News About Town.
Something More Re-
Rarding the Own
ership.
They Say It's Poor Economy.
Mr.. Koeh's Advi-abiIity OF Having
the Next Convention Here
other News.

Considerable il being said just now ~
the press Of the Upper Peninsula concern
ing the municipal ownership OF electric
lighting, water works and street railway
plants. The Marquette Mining Journal,
viewing il from a purely local stand
point. is undecided whether il is economy
or not Ii claims its own experience to
leave doubts az TO the ACCESSIBILITY OF the
city owning aud operating an electric
lighting plant. but lays the failures that
have occurred to the incompetency, or
neglect, OF the local board that has the
handling OF the enterprise. We suppose
Marquette ia made up like most towns as
TO it's business population. There are
some very fine fellows who are able vote
getters, and who cut a wide swath social
IL, who are not bowling success in
guiding business institutions. On the
other hand there are those who prattle
but little, who are anything but polite
in their utterances, but who are excellent
fuanciers and able directors of business
affairs. Thefellow who makes business
of pleasing all people aud who knows
nothing Of municipal wants and how TO
properly treat them, often does consider
able damage -innocently, perhaps, but
he does il Just the same.
Where cities do their own lighting
water-supply ing. etc, they should select
men OF business ability to look after their
interests. They need men who will give
their duties close attention and who will
care tor the affairs OF the municipality as
they would for their personal ones.
Marquette with magnificent water
power, should have cheap aud sa.isfac-
tory lighting OF its streets, business
places and residences. Ii has natural ad-
vantages few cities in this region possess
and it's people should enjoy the blessings
that nature has bestowed. Like many
other towns it's experience has probably
been expensive in trying to help itself
but this was not the fault OF the big
waterfall 10 Dead river improvements
are constant in electrical apparatus aud
machinery and the plant that was up.to
date ten years ago IL now Anticipated
and too expensive TO operate. Munici-
pal owners have to advance to
satisfy the consumers a. do pri-
vate ones, and changes are costly. The
earnings Of private operators OF electric
lighting plants, railways. etc, is not al
ways az satisfactory as the investor in
such enterprises would desire.
Possessing its own water power, Mar
auette certainly should make money by
providing it's own light, and fit has failed
il must be due to lack OF good machinery
or incompetent handling, or both.-Iron

THE PEACEFUL EAST.

Eastern papers, especially those pub
lished in New Y prk, are constantly
holding up the silver States as mere
mining camps and pregnant with crime
aud debauchery. Unfortunately, min
ing countries are always a little wild,
owing partly to the fact that the rakes
from the East often go there when it
becomes too warm at home. But we
venture to say that more crimes are
committed in one day in New York
City alone than in all the silver pro
duciDg States put together, Mexico is
a silver country, and if it be true that
such countries are peopled by criminals,
statistics show that Mexico is far more
~peaceable than the United States only
one person in "a, 900 being killed by
murderers, while one in 1000 dies by
the hand of a murderer in the United
States every year.
The New )rk Times is one paper
that can't get out an issue without ridi-
culing the mining camp States. 1t is
an English. Wall street paper, not of
the sensational class, and prides itself
on the accuracy of it's rews. We will
take n Issue of that paper and see the
story it tells about its own city. On
July 9th it contained the following
news of local crimes in that city;
Andrew Moagh kills Alfred Peter
son because Peterson, who was drink
ing, brushed against Moagh on the
street." Albert Todd fatally wounds
Elmer Van Etten with a paving block"
Alexander Mazzuka stabb ID Frank
Panzza fatally in a fight" Samuel
j. Mccoy stabbed John King fatally
on slight pr~ovocation." "A mob BEATS
Policeman James Dolan " "A stranger
attempts suicide by throwing himself
in front of a cable car" AN unknown
man attempts suicide by jumping into
a deep railroad cut" Trolley cars
crowded and respectable people have
to listen to vulgar language" (Chat
sounds like a mining camp Seven
base b Ill players get drunk and nearly
beat the umpire to death" j )hn Ben
swix attempts suicide by 1mping from
a ferris wheel head foremost" (This
makes three attempts in one day, mind
you.) "A boy peddIer who is support
ing a father nearly dead with consump
ton his mother and four small brothers
and sisters arrested for peddling in VIC
lation of a park ordnance"
The above crimes are only q part.

CHICAGO JOURNALISM AND

1t was the hottest hour of yesterday

TRUE PROPHECY.

Some time ago we predicted that
Col. Josephus Daniels, editor of the
News and O 1server, would be the first
gentleman up on top of the pie counter,
whether q silver mar or gold man was
nominated, and that he would shoulder
the entire responsibility of whatever
happened at the National convention.
The convention was hardly under way
we'll when news began to pour in to the
effect that Josephus was hugging the
Candidates and toting them around in
Chicago on his shoulders. We knew
something would ''drap" pretty soon.
J0sephus telegraphed his paper in cap
ital letters that BLAND is ahead, but
Bryan is gaining" ALI through the
hot days and nights Josephus kept the
wires hot with what he was doing.
! Then comes this news: "a number Of
the North Carolina delegation called
on the future President, headed by
National Committeeman Daniels. Mr..
Bryan grasped him by the hand and
said: 'Josephus thank the North Caro-
lima delegation. Next to Nebraska I
owe them more than any other PEG,
ple." But if this isn't sufficient the
following editorial Fquib in the News
and Observer Saturday, evidently
wired from Chicago, will clinch the
matter: "Of course somebody is going
to rise in his seat and say that the
News and Observer was not the origin
al Bryan man. But the great reading
public cannot be misled by such trihing
talk" Josephus will come home with
something else in his pocket besides a
penny pad and a shoe buttoner, pro-
vided, Of course, that the hoy orator.
gets more votes than the other fellows.
1t will be a promise of pie.
