The London Ne,ss OF . recent date
aayt: "fhe electric hRbtlng wh'ch Is
aboutto begin in the city IL the largest
and most important ex xperiment OF the
kind which has yet 5ren carried out 10
London. HITHERTO the slectric Hight h ~
been used ss on the Thames Emhank-
ment and Waterloo Bridge in Ct njnDc-
ton with gas, but 10 the city th tbnr-
oughfares selected are 10 be- hg ted by
electricity alone. The Embauk Inent
lights are put oat and the gas lamps
hgh.ed a. 10 in the evening, in the city
the gas will not be- used Rt all, the cleo
trio lighting bring continued all night.
The hrst dIstaict begins with b ackfri-
arr Br,dge, and extends along Bridge
street, Ludgate Hill, the north side OF
ST. Paurs Church yard, aud down
CbeapsIde as far as King stree. The
distance il ,648 yards and is to..be lighted
by the Brush v stem, which is In use In
ne Palace Yard. At King strset the
SlemeBs sy stem will begin, and will ex-
tend along The rest OF Chsaps,de, the
Pnnltrt, Mansion House stlett, X ng
Wt,lIan street, aud Adelaide place aud
across Louion Bridge. Tue same system

IKE the EmbanKmsut. II will includt
Southwark Bridge, Queen Vlctoria
street, "a distance of 1,7Oj yards. The
experiment win bs continued for q year,
at an OUTLAY of abot 81 ,OOU. There Is ID
curious dlH renee IN the IhTee systems.
The SIem-os sys:em, for which the lofty
lamp posts ATE now being erected near
The Mansion House, has ths smallest
dt,tfict, but will cost for the year E3, ,720;
he Jabl0chkotf, which has sonewhaI
larger space To hght,is to dOittur E2 93a,
while the Brush, which covers more
space than the first. and rather less than
The second. Is TO COST only II ,4l0. The
whole experiment Is now to be tried
under conditions which will affoed a fair
tedt 10 tue three systems; but To make
tho comparison with gas at all fair, 40
equal area should te lighted with the
shaddowless burners, so that the amount
OF light got from the gas may be as
nearly as possi Bile the same ~ hat which
will be given by the electric lights.

PROPERLY never sold so low In this
city. Why is it that all the capitalists
seek TO invest in bonds? Do they fear
Communism and Nihlsm that now
affects Europe? Surely such sentimenis
irjure the working people by destroying

seems will not build or buy houses if

Mr.. Re oDNEY's REVOLUTIONARY
have arely seen more brazen offront-
cry evinced in legislative body than
is shown by the resolution offered in
the City Council by Mr.. Rodney on
Thursday night. In view of the
cherished hopes that Mr.. Rodney has
for the success of his party in elecring
the next Mayor by the aid of negro
votes whose taxes were paid for two
years ahead with money contributed
in Philade phiI to oust Senator Bay
ard from his seat, and TO giv4 he
State TO Garfield we say in view of
this fact it was effrontely in Mr.. Rod
ney to suppose he could influence a
Democratic City Council to pass q
resolution recommending The Legisla-
tHre to ablidge the power Of the
Council by giving 10 the Mayor the
veto power. This would confer upon
the Mayor elected by negro votes the
power to destroy thu legislation of the
Council should it be Democratic. We
take no notice of the fact thai Mr..
Rodney's name has been mentioned in
connection with the Mayoralty. Mr.
Rodney's resolution cuts short the

LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP.

There was a growing impression among
members of the legislature in the city yester-
day that Window will have a hard road to
travel towards 'his" seat in the Senate.
There are no indications of any organized
combination to prevent his election, and 1t is
safe to say that there is none. The feature of
the day was the positive announcement from
an authoritative source that Lieut.. Gov.
Gilman will be an active and persistent candi-
date for the position. He does not enter the
field of his own desire, but in obedience to the
wishes of large number of Senator's and Rep-
resentatlves from the northern part of the
state, who believe that that section has been
too long neglected. Mr.. Gilman has a good
many firm friends, who will stand by him
through thick and thin.
Though it has been an open secret for sew
eral days past that Mr.. Gilman would be a
contestant for the seat now occupied by Gen.
Edgerton but little public notice has been
| taken of the fact. His friends have been at work
| quietly, however, and have received such en-
| couragement as to feel warranted in publicly
announcing his candidacy. The fact that the
Pioneer Press is his bitter foe is regarded as
strong point in his favor.
AS the legislators return from their homes
| and from intercourse with their constituents,
| they are even less communicative than before
| N the bond question. A few were met by
| GLOBE representatives last evening who
were decidedly in favor of some measure oil
settlement, while heretofore they had been
non-committal, but others who had been pre-.
viously favorable to a settlem emit were re.
| served in their expressions. AS whole, how.
ever, the vacation seems to have been favora-
| BILE to the cause of state honor.
The present week will no doubt be talka-
tive one, and there is no prospect of any deci-
sive results. But we shall see what we shall

THE fusillade on Dr. Bliss is still kept
up. A Cleveland correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune has discovered that Bliss
retained his place as physician in charge
of the president by sharp practice, name
ly, by representing to the cabinet that
both the president and his wife de-
sired him to manage the case, and then
reporting to the president and Mrs. Gar
field that the cabinet desired him to act in
that capacity. This story is very thin. 1t
will be remembered that Mrs. Garfield was
not only keenly and constantly on the
alert, but displayed much frmness and
determination at times in opposition to
the physicians. Aside from this, it is alb
surd to suppose that men like Blaine and
McVeah were wound around the thumb
of DR.. Bliss.
