tlrift is unmistaka-y-1?ection
of public owner-
street railways and electric
The best governed city on
li, Glasgow, owns me sireei rail
ways, and since it acquired them the
benefits have been so numerous and
palpable that opposition has quite
vanished. Since Glasgow took its
street railways in 1894 fares have
been reduced about 33 per cent, and
the service has been improved until
it is conceded that the tramways of
that city are the finest undertaking
of the kind in the country.
The change has proved profitable
as well as beneficial to the riding
public. In spite of the reduction in
fares, for the year ending June 1,
1 896, there was a clear profit lo the
city of $213,000 above operating
coat and all fixed charges, interest,
taxes and depreciation.
It has been said by the opponents
of municipal ownership of the street
railways that what Glasgow has done
cannot be successfully imitated in
this country, and the only argument
brought forward to support that con
tention is the bare assertion that the
American people are incapable of
self-government. It is the old tory
plea, raised In 177G when the patriot
forces were striking for liberty.
The drift is strong toward public
ownership of all such public or quasi
public monopolies. The cruder the
government, the greater the monopo
listic powers surrendered to private
corporations. Time was when even
the military power was out of the
bands of the people, and they were
compelled to seek protection for life
and property benea,th the feudal
standards of baronial captains. To
these barons the masses paid enor
mous tribute, and out of this tribute
the feudal lords supported their fol
lowing of men at arms.
There was resistance then to the
demands of the people, and there is
resistance now. Always men are re
luctant to yield sources of power and
profit. Cities which have wrested
their waterworks from private owner
ship have done so only after a severe
struggle. A like struggle must pre
cede the public acquisition of the
street railways.
Mr. F. A. Carle, who for eight
years has been managing editor of
the Oregonian, has severed his con
nection with that paper and goes to
New York to take editorial charge
of the Commercial Advertiser. Of
Mr. Carle's ability as a writer there
is no doubt, and yet his departure
from Oregon is Oregon's gain. Carle
is evidently a dyspeptic, and his
work shows it. He has perhaps said
more uncalled for and unnecessarily
unkind things of and concerning Or
egonians than the balance of the
Oregon editors. At least, we have
been given to understand that Mr.
Carle was the author ot the articles
to which we allude. We hope along
side of Buttermilk channel he may
find a new cook, and take, in conse
quence, a brighter view of life.
This being the first Monday in
September is a legal holiday, arid
known as Labor day. It was ob
served here in the way other labor
days are, everybody who had any
thing to do doing it. In Mexico it
is said every day is a holiday of
some kind ; but with Americans holi
days are, and always will be scarce.
There is too much activity, too much
xusu after the almighty dollar, to
against Leutgert is that he killed his
wife and then destroyed the body by
putting it in a vat in a bath of caus
tic potash, by which it was entirely
consumed. The evidence is entirely
circumstantial, though it is said
Leutgert was desirous of getting rid
of his wife, and had threatened to
kill her. If she was killed, the body
has never, been found ; but the pros
ecution rely largely on the fact that
the rings belonging to Mrs. Leutgert
were found in the vat.
A wild Alaskan, writing from that
land of promise, says: ''Dogs are
worth their weight in gold. A good
long-haired dog sells for from $150
to $200." Alaska gold is worth $15
an ounce, so it seems that a good
long-haired dog would weigh from
ten to thirteen ounces. There is a
wide range of variance in an Alaska
story, whether it is concerning gold
Or dogs.
Mr. E. B. Piper, who for several
years has held the position of city
editor on the Oregonian, has gone to
Seattle to take charge of the Post
Intelligencer. As Mr. Carle has
also severed his connection with that
paper, there is to be a decided change
in the editorial staff.

Remarkable Core of Chronic Diarrhoea.
In 1862, when I served my country as
a private in Company A, 167th Penn
sylvania Volunteers, I contracted
chronic diarrhoea. It has given me
great deal of trouble ever since. I have
tried a dozen different medicines and
several prominent doctors without any
permanent relief. Not long ago a iriend
sent me a sample bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
and after that I bought and took a 50
cent bottle ; and now I can say that I
am entirely cured. I cannot be thankful
enough to you for this great Remedy,
and recommend it to all suffering veter
ans. If in doubt write to me. Yours
gratefully, Henry Steinberger, Allen
