pected. is a valuable contribution on
the subject of street railways.
The conclusion OF the commission liz
that municipalities should own the
street railway tracks. Just as they do
the streets, but that they should not
attempt to operate the street cars. The
commission says that should be left to
private corporations, as at present.
Coming from men of high character.
after careful investigation. this recon-
mcndation win have great weight. A
bill has been prepared for presentation
TO the Legislature embodying this idea.
II municipalities everywhere were to
acquire ownership of trackage they
could make terms with operating com
panies much more favorable to the city
and would be able to maintain a much
more satisfactory control over the
streets and transit facilities.
In Massachusetts street railway
franchises are not granted for definite
terms. Companies are allowed to con-
struct roads without any limit as to
time. The public authorities have the
right, however. to revoke the franchise
at any time upon making compensation
for expenditures upon the plant. yhe
commission thinks the Massachusetts
plan better than that in use in Ameri-
can cities elsewhere. The deflnite-term
franchise. 1t says, has been productive

The commission recommends that all
the street railroads in riven city
should be placed under one ownership
which should be held to strict ac
countability MS n public agency, and
the Chicago News cordially endorses
this idea. There can be no question
that popular sentiment is fast crystal
izing in support OF the doctrine that
public utilities should be owned and
controlled by the people.

DEFECT IN THE LAW.

In the town Of Richfeld. Sewer
county, there has recently occurred an
illustration showing how the vicious
propensities of vile wretch may be
stated by the preparation of a gross out
rage upon any number of respectable
citizens. without placing him within
the reach of the law In any manner or
degree; and how justice can be ad-
ministered TO a miscreant only by ex-
posing to legal penalties the person
who performs the good work.
The "News'' yesterday CThursdny)
contained n reference to the publication
in the Richneld Advocate of the 9th
Inst. of matter grossly insulting to q
number OF the best families In the
place. On the day following the np-
pearance Of the article. 80 1t is re-
ported. John Meteer. editor of the Ad-
vocate. was In the act of leaving the
post Office with AN armful Of mail mat
ter. when a lady of fine physique and

was one OF the victims OF the foul and
brutal attack that had appeared in the
paper named, gave him a ringing slap
In the face. following it up with sue
cession of blows rapidly and vigorous

Word comes from Rlchfeld that the
lady is to be arrested. The News" has
the greatest respect for the law and
desires to see It maintained and vim
dictated ut all times Undoubtedly the
lady violated II. and II the unspeak-
able perpetrator of the outrage that
provoked her shall appear In court and
prosecute her and make out a case
against her, let not the court or jury
hesitate to convict her.
But let her punishment be fixed Mt a
fine In the sum of one cent, and then
let her fellow citizens take up a collec-
tion to defray the cost OF suitable

her power to employ--physical force

expression or public opinion as will be
Just TO all concerned.
That the law should protect where 1t
ought to punish with extreme severity.
and that 1t should punish where 1t
ought to protect, as in the Richfeld
episode. shows n grave defect In 1t

The conditions prevailing in the Cen
trail American republics would un-
doubtedly be duplicated In Cuba should
that island become Independent, as now
seems probable. The Central Ameri-
can states for nearly three centuries

and had no independent role In the his

Ing dictators have followed each other
in rapid succession; trade languishes
and the people remain poor and ig-
norant in the midst of wealth and the
luxuries of tropical nature. Roads
hardly exist; forced loans and military
exactions are the order of the day,
and 1t Is believed the population of
the isthmus today is less numerous
than 1t was at the beginning OF the
century.
A noteworthy fact is that there are
SO many aborigines In Central America.
About two-thirds of the entire popula-
ton Is said TO be pure Indians, gem

cestors did, when the country was first
settled by the Spaniards. The others
are o. mixed race. white and Indian,
exhibiting generally the vices OF both.
These are the rulers OF the countries,
the well-to-do. and the instlgstors OF
the revolutions.
The fact that SO many pure Indians
still exist In theCentral American states
is pointed out MS an evidence that
Spanish rule. whatever can be said
against 1t. has at least not resulted
In the determination OF the natives, MS
is In many Instances the case in
countries brought under Anglo Saxon
influence. The fact is that the Span
ish Adventures were religious In their
way. They were accompanied by
priests who baptized the heather that
could be persuaded to submit to the
rite. and when this was performed
the church recognized. the right OF her
newly adopted children to protection
and treated them as equals In many re-
spects with the conquerors. The Spanish
women remained at home, and the
settlers mingled freely with the natives

The English Almanac known as Old
Moore's contains forecasts OF grave
disasters to take place this year.
TROUBLES shall envelope the nations as
a garment. Crowns shall fall and in
some instances heads with them" In
the month of May, it is said, two OF
the great powers shall come into col
lision. and during the summer there are
to be sanguinary contests between the
races in the United States. During
August the atmosphere Is to be
filled with death. Riots In London and
the sudden death OF the car are to he
looked for during that month. Still
more wonderful events are to take place
In November. At that time the North
Pole Is to be discovered and connection
is to be established between the earth
and the planet Mars. The forecasts
are strange. but 1t is still more strange
that there are people inclined to be-

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

A few days ago the Republicans of
Des Moines, Iowa. renominated Mayor
John Macvicar on platform calling
for the municipal ownership OF water
works. lighting plants and street rail-
ways. In Milwaukee the contest for
the Republican nomination for mayor,
in progress this week. seems TO be mar
rowed down to two men, both OF whom
profess to believe in municipal owner
ship. but who differ in degree. One
wants TO proceed with the work of
while the other would put his ideas on
this subject into effect gradually. The
fact that the Republican organizations
in two important cities of the West
should consider the policy OF municipal
ownership SO important indicates the
hold which this sentiment has upon
the people OF American cities.
The citizens of Massachusetts In
some respects have shown more In
telligence in dealing with public ques-
tions than have those OF any other
state In the Union. The legislature OF
that commonwealth goes to more pains
to secure precise information than is
ordinarily the case elsewhere. At its
last session It created commission TO
investigate thoroughly the relations OF
street railways TO municipalities. The
members of the commission are Charles
Francis Adams, ex-Congressman VIII
liam W. Grape of New Bedford and
ex-Mayor Elihu b. Hayes of Lynn.
Mr.. Adams. the chairman Of the COM

to the approval OF the other members,

ton, and the other two visited about
twenty cities in the United States and

ONE OF THE DAILY CRIMES,
An Indictment Returned Against the Late
Crook in May. 1896.

An indictment returned by the
grand jury in May. 1896. and sup.
pressed for want of service, adds an
other to the long list of crime. laid at
the door of Minnie DAILY. the noted fe-
male crook, who was buried vester-
day in Chicago. Minnie was mem
Der OF the Shevlin gang, which made
a wholesale raid here on the day of
Cody's Wild West show. She is the
one who shipped out Of town the az
ticies stolen from the residence of Mrs.
Elizabeth Coyne. She was indicted
for burglary. All efforts to capture
her proved fruitless. Minnie had
several aliases.
Judge Gest stated today that he
would enter Judgment in accordance
with the verdict in the last trial of
Miss Annie Peterson. in which she
was declared guilty of arson and in
sane. She will be sent to the Western

case will probably be carried to a
