POOR RAILROADS IN ITALY.
Eaeeeahlo Servleo Utso to Adhoroaea
to Obaoleto Mot koala.
In commenting upon a recent acci
dent on an Italian railway the state
ment waa made to the effect that the
transKrtatlon waa the worst In the
world. A patriotic Italian has sent a
communication making a general de
nial. The communication, therefore.
may be replied to In a general way.
The overcrowding of care, their defi
ance of acbedule time and the Insecur
ity of baggage are facta known to ev
en foreigner traveling In Italy, al
though the Itallana themselves may
have become hardened to them.
Why thing are ao may be explained
by two causea : Lack of operative cap.
ltal and a alavlsh adherence to archaic
methoda of management The railways
were built when Italy was In auch

sult being that there la practically no
