O'JR LETTER BOX.
Manrteraon nn State-Owned Railroads.
OMAHA. Sept. ?. To the Editor of The
Bee: My attention has been caljed to a
letter from one Walter Preen In The Bee,
criticising my statement as to the contrast
between railroads In this country and In
Eurcj-e.
I have no acquaintance with this corres
pondent and do not know his business, or
what opportunities he may have had to
compare by observation the different rail
roads of the world. He may or may not
ava traveled In foreign lands, but If he
has and has seen with no better discrimina
tion than he reads, his evidence Is of
little worth. I eommend to htm a more
thorough course In English before he at-
empts to criticise.
He says I make an Important gross mis
statement" In the "assertion that state
owned railways In Europe pay no taxes."
made no such statement, for In some, but
extremely few foreign lands, the govern
ment does pay local or municipal taxes and
all others It does not.
The sum mentioned by this correspondent
as having been paid Into the national treas
ury In Prussia does not go, to the extent
a single copper, to psy local or munl-
Ipal taxes. The amount thus paid shows
the profit In the operation of the .roads
nd this Is reached by reason of the high
rates charged and the small wages paid:
for while German rates are the lowest In
Europe, they are considerably higher than
urs and while our engineers are getting
$4 to $4.50 per hundred mile service, on an
average throughout the I'nlted States, in
Gerruany they get hut $2. DO. and all other
railroad expense, constructive and opera
tive. Is In about the same proportion. With
he highest wages paid anywhere, American
railways afford the best service and give
the lowest rates.
My comment upon foreign roads was that
they gave poor service for both passengers
and freight and that first class accommoda
tions did not equal ours In any respect and
were charged for at much higher rates.
The American jsho travels abroad Is In a
constant state of exasperation at the treat
ment of himself, the utter disregard for his
comfort, the lack of care for his baggage
nd the discourtesy of railroad attendants;
especially frqm the public officials of government-owned
railroads, the hands of
every one of them outstretched for the
'tip" or bribe that Is the additional charge
or every courtesy or comfort. Imagine
offering a gratuity to a railroad conductor
n this country for the privilege of getting
seat already paid for,' and another to
an American station master for seeing that
one's trunk is placed upon the train without
check or receipt. I have Just received a
letter from an Intelligent gentlemen,- well
known In Omaha and an extensive and ex
perienced traveller. In which he says:
L,ooklrg after baggage and finding de
finite seats In the railroad trains is mak-
ng me prematurely gray."
The balderdash In Mr. Breen'a communi
cation about the nonpayment of taxes needs
no comment other than to say that the
facts will be conclusively proven in ' the
causes now pending In the courts that the
railroads of Nebraska, which In fat and
lean years have always promptly paid their
taxes, when their property . has been as
sessed with even the least semblance of
fairness, are now assessed far, very far, be
yond their value aa compared with all other
taxable property In the state. They have
neither been concealers and coverera of tax
able property nor shirkers of payment, but
have poured Into municipal, county and
state treasuries sums that stagger belief,
and It Is their contribution, annually made.
far beyond their fair proportion, that haa
prevented bankruptcy and repudiation by
the state.
The point made In my former Interview,
which your correspondent In his haste to
rush into print seems to have overlooked, la
my suggestion that If the Vnlted Btatea
should own the railroads not a single dollar
would be paid, nor could It be paid, for
city, county and state purposes, and the en
tire burden of local government would fall
upon other property. I do not believe tha
taxpayers of Nebraska are ready for that.
The question of the means of acquiring
this railroad property, all of which Is pri
vately owned by hundreds of thousands of
stockholders all over the land, does not
seem to trouble the minds of thesa vision
aiies. I'nder the constitution of the t'nlted
States private property cannot be taken for
publlo use without full compensation. It
would cost from ,000,0n0,000 to 19,000,000,000
for the federal government to take over
tnese railroads. This vast sum Is many
times greater than the cost of a gigantic
war and five-fold the cost of the conflict be
tween Japan and Russia, which Is straining
the credit of both countries.
I presume our populist friends sea no
difficulty In the matter, for to their minds
tha setting, the engravers and presses to
work to lseue government promises to pay
is rather a desirable, method. But pay
day comes to nations as to individuals, and
this tremendous burden, cast upon the tax
payers of the country, will have no com
pensation in reduced rates, for tha no
torious fsct is that when the government
runs a business It Is ever at great cost.
The public printing office at Washington
Is a fair Instance, for It costs the govern
ment at least 30 rer cent more to do Its
printing than It could be done by private
parties under contract.
Neither does the prospect of such an
enormous Increase of holders of civil
political place disturb the populist equani
mity, nor does he trouble his alleged mind
over the question of the constitutional
right of the federal government to con
duct railroads in sovereign states, which
Is at least debatable and calculated to
worry a legal mind.
There can be no recovery against tha
I'nlted Etutea for death, personal Injury
to employes or passengers, killing or maim
ing of stock, setting out of d -structlve
fires, loss of baggage or freight, damage
to land or crops from overflow caused by
embankments and bridges and the numer
ous other causes for which demands are
made, upon railroads every hour and tha
payment of which, either by adjustment
with clalmists or as tha result of suits,
entails almost the largest single outlay
they are compelled to meet and xuna Into
maay millions of money annually. No
court would have Jurisdiction of such
suits against tha United States, and those
who suffer would have to appeal to eon
gresa for a specinc appropriation, for no
money can be drawn from tha treasury
without It. and congress has' persistently
refused to appropriate money for claims of
similar character. I recall with soma
chagrin the fact that when a member of
tha senate committee on military affairs I
urged with sll my powar payment, by way
of appropriation, to the heirs of on
cltlsen killed and to another injured while
walking upon the highway, where they had
the right U ba, by over-ahota from regular
soldiers engaged In target practice Con
gress would not establish the precedent
that lb govsrnment waa liable for Ux
negltgenew of its servants. And ao on
might go on at wearisome length t show
th troubleaom results that would com
with government ownership.
That Tsndora's box of ills will never b
opened and It will be buried out of sight
with the greenback cri, the free ailvar
vagary and the other whimsies of erratlo

OMAHA. Sept. 30 -To the Editor of The
Bee: In The Bee of last Sunday appeared
an Item purporting to be based upon state
ments of the city attorney ofthH city
conveying the Impression that B. K.
Thomas and E. C. Page, who ar working
upon a compilation of th ordlnahcea of thl
city, had secured a contract for the pub
lication of an extravagant number of the
same. While the city attorney felt that
th number to be published as at first sug
gested was unnecessarily large and the
same has since on his suggestion been re
duced, yet he did not, nor did he Intend to,
attribute any fault In that matter to either
Mr. Thomas or Mr. Page or. Indeed, to
anyone In particular. Mr. Thomas has a
contract to do the work of compilation
simply, and his compensation Is In no wise
dependant upon the number of such bok
published; while Mr. Page has no other
relation to the matter than that of having
been employed by Mr. Thomas to aaaist
the latter In the work of compilation.

MISSISSIPPI IS LAUNCHED
Skip with Lightest Draft f Any
Being; Ballt Takes t
Water.
PHILADELPHIA. 8ept. 80.-In the pres.
ence of a distinguished party of guests,
the battleship Mississippi was launched
today at 2:33 p. m. at the yards Of th
William Cramp Ship & Engine Building
company. The vessel's sponsor, was Miss
Mabel Clar Money, daughter of United
States Senator Money. Owing to the pre
valence of yellow fever In the south.
Governor J. K. Vardaman of Mississippi
and his staff were unable to attend the
launching. The governor was represented
by Senntot Money. The guests included
Admiral Dewey, Lieutenant Commander
Wood, Rear Admiral Rogers, Mayor
Weaver of this city, naval officers stationed
here and In Washington and many promi
nent civilians. '
The christening party consisted of Sena
tor and Mrs. Money, Miss Money and her
fiance, Dr. William Whitney Kitchen. They
were escorted to the yard by General
George B. Williams, Cramp's Washington
representative, who accompanied them to
this city. Immediately after the launch
ing, luncheon was served in the Mold loft.
Special Interest Is attached to the battlo
ship Mississippi since It will carry the
smallest displacement of any United States
battleship now being built with the excep
tion of the Idaho, a sister ship.
The displacement of these two vessel Is
13,000 tons each, while all the later battle
ships, including the Vermont, Kansas and
Minnesota, now building In other shipyards,
have a displacement of 16,000 tons.
The Mississippi will be equal to many bat
tleships of 16.0U0 tons displacement and no
vessel of the same displacement In any
navy of the nations carrlea equally heavy
batteries. The main batteries will consist
of four 12-lnch ' breech-loading rifles,
mounted In two turrets; eight 8-Inch breech
loading rifles, in four turrets; eight 7-lnch
breech-loaders, behind casement armor, and
21-inch submerged torpedo tubes; also three
secondary batterlea twelve 8-lnch, six
three-pounders, two one-pounder auto
matics, two one-pounder rapid-fire guns.
two 8-Inch field pieces, two machine guns
and six automatics.
The vessel will be STB feet In length on the
water line and the length over all will be
383 feet, with extreme beam of seventy
seven feet. The speed requirement Is sev
enteen knots. The ship will be equipped
with triple expansion twin screws of 10,000
Indicated horse power, fitted with eight
Babcock A Wilcox water boilers, set In
watertight compartments. Except for the
windlass and steerage fear, practically the
other machinery will be run by electricity.
Wireless telegraphy apparatus will be In
stalled and. In fact, the Mississippi will b
so equipped as to equal In every way the
highest standard of requirement for modern
warships. There will be commodious quar
ters provided for the crew of 760 officers
and men, with special attention paid to

BERLIN, Sept. 30, The Qerman govern
ment's definite proposals to the United
Slates for a commercial treaty are about
ready to forward to Washington where
they have been prepared because of a re
quest of the Stale department, which In
quired In June, precisely what it was that
Germany wanted if the existing arrange
ment was Unsatisfactory. Chancellor Von
Buelow asked th German chamber of
commerce and the organization of th
Individuals trades to Inform th govern
ment of their Ideas of th lines a new
convention should take. These reports.
some of which have been cabled, form a
mass of material on which tha second
division of the Foreign office, that devoted
to trade policies and consular admin
istration has been working.
Dr. Von, Koernor, director of the depart
ment, who more than any one els carried
through the difficult Russian and Austrian
treaties, has tha American affair In hand.
Americans doing business in Germany, who
have built up the Import trade in Ameri
can manufactures, are continually asked
by Germans what they think of th
prospects of a reciprocity treaty and they
usually reply that th outlook is doubtful.
but they have been considerably cheered
by th recent action of the New York and
other American chambers of commerce in
favor of a trade treaty.

Do you know anything about the work
of the assayer? Dos It seem mysterl .us
to you that a man can take the most com
plex piece of ore that you can bring bi.n
and In a ahort time tell you Just how much
lead, silver, copper or gold it may contain?
Not only this, he will be Just as accural
as to the baser constituents the lime, the
silica, the barium. He can tell you whether
It Is an oxide, a sulphide or a carbon.ite.
If he has had long experience he ran tell
you very near the locality from which th
or came.
After he haa told you what you have In
the ore, he can also tell you the best way ;
to get It but, and this may mean a great ;
saving to you. When all these things ar )
known you can operate your mine with
economy.
Th aasayer looks at your piece of rock
and he may ask you If this ts a fair sam
ple of what you have In your ledge of ore.
Perhapa you aay you don't know. Then,
If you will b advised, you will go back
to your mine and go over the whol of
the exposed surface of your outcroppings.
or the face of your drifts, or tunnels, or
shafts, as the case may be, and by gather
ing a large number of pieces taken Indis
criminately you will get a fair sample.
What the Assayer Does.
The assayer will look at these pieces.
If they look weather-beaten, or of a red
rust color from Iron, he probably will de
cide that the samples are oxide. If the
samples are black, or show bronie yellow
crystals, or give up white fumes on heat
ing, he will say they are sulphide. Then
he will crush the ore to finest powder and
mix with It what he calls fluxes, such as
soda, lime or silica, as the case may re
quire. These, with the ore, cause it to
melt much more easily.
Now, the most important thing he puts
In, if he is testing for gold, is something
that will gather vp the minute particles ct
gold or sliver and bring them together.
This, the assayer has discovered to be
litharge, one of the oxides of lead. This
acts in melted ore much as the eggs a
housekeeper uses with which she settles her
coffee. He puts with the litharge some
form of carbon, flour, argol and charcoal.
This reduces litharge to metallic lead, and
In this state It acts as the net, so to speak.
that gathers the precious gold. If the ore
ts a sulphide, there need not be ao much
charcoal or flour, or argol used; and there
lies one difference In the two clauses of ore.
When he has made this mixture to' his
satisfaction, he puts it in a crucible and
covers It with salt and sometimes with
borax. This salt keeps a more even tem
perature In the charge and prevents spat
tering. He beats the mixture he has made
to a high temperature, in a gasoline muffle
furnace, or coke-stove, for twenty minutes.
The melted ore Is poured out and cooled
and the lead, with Its gold and silver, Is
found settled to the bottom, In what la
ailed a button.
The next operation is to separate tha lead
from th gold and silver. The button is put
In a cupel, a little cup made out of bone
ashes. Now put this In the furnace and
you will sea the cupel getting yellow while
th lead disappears. The heat, with air.
makes, the lead Into an oxide again, and
th bone-ash absorbs It as fast aa It la
formed. Not so with the gold and silver.
They will be left in a little globule, after
th lead la all gone.
eparatla Gold from llver.
Now the assayer must be careful, for this
little globule Is easy to lose. But with long
experence, he picks It up and puts it In a
little vessel called a cassarole. To sepa
rate the gold from the sliver the cassarole
is filled with pure nitric acid. This will
dissolve silver but not gold. When the
silver la dissolved the gold Is collected and
weighed. If you have weighed the little
globule before you put It Into the acid, as
you should have done, you take the weight
of gold from the weight of the globule and
the difference will be the weight of tha
silver.
Now you know th weight of gold and
silver, and you should know how much or
It took to yield what you have got. Did
you weigh your ore when ' you had it
crushed? The assayer does. Then he can
figure In this wise: If a half pound of or
gave me 1 cent In gold, and 1 half-cent
In silver; a ton of ore, which is the usual
weight of ore considered, will giv me 840
In gold and S20 In silver.
This is the great question that the miner
wants answered, and, telling it roughly,
the assayer goes about it aa herein described.
