' MELLEN TO GRANGERS. Tell Them Conditions Are Due to Prosecution of Corporations. HARTFORD, Conn., Nov. 13. In ad dressing the members of tho National Orange and their friends at a public meeting tonight, President Charles S. Mellon, of the Now York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company, said: "The prejudice excltod by dema gogues and politicians against corpor ations has now reached a stage whore others are suffering. The burden which has rested so long and heavily on cor porations and those charged with their affairs is being distributed, and tho community will soon have its own troubles to worry about. "Tho losses in value, credit and for tunes in this country since tho begin ning of this year have boon greater than occurred as a result of the Civil War . ."This la not a rich man's panic; it is a widespread distress, rapidly ex tending Itself to tho farthest sections of the country. Even those who did not know the gun was loaded, whoso only thought was sensation and pop ularity, are becoming sobered by tho outlook." GRANGE MAKES A GAIN.

The summary of their views as members of the Civic federation com mission by Messrs. Clark anil Edgar Is one of the most striking features of the report of that commission. Repre sentatives as they are of two of our largest public service corporations, no one can read their statement without foellng that in this case they stand as representatives of American principles rather than of corporate Interests. Their words nre a confession of fulth faith in American ideals of business, In American principles of government and In the ability of American man hood to solve economic problems with out sacrificing these ideals and institu tions upon tho altar of socialism. Frankly admitting, as they do, the existing abuses of corporate privilege and welcoming intelligent regulation of such industries, they do not accept the dictum of the municipal Socialists that a cure is to bo found best or only In laying upon our city governments burdens of administration which they were never designed to bear. They find the solution of the prob lem rather In cordial co-operation be tween the corporations and tho public, a recognition on the part of corpora tions that their prime business is to serve the public well and recognition on the part of the people that their re lations with such corporations 'must no longor be left in tho hands of cheap politicians, but must be Intrusted to men of honor, strength and breadth, who shall see to it that the rights of tho people and of the capital Invested shall alike be conserved. If our citizens ns a whole have a similar faith in American institutions they will patiently co-operate with the men within and without tho corpora tlons who nre mnufully trying to cure the evils, and they will view with dis favor the patent curo-nlls that are be ing prescribed by political quacks. HOW TO LOSE MONEY. Molina's Experience Shows That Mu nicipal Ownership Is a Good Way. The city clerk of Molluo, 111., writes as follows in regard to the electric light plant: "Original cost, $12,000; terms, cash. "The cost of operating the plant while owned by tho city is very hard to determine from tho fact that the plant was at that tlmo operated in con nection with tho waterworks. The books show that appropriations were made for both plants under one Item. "The reason for disposing of tho plant: The plant being what was then known as the old United States sys tem, which company had gone out of business, hence repairs for our plant could not bo obtained, and as tho same was about worn out the only thing, therefore, tho couucll had to do was tho construction of a new plant or to light the city undor contract. Tho latter was adopted for tho reason thut the finances of tho city at tho tlmo did not allow tho construction of a now plant." According to a local paper, tho amount invested In the plant nt tho time it was sold was $25,010, and the selling prlco was $7,000. Tho city went into tho business because it was claimed that lights could bo run for about two-thirds tho price charged by a private company. Although 1,200 cnndlcpower lamps wero used and thoso on moonlight schodulo, tho op erating cost was found to be $54.50. Tho addition of interest, depreciation, etc., would have brought this up to about $100. Tho present contract prlco for 2,000 cnndlopower lamps burning all night is $U0. SOLD PLANT TO SAVE IT. Lagrange Practioally Wrecked Its Light and Water Plant. Tho president of tho village of La grange, 111., writes as follows: "Tho water and light plant In this vllhigo was erected by a private cor poration under a thirty year franchise At tho end of tho first ten year ported tho village exercised the privilege which It had under tho franchise and bought the entire plant. Tho original cost is not known. We paid (or agreed to pay) tho sum of $100,000 for it. Mu nicipal control nnd ownership wore not successful, and after a few years It was sold to a branch of tho 'Edison company, tho consideration being that tho purchaser assume nil obligations standing against the plant and put It In good order. Nothing bad beeii paid on tho principal by tho village. "Tho cost to the village for Incan descent street lights under tho original franchise wns $10 a year. Under mu nicipal administration no ouo can tell, as tho plant ran down so greatly that tho new purchaser has paid over $108, 000 so far to put It lu good order and Is not through yet. Contract prlco nt present again $10 a year. "Reasons for Belling tho village could not raise the money necessary to rehabilitate the plant. Undor our law wo could not pledge tho corporate cred it, but only the plant Itself. Ttio pros pect that the village could uiamigo It successfully was not attractive to capi tal." A Letter From an Illinois City. Tho superintendent of a municipal electric light plnnt whoso name is sup pressed as a matter of courtesy writes as follows: "Our municipal plant has no reports. We do not make any. But wo are run ning about $300 to $:!."0 lu debt every month, due to political handling. Too mnny polltk-nl friends and too low rates, etc." Municipal ownership of public utilities tnenns owr.ershlp by the .cltU-s for the bosses to control. Lyman Abbott. CIPALUNACY By JOHN KENDRICK BANGS. The Loudon county council has tried In vain to sell or lease the municipal owned Thames steamboat.' Now, If our old friend Sir Thomas LIpton will only buy one of them nnd bring it over hore as a challenger for the America's cup, will he not kill two birds with one stone, earning the everlasting grat itude of tho London taxpayer and win ning a dukedom by restoring the covet ed trophy to the mistress of the seas? t A distinguished traveler has noted that every great city has a special aroma of its own. This was the one best bet In New York a short while ago when the drivers of the city gar bage wagons went on strike, leaving tho city with a tlavor so high that It made the Flatiron building look like an artesian well by contrast. The city of Wheeling, W. Va., uses natural gas for fuel in Its retorts. So do most writers on the subject of mu nicipal lighting plants when anybody says that their product Is no light mat ter. H When your alderman buttonholes you at a busy moment and tries to talk to you about tho desirability of municipal ownership of electric lighting plants, nsk him quietly what under the pro posed system the output In kilowatts per $1 in wages will be. If he asks you why you wish to know, tell him that ns an owner of horsepower you are interested In ergs. In nine cases out of ten he will suddenly remember a previous engagement and vanish. t . When the city of Boston went Into the Ice business some years ago she harvested 030 tons nt a cost of $00 per ton. This didn't include the value of tho water either. Is It any wonder with theso figures in mind that the hot Scotch is a more popular beverage at tho Hub than the absinth frappe and that tho Athens of America has given the icy eye to public ownership schemes? We do not like to differ with a dis tinguished statesman, especially when ho is an authority concerning that of which he speajjs, but wo demur to Hon. Timothy DT"SullIvan's prophecy when he says, "Give us municipal own ership In New York and Gabiiol will find Tammany ruling the city when he blows the wakeup born." We have an abiding faith tlat In such an emergen cy the people will wake up long before Gabriel begins to houk. We do not credit tho rumor that the municipal ownership advocates of Mar lon, Ind., have tried to secure the ex clusion of Rudyard Kipling's novel "The Light That Failed" from the pub lic library on the score of offensive partisanship. DEAN B0VEY AGAINST IT. The Eminent Canadian Opposes the M. O. Gas Scheme In Montreal. While In Washington recently Dr. Henry F. Bovey, dean of McGIll uni versity, Montreal, said In the course of a discussion of the proposed opera tion of the Montreal gas works by the municipality: "I am of course opposed to any such proposition. Any one who under stands the engineering aspects of such a plan can readily see that to turn over u lighting undertaking to muulcl" pal authorities would be equivalent to making It a tool of politicians who would not operate for the good of any ouo but themselves. In your own coun try tho experience of Hillndelphla should bo enough to make any city hesitate on embarking lu an enter' prlso calling for a largo number of minor employees who would be nothing but political appointees and chosen be cause of their allegiance to tho party In power. "From the standpoint of economy any ono can see that It is more costly for a city to operate its lighting plant than for individuals who have been trained In their respective departments for years and whose tenure of ofllce doesn't depend on political exigencies." Taxpayer Turned Down. Cnlvln Stein of Nlles appeared there be fore the bonrd of public service on Tues day nlKht nnd demanded an examination of tho city's hooks to learn whether the city's otlielnU are paying fur the gas and water which they draw from the munici pally owned plants. Hla demand was turned down. Wnrren (O.) Chronicle. Nllos, O., lias boon advertised as an example of successful municipal own ership by n small city. Its plants were Installed In 1S01 at a cost of $50,000, bonds for all of which are still out standing. Meanwhile tho tax rate has risen to $3..rit!, the highest In that county. Offices Are Still Spoils. Imagine a business man selecting a capable bead of a department because of his politics or religion! The Idea Is almost a relic of barbarism. The merit system why, every business house lu Cincinnati Is using this very system, nnd yet public ottlco under the spoils plan Is regarded as a sluecuro to be doled out for effective party service. Charles C. Klrkpatrlck in Citizens' Bul letin. Greed for spoils, graft lu big and lit tle things and Incompetency seem to b Inseparable from municipal ownership. This is true to some exteut under the best managed city administrations, while the ordinary ones and those Which nro conspicuously bad load the laxpA.vers down with heavy burdens of luneeefsary expense.

What To Do. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Hoot, the great kidney remedy, fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne cessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most dis tressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.
