The Value of Street Franchises.
Times.


That is most important decision re-
Gently rendered by the Illinois supreme
court with reference to the franchises
of city railways.
The Chicago city council had passed
an ordinance imposing an annual IL
cense fee Of $500 for everyImile of track
operated by certain street car com-
pany. The company protested against
the payment of the fee and the case
finally found it's way up to the court of
last resort. The court held that the
power to impose the fee belongs to
the city and has laid down the doctrine
that in all such cases the city council
may insist upon compensation for the
use of streets.
The decision fortifies the position
which the Times has always held on
this question. Time and again, we
have tried to impress upon the citizens
of this city the great value of street
franchises. The streets belong to the
people and they should be used first of
all for the public convenience by indi-
viduals or corporations for pecunisry
profit, the city should be fully compen-
stated for the privilege. Such fran
chises should be made to yield hand
some revenue to the city and should
never be given away.

IN New Haven, where the great
Yale university is located, the people
have been in the habit of getting on
and off the electric cars while they
were in motion. The street car COM
pany tried elaborate signs explaining
how the passengers should alight, but
they had not the slightest effect At
last in despair the company had some
large signs printed on which in great
dark green letters appeared the words,
Don't be q chump; wait till the car
stops 1t worked perfectly. We sug-
Rest that the owners of the FL Paso
mule line kindly remind their patrons
by posting the sign, "Don't be a
chump: get of and walk"

NEXT Tuesday qualified voters OF
this city, who pay taxes upon property
In the city as shown by the last assess
ment roll, will have the opportunity
of voting upon the proposed issuance OF
nfty-one thousand dollars worth OF
bonds. OF this amount thirty thousand
dollars will be for the use of the
schools ten thousand dollars will be ex.
pended upon the new Jail and fire de-
partment; eleven thousand dollars will
be devoted to taking up four
teen thousand dollars worth OF
artesian we'll bonds, which ma.
ture next year, and In which q
portion of the water works
sinking fund, that was some time ago
ordered to be returned to the tax pay
ers, is invested. When the thirty
thousand dollars worth of bonds were
voted for the city hall last summer, It
was intended to combine the city hall,
Jail, and fire department. 1t subse-
quently appeared best to separate these
buildings, and an increased amount be-
came necessary on account OF the cost OF
the site for the Jail and fire depart
ment and the increased cost of the
buildings when built separately. 1t
has already been determined to go
ahead and construct the buildings
whether the bonds are vot-
ed or not, and in the event
the h5bond issue Is voted down
general fund scrip at discount will be
issued to cover the amount needed.
That will mean q much higher interest
rate in fact than the bonds will entail.
As for the schools, no citizen will deny
that the schools are in urgent need of
greatly increased accommodations. 1t
has not yet been definitely decided just
what will be done with the money, but
1t is thought that ten or eleven thous-
and dollars will be given to the second
ward for the construction of
substantial four or five room
school house; that about the same
amount will be spent upon the Mesa
school, in enlareing it to the size con-
templsted in the original plans; and
that five or six thousand dollars will
ditions and improvements. The resi-
due, If any, will be devoted to i'm
provements and repairs where needed
The ground has already been pur-
chased and paid for in the second ward
and the project OF establishing high
school, favored by very many of our
citizens, will probably be allowed to
lapse for the present. 1t is unneces-
sary to urge that these school bonds
be approved. The expenditure of the
money will be in the hands Of the
school board, and it is likely that they

SOME, republican and independent
newspapers are finding in the results
Of the late election the final blow to
silver. We do not see it that way.
There will yet be another great fight
on the issue, and the party that es-
pouses the cause of free silver two
years hence will be hopelessly defeat
ed. The republican party is and will
continue to be the sound money party.

Municipal Ownership of Mater
Works.

A Corsicans dispatch says: The
poor water service COrsicans has had
for q year or more has created q strong
sentiment here in favor of the city
owning and controlling q wsterworks
system, and It is this sentiment that
caused the council to appoint q com
mittee to draw up q special charter
which will be presented to the
nection with the water ques-
ton that OF light is also commanding
much attention, and there is q con-
siderable element that favors the city
owning it's own electric light plant
Alderman Clopton is q strong advocate
of both propositions and says that Cor
sioana's rapid growth and the large
increase in population demand that the
city should have q new charter under
which the municipality could own both
. waterworks and electric light sys-
tenn. He believes that under city con-
troll and management the people would
be given better and cheaper water and
light than they have been
receiving or will receive under the
present system. He does not believe
that artesian water will give general
satisfaction, and suggests that in the
event the city does conclude to own
water and light plants large storage
tanks be constructed sufficient to hold
enough water for all purposes and to
tide over any drought sea =on. There
are many others who agree with AL
derman 'Clopton. and 1t is among the
possibilities that the next spring cleo
tion will have the matter for an
issue.

The success of raising fax In Mexico
Is justifying the establishing of mills.
The factory at San Luis Potosi was
started in 1892. Heretofore fax from
Belfast, Ireland, has been used, but
Flax Is not indigenous to Mexico, but
it assimilates to the soil and the eli
mate in many parts 70 the republic. It
is cultivated successfully in the states
of Morelos, San Luis Potosi, Jalisco,
Guerrero, Guanajuato and Vera Cruz.
When at it's worst, flax grows
from 18 inches to feet in
height. Flax is raised not only for
the oil product, but linen is being man
ufactured In the City of Mexico and
at San Luis Potosi. The industry is
strongly protected by the Mexican ia
riff. The linen goods imported in 1897
into this country from the United
States and from Europe were valued
at 1874, $50, an increase of S150,00
over the preceding year. The best
flax grown in this country Is near Cuer-
uavaca. The flax of that locality pos
sesses the peculiar sickness and luster
characteristic of the Irish flax and
to which the American fax
is stranger. Linen goods
we're manufactured in the republic in
1892 to the amount of 1900 Kilograms,
and in 1896 to the amount of AZ 900 XII
lograms. The linseed product in 1892
was ,25O, 600 Kilograms and in 1896 it
was ZIP, 900 Kilograms. Linseed sells
at &c retail and SC Wholesale per pound,
while the oil brings 22c. Much better
prices are paid here than In the United
States.-Exchange.

Judge Holding in Giles.

The Pulaski Citizen says: Judge
Sam Holding and Attorney General
Boyd came in on time and proceeded
with the business Of Circuit Court
Monday. This being Judge Hold
ing's first appearance here as pre-
siding Judge, there was naturally
some curiosity as to how he would
preside, but he took the Judges
stand with grace and dignity as if he
were accustomed to it, and pro-
ceeded to organize the juries. His
charge to the Grand Jury was
clear exposition of the law pointing
out the duties these gentlemen are
sworn to perform. One feature of
special interest was that portion of
the charge bearing on cruelty to ami
mails. The Judge explained that it
was the duty Of the Grand Jury
when they knew of cruelty to ami
mails to return an indictment against
the offe nder that he might be pun
ished. Those who have been about
the eourt great deal say this is the
6rst time they remember to have
heard ibis subject embraced in the
Judge Scharge. We desire to COM
mend Judge Holding and hope the
jury will make careful investiga-
i0A."

Three Hundred Arrived Sunday and Went
Into Camp at South Side Park
The soldiers are here. A detach-
ment of about 300 of them, belong
ing to the First and Second Missis-
sippi, arrived last Sunday morning
about 3 o'clock from Lauderdale,
Miss, and are now bivouacked at
South Side Park. This is the ad-
vance gard of the encampment to
be located here; the balance of the
regiments, who are out on furlough,
will reach here by November IL,
having been ordered TO report for
duty here at that time.
The soldiers were busy all day
Sunday unloading their parapher-
MALTA and getting things in shape at
the camp. An interested crowd of
spectators was at the depot aud Fair
grounds, watching them at their
work.
A number of the blue coats were
well loaded with corn juice, and
several of them were of rather a
bellicose disposition. Several dis
turbances took place among them
selves, but no one was hurt. The
troops also asserted their dislike for
the negro race by making every Eth
opean who came in their way take
to their heels, and the negroes soon
learned to keep safe distance from
them.
South Side Park now presents a
busy scere, with it's white tents and
blue coats, and the boys are becoming
we'll acquainted with the city. They
express themselves as we'll pleased
with the camp site.
