OUR STREET RAILWAYS. •

has come to be di'MUCh essential feature
in the municipal policy of large cities like
ours, as the pavements and sidewalks which
facilitate the oidinary , travel. The more
complete that system may be—the more
wisely 'comprehensive in its Plans, harmo
nious in its several details, and the more
faithfully its facilities may be developed and
its obligations to the public executed—the

tion of a sound Municipal policy, as well to

the current demands' of a rapidly expanding

railways have become, we repeat, as much a
municipal necessity; in cities like ours, as are
pavements, public lights, the 'whets, the
police, -or, weleight.alinost ssy, the streets
themselies. By their !ad, the extension of
the municipal area,; the overflow of a too
douse popubitha upon the adjacent suburbs,
becques as elemsni of incresse_d municipal
strength and wealth, instead'of u injurious
depletion of the
.city's material. reimnrces..
Capital - and-labor are alike supplied thereby
with the coudithotherwise uuttauthbls,
which'` matte 'their`effective' COucettrition
upon the industries constituting tho solid
base of munieipalprosperity, aid with those
other conditions which are no less essential
to the retention of capital and labor in our
midst. trade and manufactures of the
compact town employ that capital and labor
to ihe
.beat advantage, while a cheap,
epeedy and popnlai systeni of communica:

proposs to allude to another view of the
*subject which has ;been much neglected in
the popular consideration. This street-rail
way-system has been much discussed, but
mainly in relation to• its bearings upon lo
cal questions, and isolated interests. As a
system, taken as one wholeoximrashend

gen,* view of tne public interests; and con-

lion bah of the public needsand the public
obligations, theiojcalled "systems" of street
railways have been little better than no sys
tems at all in most of our large cities. Road
after road has been authorized and con-
strueted, from one year to,nnother, as local
i.aterests hale seemed to demand, "but each
project has managed to retain its:own pecu-
liarities of franchise, and to perPetnate the
special policy of its owners, too often re
gardless of the public eonvenience and in•
terests. Hence, naturally. the public have
attributed to these companies a policy which
ptusues their own, special corporate advan
tage, at the expe nse of municipal rights and
of the common interest.
1
It semis plain to us that the solid inter
ests of these corporations and of the public
are identified .in a great many particulars.
For example, it is for their interest alike,
that the railways should be made profitable
to their owners, for therein the , public have
the best guarantee for their own service con
veniently and efficiently. The" public
should concede every franchise which is
4re
quisite to th investment .of capital for the
public acco odation; the companies should
meet with no restrictions calculated to impair
their prospect for, an adequate return upon
the capital invested; they should be exposed
to no competition which would result in the
public being badly served by two ill-paid
corporations, instead of being amply accom
modated by one iwhich finds its account in
doing all it has , agreed to do. Contracts
made by the authorities' with these corpora
tions should be faithfully executed, on both
sides, in their spirit as well as letter. The
public have as much to gain, by a street
railway judiciously and faithfully 'adminis
tered, as has the corporation itself. The
interests of both '72 exactly together in that
regard. Each party to these contracts very
speedily discovers that it cannot, dispense
with the other. T i accommodation becomes
as essential to the community as are the
franchises which the latter has granted to
to the corporations receiving them. Each
' should deal fairly with the other, and is
sure to find its j account in a mutually just
and liberal policy.. There is no need for
that chronic state of public and private dis
satisfaction and animosity, which too often
marks the experience of community with
these roads. The companies can, in the
long run, gain nothing by a policy which
persistently ignores as well the soundest
principles, of all bUsiness as the spirit
of contract-obligations; in the dealings
with the public, l its customers, and commu
nity, on the other hand, assails its own in
terest daily and hourly in any unjust raid
upon those whose profits are only earned by
serving them to their satisfaction.
These railways are often quite profita
ble, to their owners. Quite as often, the
extent of their profits is largely over-esti
mated by.thefiublic. And the cases are
not rare tyliere there have been no - profits
at all. Thi3 best paying -roads are with hard
ly an exception those which are efficiently
managed,, and which afford to the 'public
the largest degree of accommodation.
Usually, we find these roads to be - also the
most approved i n the popular estimation.
The roads .which the public detest, and
hourly complains of, which furnish indiffer
ent cars,"unciiil attendants, irregular and
insufficient service, and , which enjoy the
unmixed ill-wlll of their customers, are
almost invariably found to pay their stock
holders poorly and to have some radical
fault of mis-management at' the bottom.
The true policy for a community is Ist.
To give these corporations a fair chance, a
show to get suitable returns on their money
invested, protection against unfair competi
tion, and to parantee to them the public
faith in the inviolability of its contracts;

We are happy to know that our cities are
In the main so well aired by the existing
corporations. 'Those crossing the St. Clair
bridge are models for any city. The Birm
ingham and Lawrenceville lines seem to be
administered with a due - regard for the con.
venience and interest of all parties con
cerned. • The Pleasant . Valley line promises
to meet the public expectations, and we
trust it may share with the others named,
in an honirably earned remuneration. The
Minersyille aid Oakland lines are the un
fortunate eiceptions. As they are, whose
ever fault it may be, they neither deserve
nor enjoy the public approbation. We ean
not speak well either of their cars, or other
equipment, their lime-schedules, or of the
personnel employed. The public dissatisfac
den with these lines is profoind and appar
ently well-merited. They have valuable
franchises and do not give value for them,
in the public estimation. There is apparent
no good reason why, if , judiciously and
vigorously managed, well equipped and
disciplined, and once freed from existing
elements destructive to the personal inter
ests of the eiriployees themselves, these
lines, connecting the city with some of its
most populiius and wealthy suburbs, should
not be made satisfactory to the public and
profitable fortheir owners. If our author
ities can legally apply any effective remedy
for the current complaints, it should be done
promptly. If otherwise, we are left then to
rely upon the general laws of business,
which will ultimately replace an incompe
tent oontrol with better men.
Our street railway Companies are bound
to certain engagements touching the clean.:
ing and repair of• the streets traversed by
them. These obligations are just, and are
for the most part faithfully complied with.
They are subjected to other provisions more
or leuronerous, one of which, that of tax
ation is peculiarly burdensome. The lines
to Allegheny and its suburbs, and perhaps
others, are actually paying in taxation, for
all purposes, the enormous rate of 24 per
cent upon their gross receipts. This is
simply an ounage, not only on the corpora
tion, but upon its customers. We. Write in
the popular interest„ sand demand, the
cheapest fares. Yet, how can we ask , any
abatement of that sort when, for every six
pence received, the company gets only four
and a half cents, the rest going into the
public coffers? That is too high a tax to be
paid by the public, including in large part
as it does the classes which a wise taxation
always alms to spare. As tar as it goes, it
is quiti as objectionable as would be a tax
upon any other article of prime ne
cessity to the 'poor. As ,well tax
the bread earned, as the road to the
workshop. Either tax would be equally
indefensible. We hope to see that rate re
duced into equitable limits, so that' these
companies can establish five cent fares, with
equal profit to themselves and vastly incresa
ed benefit to the public. This tan presents a
marked illustration of the mistaken policy
which forgets that the highest public interests
in this regarNie best promoted bye just and
liberal policy towards these roads, as being
to-day, in fact, the most effective and service
able of agents in promoting our municipal
prosperity.
The suggestions herein submitted seem
to us worthy of general consideration. Let
our readers reflect upon them,. as we have,
without being frightened by the bug-a-boo
which might charge them with undue par
tiality to these corporations, and, without
sharing in the vulgar and unfounded prejuL
dice which denounces the corporate interests
as altogether antagonistic, to those of the
public.:

UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE.
W.T.,PoximOT ,has introduced in the Ben
ate,a proposition to amend the Constitution
as follOws:
• Annorx 16. The basis of suffrage in the
United &eta shall be that of citizenship;
and'all native or' naturalized citizens shall
enjoy the same rights and privileges of•the
elective franchise; but each State shall de
termine by law the age of a citizen and the
time of. residence required for the exercise
of the right of suffrage, which shall apply
equally to all citizens; and ab3o shall make
all laws concerning the times, places, and
manner, of holding elections.
In the House, Judge Kzuti(Pa.) intro
duced the following:
'ARTICLE 15.—N0 State shall dinS" , to or
exclude from the exercise of any of the
rights and privileges of an elector, any
citizen of the United States by reason of
race or color.
Both of these propositions were properly
referred to committees. In due time, ths
subject will be discussed boldly• and exhkus
tively. There is less doubt as to tii4S-senti
ment of members, than as to the feasibility
of securing the adoption of any amendment
embracing the broad principle, by the re
quisite number of Legislatures.
Mr. Sumrras has introduced in the Senate
a Political Rights bill, also defining the
qualifications .of electors under Federal
laws, and in some form, thek measure has
already secured much favor amok members.

MESSES.,Eurroas GszErtz.: Literary So.
cieties, when properly conducted, have
always been considered good institutions.
The people of Pintle Hill and vicinity st
rived at the conclu.sion - some time ago that .
a Literary Society on „that classic mount
would be an excellent institution, and ac
cordingly .they laid their heads together
and planned and resolved that there should
be a Literaty Society at No. 8, which is the
Pintle Hill school house; and it shoal:rut
be spoor affair, either—it should be the
right kind of a Literary, ,Society, and the
machine should be run with energy and
determination. A society , was in operation
about a mile distant, at the Shirland school .
house, last winter, but it didn't thrive; and
so the Hillites with the consent of the
Shirlanders, decided.to try the Pintle Hill ,
school house for one winter. The success
that has attended the present society shows
that the changing of ;he place of meeting .
was a good move. At the last meeting,
the exercises were very entertaining. They
consisted of deal:it:Alone, essays, select
reading; and a debate and oolloquy.' The t •
speeches and essays of the little folks were
good, and showed. that the Pintle Hill
teacher had her scholars under_pod train- •
ins. Essays were • readby Misses Sallie

less and Master Milo J. Dickson:. The last
named person performed the pot of "Dick'' ,
admirably.
A very useful class of performance in the
"Fayette" is the class of .extemporaneons
ape - airing. This class was represented on
this occasion by Dr. T. P. Grahtun and T.
W. Conway. The question, "Is there such
a thing as disinterested benevolence?" was
ably argued on the affirmAtive, by Dr. T.
P. Graham, and on the negative by Wm.
C. McFarland. At times, the debaters ,
waxed very eloquent, and it would have
been a difficult matter to decide which was
entitled to the decision.
