Tribune Bldg., Chicago. More Evidence of Corporate Negligence. It would not be difficult to convince the people who patronize the Marietta branch ot the Georgia Railway and Electric Company that there la a grave neeeaalty for the regulation ot the itreet 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 subur ban lines of the company, and what la of at least equal moment Is the fact that while the people of Marietta have freely granted to the corporation the right to use the streets of their city, the company has not seen fit to provide any depot facilities whatever. At this end of the line the same condition prevails, and while the Marietta cars stop directly In front of the Georgia 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 waiting patrons from the sun and the wind and the rain. All thla's but part and parcel of the arbitrary and selfish 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 ono 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 tlal response, 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. Perhaps this company thinks that 1^ can go on In definitely Ignoring the just demands of the people, but we verily believe that t public sentiment Is being aroused In this community which would make It the part of wis dom for the company to make some concesllons to the people before they fatigue Indignation and drive the peo ple to make the Oeorgla Railway and Electric Company, with all Its allied utilities, one of the paramount and sleepless Issues of the hour. “Al” Adams Again. Information comes from New York that “Al" Adams, the notorious policy king and backer of M. J. Sago & Co., after having failed a few weeks since for some thing like $2,000,000, Is now making arrangements to open up his chain of bucket shops again. Of course It Is no part of his purpose to return to the defrauded and confiding customers the 12,000,000 which they trusted to him. But a life of commonplace .tranquillity la unendurable to this high financier and his able lieutenants, so ho Is making arrangements, accord ing 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. Wo do not know what measuro of truth there may be In this rumor, but we do know that If It has any founda tion and there Is any way In which the law could reach such a man as he. steps should be taken to prevent his 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 has served In the penitentiary, would put the public on notice against any enterprises In which he or bis lieutenants might engage. If this were not sufficient to open their eyes, then his more recent escapade In high finance, namely, this failure for 12,000,000, should be 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 be depended upon that If he 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 to swoop down upon the unsuspecting flock ot Inmbs and fleece them to their very skin. The full details of his proposed resumption of busi ness have not yet been given out. It Is hoped, for the sake of that class of peoplo who Insist upon trading with him and with any concern with which his name may bo Identified, that he will find such obstacles In the way of his 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 any basis for legitimate business transactions with concerns of the ebaraeter with which be has been Identified, there should be 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.” He has cut a wide swath In his time. . Let us hope that It Is permanently at an end. Some Municipel Ownership Examples. The entire community has become thoroughly aroused on the subject ot municipal ownership of public utilities, and every bit of 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 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. Surqly 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. 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 these cities municipal ownership has extended not only to public utilities but to other lines of com merce which hitherto hfd remained In the bands of pri vate Individuals. Mr. William E. Curtis, the veteran correspondent of The Chicago Record-Herald, who la bow traveling In Eu rope. writes from Vienna of municipal ownership In that beautiful capital ot Austria. That the Viennese are a happy and a prosperous people does not need to be ar gued. Vienna Itself Is 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 stores, 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 can get to their work at a nominal cost. The gross receipts ot the com pany have greatly Increased since the city took hold of the lines, 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 ot the streot railway are the men who heve largely received these benefits through higher wages 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 passing that Vienna also owns a number of flow er shops and sells flowers from the parks and cemeteries at a handsome profit. Lovers of the aesthetic do not need to be told that this constant pruning and gathering of the flowers with Intelligent discrimination not only mast keep the parks and cemeteries themselves much more beautiful add abundant In their floral array, but that It provides a means of furnishing the people with flowers for various purposes at .a nominal cost. Undertakers and caterers are the largest customers and the city makes enough monoy to pay all the gardeners In the em ploy of the city and a portion ot the other expenses for maintaining the parks. The net proflta last year were about $17,000. Buildings which remained standing after the Inter national exposition of 1873 were not ruthlessly destroyed, aa In Chicago and St. Louis. They were used for per manent purposes. The main building, which was ot great site, was converted Into a storage warehouse which Is probably the largest In the world. It Is operated by the city, Is divided Into soctlons tor storing grain, wines and household effects, and yields to the cljy tn average no' Growth and Progress of the New South A Glorious Future. From time to time we have endeavored to furnish in 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 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 facts more eucclntly and more Impressively than In the graphic phrase which recently appeared In large lettere 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 Great Britain, 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-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 Us water-powera, Its splendid rivers. Its great seacoast, Its expanding commerce, and remember that Its cotton crop alone annually exceedi 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.” NOOKS AND CORNERS OF AMERICAN HISTORY A FORGOTTEN MATCH By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY. IHHHNItMMHIMIHt “Poor old Spain!” It Is what nearly all the world Is saying to Itself these days. How easily did the great republic utterly crueh the Spaniard In the fate war over Cuba! 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 years, the 2d of January, a Spanish I'orce Invaded our territory, marched, unmolested, right across one of our "sovereign states,” accomplished Its purpose and marched back again to Ha starting point with drums a-beattng 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 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 light with Spain." The capital of "Upper Louisiana" at the time was St. Louis, founded In 17*1 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, slxty-flve Span- uoj ui niiuiwJi tioi| biaij-iim. ojmii- lards 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 St. 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 1 Spanish tldg wait raised above the raptured stronghold, and with the revenuo of $60,000 a year. A few miles from tho city thete Is a stone quarry which Is owned end operated by the municipality. It was purchased more thnn 25 years ago, when the city was undertaking a groat system of public Improvements, and millions of dollars worth of stone have been taken from It. While there Is comparatively little public construc tion going on at this time, the overplus of granite Is sold to private Individuals and corporations, and last year this municipal quarry yielded a net profit ot $19,000. Thus we aee that the three municipally owned enter- prlscs 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 fares for the laboring classes and a snug profit over operating expensea. Is the point which we wish to bring out It Is full of enlighten ment to the people of Atlanta who are Interested tn se curing the best results from our public utilities. Pourro, 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 In It Aa 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 England or the establishment ot a great Spanish domain upon the North Amer ican continent. Immediately upon Don 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 wae 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 buslnas at a glance, and wrote Franklin, at Paris, to keep hla eyes open. Franklin had not been sleeping. The news reached Franklin ! soon after It did Spain, and Franklin, with his great good sense, wae 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 Rouge and Natchez, and with Fort St. Joseph added to their triumph they were pre pared to lay claim to the vast territory between the Mississippi and the Alle- ghanics! 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. It she had to she would give up the colonies between the Alleghanlqs and the Bea, 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 ot the United States. At Paris Spain had her astute am bassador, Count d'Aranda, whose part It was to hold In the diplomatic battle her rights upon the eastern side of the "Father of Waters." But Franklin was there, and Adams was there, and not an Inch would they budge from the proposition that Uncle Sam'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 remained In the hands of England and over every Inch of soil 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 Illi nois. A LITERARY FROG.

We believe that council would be acting wisely In making this appropriation, and we trust that the finance committee will rocommend It. The state fair of last year brought 40,000 people to Atlanta and during tbelr stay, considering the matter purely from a business standpoint, they left a great deal of money In the city. Council has frequently made ap- propriatlona for the entertainment of conrentlona, 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 la aaked to Improve belongs to the city Itself and therefore hat 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 date, ao lot the appropriation be made at once and let the work of repairing and beau tifying the building* and grounds go forward.
