MAYOR CALLAGHAN'S HIGH
HANDED ACTION,
He Refuses Access TO the PolI-lists
Ofthe Mayors Election.

Parties interested in the result of the
recent election, applied, through an
authority, for the privilege of inspecting
the poll lists. He was sent from one clerk
to another and finally told he must apply
to mayor Callaghan. Mayor Callaghan
fatty refused TO allow the poll lists to be
seen, or put at the service Of the parties
applying.
Mr.. Thad. Smith, in whose custody
copy of the poll lists Of the county is kept,
afforded every facility to the parties to
examine and make a copy OF the same.
The same law provides, that the mayor
stands in the same position as the County
Judge in regard to. the custody OF these
poll lists. 1t is not a secret record, but
intended for public inspection as any
other public record. The refusal of the
mayor to submit these poll lists to the in
spection of any person. directly interest
ed, or any citizen desiring 10 inspect
them, is high handed act, without prec
edent. and without defence in this coun-
try where the public records are always
open to the people. They do no not be-
long to Mr.. Callaghan; he has no right to
suppress them. If these poll lists are not
accessible what is the use OF having
them; how can any candidate ascertain
the correctness of his allegations to base
his action for contest IL this privilege is
denied.
If this kind of thing is to be tolerated it
is time the people rose to the magnitude
Of the deSpOtiSm now being practiced by
our would be dictator and sovereign,
Bryan Callaghan.
This refusal cOmpelS a resort to the
courts to force the mayor to disgOrge.,
N 1t looks very much as if there vas
something rotten in Denmark.

tant matter was delegated to him by the
committee, left yesterday for his home in

Senator Blackstone was tho author OF
the resolution which originated the COM
mittee. and has throughout shown great
interest in this subject, TO which he had
given much study and attention, and his
endeavors to stop the great strain upon the
States Treasury ls worthy of emulation.
The Senator has taken hold of this SUBJ
iect with the same vim which characters
lied hrs actions upon the floor Of the Sen
ate and hopes to be able to have the COM
mittee's bills enacted into laws.
Rumor has 1t that the Senator will be q
formidable candidate for the nomination
of Attorney General at the next Democratic
Convention.

WANT UNDERGROUND coNDUITs.
The Telephone People Unwilling to Use

Tne IeIepnOuS People UnWiiiinB 10 wv
Poles with Dangerous Wires.
The ordinance recently passed by the
City Council providing that all electrical
wires of the city shall be placed upon one
set of poles does not meet with the sanction
Of the telephone people.
The Southern Bell Telephone Company
will present for consideration before tho
Street Committee at its next meeting. the
will grant them the privilege of placing
their wires underground on the several
streets of this city, in conduits with man:
holes and other necessary approaches and
appliances under the supervision OF the
city authorities.
The ordinance also provides that the
company shall put the wires of the city un-
derground, such as police and fire-teie-
graph wires. without any charge, and at
least one conduit shall be set aside for the
use Of the city.
THE ORDINANCE A SUBSTITUTE.
In speaking of the proposed change Mr..
Charles +. McCluer, superintendent of the
company for this district said: We want
this ordinance passed in lieu Of the one
which requires us to place our harmless
rents conveyed by the electric-light and
street-car wires. Now. If these wires are
placed upon the same set Of poles there
will always be danger and trouble. because
the stronger-current wires will certainly
get across the weaker ones and burn out
instruments, possibly set some building
afre, and for all We know produce the
death of some one"
SHOULD DE TWO SETS OF POLES.
"a better way to avoid great expense
and danger to property and persons would
be to have two sets of poles. said the tele-
phone superintendent. placing the dan;
the harmless ones on the other. We are
fire-alarm. and other weak-current wires on
the poles with us. or we are willing to have
them underground with our wires, but we
think the risk is too great to place among
them the street-car and electric-light wires
with their terrific current"
THE COST TO PLACE WIRES UNDERGROUND.
"How much will it cost to place your
wires underground" the DISPATCH repre-
sentative asked.
1T will cost over 100000 to make an
underground system on the principal
streets of Richmond" was the reply. And
if the Bell Telephone Company are put TO
this great expense it will of course become
necessary TO raise our subscription prices
considerably. We believe it is better for
the city of Richmond to bear with the an
nOyance Of two sets of poles than for its
business citizens to be taxed so much more
heavily for the conveniences and benefits
derived from the invention
