the hour-municipal ownership. The intro
duction was a rapid resume Of the war and
the loss Of life resulting frbm political
patronage in national government. From
this the speaker proceeded to municipal
government and gave some startling fig
ures to support her statements Of the ne
cessity for municipal reform in American
cities and towns
The speaker, to illustrate her points. cited
three pairs Of cities IN Europe and America
connecting them in density Of population
per acre. and compared the cost of sup
porting them and the value received from
the outlay by the people. They were Glas-
Cow and New York, Brooklyn and London
Boston and Birmingham, England. Sta
tistics were given to show the advantage
of economy in government, parks, free
baths. lodgings for the poor. those cities
owning their own public utilities possessed

owned and managed by private corpora

Gently acquired a controlling interest in the
foreign rights of the Hoadley-knight pat
ents. In an interview Mr. Letter spoke gem
orally of his plans for placing auto-mobile
in London and other foreign cities, but said
that ii was merely a matter of time when all
great cities would be compelled to adopt
some form of motor in place of horses.
Mr. Hoadley declined to state whether the
capitalists back of the New York AutO-truck
Company were Mr.. Letter and Mr. Whitney
or tell who they were. He said that the or
ganization of the company is not yet COM
pleted and that until it is the names of its
officers or directors would not be made pub
lie. OF the plans of the company he also
spoke guardedly. We have built auto
trucks he said and used them at our
works in Massachusetts. We can haul
load of eight tons twenty-five miles without
replenishtng the air. 1t is easier for our
trucks to move eight tons than for three
horses to haul six tons in an ordinary street.
On wet asphalt horses are almost helpless.
and with the substitution of asphalt for paw
ing stones the horse must go. From a san
itary standpoint and in the matter OF clean
liness 1t would make a great difference IN
the city If the $50, 900 to 10000 horses in its
streets were done away with. Our trucks
will take up less room and will move much
faster than an ordinary team and they are
under such perfect control that there is less
danger to life and limb than horses. Flee
tricity cannot be used for trucks designed
to carry heavy loads, owing to the weight
of the storage batteries that would be re-
quired. 1t does very we'll for cabs and light
delivery wagons but trucking is another
matter If we had our trucks in the city
when that last snowstorm fell we could have
removed it in seventy-two hours at the out
side
An attempt is to be made to absorb the
principal trucking interests in the city, and
to gradually replace horse drays with auto
trucks without antagonzing the present
owners. The plan proposed is similar to that
followed in organizing trusts. Separate in
terests are to be purchased and truck drivers
are to become mot0rmen. If this plan does
not work there will be a fight between the
old methods and the new"

ONE OF MoRRILL's SPEECHES.
A Satire ON QuaclS Financial Renee
dieH-Mr. Grout's Predica nent.

Senator Morrill, was one Of the clearest-
headed and wittiest members of the Senate.
Four years ago, when he had long passed
four score years, he made a remarkable
speech in the Senate, taking for his topic
Some Marvellous Senatorial Bills and Quack
Panaceas for Real and Imaginary Griev-
ances." This speech was provoked by nine
crazy financial measures, chiefly intro
duced by the long whiskered Populist PEI
fer, of Kansas, which were reported, adj
versely, of course, by the finance commit
tee. Senator Morrill, called attention to the
fact that these bills, if enacted into law,
would call for the expenditure by the gov
eminent of the stupendous sum of $93, 5O0-
100000 in legal-tendcr money. The speech did
more than anything else to expose the folly
of the Populist financial schemes, and in
opening his remarks Senator Morrill, con-
vulsed the Senate by saying: ut is hardly
necessary to say these hungry bills, big big
ger and biggest, nine of them, asking for
nine or ten times more money than there is
now in use by the whole world, were unani-
mously reported adversely by the committee
on finance. Nothing more, as the committee
conceived could have been expected. save
brief post-mortem obituaries. The bills
many of them, may have been reluctantly
introduced by request, and therefore not
tenderly nursed, even by their able and
eminent godfather. Responsibility for such
eccentricities ought not to be asked of SEN
ators, and should any member be charged
with their real authorship l hope he would
be able to plead in defense an alibi.
with no reasons offered for the introduce
ton of these billion-dollar bills, a sufficient
reason for the adverse report would appear
to have been that they were all death
stricken from an overdose of the legal-tender
nostrum at their birth, administered by the
accoucheur. One of these bills proposed an
issue Of legal tender money forty times
greater per capita than any we have ever
had; another to purchase all rne silver bull
lion that may be offered at $l.29 per ounce.
though it fetches now in any market only
90 cents per ounce. Ffguratively speaking
the bills were all of one brood ana of the
same feather-birds of imitation, none game
none worth a charge of powder, but leglsa-
tive dodoes, unlikely to be ever seen on the
earth again. No one who reads these bills
will need to be further bored by argu-
merits for their condemnation without bene-
nit OF clergy / do not suppose there are
more vagaries or political tomf0oleries put
afoat here than In other countries Occa-
sionally they come forth here without father
hood, frisk about through dog days and then
