The Cab war.

When are we to have the cheap cabs
promised us by the American District Tele-
graph Company? is a question frequently
against our present outrageous hack system.
That there is field for cheap cabs there
san be no question, and, that fact granted,
there appears to be no good reason for any
extended delay in the appearance of cheap
cabs. While the Hack Owners Association
are quarrelling with the privileged"
owners, and they are both crying for COM
missioners and inspectors, the District Tele-
graph Company should cut the ground from
under their feet and solve the entire prob
lem by putting on our pavements SUM-
cient number of light, cheap running cabs
TO do the work in hand. 1t only requires
the advent of the Telegraph" cabs to prove
how great is the demand for such vehicles,
and with them will come corresponding re-
duction in the rates for the hacks now in use.
Since the first announcement by the Dis
trict Telegraph officials that they contem-
plated increasing their business and enlnrg-
ing the scope of their usefulness to the pub
lie by inaugurating cheap cabs we have
heard nothing more from them. Can
it be possible that the privileged"
owners, with their proposed cab COM
missioners, have frightened the COM
pany? Are all their promises to be
broken? We trust not for the need is
80 great, the opening for profitable branch
Of business SO striking, that it would be diff
cult to understand how any company already
enjoying the confidence of the community
.ould fail to embrace the opportunity and
thereby strengthen itself as public servant.
Cheap cabs we want and cheap cabs we will
have. The agitation now fairly begun must
result in victory over the monstrous mo-
nopoly now holding such determined grip
on the hack business.
But delays are dangerous, and the cheap
cab question is no exception to the rule. So
long as the owners Of hacks see that they are
not to be confronted by practical opposition
they will laugh in their sleeves and go on rob
bing their patrons. 1t will be useless to look
to them for reform. They are too blind to
their own interests to see the benefits that
would accrue to themselves by any such
change. The owners and drivers will con-
hnue to charge exorbitant rates for poorly
performed service just as long as they hold
exclusive control of the business. Opposi-
ion-practical, determined opposition-is
what will bring them to their senses and
give the desired relief to the public. Theory
and talking will achieve nothing; therefore it
is necessary that the officers of the American
District Telegraph should bring their theory
into practice. If they abandon the project
Of cheap cabs, after having placed themselves
on record as about to carry it into effect, the
public will no longer have faith in any
promises thew make
