THE PEOPLE PARTNERS IN EQUITY.

THE TIMES this morning prints interviews
with several leading citizens of Washington
on the bill of Representative Williams touch
ing the matter of street railway franchises.
The sentiment Of those seen on the subject
is unanimously commendatory, and it is be-
lieved that most citizens will agree with the
gentlemen who permit their names to be
used in this connection.
The stand taken by Representative Will
iams is a departure that will lead citizens Of
the District to believe that they have friends
in Congress who will voice their sentiments,
even If they have no votes with which to
repay such service.
The bill as it stands will get from street
railway franchises about all the concessions
at present possible to the people who make
such franchises valuable. On the other hand,
it very properly allows a reasonable margin
Of profit to the company for its investment
Street railway property is made valuable by
fits possession of the freedom of the streets.
The public grants this privilege and becomes,
thereby, partner in equity with the railway
company The sale of franchises and the per-
centage of gross receipts provided for by the
bill will represent their dividend upon the
public's investment
TIC working people will surely reap bene-
fits from this pear. They are the principal
patrons of the roads operating under these
franchises. and the amounts paid into the
District treasury by companies will greatly
relieve the burden of taxation.

STEALING DEMOCRATIC THUNDER.

The Republican party is stealing Demo-
cratic thunder and endeavoring to use it to
give tone to their party platforms. Republi-
cans of Ohio, Kansas, and California have
adopted the bimetalLc idea, and this is fol-
lowed by the startling information that a
prominent protection organ published in
Philadelphia is about to begin war on trusts.
There are now more than 200 trusts in act
i've operation. exerting baneful influence on
trade and commerce and bending human
labor to their selfish purposes. Nearly all
these capitalistic combines are the direct re-
suit of the Mckinley law. and as they are for
titled against demolition by that law it is
amusing to see protection organ endeavor-
ing to read them out of existence.
There is only one way to abolish trusts, if
they deserve abolishment, and that is by COM
petition. Under the fostering care of protec-
tion they are monarchs of all they survey. A
protective tariff prevents foreign competition,
and power of combination gives them control
of our markets. Remove protective duty on
all articles controlled by trusts and subject
founded on policy tina. permits them to rob
the public, they must go out of existence. II,
on the contrary, their prices and power is
based on legitimate business principles, for
eign competition will not injure them. There
fore. if Republicans are sincere in their desire
to abolish trusts, they must remove the cause
that brought them into existence.

AS THE CROWDS CONE OUT.

The evenings so far this week have been
enough TO make the stoutest heart quail and
the stiffest linen wither in despair. Through
them all large audiences have valiantly fol-
lowed the fortunes of Uncle" Findlay and
"Nephew' Bond and their friends and relatives
1t is good test of the popularity of the COM
pany The half-hour skt "0n an island and
the longer farce have both been well acted, and
are well deserving of the favor they have re-
ceived.
For the fifth week of the comedy company We are
promised Rohertsons three-act comedy drama,
Home" and curtain-raiser entitled"A Kiss
in the Dark" The former has more pretentions
as legitimate comedy than the farces We have
had for the last two or three weeks. l should
think that if the company has been well fitted to
parts it will give the members an opportunity TO
display their ability in different lines TO those
we have seen them in this year The fore piece
is bright and snappy The two plays enlist the
whole strength of the company.
Everything seems to indicate most successful
production of the new opera "Makren, or the
Legend of vuur Bril-" Philander johnson and
J. Emory Shaws first but not, it is to be hoped,
their last attempt, at Albaugh's next week The
opera and he bright young fellows who wrote
and composed it talked of it Sunday. They tell
me that the production will be made with the
greatest care and attention to detail.
The Summer garden of the Lyceum is still
open, and the young women in the walking
match are still footing up the miles. They will
make a great score in time. The place Is cool
these evenings.
