Monopoly in Rapid Transit-A Mon
strous Biunder.

strous Biunder.
The action of the Street and Water
Board yesterday upon the Rapid
Transit question is certainly the most
amazing of the extraordinary things
that queer, queer Board has DONE
BY passing the Consolidated Com
panyis ordinance alone, it has given
that company a practical monopoly
of the street transportation business
in this city. The routes laid out by
the Consolidated Company "
every feasible line in the city. The
Board may hereafter go through the
farce of passing ordinances in the in
terest of other companies. 1t may,
for instance, grant the application OF
the Rapid Transit Companies for the
elevated road from the Central ferry
and its feeders.
But such grants will be purely
iliusory. The Consolidated Company
having prior grants will have prior
tenure of the streets, and the other
companies cannot make use of them.
The latter grants are a mere p%retence,
a mere scheme to deceive the voters
who are sure to resent the surrender
of their interests to a monopoly.
So far as. the Street and Water
Board is concerned, this is only one
more in that long succession of blum
.iers-or crimes, if you choose-which
has marked its whole history, which
has given US a Republican Mayor and
a Republican President of the Board
of Aldermen.
But the public still have an inter
est in the issue. and they turn to
Acting Mayor Simpson for protection
As q member of the G~reenville citi
zens Association, Mr.. Simpson has
been an outspoken foe of monopol.
in street a service. Here is hi
chance to prove his courage and sin
certify. Here is his opportunity tt
put himself shoulder to shoulde
with Mayor Wanser as the defende
of the peoples rights. Let him veto
this monopoly with a sledge hamme
protest against the bestowal of ex.
elusive rights in the public property
and the public interests. Let hin
put his foot down and refuse to per
init the passage of any ordinace unit
fair and equal opportunity is afforde'
to all applicants. or until ample pos
sibility of competition is provided TO
in some sure way, and his name vii
go through the whole State as a tru
and worthy representative of the re
form spirit which has taken hold c
this county.

The Evening journal and Mr.. Hal

The Evening journal and Mr.. Hal
leron
The EUening Journal suppressed
every word of Pastor HalleroD's ar
raignment of the policy Grand Jury,
yesterday. 1t was not an overs light
or an accident, for even if a reporter
failed to get notes OF that able and
spirited sermon, the World printed a
full report of it yesterday morning.
No, the suppression was a deliber-
ate act of moral cowardice. Con-
scious of guilt, Cornelius H. Benson
could not bear to print the scathing
condemnation which Mr.. Halleron
poured upon his head. If he had any
consciousness of innocence, If he
could even whisper to his W soul
that one word of what Mr.. Halleron
said was untrue, he would have
eagerly shown his contempt for the
charges and his defiance Of proof by
printing the story verbatim in the
columns which he controls.
But the CALLED jade had to vince.
The culprit could not bear the merit
ed lash. He ran away and hid bis
dishonored head in a hole.
What a republican Mr.. Benson Is,
and what a Republican paper the
Journal is.

Davis makes the Journal his organ.
He announced through its columns
last Saturday his advocacy of Sheriff
Stanton for denomination. 1t looks
to us as if this was treacherously

everyone else that his support" is a
deadly hoodoo. We advise Mr.. Stan

him If he can. There is danger in the

The pl-,cs Of the Greyhound.

The sire OF Fullerton, when running Of
Haydock park, struck hurdle, under
meath which the hare had escaped, wiz
such force as to fall back apparently
dead, yet be afterward won the fnaj
course. Princess Dagmar, another w at
erloo cup winner, in running her frs,
course, saw the dog against which SIC
was contending drop dead at her side
The hare also died just inside a covert
into which it had escaped, yet the grey,
hound managed to win two more courses
"a feat which speaks more for the cour-
age of the animal than for the humanity
of her owner
The lightning speed at which the
courses are run and the quick turns Of
the hare on rough ground make severe
falls, and even broken limbs, not I'M
common. Yet dog so injured will Of
ten try to renew the chase, falling again,
yet making vain and painful efforts to
avoid defeat. The type Of courage so
exhibited, individual" as distinguished
from corporate" courage, is perhaps
shown in itsmost highly specialized form
in the greyhound among dogs. The i'm
pulse receives no aid from the associa-
ton of other animals Of the same kind

ner is a rival, not comrade.-London

The piano seems to have fallen into dis

can hand organs. They are not organs
at all, but loud toned upright piano
that are mounted on wheels and can b
trundled about easily.
They may be heard several block

resentative of that idea was simply

The ection of Colquitt meant more
for the strength of tariff reform than it
meant for Calquitt's popularity, and the

Politicians are like babies sugar
teat always quiets EN-.

Let me tell the younger politicians,
and remind The older ones, Of the, great
deadlock convention when Tom Watson
first got his first big advertisement and
did the one bright thing of his life. \ l
think any uupreiudiced man will agree
that all his subsequent utterances are the
veriest rot but this speech that | viii
copy was an inspiration.
,. The Colquitt convention of 1880 was
in a deadlock and ballotted for days
without result. The convention was
working under the two-thirds rule, and
although Colquitt was the overwhelming
choice of the delegates he f und it abso-
lutelT impossible to get the necessary
two-thirds.
Speech after speech was made and bal
lot after ballot was taken, all to no pur-
pose. at last Pat Walsh, who was one of
the stnbbornest of the Colquitt leaders,
made a speech in which he declared that
Colquitt was the choice of the people,
and the Colquitt men would stay until
Chistmas but what they would dominate
their man.
That was the signal for Watson's
speech, and lie gave utterance to the fol
lowing fiery words, which electrified the
convention, and ne bounded at once into
fame, but he did not carry his point
TO although Colquitt was not nominated,
he was recommended to the people
and was overwhelmingly excited.

POLITICAL NOTES.
,rnm HE A Ellnta Herald.

From the Atlanta Herald.
Ex-AIdermap Jim woodward has
shaved off the side-whiskers, which he
has worn for thirteen years.
THIS means lots to a politician. 1t
means an entire change Of programme
Alderman Woodward intends to either
quit politics forever, or he intends TO
take new start.
This would be true of any sort of whis-
kers. but it is doubly true of set of
"Hemphills."
There is more or less pride in side
whiskers and they are not sacrificed for
nothing.
Major Gus Bacon used to possess the
finest set Of WHISPERS in the United States
long. wavy brown fellows that were his
hearts delight.
They added great dignity to the speak
ers desk when the Macon man presided
over the Georgia house Of representatives
and they went through two or three
gubernatorial campaigns. But, some
how. they never got into the executive
mansion and one day they suddenly dis
appeared and the major came up as slick
as an onion.
Nobody knows just why the genial
major slaughtered the finest beard in the
<,,.,,,tr7 hI,t no Rid il all the same. and
Ills friends were thunderstruck.
Since that shave he has been out OF
politics. His hopes and his wh;skers
went together
It's really a very dangerous thing for
public man to make radical change
in his 'hirsute adornments. Talmadge
for instance hasn't had much luck since
he cut off his burnsides. Governor Nor
thern trimmed his beard several months
ago. but he is too sharp to take it all OFF.
