DON'T am SPEAK ar ONCE.

We have always admired the adaman-
tine self-assurance of the World Herald.
When The Bee declared that if the
Bryan organ wanted to read out of the
party all the democrats who have ac-
ccpted Roscwater's money for campaign
work list of names might be furnished
that would make its hair stand on end
for month, that sheet very coolly calls
upon The Bee to furnish the list. We
want to assure our amiable contrmpO-
rary that the publication of that list
might be very embarrassing to men high
and low in popocratic councils. If how
ever. the call is made in good faith The
Bee would suggest that inquiry be made
of Il. l.. Metcalfe or H. c. Miller and.
if they do not want TO disclose all they
know, Il man by the name of William
Jennings Bryan might assist them to re
fresh their memories.
We would caution the Bryan organ
that if it persists in pursuing this sub
iect it might vacate what there is left
to the active membership of the Jack
sonian club.

That they manage municipal affairs better
in Boston than in any other large city in the
United States has long been admitted out
side of Tammany hall. And it is to Boston
that we naturally turn to watch the progress
of municipal ownership of public franchises.
toward which there is a decided movement in
all our cities.
Boston is about completing a great street
railway subway to relieve the center of the
city of the congestion of trolley cars Its
cost viii be in the neighborhood of 81 00O,-
600, and the work has been prosecuted under
a transit commission, acting for the city of
Boston. Last Wednesday this commission
leased the subway to the West End Street
Railway company on terms that are interest

years on basis of 47s per cent interest per

According to the annual report of the
Interstate Commerce commission the
free pass abuse has become so notorious
that it calls for new legislation aimed
at it's repression. The present law pro
hibits the issue Of free railroad passes
except TO railway employees and has
stringent provisions against discrimina-
ton in passenger rates to influence
traffic of any kind. The present law,
however. seems to be without results
chiefly because no determined effort has
been made to enforce it and railroad
men have persuaded themselves that ii
was not intended TO be enforced. The
free pass abuses can be reached if con
gress really wants TO put stop TO
them.

According to the official returns Bryan
carried Virginia by the safe plurality of
2O627 and majority of 15,05S, According
to the Sound Money and Honest Election
League of Virginia there were 10000 repub-
lican ballots in the Second, Fourth and Fifth
congressional districts alone which were re-
jected on one pretext or another. The
league has the affdayits of $4,000 men in
these districts who were prevented from
casting their ballots by the interference of
challengers or by the unjust rulings of the
boards OF election.
The league is a practical body so 1t will
not attempt TO dispute Vlrginias vote in
the electoral college, but 1t Will contest the
seats of the silver congressman In the three
districts. There can be little doubt as TO
the issue OF such contests. They Will result
in the unsesting OF the Bryanites, as they
should. and, moreover, they will establish
