Common Councils Doings.

About the only thing that enlivenet
common council meeting last evening
were the addresses of jeremiah O'1earn

question. The former said he was not
out for favors but simple justice, and
desired to know why other agents had
been given more than he.
Leonard Campbell, chairman of the
committee that made the recommenda-
ton, said it was because Mr.. O'Hearn
had made no application.
p. f. Mofntt called attention to the
fact that he has been a taxpayer for
years and that his parents before him
had been, hence he thought ne was en-
titled to big slice and said he
wouldn't be backward about asking for
it all If he thought they would give it

you have saved my life and cured me
OF that awful disease dropsy of the

Making Rapid Strides In Providing
Street Railroad Facilities.
Have Heretofore Becn the Most Hack.
ward In This Respect-"Municlp
S0cialism" Seems TO ale Abroad
In the Land.

United States Consul Boyle, at Liv.
erpool. has communicated to the state
department some very interesting in
formation respecting the great change
that has taken place in England in the
matter of street railways. He says
that from being one of the most back
ward in the matter of providing such
accommodations the cities of Great
Britain are now moving on an enor-
nous scale towards their construction.
He describes this movement as one
feature of the remarkable municipal
socialism" which is taking possession
Of British cities, verifying the COM
mcnt Of Lord Rosebery that the Lon
don common council was conducting
the greatest experiment in practical
socialism the world had ever seen. Not
content with municipal ownership of
street railroads, electric and gas light
ing plants, water supply and tele-
phones in several cities, the municipal
corporations build dwellings for work
ingmen, run hotels and erect mag
niflcent baths. In Liverpool the coun-
ell has gone so far as to charge part Of
what should be the rent from munich
pal houses occupied by working men
as homes against the taxes of the COM
munity.
Referring to the subject of electric
street railways, Mr.. Boyle says that
the first line was started in Liverpool
few days ago, and describes the
equipment. For the benefit Of Amer
ican manufacturers of electric plants,
fittings and rails, the consul sets forth
the best means for these to put them
selves in position to secure valuable
contracts, though he points out a
strong prejudice on the part Of a
large class of people In the cities
against the award of contracts to for
eigners. The Liverpool line is an over
head trolley, q committee of experts
claiming to have discovered that the

eral other systems of electric car pro-
pulsion which have been brought for
ward in England as novelties, but
which are well-known here, such as
the surface contact system. A scheme
under way, he says, 10 to connect Lis-
pool with all the manufacturing towns
within q radius Of II miles by light
suburban electric street railroads,
which will carry passengers in the day
time and freight at night.
