The street car monopolistS insist
upon forcing people to pay the ille-
gal fare, ten cents. The company
authorizes its employees to use every
means Of petty annoyance that can
be devised by mean aud narrow
minded beings, whose ability is
only distinguished in that especial
line Of action toward their fellow
citizens. How contemplate are
the men who pursue that course!
Drivers continue to run their cars
off the track in order to force the
law-abiding citizen who paid five
cents fare to either pay more or to
get out and walk, and this course
of action is Endorsed and permitted
by the owners of the road. The
street cars are a convenience, not a
necessity. There are thousands OF
citizens who can walk with but lit
tie inconvenience to themselves, and
will do it rather than submit to the
highwayman's plea, "yOur money
or your life" Let the citizens Of
Memphis who have so well patron
lied this incubus of a monopoly re-
frain from riding in the cars and
conclude to walk rather than be
outraged and plundered. This will
touch the corporation to the quick,
where it is most sensitive, in the
pocket. TIE LEDGER has in Q
sense of duty to the public found
it necessary to take to task this lit
tie giant monopoly which curses
the community with ineficiency
and which has made itself detesta-
bic by excessive charges, and th'
LEDGER will continue to battle lol
the right on behalf of the public
against this monopoly. Let the
people form a determined resolu
ton not to patrcnize the street cal
company, and ere long the purse
proud and arrogant corporation
will change its insolent demeanol
and submit to the law as it exists
upon the statute book.

TURKEY IN 0

The London Times very truly
says that Russian disarmament is
promised in expectation Of SO many
things which may not easily be
fulfilled; )" and an exchange adds
that one Of these "many things"
is the disarmament Of Turkey,
which is the key to the peace
of Europe. This does not seem
possible. Centuries Of villainous
government and foul corruption
have done their work on the
Balkan peninsula, and domestic
revolt has become chronic. The
Sclayic population will not down,
aud Russian intrigue keeps it in
agitation, while the Turkish mob at
Constantinople and the Mohamme-
dams of the provinces will inaugu-
rate a fierce instruction on the
first attempt at disarmament, which
they know to be a suggestion Of the
hated Giaours. The Sultan is not
able to trust the garrison at Con.
stantinople, but has replaced it
with recruits from the distant
provinces, who may not have any
compunctions to indulge in "a
slaughter Of the mob led by the
Sofas. This change Of garrison
will intensity the bitterness Of the
Stamboul rabble rather than allay
it, SO that the logical sequence Of
Turkish disarmament will be
Turkish disintegration. Yet how
Turkey can maintain her army
much longer is a mystery. The
grand yizier announces that even
the supply of paper currency has
given out, and the Asiatic troops
have not been paid a plaster fol
years. No considerable war sup.
plies can be obtained from thu
African tributaries Of the Porte, Sc
that, if the Gar maintains tn,
status quo six months longer, i
appears very possible that thi
9 rotton and hideous Turkish domin
! alton in Europe will fall to piece
! Of its own weakness. After that
d partition is inevitable. The par
7 tition of the Turkish empire is tn
|. only possible solution Of the Easter.

has Infused new life into the road, which
is already built fourteen miles, to Maury

four miles. Pursuant to suggestions of
gentlemen who have Investigated the
matter, he authorized the issuance OF

that the same are TO be used for the

that from three to four thousand dollars
