II there should be graft" in the
purchase of supplies and awarding of
contracts, as intimated by our con-
temporary. that graft" could not pos
sibly be greater under public owner
ship than under the present system
and the people pay for it now just as
much as they would then.
The Postoffice Department scandals
have been mentioned. Yet with them
all, who would change the postal sys-
tenn from a public to private enter
prise?
We imagine that our contemporary
Itself would be the last to advocate
such a change. Then why use those
imperfections as an argument against
system which, In point of satisfac-
tory service, is the greatest success
which can be named among American
Institutions?
Ever since our government was born,
the same arguments have been used
against the establishment or the extern
sion of public ownership or public
enterprise OF any kind.
The postal service, the public school,
public roads, bridges and street cross
ings, waterworks, lighting plants
everything Of a public nature-aI have
had the same arguments to meet and
overcome.
Yet now that they have been accom-
rlished. you will not find one person
In a thousand who would go back to
the old order Of things.
We may conclude therefore that the
public ownership of other public utiIi,
ties will, by natural process of eco
nomic evolution, shape itself up as
fast as conditions justify, despite Cd
position OF the kind which our Jack.
sonville contemporary so cleyerly, but
SO transparency, sets up.

WARsHIPs IN COLLISION.
Cruiser Chicago Hits the Damaged
Bennington at San Francisco.

~ AhG
Bennington at San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1S.-The
cruiser Chicago, flagship of the Pacific
squadron flying the flag of Admiral
Goodrich, went aground and later col
lided with the Bennington close to the
lighthouse and fog signal station on
Angel island, in San Francisco harbor,
on arrival from San Diego with the
disabled gunboat Bennington in tow
and accompanied by the naval tug For
tune.
A strong ebb tide was running, and
in the current the tow line on which
the Bennington was trailing parted.
Before Roadway could be stopped the
Chicago ran on the beach. The Ben
ningtOn's momentum carried the gun
boat close to the stern of the stranded
vessel before the anchors took hold.
The tug Fortune soon got a line to
the Chicago and dragged the cruiser
clear of the bottom, but when the Chi
cago came off it took a sheer straight
for the anchored Bennington. The cur
rent of the tide carried the Chicago
across the bow of the anchored vessel,
and there was a smashing Of metal
when the ships came together. Then
the two vessels, afoul of each other,
went drifting on the tide. Both were
considerably damaged.

TRAIN WRECK
KILLS THIRTY.
Train Plunges Into River Near
Bruce Station, Va. Victims
Are COlOred.
CAR WAS SUBMERGED.

NORFOLK, va, Aug. 1S.-At least
thirty negroes, occupying the first car
pf an Atlantic Coast line excursion
train from Kinston, N. O., to this city,
were killed or injured six miles from
this city. The train, consisting of the
engine and six coaches, plunged
through an open draw of the bridge at
Bruce Station, the engine and n
coach being completely submerged in
shout twelve feet of water and the sec
pnd coach partly submerged.
II is dificult at this time to estimate
the exact number of the dead, but it Is
believed that every person in the first
car persisted, none having yet been ac-
counted for.
With the exception of the train crew
and the promoters of the excursion all
on board were colored. The engineer,
fireman and conductor escaped.
The train was running at a rate of
fifteen or twenty miles an hour as it
approached the bridge. The specific or
ders of the road to stop all trains at
the bridge whether the draw is open or
not was apparently ignored. The train
plunged into the abyss. Both engi-
neer and fireman discovered the open
draw too late to stop the train. The
air brakes were applied, but did not
work properly.
The scene following the wreck was
one Of indescribable horror.

n EXPENDITURES.


of @10,00O,OO0 Appropriation.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-It was
officially stated by the isthmian canal
commission that of the appropriation
by congress of $4,000. 600 for the con-
struction of the canal there was on
April 1, 1905, the date on which the
present commission took hold, an avail
able balance to the credit Of this ap-
preparation of $~7,426,568.
During the month of April the ex-
penditures from this appropriation ag-
gregated $475,000; during May, $685.
900; during June, $659,000; during July,
$4,000; for wages, salaries, materials,
supplies and equipment.
During July there was an unusual
expenditure for the purchase of two
ships at $650,000 each not included in
the July expenditures above.
-During the month of August, up to
and including the 18th, $250,000 has
been expended. This left to the bal
ance of the appropriation on Aug. 10
$2,S16, 713, in addition to which each
of the two disbursing officers had in
hand 100000 on that date.
1t will be seen from the foregoing
that the average expenditure per
month, leaving out of consideration the
purchase of these two ships, was in
the neighborhood of $3.50, 900, and at
that rate of expenditure the $2,S16,7 13
will last until early in January, which
is according to the schedule fixed by
Mr.. Shonts on April 1, when he be-
came chairman of the commission.

MOUNT VERNON, N. Y, Aug. 49,
Under a new curfew law Of the local
board of health Mount Vernon roosters
are prohibited from growing between
10 O'Clock at night and 6 O'Clock in the
morning. Dogs are prohibited from
barking during the same hours. The
law reads:
1.-THE maintenance of lowing animals,
Growing cocks, barking dogs and other
birds or animals which produce or are
calculated to create and emit noises of
a degree and kind to disturb the sleep
and quiet of the nelghborhood within
the same hours is hereby prohibited"
Not only does it restrict the growing
of that great American bird whose lib
efty has from time immemorial been
guaranteed by the unwritten laws, but
the ordinance hits at the Harlem and
New Haven railroads by prohibiting
the shunting of cars during prohibited
hours. The ringing of large bells or the
blowing of steam whistles is forbidden
sA1S0 under the penalty of a fine of not
less than SIS nor more than $50 for each
oirense.
As the fire bell and whistle are not
exempted 1t would seem that persons
sending In an alarm Of fire, thereby
causing bells to ring and the big whis-
tie to blow, will be liable to suffer.
The ordinance goes into effect on
Saturday. People are awaiting with
interest the practical result of the new
mandate of the board of health. of
which DR.. A. M. Campbell, M of the
leading physicians of the city, is presi-
dent.
