Georgia Legislature, However, Refuses
Free License to Yankee Soldiers
Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 30.-The Georgia
legislature has killed a bill by Mr.. Calvin,
of Richmond county, which provided for
granting free licenses to Yankee soldiers
who might now he living in the State.
The bill created much surprise and was
strongly condemned Two men spoke in
favor of the bill, hut their speeches re
ceived little attention
Several men who opposed the bill said
that they loved the Union and had no
feeling of hostility AGAINST the North or
against the men who fought against the
South in the days Of .the civil war, but
they were unalterahly opposed to n meas
ure that would he "A reward for the D,en
who came to Georgia in 1864 and harmed
the homes os the people who are now ex-
pected to help and pension the Union SOL
diers.
y number of members said that the
national government made ample prDvis-
ion in the WAY of pensions for the aid of
the Union veterans and they thought
Georgia should connne her aid to the
men who bled in her defense during the
war.
There was no hostile sentiment uttered
against the North during the who lie pro-
sresS of the argument. but the members
seemed to regard the bill as ridiculous.

LEO PLEASED WITH KEANH.
Congratulates the Archbishop on His
Spirit of Unselfisbness.

Rome. Nov. 30 Archbishop Keane
former rector of the Catholic University
at Washington, was received by the Pope
yesterday. His holiness congratulated
the bishop upon the abnegation with
which, in letter to the Pope, he re-
nounced his claim to lie included in the
list of candidates for appointment to the
archbishopric of New Orleans. The
Pope also congratulated Archbishop
keane upon the series of sermons in Eng
lish, which he commenced yesterday,
upon the occasion of the Advent services
at the Church of st. Silvestro, in Capite
venerable church of Rome, erected in
honor OF John the Baptist, piece of
whose head is still preserved there.
The church is now in the possession of
the English Roman Catholics The sub
iect of Archbishop keane's sermon was
the Incarceration.

dent. March 4 will bring no
change in the financial policy
of the country. Nor has the
republican party promised us
any. The protective policy we
already have, and high party
authority informs the world
that no change in that line is
intended.
Hence, our belief, that the
policy of the government on
March 5will not change, is justi-
fed. That the business interests,
also, believe the same, is proven
by the fact that bank failures,
reduction in wages and the clos
ing down of factories and in
dustries, are occurring right
along since McKinley's election
as before. The entire claim
that McKinley's election would
restore prosperity was based on
the confidence-the belief-0f
the business interests of the
country that his administration
would maintain present poll
cies. Have we not, then, a
right to ask:

In Berlin the private street
car companies show 70 per
cent of the fares 212 cents, and
average fare of 3 cents on the
whole traffic, and operating
expenses about one-half of the
receipts or ~ cents per passen-
ger. This, too, is horse car
traffic, and the passengers are
fewer than in Boston. The pub
lie L roads of Berlin sell yearly
tickets to go in and out five
miles, as often as you please for
$3.50 a year, a running average
of about ten miles for 1 cent.
Yet a profit of 40 per cent is
made on the total passenger
traffic of the German roads.
In Savannah last year a 1
cent rate established with the
result of greatly charging the
traffic, and actually increasing
the receipts. A very fair pro-
fit was made-the expenses be-
ing $40 to $13 car and the re-
ceipts $14 to Is.
In Toronto the roads are

children's tickets from 8 a. m.
to 5 p. M, 10 for quarter. The
company must pay the city $500

per cent on the gross receipts

one to one and one-half mil
lions; IL per cent from one and

chise was sold for $25O,0OO cash
down, and a promise to pay
41% per cent of the gross earn
ings each year for the first five
years, aud 1872 per cent each
year thereafter. AS the COM
pany expects to make a good
profit on a very expensive road
and are willing to give nearly
half the receipts on a 8 cent
fare, it is clear that they do not
think the cost of operation will
run above cents at the most.
The company is not to use the
overhead trolley south of One
Hundred and Sixty-Second
street though north of that line
it is permitted for ten years.
The company is to pave the
streets and keep them clean

and the cars are to be "proper-
ly and sufficiently heated dur
in cold weather on pain of a
penalty of $40 per day for each
car not so heated.'

Municipal Ownership.

Municipal Ownership.
The following is taken from
a pamphlet published by Pro-
lessor Frank Parson. He is a
warm advocate of the munich
palization of street railways
and sets forth the following
figures in defence of the street
railways of the country:
In Glasgow, SO per centof the
fares are 1 cent, and the aver
age of all fares is under 2 cents
yet the city's roads made a pro-
fit of Sill, 900 in the first eleven
months of municipal operation
Uuly, 1894 to May 81, 1885,. The
cars are drawn by horses, a far
more expensive power than
electricity, and the city labored
under serious disadvantages
from the sickness of many
horses, and a tremendous ON
nibus competition started by
the old railway company.
In Buda Pesth the fares are
213 cents, and yet the roads
made 80 per cent profit on their
investment in 1894. The cleo

CHARGES AGAINST AN OFFICER
On Saturday last a nan named VIM.
Whalen went to the station house and
lodged complaint with Chief Webster
against Officer Jefferson Beach, charg-
ing the latter with drunkenness while
on his beat. Whalen stated that at six
o'clock on the preceding Monday morn
Ing he was near the corner at which
the officer was relieved, and that the
latter was so much under the influence
of liouor that a brother officer was com
PEELED to see him home. Whalen was
very radical in his opinion OF the otli-
GERS conduct, and said if the chief fail
ed to take %cognizance of the matter he
would go before the Police Commls
sioners and urge the charge. The chief
told him he would notify him when to
appear, and Whalen gave the name OF
81 Mr.. Hall who, he claimed, was also a
witness. The complainant reappeared
at the station house a day or two later
and reiterated the charge. The matter
was formally presented by the chief to
the board Saturday night and q meet
ing was held last night for the purpose
of examining the case. Officer Beach
positively denied the charge, while
Officer Proctor, who Whalen alleged
took Mr.. Beach home, was equally pos
tive in his statement that no such
thing occurred. Mr.. Hall, who had
been summoned as q witness, said he
saw nothing whatever to c%orroborate
Whalen's charge. The complainant
finally appeared and was put on the
stand, and he fatty denied having gore
to the station house and made any
charge whatever against Officer Beach.
The officer was, of course, honorably
acquitted. The above is a specimen OF
what the authorities have to contend
with. Whalen is ~ type of the ire
sponsibie people who are continually
casting aspersions on policemen n
other officials, but when they are called
upon to face responsibilities they repu.
date their w statements to the dis
gust of all right-thinking people.

Mosby has pleasing assurances that he
will be rendered q good Office by the

senatorial authority for the statement
that when Col. Mosby was asked if he
would accept the consul.generalship at
Havana, he promptly and Indignantly

Colonel Mosby.
