Pub,ic UtIlltles.

our army navy auu pOl1C6 sorV4C6,
railways, telegraph, telephone lines,
gas, water, electric light, street car
and rapid transit systems, are OK
smples of public utilities. The list
might be extended to a great length,
including parks, libraries, canals,
Wharyes, docks, courts of law, ETC., but
every intelligent person knows the diff
ference between public and private
service, although but few realize the
great Importance of the distinction.
Public utilities are mostly Of COM
parltively recent origin, and are the
product of modern civilization, and of
it's discoveries and inventions. Un.
civilized countries do not have them
to any extent or perfection, nor were
many of them known anywhere until
within the last fifty years, and some
only for even a much briefer period.
It is this neWness which explains
why so maryland the most impor-
tant-of these public functions Of
state or municipality are yet admins
tered by private parties and cOrpor-
stions. Public service being a proper
function Of government requires the ex-
ercise of governmental powers and the
exercise of such power by corporations
Ia in effect the delegation of the SOW
erelgnty of all the people to small
and q very dangerous class of the
people. This class is not responsible
TO the people for their use or misuse of
the power of sovereignty. To sustain
and increase their sovereignty over
public utilities, it becomes necessary
for this class government to cOntin.
ually encroach upon and obtain control
Of the legislative, executive, and ju-
dicial branches of the government yet
nomially in control of all the people,
and through which alone the SOW
ereignty and political power of the
masses can be exercised. The great
concentration of wealth, organization,
and mutual interests in the hands of
a comparatively few men in control of
public utilities, is more than match
for the poverty, lack of effective or
gsnizstlon, and widely varying in
terests Of the masses. In all ages
the poor and the ignorant have beer
misled and enslaVed through Gun
ningly playing on their superstitionE
and by the tanning of their partisan
prejudiCes, and so successfully is this
done In this country that we have the
amazing spectacle of the masses
divided into two nearly equal and
hostile camps, under leaders working
for exactly the same object, and that
object contrary to the interests of both
the opposing forces under their com
msnd.
The administration of public utili
ties in this age and country is GER
tainly one of the most important func
tions Of goVernment--the one which
most affects the fortunes and liberties
of the people, for it involves the con
tinuous and extensive use of the exec
utive, legislative, judicial, and mill.

empliAed in the state and federal
courts, being with scarce an exception

Some have misconstrued the idea.
of the LEApER last week in refer !.
ence to the county money in the
hands of the defuuct Hamilton, Job
& Co. bank. We believe that the
officers and their bopdsmen should.
have been held primarily for the
money deposited in the banks.
There was no business sense i'll the
county at that time looking else
where for the county money. But
this was not done. The county
court took it out of their hands and
assumed the burden of the same,
and started a Suit for the recovery
of the same. I'VE don't believe
that the county can now in the
face of these acts ofits court recover
from these bondsmen, Already
much money has been expended in
useless court and attorney fees, and
we don't believe that the county
would be justified in pursuing the
case further in the coufts. All
these court and attorney fees must
be paid by taxes wrung from our
people, and we believe that enough
money has gone In that direction.
We will admit that the county has
been wronged out of the money,
and that officers and their bondsmen
should have been held strictly
responsible for the funds in their
hands. The only thing about il is
that it is cheaper for the county to
lose the money entirely than to
bear the expense Of heavy suit
against the bonds of the sheriff and
bondsmen with a great probability
of getting beat. 1t is simply an
experience lesson Of 81, 38o.2o, and
should learn the county in the
future that official bonds are made
for the protection Of the county,
and act accordingly.

1t now transpires that Pennoyer

combinations 10 inmates of the
penitentiary after lie made his
famous order excluding reporters,
and the public generally from the
records in such cases. Many of
the combinations were made 10
take effect after his successor had
taken charge of the Office. This
was most brazen effrontry, mas
much as it was equivalent TO saying
that his successor was not qualified
to pass intelligently upon the mat
ter. But this phase Of tie, affair
was the least perniciou'. The
worst part was the trampling down
of the decision of law and setting
aside the sentences of judges, and
turning loose upon the state horde
of criminals whom the courts had
been to great expense and trouble
to convict. There is no assertion
that these sentences were unjust
because the parties were convicted.
1t is peculiar that the rapist were
not left out of these committed
criminals. a.

had lately come from Italy, where he
left wife and four children. He had

He was 40 years old.
DIR. Cuneo, acting consul for the
Italian government, started for Wal
senburg last night, having received in
structions to that effect from the am
bassador, Baron Fava, yesterday.
The message received from the am
bassador was worded in Italian and

THE ALLIANCA OUTRAGE.

Capt. Crossman Will Make a Sketch Chart
|. Showing the Course of His Vessel and
Location with Reference to Cuba at the
! Time She WAS Wantonly Fired Upon by
the Spanish Gunboat. tss;
| WASHINGTON. March 15.-It was
| stated at the state department yester.
day afternoon, in response to direct
question, that it was thought exceed
ingly likely" that Capt. Crossman
would respond in person to the re-
quest of Acting Secretary Uhl for an
affidavit and a sketch chart showing
the course of the Alliance and the dis
lance of the vessel from the nearest
point of the island of Cuba.
The officers attached to the naval
intelligence Office have been endeavor.
ing to identify the Spanish vessel that
fired on the Alliance, but SO far they
have not succeeded. They say that
all the Spanish gunboats in Cuban
waters answer the description furn-
ished by Capt. Crossman of his assail-
ant, in being small, old and of ancient
pattern. They differ in color only.
Will Send the Chart to the State Depart
ment.
NEW YORK, March 15.-Capt. Cross
man said he would sent a chart to the
state department showing where the
attack occurred. He said he knew his
vessel was at least four miles off Cape
MaySi, which is the eaSternmost point
of Cuba.
Capt. Crossman continued: THE
man-of-war which attacked US was
broad off our port quarter. 1 viii say
right here, and this is statement
which l have not made before, that
had the man-of-war signalled US with
the international code 1 would have
stopped Immediately. She raised no
such signals, however. Her fire was
practically a command, and l am not a
man to take orders from anybody, ex-
eept my superior officers"
little more in regard to the iden-
tity of the Spanish man-of-war was
learned this morning. Capt. Cross
man said that he could plainly see
that she had a copper bottom. In the
opinion of experienced seamen, this in
dictates that she must have been a
wooden-hulled ship, for copper bot
toms are, as general rule, used
only on wooden ships. If that be
so, the Allianca's assailant was
evidently one of SPANS old ships, for
Spain has not built a wooden ship in
the last ten years. The state depart
ment should, there fore, maritime cir
cles think, have little difficulty in dis
covering the identity of the man-of-
war.

pal church, of Detroit, Mich, who has
been to China for the purpose of visit
ing the different missions of his
denomination. The bishop said since
the murder of Wiley there have been
no further outrages in the orient, and
the prospect of the missionary work
there is most favorable.
''In Japan more particularly we are
allowed to distribute Bibles among the
military, and several of our Christian
ministers have joined the army as
chaplains. In China the hatred against
all foreigners is intensified in some
places. but the feeling, as far as my
own experience goes, seems to be very
general, except in the Yang-Tse val
ley. l stayed three or four months in
China, four months in Japan and a
month in Corea. L was invited to an
audience with the king of Corea.
who assured me he was anxious
to see our religion prosper in every
way. and expressed the hope that many
more missionaries would come to his
country. Two cabinet ministers of the
Corean king are also warm friends of
the Christian religion, and are very
anxious that it should be universally
accepted throughout the country.
Japan. believe, is growing nation,
and have great faith in the people.
They have had strong provocation to
inhumanity, but their general DISPOSE
ton is kind, manly and noble.
''Whiie in China 1 was invited by a
leading governor in the south to visit
him. He said he fully recognized that
England and America were the two
leading nations of the world, and
China, with her vast area and huge
population, was very inferior to them,
but unfortunately. he added, so bound
down by their laws and immoral GUS
toms that it was almost impossible to
change.

the work of the Methodist missions,

ferences, etc. My errand is completed"

gave important testimony in several
cases Davis is the prisoner who was
absurdly reported by San Francisco
paper to have been ruined.
The ex-queen has, after all, refused
to lease her Washington Place resi-

return there, which seems quite I'M
likely. The government feels the
necessity of separating her from &C

would instinctively pay homage to her
as a semi-divine parsonage.
The Hawaiian Annexation league

soon to enroll most of the natives in
the organization.
The royalist ladies' movement for
wearing convict stripes materialized
yesterday in dresses and hats of such
material worn by two women in front
of the prison. The principal lady was
the well-known consort of a leading
rebel. Her example is not likely to
1end luster to the movement.
