that he dosived to speak to my father alone, but this privilege being denied him he commenced his story. ‘I belong,” said he, ‘*to an organized gang of burglavs, and I've made up my mind to have revenge on the captai because he has tuken my woman away from me. Now, at 5 o'clock to- ow afternoon while you are up- stairs taking your teaand your shop is locked up the captain, who has a key to a certain case of jewelry in your window h you alwi open,will unlock the case and make away with it. He will have a cab on the corner of the court,and all T want you to do for me in return for this information is to capture him, and when you have doneso then just hand him this note.” He added, that according to the rules of the gang, his life would not be worth :nny after what he had divulged, but ge is sweet, Raising his hat politely tomy mother he took his de- parture, remarking that we should never see his face again. Feeling some curiosity my father took the liberty of reading the note, which was not enclosed. It was very brief and ran ‘as follows: “This is Jack’s re- venge,” The eriminalinvestigation department at Scotland Yard was notified of the in- tended robbery, and about 8 o’clock in the afternoonof the next day a couple of policemen in ‘plain clothes visited the shop and secreted themselves so as to be in readiness for the captain when he put in an appearance, But by some strange fatality they both left the shop a few minutes before 5 o’clock. My fathel was very naturally quite anxious about the outcome of the affair and was keoping a sharp lookout and precisely as Big Ben, the enormous clock of the house of parlinment, struck 5, the rob- ber, appeared and took possession of the case of jewelry. As my father dis- covered that the police were not there he rushed after the scoundrel and caught him, but being a more powerfuily built man than my father he threw him on his back and, dropping the jewelry case and his hat, ran away as hard as he could, My father jumped up and tore down the street after the robber shouting *Stop thief I but_such is the apathy of the average Londoner, and to such an extent hus the habit of not interfering in anything that they may not thor- oughly understand been carried, that no one even attempted to stop the fleeing robber. After chasing himabout a mile a policeman seized him and he was marched off to the Westminster police court, At the trial my father handed the prisoner the -noté as requested by the traitorous burglar. The court room was filled to overflowing with a horde of the captain’s pals,who watched the progress of the trial with keen interest, and after the judge had passed sentence upon the prisoner, the latter turned toward a group of his followers and said: *You blokes, want to find Jack and square matters for me,” which they all very readily promised todo. This is an in- stance in which the old adage, ‘‘There is honor among thieves,” would hardly be applicable. 7.

An entirely new species of burglar has been run to earth in this eity, a blind one, Joseph Sailes, a 16-year-old inmate of the n\‘mnhnuso, is the curiosity in question, says the St. Louis Republic. He has terrible cataracts over both eyes and is compelled to find his way with the aid of a staff, but notwithstanding his affliction has' been found guilty of breaking into the Lohonda primary school, @& very isolated spot, with a hatchet, which he used to knock in a {;mmul of the door. Once inside the lind boy burglar took everything of value that he could find and carry off and that was very litule. He was de- tected by meansof the hatchet, which die was known toown and which he left behina to take the school hatel which was fih:l\"ml', A search of his room revealed the school hatchet, half a dozen new shirts and other wearing apparel. A big bunch of keys was also among the things captured, and an owner for the new shirts found ina neighboring storekeeper. He had found a key to fit the store, and did not have to b®k the door in this time with a hatchet. iles bears a bad reputa- tion, having been accessory to the burn- ing of San Rafael orphan asylum some yeurs ago, where he was being cared for, A clear case of arson was muads out against him in San Rafael, but his ten- der age saved him, Ll Dr. Birney cures catarrh, Bee Bldg. frdod e el A Fortune Sewedin Her Dress.

There is an old half effaded trail among the rocky canyons of the Arizona mountains between Engle creek and Rio Pricto, Ttis a lonely place, with noth- ing but cactus and the cliff grass for verdure, It is deathly still, says an his: torian in the San Francisco miner, There scems to be no life anywhere among those tumbled crags. But pass along the trail, upset a bowlder, throw a rock into a clump of the elift_grass, you will see something alive, Coiled in the dark places are great diamond-backed rattlesnukes, Disturb one of them and the whole dell will hum with the music of the eastanets, Inthe bed of the canyon, just above the wash-line, are some bones, polished by the drift of the river, bleached by the fierce sun for yoars, As you pass from the middle of the heap of ribs comes the warning rattle of one of the deadly deni- zens of the glen, The remains of a pack-saddle ave there and what might onee have been the pack. There is a fragment of blanket with U. S. on it Near by is the rusted steel of & Winches- ter rifle. Examine it and you will find that still sticking fast in the brecch is a green and moldy cartridge. That tells the story. Some time back when this glen, alive with rattiesnakes, was even lonclier and farther out of the world than it is now, some prospector, deserter or hunter came there driving his pack mule, Fifty yards nway from the whitening bones behind that boulder that juts from the cliff, some empty rifle shells ar scattered. There are more of them con - od by that patch of greenwood, and still others among the rocks on the hill side, Did the traveler with the army blan- ket know that he was traveling on the hidden trail that only the A paches knew —that puzziing round about path that started north and turned back south, the road by which the Syn Carlos Indians found their way unmolested to the Me ican Sierra Madre, though the soldiers were all around? The story is written in what isleft in the glen, ThéMndians saw the white man come around the bend of the hill farabove. The canyon was a perfect ‘place for am- bush. Riding in the stillness is drowsy work, The solitary prospector comes on with his rifle hanging carelessly bafore him. Down the trail he comes, past the grease wood patch he comes to the water-hole in the gully, His animals are hot and tived, » Heloosens the girth and leads them to the pool. Out of the quiet, crashing like a thun- der clap, comes the first shot. Hesprings to his horse and his rifle flies to his shoulder. He knows whathas happened, and knows that unless his horse can car- ry him back through a storm of bullets the way he came he has passed his last dx\f{ on eurth. 3ut the sudden shot has startled the horse. A jerk has freed the bridle, and in an instant he is galloping up the hill, the saddle turning under him, Then it is die game or die coward. The white man jerks the lever of his Winchester, The cartridge catches, atwig has perhaps got in among the the bearings. They see thathe cannot shoot—his pistol went off with the saddle, and now 1o is standizng unarmed among the jeer- ing Indians. There are no white man’s bones by the skeleten of the pack mule. gume or coward! It was no easy. quick death by abullet that the man who tied that pm‘f; had to meet. Quarter of a mile down the canyon that trail runs up on a knoll. Down there are bones. A skullis there with its face buried in the soil. Those little lumps made the spine of the man who was caught in the ambush, If you search close you will find the r‘c‘fil of the man’s frame stretched out ere, What was once a rope is there, Ttis knotted buck of the skull and the other end is fast in the bush, If you cared to scratch amrong those bol you would find some small strips of rawhide. He died with his hands fast behind him, But what is this lace-like line and delicate framework of slender bone that lies close to the skull? When the Apaches closed in on their victim he (o\qullun But how long can one man fight against a score?

If they simply meant to leave him there to starve and die under the hot skies they would have maimed his feet and may be hunds, There would be no need of tying him. A shout from some of tne Indians mukes him tey to look up. Some of them are coming toward him. They have a stick with a little noose at the end, and in the moese is one of the rat- tlesnakes of the rocks.
