More Evidence of Corporate Negligence, It would not be difficult to convince the peopje who patronise the Marietta branch of the Georgia Railway and Blectrlc Company that there li a grave necessity for the regulation of the street railway company. They have suffered In a great many forma from a lack of those facilities to which they are reasonably en titled. The fare Itself would appear to be quite out of proportion to that which la charged on the other sq)>ur- ban lines of tbe company, and what la of at least equal moment la the tact that while the people of Marietta have freely granted to the corporation the right to use tbe •treeta of their city, tbe company has not seen fit to provide any depot facilities whntever. At this end ot the line the same condition prevails, and while the Marietta cars stop directly in front of the Oeorgta Railway and Electric Company's magnificent of fices In which It would be easy, one would think, to es tablish some kind of a waiting room, the fact Is that no provision whatever Is made to shelter watting patrons from the sun and the wind and the rain. All this Is but part and parcel of the arbitrary and selfish manner In which this autocratic monopoly admin isters its affairs without regard to the conSkrt and pleas ure of Its patrons. t This new line la becoming one of the moat popular and prosperous In tbe entire system. It la only fair that all the auxiliary facilities which such a line requires should be aupplled for tho patrons of the road. But fre quent remonstrances seem to have mot‘with no substan tial response, and those who live In Marietta nnd Atlanta and along the connecting lines have too Jong suffered from the greed and the selfishness of the Georgia Rail way and Electric Company. Perhaps this company thinks that It can go on In definitely Ignoring the just demands ot the people, but we verily believe that a public sentlniont Is being aroused fn this community which would make It thd part of wis dom for the company to make some concessions to the people before they fatigue Indignation and drive the peo ple to niako the Georgia Railway and Electric Company, with all Its allied utilities, one of the paramount and Sleepless Issues of the hour. “AI” Adams Again. Information comes from Now York that "Al" Adams, tho notorious policy king and backer ot M. J. Sage * CO., after having failed • few weeks since for some thing like 12,000,000, is now making arrangements to Open up his chain ot bucket shops again. Of course It Is no part of hit purpose to return to the defrauded and confiding customers the 12,000,000 which they trusted to him. Rut a life of commonplace tranquillity Is unendurable to this high financier and hla able lieutenants, so be Is making arrangements, accord Ing to this rumor, to resurrect such of his old bucket ehopa as were In chnrge of men on whom ho could rely and ao will begin again an active campaign for fleecing the public. Wo do not know what measure of truth there may be In this rumor, but wo do know that If It has any founda tion and there Is any way In which the law could reach auch a man as he, steps should be taken to prevent bin further fleecing of the public. It amnld seem. In all conscience, that the career that "Al" Adams has led In the past and the term he has served In the iienltemlary. would put the public on notice against any enterprises In which he or Ills lieutenants might engage. ^ If this were not sufficient to opon their eyos, then his more recent escapade In high flnnnce, namely, this failure for $2,000,000, should he sufficient to put the pub lic on fair notice that they could not afford to touch any enterprise with which his name was Identified. It may bo dependod upon that If lie begins operations again It will be but a rehearsal of the past, and that as soon as a fitting opportunity presents Itself he will be ready t<> swoop down upon the unsuspecting flock of lalnbs and fiecce them to their very skin. The full details of his proposed resumption of busi ness have not yet heen given out. It Is hoped, for tho sake of that class of people who Insist upon trading with him and with any concern with which hi* nnme may bo Identified, that he will find such obstacles tn the way of hla resumption of business that he will not be able to perfect the arrangements he contemplates. The South has undoubtedly suffered Its share from these various speculative affairs to which he lent mate rial aid and comfort, and In the light of the further fact that there cannot possibly be ahy basis for legitimate business transactions with concerns of the character with which he has been Identified, there should be no more attempt to' play with the fickle goddess through the in strumentality which he has placed nt the disposal of the people. i The world at large Is entirely sick and tired of "Al" Adams and his speculation ventures, and It la to be hoped he will be allowed at the present Juncture to "sink to silence like a tavern brawl." He has cut a wide swath tn his time. Let us hope that It la permanently at an end. The Georgian extends a cordial welcome to Dr. H. E. Stockbrtdge. who haa recently assumed the duties of agri cultural editor of The Southern Ruralltt, of this city. Dr. Stockbrtdge comes well equipped for the duties of his position and The Rurallst ts to be congratulated on Its acquisition. If this spelling controversy keeps np, Dan Chaucer Is liable to get before the people. Some Municipc! Ownership Examples. The entire community has become thoroughly aroused on the subject of municipal ownership of public utilities, and every bit ot Information which can throw any light upon this 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 tbe city could save hundreds of thouianda of dollars a year to her citizens and give them a better service In every respect. The question ha* already been discussed from a great many points of view. Surely none of them could be more enlightening than to give concrete examples and Illustra tions of the profit and efficiency derived from their oper ation In other cities. 1 This, question of municipal ownership Is not a new one. There are various cities throughout the world which have found It practicable and profitable, and in some of tbesc cities municipal ownership baa 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, the 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 tbe Viennese are a happy and a prosperous people does not need to be ar gued. Vienna itself ts 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 crates a street railway system but a brewery, a number of flower stores, a storage warehouse, stone quarries and other lines ot commercial and Industrial activities which furnish commodities to the people more cheaply than they were ever bought under private ownership. No one ts contending for each a municipal ownership liTea for At- Innta as prevails In Vlennn, 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 welt managed and kept In excellent condition. In point of fact, tho Vienna, street car system Is one of the finest In the world. A 2-cent fare ts charged before 8 o'clock In the morning tn order that the working classes who are In greatest need of cheap transportation can 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 linos, 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 la 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 wgges and shorter hours while at the same time Increasing the effectiveness of the ser vice and allowing the people In general to participate In tbe general benefits of cheaper fares and better facili ties. While, as wo have said before, no one Is contending for the municipalization of anything except the recog nized public utilities nt this time, It can do no harm to add In passing that Vienna also owns a number of flow or shops nnd soils flowers from the parks and cemeteries at a handsome profit. Lovers of tho aesthetic do not need to be told that this constant pruning and gathering of the flowers with Intelligent discrimination not only must keep the parks and cemeteries themselves muck moro beautiful nnd abundant In their floral array, but that It provides a means of furnishing the people with flowers for various purposes at a nominal coat. Undertakers nnd caterers are the largest customers and the city makes enough money to pay all the gardeners In tbe em ploy of the city and a portion ot the othor 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, ss In Chicago and St. Louis. 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. H ts opernted by the city, la divided Into sections fpr storing grain, wines and household effects, and yields to the city an average no' revenue of $00,000 a yenr. A few miles froth the city thete Is n siono quarry which Is owned and opernted by the municipality. It was purchased more than 25 yenrs ago, when tho city was undertaking a great system of public Improvements, nnd millions of dollars worth ot stone have been taken from It. While there Is comparatively little public construc tion going on at this time, the overplus ot granite Is sold to privats Individuals and corporations, and last year this municipal quarry yielded a net profit of $19,000. Thua we see that the three municipally. owned enter prises outside ot the street rallwny yield to Vienna an annual net profit of practically $100,000 n year. Tho success of tbe street railway system under mu nicipal ownership nnd tho possibility of furnishing ex cellent facilities of travel, with good hours nnd good wages to employees, nominal fares tor the laboring classes nnd a snug profit over operating expenses, la the point which we wish to bring out. It Is full ot enlighten ment to tho people of Atlanta who are Interested In se curing the best results from onr public utilities. Growth and Progress of the New South uontr mis bmh will appear from time to time Information illustrating me remarkable development of the South which deserves something more than pass ing attention^ A Glorious Future. From time to time we have endeavored to furnish tn this column facts and figures which show the Incomparable reeources of the South, Joined with her salubrious climate and her ready access to the markets nt the world. The latter will be even more notable when the Panama canal shall have been completed. But n-e could not poeslbly present all these facts 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 hag one-half of the Iron ore- of the United States, nearly three times as much coal as Great Britain, Germany and Pennsylvania com bined, which holds a world monopoly on cotton production and la 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-half of the standing timber of the country, which produces all the sugar, all the rice, most of the tobacco, and adds to these 800,000,000 bushels a year of grain: and then think of- Its water-powers. Its splendid rivers, Its great aeaeoast, Its expanding commerce, and remember that Its cotton crop alone annually exceeds the total gold and silver production of the world, and that every dollar of gold annually mined on earth Is not enough to pay the South's bill against Europe for cotton, and you will get Just a faint conception of the future." i KOOKS AND CORNERS OF AMERICAN HISTORY A FORGOTTEN MATCH By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY. “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 late war over Cuba! What a burlesque of a nation Spain Is today—a mere dot on the map, reminiscence rather than a fact, shadow without any substance! And yet one hundred and twenty-five years, tho 2d of January, a Spanish force Invaded our territory, marched, unmolested, right across one of our “sovereign states," accomplished Its purpose and marched back again to Its starting point with . drums a-beatlng and banners a-flylng! 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 tn herself, "The Briton has beaten me between the Mississippi and the Adleghanles, but he shall not have the domain west of the great rlrer without a fight with Spain." The capital of "Upper Louisiana" at the time was St. Louis, founded In 1764 by the French, and It was from this point that the march In question was made. Starting from St. Louis, on the 2d day of January, 1781, sixty-five Span iards and Frenchmen and sixty Indians, of the Sioux, Ottawa and Pottawat- tomle tribes, commanded by Don Eu genio Pourre, marched straight across the state of Illinois to Fort St. Joseph, at the mouth of the 81. Joseph river, In the present state of Michigan. At Fort St. Joseph the English gar rison of a few score men was overpow ered, the Spanish flag was raised above the captured stronghold, and with the British flag ns hit trophy Don Eugenio Pourre. with his Spaniards, French men and Indians, marched back to St. Louis. This march across the state of Illi nois was no Utopian affair. It meant business. There was a method tn It. Aa tbe 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 England or the establishment of a great Spanish domain upon the North Amer ican continent. Immediately upon Don Eugenio Pourre's return to St. Louts, Don Fran- elseo 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 Gaxette. And then the fun began. John Jay, our representative at Madrid, saw through the businss at a glance, and wrote Franklin, at Paris, to keep his eyes open. Franklin had not been sleeping. The news reached Franklin soon after It did Spain, and Franklin, with his great good sense, was not slow 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 nt Illinois and the planting of the Spanish flag on the stockade of Fort St. Joseph., The Spaniards had already established themselves at Baton Rouge and Natchez, and with Fort St. Joseph ndded to their triumph they were pre pared to lay claim to the vast territory between the Mississippi and the Alle- ghanles! And then the first card was played with England. Spain would relinquish her claim to the aforesaid domain If England would give her back Gibral tar. But no! England would do no such thing. If she had to she woutd give up the colonies between the Alleghanlqs and the sea, but by the Red Cross ol 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 wltb the ambassadors of the United States. At Paris Spain had her astute am bassador, Count d’Aranda, whose part It was to hold In tho diplomatic battle her rights upon the eastern side of the "Father of Waters." But Franklin was there, and Adams walk there, and not an Inch would they budge from the proposition that Unrle Sam's domain extended to the middle of the Mississippi. The Castilian coaxed and threaten- I. 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 remained In the hands ot England nnd over every Inch of soil between the Allegiianles 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 Illi nois. LAND OF WILLIAM THE SILENT THE HAGUE, HOLLAND A LITERARY FROG. By CLARA MORRIS.

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 property which council is asked to Improve belongs to the dtv Itself and therefore has 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.
