Change Course of
Palafox Street Car Line.

Now that money from the bond is
sue will soon be available for street
paving purposes and the long looked
Tor street improvements can be com
menced, there is one feature of con
siderable importance in this connec
ton which will have to be taken vi
and settled before the street paving
Is laid if it is settled at all.
We refer TO the proposition, pre-
Tiously mentioned in The Journal. tc
change the course of the Palafox
street car tracks between Garden and
Wright streets, from the plot in the
center OF the thoroughfare to the
sides Of the street where they should
have been laid in the first place.
When Palafox street was laid out
as it now exists, 1t was evidently the
intention to have all traffic and travel
take their course along the respective
sides Of the street. ana the center to
be reserved as a park and a place Of
rest, recreation, and pleasure. This
view Of it is sustained by the fact
That driFeways were laid out and grad
ed on each side OF this center plot,
and the latter would probably never
have been used for any other purpose
than that originally intended had It
not been that the street car company
appropriated it to its own use when
the first car track was laid.
As the situation now exists, the
street car company has a, franchise
permitting it to use that portion of the
street and can and probably will con-
tinue to use it if some inducement is
not held out by the city to secure the
desired change. Whatever reasonable
Inducement may be necessary. the
Eity should make, for the car tracks.
q changed at all. will have to be
ehanged before the street paving is
commenced.
With this center portion reserved
and improved as a public park, con.
Banning trees, flowers, fountains seats
walks, and other accessories Of such
places, that part of Palafox street
can be made with little expense one
OF the most beautiful streets in the
world. This part of the town is one
which will first attract the eye of a,
visitor and with the change and i'm
prOTement which We have suggested
1t win leave favorable and lasting
Impression on everyone who sees it |
The Journal hopes that the city
council will take this matter up at
once. The people want that part of
the street, the street car company
does not need it, and the change
should be made.

The Post Check Currency
System

OySterni
The petition asking for the expul
!, sion of Senator Thos. c.. Platt, which
was laid before the senate last Mon
day and referred to the committee on
| privileges and elections, will bring
into prominence the efforts now
pending to secure what is known as
the Post Check system for sending
money through the mails.
The petition asking for the expul.
sion of Senator Plat alleges that
Platt should be deprived of his seat
= because as president of the United
States Express Company he is an Off
Ger of a combination or trust consist
ing of all the principal express COM
panies of the country, who cooperate
to keep rates up and thus restrict
and hinder trade and commerce, in
violation Of the Sherman antitrust
law. The petition is supported by
afidavits to the effect that Mr.. Plat
in the course of an interview, an
nounced that he would fight the Post
Check bill because Post Checks would
tend to lessen his express company's
money order business, and that he
would oppose any other measure that
seemed against the interest Of the
express companies, as "what affected
one affected all"
knowing him as it has come to
know him during the past year or
two. the public will not be surprised
that Senator Plat should oppose any
thing which might prove detrimental
to the special interests which hire
him to represent them in the senate.
and it only remains to be seen
whether or not those special interests
can control majority of that body
The Post Check currency system is
inten0led to provide a means if send
ing money through the mails which
is simple, safe, and convenient and
which is cheaper than bank draft or
an express order.
1t is proposed by this system to re-
print all $1.OO. $500 and $500 Treas
ury notes, coin or silver certificates

of the new bills provided with blank
lines on which to write the name and
address of the person or firm to whom
the remittance is sent
This would be the ordinary money
of the day. Then when one wishes
to send money by mail, say $500, he
takes such a bill from his pocketbook,
