MAY SELL FRANCHISES.
New Solution Found for Vexed Questions
Before the Council

A new solution has been discovered
for the many problems growing out of
the requests for the franchises now
pending before the City Council. This
solution is to refer the matte to the
people in accordance with the law
passed by the legislature in 1897. The
law provides for granting to the City
Councils of cities the right to dispose
of franchises to the highest bidder.
The manner in which this must be
done is given in section 8 of the law as
follows:
This act shall apply to and be in
force in all cities and villages which
shall so determine in the manner
following. If a petition signed by ten
per cent of the duly qualified electors
of any city or village according to the
next previous poll list thereof, be filed
with the Clerk of 2such city or village,
twenty days before any municipal or
general election therein praying that
the question of selling franchises under
the provisions of this act be submitted
to vote of the people, such Clerk
shall print in the official ballot to be
used at such election the question
''Shall this city or village adopt the
provisions of Chapter = of the laws OF
1897, regulating the selling of fran
chises" the answer of the electors to
be eyes or no, written in the space
provided therefore in the ballot. If a
majority of the electors voting on such
question, vote yes, then all franchises
thereafter granted by such city or vii
lagos shall be sold as provided in the
act. The operation of this act may be
revoked by the vote of the people taken
in the same manner as above provided"
An effort is being made to have such
petition presented to the City Clerk
before the approaching municipal
election.

their way to this country. The terrible
strain and climatic conditions that
Dewey has endured since the first OF
last May might well have proved too
much for a younger and stronger man,
and Admiral Dewey, it must be re-
membered, is 81 years old. All naval
work of Importance in the Philippines
is now over, except patrol duty or oc-
casional Smelling of the insurgents, aud
it is not usual to keep an officer of the
highest rank on such duty. His place
on the Philippine commission can be
filled, if not so well as he fills it, at
least satisfactorily, and his counsel at
Washington would be Invaluable in the
progress of the paciication of the
Philippines.
But whether he can be readily
eoared at Manila or not, he has done
his full share of glorious work in active
service and is entitled to rest. More
over, President Mckinley cannot afford
to allow Admiral Dewey, even under a
noble, but mistaken sense of duty, to
sacrifice himself. The love and ad
miration of the American people have
gone out to this brave, modest, indom
liable hero and brilliant commander as
they have rarely, if ever, gone out to
any other man in American history.
In view, therefore, of Admiral Dewey's
great services and the irreparable loss
his death at the present time would be
to the American navy and the American
people, the hero of Manila should at
once be relieved from duty until his
health is fully restored. His own
disiAclination to leaving his post
should, under all the circumstances, be
overruled, both for his own sake and
the best interests of the country he has
served so we'll. -Chicago Tribune.

Dewey Should be Recalled.

The Tribune's dispatch yesterday
from Vancouver, B. c., and its Wash
ington correspondence of this morning
in regard to Admiral Dewey are of
grave import to all Americans, as they
clearly show that the health, and even
the life, of the greatest naval hero since
Nelson are being imperiled by his con-
tinuanca at his post of duty in the
Philippines. Captain Fraser, of Lon
don, who arrived at Vancouver on
Wednesday direct from Manila, as re-
ported in the Tribune's dispatch OF
yesterday, says:
I dined with him at Manila within a
month, and am convinced that if he is
not relieved of the terrible strain i'm
posed upon him he cannot last month
longer. As he sat at the banquet
table, surrounded by hisstaff, he looked
to me like dying man. His hair is
snowy white, his face ashen, and he
ate hardly anything.

the grave, disQuieting Iumors in regard
to the health of the hero of Manila

FIRST by it's own order the Spanish
government imprisoned Cervera in
Santiago harbor, then by it's own order
it subjected the Admiral and his fleet
to destruction by American guns, and
now, because against his own will and
better judgment he implicitly obeyed
his country's mandates, it dishonors
him by again ordering him to prison.
Truly to the Spaniard the service of
