awakening to the value of these char
tiers and to their rights in the premises.
Let us hope that Wheeling is among
these wide-awake cities and will here
after grant no valuable franchise to
any corporation without at least a
quid pro quo in cash, and prescribing
the quality of service and rates charged
for it, while reserving the right to go
into the business itself whenever the
people SO elect.
All these points should be fully COW
cred by the ordinance of the Peoples
Railway Company, which is asking a
franchise of this city. If this charter
is so good a thing the people, whose
property it is, should have their full
share of it. 1t would be nothing short
of criminal folly to give it away.
Not the least of the points, which the
Register has already referred to in de-
tail, is the matter of cheaper fares. 1t
has been sufficiently demonstrated that
street car lines can make money and
charge but three cent fares. Only last
week the Municipal Street Railway
of Detroit, in promoting which Gov.
Pingree is interested, arranged for
three cent fares with the owners of the
striving by might and main to secure
municipal ownership. The perman-
ency of the three cent fare plan in that
case depends on the city council of De-
troit, as it will depend in our own case
on the city council of Wheeling. AS
soon as the Detroit council adopts the
municipal railway ordinance, which is
being fought bitterly by the street
car trust, an effort will be made to Sc
cure a special session of the Legisla-
ture for the purpose of providing for
the submission of constitutional
amendment to the people permitting
the city of Detroit to go into the NUM-
cipal ownership of street railways
What determined action in Detroit
has done thus far, determined action in
Wheeling can do as we'll. United pub
lie sentiment is behind this move and
Council cannot afford to ignore it in
granting the proposed franchise to the
Peoples Railway Company. While
we may let us secure cheaper fares, bet
ter service, full compensation for the
city's franchise, with provision for
municipal ownership when the people
shall so elect.

United States, and by the agent Of an

the Chicago Record, an independent

The late James G. Blaine used to be
criticised as a jingo and a dangerous
man to entrust with power because he
was fearless in upholding American
rights abroad. If these critics thought
Mr.. Blaine's foreign policy dangerous,
wonder what they think of McKinley's
policy of Imperialism and conquest and
his pledge of the support of the United
States government to the monopolistlc
scheme of a syndicate that has cor
ruptly gobbled a section of the territory
of China, thus openly inviting another
war-not for American trade, but for
the maintenance of corrupt monopoly!

WALL STREET. CHINA.

| Of course when Simon Wall street
saws Thumbs up!" up go the pair OF
| thumbs in the White House. They went
I'D all right and very promptly when
| the American China Development Com
pany gave the word that it wanted the
i@protection of the American government
in its schemes of loot in the FloWery
Kingdom, and Mr.. Mckinley has In
structed his Minister at Picking to use
his good offices "in behalf of the Amer
ican-China Development Company and
to prevent spoliation or injury to lis
interests"
What does this act of the President
mean? Simply that the government OF
the United States is to back syndicate
of Mr.. Hanna's campaign contributors
who have secured from corrupt Chinese
officials an undeveloped concession
transferring sovereignty over portion
of the Chinese empire from China to
this Wall street syndicate, the Presi-
intention to use the force of the United
States to protect this syndicate and to
interfere if need be to prevent China
from refusing to carry out the immoral
and infamous contract!
1t would be bad enough if Mr.. Nc
Kinley proposed to permit this depre-
dation in the name of the United States
and to hand over a section of the Chi
nese territory by these immoral means
to control of the American government;
but he proposes to compel China to
stand and deliver this domain to pri-
vate monopoly-Wall street million
aires who furnished money to elect him
and whom he doubtless expects to fur
nish more money for his second term
campaign.
No one can tell what this act of the
administration may result in or what
complications it may lead our govern
ment into. 1t means, doubtless, more
American soldiers and more of the
American taxpayers money to compel
China to abide by a corrupt bargain
and submit to the will of the Wall
street monopoly.
1t is difficult to see how this can
end except in forcing the United States
into a war in China to compel submit
sion to the exactions of this monopoly.
This is the first time that anything
of this character has ever been done by
an American President. Never before
has the American government recog-
nized foreign concessions, which
would be tantamount to interfering in
the internal affairs of a foreign nation.
. 1t is truly imperial step-not in be-
half of the extension of American soy
ereignty or trade. but to promote the
money getting scheme of a monopoly
and to enforce the carrying out of an
immoral contract
