of its franchise and the profits of the
business would have justified. With an
ironclad charter. the best legal advice
that money could procure, generally
subservient Council and president
who scrupled at nothing TO carry
his points, the company has been able
practically to have it's own wny. The
result is we'll known. 1t has violated
its charter with impunity in many ways,
destroyed the driveways in many streets,
interfered with street improvements
and persistently refused to make exten-
sions and improvements which were de-
manded by the public and which the
company could we'll afford TO make.
That it has made some improvements is
not denied. but it has only consented to
do so tardily and reluctantly. and ev-
erybody knows the improvements it has
made were meager compared with what
it ought to have made. For these rea-
sons the Citizens company is entitled to
no consideration from the city beyond
its legal rights. 1t has no claim to any
thing beyond what is nominated in the
bond.
The public he's reason to congratulate
itself that for the first time in twenty
years the city authorities have at last
mustered up courage enough TO say to
the Citizens company, thus far shalt
thou go and no further. The Journal does
not undertake to say which is right
in the present contention concerning the
occupancy of new streets. the city or the
company, but it is at least an encourag-
ing sign to find the city authorities
ready, for once, to join issue with the
company and compel it to prove its
claim in court. This is a refreshing
change from the knucklingdo policy
pursued by the city during the
last twenty years. Even If the city
does not win in the present contention
it will, at least, have shown that it pos
sesses spirit enough TO assert its rights,
and the moral courage thus gained will
strengthen it for future contests. 1t is
to be hoped the present suit against the
Citizens company is the beginning of a
new era in the city's history in which,
instead of being the slave of corpora
tions enjoying municipal franchises, 1t
will become their master.

The cases of young girls being ruined
through desire to become actresses
are 30 numerous as to seem to call for
earnest warning against the folly and
danger of such attempts. In these days
of strolling companies of alleged actors
and opera singers, hardly any town is
safe from their invasion, and the num-
Der of young women who become "stage
struck" seems to be on the increase.
Within few days two very distressing
instances have fallen under the Jour-
nails notice. one in this city and one in a
neighboring town. in each of which
girl of good family was ruined and dis
graced by having run away from home
or from school to go on the stage. In
one case the unfortunate young woman
was found by her relatives in hospital
and in the other in Jail. Such cases are
occurring somewhere almost every day.
Young people of both sexes are no.
toriously insensible to good advice, but
it does seem as If every girl of little
intelligence and self-respect ought to
know that when she leaves home or
school against the will of her parents to
join a strolling company of actors or
singers. she takes step full of danger
and almost certain to end in disgrace.
Not more than one girl in a hundred
who becomes stage struck has any tai
ent for the stage, or could succeed in the
profession under the most favorable
circumstances. The other ninety nine
are moths. lured by dazzling light, to
their own destruction.
