REAL IsSuE N FRANCHISE FIGHT.

Today we publish another communication
from Rev Geo ". Mcdaniel, d. D., in which
he reads into The Tirpintan'S utterances on
franchise a partisan attitude which We have
ncAer- assumed and IN which he permits his
own zeal TO bring him 10 imputations OF a
personal character which we do not deem it
Necessary to notice further.
Dr, Mcdaniel again challenges us to dis
cnss with him the matter Of the lieht and
power franchise TO the Richmond aud Hea-
rico Company. and in doing charges us
with failure to take decided stand against
what he terms private monopoly. TIE Viz
gjf5aa IS against monopoes, and in matters
of vital moment to the people, where it sees
its Way clear to do a public service does not
hesitate 10 express its opinion with directness
and candor. It does not follow from this
hat a newspaper ought necessarily to take
"A partisan stand on every public question that

minister Of the gospel TO do so. In the matter
OF the proposed franchise the questions
which must be considered if it is 70 be logi-
cally determined are so intricate and require
so much OF special knowledge that We feel
impeied TO hold opinion in allegiance.
Everything that The Trginian has had TO
say on this question has been Of "a Hypothetical
character. We think we see the correct
principle, which is broadly as we have already
stated, that the only thing for the city au-
thorties to consider is the lest interest OF
the city. In the matter Of public utility
such as light and power, that interest can
only be determined upon a consideration of
the -qualitgof service, the cost of service,
and the power OF regulation of the corpora
ton or corporations which furnish it. If the
Council shall decide. after thorough inquiry
and acquaintance with results in other cities
that competing franchise will not result in
duplication OF plant and in increase of
invested capital beyond the power of normal
or reasonably prospective consumption TO sup
port We shall be glad TO see the franchise
granted. Such a question, however cannot be
decided friendship or prejudice or inclina-
ton, Its decision must rest upon careful in
with exact information as to the experiences
of other cities in like circumstances In saying
sc much We are not counseling undue delay.
we are merely insisting that the interests II
the city and the people who must ultimately
ray the dividends on all capital invested is too
great to justify anything in the way OF hasty
or sentimental judgment
