him. 1 shall vote for Mr.. Goldsborough
as the only effectual way l have to pre-
vent all inefficient administration by the

Both Within Jurisdiction.

The court will be asked to issue the
mandamus against both the companies,
as the law requires them to perform the
duty lin conjunction AS the transit
company has already expressed it's will
lingness to comply with the requirements
of Congress, the new suit as to it will be
friendly one but in order that the court
may act properly it is necessary that
both be brought within it's jurisdiction in
the suit.
1t is hoped by this proceedings that a
definite. clear-cut decision may be OBJ
tanned from the court as to the power of
Congress to require two separate street
railroad companies within the District
to permit a passenger to ride in one con-
tinuous journey over the lines of both,
upon payment of but a single fare. 1t is
expected that the Capital Traction Com
pany will claim that in imposing this re-
quirement Congress exceeded it's consti-
in taking the property of the company for
public use without just compensation
therefor.
The advantage of presenting this
single question for decision is that
should the court decide that Congress
has exceeded it's constitutional powers
in requiring free transfers at this
single point at 14th and kennedy
streets. it will be clear that Congress
is without the power to require free
transfers at any other point
May Be Carried Further.
Should the decision be that Congress
has not exceeded its constitutional pow
ers in this instance, the way will then be
clear to ask Congress to exercise a SIM
liar power in other instances. either
by itself passing law or by delegating
its power to some body, such as the Dis
trict Commissioners.
MIR. Darr is at work securing the evil
dence that will be needed to convince the
court that not merely the rights Of indi-
vidual passengers are involved, but that
the refusal of the Capital Traction Com
pany to perform the duty imposed upon
it by the statute results in serious in
jury to the public at large. The petition
for the writ is being prepared by Attor-
new Wood and is expected to be filed
early next week.
The writ of mandamus is known as
one of the extraordinary remedies at
common law, and is defined as being the
proper proceeding by which to compel
the performance of Il plain legal public
duty owed hy IL person or a corporation.
As il is regarded as a severe remedy. it
lies i'm the discretion Of the court whether
the writ shall issue, and the petitioner
is required to show that there exists Il
wiliful default in the performance of the
duty imposed. for which default there
is no specific or adequate remedy except
by this writ. When the writ issues ii

The magnitude of tine landslide appears
to have stunned the liberals who have
held office for fifteen consecutive years,
and who firmly believed that they were
destined to remain i'm power for many
years TO come.

pressed for Sir Wilfrid Laurer. llis
clean and gallant fight on behalf of reei-
prooity is recognized by opponents as
we'll as supporters as one of the most
notable campaigns ever undertaken IN
Canada. That his efforts were not
crowned with success is still matter of

More Money for Buildings.

The biggest surprise Of the conference

appropriations for commencing work on

schools. Instead of reducing the amounts
stipulated by the board OF education the
Commissioners decided to considerably in

The board of education has decided
