STREET-CAR CONSOLIDATION.

There is again talk of consolidating
much of truth there is in the rumors
that are floating around we do not
know, but we repeat what we said
long ago, that consolidation is Il fore
gone conclusion. 1t may not come in
4 month, it may not come in 4 year,
but it will come because it is the logl-
cal and sensible thing to do.
The City Council helped the move
nlent along when it gave the Traction
Company authority to run its cars on
the Main-Street tracks. The Passen-
ger and Power Company has the au-
thority to run its cars on the Broad
Street tracks. and so in 4 little while
we shall have two street-car COM
panies operating over the same tracks
in the best territory Of the city. These
two companies are necessarily antaG-
onistic, and each is doing all it can to
get an advantage over the other.
There has been talk of cutting rates.
and if this sort of warfare should be
started, it would probably go on until
one or the other, or both, of the COM
panies were bankrupt.
Now these two lines can be operated
just as well under one management as
under two separate arrangements. In
deed they can be operated to greater
advantage all around, and certainly
with greater economy. The logical
and sensible thing to do, therefore, is
for the two companies to come under
one general management and so re-
duce their expenses and get rid of all
danger of disastrous rate-cutting.
We believe also that it would be to
the interest Of the community for such
a consolidation to take place. The
people want the very best service that
can be had, and this is to be accom-
plished not by cut-throat competition.
but by wise and judicious manage
ment and economical administration.
When the street-car companies are
maxim. money they can afford to give
a good service; if they are losing
money they must go from bad to
worse and the public will be the sur
ferer. The Times is in position to dis
cuss this question With perfect frank
ness and freedom. because it is ID no
way involved in the confidence or the
interest OF the two street-car COM
panies operating here. 1t is useless
| to talk about what might have been.
1t IS useless to hold post-mortems. we
| are talking of the future.

CHURCH PROPERTY.

Article >, section II. Of the Virginia
Constitution. provides: The General
Assembly shall not grant a charter of
incorporation to any church or rcligi-
Gus denominations; but may secure the
title 10 church property 10 an extent to
be limited by law

LETT out of the new Constitution This
prohibition is 50 plain. says Mr. Xii
by, that our Legislatures have been
slow 10 enact laws relating to church,
es for fear that such laws would be
declared unconstitutional by the
courts; hence the law allows n rcli-
Sious congregation to hold only one
church and one parsonage, and is not
allowed TO possess any other property.
1t is even doubtful whether or not any.
denomination has Il good title to
church property in this State. For in
stance: IL any set of trustees. holding
the title Of any particular church edi-
fec. should decide 10 set up claim 10
such property. backed up by the con
grcgation, it is very doubtful if the
denomination of which such a church
is 4 part could prevent it.
We agree with Air. kilDy that the
law should be changed. Churches
ought 10 be permitted to hold property
in their own right, but there ought TO
be some restriction as to how much
property owned by Il church shall be
exempt from taxation.

The Chicago News observes that any
fool can write poetry. Alexander Pope
took exactly the opposite view IN the
following reply TO Il fool who thought
he could turn the trick:
"Sir, I admit your general rule
That every poet is a fool:
But you yourself may serve to show 1T,
That every fool is not poet.
The Savannah News has found that
there are two things to conjure With III
the Congress of the United States. One
is pensions and the other free seeds. y
Anything that can be gotten under eth
er heading is sure of favorable con-
sidcration as that death and taxes can
not be avoided.
The Daughters of the Revolution seem
TO have nothing left to learn Of political
tricks. Charges of corruption in their
organization equal those at any conven-
ton Of politicians of the other sex. 1t
was a neat trick for one daughter to
cut her badge in two and slip IN her
alternate to vote on Pne-half, While
she voted on the other. Yet we are
told women with the ballot will purify
politics.

The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Com

company to resume business i'll the State

by the present General Assembly. Since
this law was enacted by the 1889 I.eS!sla-

conducted it's North Carolina business,
that is the business pertaining to the out
standing policies, through their Richmond
office, as has also the NORTHWESTERN ana

Moore resigned on account or III hea'th.
IT WAS ONLY BUNCOMBE.
The discovery was made yesterday by
several members that the present Gen
eral Assembly has, without realizing
what they did, enacted law which
makes the entire State prohibition with
the exception that liquors can be man
ufactured and sold IN incorporated towns
OF Buncombe county.
The bill was introduced by Mr.. Curtis,
of Buncombe. The provisions Of the bill
are as follows:
Sec. 1. That it shall be unlawful for
any person to manufacture or sell any
spirituouS, yinOus or malt liquors or
brandieS anywhere except in the lncor-
porated towns of Buncombe county.
'.Sec. 2 makes it a misdemeanor, pun
ishable by fine and Imprisonment, in the
discretion Of the court
This mistake was brought UP in both
branches Of the Assembly to-day, and an
amendatory bill passed which makes the
bill apply only to Buncombe county, as it
was intended to do.
