THE ADMINISTRATION SCARED.

Ever since Sugar Trust King Have
meyer frankly acknowledged to the In
dustrial Commission that the tariff was
the mother of trusts the American peo-
pie have been getting a steadily clearer
view of the tariff question in its rela-
ton to trusts. The work of the Indus
trial Commission has done much to
illuminate the subject 1t is now en-
deavoring to ascertain from American
manufacturers why their products are
sold to foreign purchasers for less than
the domestic consumer is required to
pay. To this end the commission has
sent letters to the managers of leading
industrial enterprise asking for a full,
frank and free explanation of facts
which have an important bearing upon
our tariff system.
This method OF tariff inquiry has
proven Of doubtful value In the past, Il.

an offer from certain nation-not spec

ty to re-establish the old Irish king
doms free from British or any other in

There are four principal islands, one
each for Leinster, Munster, Ulster and
Connaught. He tries to be mysterious
about the islands, but he discloses GER
tain facts concerning them-namely,
that they are in the south Pacific; that
they are near Spanish-American re-
public; that they are not inhabited; that
they are unexplored; that they have a
temperature climate and a productive
soil, and that they are rich in seals and
turtles.

islands location profound secret.

mistake in writing even these few
particulars, for keen Newspaper man

FRANCHISE VALUES.

FHANCHlSE tAhOASs
Texas has statute which requires
that the franchises of corporations shall
be assessed and taxed the same as other
property. Texas, you know, isn't as
civilized as most of the country, so its
lawmakers occasionally do these strange
things.
But Texas has judges who sometimes
have way of interpreting the law to
suit themselves; so while Texas law
makers in their wantonness aimed a
cruel blow at the poor corporations
holding public franchises obtained as
gift from the people, there are Texas
judges to avert the blow. One of the
latter, in deciding case before him,
declared that a franchise was of no
value as separate from the tangible
property to the use of which it related
For instance, a railroad franchise, if
there are no tracks, no rolling stock, not
even right of way or other property, is
totally valueless. There is nothing to
be taxed.
So the cruel effort of Texas lawmak
ers to Cypress the corporations is null
lifted so far as the ruling of this Texas
judge stands in precedent. Of course,
it never occurred to this able jurist that
the right of private owner to make
a public use of his property for which
he collects tolls carries with it a tax
able value and that tangible property
of corporation would be worth no
more than the mere value of the land
and improvements but for the franchise
under which it is held and used
The Texas judicial mind did not
bother with such abstruse matter. This
jurist should migrate to the congenial
environments of Pennsylvania. In the
land Of Quay and the City of Philadel-
phia he would be hailed as one of the
chosen. And this reminds us that
there are some wild and woolly Texas
like people even in Philadelphia who
talk about the franchise grabbers of
Athat city and State as if they deserved
to be tarred and feathered. Indeed, the
Philadelphia Record has an article
cautioning the people against mob vio-
lence as threatened in the streets. 1t
says:
There is no danger that the people of
Philadelphia, after electing Mayor and
Councils and a delegation to the State leg
islature to defraud and despoil them will
be guilty of the criminal folly of mob vio-
lence in order to obtain revenge If ODE
dience to the laws until they can be re-
pealed or amended were not one of the
first duties of good citizens, experience
shows that in executing the DEGREES of
Judge Lynch the real criminals often .es-
cape the fury of the mob. In this case
the Governor the Mayor and the corrupt
majorities in the State Legislature and
Municipal Councils are mere tools in the
hands that direct thenl.'
OF course it would be inconsistent TO
lynch Governor Stone, Mayor Ashbridge
and the members of the Legislature and
Councils and leave Quay, the boss of
them all, go free. But the people of
Philadelphia and the State of Pennsyl-
vania love Quay and are more disposed
to banquet than to lynch him.

1t will be a great week, and there will
be lots of sightseeing, shows, parades
and spectacles and the streets should be
clean.
This work can be done in a little
while with the aid of the street hose
and almost in a night the streets of
Wheeling can be made as clean as pos
sible
The authorities should prepare to do
it thoroughly. Let the city look its
best.

a quietus on those who had any re.
manning doubt of the building ol
the electric road from here to
Canon City. Last night some APP
proximate figures were learned
from Mr. Robinson regarding the
plant and equipment, which. while
not precise as yet, because certain
details have not been settled. still
will serve to give the public a good
idea of the magnitude of the en-
terprise aud impress upon them
the fact that a road, like Rome,
cannot be built in day.
La the first place, something
like fifty or sixty thousand dollars
have already been expended in
material to date, and with real es-
tate paid for, the total at present
approximates 100000. And this
is only the beginning Another
car of rails arrived last night
The next order for rails will be
one of 500 tons, The placing of
this order has not been definitely
settled so far
The power house will be located
about 600 feet south of Main street
and east of Crawford avenue, where
it will be parallel with and close
to a spur of the Rio Grande rail
road, besides being near the the
Santa Fe track. Thus both lines
can be taken advantage of in the
matter of transporting material.
The building will be at least 50xl50
feet This has nothing to do with
the barn. which will occupy
space of. say 50x300 feet, and con
tain, probably. three tracks. There
will be three 250- power Cor
liss engines, which will be taken
care of by battery of three 200
horse power boilers. AS the horse
power of boilers and engines is not
in the same ratio, engineers will
comprehend at glance that the
boilers spoken of will easily take
cara of tho anuinaa
The construction of the power
house will probably be begun as
soon as the type of boilers to be
used is settled. AS Mr.. Robi nson
remarked last night, 1--WE have re-
ceived letters and catalogues from
bout rs different kinds of boiler
making firms, each swearing that
his or their make is the best, y
Consequntly it is somewhat diff
cult to choose.
There will be about dozen cars
in operation as soon as the busl-
ness justifies that number The
first lot to be ordered will be three.
the motors of which have already
been arranged for Every car will
have two of these motors of %
horse power each 1t costs about
500 each to bring cars of this de-
scription out from the East, no
small matter in itself.
1t will be seen from these fig
ures that the public need have no
fear of the road not being built
1t is merely question of how soon
material can be gotten here, which,
owing to the multiplicity of orders
placed with earstern manufactur-
ing firms, is not always so easily
