1t looks very much as if the city au-
thorities were preparing to grant another
municipal franchise without exacting a
fair equivalent or safeguarding the inter-
ests Of the people. The proposition to al
low interurban street railroad companies
entering the city over the Indianapolis
company's tracks to charge five-cent fares
within the city limits is a long step back
wards toward the era when public rights
were Systematically subordinated to pri-
vate greed. No railway company that
uses the streets of the city should under
any circumstances be permitted 10 charge
a ive-cent fare within the city limits. For
the city authorities ever TO entertain the
proposition shows them to be either be-
hind the times or willing to ignore public
interests.

but as his going preceded by a considerable
time the day of its announcement and the

believe that ii Will survive his loss. To the

NEW YORK. April 5.-A special to the
Times from Washington says: "A. the
War Department much interest is felt q

maintained that there would be no objec-
ton TO selling 10 the Beers If they wished

in having their cargoes captured on the
way out. The effect of these great ship
ments of horses and mules has been to run
the prices for these animals up far above
the usual rates. The United States gov
eminent has had To pay the prices estab-
lished by the British demand. The rail-
roads and the dealers in horses and mules

If the report is true that Mr.. Bryan
cabled Aguinaldo that he wished him 20

what he thinks about the situation so that
he can devote an issue of the Commoner

out the proceeds of his paper for weeks.
This report is not denied, so that If no

Aguinaldo has not the confidence in Mr..
Bryan that he had when he was in insur-
