HOPE FOR GAS USERS.

A ANNOUNCEMENT is made that the Com
4 mercial Heat, Light and Power Company
has paid to the city the first nstalment, $I2soo
of the $4,000 which that company agreed to pay
as bonus to the city for franchise to operate
here gas and electric company. Those who
have been hoping and sighing for relief from the
imposition of extortionate and ever-ncreasng
bills of the present gas company, will be encour-
aged to believe that relief will soon be at hand
An opposition electric light company has done
wonders for our city, and has given us a rate for
both light and power perhaps lower than any
other city in the United States using coal for the
generation Of electric current There is no rea-
son to doubt that competing gas company will
be equally beneficial to Our city and be the means
of giving to the people not only better gas but
at a price at least somewhere near what It was
eight or ten years ago, before the company was
bought and felinto the control Of capitalists liv-
ing outside OF our city.

OUR coUNTRY's GREATEST DAY.

a IL through the country voting is going on
= to-day The American people are exer-
csiug their rights of sef-govemment. The two
political parties are lined up against each other
and the verdict Of the voters of the greatest COM
monwealth the world has seen, is anxiously
awaited. The highest privilege of citizenship is
the right to vote. Upon the men of this coun-
try rests its future. The day is a nionlentous one
and it is one on which every man should feel
proud that he is an American We have the
rights for which many people have struggled
for years to gain. Yet how indifferent are some
Of us to those rights. Thousands of men do not
avail themselves of these opportunities to have a
voice in governmental affairs. They are careless,
thoughtless and neglectful Despotisms, king
doms and empires in which there is rule by "di-
vine right" exist for such non-voters. They del
egate their authority to others.srA As Mr.. Hilles
said in Opera House address, about the worst
citizen is the man who doesn't vote at all.

Keep the Autos Quiet.
he Evenlng Journal.

Editor The Evening Journal.
The demoniacal noise made by the
warning apparatus attached to many
automobiles that are allowed to rush
through the streets OF the city ought
TO be stopped at once 1t has become
more OF nuisance and menace than
the shrill whistle Of the locomotive.
The warning apparatus Of the auto
mobile began with a gong. That is
less Objectionable than the wind instru-
ment that often sounds like the dismal
wall OF a legion Of souls imprisoned in
hades, and the more horrible the
noise the more delight the autoist
seems to feel in making It. The ''honk
honk" is bad enough, but that could be
endured. The demen-like wall, how
ever. is too much to impose upon law
abiding community.

that VIC have a truer and higher con-
ception OF American freedom than his
small mind could possibly be made to
catch a glimmer OF. But in the Sec
ond speakers opinion Mr.. Kenney did
not appeal sufficiently to the carnal.
which he assumed must surely pre-
dominate in man. SO with a short
prelude which was worthy OF coming
from the lips Of a true man, he must
needs launch out into a tirade OF SLAM

the party in power. and. naming them

as characterless eraftsrs.

The accident on the new electric
road Of the Pennsylvania railroad over
"The Thoroughfare." near Atlantic
city, should be a warning to the offi-
cials OF that and other railroads to i'm
mediately adopt a strict rule to compel
the crew OF trains to slow up upon en-
terihg bridges, especially drawbridges.
While the various companies may claim
that such rule has always been in
vogue, II is a well-known fact among
railroad travellers that there are fire.
quent daily instances when the rule Is
not observed. have ridden on trains a
number of times when they have passed
over bridges at a high rate OF speed,
and have always felt apprehensive Of
my safety until the train reached the
other side OF the structure. It would
require the loss OF very little time to
adopt such a method. and would often
be the means OF saving the lives of
many persons. I venture to say that
no such accident as that of Sunday
would have had such a disastrous ter
mination II the train had been going at
slow speed.
