A Lie Nailed.

In yesterdays issue OF the Times APP
peared the following statement:
'Mr. Everett Smith, in an interview
with a representative of this paper today,
said TO my personal knowledge the
munications for insertion in its columns
favoring the Northern Pacifics PROPOSE
ton Of establishing freight yards, under
cover of the offer of a depot. on our water
'front.'"
II Mr.. Everett Smith is reported false
ly by the Times. as he says that he is,
he may settle 1t with that paper. If he
is reported truly, he Ia q deliberate. un-
qualified and wilful liar.
The Post-Intelligencer has solicited
no communications except through its
columns, has printed such and only such
communications on the depot PROPOSE
ton as came to 1t in the ordinary
course Of letters to the editor, when
signed by persons known or supposed
to be residents or taxpayers of Seattle.
Every assertion in the sentence quoted
above, and every other assertion in the
alleged interview that follows 1t is a
faisehood in whole and in part, in letter
and in spirit.
This IL all that we need say to the
decent people Of Seattle; and, rs we
have no prediction for billingsgate, it
is naturally less than others who are
blackguards deserve.

Mr.. Bryan writes to an admirer in
this state that it may be impossible for
him to come to the Pacific coast in
February. as he expected. Still. 1t is
quite probable that he will be making
speeches elsewhere. and there is some
chance that part of what he says will
be published in the newspapers of the
country. The people of Washington
may not see him, but they will have an
opportunity to read little IL not too
much Of what he has to impart on is
sues alive and dead.

Franchise Objections Considered,

We surrender to Mr.. Cotterill this
presenting the objections to the grant
of a consolidated street railway fran
chise, because he has covered the
ground and said the last word there is
to say on that side of the question. In
a matter of such large public interest,
1t Is proper that those of differing opin-
ions should be heard: and the argument
of Mr.. Cotterill seems to US to supply a
strong and final argument in favor of
the franchise, since he fails entirely to
make out case. His matter is volum-
inous, but every point contained adj
mits of brief explanation and dismissal.
First, that repair and construction
are going forward at present. AS far
as this is true, 1t hangs upon the belief
of the owners that a franchise would
be granted because public opinion favor
and public need demands II. In the case
of the Traction company. Improvements
have been made because its franchise
has now forty-four years to run. 1t is
business certainty that nothing more
will be done in the way of betterments
than is necessary for bare operation
of lines whose franchises have a life
of only fourteen or fifteen years. This
is mere business proposition, appli-
<,oh Ia 90 IN l,alI
under lease.
Second, we are pointed to forfeiture
of franchise as remedy. The people
do not wish an injustice. 1t Is known
that street railways in Seattle have not
been paying properties. The income an
ticipated when they were built in 1889
and 1890 has not been realized. Several
of them have narrowly avoided receiv-
erships and are earning no dividends
today. People who suffered themselves
in hard times have not felt 1t just to
apply the severest measures to con-
Germs struggling against bankruptcy
More important Is 1t to remember that
the forfeiture of franchise is pun
ishment to the company, but is no rem
edy or relief for the public. This fact
disposes of the major portion Of Mr..
Cotterills letter. suppose the council
declare a franchise forfeited tomorrow;
what happens? If the courts sustain
the action. all service must cease i'm
mediately. The city obtains no right to
tracks or rolling stock. These remain

From this day the aspect OF OPPOSE

changes. Hitherto It has been possible
to make allowances. Men of diverse
views might entertain honestly their
separate opinions. There could be char
ity for the sentimental. and even
wearied tolerance for the man who
thought that this was an occasion for
devotion to party at the cost OF patriot
ism. That extenuation no longer exists.
No patriot can afford to join hands with
the traitor and the assassin. Better

country, made greater gain than we.
Our total clenrances for 1899. accord

none can question, were s10ss27,e21. as
against $6s,4ls.es0 in 1898. The increase
in eighty OF the principal cities Of the
country was ss.5 per cent. The gain of
Seattle was 81 per cent. Not only the
absolute but the relative Significance of
these figures is cause for congratula-
ton. In period when nearly all the
cities of the nation are advancing rap
idly, we are at the very front. In our
own section we eclipse the lively prog
ress Of Spokane. are out Of sight of the
trifiing gain Of Tacoma, and breathe a
sigh Of pity for poor old Portland, which
otherwise practically universal gains.
In single year Seattle has risen from
forty-second to thirty-second in the list.
while Portland has fallen from thirtieth
to thirty-Afth. The difference is SO
great now that there can scarcely be
said to be rivalry between the cities.
Seattle has but one competitor now

doubt that. a few years hence. the COM

We do not say that all the commissions
ideas should be embodied in the law.
Its suggestion of q uniform classifica-

sweeping; and in the opinion Of many
well-informed and reasonable railroad
men, It IL impracticable. But on the
other hand It IL perfectly clear that the
roads should rot be left to do Indirectly
what they are forbidden to do directly;
to make general advance Of rates. as
some eastern lines have done, by
changes in classincations which the
commission cannot control. The people
should bring pressure to bear upon their

STREET. RAILWAY FRAN
CHIsEs.

Seattle Jan. Is, 1900.
To the Editor: Your leading editorial OF
Sundays issue brings clearly before the
people Of Seattle the franchise side OF the
street railway situation. II the facts OF
the case corresponded with your premises,
there might be something to justify the
conclusion in favor of granting the thirty
fye-year consolidated franchise. Relying
upon your sense Of fairness as displayed In
affordIng q field for open discussion OF
the Northern Pacific proposition, l ask
the privilege OF citizen who has given
the subject some thought, to review the
street railway situation from the anti
franchise standpoint.
Taking the case as presented by your edi-
torial It may be summarized as follows:
First-The lines proposed to be consoli-.
them with tracks out Of repair. poor
equipment and render a service that calls
out protest both indignant ana just.
There can be no Improvement without new
capital and there will be no new capitaI
without new franchise.
Second-The existing companies have
"franchises that cannot be taken from
them" having in one ease ease aa ftesn r ronr
ton Company forty-fve years yet to run
Under these 1--WE may count upon SIP
shod and insufficient service for at least
city Twin derive not one penny of rev.
enue," except per cent on the Traction
Companys gross earnings, land that be-
gins only after ten years."
Third-The consolidated company asks a
general franchise for thirty-five years, or
zone franchise Is extended twenty years,
four for nineteen years. and one II cut
down ten years I'm return the people get
good service. $i,5ool0oo improvements. uni.
versal transfer system and not less than 2
per cent Of the gross earnings paid into
the civ treasury" This would mean at
least $4,000 annually at once" and with
ordinary increase of business 1t may rise
to $4,000 or $4,000 the first year"
Fourth-Municipal ownership Is unwise
and in any event impracticable. Purchase
Is out Of the question; II is fifteen years
before the first franchise expires; there
fore, municipal ownership, applied to exist
ing conditions. means the maintenance of
present facilities and service indefinitely
to the distress Of our people and the in
jury of our city,"
Upon these premises you base a very
natural conclusion "that public opinion
having become acquainted with the facts
and weighed all the considerations. stands
decidedly in favor of the approval Of the
franchise ordinance by the council"

Now let us look into the facts little
further, referring to them in the order in
which have summarized your review of
them:
First-The lines proposed to be CONSOLE
dated include the following with mileage
in round numbers as stated:
