Mrs. Levi u. Letter and her two

aspire to but claim association with

THE COUNTRY COUSIN.

The gossipy breeze Was chatting to please The little blue violet under the trees. Gay pictures he drew, And eloquent grew, Describing her cousins, the pansies he
 knew.
 TC 9 wonderful sight, A scene of delight, These same city cousins were taken
 last night.
 Midst gossamer lace They nestled in place On the breast of a woman with beau
 tiful face.
 In simmer and sheen, She shown as queen, So stately her bearing, so graceful her
 mien.
 Exquisite perfume Pervaded the room Where, swinging like censers, were
 earlands Of bloom. The hours had been fleet, For merrily feet Were tripping to measures enchant-
 ingly sweet.
 No tongue could e'er tell Though it spoke from bell. The rapturous sound of the orchestra $

On pleasure intent, Nc malice he meant. Yet thistles he scattered wherever he
 went.
 To her it occurred No music she heard Save tinkie of streamlet and carol of
 bird;
 No electrical light Fer dazzled her sight. She saw only moonlight and starlight
 at night.
 Sore-hearted, distressed, The violet pressed More deeply the thorn he had thrust in
 her breast.
 She. scornful, looked down On her one-colored gown, And envied her beautiful cousins in
 town.
 Their dresses she knew Were brilliant in hue, Hers being forever plain indigo blue; Their bright, sparkling faces, And city-bred graces them a welcome in Fashions
 high places.
 So sad was her lot. Her joys she forgot. Though bright were her blessings, she
 valued them not; And worst of it all, No chance could befall By which she, like pansies could go to
 ball.

Do you, or do you not, think that in case of failure on the part of the railway company to operate all, or any part of it's road, for a period of thirty days, as above contemplated (due al lowances being made for strikes, acts of God, etc), the city council should have the right to declare the franchise forfeited, or compel the street railway to remove it's tracks and poles from the streets upon which, and ever which, said railway company had failed to operate. in accordance with the spirit of the franchise. and compel the rail- way company to make all reasonable repairs to the streets and walks made necessary as a result of such removal of tracks, poles, etc?

Thy It Required Modifcation-some Pertinent Questions by MT. Murphy.

Frank right, of Prescott, the enterprising tizen who proposes to construct q rect srailway. had consented to a odification of the franchise covering e project in order to meet the objec- Jns raised by a number of the lead property owners, and that the criti- sms of the franchise as stated by Mir M. Murphy and which had appeal 1 to the good sense of MT. Wright. ere denied publicity In a Prescott paper, the Journal Miner In order that The Republicans many readers at Prescott may know why modificatio of the franchise was sought. Mir Murphys letter, Cnly extracts from which appeared in the Prescott paper. is here printed.

preferable to fifty years. as provided under the franchise as now worded?
 Under the existing franchise. if two CT three miles of track are constructed covering many of the principal streets mentioned, and for any reason it should be thought advisable by the street rail-
 way company-from lack of business or otherwise-to abandon any portion of the system. it could be done. leaving the thoroughfare in anything but d sat isfactoly condition. An abandoned street railway is about as unsightly relic as can be imagined. and calcu- lated to appreciate the value of every bit of property on the street. Should the railway company abandon any part of it's track, or fail to operate. the city council should at least have the right to compel them to take up the tracks. remove the poles, and put the streets and walks in order. The franchise should also. in that event, in my judg
 ment, be forfeited; otherwise, after bonds are sold and money realized, d large part of the interest of the pro- moter passes to the bondholder, who as a rule, has no particular interest in the city, other than attaches to his bond inVestment-and unless the bondhclder | is likely to be unappreciative of the city's interests. Particularly this is true if the interest on the bonds which he hclds is promptly paid-a condition
 not unlikely to exist. even though half of the company's tracks are permitted to go into decay. Holders of bonds are apt to be scattered throughout the country, and a very decided lack of , of cd +o
 be more or less destructive to healthy and satisfactory management.
 While the franchise granted to my self and others in 1892 Cat time when conditions were very differenD, fur nished decidedly more protection than the franchise recently granted to MT. Wright, and did not contain as many rights and privileges as does the
 Wright franchise, a mistake might have been made in granting that fran chise. Prescott has grown a great deal since 1892, the streets have been graded and the successful future of the place would seem to be assured. and any such franchise as was granted to my self and others in 1892, should not be granted today, much less the franchise which has been given to AIr. Wright.
 Should be pleased to have the views Of the Journal-Miner on the above. To hide behind insinuations to the effect that my objection to the franchise as WOrded, is based upon other than de sire to protect the interests of Pres cott, would hardly seem a dignified or reasonable position for any one to take. Please understand that I am not in the market for a city railway fran chise: that I do not hesitate to say
 that, in my judgment. the interests of
 the city will be as fully considered in
 the hands Of MT. Wright as they would
 in the hands Of any individual citizen i of Prescott, and personally I am de- cidedly in favor of his having a fran chise, if a franchise is to be granted. l Respectfully,
