PUBLIC sesrIMENT GROWING
RAPIDLY.

Public ownership Of national monop-
olies IL the coming issue. Conditions
are daily creating q stronger public
sentiment in every quarter OF the
coun try for this solution Of the grsvest
problem before the American people.
Hon. Morrison j. Swift, in . recent, ar
ticle IN the Review, says:
"Public ownership 10 a national
cause. IL 10 not fad, IT 10 not the
property Of group Of radicals. it be.
longs to the whole people, poor and
rich, north, south, west, east, partisan
and non-partisan.
.Ths signs Of national public own
erphip awakening multiply. The New
York independent, q Republican, re-
Iigious new spaper Of wide circulation,
gives its whole issue Of May 9Th to the
subject. Citizens Of Boston, headed
BY the mayor, are moving to gain mu-
nicipal possession of the great West
End street railway monopoly. Those
who have held to municipal control
and tried IL have learned from the trial
that 10 will not do, and are coming over
to municipal ownership"
Governor Pingree, of Michigan, one
of the staunchest friends Of the people
and good government, has ever used
his efforts against the growing OPP
preston and domination Of mOnOpo-
lies. But he has always cOntended
that it was better for the government
to control than to own these mOnOpO-
lies. He now sees that his remedy is
Inadequate. lie now sees the mon
opolies defying and controlling the
government, instead Of the govern
ment controlling them. In = recent
statement, he said
III am 10th to surrender my belief in
municipal control and accept the doc
trines Of municipal ownership; but
am free to confess that I am being
gradually forced into the position OF
an advocate Of public ownership. The
methods of franchise holders compel
10, ~ also the ignorance and venality
Of many of the peoples representa-
tiyes. After some seven
years Of struggle against extOrtIonate
rates and the exploitation Of watered
stock, I much confess that my hold on
municipal control is feeble. The
methods of franchise holders are fore.
ing the expedient Of municipal owner
ship, and yet they expend large sums
Of money to defend themselves against
municipal ownership"
Justice Clark, of the Supreme Court
Of this state, one of the ablest jurists
and economic writers in the country
who ut first favored government con-
troll, now takes the same position. And
in fact Is the position that all must
take who are sincerely opposed to the
bleeding Of the public and the robbery
of the government by monOpOlies and
trusts. The greatest issue of modern
times is now squarely drawn-there il
no middle ground-there are but two
sides. The government must own and
operate all national monopolies in the
interest Of the public, or these monop'
olies will own and operate the govern.
ment In their own interest. This an(
the money question will be the twt
overshsdowing issues in the cam
paign Of 1900. NJ. b.

Chairman Odell, of the Commit
tee on Accounts of the House, is
greatly dissatisfied with the bill sub
mitted by the undertaken who had
charge Of the funeral of the late
Congressman Cook, of illinois. This

resentatives to pay him 81 $50
Mr.. Odell"claims that many of the
items of the bill are exhor bitant.
and all together out of proportion to
the value of the services rendere d
and the material furnished. He
particularly objects to the charge of
$50 for embalming the remains,
which he declares is three times as
much As undertak"rs usual, ask in
New York STATE. the G ,rge of
$3.50 for the casket and cases is an
other which he thinks altogether
too great. Then, too, the funeral
director asks $i5 for the three days
he was engaged in travelling be-
tween here and Chicago, which Mr..
Odell says is more than his own sal
airy as q Congressman for the same
time, and he does not believe that
the services of an undertaken are
more valuable than those of q Rep
resentative. He wants the bill cut
at least 5000 before he will consen,
to recommend its payment. But the
undertaken is unwilling to cut it al
all.
Mr.. Odell points out that his com
mlttee has just authorized the pay
ment of the funeral expenses of one
of the employees of the House, who
died about the time, the cost o.
whose funeral was only $148. II,
fails to see Why there should be .
difference of a thousand dollars be
tween the expense of burying Rep
resentative and an employe of tn,
