Let Each Man
Show His SYMPATHY.

Every man who feels real civic
pride and genuine interest in his
home city, should go to the open
meeting of the councils franchise
committee tonight The committee
invites public opinion, and the num-
Der of letters received by The Jour
nal, some supporting, some oppos-
ing, our ideas regarding the terms Of
use of Garden street by the street
railway, show conclusively that the
question is a very live one.
Each man can by his presence back
up those who voice his sentiments,
whether they advocate or oppose the
turning over the street to the corpor-
alton on the terms suggested in the
pending ordinance.
What is done now, in this matter,
is binding for years, establishing a
precedent for future actions of the
city and establishing, perhaps, the fu-
ture relations between the public and
public utility corporation.
1t is a time when every man should,
as far as occasion permits, give evil
dence of his ideas on the questions
involved, to sustain the city in with
holding what ought not to be granted,
or to justify the council in paying too
high price for one convenience at
the cost of another, as the case may
be
In any. event, The Journal hopes
that the public attendance will be
large, and that it will be thoroughly

Journals ideas are sustained. or
whether the railroads wishes, as ex-
pressed by the ordinance, are to gov

is entitled to such guidance as a
representative gathering can afford.
The issue is the present and the fu-
lture condition of our public streets,
and the future relations between the
citizens and a corporation that en-

straffic. On the terms on which this
monopoly is enjoyed will depend

Did it really? Suppose We wait =
month or two and see what effect the
little bill has on the aforesaid gam

the people of Pensacola: Get out the
