nuNIcIpAL OWNERSHIP.

The sentiment in favor of munich
pal ownership of public utilities is
growing in our nation. The recent
overwhelming vote in favor of the
cand idate of the adherents to these
views in Chicago, was a demonstration
of popular sentiment on the subject
by the second largest city in the
nation, aud is significant of the
trend of public opinion In the United
States.
Judging from this aud the press
utterances it Is not too much to ex
pect that the great city of New York
with its three millions OF inhabitants
llsfollow the example of its western
sister and throw its influence in favor
of the public owning their own means
of transportation and other public
works
Experience is teaching the people
of the United States that it pays to
look after their own business and that
if they are to get things at reason
able prices and get good service, it
is wise to have voice in the bust
ness.
They are also learning that it is
not wise thing to give franchises
away to private individuals or cor
porations, or sell them at nominal
aum, and then pay exhorbitant prices
or the service supplied.
1t is often the case that small com
unities are not in condition to
secure the conveniences of modern
iifo as fast as they would like, and
the desire to ape their more wealthy
neighbors induces them to listen to
the proposals of private individuals
who are willing ito guarantee them
these things in consideration of the
granting of certain privileges, which,
mt tho time, do not seem to be of
any Especial moment to the grantors,
&c (which as the town 'enlarges, be.
come worth immense sums. The
safe plan is to wait for these things
until they can be afforded. The
securing of them before that time by
the franchise route generally means
the worst form of going into barter,
because it means to go it blind, as
you neither know the value of what
you are giving, nor yet the price of
what you are getting in return.

doubtless be glah of an opportunity
to pay off old Ecores against the
French nation; but the most probable
thing Is that this is one Of those wild
scares which originate usually in the
brains of war correspondents, aud
which cause people to talk about
war of all nations and other such
rubbish. The truth is that the world
is becoming more enlightened all
the time and the spirit of warfare is
likely to diminish rather than in
crease. Civilized nations are begin
ming to find out that "war is hi. "
not only for the vanqushed, but for
the victors, as we'll, and that many
small aud despised opponents are
capable of putting much stronger
powers to considerable trouble and
expense Hencefortb nations of
much consequence will consider the
matters at issue very seriously before
declaring war.

Washington county is making pre-
partitions to hold another successful
fair next autumn. 1t is time Cedar
City was beginning to bestir herself.
Parowan took the matter out of our
hands last year because we we're too
shiftless or indifferent to take adj
vantage of our rights in the matter.
A good county fair is great benefit
to any county, while poor fair is
detriment If we are going to
hold one of the sort this year that
benefits, it is time we we're at work
on it.
