Electric Lighting.

To the Editor Of the Press;
The Electric Light Company have notified the
committee that they are prepared to light the re-
manning districts of the city with incandescent
lights
In consequence of the natural anxiety felt by
citizens toat their particular locality should be as
well lighted as any other wish it distinctly I'M
derstood that the Electric Light Company agree to
light all parts of the city to the satisfaction of the
committee, and if at first the new light is not suf-
fcient it shall be made so before accepted by the
committee.
The incandescent municipal system is a new
one. The application of the goose-neck extension
to the gas post was invented here, and although
the insulator to prevent the ground connection
through the iron post with the ground proved in
sufficient at first, it is now perfected. The hood
is unsatisfactory, and will be replaced with some
form of glass hood to reflect and increase the eff
fectyeness of the light. The manufacture of
these hoods is delayed by the strike at the glass
factories of the country.
beg the citizens to exercise patience and give
the Electric Light Company and the committee
time to perfect the lighting of the streets; and
when any defect is noticed notice to the Electric
Light Company, if not at once attended to, will be
remedied by the committee on receipt of notice
by postal card. E. A. MOVES,
Chairman Street Lamps.

PORTLAND Nov. 18th, 1885.
To the Editor Of the Press:
The more the removal of Luthrr Sterling by
John w. Deering is considered the more outra-
geous does it appear. Without and opportunity
of being heard in his own defense, without being
confronted by witnesses against him, one Of the
most honorable policemen is summarily removed
and an attempt made to disgrace him forever!
And this by man who cursed Mayor King and
the five Republican Aldermen for removing Ben
iamin F. Andrews after preferring specific charg-
es against him and giving him fair and impair
tial hearing. Mayor Deering may, as he does, at
tempt to shield himself from the indignation of
the public by taking refuge under the provision OF
the Police Law of 1884-5 which makes it optional
with the Board of Mayor and Aldermen whether
to give an officer hearing or not. But that dodge
won't work. His unjust and disgraceful treat
ment of Mr.. Sterling is in perfect keeping with
every act of his while he has occupied the office
which he now occupies for the last time. say
for the last time because If an election were TO
take place tomorrow Mayor Deerng could not
carry Wards or 4. The Democracy are heartily
sick of him.
consistent, because when he was last Mayor ne
attempted to remove Deputy Marshal CroWeil
and Officers McGrath and McDonough without
preferring any charges against them, without even
giving them reasonable notice of his attempt TO
disgrace them. Happily his conduct in these in
stances was SO dsgraceful, and his pretexts for 9
their removal were so fiimsy that the Democratic
Aldermen refused to support him.
Conceal by whatever suhterfugcs he may the
true reasons which aetuated John w. Deering'
action in the removal of Mr., Sterling were politi.
cal if not then he convicts himself of the most
consummate asininity No man ever accused Mr.
Sterling of falsehood For fourteen years no Off
Ger on the police force has been more faithful No
citizen in the community has demeaned himself
more honorably, or has won a better name. Mr..
Deering must have known that he told the truth
when he testified as he did in the WEIGH case:
Certainly no other man in the community would
for moment question hslntegrity unless possibly
behring's fdltS 4Acbdtes the immaculate Mr.. An
dreWs This being the case Mr.. Deering virtually
says TO the members of the police force unless
Won testify in every case as l desire will remove
You. So that policeman is in this dilemma. If
he tells the truth he is removed. If he does not
he commits perjury. All honor then to Luther
Sterling for being true to his convictions of duty;
for testfyng to the TRUTH rather than commit per-
ii nrv even though by so doing he was removed
IRON the police force Honest men respect him
TODAY more than his prosecutors. A fair and i'm
partial public win in 3 very short time consign
from which the accidents of politics has for brief
and ftful season rescued him, JUSTICE.

lesson; A team, loaded with coal, came
slowly up the hill. 1t was driven by young
man, who stopped the team opposite the
church, took off the check rein, patted the
wearied horse on the head, spoke to him in a
pleasant voice, took an apple from his pocket
broke it in halves and gave one to the horse,
who evidently relished the dainty morsel,
and took the other half for his own eating,
and after few moments more of rest, with
kindly chirrup to his horse, mounted his
team and drove on. BLESSED is the merci-
full man." A.

How beautiful are the above lines
uttered by the worlds greatest
mind! How infinite the scope OF
mans power if his faculties are
well preserved. Nothing, short of
creation, is to him impossible. Our
soul is lost in admiration when we
contemplate the possibilities of this
greatest exhibition of Infinite Pow
er. Yet what is this ''quint-essence
of dust" when blasted by disease
his noble functions perverted or de-
strOyed?
AS ''all men are born free and
equal" as far as moral rights are
concerned, so likewise we hold they
should be born physically, but as
long as children must suffer for the
sins of their parent this cannot be.
That the human race has deteriOr-
ated physically is conceded ques
ton. To restore it is an impOsSi-
bility, as long as people persist in
immortality and induIgences which
are i'm disregard of natures laws.
The most we can do then is to
ameliOrate this condition, and cure
disease in individuals.
To this end we offer to the pub
lie, remedies which have done
more gOod--accOmplished better
results in overthrOwing disease
than any others which have been
discovered up to the present time,
viz:
DIR. FLOWERS LIVER AND
STOMACH SANATIVE, AND
NERVE PILLS.
The former is an infallible REM
edy for all affections of the Liver
and Stomach, and is besides all in
valuable general tonic. The lat
ter is reliable cure for all ner-
yOus diseases and conditions, such
as Hysteria, Sleeplessness, Nervous
Prostitution, Depression caused by
OyerwOrk, etc.
These remedies are extensively
prescribed by physicians, recon-
mendatiOn which does not obtain
with any other proprietary article,
and command at the hands of the
druggists in New England a larger
sale than any other medicine.
