thousands of dyspeptics have beet

One of the most striking prac-
tical enforcements of former Sen-
atoi Ford's contention that the
city of New York could do better
for itself in the matter of rapid
transit thau private co porations
will ever do for it in the experi-
ence of Liverpool. In many ro-
spects Liverpool and Now York
aio cities of similar municipal
needs. Both are greut commercial
ports, with miles of docks and
whaives to maintain and busy
harbors to police. Both are de-
pendent upon distant suburbs as
sleeping places for their congest-
ed populations. Aud Liverpool's
rapid-transit problem was similar
in character and just as hurd to
solve as our own until a few years
ago. Liverpool bou ht out its
street-car lines in 1807. They
were then furnishing poor service
and charging 5-cent fares. The
city created and bus hi nee oper-
ated a system of double-decked
electric cars, admitted to be one
of the fine-t in Europe. The
fares are 2 cents for three miles
or less, 4 cunts up to live and a
quarter miles, and eight cents up
to eight and a quarter miles. Last
year the receipts puid lor all ex-
penses and improvements and
yield* <1 about $780,000 net in-
come, which went to reduce the
tax levy. Besides operating its
strei t-car system Liverpool is
otherwise the leading exponent of
BritL-h municipal socialism. Its
ten miles of docks are opeiated
by a Dock Board composed of
leading merchants and shippers,
and all the profits from dock dues
are turned into improvements in-
stead of inlo the pockets of pri-
vate dock companies. Liverpool
also operates public baths cover
ing every district, public laun-
dries, sterilized milk depots, pub-
lic concerts, organ recitals und
lectures, and, most costly of all,
a system of city tenement blocks
at rentals that so fur have not
paid anvthing on the investment.
With this exception till its mu-
nicipal enterprises have paid, and
its rapid-transit system has paid
handsomely.
Honesty Pays.
We have just read in one of our
exchanges nn account of a young
lady who, by tho death of rela-
tives, was placed m very reduced
circumstances, and compelled to
enter a dry goods store as sales-
woman at the glove counter.
Some very defective gloves
were given her to sell. Sli3 call-
ed the attention of the floor man-
ager. He told her it was her
business to oboy orders and sell
whatever she was told to.
She couldn't do it conscientious-
ly, though very much in m*ed of
her wages, told him she could not
He discharged her and she was
almost heart-broken. But the
mercnant who owned the store
noticed her absence, heard floor
manager's explanation sent for the
young lady, examined the gloves,
sent them back to the manufact-
urer, thanked her in behalf of
his firm, raised her wages, and as-
sured her that she should never
ajrun tie interfered with in the
conscientious discharge of her
dut v.
We like to read such accounts,
aud wish American nrw« p*p r-
would publish more of them.—
