The prO rata system of paying war
rants adOpted by the State Treasurer is
a vicious and unjust one, as we con
tended at the time he first adopted 1t.
There is no equity in paying warrants
dated in December of any given year
in the same proportion and at the same
time with those dated in January. OF
eleven months previous OF the same
year. All warrants should be paid, ac-
cording to the order OF their date.
When sufficient money has accnmula-
ted in the Treasury to pay In full all
the warrants issued in a certain month,
announcement of that fact should be
made by the Treasurer, SO that holders
of warrants that are dated that month
could present them for payment and
receive their money. That would OBJ
yiate all question of priority or prefer
enee earring constitutional WarraDts)
except as to date of issuance.
But Treasurer Burke has adopted the
pro rata plan, and is putting obstacles
in the way of it's operation by requir,
ing warrant holders to go into cOur1
and obtain judgment fixing the order
in which they are to be paid. The
Treasurer arbitrarily CONSTITUTES the
Constitution against all ordinary war
rant holders, and gives preference t.
such of them as he thinks are entitled
to it, and refuses to sWerve from hi
position, except by Judgment O
court.
Il seems to us that it should be thu
object of a State official to maintain
the public credit, and not by lawsuit
keep locked up in the treasury none.

COMMENT ABOUT rows,

The result created general surprise. All
estimates OF the majority before published
gave Wilson from 1900 to 4,9S5, and there
was singular similarity in the unofficial
returns from Randolph county, Wilson
being credited with about 500 majority in
that county by all reports, whereas the
official returns give him $50. This vari-
ance alone Is sufficient to make the ma
jority over 5000. The official returns from
Randolph were delayed until repeatedly
sent for by Governor Jackson. The large
amount OF money bet on {, 900 majority for
Wilson makes this difference important,
and there were those about town last
evening who declared their belief that the
Randolph returns had been fixed, while
nearly everybody agreed that the agree.
mentin different unofficial returns and
the variance between them and the Off
cial returns need explanation.
The State election in Richie county in
November was ignored by the Legislature,
Judge Raymond raising the point OF order
that they could not be considered, as the
resolution under which the joint session
sat recited that 1t was for the purpose OF
counting the vote cast in October.

A NEW GAS LIGHT
which Is Expected to Rival the Electric
Briliinnts.

Which Is Expected to Rival the Electric
Briliiants.
To-day the Gas Trustees will place on
the lamp post at the Mcclure House cor
ner one of the large siemen patent re-
generative gas lamps. 1t is big affair
al will doubtless attract much attention.
These lamps are being extensively intro
duced in the East especially in Baltimore,
and in numerous instances have super
coded electric lights both in stores, public
buildings and on the streets. II is ex-
pected that the lamp to be put up to-day
will illuminate Market and Twelfth
streets for a square in each direction. 1t
is OF 500-candle power and will burn about
40 feet an hour. Tho ordinary fish tail
burner now used on the street lamps are
Of but 16-candle power. The fundamental
principle Of the system is the introduc-
ton into the flame, OF gas and air in the
proper proportions, and besides, the most
thorough use Of the products Of the COM
bustion, and the perfect evolution OF the
burned and cooled gases from the regen-
orator., whereby at the same time, the
illuminating effect Is enhanced, the con-
sumption OF gas reduced, and, when used
in houses, the sanitary demand OF constant
ventilation effected. It gives very bril-
liant white light and burns very steadily.
lift Improves success the Trustees will
probably put up several others along the
principal thoroughtares. 80.
