vote on a certain proposition. 1t IS
concelvablea that there might come a
time when we should have a council
utterly out Of touch with public opin-
Ion. At such a time the initiative
would be very convenient.
AS we understand the franchise
chapter, even the referendum is not
provided for on questions Of municipal
ownership only the granting of fran
chises. We think that the people
would hesitate to entrust to the coun-
Gil the power, without mandate from
the voters. to go ahead with munich
pal ownership undertaking.
The charter commission has done
well to provide that only voters who
vote shall have any. right to decide
franchise matters referred to the vot-
ers.; The man who wishes to disfran-
chise himself should be gratifed.
Franchise legislation may be passed
by the council by a majority thereof.
This is a wise provision, and will re-
duce to a maximum the chance for
obstructive boodling or boodling OBJ
struction. Franchises may be granted
by the same vote under the present
charter. tho it takes two-thirds vote
to vacate street.

! SATURDAY EVENING,

the fashion in the east to be conserv-
alive to bearishness, the feeling
spreading out a little further from the
Wall street breeding place. Viewed
In the proper spirit the sale of steel
for export should be very encourage
ing. Our country could not continue
the former high rate of consumption
indefinitely. A natural temporary
lull in demand has appeared. but at
its very beginning the steel men have
succeeded In getting business from
abroad, aggregating several hundred
thousand tons, which makes 1T less
likely that subsistence of the .insistent
American demand will close more
mills and render more men idle. II
the entire product cannot be placed
here the surplus will be marketed
abroad, and if, as many observers In
sist, iron must fall again from prince
to pauper, at least there will be no
such fall as has demoralized the In
dustry periodically in years gone BY
But the fears of Wall street empha-
size only the fact that if steel was sold
abroad it was undoubtedly at some
what lower prices, hence decreased
earnings are a natural inference, de-
creased dividends the resultant sug-
gestion, and the consequence has been
another assault on the steel stocks,
forcing new low records at 10R for
the common and SO for the preferred.
This has put damper upon the
whole list. Monetary conditions have
undergone no change of importance
round sums of money
have been shipped west and south
from New York every day
The wheat market remains in rath-
er narrow range with an undertone

waiting market, but the tone as the
week closes is somewhat firmer than
at the opening of the week.

Making History on the Jump.

Events are moving swiftly at Pana-
ma and Washington. Poor, stupid,
avaricious, boodling old Bogota must
be dazed This is about the way it is
going:
Revolution yesterday.
Evacuation of the isthmus by Co
lombian troops Immediately there
after.
- Recognition Of the new republic of
Panama to-day.
Begin the digging of the great canal
tomorrow.
Ending in forty-eight hours Of the
uncertainty of fifty years and the spec
ulation of four centuries.
There is .Amerieariism for you--tfat
is what you might call getting a
move" There is history in the MAX
ing. If.
There is no question of the absolute
correctness of, our position and acts.
Secretary Hays statement, published
elsewhere, clearly demonstrates that:
Nevertheless the course the govern
ment has taken is new and startling
No more useless civil wars in Panama,
says our government, even if we have
to fight to prevent them, and forth
with warships and marines are rushed
to the isthmus. To Colombia we say,
take your revolted province back if
you can without fighting. There is
humor in the situation, too, grim lnu-
NOR for Colombia. It is an invitation
to swim without entering the water.
1t is apparent that the expansion of
the great republic is still going on.
Henceforth Panama is as, good as ours.
With great coasts on both the Atlantic
and the Pacific, we now hold the gate
way. And a precedent for further
expansion has been established. The
grip on Panama augments our influ-
ence+ in South America. With the
construction of the canal, our trade
with the southern continent will vast
ly increase, and after our trade will
follow the pax Americana, just as it
has now come to Panama. This does
not mean territorial expansion neces-
sarily, but it means that shrewd old
Uncle Sam will let no Europeans get
the drop on him in South America.

versely on Mr. BrYan's claim to a. share

probably does not make the judgment any
more acceptable.

The Franchise Question,

The public should give it's close at
tention to the franchise chapter of the
new city charter.
No serious fault is to be found with
the sections relating to taxation of
gross earnings and the general provi-
sion for municipal ownership. We
think, however, that the regulations
prescribing the manner In which fran
chises may be granted and the manner
in which municipal ownership may be
attained call for revision.
Under the proposed regulations the
council may grant a'charter of it's own
initiative and without consulting the
people unless 10 per cent of the voters
demand a, referendum within sixty
days after the council has passed the
ordinance on the subject. t4seems to
us that every general franchise prop
osition ought to be referred to the
voters, and. that a decision of a ma
jority of the voters participating in
| the election should determine the
question. The requirement as to a
petition is well enough if it applied
to the Initiative by the people of fran
ehise or municipal ownership legisla-
|tion.sbut a referendum should be man
datory.
/ There is no provision, however, for
| the public to take the initiative in any
such legislation. 1t may demand a
referendum Of an ordinance, but it
can not take the lead and instruct the
council ITO prepare an ordinance,
whether for municipal ownership upon
the expiration of a franchise or upon
the granting of one. We should like
to see clause providing that upon
the petition Of a certain number of
voters the council must arrange for a

Business Conditions.

With an increase of almost twenty
per cent in volume of trade over the
corresponding period last year., Min
11eapolis winds up good week to-
day Attic the bank clearings at
S21709, 665.95 are by no means the
record high mark, the showing is ex-
cellent. Few cities did as we'll and
some. fell almost as much behind
Minneapolis folds place far higher
up on the list than might be supposed
from population comparisons alone,
and relative to population is doing a
volume Of business far in excess Of
many other points.
A heavier movement Of wheat and
coarse grains to this market during
the week (5,769 cars in all), helped
make the favorable showing, but even
aside from this there was good bust
ness done in nearly every line. Flour
shipments, light ever since the labor
trouble In the mills, have at last
worked back almost UP to normal for
this season., averaging $4,000 barrels
for several days.
4 Jebbing business Is good and retail
ers have felt the benefit of clear, crisp
weather. which was a stimulus to
trade. The week was especially good
in view of the general comment now
heard as to recession in demand.
which while it's effect has been shown
in some eastern centers, has not been
felt here.
Influences both good and bad were
at work on the outside, and the eon-
mercial reports from day to day car
ried a multitude Of conflicting items.
Factors for general good had their eff
feet In some part minimized by news
of less favorable developments in the
industrial field. The situation, taken
as a whole, has a favorable eoloring
and the week might be said to show
material Improvement, but for num-
Der Of minor occurrences generally
I taken as indicative of the gradual
progress of recession and tendency
towards retrenchment
Important on the side Of encour-
agement was the fact that American
steel makers We're able to secure Eu-
ropean business Of large volume. This
was really the feature of the week.
and in one respect the best indication
roted for long time. Welsh manu-
facturers are reported negotiating for
round lots of steel bars and inquiry
on the whole, is such as to promise
heavy future business. z
Wheat, corn and cotton exports
should increase from now on. Gold
is already being imported and larger
agricultural exports mean continu-
ance of a favorable balance. The
west is using more money, but Is hay-
Ing little difficulty in getting it.. Rail-
road earnings are still on the increase
and western roads as a rule REPORTING
slackening in traffic.
Meanwhile, however, some thol1s.
ands Of sheet metal workers. are un-
der new agreement involving a sreduc-
ton of twenty per cent in wages
while almost 10000 men in the tfror
and steel industry are temporarily
idle. ss-~s4
The commercial agencies report the
October liabilities in failures the
heaviest for any month in four years
A number of other unfavorable things
might be pointed out, hut they. are Of
i miner importance.
There is a tendency still to see
things In bad light. 1t has become
