Th(* ;ii;itatlon of tlio raihvaj' rate
bill in this country has been turneil to
account by I'oreiirn frovornments ^vhich
aim to acquire all the private railways
in their n'spective countries. It has
been said that the attitude of the
United States in the matter of .wvern-
ment rc'.uulatiou of railways caused
the enjperor of .Japan to take over thj
cutire system of private niilways iu
Japan. (Jermauy, it secuns, is also i.ient
■ upon a <-omph‘te nationaliz.-ition of rail-
waj’s. Says the semiotlicial court or-
: gan of Iverlin, the Continental Corre-
spoudent'e:
Germany, which h:is the most oxt»-ii.^ivo
system of railway.s of all Kiiropi-an coun-
I tries, hii.s docidcd at last iipoii inakiii;; an
end of the remnant of private railways.
r>y tho law of Dec. 7. lix.iri, thi- purchase
of the l^alatlnate raflw.iys, loO niiicH in
j li nt^th, by the kini^doni of Havaria has
■ bvcn provided for. There now I'l-mains
; only the railway from I^c.beck to liiichen,
I which is but .soveiity-livt! miles in len;;th
j and whose! acqid.sition for the sake of a
! unified system of railway man;u?ement i.s
' Very desirable. Rumors relative to the
; purchase of this line have been afloat on
the Geinian stock exchanges durinir the
pai^t year, but they have been mostly de
void of foundation.
Austria Is aiming' in the same direc
tion, and Italy Is nejj:otiatin;^ for I’ur-
Iher linos to coini)lete her system of
.state railways. Holland, Bel;rium,
Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden and
Nonvay already have practically com-
pleti‘d the uationalizatiou of niilways.
France offers an excei)tion to the gen
eral movement for nationalization of
all railways, and the French govern-
ment seems to be indifferent in this
matter, althouirh the representatives
of the nation would not seriously op
pose the purchase of the lines remain
ing in private control. American tour
ists note a gradual improvement in the
accommodatious for pas.sengers on the
railways of the continent. In tlie case
of Italy tJiere is still room for advance,
and it is to be hoped that the govern
ment experiment there in railway
management will bring the Italian sys-
fem up to the standard of the countries
beyond the Alps.
1 really an appi*al to the l)ig polleenien
; theory of jx-act*. and ••lighting and war
like blood” might object. To «iuote;
j Spain ever was and ever will bo tho
j most suitable nation on earth to arbitrate
Justly. At least we woulil be treatiiij^
I with ct)untries that speak the same lan-
j KUiiKc. countries that have lieri', in .Moth-
; er Spain, their niitural I'.omi*, in whose
laws and hlst»>i'\’ tliere is that Vviiii-h can
' help to a proper understaiuling of tho
rixhts of both nations in any struj?i;le,
, Not in vain did we carry ac'ross the sea
t our m.aiiiiers, our cui>tonis, our lawj and
i 4)ur mode of living, and for centuries past
i we have bei’U con<]Uering ancl civilizing
j Anieriran soil. And that is v.'hy we feel
intensely sore at heart to see two repub-
I lies of SpaiJsh origin, Guati.-mala and
Salvador, fe'ive full power to the United
I States to end their stru.«:;f;le and acttlo
j their diiriouities. In the last anaiy.-^is that
! act has a far greater importance than
I people misht suppose. It raeaii.s the rec-
I o;^nition Jjy those nations of tiie MonroJ
; doctrine ,'ind its ])rinciple, “America for
the Americans,” or, mori; exactly speak-
j inff, “America for tho North Americans.”
i ()ltserv('rs of the pres(>;it tren{l of
I Spanish thought have dete<-ted. as they
believt*, a movement t>> re-establish the
old inlluonce of the mother country in
South America. This protest by a
.Madrid journal of inlluenee clearly
points iu that direction.
(':ic;se For
Spain’s Pride Kullled.
Judging from the comments of the
Madrid Herald, tlie ultra Spanish i>ar-
ty is not happy over the recent peace
making venture of the United States iu
Squth America. “Spanish peoi>le.s tliat
have lighting and warlike blood iu
their veins” should only yield to a na
tion having “moral authority” to be
obeyed bj^ tlie combatants. This is

solve the problem of milking Ontario's
cows.
