EDISON'S ELEOTRIO LIGHT.

According to New York stock
journal there are few among the
listed securities so little traded In
now as the electric light stocks. This
is doubtless almost wholly due to the
unfortunate experience of those who
bought these stocks at fabulous
prices when they first came on the
market, and have since seen them GO,
comparatively speaking, almost out
of sight. OF course the Edison COM
panies, and their stock issues, made
the market for this class of securities
and ruined it again also. A one
hundred dollar share of the Edison
Light Company once sold on Wall
Street at $4,000. The same stock can
now be purchased for $40, and the
we'll informed doubt If 1t is worth
ever the latter small sum. Were it
not for the prestige Of Edi-
sons name, which gave thei
stock Its first boom, but could
not save it from its final collapse, the
stock would probably have no regu
lar market price. 1t has never paid
a dividend, and were it not for the
auxiliary companies, which are
construction and manufacture
ing companies, we doubt if 1t could
pay its expenses. The light fur
has fallen below the expecta-
tons of the company's partisans, and
Is regarded as a failure by the dis
interested. An inspection Of its
light in many of the buildings where
it has been Introduced will satisfy
any one that it is far inferior to the
light supplied by two or three other
companies whose names are but little
known to the public.
Electric lighting generally is by
10 means a failure. Indeed, there
ire ample evidences of its being
necessarily used in our own city.
But the electric light system can be
improved. 1t is bound to
,ecome the illumination Of the future
md as experience in its use develops
is possibilities a nearer approach to
,erfection will be reached. Other
are making as great an ad-
'ance toward that perfection as Mr..
edison. He must look to his

Is \ pity for the Democratic party
that i'll health overtakes its cham
dions with such continuity. 1t then
repeats the oft told tale about Til
den's zone foJt in the grave" aud a
new yarn about Carlisle's head

gr ut Republican statesmen: Here
Ia Blaine suffering from sunstroke

Financial NeWs.: Some OF the over
jealous friends of General Logan are
starting a Presidential boom for that
gentleman, asserting that Grant,
Conkling and Blame are all favorable
to his aspirations. That may be, but
not Grant, Conkliny and Blaine eau
unite strength enough to carry such
timber as John A. Logan to the
White House. The Senator from
Illinois has got about as high in the
political world as he will eve get
much higher already than his friends
thought possible "befo' the wah."
II the Republican party has no hef-
tier Presidential timber for the next
nomination, Chicago will surely be
the cradle and the grave of that
organization.

The argument OF which Mono
metalists rely to carry their crusade
against silver to u successful issue is
that silver is accommodating in the
Treasury-a mere question Of vault
room. This does not reach the main
proposition at all. There are some
where in the neighborhood of $l25,-
Co., 900 of silver coined and bullion
In the Treasury. OF this sum less
than $50. Co., 900 belong TO the Govern
ment, the remainder being covered
by silver certificate which constitute
H. valuable a form of currency as We
have. But that sum is not excessive.
The bank of France now carries over
$500, 100000 in silver; the Imperial
BANK Of Germany $75, 600, 900, and
the Netherlands and Austro-Hun-
garian bank conformity, 500, OOO,-
700. That In the Treasury vaults is u
mere bagatelle compared to that car
ried by some of the foreign powees.

The OanvilIe Investigation. =

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2l.-The first
witness in the Danville investigation
to-day was ]. b. Blackwell, (white).
Judge Of the Corporation Court Of
Danville. He testified to the circum-
stances leading up to the riot. and
said the whites formed In line and
fired a volley at the negroes: the dis
charge was like that Of we'll drilled
soldiers; witness was surprised when
the smoke cleared away to see that
no execution had been done; did not
issue warrants for the arrest of anv
rioters. A Senat n handed the Wit
ness q copy of the Danville circular.
and asked 1t the statements were
true. Witness replied that some
were, but In his opinion the great
majority were false. The negroes
We're in q large majority in e
ward In Danville: there never had
been time when they could not have
elected a negr" TO ill every position
IN the town council; as a matter of
fact the whites had always a major
ity In the council and power to
reLledy the evils complained of in
the circular. 1t vas in the power Of
any man who signed the circular to
learn that certain of its statements
9 false. Witness did not accuse
all the slguers of intentional false
hood; men had been 81 blinded with
passion as to he unable to Judge i'm !!
partially. Witness was a native Of
Virginia and served four years in the
army.

senator Plumb has reported a bill
providing for the erection Of the De
partment of Agriculture into an ex-
ecutive department and making the
head of that department q member
of the Cabinet with the title of Sec
rotary of Agriculture. There should
be no objection to the bill. Neither
the Navy nor the Army departing nt
has In its keeping greater interests
than the Agricultural Department.
The only objection to the bill is that
1t does not also provide for a Depart
ment of Mines and a Department Of
Stock Growing. Both these indus
tries are assuming an importance
which calls for representation in the
councils Of the nation.
