ECONOMY AND DARKNESS.

At the earnest solicitation Of q number OF ouT
mott prominent business men, As well as from our
own convictions, we propose 10 make a few inde
pendent and conscientious remarks on the sub.
ect OF gaslight and lts relation TO the dark matter
ofeeonomy IN the city Of Canton. That economy
is wealth" Is an axionate phrase 1t Is also probA
BILE In Canton that darkness Is to be resorted TO as
aleading method Of economy; but will II prove
economical in the end7 Thieves, robbers, assaR-
aims and plunderers delight in darkness and
where the darkest stshadow fingers will they crouch
for their victims. Truth and solid sense are
mighty; and 1t is nothing but trnth and sense to
assert that city as large and important as Canton
should be lighted at least till midnight II not
later, both for the benefit of the travelling public
and residents and especially during the winter.
We have late night train, aud past winters have
shown that during that season, It has frequently
been delayed till midnight and the morning
hours. Citizens living in remote parts Of the city
are frequently obliged to send some messenger
maybe child, for a physician at midnight; and
even prominent and good men may have frequent
causes for remaining out later than ten or eleven
O'clock, and with no lights on the streets, gar.
rioters and footpads will spot them and grow
bolder and bolder in their vilainy under the
cover Of darkness Even If twice the number Of
lights we now have were TO burn all night, our
police force Is tOcsmall to afford protection to q
city like this, in their most energetic efforts
Again. we have the oil amps in the outer parts of
the town, which will burn all night and leave
the central or business portion in darkness If
any part must be darkened for econOmys sake,
why not revere this order and leave that portion
lighted which most requires it. Leaving out Gin.
cinnati, Cleveland and the rivals, Columbus, To.
ledo and Dayton, Canton stands boldly up among
the list Of Ohio cities that are striving for lead
ing place in the third rank, and for the authorl
ties to darken the streets at ten or eleven O'Clock
at night will be considered nothing short OF an
outrage by large majority of our property hold.
