CitU Lamps Not Needed.


MR.. EDIroR:-Looking over the pro-
ceedings Of Council atIits meeting of
Thursday, the 22d inst, as reported in
your valuable paper, petition was
presented from citizens asking for lamps
on Ninth street, between West ard
Washington, read, and on motion re-
ferred with power to act, which means
presume, final action. If the commit
tee will visit the street and will give it
their proper consideration, they must
conclude that there is no need for
public lamp in that locality, if they are
judicious in the expenditure of the
city's money. 1t is just one
hundred yards from the light on
West street to the one on Washington,
and is one Of the shortest squares In our
city, Shipley TO Market being the short
est of any known, l believe, in the city,
| am almost a nightly walker on that
street between the hours of seven and
ten O'Clock, p. m, and, residing in the
immediate vicinity, know whereof |
write, and assert that in my opinion
more light than at present will be SUI
perfiuous and unnecessary to the public
generally. The Council has in its GUS
tody report for lamp on Eighth
street, between the same points, (West
and Washington), which remains over
until April or May next for final action;
which, presume, was on the score of
economy. l do here apply the very same
objection to that one as OH Ninth street,
and only do SO upon the principle for
which our Council was elected-"Dem-
ocratic economy"-and that they should
serve their constituents with the same
care and consideration that they would
in their personal private capacity.

WHATDOES 1T MEAN2

At the democratic torchlight pro-
cession, and during the republican
torchlight procession, democrats were
frequently heard to cry ''hurrah for
Jeff. Davis!" What does it mean7
Does the democracy now fifteen years
after the war intend to resurect the
old issues, that should be dead and
buried with the past; or are they still
advocating a dissolution of the union?
Then is the nomination of Hancock
only blind curtain drawn before
the face of the audience. while the
democracy behind the scenes may
destroy the government 1t means
something, but we can not just now
state what. Every time the yell for
"Jeff. Davis" or the "Southern con-
federacy'' goes forth it weakens their
strength and increases ours.

harvest her greatest wheat crop. The

There vii be very little wheat, with
less than eighteen bushels to the acre,

bushels per acre. Many farms, varying
from 500 to 10000 acres, will average
from twenty-five to thirty-fve bushels
per acre. The Red River Valley and
the Missouri Valley are all beginning
to strive for the supremacy in point of
bushels tothe acre. New sections are
