attempt to maintain IL as a permanent
iniliction would produce popular up

We have no desire to accuse tho COM

them, of owning any stock or interest in
the company which Is maintaining the
nuisance complained Of Neither do We
wish, even srcmotely, to insinuate as q
possibility that they may bc sharing in

they were doing 80 they could not be
more insensible TO the public welfare than
they seem to bo in this matter 1t is uni
versally known that the principal streets
of Now York aud Philadelphia, and many
smaller cities, are lighted perfectly by
the Brush and other systems. But 1t is
done in such manner that the public Is
benefited, not punished, by it. Tho light is
furnished by burners at intervals along
the streets, like gas lamps, and eliminates
the sidewalks, crossings, doorways, and
shop windows, as we'll as the car tracks.
There Is not only no reason why Wash
ington should not be lighted in this
sensible way, but evory reason why 1t
should. There is also the plainest posi-
BILE reason why the money once paid to
tho gas company for lighting the avenue,
badly done though It was, should no
longer be paid for the binding glare now
supplied. Why is anybody permitted to

Electric Lights In the Streets.
Sunday Herald.


There appears to be some confusion
existing as to the electric light companies
in this city, many persons supposing that
all the electric lights are managed by one
company, and in other cases confounding
the United States electric lighting COM
many with the Brush-Swan company,
which Is now conducting the experiment
of lighting the avenue ON the tower sys-
TEN by powerful reAectors. That this
light Is q failure and that ii will not be
accepted as a substitute for gas seems TO
be the almost universal opinion. There
Is therefore little doubt that the we'll
founded objections TO the Brush-Swan
system will prevail, and that the present
offensive experiment, which leaves in
darkness tho very spots whore light Is
most essential, will after time be aban-
doned. But that electric lights in some
form will be adopted can hardly be
doubted, unless it should in practice prove
too costly. Tho tower plan being OBJ
viously inadmissible, lamps Of moderate
power placed at proper distances must
undoubtedly be substituted.
The United States Electric Lighting
company which Is composed Of some of
our most substantial and publio-spirited
citizens, hss,we understand, made a prop
osition to light the streets which complies
with the essential conditions. They
propose to place ornamatal. lamps at the
street corners, carrying the wires nder-
ground, and supply light which will
illuminate the building fronts and side
walks as we'll rs tho road way. That an
experiment Of this sort should be tried at
once admits of no question, and while the
abortive Brush-Swann system 10 under
going the test of popular disapproyal we
hope the commissioner will permit the
other company to make fair trial OF
tbair more promising plan.

Let There Be Liuht,

The interviews with prominent citizens
ON the street-lighting question, published
in The REPUBLICAN on Saturday morn
ing, shows very clearly that tho public
does not approve Of the present methods
of making darkness visible. Tho general
disapproval is not expressed in as vigor-
ous language as the subject would justify,
but Washingtonians are proverbially u
long-sufering people, and, having been
for years at the mercy Of an alleged form
of city governmonti which rarely gives
their wishes or their rights much consid-
Grafton. they are perhaps not to be blamed
for enduring with same degree of patience
the evils they have, rather than rashly
fly to those they know not of. For many
years they suffered while a gas company
turned the ordinary darkness of night
into an article of the Egyptian variety,
because there seemed to be no means Of
cscapo. rhey voluntarily hailed tho
electric light as tho coming 'deliverance,
and are slow to condemn it, even with
its dangerous Accomplishments of over
head wires and hideous, binding re1ec-
tions.
1t is barely possible that there is another
city in the world where electric light
companies would have been permitted
to experiment with such apparatus as the
Brush.Swan company now regularly
maintains in Washington. There may be o
town somewhere in which they could erect
their reGectors at the end Of principal
street, binding men and horses on the
pavements, and turning the sidewalks
and crossings into admirable fields for the
operations of highwaymen, for q single
night. But there is probably not village
where they would be allowed to repeat
she experiment a second time, and any
