CHILpS ORDEAL.

Next after food and drink, medicine and shell
Ter. what the Chilians seem 70 need most at
nresent Is an assurance that the work OF destruc-
tion begun last week is really ended. The fire.
ouent occurrence Of minor shocks, nearly hun
dred Of which have been reported In the last five
or six days, is extremely demOraliz1ng Those
who have made the most careful study Of
such phenomena insist that the tremOrs which
promptly follow a heavy shock are practically
harmless and really a guarantee against Tepe-
fition of disaster Very few persons however,
ara familiar with this comforting doctrine, and
there seems to be no easy way by which it can be
ouicl,Iv disseminated where 1t is most required.
The newspapers In Valparaiso have apparently
not resumed publication yet, and 1t IS doubtful
whether official procamadOns could be printed
and distributed quickly enough 20 do much good
Perhaps it may be necessary TO rely solely on
that familiarity with the disturbing experience
which will at last breed indifference, If not
contempt.
One OF the most gratifying features Of the
situation is the intelligent and energetic action
Of the national government for the relief Of the
sufferers Some Of the work done by the Ohilian
sailors may be attributed 70 orders from their
immediate commanders, but in transporting sup
plies from other points the warships seem to
have complied with instructions from Santiago
Again, troops appear 10 be employed not only in
the maintenance Of order but also In foraging
for beef and other available food. II one OF
the reports from Chill may be trusted. the gov
ernment IS already taking a long look ahead
II Is rylmored that Congress win be asked 20

building of Valparaiso Senior Pedro Montt

! demonstrated. II Is well for American admin
istrators TO study such matters personally, at
close range, as Mr.. Mcclellan is doing, and lot
intelligent and discriminating writers TO por-
tray the whole situation impartally, as Mr.
Ford has been doing tn his letters In The IT'D
une for the information and guidance or the
American public By such means. and through
the observations and reports of such commits
sions as that which has gone from this city TO
ENGLAND TO study the question, we may hope
presently 10 be enabled TO Judge the European
example at tts true value: and we believe the
conviction will then be general that tho system
which enjoys at best only partial and limited
success abroad is not suited TO adoption in the
great cities Of the United States
In one respect, however, the European example
is so well established and presents so marked
record OF beneicence that we may reckon 1t
high time for Il to be adopted here. That is
the example, not Of municipal ownership and
operation, but Of municipal control. In huro-
pean cities franchises mean something on Doth
Sides They do not make of the corporations
which receive them chartered hberunes, out
they subject them TO a supervision as extended
and to a control as unfailing as their own actvi-
ties. There IS no such thing there as giving a
corporation perpetual franchise and then turn
ing IL loose 10 work its own sweet Will upon the
public There is no condoning or toleratng high
charges and poor service on the ground that
only thus can dividends be paid. The govern
ment does not concern itself with the profits
OF the corporation. Its view Of the case is that
dividends or no dividends, the corporation has
got TO give the public satisfactory service.
That is the secret Of a great part OF such advan|
tages as European cities have over American
cities To initiate here these features of Euro
pean administration might not be so sensational
or so gratifying TO self-eyploting faddists as in-
discriminate municipal ownership and operation,
but there is reason to think it might,prove more
practical and more profitable.

PUBLIC UTILITIES ABROAD.

A recent dispatch from Berlin reported Mayor
Mcclellan as saying that he was not greatly i'm
pressed with the success OF municipal ownership
and operation 1n European cities Of various pub
lie utilities which IN this country are commonly
left IN the hands Of private chartered corpora
ttons. This expression Of opinion will not cause
much surprise TO judicious observers and stu
dents OF such matters; certainly not to readers
OF the exceptionally informed and informing
letters which The Tribunes London correspond
ent has Of late been contributing to our columns
concerning the administration OF public utili-
ties IN a number Of specimen British towns and
cities. It WILL IN fact, be accepted accord
ing with and confirming the best expert opinion
now extant That IS not TO say that municipal
operation is everywhere a failure In some
places 4t unQuestonably seems 10 be a success,
giving improved service at decreased cost to
The public and without an increase Of taxation.
IN some places its success is equivOcal, the cost
TO consumers being cheapened, but the rates TO
taxpayers being raised. In some places. again,
9t IS apparently a serious disappointment, the
service not being improved or cheapened and
taxation being increased. Some towns seem to
pYe much Of their attTactiveness and prosperity
TO the municipal system. while others, as AIr
Ford showed on Sunday IN his interesting letter
from Scarborough. fare equally well under the
old system.
These considerations do not necessarily con-
denim the municipal operation system for Amer
lean application any more than the apparent or
initial and temporary success Of it In some
places demonstrated its desirabllity for all
places; though there can be, think, little Ques-
ton that the trend OF intelligent opinion, based
upon careful observation and study, is increas-
ingly TO the effect that European experience with
municipal ownership and operation does not thus
far justify a general adoption OF the system In
this country. The question is complex One First
II is necessary to observe in what proportion OF
places il works well, IN what indifferently, and
in what badly, and the reasons fOr it's so work
ing in the respective places. Then the differ
ences IN general conditions between European
and American municipalities must be cOnsid-
cred, and we must determine II we can whether
American conditions, on the whole, resemble the
more closely those IN which the system has
succeeded or those in which it has failed in Eu-
rope. Again, the question Of wear and tear
and Of tendencies with the lapse OF time must
be Kept 50 mind. There are English towns and
cities sn which Tor q few years the system
seemed brilliant success, but when the plant
had 90 be renewed and other conditions changed
the balance sheets began 20 show different re-
suits II IS not a good thing for this country
to embrace heedlessly any new thing which
may be put forward in some foreign land, in
circumstances entirely different from our own
