The petitions for street lamps on
the corner near Elder Ridlington's
and near WIN. Rathert's at the south
east corner Of block ten, Beadle &
Strong's ambition. were not fayorably
acted upon by the town council. The
street and alley crossings in con-
struction and maintenance are tax
upon all the real and personal prop
erty Of the corporation; and 10 il the
providing OF street lamps and light
ing them, as well as the employment
of the person who attends to them.
The property OF the persons living on
the outskirts Of the town, equally
with the ones who live nearer its
center, il taxed for all these purposes;
and the persons and property thus
situated and taxed have right to de-
mand and receive not only street
crossings but street lamps. The
false economy that would refuse to
grant such petitions is only stilted
selfishness, utterly indefensible; and
we very much doubt ii the ones who
give such reason honestly believe it.
The matter will be brought up again,
and the prayer Of the petition should
be granted or else they should he re.
lieved Of the expense Of supporting a
night watch for whose services they
have no earthly use.

The Direct War Tax.

The PLAIN DEALER of last week re-
peats the statement, already explod-
ed. that w. w. Belknap, as State
agent for Iowa is to receive *96, 900
commission ON the direct war tax to
be refunded to Iowa, in case of the
passage of the bill. Governor LARA
bee says that Belknap's commission
will be only 8 per cent of the direct
war tax returned, and % per cent on
claims for money expended raising
troops for the war, Of which about
$35, 765 is claimed, but difficult to COL
lect.
Iowa claims 1884,. 2.4sO, the actual
amount she paid over to the United
States under the direct tax act APP
proved August 5, 1861. The commits
sion of per cent on this amount
would be only $11.52S.2 "a just $s4,-
All. Is less than the PLAIN DEALER
states it to be. But then that Is
pretty close guess for Democratic
paper to lnake.-Cresco Times.
And a man like Belknap who
would sell post traderships for few
hundred dollars would shout long and
loud for $11.5S2.24 But why does the
state OF Iowa need an agent to look
after it's interests when it has two
senators and eleven representatives
in congress for that express purpose.
II an agent is needed hasn't the state
q reputable citizen worthy OF the
commissions man who has not
been compelled to fly from as rotten
an administration rs Grants to es-
cape impeachment!

Judge Hubbard, one OF lowas
leading railroad attorneys. has paid
Bro. A. n. Bailey $23 in behalf OF
the railroad companies. for the circu-
lation of the railroad annex by that
paper during the last session OF the

payment, friend Bailey shrieks loud
and Justify because Cncle Sans paid
agents made him disgorge the post
age due the government under the
law. OF this sum $50 was paid az
postage, and the balance, ., COM

The Endless Railway.

A successful application of an old
idea has lately been made by Mr. Will
lam Fender. Of Bucnos Ayres. By
means OF certain improvements he
claims to have overcome the difficulties
experienced in using an endless rail-
way to embrace the wheels of vehicles
having to traverse soft soil. The wheel
consists Of chain Of fiat slabs of hard
wood, which are rivetcd between
thin steel plates, and arc linked TO.
gethcr. tho chain oncircling the wheels,
80 that. RS they turn, the blocks form
themselves into broad track in front.
The system has proven very effective
In carting heavy loads across roadless
tracts in South America. and over
swampy grounds near Berlin, and it is
believed that the device would be val.
liable for steam engines for plowine,
