Municipal Ownership.


A recent writer declares that progress
I'm the art of municipal affairs is all IN
the direction of municipal ownership OF
gas and electric-lighting plants, water
s,pply. and street railways. He says fur
tier that ut is neither socialistic, coni-
munistic, nor populistic movement.
1t cannot be questioned that the idea
of municipal ownership Of these appli-
ances. that furnish some Of the necessl-
ties used by all the people, mas Iapluly
gained ground within the last Few years;
nor that those cities that nave gone hoSC
extensively into municipal ownership aIe
the best-governed cities in the world. Inc
advantages that have accrued to the
people by the city ownership OF water
systems led to the purchase or erecNon u
lighting plants. and as a result or tnlS
16S cities in England ana ocoIlaHsu, iI,
clnding nearly all the larger municipail-
ties. except London, own ana opeIdte
their own gas plants. In Germany $50
cities. and in the United states ~, III
Guiding Wheeling Richmond, and mia
delDhia. supply gas TO their own citzens.
lcjectric-lighting plants have become
more generally the property OF cities III
this country than have gas mahuiacSo-
ries over 200 American cities, incluuins
Chicago. Detroit, and Sprlngnel,d1,, own ms
next thing that has fallen into the hands
of cities is the street-car lines. Thlrty-
three English and Scotch towns own the
street railways within their limits, while
such possession is not uncommon in Ger
many. Switzerland. Holland, and the Aus
fralian Colonies. on this side Of the At
iantic only two cities have assumed con-
troll of their street-car nnes-Ioronto
and. in a measure, New Orleans
Some idea Of the extent OF municipal
ownership of street franchises may be
gained from the fact that more than 400
Cities. of the most important class have
nut into actual practice some one or more
of the various forms of public ownership
of lighting plants and transportation "a
cilities. while many countries have adopt
ed laws under which such ownership can
be acquired and extended. In some OF
them the experiment has succeeded better
than in others, but no instance has been
shown where municipal ownership mas
been a failure, or where it has not re-
suited directly to the advantage both OF
the city and it's inhabitants.
IT is possible in view of the rapaclty OIL
corporations in this city in Wrestling fran,
chises from the people, that municipal
ownership will be forced upon the citizens
as a means of self-defence against tneir
REPRESENTATIVES and the monopolies that
own and control the majority oil theih'

The Oldest Lock.

The very oldest lock in existence is one
which formerly secured one or the doors
OF n palace in Nineveh. IL IS gigantic
affair and the key TO IL, as large az one
man can conveniently carry, Ter ,nra V tbe
of the Scriptural passage where the
prophet makes reference to such insIru-
ments being carried on the shoulder. me
exact words in the passage referred 10
are: "And the key of the house or DAVID
will I lay upon his shoulder" This enor-
nous KEY to the lock from Nineveh. Is
nearly 31-2 feet in length and inches
thick. II was found at the head or a
ruined chamber where n large wooden
door had perhaps once stood, the gigantic
brass hinges and heavy bars being sun
in fair condition. This relic OF the oiden
times has but few points Of resemblance
TO the keys of modern manufacture, or
even 10 those of the early part OF the
christian era The tubular idea had
never been thought of in those days. but
the key is fearfully and wonderfully
made. being equally as intricate a piece
used. A great many Of the bars and
pegs in the lock are believed TO have
been made of wood, as their places are
now empty. The notches and pegs In the
kew. however, show that there were cor
responding pegs and bars in the lock at
one time. The great lateral iron bars at
the end of the key, with their complicated
series Of notches. cross. bars. bumps, &c,
are proof that the lock was once SINH
larly provided. This being the case. IL
the door of that palace could not have
been opened until the key had been In
serted and the impeachment to the draw
ing back of the bolt removed by raising
so many bars and pins that had fallen
down into their places upon the key
having been withdrawn. Similar locks
and Keys were in use In Egypt more than
five thousand years ago.
