The refusal of the West Shore Mills
Comiany to furnish the city with
street lights except upon condition that
th-; city shall enter into a lung term
contract to continue the lights at
fixed rate Is ridiculous and untenable.
The city has the same or a better right
to demand a light service from the
company for one night, one week, one
month or one year eny space of time
however long or short it sees fit to
accept the service as any private
consumer, the only difference being
that In the absence of a term contract,
at a stipulated rate, the city would be
obliged to pay for the service rendered
the commercial rate charged private
consumers. The principle upon which
a term contract is made between a
municipality and any public utility
franchise holder is that the city gets
a benefit over the general public or
any private and transient consumer In
a special rate obtained and in security
against possible fluctuation in the cur
rent rate charged from time to time. In
other words, a long term contract Is
supposed to inure to the advantage of
the city rather than to the contracting
company. But the West Shore Mills
Company Is proposing to pervert or re
verse the effect of this rule for its own
benefit. It says to the city what it
would not care or dare say to any pri
vate consumer or applicant for its ser
vice. It says the city, although the
source from which it derives its au
thority to go into the lighting busi
ness and to whose Indulgence It is in
debted for the privilege of occupying
the public streets and highways with
its poles and wires, shall not have the
game convenience it stands ready and
must offer to any private consumer. It
denies to the city what it would glad
ly grant to any strolling minstrel or
circus performance; namely, the u.e of
its lights for a night, a week, or any
other space of time, however brief, for
which its service might be desired. It
refuses to light the streets for the
Fourth of July celebration or to enter
tain any proposition for furnishing such
light short of a three or five years' con
tract, and that only without guaranty
or promise of quality or standard. Thla
is indeed a peculiar position for a pub
lie franchise holder to occupy. In the
case of a private consumer "any court
in the land would hold such dictatorial
high-handed conduct ground for the
annulment of its corporate charter. In
the case cf the city it is a violation
of its franchise and the council can
declare Us further right to use the
streets and sidewalks In carrying on
its business forfeited. Its poles and
wires may and Bhould be ordered out
for want of public utility and as un
lawful obstructions and a nuisance in
the city's highways. The West Shore
Mills Company has made a mistake-
it has Rone too far. and should be
dealt with as an example and a warn
ing for other possible offenders.

EXPANSION NOT IMPERIALISM.
Extanslon is likely to be not onl
the most Important but the most warm
ly cnusteJ Issue of the coming cam
palgn, and if the expansion plank 1
the last in the Republican platform it
is perhaps the one which will be read
with the grtatest interest. Fortunate
ly the wording has not the slightest
suggestion of imperialism. The para
graph is wholly sane, logical and con
cise. and it proclaims a policy which i
absolutely necessary in one respect, a:
it is reassuring and generous in an
other.
A short introduction refers to the
overthrow of the Spaulsh sovereignty
in the West Indies and the Philip
pines, and it Is then pointed out that
this developed upon us the responsl
billty '"to provide for the maintenance
of hv.v and order, and for the es
tablishment of good government and
for the performance of international ob
ligations."
After this follows a shrewdly turned
expression which will give the "antl
imperialists" some trouble. It is:
"Our authority could not be less than
our responsibility."
That, we think, sums up the whole
question of expansion. If there were
real and very serious obligations, such
as the prevention of anarchy, the pro
tection of foreigners and of life and
property generally, and we know that
there were, why cry out against an
authority which Is merely commensur
ate with the responsibility? With all
that has been said against the exer
cise of this authority, we have never
yet heard a single suggestion by way
of a substitute that deserved a mo
ment's consideration. There has been
an interminable deal of querulous
criticism but of constructive statesman
ship not a word.
To the people who are destined to
remain under our flag there Is prom
ised "the largest measure of self-government
consistent with their welfare
and our duties," and to Cuba there is
ac assurance that the pledge of inde
pendence will be fulfilled. This should
have an excellent effect in Cuba, where
attempts have been made to convince
the natives that the Americans were
not. acting in good faith.
CHINA DOOMED TO ULTIMATE DE
FEAT. The Chines government should have
discovered during its war with Japan
that it was jtterly unfit to cope with
foreign powers In battle. Never were
weakness and rottenness more hope
lessly exposed. The army was a lead
erlesa rabble, its equipment the very
worst that might be expected from a
set of boodllng officials w ho i re said to
be the most corrupt in the world.
But the challenge now issued to
Japan, America and Europe would in
dicate that nothing has been learned
from that severe lesson. If there has
been some strengthening of fortifica
tions, there has teen no general im-

Admiral Seymour's contingent was so
very small that the mere venture on
Pekln speaks volumes for the contempt
in which the Chinese military is held,
and, no matter what its fate may have
teen, there can be no doubt about the
ksue of Intervention. The capital will
be taken as sure as a Mauser is a
more effective weapon than a Chinese
bomb, the empress will discover that
she has made a fool of herself a sec

will say once more, "I told you so,

still show that they have learned noth
