PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.
MUNICIPAL MANAGEMENT PHOr-
TABLE IN GLASGOW.
Facte and Flsmrea Which Show that
the Ciy ctfliccra Are Not Public
Plunderer-Why tuba la Not Rec
ognizedThe Coming Revolution.
A Few Comparisons.
From answers to a list of queries pro
pounded bf Thos. l'rovau, of Worces
ter, Mass., the Chicago Express has
gathered a very complete report of the
municipalization of public works Lu
Glasgow, Scotland. Among the Inter
esting features we notice that the or
dinary family paying rent to the
amount of $'0 a year, pays 12 cents if
year for water. In Chicago the water
tax on an ordinary ix-rooin house
amounts to alnjut $i a year.
I In Glasgow gas Is supplied by the
city at 2 shillings 2 pence per thou-
: sand feet; about 7A) cent.s per thousand.
, Chlcagoans pay a thieving corporation
f 1.10 per thousand and at the low prices
. In Glusgow the city makes a prtdlt of
considerably over half a million dollars
annually. What must the Chicago
company be making?
I The passenger who rides a mile on a
street car In Glasgow pays 1 cent (half
a pence), while in almost any city in
; America the fare is 5 cents; even in
. Indianapolis, where the law has named
3 cents a the legal rate, jt is disre-
! garded by the street railway companies
FORMULATING
and the Supreme Court Is turning down
precedents, laws and even ordinary de
cency, to help out the corporation In its
robberies.
The electric 11'ht plant of Glasgow
pays a net profit to the city of more
than $iWj,(HH( a year, hi the matter of
wages it is found that most of the con
ductors In Glasgow receive 4 .shillings
0 pence per day. which equals $1.08 lu
American money.
With house rent at ?" a month for as
good a house as the Chicago man can
rent for $-0 and the dilTcrence in water,
gas and other expenses he is Immense
ly better off than the man In Chicago
who gets $l.oO a (lay; and there are
n.ore men in Chicago to-day who aver
age less than $1 a day than there are
who get that much.
.Municipal ownership under the rule
of such political skates as get into otlice
in Chicago, might not be Itetter than the
robberies of corporations, but with
such management as should be given,
it would mean an era of prosierity for
the people, immense relief from taxa
tion and the end of a robber system
that is bleeding every Industry.
Glasgow, linding Itself with vacant
ground on hand, has covered portions
of it with tenements of houses, partly
for housing the lu tailing classes, and
partly for the artisan class. Its Invest
ment In this regard is not very exten
sive. One object has been to erect
buildings on the most approved sani
tary principles, which might serve as
models for private builders. The In
vestment in tlds line Is not very prollt
able. The inunlcipiilliy has also erect
ed seven lodging houses with nccommo.
datlons for -',.'00 Initiates six for sin
git! men and one for single women,
These are conducted under strict sur
veillance, and Although the charge per
head Is only U'iid. per night, a biibi-.iau-tlnl
profit is earned. Private parties,
discovering this, have entered Into
lodging-house enterprises on the same
Hues as the city.
Party politics are unknown In tho
Glasgow town council. The council de
votes itself exclusively to municipal or.
gaiilzntlon and administration. Mem
bers of the body linve a three years'
tenure of ofltee, but are of course eligi
ble for re-election. No mem!er of the
tasly, which numbers seventy-seven,
has any remuneration whatever. The
seventy-seven members elect n lord
provist. fourteen city mn.gLst.ratcis, two
bullies of the port and river, a city
treasurer and a master of works. In
tnklisK these offices of dignity, they also
retain all the" functions and duties a p.
pertaining to twn councillors.
On April 5, IWtl, when a numler of
adjoinlug towns was annexed, Glasgow
tad an acreage of 15,;.r.i, a rental of
4.54,W3, and a population of 770,
471. Since that time, however, there
has be-en a marked increase In popu
lation, bo that now the city haa well
nigh 1.O00.MW people.
Education In Glasgow, as over Scot
land generally, U free within the ele
mentary stages, but secondary or high
er teaching has to be paid for at mod
erate rates. Glasgow high school,
which is under the school board, Is
the chief secondary school.
The Comintz Hevo'ntlon.
It is very seldom, indeed, that the
comments of English newspapers up
on political affairs of the United States
are informing or even intelligent, and
of all the journalistic blunderers, the
Saturday Review has teen In the past
the most persistent and consistent, be
cause the most bigoted and prejudiced.
Yet a recent Isnue of the Saturday Re
view contains an article on Mr. Bry
an's book, "The First Battle," which is
suggestive, because it Is the opinion of
a well Informed and disinterested ob
server. The title of the Saturday Review's
article Is "The Coming American Rev
olution." Speaking of the last Presi
dential campaign, which Mr. Bryan
commemorates in his l)ok, It says:
"It was an event of profound histori
cal significance from every point of view
political, social, ethical, internation
al. There is no exaggeration in put
ting it among the great eooh-making
occurrences, like the gathering of the

In Europe we still see not much be
neath Its quaint and naive surface,
which was undoubtedly both exciting
and entertaining. But in America ev
erything has liecn changed by it. Opin
ions and aspirations which lurked half
formless in mummed depths of the
public consciousness a twelvemonlh
ago, are now on top, familiar to all
eyes and ears."
After a personal sketch of Mr. Bry
an, which was evidently written by
some one who has seen and observed
him keenly, and who does not derive
his impressions from the iiortraits In
the book, the Saturday Review says:
"Very likely Mr. Bryan would have
made what even his enemies would call
a good President commonplace, per
haps, but reasonably conservative,
and above all things scrupulously at
tentive to appearances." It then adds
and this is the most significant utter
ance In the article:
"Mr. McKInley was elected Instead,
and a brief two months of his admlnls.
trntloti has carried the revolution for
ward as swiftly us t he spring sunshine
and showers are bringing forth the
leaves and buds. Where there
were four Bryan men lust summer,
there are already five this spring, aud
there is discernible nowhere any rea
son for supiHising that their Increase

How Gold Iipntroya Vn'ne.
Advocates of the present system of
currency urge thu; I licit! Is plenty of
money to do Die b'.'slncps of the coun
try and point to the fact that the banks
of New York are congested and cannot
loan their funds, 01. ;:,.luiiunto security,
at U'i per cent, int'-est
We have taken occasion heretofore to
point out this fact, and we have also
pointed' out thnt the employment of a
monometallic gold currency Is : espoiisl
ble for tills unhealihy state 1.1' affairs.
But none are so blind as l Lose who
won't see, and the monometallism,
while they ta'inoan the fact that they
cannot do any business wllh this vast
amount of capital, take great pnlnH to
announce that the banks are glutted
with money and hence there must la
au abundance of currency.
The very fact they quot to prwrs
their ciaini la rhe fact which refutis it.
Gold haa appreciated so much In its
value that there is little value left In
anything else. Real entate Is no longer
good security, for it has depreciated
from 50 to 75 per cent In price during
the last five years, aud men with money
to loan fear a further decline. Under
the rule of gold their fears are justi
fied, for the inevitable result of the
single gold standard is the continued
appreciation of that standard end the
equivocal depreciation of all property
values.
It seems strange that men refuse to
recognize these facts. They are as ob
vious as the phenomena of gravitation.
Illustrations abound on every hand.
Prices for all products have steadily
fallen. Value has gone out of property
and has gone Into gold, and yet the
stupid argument is made that because
gold Is congested in the banks the coun
try has plenty of money. Money In
hanks Is dead. It is of no more use to
traffic than gold In the veins of the
mountains. Chicago Dispatch.

Why Is it that there !s so much reluc
tance on the imrt of the Republican
party to take any action in favor of the
Cuban insurgents?
Simply because the sugar trust is de
sirous of keeping Cuba out of the Uni
ted States, for If Cuba should become
an integral part of this nation the Cu
ban sugar business would be taken
from the control of the trust.
The majority of the American peo
ple are in sympathy with Cuba, and it
CUBAN POLICY.
is just possible that so great will be
the pressure of public opinion that the
trust may le bullied. Events are mov
ing rapidly towards intervention. The
outrages of Spaniards on American cit
izens and their insolence in flring on
American ships are arousing a spirit
that cannot, be held much lunger In
check.
There can be little doubt tlmt the
President is inclined to take some ac
tion friendly to Cuba, but there can
also lie no doubt that Krcflt pressure
Is being brought to bear to keep hhn
from committing this country in favor
of Cuban liberty.
Secretary Sherman took occasion ear
ly In the day to declare that he would
not accept Cuba as a gift, and this sen
timent met with an enthusiastic re
ception on the part of the managers of
the trust and of those who are the paid
attorneys of the trust.
Efforts are being made to secure the
co-operation of some Kurojean power
with the United States to secure a set
tlement of the Cuban affair on the ba
sis of autonomy. That would suit th
trust. Will the scheme succeed?

What are the Republicans going to

Between the two stools of protection
