CITY TRANSIT CONTROL.


Some kind of a deal" is on between
San Francisco supervisors and one of
the street railway companies. In an
argument against the proposed Job"
the Chronicle presents these facts:
The City of Toronto, in Canada,
which formerly owned its street rail
ways, recently leased them to pri-
vate corporation on the following
terms: First, that the corporation
should pay $500 year for each mile of
track; s per cent on gross receipts up
to $1,000,000; 10 per cent on receipts
between $1,000,000 and $l,500,000; Is
per cent between S2,000,000 and $1,000
600, and 90 per cent on all over 3d.
100000. Second, single fares are fixed
at cents, with six tickets for a
quarter; workingmen's tickets, good
night and morning, eight for a quar-
ter, and school children's tickets ten
for a quarter. Third. the right of the
city to regulate speed and to deter
mine the number of cars to be run,
and to dictate all improvements, sup
ervise accounts and to regulate hours
of employment. etc. Even with such
contract the Toronto company is
making good dividends, and, of course,
its ability to earn will increase with
tbp Growth of tbp civ
In Detroit the street railroads are
successfully operated for three-cent
fare, and in Savannah, Ga, the eX
pertinent of a one-cent fare has proved
successful.

THE DEMOCRACY.

The National Democratic Convention
was opened by Chairman Harrity at
Chicago this day. There will be two
tremendous struggles within that
gathering this week. The first will
be on the platform; the second on the
candidate. The free coinage men will
be able to shape the utterance on
finance. but unless the two-thirds rule
be set aside it is not so certain that
they can name the standard bearer.
However. it is extremely improbable
that man who holds views at vari-
ance with platform declarations will
be placed on the ticket. Then again
the issue has been SO sharply defined
that the convention and the party are
practically forced to espouse the white
metal willy nilly. Mr.. Whitney would
most likely be the first choice of the
Democracy, but he is gold man, and
despairing of the situation has gone
abroad. Campbell of Ohio would be a
very strong man, but he is a straddler
on the metal for money matter. There
is not much other simon pure Demo-
cratic material outside of such favor
lite sons as Bland and half dozen
others of about his caliber. There is
too much partisanship in the party to
permit the naming of Teller, whose
bugle blast on silver would summon
| on his train all of the true blues ar
raigned against the st. Louis platform
The old line Democrats are nervous
and the force in the saddle lacks bal
ance. If the party goes for gold X
has no issue. 1t cannot make free
trade fight again. If it goes for free
silver the conservatives, who form n
powerful and influential element, will
either stay at home or go to the Re.
publican camp. With the Statutes OF
the Fourth of July and the Mckinley
huzzas ringing in their ears, the Dem
ocrats at Chicago today are in rather
a bad and mixed way.

MONDAY, JULY 6, 1896.

Citizens of the great state of Texas
have just held a good reads conven-
ton. The Governor and officials and
leading men have been interested TO
the extent that both political parties
will use in their platforms plank
favorable to the improvement of high
ways. The convention itself has de-
vised a simple yet comprehensive plan
calculated to provide the state with Il
system of fine roads to be kept in Il
first class condition of repair.

Our advertisements in the
daily papers attract more
wanters than we know what
to do with at times, but they
are indulgent with us and if
they cannot be waited on the
minute they get in the store
there are attractive bits Of
crockery and glassware to oc-
cupy their attention for a few
minutes. It's the shoppers
and buyers that make us
happy. If the rush continues
the force of clerks will be en-
larged. Advertising suits us.
IF it is a steak or a chop,
it's all the better for broilingr
if you have the right sort of
broiler. The Unique is the
one that broils both sides with
least trouble. No danger of
burning fingers with a Unique.
Every housewife uses
raisens to a degree in cooking;
the bother has been in the
seeding. An Automatic seed
er will seed pound in five
minutes and all the machine
costs is is dollar and a half.
The Columbia Egg Beaten
goes 10 you 1of a quarter.
Another style, works quicker
and has graduating glass,
costs Go cents, but it is worth
the difference.
The patent chimney cleaner
cleans the glass at one move

cost much, but it's worth a

1t is remarkable that the absence OF
the President and members of the
Cabinet from the ball on Saturday
night should be construed to require
comment with political flavor. 1t is
more remarkable that a newspaper
should assume to apologize for the
mere incident of the non-attendance
of leaders of the Government upon an
unofficial function. There is not and
there could not be an iota of political
significance to the affair under dis
custom There was no "snub,' no
breach of etiquette, no cause for crit
icism, inquiry. retaliation" or eXpla-
nation. All the worry and shutting
is absurd. Had the gentlemen of the
Government failed to appear at the
exercises presided over by Charge
Mills that would have been another
matter. But they were present on
that occasion.

FOURTH THOUGHTS.

1t was noticeable that everywhere,
from the beginning to the end of the
two celebrations, young men of the
country were prominent in the direc-
ton and execution of events of the
two programs. They sought and were
given advice and counsel of the older
heads, but it is a sign of the times
that the young men were active, en-
thusiastic and efficient.
1t is happy thought that to almost
everybody the day was simply the
''Fourth of July" There was 40
friction felt or jealousy shown any
where.
The Float idea made what might DE
called the instantaneous hit" The
tramway take-otf put all into con-
WILSON'S of merriment. The enter
prise of the merchants represented
was commended and will profit them.
The native girls in their big chariot
saluted the President very prettily by
waving their Hawaiian flags. The
protection float with the free silver
rudder was very appropriately on
wheels.
The heartiness with which the nat
ives entered into the formal and in
formal festivities showed that they
now appreciate the friendship of the
%
shouted with one strong voice for
both flags.
Especial mention is due the Kane
hameha School Cadet Band for both
it's appearance and playing. The six
teen musicians led the Second Battal-
ion of the n. G. III and did correct and
careful service as a military band.
1t is small wonder that there was an

touch on annexation was particularly
well received, even if Charge Mills die

the realm of politics, but the them,
was quickly changed. There are som,

TRIBUNE BICYCLES.

made to stand and it will be
many a day before they can be
bettered ar d then it will have
to be on a Tribune. These
wheels are built to stand hard
knocks, such as relay races on
streets that are all cut up by
heavy traffic.
1t has been a pleasure to see
how enthusiastic the girls were
over the victories OF the Tri-
bune and to hear them remark
that it was no wonder the Tri-
bune won how could it be
otherwise 1t has en- Z
thused them with a
desire to have such
a wheel and as "com n
ing events cast their shadows
before" we feel that VIC
can state with perfec ct conf
dence to ourselves and the
public that, the sales Of Ladies
rribunes will be very satisfac-
tory to US and the wheel more
than satisfactory to the buyers.
Girls, don't be afraid of buying
a Ladies Tribune. They are
exactly the same as the mems
wheel, except that it has a drop
frame instead of the diamond
frame. In other respects they
are exactly alike built to stand
hard usage and long wear.

Company.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the Office of the Electric Company and said
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment Of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have a complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

dents who came from various parts of the country to pay their respects to Major Mckinley. af rlls ie
 The speech which Major Mckinley made to the college boys was one of the most carefully prepared he has delivered this week, and it was listened to with the deepest interest. The visit of the school children was beautiful incident of the closing days of the campaign. Three thousand boys marched in line, each car rying small flag, The small girls, with their mothers, clustered in dense groups about the house and in all of the neigh boring yards. When the boys marched up they waved their handkerchiefs and shouted: "Hurrah, hurrah, Mckinley is the man. can't vote, but daddy can" The air was filled with the music of fresh young voices.. The boys cheered for sev- eral minutes and then three small boys mounted the stand and told Major Me Kinley that all the boys were for him, and that it was the main regret of their lives that they were not old enough to vote. It was dark when the children, af- ter listening to Major McKinley's pleas ant, fatherly talk, marched away behind their band and drum corps.
 The first delegation today was the origi- nal Mckinley colored republican club of Cleveland. It was the fifth original Me- Kinley club that has visited Canton. There were 100 voters in the party. The club was organized September 15 1893. Major Mckinley addressed them very brief1V

THAT JOHNS HOPKINS STOCK.

Mercantile Trust Company Files Answer
 to Suit for Dividends
 Baltimore, Md, Oct. 30.-The Mercan- tile Trust company today filed in the United States court an answer to the suit of the Johns Hopkins university against the receivers of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and others to recover per cent dividends on preferred stock of the Bal timore and Ohio Railroad company, held by the university. The answer is very bulky, covering 100 typewriter pages. It gives a full financial story of the Bal timore and Ohio corporation from the time of it's charter in 1926 to the present time.
 It claims that the university Is not en- titled to dividends on it's preferred stock until the outstanding obligations of the company are paid. It asserts that the act of 1885 under which the preferred stock was issued did not take from the hands of the officers of the company the power to pledge the property of the com pany when such became necessary in the conduct of it's business.
 Such property was actually pledged or mortgaged, and until these claims are satisfactory the stock held by the Johns Hopkins university can not receive pre- ference in the payment of dividends. Par ticular stress is laid on the fact that there are no profits out of which to pay dividends.

OFF TO IOWA.

Madison, Wis, Oct. 30.-The usual throng of silverites did not greet w. J. Bryan on his arrival in Madison tonight. A couple of hundred people only were at the Northwestern station when his train came in and the brass bands and march ing clubs did not get there until after MT. Bryan had started for the big building known as the Gymnasium, where his first speech was made. A gaily decorated open carriage, drawn by four mettlesome horses, proceeded leisurely to the depot to get the candidate past a modest-look- ing closed hack. MT. Bryan was in the hack. It all came about by change in his plans and the failure of those in charge of the candidates train to notify the local committee. MT Bryan was scheduled to arrive at o'clock. During the day it was ascertained that he could not make connections to enable him to keep his Iowa engagements tomorrow unless he left Madison at S30 tonight. The train was accordingly run ahead of time and reached here at 6:50 o'clock.
 The meetings addressed by Mir. Bryan were held indoors, for the night was chill ly and cold. He cut his speeches short and was able to leave at S30 over the H. linois Central to carry out his Iowa pro- gramme. In the Gymnasium standing audience that crowded that spacious hall to the doors heard him.. His second speech was made to another large crowd in the assembly chamber of the state cap- itOl.

NEVER WAS ANYs ls1Ion OF MONEY

New Y>I Oct 30.-Relatlve to the statement from Baltimore that the Ryan syndicate had obtained additional time in which to complete the agreement involv- ing the purchase of control of the Sea board Air Line system, an evening paper prints the following:
 A high authority on Seaboard Air Line matters said today: There is no trouble whatever in the negotiations for the change in ownership of the Seaboard Air Line. The control of about $500 shares of the Seaboard and Roanoke stock will be transferred to Mir. Ryan on or before No vember 15 next. A contract now binds the pool, headed by Louis McLane of Bal timore to deliver the stock at 125, and there has never been any question of the money. Mir. Ryan has until November 15 to take over the stock and so far as the money is concerned, 1t was provided for over a week ago. When the contract was made forty days were allowed to close the deal, and this expires on No- vember 15."
 The question of money has never once entered into the affair, and the reports circulated of alleged hitches are the re- suits of the efforts of other parties who want the Seaboard Air Line, and who are doing all in their power to break the con- tTdcl WHICH the Mcldne pool mas con- summated with MT. Ryan. The control of the Seaboard will pass into MT. Ryans hands before November 15.
 On the same authority the statement is made that MT. Ryan has acquired the control of the road for himself and In the purchase of the property he stands alone.
 Neither the Southern railway nor any other road is interested in the transac- tion. His policy will be one of peace, but he means business and the traffic capabil- ities of the road will be developed to their fullest extent.
 Just who will be associated with MT. Ryan in the ownership of the Seaboard Is not known.
 When 1t passes into his control he will under any condition personally control two-thirds of the stock, and he will de- vote his personal attention to it's manage ment and development.

SUSTAINED THE REGISTRAR.

Richmond, Va, Oct. 30-A test case was tried in the Henrico circuit court today involving the action of Registrar Pettus of Shoemakers precinct in purging the negro registration because of the names of some 200 alleged disqualified voters. The proceedings were ought under petitions for mandamus to com pei the registrar to restore the names. A bitter fight was made, and late tonight the jury, composed of the largest proper ty owners of the county, and embracing both gold and silver men, returned ver- dict fully sustaining the registrar on all of the points involved.
 Judge Wellford would have set the yer dict as de had it not been too late for an- other trial, but said that he thought the election laws ought to be improved.
