that Mr. Mills, the statesman Of CorsIcana' VIII
not he reelected to Congress this fall in the 1Xth
Texas District 1t would be altogether httlhe
for Messrs. Cleveland and Mills to fall together.
They were the Joint authors Of the great free

section set up a man of its own. one Oh thesc
candidates represents the Hon. j. Nelson Pid-
cock, who considers himself a majority of the
district and the other represents some heady
Democrats who aout Mr. Pidcock's pretensons.
Neither candidate is likely to withdraw, partly
because each has a pretty determined and pug
nacious set of hackers and partly because there
is. now no place to withdraw to; so that there Is
fair promise Of struggle for blood and votes
until the polls close in November. Meantime the
Republicans, now that the way to victory is open,
did wise thing at Newton on Tuesday when they
selected as their candidate the Hon. N. w. Voor-
hces, Of Hunterdon. Mr.. Voorhees, was born IN

vented him from saying festered." That would
have hit off the situation with neatncss and
veracity
1t would be an aesthetic loss of no little mag
nitude if the brilliant rows of electric lights on
the Brooklyn Bridge that outline the noble curve
Of that superb structure, were t. he hidden from
view. They form one of the distinctive sights OF
New-York and its vicinity and, since they are
visible for SO great distance and from So many
points of view, any device that would shut them
of from the gaze of the community would be re-
ceived with regret The complaints OF the
navgators who find their brilliancy dazzling and
misleading it must be admitted, have considerable
force, and since TIE Lighthouse Board have juris-
dcton over all bridges across navigable streams
there is ground for the fear that the question may
be decided not from the aesthetic point of view,
but on the ground of cold, hard facts. The in
structons of the Acting AttOrney-Gencral that
the law must be complied with, are capa-
BILE of liberal Interpretation. 1t is
greatly to be hoped that some arrangement may
be made whereby navigation may lie rendered safe
and at the same time this coronet of jewels on
the brow of the beautiful bridge be retained If the
lights are really as dangerous as they are said to
be- there ought to be some facts at hand in regard
to results that have been caused by reason OF
them. AS we are informed, there are no such
results. Why is this the case if the lights are
as Objectionable and disastrous as they repre-
sented to be-? Has there not been eXaggcration
in the matterp If merely a little more vigi-
lance and sharp-sghtedness are required on the
part of pilots, is this too much to ask of them as
the price of preserving one Of the most striking
exhibitions anywhere to be found?
