BY the action of the Board of Alderman
on Monday evening the lighting of the
city by electricity has been still further
delayed. But we hope the delay is only
temporary. If we are going to have the
light the matter might as well be decided
now as any time and a good deal better.
If there is any advantage in the light
and that point will hardly he disputed
now by anybody-the sooner we get it the
better for the city. We ought to have the
light this week during the IN lslCal iesti
val and we believe the Electric Lighting
company would do themselves and the
city Il benefit if they woull start up and
run the present plant for a few days.
Now the street committee have the mat
ter before them again tor consideration it
thing little more thoroughly. 1t would
be well to consider whether it would
not be more satisfactory to everybody, be
less trouble, and cost a good deal less
money to light the whole city by electrlCl-
ty than to try to run Jhree systems Of
lighting. By the latter plan the centre Of
the city would be brilliantly lighted by
the electric light, while the outskirts
would be lett to get along as now with a
very unsatisfactory illumination by gas
and naptha. The cost would be greater
with the three systems, the result would
be greatly inferior, and there would in
evitably be much dissatisfaction. a little
figuring and perhaps an experiment, with
one of the church spires for temporary
tower, would aid the committee in solving
the difficulty.

Pastry without Butter.

The American pie has been subjected to
more unjust abuse from foreign writer's
than any other OF our distinctive products,
if we except the recent TRADE against the
American hog. And yet we cannot say
that it has been altogether undeserved, be-
cause of the villainous compound, thick
hard, and heavy, that is too often made to
do duty as II 'crust,o and which by cour-
tesy is called pastry" Light, tender
faky and dlgestlble pie-crust and all
kinds of pastry can be made most readily
by the use of Royal Baking powder with
out any butter, or with half the usual
portion, if preferred, or with small
quantity of lard or other shortening as
desired Pie crust thus made is much
more wholesome and digestible, besides
being more economical and easier prepar-
ed In addition to saving all the butter
if desired. one third the flour is also dis
pensed with, as the crust is rolled that
much thinner, the leavenng qualities of
the Royal Baking Powder swelling it to
the requisite thickness. If dripplngs or
lard be used the Royal Baking Powder
removes any unpleasant taste, rendering
the crust as short, sweet and pleasant as
if made from the finest butter. Those
who know the appetizing qualities of the
genuine home made American pie will
rejoice that by the aid of Royal Baking
Powder IN the pastry 1t can be made quite
as digestible AS it is delicious.

To the Editor of the Free Press:
That brilliant statesman, Matt. H. Car
penter, senator from Wisconsin, once
said: when | was president protein
of the United States Senate could have
told whether Senator Edmunds was in his
seat or not by the character of the legis-
laton that was pressed for action, even
though had been led into my chair blind
folded. In his presence, jobbery, corrup-
ton and dubious legislation skunk to the
rear, but when he was absent for IA day or
more all these forces came to the front,
eager to get their measures advanced be
fore Edmunds returned"
What higher compliment was ever paid
to public man ? This was years ago
and since then his reputation has evident
not diminished for one of the most able
democratic senators said of Mr.. Edmunds
in the course of an animated political de-
bate Il few days since;
Mr.. President, this country knows that
the senator from Vermont is a lawyer OF
ability. This country knows that he is a
senator of ability. The senator from Yer
mont himself knows after his long wears
of service in this body, the prominent posi-
ton which he has occupied in his day
touching 50 many controversies and 50
many questions of public Importance,
that the press to which he appealed open
~ III the course OF his argument would
give to the country utterances from him
which the people OF the United States
would have right to receive and accept
as IN the nature OfJudiCi0l declarations
Who Will undertake to say tnat any citl
zen would question for instance state
ment Of fact and Of record made in his
place on this floor 10y the senator from
Vermont; The honor to any man in this
HE which reaches that measure of public
confidence is one not to be despised,"
This was said by Senator McKenna OF
West Virginia, so that high democratic
authority asserts that when Mr.. Edmunds
speaks, his words are to be received by
the whole people as judicial declara
tions."
But some say that there is "ily on his
barn door" | have seen that fly and have
criticised it as much as any one, but am
not ready to have the great barn door OF
the senate taken down and have the flood
of "jobbery, corruption and dubious leg
islation' that Matt. Carpenter speaks OF
pour in. The obvious moral of all this is
that if Chittenden county republicans
want to maintain the reputation of the
county and the state, they must athena
the primary meetings and elect delegates
to the county convention that Will not be

dark blue or brown, a wide plush stripe OF
the same color, in which were scattered
soft tufts of white OF longer pile. Not UNI
like the cashmere stripes in general effect
are the ''moyenage" stripes which are seen
on the same sort of goods; while last on the
present list of imported novelties in wool
are those in which the plush stripes consist
of narrow bands between which are seen
rows of fine beads. These are woven firm
ly into the fabric by some mysterious
process and, though small in themselves.
are extremely effective in lighting up the
otherwise rather heavy looking material.
Among the combination goods of domes-
tic manufacture are some very handsome
mixtures, woven in soft, loose fashion,
and striped with an indefinite cashmere
like design, in which some one color pre-
dominates, as red in dark gray mixture,
ecru with brown, etc
A few checks are also shown. the pref
test being about half an inch in size,
formed of three or four threads of white.
black and white, red and white or yellow

The designs which are given with this
are pretty when made up in the wool goods
described above. and will need no further
explanation.
