The republican members of the Tennessee
legislature have put themselves on record In
favor of the payment of the state debt. A con-
slider able proportion of the democratic party
believe the same way, and there Is talk of a
union against the repudiationists if the latter
develop strength enough in the legislature to
do any harm.

The proposed illumination of Menlo Park with
Edison's new electric light, New Years Eve,
has induced some of the leading newspapers to
publish full descriptions of the inventors work
and his method together with illustrations of
the machinery by which the light is produced.
Professor Edison claims that he has achieved
success almost beyond his expectations, and
that he can produce light superior to any in
use, light without flame, without danger,
giving out but little heat, vit1ating no air and
free from all tilckering," cheaper than the cheap
est oil. Being unable to find platinum in the
quantity desired, Mr.. Edison devised apparatus
in which paper can be used instead of the pur-
pose for which he intended platinum. Through
small strip OF paper an electric current is
passed, producing soft, mellow light. The
paper is rendered fmpervious to heat by bak-
ing process which leaves only its carbon frame
work. This carbonized paper Is placed in
glass globe, connected by wires with the cleo
tr1city producing machine and the air is e1-
hausted from the globe. Notwithstanding the
announcement OF the complete success OF Mr.
Edison's experiments with carbonized paper
there will probably be good many doubling
Thomases who will suggest the possibility that
another little hitch may occur to prevent the
practical working of the perfected invention"

Curious as it ray seem at first sight, dealers
report that, In spite of the bad weather. to-day
has been one Of the best of the season for the
holiday trade. But the reasons for this are not
far to seek. One is that many persons prefer
such weather to do their shopping in. thinking
they viii thus avoid the crowd they are sure to
meet in good weather; the other is that, being
once in We'll stocked emporium, they prefer to
make their selections and purchases then and
there, rather than expose themselves to bad
walking and bad weather in mere tours of in
SpectiOn and curiosity. Those who stay at
home thinking there is little doing now, and
that stocks Will be as large and as fresh for the
next fair day, are therefore likely to find them
selves disappointed in that respect The wise
bird doesn't go out early after his worm so
much because the worm too is an early bird,
as because the crowd of worm hunters is not 50
great then as later in the day.

A report was circulated in Washington to-
day, upon the authority, so it was claimed OF
prominent republicans, to the effect that the
republicans, OF Maine, have determined to Or
ganize their legislature with the members
thereof who were legally elected and proceed TO
conduct the affairs OF the state. This report is
entitled to more credence and consideration than
statements not authoritatively made usually
are, because, generally appearances indicate
that the program mentioned will be adopted
by the republicans. The action of the return
ing board in counting out the legally elected
members Of the legislature has been generally
condemned, and the party that legally won the
election has been urged. from all quarters, to
peaceably go ahead and carry out the functions
the people OF the state invested it with. This,
it is urged. is the only way in which the fraudu-
lent act can be made ineffective; can~be de-
prived of the fruit that prompted it. This
view appears to be generally adopted by those
who condemn the fraud, and in support OF its
adoption. it is urged that large majority of
the people OF Maine would recognize the repub-
lican legislature as the legitimate one.
