This city is not going to out-bolshevk the bolshe-

All this talk of not paying for the street railway is
plain rot We will pay for it unless there is good

Whether there are good legal grounds no one knows
The mayor has been shooting off his mouth about
suit to cancel the contract and suit to recover part
of the purchase money, but has so far done nothing
about institutng such suit. There is nothing in
the world to stop him. Is he merely pedding the
bunk?
In the absence of such suit and in the absence of
any but flanne-mouthed conversation, the city is
going to pay the bonds. 1t is going to be square 1t
is not going to be crooked, and shifty, and under

THE CITY RAILWAY is now raking in more than
$4,000 day. This will aggregate S6,500000
year or more. This is enough to pay all expenses
and interest and leave surplus after paying an in
stallment of 1898, 900 on the bonds.
The railway is seeing daylight now. But there
appear those who DO NOT WANT the railway to see
daylight. They want it to be failure.
They want it to default And they're bringing
suit to make it default-Mayor Caldwe's represent
ative, Wimon Tucker, and handful of other tax
payers"
At the present rate Of income the city would be
foolish to default. The outlook never more

"Aida" proved such tremendous sue
cess this year, that he will put on "Car-
men" next year In costume, action and
stage setting, similar to Aida. Besides
this the great choruses by Elgar, "Go
Forth Upon Thy Journey, "The Chsl-
lengs of Thor" and "Light of the World,
will be studied; also the chorus from
'Stabat Mater, "Biessed Jssus", by
Dvorak, with the "Phautom Chorus"
from "Ls Somnambula". Beside these
Prof. Chapman has decided upon three
smaller numbers, "The Land Where. Hate
Should Die", "Love Like the Dawn Came
Stealing, and II Hear Thrush at Eve"
