"A Z eason from Glasgow.

| Tho city Of Glasgow. which has long
been hold up MS nm exelnplnr IN munich
pal operation, has, according to al nrti-
clio in the New Yorl, Tribune, mado q
dismal failure In undertaking to oper-
ate a telephone plant. This plant, we
are told, was installed to rescue the
citizens from the clutches Of a grasping
monopoly a private corporation, which
was doing business In the city. But the
plant cost nearly twice al much MS was
originally cstimn ted, and, aftcrg all was
found to be too old-fashioned to- give q
satisfactory service. "A new SWITCH oard,
costing about $500, 900, was needed, and, in.
order to raise the necess airy money, the city
found that it would be Obliged to Issue
bonds. 1t was finally determined there's.
fore, that the best way out OF the diff
Guilty was to sell the property, and that
course has been adopted Two offers,
were made for the plant--one from the
corporation which the city authorities
had been lighting ~ the other from the
Postofflce Department, which IN England
conducts tho telegraph service. The
governments bid was 100000 lower than
that OF the old company but the city
was afraid to commit itself to- tho mo-
5nopoly, and accepted the governments
offer. 1t remains to be seen whether
tho government will mako the enterprise
pay, and at the same time give q salts
factory service to the public.
The story, IN a nutshell Is that the
municipality undertook to compete in thu
same line, OF enterprise with n private
corporation. and. In spite Of its advan--}
'tage was whipped to q finish. The story
has 4 local significance, which some OF
the enthusiastic advocates In Richmond
Of municipal operation may study TO-

We now understand the position OF
the Iynchburg News as to the course
1t thinks the railroads should have pur-
sued with reference to the Churchman
law Tho News contends they should
have made technical refusal to sell
tho mileage books and have thus made
test case, and then put the mileage
books OH sale, and kept them on sale
until tho courts had relieved them Of
tho responsibility.
The News thinks the roads should have
pursued this course to show their rcadi-
ness TO obey the laws OF the State, and
should not have undertaken to nullify
a State law by simply disrcgardlng it.-

course. indeed, on the part Of the rail-
roads. Believing the act to be uncon-
stitutlonnl, and, therefore, not q law had
gested by the Lynchburg News. pending
tho action OF tho courts, they would have
nut themselves In the absurd and incon-
sistont position of doing wrong merely
for the sake OF doing wrong. II we
