Col. Barksdale for governor, and the
election Of Senator Lamar to his pres

This seems to be fair, and also salts
factory to many of the friends of Col.
Barksdale. That Senator Lamar will

MASON Call: THE fact that three
fourths of the papers ofthe state have
joined the low tax party shows that
the voters have preceded them, and
are now with that party. That's all
that can be made out oft. The aver

himself, and pays but little attention
to the organs. Wiight's vote over

MORE than half the weekly papers

act. This is good healthy sign, and
means that the people who read and
support papers are making themselves
heard. AS to the dailies, they all in.
dors, the measure vigorously except
the LEDGER and the Avalanche. The
latter paper, however, has said that the
act would be all right but for
the coupon feature. The LEDGER's
position is for a readjustment at 30
and 3, and therefore we are practically
alone as far as the dailies are con-
onned. No doubt some Of them will
see the error of their ways before the
next election, and come out for the
right. The canvass will be opened
virtually this year. The issues are
so momentous, and the taxpayers
will 50 soon discover what a
load they would have to carry, that an

There is great deal of religion in this

know whether electric lamps are for sale in
the market, what Is their cost, whether they
can be sent By. mail, whether battery i re-
quired TO operate them, and the cost Of an out
fit to light a,house. or store. Such purpose
would require small system Of electric
lighting, including steam engine Of small
horsepower, generator, and from three to
ten lamps, depending upon the candle-power
per lamp. In the Edison systemthe number
OF lamps required Is calculated from the
number Of gas Jets; but 1t last accounts Mr..
Edison was not prepared to deliver systems
ofelectric lighting to order. The Brush Flee
trio Light Company and the Company one
rating the Maxim lamp are the only two COM
panies 10 deliver systems to order. Il would
cost about u 500 for the small system "a
quired TO light store, and Of course an alec
trio engineer would have to superintend the
work Of putting the systen u operasson.--
