MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

English Cities That Control Gas and
Water Works, &c.
n. p. Porter's London Letter.
English cities the size Of st. Louis, Bos-
ton, Baltimore, Buffalo. Cleveland and San
Francisco have municipaIized their mar
kets, gas. water. tramways. electric light
and art galleries. and in SO doing-in addi-
ton to reducing the cost to the community
have secured a municipal fund without
an increase in rates.
Birmingham in seventeen years made a
profit on its gas of $3.57O.OOO; the markets
Of Manchester hand over $4,000 annually
to the city treasury, while the markets of
Liverpool make a profit of $S2.5OO; the
surplus of nearly $35. 600 on the trans of
Liverpool goes toward the relief of the
paving rate; Glasgow in 1898 made profit
Of 100000 on water. s15O,000 on gas and
$4,000 on markets, while Bradford made a
profit on It's electric light of over $4,000.
Here we have a little tabulated state
ment of the profits IN 1893 on these munich
pal Undertakings:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1895-03-06

The Liverpool gas works are still owned by a
company.
NET loss after payment Of nearly 49,. 0G5 so for
public lamps, and Sal 12S so for sinking fund.-
etc. Since taking over the gas works in 1871, the
Bradford corporation has made an aggregate net
profit Of s., SIS. 16S19.
Net loss after setting aside ISL 0s9 SO for sink
ing fund. Under twenty four years of municipal
ownership surplus of 81 .047. 402 10 has accrued
In reference to this table, 1t is to be re-
membered that in all cases profits are reck-
oned only after provision has been made
for the payment Of interest on loans and
repayment of the principal.
In technical education, libraries and art
galleries these cities are doing good work.
as the following table shows:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1895-03-06

I think these little tables comprise
glimpse into English municipal work only
to be obtained by a long and weary search
of municipal reports. They are fresh and
up to date, the book containing these and
many kindred facts now being in course of
publication. Mr.. Dolman has performed a
useful task in giving us full particulars
about these cities, and one that will be ap-
preciated, not only by students of munich
pal institutions, but by the public, because
the facts touched on do not present dry
account of budgets, but a bright descrip-
ton of what Is being done to make life
more agreeable to the jewellers in cities I
have, of course, changed the English
pounds into dollars.

DOUGLASS FIRST SPEECH.
The Impression Made ON a Journals
Who Heard IT.

Mr.. Charles T. Congdon, In his REM
iniscences of Journalist" gives an inter-
esting description of the early oratorical
efforts Of the late Frederick Douglass Mr..
Congdon was a native Of New Bedford,
Mass, to which place Douglass fed from
the Aud family in Baltimore, and was
prominent in the anti-slavery agitation
both in Massachusetts, and New York. He
was editor of the old Boston Atlas. and for
long period was on the New York Tri-
bune staff under Horace Greeley. Mr..
Congdon says of Douglass:
1T was my good fortune to listen to the
earliest rhetorical efforts Of a man who
has since won wide fame as a public
speaker; and question whether any of his
vigor and a certain indescrlbable grace
those which Frederick Douglass made
while he was still day laborer on the
piers or was engaged in the still humber
occupation of whitewashing in New Bed
ferd, Mass. He became the most notable
of all the fugitive slaves who sought that
well-known asylum of the oppressed. We
had hundreds of these self-emancipated
people in the town; and a thrifty and we'll
behaved class they were: but none of them
won the celebrity of Mr.. Douglass. If he
to us it was very little of either; but he
worked hard to make up for his lack of
early culture, and he soon won the conf
dence and respect. not only of his neigh
bors, but of the anti-slavery men and wo-
men throughout the state.
TT was with some difficulty that he was
persuaded to address a meeting called to
consider the case of the fugitive. George
Latimer. which was then exciting the
whole commonwealth; but he had not
spoken five minutes before saw that he
was an uncommon man. AS he went on
warming with his topic. he not only ex-
hbited no hesitation, but poured forth
choice and unique words with a skill and
copiousness which left hardly anything to
be desired and when he described the poor
runaway, clinging to the base of Bunker
Hill monument, shrieking in vain for sue
cor to the God of liberty upon the free soil
of Massachusetts. he evoked from the au-
dience a response which was a perfect
storm Of applause. His was pure. natural
oratory, requiring no allowances, and as
free from turgidity and bad taste as If he
had been trained in the severe school of
Webster. or had studied to good purpose
the classical orations OF Edward Everett.
l could almost fancy that I heard some
well-booted Grecian arguing Of the Lacquer
of Troy"

the jury that Foster broke his finger, and
had threatened his life. On one occasion
Foster drew revolver on him and he had

Witness said that all the boys in the

And you think his reputation was

John A. Day, testified that he was pres
