Starting With 75 Dontmnatara franchises constitute one of the most important of them." Nor is the Mail and Express alone in its opinion as to the great value of the public streets to tbe city. The Chicago Record, in editorially speaking of the New York matter says: "Chicago will do well to notice very carefully tbe steps new York is now tak ing looking to municipal ownership of its street railways. It is needless to say that tbe present owners of these valua ble franchises, like those in Chicago, are very much disturbed at the prospect that they will have to restore to tbe peo ple this valuable property after having bad tbe benefit of it for half a century." Chicago, however, is at present greatly handicapped in any desire it may pos sess to re-purchase the franchise of its street railways, as it has no authority under the law either to raise money to repurchase or to operate them after securing them. This difficulty was met by tbe introduction by Senator Ford in the Illinois legislature of a bill giving -Chicago authority to issue bonds to purchase tbe roads, and another bill was introduced conferring power to "ac quire, operate or lease" tbe roads, but their introduction came too late in the session to be considered fully. Tbe people are waking up. They are just beginning to realize that they have an inexhaustible source of great revenue in their city streets, a revenue which grows with tbe city's growth. In Chicago the sentiment has been rapid in favor of municipal ownership because of the introduction of tbe Hum phrey bills giving to the street railway magnates control of the streets for tbe next fifty years. We believe tbey failed of passage, but their consideration.even, was sufficient to alarm the citizens of the windy city. . Elsewhere the grasping greed of the corporations will help to crystalize sen timent in favor of municipal ownership, and the day is not far distant when the present so-called "vagaries" of the pops" will be no vagaries at all. but will be recognized as tbe efforts of a party to lessen the onerous exactions of corporations and trusts of all des criptions. . to pay you for your labor. lone lor did noj pursue tbe usual course in ney general can do is to lay the case" be vnier Washington, it has grown nearly power two years longer the result can Ue case of dismissals and prefer his charges fore the courts and abide tbe result. 75000 postmasters, and an annual ex- only be surmised The irreat nartvot in writing as he did in all other changes.

He spent three years in Germauy and grad uated with the highest honors from Leipsic, one of the most famous univer- sities in Germany, receiving a Th. D, de gree. He returned to Lincoln and pur sued original work in his !in. until 18H9 when he was given the opportuntiy to establish a Psychological department in the vbraka UuivHrsity.

Consolidotion and concentration is the distinguishing feature of the times. This is especially true in the banking business. For many years small banks have been nothing more than agents for larger con cerns. They have become so involved in debt that they are rapidly beine ab sorbed by the greater and stronger In stitutions. The only remedy for this is for the government to establish a gov ernment banking system. Auditor John F. Cornell has decide that under existing laws farmers mutual insurance companies may insure country churches, country parsonages, and coun try school bouses. The law provides that these companies may insure, "dt tached farm dwellings, barns. en livery and hotel bares, and other farm Duiioings." The auditor holds that. farmers churches, parsonages and school houses, come under the head of other farm buildings. The decision is a proper one. Decisions to the contrary have been in the interest of old line comimn. iea. Auditor Cornell has shown himseif to be a just and fearless officer, and friend of mutual iusurauce.
