1t is no use abusing the executive for
running the tug Eleu. The appropria-
ton for it was made by the Legisla-
ture and only the Legislature can
sweep it away. The tug has done good
service in the past when there were no
private tugs. AS soon as the Legisla-
ture meets it can do away with the
government tug, but it is to be hoped
that another tug besides the Fearless
Will be in the harbor as that would give
her a monopoly over which there could
be no control as to charges. We know
something about monopoly in the mat
ter of meat, the telephone, ice and the
street cars. One of these has already
met competition with an advantage to
the public, and two others will soon
meet it with like advantage.

coined by everyone in the city. Nothing

seemed worth living and when every
thing animate might rejoice and hymn
