NASHVILLE’8 EXPERIMENT IN MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
Nashville is several sizes smaller than New York and may be
said to lag behind that metropolis in several particular* besides crime
and corruption. On one line, however. It has progressed beyond New
York, and has set that gre.H city an example In municipal thrift and
efficiency. Municipal ownership of public utilities has had a fair trial
In Nashville, and the report shows that the experiment of over two
years ago is an established success today.
While New York has a big lighting scandal on her hands, Involv-
ing secret contracts, extortionate charges and corrupt corporations,
Nashville shows a nice profit in her electric light and water works
departments. The lighting service of this city has been trebled dur-
ing the put year, while the coat per arc lamp hu been reduced more
than half. In the water works department the showing is even more
gratifying. A clear profit of $43,930 hu been made by the city, over
and above all expenditures, and omitting the free water furnished
the city.
Nashville has had surely no Cause to regret the progressive step
taken by her municipal administration nearly three years ago. It has
worked for economy, profit, and stands today as the chief among the
progressive features of the city.

A SQUARE DEAL.
Probably no two w >rd« of President
IliKJHovuit before the November elec-
tion made him more friends than
when lie wild lie would give the
trusts a ".square deal."
I'll Paso wants a square deal in
municipal ownership of water works.

When corporations hih-hJ their

Is due them. Some of them, in a grow-

convagemenl and protection of our
authorities and citizen*
Take, for Instance, the El Paso
Electric street Railway company. It

calities where the traffic was insuffi-
cient to pay the expense. It has
done everything to advance the Inter
cuts of the city, and El Paso’s rod-
dern-e building iteriod started with
lliat electric installment.
The car company i» not only enti-
tled to a square deal, hut it merit*
some protection! for the thousand* of
dollars Invested. At least Its success
should not be endangered by grant-
ing a franchise to any new concern
in a field thoroughly covered by the

Tht« thing of harrasslng corpora

years to come. The present company'

RADIUM AND QUACKS.
What ha* happened In Mexico City!
to cause the morning paper there to j
produce the following article on medi-
cal swindles? The Herald says:
Every new scientific discovery Is,
seised upon by quacks for exploitation !
ami money-making. Radium wan *|
discovery of great Importance, and;
ha* betm utilized In many way* by j

Integrity. The other day a few vla|s !
containing this precious substance;
were sent to Vienna for use in curing '
cancer. Much notoriety has been given!
in the proa* to the experiments made
with radium; hence the public mind
lisa been prepared for the scheme*
of swindlers. I11 New York, some doc-
tors have been Indicted for having

mailing about $10,000 In all, for vials
said to contain radium and pre-
scribed for kidney trouble. It Is
charged that rh*' vials held no radium
at all, In medieval times charlatans
accumulated great wealth by vending
medicines, claimed lo lie of extraor-
dinary potency, and composed of vari-
ous substances, including powder of
precious stones and gold. Rick people,
with money, are easily worked upon
by imposters who announce their abil-
ity to cure disease, using medicines
and treatment* costing large sum*
in our time the most daring quack*
have utlllz4>d the rare substance, ra-
dium, and have fatten able to point in
support of their own claims to the
somewhat extravagant assertion* of
scientists regarding Its possible effi-
ciency. The world is always getting
older, but grows little wiser, as repeat-
ttd exposures of -medical swindles
demonstrate.
The trade excursion of K1 Paso mer-
chants to Mexico is sure to bring goon
results.

tbe failure of the Russian fortes hi
whip Japan to everything except the
true cause—the refusal of the Japs to
be whipped.
The house bill making it a felony to
.teal a goal or sheep ha* passed the
Texas senate. If a man will steal a
whole herd of sheep he Is a captain
of finance.
The Sierra Mad re country, where
Mr. Greene's road Is about to pene-
trate, will make El Paso the supply
point for the greatest mining section
ever opened up in the southwest.
The administration consented to the
reopening of the Seventh street dance
hall because the officials thought it ao
tar away from’the business part of the
city that It would not be offensive to
any one.
The Municipal Ownership ticket has
the confidence of the people. The poli-
ticians are afraid of It and well they
may be, for It is going to be elected
next April and the people of El Paso
will get pure mesa water.
The surrendered democrats are now
hnstling around trying to persuade
“Wo, the Municipal Ownership Party, be-
lieving that the health and prosperity of the peo-
ple of El Paso, and the welfare of ^lie city is
imperiled by the present water sitnnwon;, and
appreciating this crisis, we appeal to all voters to
rise above partisanship, to be controlled by pub-
lic duty rather than party servitude; and we
present, for their support our ticket pledged to the
following principles:
1. We demand mesa water.
2. We insist that no more franchises for (
water works be granted and that no existing fran-
chises be extended in time nor modified in form.
•1. We favor the earliest forfeiture of all
existiug private water franchises, and the instal-
lation of a water works system to lie owned and
operated by the city.
4. We favor public improvements and es-
pecially do we favor the improving of streets and
sidewalks.
5. We denounce political rings, who dictate
candidates regardless of public sentiment by re-
fusing the people a voice in selecting tickets.
G. We denounce political corruption, the
herding and buying of voters, and the illegal
purchase of poll tax receipts, and we promise a
strenuous prosecution of persons guilty of these
offenses.
A CARD.
My atUmtlou has bwu called to a
statement published In th;> Evening
,N4>ws by the official mudslinger for
the alleged democratic HckBt, ta
which the said official mud-»llnger
state* that I, in cumpxny with Max
Miller, called on the chief of police 10
the interest of the dance halls. This
is a falsehood, manufactured from tne
whole cloth, and brands its author as
a liar. The mayor and police force
know better than any one else that I
have always been opposed to dance
halls, and last summer Mayor More-
head promised me they should be
closed. About ten days ago business
men who own property on Utah street
told me. in the presence of two alder-
men. that tbe police were allowing a
dance hall to run on Seventh street as
a kind of monopoly, and. at the re-
quest of an alderman, 1 spoke to the
mayor and chief of police about it,
stating to them that, if one dance hall
was to be allowed to run, then ail
dance halls south of Third street
should enjoy the same privilege. Chlet
Hall agreed with me. The mayor is
strongly opposed to dnnee lulls and
said he regretted that any of them
were running. Every politician in
Paso knows that I have openly
posed dance halls for year*.

the following is an extract;
The Sun,
New York, Sept. St 1905.
Dear Sir:
When the war department was ad-
vised that Jefferson Davis would be
landed at Fort Monroe. Mr. Stanton
appointed Gen. Miles, then a colonel,
to the command of the fortress, and
sent Gen. Halleck, then chief of staff
to the army and myself to supervise
the landing and see that everything
that could look toward the safety 01

tended to. • * *
The disposition of his guards about
the Casemate, and of the sentry who
was constantly within It, were under
the orders of Gen. Halleck; while I, on
my part, executed the Instructions 1
had received from the secretary by
directing Col, Miles to see that the
prisoner was prevented from doing
violence to himself, or from forcing
the guard within the casemate to ao
violence to him. by the application or
handcuffs, tf he (Col. Miles! should
think that application to be prudent.
This order was of a purely precau-
tionary nature, and was not. founded
at all upon any wish to humiliate the
prisoner. I am, dear sir, very truly
yours, C. A. DANA.
Mr. Leslie J. Perry.
The insinuations that discourtesies
were shown Mr. Davis or his people

tracts from letters written during Ins

RUMORS OF CONSOLIDATION.
It Is Thought That Alabama Proper-

Birmingham, Ala,, Feb 7,-—A spe-
cial to the Age-Herald from New York
says:
Many rumors wer^heard here today
of consolidation* of southern Iron
properties, aroused in part by the ac
tlvlty of Southern Iron company
stocks and the announcement that the
recent purchaser of the Alabama Con-
solidated Coal and Iron company Is
the International Power company of
New York. This company owns nr
controls practically all the great loco-
motive works in the United States
and Canada, and it* next move In con-
nection with southern iron companies
is being watched with Interest, as the
recent purchase give# them a strong
hand toward fur;her consolidation.
An unusual stir wftlt be caused in
Alabama by the announcement that
the International Power company and
Ei Its allied interests are now becoming
op- factors in the broad development of
the iron and steel Industry of the
state.

Following the appearance of a book
entitled. “The Personal Life of Jeffer-
son Davis," purporting to have been
written by Surgeon Craven, who was
on duty at Fort Monroe, but in real-
ity, it is alleged, the work of Charles
G. Halpln, numerous affidavits were
secured from army officers who were
stationed at the Fort during Mr. Da-
vis’ imprisonment. These all testi-
fied to the fact that the treatment of
Mr. Davi* was all IliHt humanity de-
manded and as considerate as possi-
ble with proper regard for his safe
keeping.
All the changes I hat were mane
from time to time, by which Mr. Du-
vis was allowed greater liberty and ad-
ditional comforts—In fact, luxuries—
were made. Jt Is claimed, by Gen.
Miles or upon his recommendation,
and he also recommended that he
either ba brought to trial or released.
He was finally released in May, 1807,
