was the issue fought for and won and
there need be no hesitancy In securing
the fruits of victory.
In the matter of second class city
charter legislation, the disposition OF
the Pittsburg and Allegheny friends
OF charter revision to accord to Scran-
ton the privilege Of initiating sugges-
tions Is observed with appreciation and
will be rewarded by faithful perform
ance of the delegated trust. Upon the
main points of new charter-name-
ly. Capitalization of executive author
ity; widening of legislative functions,
particularly In the matter of taxation;
and the reference OF numerous details
to the discretion of the councils of
the three affected cities--there Is hap
PLY harmonious agreement among
those who will press for charter re-
vision. The boast of Senator Finn
that the revision programme will fail
recalls his recent unrellability as a
forecaster in the senatorial fight. The
programme will not fail IL those who
favor 1t shall remain united and shall
make practical use of the exceptionally
favorable opportunities now open to
them.

Street Railway Competition.

Y y VIEW of the numerous times
that the municipality Of Scran-
i has been humbugged by plausi-
BILE spectators in public
franchises and in view OF the
arge burden of discomfort and
Expense which this humbugging has
inflicted upon the people, solicitors for
iew franchise privileges must natur-
ally expect to be scrutinized sharply
and put under tight bonds to keep
their agreements.
If the incorporators of the newly
organized Central Rapid Transit
Street Railway company mean busi-
ness, they will find considerable pub
lie sentiment to bid them welcome.
They must, however, come to the
publics terms and submit to impreg-
nable safeguards. Competition pre-
