THERE are seven members OF the Council
who have registered themselves against the
passage of an ordinance making certain de-
mands upon the street railway company
which even the president of the company said
would be acceptable to him. As yet no one
of these seven has indicated to the public the
reason actuating him in his remarkable vote.
We are left to infer therefore, that if the old
nance the city is to be left indefinitely with
precisely the kind and style of accommoda-
tons and conveniences against which there
is universal protest. If such an ordinance as
one acceptable to Colonel johnson cannot be
passed in the Council there is little hope of
the passage of one giving the right to a COM
peting company to come here and offer our
citizens the conveniences they should have,
and which the old company does not provide,
But we have hope that majority of the Coun-
Gil will see their present attitude in proper
light, and casting aside all other considerations
than those of good faith to the public. vote
for the charter of the Metropolitan company.
If there are legal rights and privileges in
volved, the courts are open to assert them;
but certainly, in view of the record of the
present company, which has not hesitated to
trample upon its alleged contract and treat
the city government and the people alike
with contumelious disdain, no right-minded
councilman can continue to obstruct the in
PRODUCTION Of new company, with its addi-
ton of capital and labor to the tax duplicate
and census of the city, and with its promise
of accommodations enjoyed by the citizens
of every other city in the country. What
the Council should do is to give the chance
to break the supposed monopoly. That done,
the balance will come easily and readily.

Western Journalists in the East.

G0tn new L Ofk Telegram.
Newspaper rumors here are that Melville
Stone, of Chicago, is being negotiated with
to take charge of the New York Express and
that Joseph Pulitzer will obtain the World
and unite it with his brothers paper, calling
the telescoped article the World-Journal,
Also, that Mr.. Halstead is coming to New
York to reside with his family. Thus the
New York press is becoming Western press.
The Times is run by Reed, of Wisconsin;
the Herald by Nordhoff, of Indiana, and
Ballard Smith, of Kentucky; the Tribune
by Reid, of Ohio; the Sun by Dana,
who came here from Chicago the Post by
Schurz, of Missouri, and White, of Illinois;
the Associated Press, by William Henry
Smith, late of Chicago. Yet it is singular
fact that month or two after these Western
corn-fed men come here they begin to talk
about the West as an inferior quantity, and
patronize it, like the New York street-car
horses, which are heard to whinpy to each
other as they come from Ohio up the Erie
ferry, five minutes after they land; 1--WE
metropoltans must hide the hair of our fet-
locks, as they might mistake us for those hor-
rible Western animals"

The political gossip here is that Mayor Car

for an increase of his majority over that of
two years ago by the promise of the unan-
imous nomination for Governor on the Dem
ocratic ticket at the next election. Should
he carry the State for Governor, it is under
stood Mayor Harrison will become a caudi-

Mr. Logan, whose term expires in March,
