The discussions which THE TINES has made
of an electric plant for the city have shown
its views very plainly upon this point; to
wit, that The TINES thinks the city should
be as free as possible from going into any
business whatever the product of which can be
supplied to her by private enterprise. There
are two controlling reasons for this.
lst. She can certainly secure whatever she
wants from rival and competing private con-
Germs much cheaper than she can produce it
from her own plants: and,
I'd. Manufacture of any product whatever
by the city is controlled by politics. and.
therefore. the inevitable tendency is to con-
vert the place of manufacture into nest Of
political rottenness and corruption.
Mr.. William Nelson Black. distinguished
engineer. writing TO the Engineering Maya
zine of New York for April has some very
striking remarks upon this topic. Speaking
of the bridge between New York and Brook
Ign, he says:
Look at the great suspension bridge If
we ride across it We shall have to pay the
highest fare charged for the distance
anywhere in the Metropolitan district.

.,ro,. thu. fraud was deliberately prac-
ticed in the late primary election. ono
candidate or set OF candidates was deliDer-
s,elv cheated for the benefit of another
candidate or set of candidates. This CON-
nunitv has been unsuspicious. and ii has been
slow and unwilling to acknowledge this fact.
but further hesitation would be idle. WICKED
man have dared 10 lay their implous hands
upon the very altar of our institutions. Our
elections have been tempered with. The
sources of honest and pure government have
been polluted. Confidence is shocked and
the public. sick and disguised. is almost ready
10 turn its back upon the system of primary
elections.
We are Of those who share the disgust, but
we urge caution before any rash step is taken.
The primary fairly conducted Is the safest
and surest method Of arriving at the popular
will. Let us. therefore. be long suffering ana
patient before we abandon a bridge that mas
carried us safely over many marshy places.
But this fact should be proclaimed ana ring
into the ears of every vote thief IN this city,
I'VE will have no more cheating in elections
Let that man secure the office who can fairiy
secure the greatest number of votes But let
the thief who would cheat the choice OF the
people out of his deserved election know that
all the blasts of indignant scorn that can
emanate from the wrath of an outraged pub
lie will follow. and stamp him with the brand
of thief wherever he goes.
Fraud in elections or honesty in elections
depends upon the sentiment and feeling OF
the voters in elections. If popular sentiment
is quiet and unprotesting when fraud is prac-
ticed in elections, fraud will certainly occur.
But if the people, when cheated, rise in their
wrath and make their scorn and fury known.
the degraded thief who would steal the hon
est voters suffrage sinks to the cover Of his
rotten shelter to sustain his detestable life as
best he may, hidden from the sight of honest
men.
This community is fast settling down to
one opinion as to the source from which the
late thieving emanated. 1t is long-suAering
community, but there are limits TO It's Tor
bearance, and word to the wise should be
sufficient. Meanwhile our party authorities
MUST do one thing. They MUST change every
election officer at the Third precinct Of Jefer-
son ward Innocent or guilty, they MUST 60
The public has lost all confidence in them.
and there can never be another election held
at that precinct under the control of the pres
ent officers in the fairness of which the pub
lie will believe. Confidence in the fairness of
an election is so important that the public
must be satifed to produce it; and as liars are
not believed, even when they tell the truth,
so after our recent experiences confidence
cannot be restored in the fairness of any cleo
ton at the Third precinct of Jefferson ward
until new officers are there appointed.

The seismic disturbances on the Pacific
coast will recall to the minds of the people
residing on the Southern Atlantic seaboard
the earthquakes which reached their greatest
violence in the partial ruin of Charleston.
There is this difference, however. The earth
quake is very common phenomenon on the
Pacific coast, while the citizens of that part
of the country have not gotten used to them
not even the inhabitants of Central America
get accustomed To these tremblings of the
earth-nevertheless it is impossible for them
to be as much alarmed as the people of the
East are when these disturbances occur in
this section of the United States. 1t was said
by prominent scientist at the time of the
Charleston earthquake that the whole At
lantic coast line was sinking and the noise
and shakings were due to the settling of the
earths crust. 1t is now in order for the same
scientist to explain the earthquakes III Cali
fornia on the same theory. When the Pa
cific crust and the Atlantic coast have both
settled down it will be entirely proper for the
middle portion of the United States to fol-
low their example.
