years in the penitentiary on the Criminal Court
docket. That is the sentence Elijah Mars re-
ceived yesterday on a plea of guilty. William

stealing oats. corn and hay from a farmer, John
Losey, went to trial before a jury, of which six

AnODN SOA1
We publish in another column a
communication in regard 10 the report
of the Councils Gas Committee that
is worthy of attention. As to the
question of which that report treats a
great deal may be said pro and con.
The fact that the city can, by the con-
tract offered by the gas company,
save the cost OF lighting the streets,
even though the present number oil
lamps were doubled is a great tempta-
ton TO the instant conclusion oil a
contract with that company. On the
other hand, could il not be said in truth
that such a saving could only be SO
cured by taxing gas consumers gener-
ally, and would not that be simply
shifting OF the tax, accumulating 1t
on the shoulders OF the few
and relieving the many? Besides
which, there is the objection that
always lies against a government
whether municipal, State or national
having anything to do in creating and
sustaining a monopoly or holding any
interest, however small, in a private
corporation. This is against good
public policy and is opposed to the
genius and purpose Of our govern
ment. But, added TO all these objec
tions, there is the fact of the constant
improvement OF the electric light, inn
provements which, following each
other so rapidly, leave no room u
doubt that before five years roll by II
is likely TO take the place OF gas as q
better, safer and a more healthful
light. Competition is the life of trade
and if, in the face of the awful shadow
OF the electric light, capitalists are
willing TO risk, we had almost saiC
throw their money away, in putting
down a new gas plant, the city SHOULD
not cay them nay. They will do thu
good work OF furnishing employment
to laborers and mechanics, and in
