Our City Council should be guar
ded in their future actions in reference
to the granting of different franchises
to corporations-if they are not, to
judge from the manner in which they
have started out, they will soon find
themselves without any to give. Take
for instance the granting of the fran
chise to the Alexandria Street railway
last week: this corporation has Sc
cured nearly every street in the Town;
and for what7 Nothing. The give
away in this case is too large-and
particularly does it appear all the
worse when it is known that the street
railroad company do not even bind
themselves to repair or work the streets
through which their track is to run,
and worse still the street railway com.
pany are only required to build mile
Of road-a special period of time is
set down for this-and their franchise
is for fifty years. If Alexandra is to
grow in the future, as everyone thinks,
and as everything just now points,
what will this franchise be worth in a
few years! We say, unhesitatingly,
a good large sum. Then why should
the said street railway company have
so very much gratuitonsly given them,
when they in return give virtually
nothing.

Judge burilngame, in bis remarks
preliminary 70 the sentence Of Clarence
J. foot, showed perfect comprehen-
sion OF the crime in al its bearings.
While evidently sympathnIns deeply
with the young offender and MS sor-
rowing friends, he did not hesitate 10
eharactsrize the crime, IN plain and
unvarnished terms, as "a cool, deliber-
ate, inexcusable robbery" He also
spoke strongly Of the cruel features of
the offense-the anxious suspense
in which young loot left his
friends, by Stimulating a violent
taking of. These terms would have
been harsh, had not justice required
them. Any softer Characterization Of
the offense would have been IN a
measure apologize or commendatory.
Then the judge touched upon the
features of the case which called for
leniency and his remarks grew almost
fatherly.
The sentence Will be generally ap-
proved. Anything less than years
imprsonmentwould have been farcical,
II not q virtual inducement to some
other young fellow to take a European
trip. But the years term, which may
be shortened by good conduct TO ten
months, strikes a due medium between
harshness and sentimental leniency.
