A MOVE has been made in Washington
to compel electric street railroads to
run their cars by an underground sys-
tenn of wires, and to prohibit the trolley
overhead system altogether. 1t tran
spires in the discussion that the only
objection to the underground system
comes from the rich Westinghouse mo-
nopoly. which now controls the arms-
ture patents which are adapted to the
trolley system. It ie claimed that the
practicsbility OF the underground sys-
tenn has been satisfactorily demonstrated
and that there are cars now worked by
that system in successful operation in
one of the suburbs OF Washington. But
the proof that the underground system
is practicable is shown by the fact that
in the city of Buds-Pesth the cars are
all run by power received from an
underground system of wires, and
that the trolley is altogether un.
known there. The electric car
system of that city is extensive and is
operated with complete success. The
tro LEY system is blemish to the streets
of any city, and if there is a practicable
underground system to take it's place
there ought to be some means OF forcing
it's introduction in all cities. Wash
ington is under the complete control of
congress, and if congress enforces the
change in that city. and it proves salts
factory, that will sound the knell of the
overhead wires in all cities where they
are used. The convenience and looks OF
the streets of our cities should not be
sacrlnced aI Lne UeHo5u auu IVf UnU PrOnV
of great corporation like the Westing-
house company. Let them improve
their patents so that they will take the
electric power as well from below as
above ground. 1t will cost them money
to make the change, but they can we'll
afford it.

THE PRRRs MUST GO.

Mr.. Gladstone left an important heri.
tage to his party when he declared that
the existence of q house of lords COM
posed of a class which is not in touch
with the people, and whose members
hold their seats by hereditary tenure,
cannot be tolerated when it becomes a
mere legislative body to obey the behest
of its Tory leader. England is becoming
more and more democratic, and the ex-
tension of suffrage has now reached q
point that when the people are moved
by any question their sentiments are
Immediately reflected in the house OF
com mons. This coincidence of senti-
ment will become more and more
marked Re the right of suffrage becomes
more and more co-extensive with all
classes of the people. 1t is therefore
utterly impossible that a branch of the
Legislature can long continue which is
not representative Of the popular will.
Ever since the corn laws were passed.
as result of frequent clash
ings between the two houses the
constitution of Great Britain has under
gone gradual change in respect to the
power of the lords to obstruct and defeat
popular legislation. Walpole and Pitt
had before on several occasions brought
the house of lords to terms by the threat
OF creating new peers in order TO pass
measures in which the division against
them was small, but we have now
reached time whom the people will
insist upon the fundamental principle OF
representative power in its entirety in
legislative departments that are pre-.
sumed to reflect the will of the nation.
One class will not be permitted to domi.
nate over all classes by hereditary right,

A NEWLY organized company has ap-
piled to the council for franchise to lay
a telephone plant in the streets of our
city. 1t proposes to lay the wires under
ground, and if granted the franchise, to
supply the Offices of the city officials and
public schools with free telephones. If
the applicants for this franchise intend
to honestly carry it out and are not seek
ing to get it 80 as to be bought off by the
old company, their proposition should
be fsvorably entertained. The council,
however, should guard the rights of the
people with strict conditions. The COM
psny should be made to give some satis-
factory guarantee that it will carry out
its franchise in good faith. The offer to
subject its rates to formulation every
year by the council is good one. We
presume it is the infection of the COM
psny to avail itself of some of the ex-
pired patents of the monopoly and to
use some of the new Improvements in
telephones which do not infringe upon
any OF the unexpired patents OF the old
corporation. By honest competition the
people ought to get their telephoning
done at infinitely cheaper rates than
they are now subjected to.

THE passage of an amendment to the
queens speech through the house Of
commons by small vote to abolish the
house of lords is significant of the storm
that is brewing among the British people
against the hereditary branch of the
English legislature. If the upper house
is made elective, number of peers will
be returned to that chamber, for there
are very able and intellectual men
amongst them; but the great majority
will be supplanted by amaterial taken
from the leading men OF the country not
belonging to the nobility. Literature
and the arts, manufactures and COM
meroe will be we'll represented in the
new order of things; whilst the lord
lings who are only famous for their
vices and mental mediocrity will sink
into their natural Obscurity.

The expectation of large cargo of
valuable California brandy and dry
wines to Germany from San Francisco
shows the possibilities of our vintages
to secure unlimited and profitable mar
kets. The hospital department OF the
German army has adopted California
brandy as the purest and best that can
be used by the patients. Strange to
say, the American medical department
of the army continues to use French
brandies and wines in the hospitals.
Our high toned army medicos think
that California brandies. are not good
enough for our sick soldiers, 30 they get
the French sophisticstions.

TIE Citizens league is making ar
rangements to hold a general meeting
which will be addressed by Mr. Joseph
Medill and other gentlemen who have
made the reforms in municipalities a
study. There are q number of gentle.
men here just now who have devoted @
great deal of thought to the interesting
question of city government. This sub.
ject has been one of the gravest that has
confronted the economists and ptates-
men of our time. In the last half CEN
tury cities, both here and in Europe,
have grown to such formidable proper
tions, that the simple codes of municipal
government that were found sufficient
in former times are no longer effective
either as checks to the rapacity of un-
principled oficials or equal to ensuring
the people in the protection of their
rights. Our present city charter 10 de-
iective in many cardinal respects, and
if we expect to have it amended by the

Mr.. Gladstone's great age and advancing
in6rmities did not justify his cham
pionship OF this issue before he went
out of Office, or be would have brought
it to q test himself The Irish home
rule bill was thrown out Of the house Of
lords after the commons and the people
had thoroughly discussed and approved
it. Here was, of course, the
opportunity for . Liberal pre- mieT
to bring the great issue to
practical test. But instead of entering
upon the great contest himself, Mr..
Gladstone, conscious Of his physical
decline, left it to his successors. The
passage of the Labouchere amendment
to the queens speech is not the mode
in which the present cabinet will meet
the issue. But the unexpected passage
of that amendment will make the ques-
tion so prominent and give it such wide
discussion that it will prove the living
isaue ct future parliamentary elections.
Whenever the people of Great Britain
have by a formidable vote eignided
their determination to change the con-
stitution of the house OF lords, it will be
changed. The peers have &c power IL
themselves TO successfully resist the
march OF democrotic principles, and
they can only extend the tenure OF their
legislative existence. which they know
is an anachronism, by bending on all
occasions to the will OF the people 90
determined by the representative cham
Der. 1t is perfectly feasible for any
premier to control the house of lords at
any time by creating as many new peers
as are necessary to pass 8 constitutional
measure that will entirely alter the
manner in which the members of the
upper chamber shall be selected. And
this is the key to the situation.
