LIGHTING THE STREETS.

A Criticism and Suggestion IN FAVOR Of q
Home Institution
To the Editor of the Globe.
Your reporter is quite enthusiastic il to
days paper, over street lamp exhibited at
the City Hall last night. I will say nothing
against the light, although better than ex-
hibited by the Globe Gas-Light company at
the same place, just before entering into a
contract with the city fathers for the lighting
of St. Paul. Then, also, we had light
"clear, white and without ficker-not hurt
full to the eye-better and clearer than the
coal gas fame.'' What have we now? A
murky, smoky, tallow candle flame, just
bright enough to make darkness visible.
Now, have no doubt that the Globe Gas
Light company did the utmost to keep their
lights up to the standard, if such was re-
quired, but, unfortunately, the utmost OF
their knowledge amounted to little or moth
ing. They bought the patent of their lamps,
probably, from the inventor, who gave some
general directions how to keep them in re-
pair and where to get a new supply, took bis
money, and left the company of hlgh-sound-
ing title to fight their own battles
Mr.. Joy is only the agent of the "Shepherd
Vapor Gas-Light company" who in turn
own the patent for few States, without
knowing anything about the nature of gaso-
line or the laws of combustion.
Generally. such companies manage tc
secure the lighting of some town or vii
lage, and on the strength of it and the i'm
mense profits arising therefrom, sell their
right.to somepoor unsophisticated individual
to whom the management of the lamps is
represented as child's play, and after that
they fit out to new fields of enterprise.
l do not mean to say that the Shepherd
company will follow the same course, but il
is hardly to be supposed that they will take
the responsibility and trouble of lighting the
city, ali the way from Davenport, Iowa, for q
remuneration barely sufficient to cover the
travelling expenses of the agent.
1, too, advocate the abolishing of the
Globe gas light, but advise the entering into
contract with a man who knows what he
is about, one who can keep the lamps il
good order, q. e., keep up the standard Of
| the light, and who, if possible, is a resident
of the city. Above all, I would prohibit the
transferring or sub-letting of the contract
For of what use are the fines imposed fol
lamps unlit, or insufficient Illuminating
power, when the city is still left in darkness
and no skillful hand in reach to remedy the
evil One IN SEARCH OF LIGHT.

productive, not being used for purposes of

profit.
A recent writer on the subject sum-
marizes the arguments for and against
church taxation as follows:
In favor of taxation
First-The State should not aid people to do
what they can well enough do for themselves.
Second--The release of church property i'm
poses heavier burden on other property,
Third-It helps church to wealth. and SO
to ambition and power that may become dan
gerous to liberty.
Fourth-It is healthier for churches to be
entirely independent.
Against taxation
First-The State ought to encourage religion
as it's best ally.
Second-Churches are the poorest corpora
| lions in the State, having property wholly I'M
productive, and using it wholly for the indl-
rect good Of the State.
| Third-Financially weak, the difference be-
| tween taxation and no taxation would often be
| to churches the difference between life and
death.
| To say that any one of these arguments is
| lacking in force is to confess ones self lack
ing in intelligence. The most potent argu-
ment in favor of taxation is the second :
that its release imposes a heavier b4Ia.is
| upon others, who are perhaps less abe to
meet it. That the church may become SO
wealthy as to become dangerous to liberty
cannot be doubted, if the history Of the past
may be taken into consideration, while indie
pendence of the State will undoubtedly in
crease its power for good. While the Sun
DAY GLOBE is of the opinion that the time
may come when it will be necessary for the
State to compel the church to bear it's share
of the burdens of taxation, it believes that
that time has not yet come. 1t is right and
proper that property owned by churches and
used for commercial purposes should be
taxed, and under the laws of Minnesota all
such property has to bear its share of taxa
ton: but for the present, at least, that prop
erty which is used exclusively for religious
purposes ought to remain exempt. We
cannot give too much encouragement to reli-
gion. Whatever mans belief on theology
may be, he cannot deny that the church ex-
ercises powerful restraining influence upon
the vicious tendencies of those who come
within it's pale. 1t performs sort of police
service that deserves encouragement
