municipal ownership of the benefits, as
he conceived them of city control Of
public utilities and closed with con-
gratulations to the local league on be-
ing pioneers in the movement in New
York. His speech was enthusiastically
received. Judge Dunno said:
Men of the East, we bring you
tidings OF great JOY from the men of
the West. The exploitation of public
property by private capital, with it's
attendant greed, eXtortion and corrup-
ton, has had its day in American cities
but that day is about to end. Next
Monday Chicago starts upon her mis-
sion of dislodging her private capital
from the control of our street car sys-
tenn. She has succeeded in the oper-
alton of her water-works system, in
paying some $3S,000,000 for its equip
ment, has loaned $5,000,000 from that
department to the sewer system, is
today giving the cheapest water of
probably any city in America, and has
cash surplus of nearly $1,000,090.
She has so managed her electric light
plant that she has reduced the cost of
arc lamps from $125 to about $54 for
arc lamp per annum. She Will have
the same record of success in relation
to her street car system"
After giving the history of the Chi
cage movement for municipal owner
ship and telling how the city would
provide money for acquiring present
lines, Judge Dunno concluded:
'"rhe movement in favor of NUM-
cipal ownership of all public utilities
has taken deep root among the intelli-
gent people of this country. 1t is no
passing sentiment. 1t is here to stay.
Municipal ownership and operation of
these utilities and governmental own
ership of railroads, telegraphs, and
express transportation is a practical
question upon which the people must
pass within q very short time, and the
politicians and parties who ignore this
sentiment must be prepared for a
short-lived career before the people.
We in Chicago have no fears as to
the results of municipal ownership.
We are confident that the will of the
people can be carried into effect, and
that too, without the imposition of a
single dollars worth of taxes"

The Fire Possibly Incendiary.

New Bern, N. c., April S.-Speaking
of last nights fire here, the New Bern
Journal says:
As to the cause of the fire no one
presumes to know exactly but the cir
point to incendiarism. The
fact that every thing was favorable to
a quick fire precluding the use of any
thing to quicken the flames, strength
ems rather than weakens the belief.
The time of night also is a strong ar
gument. If it was the work of an in
cendiary it may have been started in
two or more places in order for it to
gain progreSS faster.
