THE ELECTRIC LIGHT.

Every other day brings dispatches saying
that some European will contest Edison's
application for q pateut on the ground that
:" he is not the first and true inventor of
an electric light" These appear to be
based on a misrepresentation Of facts. Mr..
Edison does not claim to be the first in
ventor" of an electric light, or even to
have invented one at all. The electric
light is old. 1t is the utilization Of the
electric light that Edison claims-the in
vention Of means for subdividing the light
SO that it car be used in small burners in
houses economically. This is all he claims
and it is enough. He has arrived at the
conclusion that an eighty horsepower en-
CINE will generate electricity enough to sup
ply 4S0 lights Of twenty candle power each;
that the electricity eau be supplied without
the least loss. md that as each light is
turned down the engine will go slower and
slower, so that there is no waste OF power,
and that it will cost about 50 a burner per
year-not more than one-seventh the price
Of common gas. He has invented a metre,
too, in order that the pay may be graduated
to the supply. So that it is not at all the
electric light that Edison has invented, but
certain simple devices whereby it may be
safely and cheaply used.

THE SENATORIAL CANVASS IN
SUCKERDOM.

In Illinois the canvass for United States
Senator has some peculiar and interesting
features. The Republicans have a majority
of four on joint ballot Of both Houres Of
the Legislature, and will therefore elect a
Republican Senator to succeed Roaring
Dick Oglesby, provided they can agree in
caucus upon q candidate. This they were
unable to do two years ago, when Logan
was defeated and Judge David Davis
elected by the votes Of boiling Republicans.
This year it will be harder still, for there
is a swarm OF candidates, several of them
blessed with loud lungs and strong claims
upon the gratitude Of the party. Oglesby
is q candidate for reelection. General
Logan is not happy away from Washing
ton. He has the support of the Inter-
Ocean of Chicago, of a large part of the
''stalwart" element, and Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, Of which denomination
he became an interesting convert several
years ago. Oglesby's friends hold that as
Logan lost his chance to be reelected in
1876, when there was no leading Republi-
can candidate opposed to him, he ought to
have the good taste to keep out of the field
now. There is force in this argument. but
Logan is busily electioneering at Chicago
and elsewhere. Governor Collum and Hon.
Jehu Baker, United States Minister to
Venezuela, have their respective followinSs,
and Elihu B. Washburne is warmly sup
ported by the Chicago Tribune. Behind
all the other candidates appears the shad-
owy form Of Grant himself. 1t is limited
that if Washburne cannot count friends
enough in the caucus to nominate him, the
only living ex-President will be brought
forward as the consolidator OF conflicting
interests, and the savior of the Republican
party in Illinois. This programme is of
course contingent upon General Grants
failure to secure the Bulgarian throne.
The politics Of Illinois are thus complicated
with those Of Bulgaria in an unprecedented
way.

roU TAXING CHURCHES.

The Rereille has an article demanding
the repeal Of that portion Of the revenue
law which taxes Church property. The
Reveiue is mistaken when it says all Church
uroperty Is subject to taxation. II our
memory serves us without going to the
trouble to turn to the law), Churches, val
ned A. not to exceed 81 500 each, are ex-
empt from taxation. The exemption, 1t
was belived, would include all Of the poorer
denominations in the State. The chief
reason for the passage Of the law was this;
The property of all charitable, or secret
societies had been, by special enactment,
session after session, relieved Of all taxes.
The value Of the property Of this character
in the State aggregated-and still aggre-
gates-millions. 1t usually pays q hand
some interest on the investment. There
are several Masonic and Odd Fellows lodges
In Nevada which hold dividend-paying
property. One Church in Virginia City
owns . valuable block on G street, other
than Is covered or occupied by its Church
ediace. These things considered. it was
deemed the proper thing to do, to require
all property to bear its just proportion Of
of the burdens Of government.
And why should a magnificent Church
property, or Masonic, or Odd Fellows hall
escape taxation, while the poor mans dwell
ling Is not overlooked7 We are no stickler
for that part Of the statute including
Churches, but we do think it the safer rule
to compel everything of value in the State
TO bear an equitable tax.
Trinity Church, in New York, owns mil
lions Of dollars worth Of property in the
very heart Of the great city. For twenty
years the taxation Of this vast property has
been demanded, but the lobby influence
and money Of the organization have always
been sufficiently strong to prevent legisla-
ton looking to that end. We have no idea
that any such powerful Church organize
tion will grow up here in Nevada, but we
do nave an idea that, as a matter of sound
governmental policy, it is better in all
cases to maintain q distinctive barrier be-
tween Church and State.

Burke, the Gambler. Sentenced to
Twelve Years.
OMAHA, Neb., Dec. IL.
The trial Of James G.. Burke, for the
murder Of Morris Weihl, was concluded
this morning, by the jury returning a YER
dict of guilty of murder in the second de-
gree, and recommending that he be not
sentenced to the full extent of the law.
Burke is a professional gambler, and in
September last was playing pool with
Weihl, who finally owed him a few dollars
and refused to settle, and also greatly
abused Burke. Burke went out and got a
revolver, and in 10 minutes found Weihl in
a leather store, and shot him in the region
Of the heart, killing him almost instantly.
Burke was this morning sentenced to IL
years in the Penitentiary.
