Natural Monopolies and Politics.

Natural Monopolies and Politics.
The stock argument against the
extension of municipal ownership
into the field of natural monOp0lies
is that such ownership would in
tensify the evils and corruption of
so-called practical politics. The.
fact is that the very opposite Is
true. No corporations are so much
in politics, nor 80 viciously selfish
and corrupting therein, as those
that come to the city council and
ask for franchises to engage in
business that is by nature a
monopoly. Municipal ownership
may be in many cases the means
of taking a business out of politics.
The city of Denver furnishes a
striking illustration Of the in
f1uence Of private corporations in
corrupting politics. Denver's water
is supplied by private company.
The people thought the charges ex-
tortionato and were taking steps
toward establishing municipal
works. The company promised a
reduction. At the next election 1t
packed the caucuses, elected alder
men of it's own choosing, and was
in complete control Of the council.
When that body was in the act of
making a fifteen-year contract
with the water company at the old
rates, the people, in their rage, en-
tered the council chamber and
were with difficulty dissuaded from
doing bodily harm to some of the
king "boodlers."
Denver's sorry experience shows
the influence Of private holders Of
natural monopolies in corrupting
politics. Chicago's water supply Is
controlled and managed by the
city itself. The water department
is not Sin politics" like the private
water company of Denver. 1t is not
'in politics" like the gas companies
and the street railway companies
of the city, that are under private
ownership and control.-[Chicago
Record.
The people are beginning every
where to discover that there Is
more politics in private monopolies
than in public ownership OF the
necessary institutions to furnish
the public, light, water, etc. The
private corporations exist by brib-
cry from the start-from the very
first chapter of their existence, they
corrupt our local politics all over
the land. The sooner all public
works intended to supply the peo-
PIE are owned and controlled by
the public the better. 1t will be
the very best purifier of the ballot
box.

MANsFIELD's NEW THEATRE
It IL Handsome and Comfortable
Tbs "Pompeiian" Room.


Tbs "Pompeiian" Room.
New York Sun.
Richard Mansfield's new theater,
the Garrick, formerly Harrigan's,
was lighted up last night for the
first time. The well-known play
house can hardly be recognized in
its new guise, for, although the
theater is the same so far as the
walls 60, it has been so changed by
its new decorations that it looks
like new place. 1t has been trans
formed into warm-looking, cosy,
homelike house, restful to the eyes
and comfortable as to seats.
The prevailing tone of the house
in Pompeiian red, the walls, carpet
and upholstering being Of that
color. The proscenium arch, the
panels, and the railing of the boxes
and the pillars are of a rich bronze.
The orchestra is finished In dark
oak, and the sounding shell, also
of oak, contains thirteen panels
bearing Elizabethan portraits from
the London house Of the Hon.
Lewis Wingfield, the artist.
The lighting of the house, which
is done both by electricity and gas,
contains all the modern improve
ments, and the pink globes in the
auditorium serve to help the soft
effect OF the general color scheme.
The drop curtain is an English
landscape by Adams, the English
artist.
Behind the scenes the theater is
as complete as in front Of them.
Everything possible has been done
for the comfort Of the actors. The
dressing rooms underneath the
stage are large and comfortable,
handsomely furnished, and contain
portraits Of noted bygone actors.
There is a room for each member
of the company. In the center and
under the stage is the green room,
the only one so situated in this
city.
The lobby is plain, but decorated
in the prevailing hue of the house.
In the middle OF the floor, in gilt,
is a raurel wreath containing the
letter an" and there is another in
the ceiling directly overhead. The
chief novelty of the theater is what
Mr.. Mansfield calls the "Pompeiian
ROOM" which is underneath the
lobby. This room is reached by a
broad staircase on the walls OF
which are hung seventy-six orig.
inal etchings Of Hogarth's paint.
ings. The room itself is decorated
in the same red as the rest OF the
theater. In the middle is foun
tain, and ranged round about the
sides are low upholstered seats, in
front of which are little tables.
This room will be loungine
room not only for men but fol
women, and ices, coffee, tea and

ner of the room is fernery con

DIR. PARKHURsT ON "rHR NEW
WOMAN"

But whatever certain adventurous
woman may think about it, it is suff
GENTLY clear that Nature has certain
pretty decided opinions of it's own on
the matter, and that Nature has Sd
wrought its opinions into the tissue of
woman's physical constitution and
function that any feminine attempt to
mutiny against wifehood, motherhood
and domestic ''limitations'' is a hope
less and rather imbeciIe attempt to
escape the inevitable, writes the Rev.
Charles II. Parkhurst, D. D., in an
article on "The True Mission of
Woman" in the April Ladies' Home
Journal. ALI the female congresses in
the world might combine in colossal
mass meeting and vote with passionate
show of hands that woman's sphere is
coincident with the spherity of the
globe or even of all the heavens; but
the very idiosyncrasy of her physical
build and the limitations essentially
bound up in it will sponge out her
mass meeting resolutions as fast as
she can pass them. 1t is we'll enough
for her to say that she wishes she were
a man; but she is not, and till she is,
she might as well succumb to the fact
that God and Nature had very differ
ent Intentions for her from what He had
for her brothers, and that H~erecorded
His intentions in a way that He has
taken some pains to prevent her being
able to forget. am really sorry for
those women that wish they were men
I wish they were, it would be such a
relief to the rest of us, as well as to
them.

TO MAKE A HOME OUT OF A
HOUSEHOLD.

''It seems to me-" lately remarked a
mother whose sons and daughters are
grown and out in the world, shat If
I had my children to bring up again 1
would put aside everything that would
in any way interfere with a sensible
and ~judicious training of their young
minds, and devote myself to them till
each vas five years old"
What did she do9 Surrendered them
to the care of the nurse, and surrendered
herself to the demands Of society. One
of the sons, grown to mans estate, still
cherishes a most unreasonable fear OF
darkness, even to passing the open
door of an unlighted apartment, for
the reason that in his babyhood a
nurse tried to compel sleep, lest some
terrible thing should come out of the
dark and carry him away.
A second son will carry through life
a nervous dread of laughing, born of a
practice of another nurse of showing
her large, white, glittering teeth in a
mirthful grin when, as an infant, he
fretted. The mother discovered her in
the act and instantly sent her away,
but the miscief was done and the other
was helpless to combat it. A child's
care taker should be a child lover.
There is nothing so enduring as char
acter whose foundations are well laid,
deep down in early childhood; the
warp and wool well woven by the
tender mother love, whose privilege it
is to build the moral and spiritual
structures that go toward making the
future citizen.
The early work in the home is
stamped in indelibIe characters upon
the mind of the child, and no ex-
perience in the after days can efface
them.
Home should be a vast heaven-land
of happiness for children, in which the
powers and graces of body, soul and
spirit symmetrically unfold, just as do
the plants under the genial, e%ntreating
rays of the sun The growth of love to
God and a love for each other, which
is the fulfilling of the law, -AWn

HAD soME EXPERIENCE, TOO.

Crossing the Cumberland river one
morning in the rope ferryboat which
prevails on those waters. I passed
the time talking to the gawky young
mountaineer who did the Charon act
in that locality. He was about 20 and,
to my experienced eye, was, as I
judged men, quite as green a specimen
as I had come upon.

few minutes.

"Not married3 Why, you are old

'.Well you ought to be-. It is the
only proper condition for a man, and
every man owes it to himself and
to society to take a wife. It set
ties one in life and brings about
him those hostages of fortune which
are bound to make a better citizen of
him, as well as a better man."
knew I was talking over his head,
but 1 was enjoying it if he wasn't.
"Air you married9" he asked, with a
directness that rather disconnected me.
"Well no, Ihesitated, 81 am not. I
tried to be, but the woman in the case
objected"
He was still for a minute.
''Mister, no said then, ''you reckon
you're the only teller in the world that
ever happened to meet up with n Nv
