If the company is willing to take fran
chise with proper restrictions, and so
guarded that the city will not be bound
hand and foot no matter what the devel-
opments of science and the progress of
discovery, by all means it should be
granted, and the commercial value that all
such grants have may be waived.
What the City Trustees now ought to do
is to declare all bids of, postpone the let
ting of the contract for lighting the streets
until the new company proves its good
faith by putting up its plant, and when
the bidders are thus placed on par, and
in a condition to perform what they prom
Use, let the contract be awarded to the lowest
bidder That will be business wisdom, and
no one can or will object to it. If the old
corporations cannot then compete with the
newcomer, let them go to the wall.
But when this new step is made, and
which it is to be hoped the Trustees will
not hesitate to take, though it involves 4
retracing of the ground, let it be specified
that the city does not surrender the right
that other cities are now exercising to re-
quire change to such new system of con-
dueting electrical currents as wisdom, ex-
perience and the growth of the city shall
determine to be for the best interests of
the people; that the corporation be re-
quired to repair all streets it disturbs E;
that it shall be bound to furnish all people
who apply for its product that it shall
not stretch its wires irrespective of the
safety of the fire alarm system, and in de-
fance of the officials of that department
of the city government nor construct its
subways except under supervision of the
city authorities and that if the city shall
desire to purchase the plant and attach
ments of the corporation at any time when
the latter resolves to sell out, rate of pur-
chase proportioned to the original cost
shall be specified, and the matter not be
left as 1t now is, that the city shall be a
preferred purchaser at whatever figure the
corporation may see fit to name.
All the REcoRD-UNIo desires is that
common business principles shall be OBJ
served in this whole matter; that the city
shall grant no franchises that are not
guarded by proper restrictions, and that
no right shall be voted away beyond posi-
bility of recall, that will erect within the
city power that can defy its authority,
or that will prevent the people from avail
ing of the developments of the future in
electrical science.

ON THE MOUNTAINS
Heavy Deposits of snow-Hundreds o
ShoveIers Kept Busy.

Heavy Deposits of Snow-Hundreds OF
Shovelers Kept Busy.
The passenger depot presented an ami
mated appearance yesterday morning. One
hundred men we're being engaged to go to
the mountains and shovel snow, and large
numbers gathered around the special train
which stood on the side track, each one
eager for employment. Those who had
blankets of their own were generally the
favored ones, and it was not long before the
required hundred were obtained. They
were placed in cars which were attached to
the Colfax local and taken to that place
From there special engine took them up
the road as far as Blue Canyon, Alta and
Emigrant Gap. This makes in all over COG
men fighting the snow, about 400 of whom
are shovelers.
1t commenced showing in the mountains
early yesterday morning and it was snow
ing SIS far down as Colfax.
The two overland trains were late in ar
irving here. The delay was not caused by
the snow, but by belated trains on the
Union Pacific road. The Central Pacific
line over the mountains was clear yester
day, but another gang of men was sent uI
from here last evening.
The new pillow is at work steadily on the
"hill,' and another of the same kind is or
its way here from the East.
There was IA feet of snow at the Summit
yesterday. 10 feet at Cisco and Emigian
Gap, and three feet as low down the mount
ain as Gold Run. From Colfax down rair
was falling.
Along the Oregon line snow was agair
falling yesterday in the Siskiyou mount
aims and rain in the valley.
RAINFALL AND TEMPERATURE.
The rainfall yesterday by the Sigma
Service reports was rs Of an inch, making
for this season 17.77 inches, as against 9.4t
! inches to an equal date last year.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Our cotemporary, the Bee, entered upon
its sixty-seventh volume yesterday. Dur
ing the thirty-four years of its publication
it has probably never been in a more pros
porous condition, and certainly never in a
position to do better newspaper work.
There is no better evening newspaper on
the Coast and it is the equal of many of
the morning journals.

Condition Of Georgtn Farmers.

At no other time since the war,
says the Savannah News, have he
farmers of Georgia been in as good
financial condition as they are now.
Fewer of them are harrassed by
mortgages and more of them are
prepared to conduct their business
on cash basis. There is a very
gratifying increase over past years
in the amountof farm produce on
hand. Hon. ]. T. Henderson, COM
missioner of agriculture, gave the
other day a comparative statement
Of farm products on hand April 1
1887, and the same dote in 1888.
The amount m 1887 was 1851 480,
IN 1888 it was $500, 137, or nearly
double. The exact figures shows
ing the condition of the farmers in
this respect at the present time
cannot be obtained, but is doubt
iess true that the statement on
april / next will be highly tatis-
factory, as 1889 was an excellent
crep year in Georgia. The yield
Of eOru was magnificent, that OF
Gotten was good, and small grain
did very well. Besides, the side
crops which were planted were
probably more numerous and ex>
tcnsive than even before, and an
increasing number of stock, dairy
aId truck farms added to the pros
perity of the agricultural pOpulaN
ton. A few more years like 1883
would place the Georgia farmers
upon a most excellent footing.
The fact is that agriculture in
Georgia is beginning to mean some
thing more than the raising of cot
ton. There must be leading crops
adapted to the soil and climate, il
all sections, and in Georgia the
great money crop is and must con,
tInue to be cotton. hut the farmer!
vi uhts oIaJe nave learned from ex
Perience that it is poor policy tC
pay cotton money for what they
might raise at home, and many o
them are abandoning that policy a
rapidly as possible. This fact ac-
counts in large measure for thei
increased prosperity, and it is on
Of the most encouraging signs @
the times that the farmers alliance
are urging members to Give T.

This Distinguished Gentleman for
Governor.


The following article, over the
signature of MANY Voters" APP
pearcd in a recent issue of the
Albany News. We endorse all
that is said of Major Wooten:
Several journals can be quoted
from that are urging the claims of
Southwest Georgia to a favorable
consideration for gubernatorial
honOrs.
"Many will trrn instinct We v
to the candidacy of an estimable
fellow>citizen who is, in every es-
scntial, eminently qualified to ill
with distinction to himself, and
honor to the state, the duties of
the position in question. Refer
ence. ofcourse, is bad to the Hon.
G. B. Wooten, OF Calhoun county.
HIS immediate constituency, and
for that matter the people of the
entire state, viii not soon forget
the manly and eloquent stand Ia
ken by Colonel Wooten while State
Senator in refusing to see large
sum of money appropriated in poy-
ment for betterments upon the
state road.
'In the discussion of the guess
ticn, Colonel Wooten predicated
his argument upon the non>exist,
ence of any agreement in The orr .S
inal lease of the road, providing
any subsequent expenditure of the
public funds.
"His action in such exigency,
standing almost singly and alone
against a heavy pressure brought
to bear il effecting an adverse pur.
pose, entities him to the respect
and gratlc>3e of every clear head
ed taxpayer in the state.
"Should Southwest Georgia re-
ccive a loug-merited recognition
before nominating convention,
there is no name that could be
placed before such a body more
eminently worthy of such distinc-
ton than that OF the Hon. G. b.
