again: There was nothing i'm

watched with interest to see what
American management can do with OPP
portunities that have proved such a
boon for foreign cities. Municipal con-
troll of street railways is not an untried
thing on this continent The eminent
ly successful experience of Toronto has
often been cited as an example that it
not only pays the municipality, which
receives a large income from the prof
its OF the roads but enabled ii to grant
low rates to wOrkingmen and school
children during certain hours of the
day that make suburban property in
demand and enable the city's poor to
enjoy better and cheaper homes than
in almost any other large community
in America. The low fares have also
increased the patronage of the lines to
tne profit of the city and the pleasure
of its people Thus q triple benefit is
derived in municipal Profit, individual
profit TO landlords and tenants, and
increased convenience to the general
public incident to lew fares and non
mercenary service. Important in the
discussion of this subject, also, IS the
experience Of Glasgow, Scotland,
which grows better yearly. That city
reports that the net profits Of the street
railways, operated by the city authori-
ties, was last year S416,335, after all
interest charges on the cost of the
plant had been paid Not only has the
city developed that the street cars are
a great source of revenue to meet the
expenditures of government, but it has
been enabled to reduce fares to a cent
for worlingmen during certain hours;
to shorten the hours and increase The
ray of the tramway employees, and TO
extend the lines from time to time. It
is plain why a municipal corporation
can effect economies in management
sufficient to bring about these ideal
conditions. The Toronto and Glasgow
roads, unlike the majority of American
roads, are not loaded down with stocks
and bonds representing no tangible in
vestment, and they are not expected to
pay big salaries TO officers who render
li3tle service and could easily be dis
pensed with. The enc and only worthy
argument against the municipal owner
ship of street railways is that it opens
a new avenue for corruption under our
lax American methods Of city manage
ment, but that argument is not worthy
of much consideration in view of the
fact that scores of American cities now
employ honest management of their
own gas, eiectric and water plants.
What can be done in one city ought to
be possible in others.

The resources of Senator Quay and
his strength among the voters of
Pennsylvania are matters of perennial
surprise to the country as they must
be TO the fees Of the man in the pres
ent senatorial fight Since the dead
lock began eight counties have elected
Quay delegates to the conventions of
the republican party soon to be held,
and not one has chosen delegates IA
voring the cabal against him The
latest of these victories was in Ian
caster county, the banner republican
division Of the state, which went for
Quay q few days ago by the emphatic
majority Of 1000. These victories do
not Immediately affect the senatorial
contest, except in a neral way; but
they make it probable that when the
conventions are held the friends Of the
senator will be able to pass ringing res
oluticns demanding his election. Mr.
Quay will therefore have the added
prestige coming from popular endorse
ment, and it viii at least stiffen his
lines if it does not shake those of his
foes, thus prolonging the deadlock IN
less he sees fit to withdraw in favor Of
some one upon whom all the repubh-
can legislators can unite.

PHOENIX, APRIL Q. 1859.
ANNEXATION NECESSARY.


The fire yesterday in La Villa Place
demonstrated beyond any question the
need of extension of the city limits
over all the nearby additions. The
fire was but two blocks beyond the
northern boundary OF the city. When
the fire apparatus reached the city line
it halted 1t could not go farther
without permission of Une city author
tiles Permission was finally given
and the department. saved much
valuable property. There were no
fire Plugs in the immediate vicinity
of the blaze, but fortunately the Salt
River Valley canal was full and the
engine, was enabled to throw powerful
streams. The expense Cf turning out
the department, of operating the ma
chinery and of repairing the damage
that occurred to some of the apparatus
will have to be borne by the city. The
residents of the addition whose prep
erty was endangered are not obliged
to contribute a cent
Every person who saw the fire
knows that but for the permission
granted by the acting mayor to the
fire department the loss of property
would have been much more extensive.
In view of the fact that majority of
the property owners of La Villa Place
are opposed to annexation the action of
the mayor undoubtedly will be criti-
cized There are many people in this
town who believe that if the additions
refuse to be incorporated in the city
they should not look to the city for aid
in an emergency Mke that of ye3ter-
day.
The city of Phocnix is try
ing to make a showing in the
nextmne tional census report by annex
il ditions whose residents enjoy
md pf the advantages afforded by
clos proximity to the city and
yet e fighting the annexation plan
on the purely selfish ground that union
will bring increased taxation. Its op-
ponents declare that there is nc good
ground for annexation. Yesterdays
fire supplies the best of reasons fof
speedy annexation There are hundreds
of fine residences in the nearby addi
tons that have no protection against
fire. Under existing conditions any or
all of them might burn while the fire
department rested a stones throw
away. The additions are dependent
upon the city absolutely. They would
not be desirable for residence purposes
but for their contigu.ty to the city.
There could be nc speculative value in
them if the city proper were to be elm
mated. Their residents gain their Hv-
ing in the city. Every consideration of
decency and fairness and Of public
spirit favors annexation. If the mex:
census Is taken with the additions not
incorporated in the city Phoenix will
not show any growth in population
worth mentioning, and viii suffer in
prestige and in business. Investors
will fight shy of a city that, according
to the census report, has practically
stood still for ten years. Annexation
would increase the population by sew
eral thousands. For the sake of the
fair fame of the town let this opposi-
tion to annexation cease. Let us have
a united city and reap a common ben
eft.

The special spring edition OF the
Phoenix Republican, dated March 81,
was probably the best general write-up
of all Arizona ever published. Each

all industries, such as mining, stock
raising, agriculture, horticulture, etc,
are handled by experts on the differ
ent subjects and each one is given
