ury of observance, for Capital city, on the
taking of office by new Governor, to
make some demonstration in honor of the
event and person. This eminentlv proper
Custom has generally taken the form of an
inaugural celebration and ball Where, by
reason of death of his predecessor, how
ever, an officer of State becomes the Chief
Executive, there is of course no inaugural :;
but after the expiration of proper time it
is fit that the Capital city of the State
should compliment such official by re-
ception of some formal character. Enter
tanning these views, and desiring to do
honor to Governor r. W. Waterman, who
in his brief residence here has commanded
the highest esteem of the people, large
number of SacrameDtos citizens have ten
dered the Governor a reception and ban
quet. The following letter has been sent
to him, and the Governor, meeting it in
like spirit, has signlfed his acceptance

The Electric Light Question.
Tlffnr nf flo

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
In view of the prospective action of the CT tt
authorities in reference to lighting our streets,
is it presumptuous for citizen TO inquire
whether the city is blindly to follow the exam.
Dle of those which have gone before or to profit
by their experience in arranging for the greatest
efficiency and-benefit from the services. Ii has
been uniformly fou nd that high power lights al
great intervals tsay 1000 c. p, 400 feet apart
give too much light at the posts and too little al
the halfway point" Now Eve lights of
500 c. p. each. 160 feet apart. will give much
light as two of 10000. p, 400 feet apart, and
distribute the same much more impartially and
pleasantly. In city of such broad streets as ours
and densely shaded this matter
of the aggregate number and individual power
of the lights should be carefully considered, and
the project carried out such manner as to
give perfect satisfaction.
1t would also seem that the citys experiences
with public corporations in the past should
teach the desirAbility, if not in fact necessity Of
municipal ownership and operation of the plant.

the eventual results of Mr. Cham berlain's mis-
