REMARKABLY AGGRESSIVE ATTEMPT
OF CArITAL.-One of the most re-
markable attempts to foist monopoly
upon great municipality was the
plans for the City Council OF Philadcl-
phia to grant gas franchise for IS
years to a grasping monopoly. 1t was
known that it would pass the council
and the people seem to have arisen
almost en- mass to protest against the
steal, as it was very generally called.
Among the notable protests was that OF
an assemblage of 100 Methodist minis.
tiers, who had been holding rcgu-
lar weekly meeting, and their march
bodily to the city hall, where they en-
phasized their protests by bendedknee
appeals to the Supreme Being for
strength and courage to Mayor Weav-
er to enable him to defeat the contem-
plated gas legislation. They left with
the assurance that his determination
would not waver SO far as his veto and
personal influence would so TO prevent
the outrage.
