Tho report of tho referee In the suit of Mrs. MU wer for divorce from M liner was sub mitted to the court today, uocompan ted by the reuutwt of couusol that It Ibo continued. hoit I)y the London county council, somewhere between London bridge uml Hatteraoii, Vn Its munlclpnl ferry, a large wad containing in the neigh borhood of $.'00,000. The Under will he liberally rewarded upon returning tho mime to Taxpayer, St. VltuV-ln-tho-Sor.p, London, E. C.,- and no questions nuked. '. Tlio aldnrmon may own the town Ami all with In tho city's kon, Cut yet tho tiuestlon will not down On, who will own tho aluormen? n u It li t!io universal bailor evorywhoro tint the business of all cities is mis inaii:ig?d by the chosen representatives of th? people. According to M, O. logic, thl i condition of affairs will bo Improv ed 1 y puttiut; the city fathers in con trol of our private business as well. Wo are not sure that a city owned saloxj would prove a failure after all. The average alderman may not know much about running railroads or tank ing g.is llluinlniitlng, wo mean, not natural but few of them can be Just ly accirod of a luck of familiarity ulth tho requirements of a suceefully imimigcd corner say-whon pnla Why not give the civic cocktail n trial V H The public bntlis of Shorodltch, Eng land, have been closed for lack of patronage, but the taxes for their erec tion and maintenance are still payable. It would have been better had the mu nicipality experimented with n public flpongo before, going Into tho bath business on so expcnslvo nnd elabo rate n scale. You can drive an Eng lishman to wator, but you cannot inako him depart from his old fashioned, conservative method of using It, and as long as ho prefers a private trickle to a public dip a bath houso built on tho scale of a Carnegie., library be comes a auporllulty and therefore an extravagance nnd a failure. S K One potent argument In fnvor of mu nicipal owncrslilp Is that It will ulti mately bring city bonds within the reach of all. Bonds bearing Interest nt 3V4 per cent sold several years ago for 311U17. Today bonds of the sntno municipality under tho threat of mu nicipal ownership sell for 100.017. If this rnto of depreciation keeps on nnd municipal ownership becomos an ac complished met, there Is no reason why any householder should not' lii time bo able "to paper his walls with :lty securities. Our decoratlvo art editor suggests that a very handsome and appropriate frieze for the drawing room of nn old maid could be mado of clvli; Ice bonds at small cost. BEFORE AND AFTER. Maps Illustrating tho Change Brought About by the London County Council Election. WILL HELP FIND NORTH POLE. Afl IT WAS. In this map of London tho denil black indicates that part of Loudon having n "moderate" or antl-muulclpal ownership representation In tho county council before the recent election, tho white that part having "Progressive" tcprcscutntlon, which has governed tho world's metropolis for eighteen years nnd almost bankrupted It with munici pally operated street enrs and other en terprises, nnd tho Blinded portion Indi cates divided representation. AS IT IS. In this map, also, black indicate') "moderate," whlto "Progressive" nnd shading divided representation In tho council. The contrast In the two maps is remarkable. They show much more graphically than words or figures could bow complete has been tho change In London's sentiment. The maps nro copied from the London Dnlly Graphic. IT WOULD END THE UNIONS. DISADVANTAGES OF M. 0. Cities Can Make Moro Out of Utilities In the Way of Rent Than Operation. So for the weight of evidence Is to the effect that municipalities can inako more out of municipal utilities In tho way of rout than In the wny of profits. Private enterprise can do moro with them than can municipal olllclals, and tho point to which public opinion should address Itself Is that a fair com pensation should be obtained for tho franchise') confetred and that they should be so conditioned as to make them us beuellelal as posalblo to tho public. A great danger to which municipal operation Is exposed In this country Is that under our system the cost of mal administration would not bu brought homo to the mass of tho peoplo with the force and effect which tho English system of loeul taxation provides, while It would certainly tend to create an army of employees whoso lutorest In the maintenance of the system, re gardless of coat, would bo npt to cor rupt elections, -llaltlmoto News.

Trading with the public credit, whether state or munici pal, must of necessity lead to stupen dous tluauclal liabilities, add to the burden of the taxes, weaken munlclpnl credit, bring about Inequality of taxa tion, Interfere with the natural laws of trade, check Industrial aud sclcntlllc progress, stop luveutlou, discourage In dividual effort, destroy foreign trade, uttahllsh mi army of olllclals, breed corruption, erealo an aristocracy of labor, demoralize the voter ami ulti mately make socialistic communities of towns aud cltliw.

II It'll K" greatest merchant, put the matter In a nutshell when he said to a delegation that hud come to enlist his support of the plan to immlclphllKO the street rail ways of IMilcage: "I shall be glad to concede that your plHii Is the serious, dh;ultled, business, like remedy for existing evils that you represent It to U when you have demonstrated to mo the ability of tho city of Chicago to operate a decent elevator borvlco In the city ball." Would Strikes De Troasonablo Under Publlo Ownership? About two-thirds of the people clamoring for government ownership of railroad lines, telegraph and ox press companies are either members of labor organizations or closely Ideu tilled or In sympathy with their cause. Do these men know that government ownership mviiiii the end of lalwr or ganizations? Tho government recog nizes no Interference or disturbance of Its plans aud arrangements. It has Its multiples of red tape, nnd the man In Its employ must work to tho letter and have nothing to say. When a man doesn't like u government Job, you never hear of any riotous dem onstrations when ho gets separated from It.. Ho nlmply takes his mcdlcluo nnd the few faces ho makes over It have little effect. Wlicin tho government manages nnd controls Its system, It tolls Its em ployees what to do and when to do It, aud it tells them what It pays, and there are no presents. No medals go to government employees. You nover heard of a strlko In tho army, navy or osto(tlco department, yet the government Is the poorest pay- ( master In the world. It pays less wages nml less frequently than any other great corporation. It pays when It pleases aud what It pleases, and your conduct nnd sayings are subject to Investigation upon slight provoca tion.. If there Is nny class f men who should tight desperately and to tho last ditch In opposition to government or' munlclpnl ownership, It Is the great labor organizations of tho couutry.
