It would not be difficult to convince the people who patronise the Marietta branch of the Georgia Railway and Electric Company that there la a grave -necessity 'for the regulation of the afreet railway company. They have suffered In a great many forms from a lack of those facilities to ^rhich they are reasonably en titled. The fare Itself would appear to be quite out of proportion to that which Is chirged on the other subur ban lines of the company, and what Is of at least equal moment la the fact that while the people of Marietta have freely granted to the corporation the right to use the streets of their ctiy, the company has not seen lit to provide any depot facilities whatever. At this end of tho line the same condition prevails, and while the Marietta cars atop directly In front of the Georgia Railway and Electric Company’s magnificent of fices In which It would be easy, one would think, to tablish some kind of a waiting room, the fact Is that no provision whatever la made to shelter waiting patrons from the sun and the wind and the rain. All this Is but part and parcel of. the arbitrary and ■elfish manner In which this autocratic monopoly admin isters Its affairs without regard to the comfort and pleas- ure of Its patrons. This new line Is becoming one of the most popular and prosperous In the entire system. It Is only fair that all the auxiliary facilities which such a line requires should be supplied for the patrons of the road. But fre quent remonstrances seem to have met with no substan tial responae, and those who live In Marietta and Atlanta and along the connecting lines have too long suffered from the greed and the selfishness of the Georgia Rail way and Electric Company. Perhapa this company thinks that It can go on In definitely Ignoring the just demands of the people, but we verily believe that a public sentiment Is being aroused In this community which would mako It the part of wis dom for the company to make some concessions to the , people before, they fatigue Indignation and drive the peo ple to make (he Georgia Railway and Electrto Company, with all Its allied utilities, one of the paramount and Sleepless Issues of the hdur. “Al” Adams Again. Information comes from New York that "Al” Adams, the notorious policy king and backer of M. J. Sage & Co., after having failed a few woeks since for some thing like 12,000,000, Is now making arrangements to open up his chain of bucket shops again. Of course It Is no part of hla purpose to return to the defrauded and confiding customers the $2,000,000 which they trusted to him. But a life of commonplace tranquillity Is unendurable to this high financier and hit able lieutenants, so he Is making arrangements, accord lag to this rumor, to resurrect such of his old bucket shops as were In charge of men on whom he could rely and so will begin again an active campaign for fleecing the public. , We do not know what measure of truth there may be In this* rumor, but we do know that If It has any founda tion and there Is auy way In which ths law could reach such a man aa he, steps should be taken to prevent hla further fleecing of the public. It would seem. In all conscience, that the career that “Al" Adams has led In the past and the term he haa served In the penitentiary, would put the public on notice against any enterprises in which he or hla lieutenants might engage. If this were not sufficient to open their eyes, then his more recent escapade In high finance, namely, this failure for $2,000,000. should be sufficient to put the pub lic on fair notice that they could not nfford to touch any enterprise with which h£$ name was Identified. It may be depended upon that If he begins operations again It will be but a rehearsal of the past, and that as soon as a luting opportunity presents Itself he will he ready to swoop down upon the unsuspecting flock of lambs and fleece them to their very skin. The full details of his proposed resumption of bust- neas have not yet been given out. It la hoped, for the aaka of that dais of people who Insist upon trading with him and with any concern with which his name may be Identified, that he will find such obstacles In, the way of hla resumption of business that he will not he able to perfect the arrangements he contemplates. The South has undoubtedly suffered Ita share from these various speculative affairs to which be lent mate rial aid and comfort, and In the light of the further fact that there cannot possibly be any hails for legitimate business transactions with concerns of the character with which he has been Identified, there should he no more attempt to play with the fickle goddess through the In strumentality which he has placed at the disposal of the people. The world at large Is entirely sick and tired of “Al" Adams and his speculation ventures, and It Is to be hoped he will be allowed at the present juncture to "sink to silence like a tavern brawl." Ke has cut a wide swath la Ms time. Let us hope that It Is permanently at an end. The Georgian extends a cordial welcome to Dr. H. E. Stockbridge, who has recently assumed the duties of agri cultural editor of The Southern Rurallat. of this city. Dr. Stockbridge comes well equipped for the duties of his position and The Rnrallst Is to be congratulate on Ita acquisition. If this spelling controversy keeps up, Dan Chauc.r U I table- to set before the people. Some Municipzl Ownership Examples. The entire community has become thoroughly aroused on the subject of municipal ownership of public utilities, and every bit of Information which can throw any light upon thla subject should be given to the people. We see no reason why corporations owned largely by foreign cap italists should mulct the people of Atlanta when by the operation of these utilities the city could save hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to her citizens and give them a better service In every respect. The question has already been discussed from a great many points of view. Surely none of them could be ujore enlightening than to give concrete examples and Illustra tions of the profit and efficiency derived from their oper ation lu other cltlea. • This question of municipal ownership Is not a new one. There are various cltlefc throughout the world which have found it practicable and profitable, and In Borne of these cities municipal ownership has extended not only to public utilities but to other lines of com merce which hitherto had remained In the hands of pri vate individuals. Mr. William E. Curtis, tho veteran correspondent of The Chicago Record-Herald, who Is now traveling in Eu rope, writes from Vienna of municipal ownership In that beautiful capital of Austria. That the Viennese are a happy and-a prosperous people does not need to be ar gued. Vienna Itself I* one of the most splendid cities In the world, and except In population compares favora bly with Paris Itself.' And yet the city government of Vienna not only op erates a street railway system but a brewery, a number of flower storesT a storage warehouse, stone quarries and other lines of commercial and Industrial activities which furnish commodities to the people more cheaply than they were ever bought under private ownership. No one Is contending for such a municipal ownership Idea for At lanta as prevails In Vienna, and yet the success of her street railway system will throw a direct light on the pub lic utilities In which we are really Interested. We are told that the city government owns all of the street car lines and that they are well managed and kept In excellent condition. In point of fact, the Vienna street car system Is one of the finest In the world. A 2-cent fare Is charged before 8 o'clock In the morning In order that the working classes who are In greatest need of cheap transportation enn get to their work at a nominal cost. The gross receipts of the com pany have greatly Increased since the city took hold of the tines, but It Is conceded that the expenses have In creased more rapidly, so that the net profits are only about one-third as large as they formerly were. The burgomaster of the city, who Is devoted to the cause of municipal ownership, takes pride In this very fact, and points out that the employees, of the street railway are the men who have largely received these benefits through higher wsgqs and shorter hours while at the same time Increasing the effectiveness of the ser vice and allowing the people In general to participate In the general benefits of cheaper fares and better facili ties. While, as we have said before, no one Is contending for the municipalization of anything except the recog nized public utilities at this time, It can do no harm to add In pasting that Vienna also owns a number of flow er shops end sells flowers from the parka and cemeteries at a handsome profit. Lovers-of the aesthetic do not need to be told that this constnnt pruning and gathering of the flowers with Intelligent discrimination not only must keep the parks and cemeteries themselves much more beautiful and abundant In tbelr floral.array, but that it provides a means of furnishing the people with flowers for various purposes at a nominal cost. Undertakers and caterer* are the largezt customer* and the city make* enough money to pay all the gardeners In the em ploy of the city and a portion of the other expenses for maintaining the parks. The net profits last year were about $17,000. Buildings which remained standing after the Inter national exposition of 1873 were not ruthlessly destroyed, as In Chicago and St. Ixrats. They were used for per manent purposes. The main building, which was of great size, was converted Into a storage warehouse which Is probably the -largest In the world. It Is operated by the city, Is divided Into sectlona for storing grain, wines and household effects, and ylclda to the city an average ne* revenue of $00,000 a year. A few miles from the city Ihete Is a stone quarry which Is owned and operated by the municipality. It was purchased more than 25 years ago, when the city was undertaking a great system of public Improvements, and millions of dollars worth of atone have been taken from It. While there Is comparatively little public construc tion going on at this time, the overplus of granite Is aold to private Individuals and corporations, and last yenr this municipal quarry yielded a net profit of $19,000. Thus wo see that the three municipally owned enter prises outside of the street railway yield to Vienna an annual net profit of practically $100,000 a year. The success of the street railway system under mu nicipal ownership and tho possibility of furnishing ex cellent facilities of travel, with good hours and good wages to employees, nominal faros for the laboring classes and a snug profit over operating expenses. Is the point which we wish to bring out. It Is full of enlighten ment to the people of Atlanta who are Interested In se curing the boat results from our public utilities. Growth atid Progress of the New South A Glorious Future. Prom time to time we have endeavored to furnish In this column facts and figures which show the Incomparable resources of the South, Joined with her salubrious climate and her ready access to the markets of the world. The latter will be even more notable when the Panama canal shall have been completed. But we could not possibly present all these facte more succlntly and more Impressively than In the graphic phrase which recently appeared In large letters on the cover of The Manufacturers' Record. They should be clipped out and pasted In the hat of every patriotic Southern man and read whenever the opportunity presents Itself. Here they are: “Give free rein to your Imagination and let It picture the future of a section which has one-half of the iron ore of the United States, nearly three times as much coal as GreatNBritaln, Germany and Pennsylvania com bined, which holds a world monopoly on cotton production and Is rapidly becoming a great cotton manufacturing center, which dominates the phos phate rock and sulphur trade of the world, which has much of the richest oil territory known, which has one-halt of the standing timber of the country, which produces all the sugar, all the rice, most of the tobacco, and adds to these 890,000,000 bushels a year of grain: and then think of Its water-powers, Its splendid rivers. Its great seacoast, Its expanding commerce, and remember that Its cotton crop alone annually exceeds the total gold and sliver production of the world, and that every dollar of gold annually mined on earth la not enough to pay the South's bill against Europe for cotton, and you will get Just a faint conception of the future. ‘ ItOMMMtllltl ! NOOKS AND CORNERS OF AMERICAN HISTORY I : : A FORGOTTEN MATCH /. ; By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY. • H9M$«M9Mltt< “Poor old Spain!" It Is what nearly all the world Is saying to Itself these days. How easily did the great republic utterly crush the Spaniard In the lute war over Cubal What a burlesque of a nation Spain Is today—a mere dot on the map, a reminiscence rather than a fact, shadow without any substance! And yet one hundred and twenty-five /ears, tho id of January, a Spanish orce Invaded our territory, marched, unmolested, right across one of our "sovereign slates," accomplished Its purpose and marched back again to its starting point with drums a-beatlng and banners a-fiylng! For some unaccountable reason France, after being beaten by England on the “Heights of Abraham,” and Just before the treaty was ratified giving England the fruits of her victory, se cretly ceded to Spain everything west of the Mississippi, as though she had said to herself, "The Briton has beaten me between the Mississippi and the Alleghanles, but he shall not have the domain west of the great river without a fight with Spain.” The capital of "Upper Louisiana" at the time was St. Louis, founded In 1704 by the French, and It was from this point that the march In question was made. Starting from Bt. Louis, on the 2d day of January, 1781, sixty-five Span iards and Frenchmen and sixty Indians, of the Sioux, Ottawa and Pottaivat- tomle tribes, commanded by Don Eu genio Pourre, marched straight across the state of flllnols to Fort St. Joseph, at the mouth of the St. Joseph river. In the present state of Michigan. At Fort St. Joseph the English gar rison of a few score men wax overpow ered, the Spanish flag was raised above the captured stronghold, and With the British flag as his trophy Don Eugenio Pourre, with his Spaniards, French men and Indians, marched back to 8t. Louts. This march across the state of Illi nois was no Utopian affair. It meant business. There was a method In It. As the sequel will show, it was Inspired at Madrid, and was a part of a deep- laid plot to accomplish one of two things—the recovery of Gibraltar from Knglaild or the establishment of a great Spanish domain upon the North Amer ican continent. — Immediately upon Won Eugenio Pourre's return to St. Louis, Don Fran cisco Cruvat, governor of Upper Lou isiana. started a messenger to Madrid with the news. It was a year before « the message was delivered and pub lished In.the Madrid Gazette. And then the fun began. John Jay, our representative at Madrid, saw through the buslnss at a glance, and wrote Franklin, at Paris, to keep hla eyea open. Franklin had not been sleeping. The news reached Franklin soon after It did Spain, and Franklin, with his great good sense, wax not slow In "catching on” to the true Inwardness of the game. In the meantime the treaty of Ver sailles was on the carpet, and In Its very first session It was revealed that France and Spain were In a conspiracy against us. Then appeared the true cause for the Spanish march across the state of Illinois and the planting of the Spanish flag on the stockade of Fort St. Joseph. The Spaniards had already established themselves at Baton Rougo and Natchez, and with Fort St. Joseph added to their triumph they were pre- g ared to lay claim to the vast territory etween tho Mississippi and the Alle ghanles! And then the first card was played with England. Spain would relinquish her claim to the aforesaid domain II England would give her back Gibral tar. But no! England would do no such thing. If she had to she would give up the colonies between the Alleghanlqp and the sea, but by the Red Cross of St. George she would not vacate her stronghold at the gateway of the great Blue sea. Spain had played her first card and lost. And then she began the game with the ambassadors of the United States. At Paris Spain had her astute am bassador, Count d'Arando, whose part It was to hold In the diplomatic battle her rights upon the eastern*slde of tho "Father of Waters." But Franklin was there, and Adams was there, and not an Inch w-ould they budge from the proposition that Uncle 8am's domain extended to the middle of the Mississippi. The Castilian coaxed and threaten ed. Every device known to the diplo matic art was tried by him, and tried In vain. Our self-taught ambassadors beat him at every turn, and-when the final terms were made with Great Brit ain Gibraltar rcmnlned In the hands of England and over every Inch of soli between the Alleghanles and the 'Eternal River” It was decreed that Old Glory" should float. And thus ended the aftermath of the Spanish march across the state of lilt mils. i A LITERARY FROG. By CLARA MORRIS.

We aro Informed that the finance committee of council will meet on Saturday for the purpose of consld orliiR the suggestion that $2,500, or some auch sum, be spent on the buildings at Piedmont park, In order that they may he in proper condition when the fair opens. We believe that council would be acting wisely |n making this appropriation, and wo trust that the finance committee win recommend It. The stnto fair of last year brought 40,000 people to Atlanta itnd during their stay, considering the matter purely from a business standpoint, they left a great deal of money In the city. Council has frequently made ap propriations for the entertainment of conventions, and It Is pointed out that the fair will bring more people here in two weeks than all the conventions within a decade. Moreover, the proiierty which council Is asked to Improve belongs to the city Itself and therefore hns a special claim on the attention of the city fathers. Everybody Is looking forward hopefully and buoy antly to the state fair, which promises to be the most successful In our history. It Is highly necessary that the buildings and grounds should be placed In good condi tion, and that at an early dale, so let the appropriation be made at once and let the work of repairing and beau tifying the buildings and grounds go forward.
