"VeSted Rights"

THE Globe-Democrat, in com
menting on some sermons referring
to the street ear strike said:
Another clergyman took the
other extreme and based his argu-
ment on us it not lawful for me
to do what | will with mine own"
a very respectful portion of the
people do not believe that mime
own" can be rs strictly applied to
Il public franchise as to business
which secures no grant from the
city. A street railway corporation
has certain duties to perform to-
ward the public, and it cannot do
as it pleases with mine own"
The preacher overlooked this feat
IRE of the subject. Even the com
pany does not claim absolute
rights; it is aware of its obliga-
TONS"
This is SO contrary to the
doctrine generally preached by the
Globc-Democrat and its party that
its admission causes surprise. The
usual argument of the CD. and
its class has been that person or
corporation having once secured II
public franchise acquires vested
right in the privilege, and if the

ings place where only two women
have ever lived. Lying at pier No. 10
Port Richmond, Philadelphia, dis,
charging her cargo OF $50 tons OF
chrome ore, is the trim little Halifax
schooner Satellite, commanded by
Capt. Mckenzie, a man who has ex-
perenced many thrilling adventures
while navigating the Newfoundland
coast, whence this vessel came with
settlement In Newfoundland known as
Bluff Head, situated thirty miles east
southeast from Port au Port, and a
place where but two women ever were
known to live. Capt. Mckenzie says
that the chrome ore mines were dis
covered only three years ago They
are now worked by British and Ameri-
can capitalists. The ore on board the
Satellite Is valued In its crude state In
excess Of $50 ton, and is the richest
grade which ever has been brought
into Philadelphia, owing to the limit
cd facilities for vessels reaching the
place, the largest cargo that has ever
been shipped is 800 tons and at that
time the vessel was seven weeks load
ing. The mines from which this ore
is taken are situated on the tops OF
cliffs rising 500 feet above the level of
the sea, and Capt. Mckenzie had to
work his vessel in and anchor her
under these cliffs on shoal area con
tanning six fathoms of water The
method OF loading is primitive, the ore
being conveyed down the mountain
side in small wagons drawn by power
full horses. From the shore 1t is
brought out In boats. Capt. McKen-
zie's last visit to Philadelphia was
twenty-three years ago. AT that
time" said the old skipper yesterday,
you would not see two steamers from
the time you entered the Delaware
capes till you passed to sea again.

Might have known it, but didn't
think of it in just that light, you

plain now. Some Oncry cuss sends
me a marked copy Of the Carter

comparative statement of the prize

Last year the price of zine was
$40 30 per ton, this year $50; lead
last year $26, this year $22 80!
Wouldn't that satisfy you of the
necessity of the raise in prices! !!
With zinc 40 per cent less and
