The arelations, of the Montgomery Street Railway to the municipality will come up again in the next few AISs. if our information is correct. The re- port Is that the Street Railway pro-
 poses to have it's ordinance. for the
 connection of the West End line and
 the old system. passed over. Mayor Joseph's veto. {
 The community generally, we believe,
 has endorsed Mayor Joseph for his manly course in looking after the peo-' ple's interest in this matter. He un- doubtedly did the right thing. and he
 probably had sbundsnt expressions from the community as the cause of his decision.
 It is very plain that the Street Rail-
 way Is not amenable to ordinary argu- ments or to persuasion. It has done nothing progressive that it was not forced into doing. It is absorbing all 1t can from the community and giving just as little in return ax can be squeezed out of It. It Is making such q comfortable income out of Its ipvest- ment that 1t wants nearly a half mill lion dollars for a property that did not cost it's owners over $2S0.000 that can be duplicated with the best ma terial and equipment for less than that. Notwithstanding it's President an- nouncei that franchises are the cheap est thing in the market. he has been holding the gifts of the city to his com pany for a profit of about s2o0,00o.
 In this state of things. there is but one policy for the municipality to pur- sue. To use the old saw. it must fight
 the devil with fire If the Street Rail-
 way Is a dog in the manager, which will not give this growing city decent esstem and will not take a handsome profit from people who have offered to take hold and provide an up-to-date system, then it is clear that the muni- cipality must accept the situation and handle it intelligentiy and firmly. No sort of consideration or facility should be given the Street Railway until it wakes up and shows itself worthy of liberal treatment.
 The only argument brought forward in this juneture by the Street Railway is that the facilities asked for will
 afford convenience to the public in get- ting from one line to the other. This is a meager advantage, that would De felt by a small minority of the citi- zens. But even if 1t were considerable and very desirable. the public could
 afford to forego the advantage for a period sufficient for the Street Railway l to be brought to its senses. It must be made to understand that the chief chises which were gifts With the im- piled obligation that they were to be | used jn the advancement and upbuild- ing of the city. AS long as it is too thick-skinned. or stubborn, or penuri- l ous to realize its obligations. the city should never give it another franchise or facility to strengthen the monopoly | 1t holds now.
 The Council has been pursuing this i firm. determined policy with the Street Railway for over a year, and in that period has forced more consideration for the public from that corporation
 than in all past years put together. ! Where is the wisdom in abandoning
 this policy now? By all means the | Council should stick to its old policy
 and sustain Mayor Joseph's veto.

The Chattanooga Times thus calls at asntion to a small inconsistency of which one of our one-time prominent statesmen has been guilty:
 Mir Bryan, the other day, denounced MT. Cleveland for securing the repeal of khe silver purchase law in 1893. But MT. Cleyeland's platform of 1892 contained thii section: We denounce the Republican zegfslation known as the Sherman act of 1890 as a cowardly make-shift, fraught with possibilities of danger to the flu kure. which should make all its support CTS. as well as its author, anxious for its repeal" Mir. Bryan holds that the last platform a party adopts is its chart. it's law. to the exclusion of all former plat forms. According to this doctrine of MT. . Bryan MT. Cleveland would have been a traitor to his platform and party had he hesitated a moment about getting rid of fhe silver purchase law. Ii Mir. Bryan will give Cleveland the benefit of the Bry- an rule, he will not be able to crtticise Ahis particular part of the ex-Presfdent s record.
 But he won't. He wants to aim his gun so as to hit Mir. Cleveland and not hit himself It is a very difficult 5ob, and requires a most adroit politi- elan to accomplish 1t successfully. Even he is liable to get kick in the diaphragm occasionally.

Nearly all the States in the Union are legisiating or proposing to legislate in the direction of honest elections and ballot reform. It has become one of the vital questions of the day. North and Souths s.and Pennsylvania, the Qnaystone State, doesn't propose to be left behind. Just how they are going to do it is thus set out by The Piftsburg Post:
 But in this matter of ballot reform in Rennsylvania all disguises and sham 0retenses are being cast aside. The pur- pose is to promote and maintain a sys- eeIss sy witch tiSs, dation can be made controlling forces. The Republican Party of Pennsylvania champions fraudulent elections; 1t holds the voter. This is necessary to poll its Ge.go0 fraudulent votes in Philadelphia, and a proportionate number elsewhere. No political party has ever before sound ed the depth of such an infamy.
 Certain members of the Pennsyl- wania Legislature were apparently in earnest in their efforts to pass a law which would secure honest elections, but those efforts met with the open, determined and successful opposition of Quay and the outcome is given in the above extract. It is not a creditable showing for the Republican Party.

the minimum equipment of rolling stock
and the smallest possible station accom-
m0dabOns.
1t was found that such extreme eeOno-
my would be very expensive in the long
run. The nature of the country pre-
cludes the possibility Of working q partly
completed line except at prOhibitlye
cost and at serious risk OF accident. Ae-
cordingly, the road, which VIII be com
pleted in q few months to Victoria Ny
ANA, is being completely ballasted and
made as perfect as possible in all re-
sDects; this is the reason why the best
of steel bridges have been ordered to re-
place the wooden structures already built
and those which were soon to be con-
structed All these improvements will
make the line and its equipment cost
about $24. $50, 900, which is more than
twice the amount of the original estimate.
The building of this railroad is one Of
the most satisfactory enterprises yet I'M
dertaKen in Africa. The British govern
ment was authorized by Parliament to
undertake the work, at the cost of the
nation. in 1896 About $50 miles of
track laying from MombaSa on the Indian
Ocean toward Victoria NyanZa had been
completed on March 81, 1900. Just Il
year later 4S1 miles had been finished; on
August D last, the completed portion Of
the line was 517 miles long, leaving only
sixty four miles to be built. Port Flor
ence. the inland terminus of the road, is
on the northeast coast of Lake Vic
toria. The Line will be 5S1 miles long.

The lake The cost of transportation, If
was estimated, was about one-fifth of the
cost of onerating the whole railroad for
a year Two more steamers drawing ten
feet will be carried 10y rail TO the lake,
early next year, as soon as the line is
completed. These steamers, plying to va
rious ports ON all sides of the lake, will
be feeders for the railroad. They will
make the commerce of the regions ali
around Victoria NyanZa directly trihu-
tary to the railroad
The great enterprise is already having
a remarkable effect upon the people near
the lake. The natives are moving TO the
railroad route. The town of Nairobi has
now 5000 inhabitants and numerous oth-
or centers Of population are rapidly form

Henry NJ. Stanley said some years ago

routes 10 Lake Victoria. The native de-
mand for European goods was steadily
increasing. The commodities at that
time imported for the use of the natives
and Europeans amounted to about 1900
tons annually and the cost of carrying
these articles from the sea TO the lake
was bout 81 $50. 900 a year. He believed
that a great increase in the traffic would
occur when freight rates were reduced
by the railroad.

The British have just given contra t
TO the American Bridge company of PM
adelphia for the construction of twenty
steel bridges along the line of Uganda
railroad in East Africa. The amount in
vOlved is about 100000. English and
Continental firms competed in the bid
ding, but tkeir figures were higher and
they could not guarantee to complete the
work in so short a time as that agreed
upon by the Philadelphia company.

THE HORSE ON THE FARM.

"The horse on the farm is too often
killed by work." says j. l.. Van Doren
in the New York Farmer. 81 do not
mean by this that the average farm
horse is killed by work that is really be-
yond his strength. 1t is not meant that
the farmer has so little mercy for his
horse that he will compel him to
draw 1000 pounds, when his full
strength is equal to drawing load OF
1,5CJ pounds,
/ do mean to say that, while the farm
horse is seldom compelled to pull more
than his muscles ought to pull, he is
worked too long. He is often kept at
his work too many hours, until his
fatigue involves his entire nervous sys-
tenn. Not infrequently we see team
compelled to plow from daylight to
dark, or drag mower, or pull hay
wagon for long stretch of time.
A horse worked until he is utterly
tagged out shows his exhausted condi-
tion in many ways. His eyes are lustre-
less. Ee is listless. Things that usually
startle him are unnotieed by him. When
he sleeps, he twitches. He eats with
less relish. His digestion is impaired.
All his motions are slower.
The horse thus exhausted repeatedly
soon becomes old in feeling. Compelled
to work so continuously, he cannot di-
gest or assimiiate his food so well, and
indigestion aggravates his general ex-
haustion and hastens his breakdown.
The farmer, even in his rush season
cannot afford to make too greA a draft
upon the nervous system of his horse.
An extra squirt may enable farmer to
get ton of hay in out of the way of a
coming shower. He says the hay is
saved, but it will be dear ton of hay, if
in saving it he over-strains seriously a
team of horses worth $3.50 or $50. We
all have seen this sort of saving on
farms, and we all know that it is the
wors. possible sort of extravaganza.
A good, safe and humane rule is to
give the horses several rests during the
long. hot days in the rush season. 1t is
not enough to rest the holses only at the
noon hour. 1t would be better to divide
that hour into four parts, and scatter the
rest over the day. The horse that is ap-
preaching the point of exhaustion, mus
cularly and nervously, will be refreshed
and saved from exhaustion by rest OF
quarter hour. Such rests are true
economy rs well as humanity.

WHY pAlRYMeN PROSPER.

One reason why the people engaged in
dairying are prosperous is because
dairying is cash business. There is no
credit with the old cow. You feed her
to-day, and tomorrow she pays you back
in cash. The dairyman does not have to
tell his hired man that he can pay him
when he sells his wheat, or when he sells
la bunch of lambs, or when the peaches
are marketed. He has the cash every
week or every month. The dairyman
need not run up bill at his grocery or
anywhere else. His business is a cash
business, and he can pay as he goes.
This is one of the basic principles of
prosperity. Run up no debts. Pay as
you 90. 1t gets man into the habit of
doing business on business principles,
and when he does this he has started on
the road to prosperity.
Again, the dairy business is continu-
Gus business. 1t brings in cash every
week in the year. The fruit man or the
wheat man, or the steer man, or the
lamb man, gets his money in large sums
and at irregular intervals. This tends to
extravaganza in expenditure. When
people have lots of money they spend
lots, aud when the source is cut off they
feel it severely. The dairyman's income
is more uniform and steady, aud he
governs his expenditures accordingly.
lie is not flush at one time and totally
strapped at another, but has modest,
uniform, continuous income, and is
thereby made more prosperous.
Dairying is safe business, and there
fore brings material prosperity to a per-
son or community People have been
financially ruined by fattening lambs or
cattle. and, in some instances, 1y grow
ing fruit or wheat. But no one ever
heard of man becoming bankrupt in the
dairy business. These other businesses
may at times bring a larger profit, but
there is a large element of speculation
about them. The dairy business is al
most devoid of speculation. 1t is a
rather slow, humdrum sort of business,
but it is safe, and one can put his money
into it with the assurance of modest
profit from year TO year.
If crops fail in almost any other kind
of farming the farmer is fiat, but even II
all the dairyman's crops should fail, IL
he has good herd of cows he can buy
all his feed and still pay expenses and
have a small profit besides. Dairying
may be little slow, but it is sure
