A correspondent of the Boston Trans
cript describes the conditions under
which municipal ownership of public
utilities produce good results. He says
Those who scrutinize the various
municipal enterprises of Glasgow are
Immediately confronted with the mani
fest and impressive fact that ideal con-
ditions prevail on which to found a
model system of municipal administra-
ton Party politics, as is well under
stood, have no place in the civic govern
ment. Such things as bribery. corrup-
ton, jobbery and inefficiency are prac-
tically unknown. There is a native and
cultivated public spirit, a high sense of
individual integrity, commercial morali-
ty, and an elevated conception of
municipal responsibility. Public posts
are held as trusts The public business
is conducted by the peoples representa-
tives with even greater care and atten-
eaon than they would give to their own"

England they will visit the Paris ex-
position, and after doing" that, will
start on a tour through Germany,
France, Switzerland and italy. The
Passion play at Oberammergau will be

EARLY EXTRA SESSION.
Beckham Men Make Concessions on
GoebeI Law.

Lexington, Ky, July 19.-At the con-
ference in Senator Blackburn's room,
which lasted until almost a. m, and
at which Governor Beckham was repre-
scented, it was agreed to recommend an
early extra session of the legislature for
the purpose of amending the Goebel
election law. The result of this confer
ence has been generally accepted today
by the Beckham men and it has reliev-
ed them from embarrassment over the
only plank in the platform that was in
dispute. This plan leaves the whole
matter to the legislature without any
specific declaration of the convention as
to how the modification of the election
law shall be made. Meanwhile the OPP
position say that the Beckham men have
made this concession under protest and
will not work sincerely in the legislature
for a satisfactory modification of the
law.

Indianapolis News: Republic or en-
pire? Some people are shouting But
there is no such alternative. Nobody
IS in favor of changing the republic to
an empire; and the thing can not be
done unless somebody wants to do it.
In the old day when any one spoke in
favor of equal civil rights for the
negroes, the opponents would shrek
out, as a conclusive argument: do you
want your daughter to marry Mig
ger7'' The question was false in its
implication and suggestion; it was a
senseless appeal to prejudice. Similarly
false in all essentials is the question,
Republic or empire?"

showing tendency to cross their
