Service Commissions law the Coney Island q Brook
iyn Railroad Company was compelled to give 10 the
commission its intention to increase the rate Oh
fare from Manhattan and points north OF Kings

the increase went into effect.
Den3s Sullivan. the superintendent OF the road-
was at various points along the line where trouble
vas expected. and twenty policemen were stationed
IN the neighborhood of the Park Circle 10 prevent
di.oraer Captaiu James H Kelly of the Parkville
station held his reserves in readiness all night but
there was little trouble.
Last month President HUI OF the company
sent a letter TO the commission, in which he
iineu-the Smith street. DeKalb avenue and Frank
lin avenue-at the scent rate. When, however.
the attention OF the company was called TO the
clause of The Law providing for a thirty days no
tice withdrew its notice to the public, and after
several days interval sent word TO the commission
IT would In thirty days raise the rate OF fare
to Coney Island.
Now that the company has carried out Its inten-
tion the commission do nothing to prevent IT,
unless formal complaint questioning the justice of
the rate is made. The commission can then mako
an inquiry and determine whether the 10-cent rate
IS justified In view OF the increase in the fare and
probable complaint the commission has been busy
for the last month examining the returns made by
conductors trips between Manhattan and Coney
Island gathering figures for in the inquiry
The Coney Island & Brooklyn lines up to the pres
ent been charging only five cents for the trip
between Manhattan and Coney Island, except
Saturdays Sundays and holidays. when the rate
was 10 cents from points north OF Kings Highway
20 Ooney Island. or from points south OF Kings
Highway TO Manhattan. The fare the lines of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company has been 10
cents on all days during the summer
The officials OF the Coney Island & Brooklyn
company assert that owing to the b-cent rate
holiday makers have sought their lines and pre-
vented the road from handling the profitable short
ride trafsc to points in Brooklyn Another alleged
reason for the increase in fare that many
expenditures had beea made in the Improvement OF
the ccmpany's rolling stock and roadbed that the
lines could not be operated prohtably a scent

GUFFEY AND BRYAN.

In ANY dispute between Colonel Bryan and
= Colonel James NJ Guffey, the boss of the So
called Democracy of Pennsylvania, there is little
doubt where the verdict will be given.
Under the leadership Of Guffey in the State and
Ryan and Donnelly in the city of Philadelphia
the Democracy has sunk so low that it has be-
come mere trading organization. 1t has been
unable to put up an effective opposition.
Because of the grotesque alleged leadership of
these gentry, the gang in Philadelphia and
throughout the State, "the corrupt and criminal
organization masking as Republicans has been
allowed to carry on its predatory operations with
out resistance worthy of the name.
The low condition of political morals in Penn
sylvania is due to Guffey and his satellites, as
well as to the gang organization In any COM
munity there should always be strong minority
party. Where one party is overwhelmingly in the
majority, boss rule and corrupt organizations are
sure to follow and dominate the affairs of a city
State regardless of the welfare of the citizens.
Such a condition has been brought about in Penn
sylvania and in Philadelphia.
If Bryan kicks Guffey and his followers out of
the Democratic organization he will perform an
act for which he ought to be thanked by Penn
sylvanans of all political parties.

were largely patronized.
Most Of the steamboat lines had made
preparations for the great holiday
crowds. On the Wilson boat line, in
addition to the usual boats. the steamer
Springfield was placed into service to
accommodate the exceedingly large
patronage. In accordance with the
new Federal law all boats on the Del

capacity and customs officers were at
each wharf to see that all safeguards
against accidents and overcrowdirg

Both the Peoples Railway and the
Wilmington City Railway put in extra

Fourth street wharf. Tine new extern

Company proved decided convenience.
The Peoples Railway Company had a
