Carter Harrison is running for re
election as Mayor of Chicago on a
platform which provides for munic
ipal ownership of traction, tele
phone, gas and electric light plants.
Were there not so many objections
to Mr. Harrison personally, the re
sult might be taken as an indication
of the sentiment of the second largest
city in the Union on this most im
portant question.
The electrical roads of the country

000, employ three hundred thousand
persons who are paid $250,000,000 a

over twenty thousand miles of track.
Ten miles of electrical track are
building to one of steam.
Rev. S. B. Bidlack who is attend
ing the M. E. conference, writes :
"Our conference convenes away out
here in the great Allegheny Moun
tain metropolis—Altoona. The Bth
Ave. Methodists have erected a large
church cathedral costing $66,000
which has been equipped for our
daily sessions of this years confer
ence. There are in my course of
theological studies thirty young
men now present taking examina
tions. We hope to finish them to
morrow. Our conference will last a
few weeks.
Our continuance in adding facili
ties to the News Item equipment
rankles most deeply in the breast of
the Review man. Newell is alarm
ed at our "abnormal growth of facil
ities" and advises them cut off for the
good of our health. The upshot of
the whole matter is that our compet
itors are beginning to realize the
fact that the News Item office is the
most complete and modernly equip
ped in the county and our superior
work and low prices prove the be
neficent results of our investments,
and the Review's continuance in
advertising these facts but recalls
the proverb of the bird that makes
its own nest disreputable. As the
Review phrazes It, our brain is a
"negative quantity." Very likely.
That is a substance not required in
the newspaper business, which ac
counts for Newell following the
occupation. Many columns of the
Review, however, have been wasted
in a vain effort to establish a belief
among Newell's reader that he is a
very eligible quantity in a class
which is hard up for eligible quan
tities. His mental excellences would
be more quickly recognized by the
infrequency of his public utterances
in relation to other people's affairs
and his own expanded virtues.
It seems to be pretty well settled
that the new railroad from William
sport to Binghamton will be via
New Albany and not through Du
shore. It it said that Dushore is to
be left by the way side on account of
the high price for the right of way
throung that town. We believe that
to build by the New Albany way
will be a mistake for the company
and for Dushore. If the owners of
property want more for the right of
way than the railroad feels that it
can pay, we suggest it would be ad
visable for town itself to raise
the money. As the price of real es
tate will be enhanced the property
owners no doubt will be reasonable
in their demands. Dushore is the
chief business town of our county.
A very large freight business would
be done there, and it is clearly the
interest of the railroad company to
reach that point. On the other hand
the new road would give the Du
shore merchants a competing line
and greatly increase their facilities.
Taxing coal is only another way
of making poor people poorer. It
would be better to reduce the num- j
ber of office holders and the salaries
of those now in office. This rage for '
taxation and thirst for a new lot of
officials is a bad sign and no credit
to the State or nation.
