FRIDAY, MARCH Z, 1890.
ELEOTRIO LIGhTING.

Now that village meeting has been
called to consider the subject, residents
are, very properly, discussing vigor-
ously the eXpedency of adopting elec-
tricity as means of lighting our streets.
That the present lights are wholly in
adequate is admitted on all sides. 1t is
also fact that in respect of street
lights we are far behind other towns of
this size in the State, and it is thought
by those who have opportunity of
knowing that the adoption of the new
lights will so add to the attractions of
the place as materially to aid in the bring
ing here of manufacturing enterprises.
One of the propositions made by a re-
sponsibe person is, to furnish 20 arc
lamps of 2000 candle-power for $1,000 a
year. Figuring on this basis, and using
the grand list of last year, it is found
that $50 of the legal voters would have
to pay as their share less than one dol
lar each; 125 will have over one dollar
to pay oyer 100 will pay not to exceed
eighteen cents a year; while it will cost
only ten twelve dollars and over
apiece. Extra lights can be had at $50
a year each, and, assuming that 80 lights
are necessary-which we hardly believe
only one-third would be added to the
figures above given. And, inasmuch
as the great majority of the larger tax
payers favor the new lights, those who
can get the same benefit of them at
smaller cost certainly ought not to OBJ
ject. At any rate, the question is one
which deserves careful and candid con-
sideration at the hands of the voters.

thing it is. If you have ever tried it, you
are one of its staunch friends, because
the wonderful thing about it is, that

discovery ever after holds place in the

should be afflicted with cough, cold or

CAMPAIGN LITERATURE.

There is an old and almost forgotten
not receive from aspirants for political
honor. Their neglect of it is almost
criminal. and is certain to be suicidal to
some of them, as they will find out when
the crop of votes that bloom in the fall is
gathered in. The gentlemen who wish
to honor the State by serving it, or are
not averse to the State honOrng thcm-it
is all one and the same to them whichev-
er way it is put-will unqucstionably es-
TEEN it Il favor if their attention is called
to Swift's The Art of Political Lying
and to the probable benefits to be derived
by them from issuing an edition of it
with suitable notes. The literature of
the campaign is already quite bulky, it is
true, but much of it. is dull and stupid,
being made up, for the most part, of full
some praise, improved charges and long
winded compilations of prematurely-
published obituary material which no.
body except the candidates reads. The
made exceedingly interesting by judi
cious editor, and its circulation might
have decided effect upon the fortunes of
those engaged in the war now on.
1t is unnecessary to go over the whole
work in order to establish the Justice of
these observations, but it may not be
amiss to point out few of the ways in
which the treatise, so edited, would aid
the combatants. The author lays down
the rule, for instance, that when one
ascribes anything to person which does
not belong to him, the lie ought to be cal
culated not quite contrary to his known
qualities" Thus taught, no friend of Mr..
Batchelder would think of saying that he
always forgives and forgets political op-
ponents, though he might assert that Mr.
Batchelder is willing that his opponents
should forgive him when he needs their
help. Nor would Judge Powers partisans
picture him as absolutely ignorant of the
arts of the politician, but would say
that he was triie out Of practice. A
supporter OF Mr.. Ballard-if he has one
besides himsef-would not be guilty of
denying that he is blizzardous old
polyphone, as the New York Sun calls
notorious lecturer; but he could safely
contradict the man who said Mr.. Ballard
had been heard at distance above a
mile when addressing jury. 1t would
not be stated of Mr.. Woodbury., that the
populace of Burlington was on the house
tops calling for his nomination; yet it
might be said that ten good men had
been discovered in the city who would
not oppose his candidacy. Neither would
Mr.. Page be put down as having never
thought of the governorship till the News
and Citizen named him, but it could be
