Step Toward Municipal Ownership. One of the most significant steps toward the municipal ownership of street railways lately recorded has been taken In Brooklyn borough of Greater New York. The borough ha* a population of about 1.300.000, and with the exception of two small Independent companies Its interarban transportation U In the hands of one big corporation, the Brooklyn Bapld Transit company, which operates about 500 miles of street and elevated road, carrying over 300.000,000 passengers annually. According to the Brooklyn papers, the service has for a long time been utterly Inadequate and has lately grown to be Intolerable. The long suffering and Indignant people finally took the matter before the Kings county grand Jury, which In turn has made a somewhat startling and

radical presentment.

After finding that by reason of negligence, Inefficiency and unwillingness to perform their duty the Brooklyn Bapld Transit company and Us constituent corporations have forfeited the tight to their franchises, and recommending that the attorney general take action to annul their charters, the grand y suggests that "the only solntlon of i vexed problem of metropolitan transportation Is municipal ownership and operation of the means of public travel." After giving the opinion that the result would be efficient operation, lower fares and a surplus revenue the grand Jury recommends that the municipality of Greater New York acquire all the street, elevated and tunnel railway systems at the earliest opportunity and operate them “for the benefit of tbe

people."

It will be Interesting to note what further action follows this first step toward municipal ownership in the eastern metropolis. If the New York and Brooklyn papers are to be believed. It Is difficult to Imagine bow municipal management could give more wretched and Intolerable service than that supplied by the existing transportation companies of the great city.

After the Durbar—What? According to all accounts, the Delhi durbar. In commemoration of tbe coronation of Edward VIL of England as emperor of India, which has Just been brought to a close, was unquestionably the most gorgeous pageant, or. rather, series of pageants, that the modern world has ever witnessed. It suggests that somehow the English rulers of India got possession of Aladdin’s magic lamp and needed only to rub it In order to have gold and silver, diamonds and rubies, silks and cloth of gold, elephants and various strange and decorative beasts rain down In the camp at Delhi to grace a British festival An account of the closing pageant gives this splendid picture: An almost Incalculable wealth of gold and silver was displayed aa the seemingly never ending medley of elephants, camels, troop*, musicians and carriages, representing the different Indian state*, passed before the vice regal dais. The elephants carried howdahs and trappings of the purest gold and silver. There were carriages of pure sliver and sedan chain of All tQs la very fine and gives tbe ts>preaslon that India la rich almost beyond comprehension. We hare read before now of “the wealth of the Indies.” but we have also read more frequently of the famines of India. Since the Indian government has an Aladdin's lamp which it could rub for this magnificent spectacle, why can't It rub occasionally for a little food for the starving Indian people! Under Lord Cnraon’s rule In the last two or three years the price of food and commodities In India has riseirtrom 40 to 00 per cenl with no Increase In work-

distress has resulted. Borne pall of India, indeed. Is chronically in a state of But the great durbar, which has cost nobody knows bow many million pounds sterling, la over. What next!
