Two Sides to the Question.

Corporate rights are generally of length
and breadth sufficient to satisfy those who
are favored by them, and when the corpora
ton Is of the steam or street-railway variety
everything seems to be taken for grained
Occasionally. however. company runs into
snaS- This was the case recently in Pitts
burg, where Judge Ewing decided that a.
street-railway franchise does not give to the
owners of the franchise the right to rent
advertising space in the cars The decision
Is particularly pleasing to q great many
people because whenever efforts have been
made to interest companies in things they
did not want to do they have always pro-
tected themselves with pleas that the char
ter did not permit the carrying of anything
but passengers. This was the defense set
up when IL was suggested that street-ra:l-
way companies could easily haul garbage at
night. Now Judge Ewing pulls the other
end of the string and says: Anything rea-
sonably necessary for the convenience and
comfort of passengers while en- route would
be within the power of the company We
are unable to see now the business of adver-
Using for pay comes within any of the rules
as to the power of such a corporation" It's
a poor charter that won't work both ways.

ton In respect both to gas and electric
lighting.
Congress has indicated a disposition to
furnish n measure Of relief to the people
by directly regulating the existing compa-
Eies, and the practical common-sense pres
ent action on the part Of this community
is to back up vigorously the procedure
which has found favor with the House.
Municipal ownership of Illuminating plants
may we'll be viewed as the ideal condition,
but in view of the heavy initial expense
which it will involve, and the extent of
education on the subject which our legsla-
turc would require before there was any
possibility of the enactment of this radical
legislation, the project is not a practical
one for this year or the immediate future.
We should not neglect the opportunity to
obtain immediate though partial relief
through excessive and exclusive devotion
to the brilliant but remote project of NUM-
cipal ownership. The House has declared
In favor Of cheaper gas and electric light,
an improved quality of gas, and more thor
ough inspection. The Board of Trade and
its special committee can do good work

Vermont Is a state of intelligent edu-
Gated. brOad-minded and patriotic people.
1t is state of public schools and free IL
braries. 1t is the state of Edmunds, and
the state now worthily represented in the
national councils by Morrill, and Proctor
In the Senate, and in the House by Grout,
all men who perform faithfully their con-
stitutionai duty as legislators for the ma
tons capital as we'll as their duty toward
their home constituents.
The fact that it was a representative
or misrepresentative--oft this state who yes
terday in the House gave utterance to the
harrow views concerning the nations city
ana It's people which are occa sionally eX-
pected from the spokesman of some remote,
rural, newly formed district, ignorant Of
the history Of his country and the national
capltal, was the greatest surprise OF the
day. Vermont can take no pride in her
Powers.
MIR. Powers district is an insignificant con-
tributor to the national taxes The part of
such taxation which can be traced unmis-
takably to the people of this county, takes
the shape of internal revenue taxation. In
ls'S the little District of Columbia paid in
internal revenue taxes into the national
purse over twelve times as much as was
PAID by the whole state of Vermont So
that the national capital as a municipality
not only pays one-half the expenses of the
nations city outright, but it contributes
more than twenty-four times as much as
Mr. Powers district to the national rev.
ehues from which the other half is paid
The District might be willing to REIN
purse the people Of Mr.. Powers district
their ,nf'nitesimal contribution to the ex-
penses Of the nations city ii they would re-
form Mr.. Powers, or withdraw him

Among the pressing needs of the National
Capital none outranks that which calls for
a complete system of sewers. This is a
matter of vital Importance to every resident
and visitor; it concerns the health of nearly
three hundred thousand people every day in
the year; and of that population a large
number are persons in whose welfare the
people OF the republic are deeply interested.
Every effort should be made to press to legis-
lati:e conclusion the proposition which
looks TO the completion of the comprehen-
sive sewer system. The work contemplated
Is OF great magnitude and will, if properly
done, serve this city for a hundred years.
1t is, therefore. no more than fair that those
beneiiciaries who come after US shall be re-
quired to contribute their quota of the ex-
pense by meeting proportion of the bonds
which 1t Is proposed to issue to raise the
money for this Improvement

An Opportunity for the Board of
Trade.

Water and gas will supply the Board Of
Trade with topics for discussion at its next
meeting, which is to be held week hence
Some months ago the Board authorized the
appointment of a committee whose duty it
was to investigate as to gas and electric
lighting here and elsewhere and 10 make
such recommendations as seemed proper
The committee reported that both forms of
illumination were retailed at exorbitant
rates and advised in favor of campaign

ownership and conduct of the gas and cleo

Morton in nomna- tion for one high office while the govern OTIS alleged friends were actively pushing him for another office of lesser dignity Mir. Depew telegraphed Governor Morton, stating that it had been asserted that he had rescnded his telegram of declination and was now willing to accept the second place, and asking him if this was so To this MT. Depew received the following explicit reply:
 "Rhinecliff, N. Y, June 16.-Hon. Chauncey M. Depew Southern Hotel, St. Louis: Telegram received. Stories circu- lated are unfounded. Have rescinded nothing. L. P. MORTON"
 AS a commentary upon this dispatch MT. Depew repeated the remark he made to reporter for the Southern Associated Press this morning when the rumors about Mr. Morton's vice presidential as pirations were brought to his attention: How often must man say a thing be- fore he is to be believed? Must he say 1t every day and keep on saying 1t indefl- nitely?"

worth, it's stability, we go forward plan- ming for the future. The capitalist erects his factories, acquires his materials, em- ploys his artisans mechanics and labor CTS. He is confident that his margin will not be swept away by fiuctuation in the currency. The laborer knows that the money earned by his toll is honest as his toll, and 1t is unquestioned in it's pur- chasing power. He likewise knows that 1t requires as much labor to eafh a poor dollar as good one, and he also knows that if poor money is abroad it surely finds its way into his pockets. We pro- test against lower standard of com mercial honor. We stand against the democratic attempt to degrade our cur rency to the low level of Mexico, China, standard of our currency our honor and our flag vii be sacredly protected and preserved by the republican party.
 There are many and important ques- tions requiring the enlightened and pa- triotic Judgment of the republican party. A pan-American commercial alliance was conceived by James G. Blaine, and the highest motives of self-interest re- quire us to accomplish what he had so well begun.
 The Monroe doctrine must be firmly upheld and the powers of the earth made to respect this great, but unwriten. law. There can be no further territorial ag grandizement by foreign governments on the western continent.
 Our devotion to the pensioners of the nation was never more necessary than now.
 The republican party believes in the development of our navy and merchant marine until we establish our undisput- ed supremacy upon the high seas.
 The struggle for Cuban liberty enlists the ardent sympathy of the republican party-a party which has given to liberty its fullest meaning on this continent. We wish to see new republic born on Cuban soil greet the country whose dawn is already purpling the east.
 My friends. the campaign of 1896 is upon us. The great questions for debate in the August forum of the United States are free trade and free silver against protective tariff and sound money. As we regard our homes and our honor, our happiness and prosperity and the future power and majesty of the republic, let us dedicate ourselves to the restoration of protective tariff which shall be gen timely American and to the maintenance of an honest standard of value with which to measure the exchanges of the people.
 A distinguished republican has said that the supreme desire of the American people is for an "honest currency and chance to earn it by honest toil.'

The Most Striking of His Remarks Is Tha. He Wishes to Retire to Private
 Life

Washington, June 16.-President Cleve- land today made the following reply to a representative of the New York Herald who asked of the president statement concerning the democratic situation:
 MT. Cleveland said: "I have made no figures as to the probable action of the delegates already chosen or to be chosen to the democratic national convention, and I refuse to believe that when the time arrives for deliberate action there will be engrafted upon our democratic creed a demand for the free, unlimited and independent coinage of silver. I can not believe this, because I know the dem ocratic party is neither unpatriotic nor foolish, and because it seems so clear to me that such a course will infiict a very great injury upon every interest of our country, which it has been the mission of the democracy to advance, and will result in lasting disaster to our party organiza- tion There Is little hope that as means of success this free silver proposition, after its thorough discussion during political campaign, will attract majority of. the votes of the country. It must be that many of the illusions influencing those now relying upon this alleged pan acea for their ills will be dispelled before the time comes for them to cast their bal lots, which will express thelr sober sec ond thought. 5s1
 ''The adoption by the democracy of this proposition would, I believe, give to our opponents an advantage both in the pres ent and future which they do not de- serve. n .tf
 .',The attachment, to true democracy is so strong that consider its success as identical with the promotion of the coun- try's good. This ought sufficiently to ac- count for my anxiety that no mistake be made at our party convention. In my opinion no effort should be sparedto se- cure such action of the delegates as will avert party demoralization.
 ''It is place for consultation and com parison of views, and those democrats who. believe in the cause of sound money should there be heard and be constantly in evidence
 "A cause worth fighting for is worth fighting to the end If sound money democrats suppose there is danger of mistake being made such danger should stimulate their activity in averting it instead of creating Encouragement
 + am very far from arrogating toSmy- self~a controlling Influence upon the poli- cy of my .partX. but as an unfiinching democrat, t,.who has4been honpred by his party and who desires hereafter no great CT political privileges than tSsoccupy the place of a private in it's ranks, hope I may not be blamed for saying this much at this time in the interest, as it seems to me, of the grand old organization, SO rich in honorable traditions. so justly proud of its achievements and always brave in its battles for the peoples vel fare"

Hard luck seems to be following Man ager Fuller. Yesterdays game in At lanta was the prettiest ever seen in that city and was full of snap and ginger
 Sparks and Norton were the opposing pit lers and both are entitled to much credit for their work Everybody was in the game and on the jump, and it was anybody's victory until the last man was out in the ninth inning.
 As will be seen by the box score, Katz was not in the game, but instead was onI the players bench in state of intoxica- tion, and became so much of nuisance that Umpire Keefe had him put off the grounds. MT. Keefe did the prop CT thing, and 1t is to be hoped Manager Fuller did his share toward condemning the action of the crack left fielder by giv- ing him a fine of at least $50.
 Such exhibitions are not to the liking of Birmingham, and had he appeared on the local diamond in q drunken condition it is safe to say MT. Katz would not have been allowed to even get so far as the players bench.
 Beecher, the plucky little shortstop, was put out of the game for back talk. but it is safe to say he was contending for his rights.
 There is an air of mystery lowering around the man behind the rubber. As is known Fletcher, who caught so well here on Saturday, left with the home team for Atlanta, but the man now be- hind the bat goes by the name of Marion.
 The game was hard ons to lose, and the following tells how it was done:
 Atlanta June 16.-By long odds the prettest game of ball seen on the At 1anta grounds this season was played this afternoon by the Atlantas and Bir- minghams. But five runs were made by the two teams combined while only one error was marked up by the official scorer Twelve hits was the sum total off the pitchers, and in one inning only three balls left the pitchers hand to re- tire the side. In every inning except two the BirminghamS never got more than three men at the bat, while the Atlantas failed to get only three men up in four or five innings. Norton and Sparks did the pitching, and, while Norton received perfect support, only one error was made behind Sparks. Gifford's work at short was the feature of the game if the game had a feature, so thoroughly excellent was the work of every man on both teams. Beecher gave Umpire Keefe SC much back talk that he was put out o1 the game Katz, who was too drunk tC play kept mouthing from the bench un- til Keefe put him off the grounds. The crowd was nearly 1000. The official score

work of the Gate City aggregation on
 their recent trip, says:
 Tn every town in the league the rooters
 never let up, and in more than one town
 the visiting teams find it unsafe to put up the best ball that can be played
 This is an unwarranted reflection on Birmingham. Montgomery, Mobile, Co.,
 lumbus and New Orleans, and is calcu- lated to injure the sport Where the
 sporting editor of the Consti got his in-
 formation is not given, but he is assured that no such charge can rest against the
 Magic City. Whenever a visitor makes
 good play he is accorded as much cred
 it as is a home player, to all of which
 Shea, Clifford, Fields, Van Dyke or any other of the Atlantas, even including
 Manager Knowles, can testify. The paper winds up the paragraph con-
 taining the above by saying: Tt wouldn't
 hurt Atlanta to give them back some of
 the same kind of medicine as they gave the Atlanta boys away from home." What effect the writer intends cannot be interpreted, as the rooters being at home and their favorites in Atlanta would not be any matter of satisfa ction to the Atlanta rooters One thing is cer-
 tain-the Birmingham ball team is a gen tlemanly lot of fellows, and, while they Will contend for their rights they will certainly not leave the grounds, no mat
 ter what the umpire gives them. Satur- | udy game IS q Nt11HCdtlOn or that IdCl Continuing, the writer says: "In one l town there was a policeman in full uni form and on duty. who exclaimed more | than once to a visiting player You run | info that man and I'll bump your head wi.h this stlckv "
 While the Atlantas were here they (as 1 did all other players) found a policeman
 on duty, and rightly so. He was there to protect all players locals and visitors alike. and to prevent ragamuffins on the
 outside from running away with balls when knocked over the fence. This off, cer is a gentleman, as are all comprising
 the Birmingham police force, and only | once has he been called upon to do ser vice by the umpire. This was on Friday, when the umpire ordered Catcher Fields | off the grounds. The latter seemed deter
 mined not to go. and the officer told him | in gentlemanly manner without laying hands on him, that it would be best to re- | tire and not have himself fined by the l umpire.
 l Would one of Atlanta's police officers | have acted so courteously?
 | Give Old Nick his dues, MT. Sporting | Editor and get in the game. If your l team got downed too often while on the l road 1T was not the fault of the rooters.
 Make inquiry, and you will find where the | fault was
