ENGLISH OWNERSHIP.
THIS COUNTRY’S HIGHWAYS
CONTROLLED BY FOREIGNERS.
XIU! London Time* Makes Hie Interest-
in* Revelation that the Corporation*
IVlileh Dletated Our Political Policy
Are English.
Some months ago the English syn¬
dicate which hf^i charge of the invest¬
ments of the British in American rail-
ways sent a representative over here
to investigate our railway problem and
the conditions characterizing it. The
report of this commissioner has begun
to appear In instalments in tho London
Times and Its contents are exceedingly
interesting. We are favored, for the
first time, with an open admission that
the leading railways of this country,
excepting the Pennsylvania, are prac¬
tically English property. The Illinois
Central is almost wholly owned in
England. It is rather surprising to
find that the old Vanderbilt road, the
New York Central, has become one half
English property. The huge mortgage
recorded against it a year ago is held
entirely in England, while the shares
of us stock have been absorbed by
thre-s large English banking houses,
acting in the interest of numerous
small private purchasers in England.
'lliese facts are interesting. They
afford a clue to many of the mysteries
of our railway system. It is unreason-
ing to hate the English because they
have been permitted to acquire so large
a share of the country and to be actual¬
ly the owners of the highways of the
republic. The persons to blame are the
financiers who have mortgaged the
land to the foreigner. The financiers
and the stock jobbers are wholly to
blame, but It is useless to censure them.
Our treatment of the corporations has
been .exceptionally liberal in view of
the way the foreigner has been allowed
to no;-.- ess them. The ethics of the case
are easily understood. We should not
,'tolerate the ownership of the foreigner
in our highways. The highways of a
country belong to the people who dwell
within it. They do not belong to the
man three thousand miles away, no
matter what pretensions he may make,
We may now, perhaps,
why the railways of the country have
been so much inspired by a feeling of
hostility to the interests of the people.
These great corporations are in reality
foreign concerns. They exist primarily
for the purpose of extracting a profit
out of the American people in order
that some person in England may get
a dividend. It. naturally follows that
anything which makes for the advan-
tage of the people of this country,
where the operation of the railways
is concerned, is disadvantageous to the
English. The result is that the c0r -
porations follow the British policy.
The proof of this is to be found in the
policy pursued by our corporations in
matters political. We suppose it would
be impossible to name any wealthy cor-
poratmn in the land which does not
to-day favor a British pol cy in pref-
erence to an American policy. If, as
is likely, the othei corpoiations o tie
country are owned 111 England as large-
lv as the lailioads aie so owne , le
secret of corporationism is revealed.
The corporation is an instrument for
the exploitation of this country in the
interests of the foreigner.
SOME FASHION NOTES.
It is not fashionable for men who
own banks to wear overalls, but they
often, do lots o£ dirty work all the
same.
It is very fashionable for a store¬
offer his customers ‘ some¬
keeper to
thing just as good” out of which he
can make more profit.
It is quite stylish for pretending
Christian congregations to fire their
pastors if they venture to preach true
Christianity.
The very latest style of prosperity
(the McKinley brand) is ushered in
through the medium of free soup
houses and charity wood yards.
it is still stylish to export our food
products to Europe for the purpose of
making profit while many of our own
people are starving.
it is quite fashionable for the mem¬
bers of our legislatures to keep their
mouths shut about the right of labor
and to work them overtime for the
benefit of trusts.
The style of. prosperity enjoyed by
the working class remains unchanged.
There are no prospects of a change for
the better this year.
The* Telephone Monopoly.
Detroit, with a population exceeding
300,000, now has an independent tele¬
phone company,Whose central station
is serving 4,800 customers, and which
expects to accommodate 1,200 or .1,500
more within the next six months.
Not only do Detroit people use their
telephones quite as frequently as other
folks, but they appear to get quite as
good a quality of service. And yet the
rates which this independent organiza¬
tion demands are only firm or.e-third
to one-'sixth as great as those which
New Yorkers pay. For private horses
the price in Detroit is $25 a year, and
’or places of business only $40.—New
York Tribune.
The First Trolley Watch Doj.
Mr. J. W. Kneipschield, of Olympus,
Pa., Is a genius. A!) Jersey commuters
who own dogs and chickens will please
study his example. He, too, is a chick-
•as. •" Indeed, “fvX" c.eiyunoro, *r n tho tS«°'ch"r„ cni(K n
ijjj e f jg the bugbear of householders,
He used to save his chickens by station¬
ing his dog at the coop, until one night
thieves broke into his house. How to
use the dog to guard both house and
chicken coop was the question. He
solved It in a strictly up to date way.
He got the idea from a trolley,
He bought a lot of wire and stretched
it from his back door to the chicken
house. From this he suspended an iron
pulley with the dog’s collar. Now,when
the dog runs, he follows the trolley.
When a stranger approaches the house
the dog comes up on the run by his
own trolley. Should the chickens be
in danger of a raid, the dog trolleys
down to the coop. The dog trolley
works like a charm, and the dog seems
o enjoy the fun with as much satisfac¬
tion as his master, who sleeps peace¬
fully all night, blissfully indifferent to
night marauders as long as the trolley
watch dog is awake.—New York Jour-
nal.
