The basis Of compromise between
the city and the street railway COM
pany has been agreed upon, which,
while Mayor johnson claims it as a
victory, has sent the railways stocks
soaring up about 10 points in few
hours. The public generally feels like
man who finds that he has bought
a gold brick.
The proposed new fare runs all the
way from cents to cents. Working
men whose homes or shops are in the
suburbs will pay most. A boundary
is fixed within which 3-cent fare is to
be charged. People living outside that
boundary will be forced to pay higher
fare. Besides every transfer within the
Scent zone costs . cents extra. The
old fare is straight six tickets for a
quarter with universal transfers free.
For the CONCESSION" the street
railway company is to be granted n
20 years extension of its franchise.
There is little possibility that the
agreement can be carried into effect
Protests have already become porten-
tuous. Mayor johnson has announced
that he wants to hear from the
people, and they are obliging him.
The compromise is generally re
garded as Mayor Johnson's finish as
q refofmer.

WELD great influence with the voters
at the coming election, and provide an
insurmountable obstacle to Addicks in
his efforts to break into the United

The tenderloin element is lining up
preparatory to making a fight against
the nomination of DR.. Byrne for the
head of the democratic ticket. There
is feeling which refuses to go down
that Byrne is responsible for all their
troubles and that Woydt is the chief
factor in carrying out the scheme of
Byrne-his scheme of revenge, as it
isealled. BY appointing Woydt to the
Office of chief of police, Byrne put a
man into that office who has since
worked directly against the schemes OF

his foot down upon vice and shows a
