Majority,

William F. Aidlige, the Democratic
candidate for Alderman at-Large, and
Ferdinand Hentze, one of the Democratic
Street and Water Board nominees, will
address the Ninth Ward Democratic Club
tonight The objects of the meeting is to
indorse the whole Democratic ticket and
to learn from Mr. Midlige and Mr.. Heintze
their views on the petition to have Pa
vonia avenue from the Pennsylvania Rail-
road cut to West Side avenue opened and
improved.
The effort to have the avenue opened
was started two years ago, but at the
most inopportune times something would
turn up that would result in definite ac-
ton being postponed. A month ago the
street and Water Board took the neces-
sary step. When the resolutions reached
the Finance Board they struck snag
and they are now tied Up in that Board.
The objector this time is c. c. Van
Reipen. He appears to think that to i'm
prove the avenue east Of Tonnelle ave-
nue. will be a waste of money. All ths
others owners of property on the avenue,
sixteen in number. want the Improvement
made
The situation has been argued before
the Finance Board and the indications are
that the Improvement will finally be
made Mr. Midlige has promised to do all
in his power
Public School No. % is on the lower
end of Payonia avenue and the idea of
improving the thrdoroughfare is princi-
pally 10 make the school easy of access.
That there has been so much delay is
due entirely to the fact that there has
been some misrepresentation of the true
condition of affairs Whether this was in
tentionaI or otherwise it has operated
against the improvement.
The property owners are interested n
the Improvement. Mayor Hoos has pron.-
ised to 90 .gnat he can for them and for
his stand has won their commendation.
3Ir. Midlge has looked into the subjec-
and vii doubtless tell the Pavonia ave-
rue residents something that will interest
Them.
The records of the Street and Water
Board sllosr shat every application for an
fla3reveEnent which carries with it benefit
has neel promptly acted upon
The Fsrance Commissioners, too, have
allar-s shown a DISPOSITION to advance
improvements. 1t is quite probable that
tile Pavonia avenue improvement will be
disposed of this week The opening and
Improvement Of the avenue will, the Pc
titioners say, result in a rapid but sub
stantial advance in property valuations

Alderman-at-Large Midlige is making
the most vigorous fight of any of the
Democratic nominees. He is making a
house to house canvass. While hustling
for himself he does not forget to say a
good word for the other Democratic can
didates. Mr.. Midlige wants to run even
with the head of the ticket.

peCoS Valley Road.

The rumor Is current that the Santa
Fe company will take charge of the
Pecos Valley road on August first and
operate it in its own name. The Santa
Fe owns the new line from Amarillo,
Texas, to Roswell, sad it is a good
business proposition to have charge of
the line south from Roswell to Pecos
City, where the road connects with
the Southern Pacific. 1t is safe to pre-
dict that when the Santa Fe gets con-
troll of the Pecos Valley road, a "cut-
off" will be built from the line east Of
this city to Albuquerque. This short
line In eastern New Mexico would
closely connect the Santa Fee system of
roads in the southwest, aud is sure to
be built in the near future.-Albu-

An official of the Mexican Central
railway company is quoted by the Bos-
ton Transcript as follows: 1.-THE COM
munication of the large earnings is
somewhat surprising to us, for this is
generally the season of the year when
earnings fall off; not that the business
ia not there, but the excessive rains
cause washOuts and interfere with the
traffic of the road. It Is apparent that
the Mexican Central will not show q
deficit for the first six months of this
year of above $4,000, whereas last
year the deficit for the first six months
WAS S20O,OO0 For the first five months
of this year We have been receiving
about 40 cents for Mexican dollars,
against 461 cents last year. We are
now receiving about 484@4S3 cents.
The refunding of the Mexican debt will
be beneficial to the country and will be
reflected Indirectly in general bust
ness. We look for q gradual apprecia-
ton in the price of silver. 1t is about
the only commodity which has not ad-
vanced commensurate with the i'm
provement in general business condi-

There are many wonderful little con-
trivances in the chops, which when
working would greatly amaze and in
terest an outsider. One of these pieces
of machinery was displayed to the AL
buquerque Journal-Democrat reporter
yesterday. It is the hydraulic press
used to force car wheels on the axle and
whereby q pressure of several tons can
be applied to the parts and force on q
wheel whose inside measurement is q
newspaper thickness lees than the axle
upon which it fits. 1t is needless to
say the wheel ia on to stay, and it can
not be removed without reversing 1t
and applying the power the other way.
Such precision is exercised in turning
the axle and in trimming down the in
side of the wheel that the pressure re-
quired to force them together practic-
ally does not vary in different wheels.
When one stops to consider that every
part of the cars and engines being
worked by the shop men is handled in
the same careful scientific manner, one
will not much wonder at the durability
and symmetry of the different parts OF

Barred From Public Office.

An Auburn, Indiana. dispatch in the
Globe Democrat says: A general or
der from the superintendent of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad was plac-
ed in conspicuous splaces about the
shops at Garrett yesterday, which is
causing considerable comment among
the men of that city who are holding
Offices of public trust. The order for
bids it's employees from becoming can
didates for any public Office or holding
the same. The order. if strictly en-
forced, will make a vacancy in the Car
rett scohol board, for city clerk and
three members of the city council,
these positions being filed at present
by employees of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. A similar order was issued
several years ago, but was never
strictly enforced. This one, however,
ia being widely discussed. :.

Colorado's Secretary of State Has
Struck Lead That Promises to
Yield Well.

Denver, July 2S.-Secretary OF State
Beckwith, who has been on still hunt
for revenues for the state for some
time, seems to have struck lead which
bids fair to yield considerable
amount. A number of large corpora
tions are said to be doing business In
the sta.e without having paid the full
fee required by the state. One OF
these is the Pullman Palace Car com.
psny. The company filed its papers in
Colorado in 1892 showing its capital
stock to be 100000. Since that time
the company has increased its stock to
S54, 100, 600. The fee due the state ia

proposes to collect. He thinks he may

continue an oppression, and that there
is no other recourse except govern
ment ownership, Is to surrender the
very principle on which this govern.
ment is founded.
In England. where railroading has
been reduced to finer art than In
America, we find the whole transpor-
tstion interests consolidated into two
great systems. In practical effect the
only railroads in all England are the
Great Northern and the Great Western
and these two are really operated as
one England found that the way to
solve the railroad problem was not to
fight the consultations, but to en-
courage them, and then use the strong
arm of the government to enforce fair
treatment of the people. The result
is that in Great Britain there are no
secret cut rates. no DETERMINATIONS,
no commissions, and no advantages OF
any sort to be given to favored ship
pers. The result is, too, that reason,
able rates prevail everywhere, and
that the monopolies are forced to stay
content with low profits. And why
shouldn't we be willing to learn from
England in this regard? L. there any
sense in rushing into the desperate ex-
pedient of government ownership be-
fore we have tried the simple means
which lay at our ands. ..---
We are pretty generally assured by
railroad managers that they would
gladly welcome any system of gov.
eminent control that would correct the
evils now existing. Many of them are
weary Of the cut-throat tactics which
have followed the, trans Missouri de:
cision. They want only fair profits and
will not com bat the lawmaking which
seeks to establish the uniform rates
and to stop the DETERMINATIONS. They
will fight for their lives against the
confiscatory measures which have
come in the past and may come in the
future at the hands of demagogues OF
ignoramuses, but we confidently be-
lieve that they will meet half way any
proposition which promises to solve
the transportation in good faith and on
sound business principles.
