LIGHT
GENTLE GEROULD, LIGHT EN-
UP AGAIN

UP AGAIN
We don; care wo never were raru-
cular and, in fact, woild rathor wall, ia
tle dark along a Cairo sidewalk than not |
wall, at all, whom VIC afc out lsto at nigh, |
and wish to ret to our own homo. But, |
we have observed, that thero |, prejudice
existing among our people in favor OF
light IN the street lamps, Former coun-
ellis have spoiled them and they won do
without light in tho lnmps. We have
trici TO convince them that thoy sre
wrong, that tho council knows what is
bcss that il is much cheaper to run the
city without light than with light that
all cntorprising citils are going 1t blind
q. night and that ho who goes into a city
in the night time and ands it bright with
gas Lights must be forced 70 the conclusion
that the people Of tue city have no enter
prise, while tho dark street. OF q city sot
upon stills, with great convenionces for
breaking human necks-the absence of all
light from the streets OF such Il city would
inevitably impress any man with the
belief that the people were among the
most eniorprlzing ciIizons of tho Union.
Our arguments bavo been in vain. Tho
peopls still insist that our streets ought
10 bc lighted 20 lsmentably ignorant arc
they.
Therefore, We beg the council Is recedo
from It's determination TO US allow 10 re-.
main ia darkness and to say, in its most
persuasive tones Gentle Geroud light
cm up again
We arc with the council prsferring 9
darkness to light bu. tho stubborn people
of the city arc not pleased They prefer
! light TO darkness and therefore wo beg
sible: "Gortlc Gorould, light EN- up
again"
We appeal to tho Fir.t warI-to our
good friends, Aldermen Saup and Wal.
der We ask them TO vote that the Gent Q
Gerou!d shall light em up again Alder
man Saup knows that we know tha. he is
gentleman of an illuminated mind and
