range of experience. The <;"*!-«••.iv Corpora-tion, after starting with a high tension station,substituted for It a low tension continuous cur-rent syittem. and eventually established un ex-iMMNw and eo«tly plant for the purj>oses oflighting and traction. Th* average pric* forlighting is 'JMd. per unit. Edinburgh, with asmaller plant. reduces the price to U.7M. forlarge consumers of light and to l^d. for motivepower an.l heating. Birmingham taught outthe property of a private lighting companytwelve years ago. and at heavy expense hasbeen converting the system to higher voltage,improving the mains and extending the cir-cuits. Electric supply, while not yet felf-suj:-ttining in Birmingham, has been undertakenon a large tcale from the outset at Manchesterand Salford. and email balances have beenavailable year by year f<r the relief of !<%oal tax-ation. The necessity for Introducinc; electrictraction in the municipal tramway services hasbeen of determining influence in the provincialtowns. Ithas forced the local governing bodiesto municipalize the tramways and to control theelectric supply, and while the outlay for :mproved plant is enormous, and there cannot l<e

\u25a0 wide margin for profit until the cyst of theundertakings is fully liquidated through thegradual operation of sinking funds, facilities jare offered for cheapening both traction an<ilighting,and absolute control of a future sourc*of municipal revenue is obtained. Municipalsocialism, when carried out •».• Kngli^h cau-

'tion and conservatism, is an Investment which >

is likely to prove highly advantageous In the !course of a generation or half a century. Elec-tric supply is one of the resources upon which Ithe municipalities can safely depend In the courseof time as an Instrument for easing the burdensof local taxation. Carping critics, like the writerof the series of pessimistic articles in "The

'

Times. are complaining of the Increase of Ilocal Indebtedness and of the introduction of

'Improvements before the r .-> 1 for them Is ur- Igently felt; but there Is no evidence outside of

'the maxe of misgoverned London that the bur- •dens of taxation have been increased by well 'ordered municipal enterprises of a progressive

'character. The tramway service, gas and elec- Itrie supply, and housing and improvement !schemes, are self-sustaining branches of sck-n- ititle local government, and the time is coming iwhen all these sources of revenue will yit-idlarge return*. i.M F. !

Electric-

ipply has beer me one of the im-portant municipal industries of the UnitedKlngaOrn. The provincial towns having pur-

chased and enlarged the gas plants for llght-

houses and streets were reluctant at the out-

let to introduce an electric system, and were dis-posed to allow private corporations to experi-

ment with it; but as soon as its commercialvalue was ascertained they took advantage ofthe short periods for which concessions had beenobtained by electric lighting companies and ob-

tained control of the business on reasonable

terms. Parliament had been wiser than theto*n corporations in this matter. A select com-mittee had conducted an investigation in 1870.tod ar if i »\u25a0•> |>a*»od in ISS2 arming munici-

inal cost, less depreciation, without any allow-ance for Koodwill or prospective profits. The

term was subsequently extended by an amend-ed act to forty-two >.•«!>. but the conditions formunicipal ownership and operation were so lib-

eral that private enterprise languished. Themunicipalities waited until the experimental

period had passed and Many private companies

had failed. They profited by the experience of

the United States and Germany, and finally tookpossession of the business when it could be •("!-

for tramway traction. Municipal enterprise in

Great Britain is clow and cautious, but it se-cures control of every legitimate industry as

THE DRAMA.

A one-act play, that trimly utilizes th* Tele-phone, was presented last night at th* GarrickTheatre, with Mr. Edwin Stevens to Its centralpart.

Itcontains two scenes Th.first prepares the situation and the second displaysIt At first Andre Is shown, equipped for a lour-ney, taking leave of his wife and household in alonely dwelling, at some distance from Parts andhe is made to use the telephone, to communicatewith the friends in Paris at whose dwelling hisjourney Is to end. Peril is suggested and a slightatmosphere of suspense Is created. At the lastAndre Is shown in the society of his Parisianfriends, and then and there he receives the tele-phonic message from his wife. The effect that hasbeen sought in this composition will be found inconsummate excellence. In De Quincey. paper oncertain remarkable murders.

Mr. Edwin Stevens, who Impersonate.! Andre-sustaining himself, by dint of impassioned

earnestness, Ina plight of agonizing trUl.-ha* longbeen known as an expositor of eccentric character,both serious and comic, but not as an interpreterof tragic emotion, for which. Indeed, he revealsneither physical aptitude nor marked spiritualpower. Characters of mental force and deep sin-cerity, flowering in elaborate manner*, formidableor quaint, are well within his reach; but his finestyle becomes flurried and nerveless amid thetumults and vicissitudes of passion. He showed afine personality, and he successfully expressed amental condition that gradually changes from gen-tle levity to anxiety and then to fear and dread.and this he did with refinement of manner andmuch and natural variety of articulation: and atthe climax he simulated overwhelming consterna-tion and anguish: but he never once communicatedthe thrill of passion and tremor of terror*

The play Is not commendable for intrinsic worth,for the reason that itImpart.** nothing of any valueto the auditor. Horror and distress can be madetributary to imaginative purpose, as in the MurderScene \u25a0 "Macbeth"; but horror, presented merelyfor its own sake. -as \u25a0 naked fact.-is gross, shock-ing, and Inartistic. Were it otherwise. "Titus An-dronicus- would be h good play and Dlckens'aNancy, dabbled withgore, a sympathetic spectacle-whereas they are revolting atrocities. The per-formance given by Mr Stevens is creditable to him.as a respectable effort in a mood that la foreign tohis temperament and at variance with his person:but. like the play which it inhabits. it is only acuriosity and the freak of a moment. Mr. Stevenshad three curtain calls, at the close. This telephonepiece is Riven as a prelude to Mr.Marshall's adap-tation of "The [..,.):•.- Battle." called "There'sMany a Slip." in which Miss Millward and Mr. Sid-ney Herbert are acting with great spirit and givingmuch pleasure. \v.W.
