Between allowing two companies TO COM
pete for the peoples patronage in the mat
ter Of furnishing electric light, and the
city undertaking to do this business itself,
the Common Council has chosen the latter
alternative.
IL there is no financial obstacle il is
Q wise conclusion. and il is in line with
the position held by this paper for years
past; but no man knows how long il
might have been talked about without
being acted on had not q new company
entered the field. The first effect of this
competition, one result Of which we sec in
the action of the Common Council, was to
reduce the cost Of lighting electric street
lamps from forty cents per night per lamp
TO nineteen anda half cents. This arrange
ment was such happy one for the city
that private consumers began TO long for
q like opportunity TO decrease their cleo
tric-light bills by one half.
The Common Council Monday night de-
MED the franchise 10 the new company be-
cause il feared that il would be more or
less difficult to Gust the companies from
the Geld when the city was ready to take
possession, and because there seemed TO
be ground for apprehension that the cut
ting Of rates would cause the city 10 lose
hundreds Of its gss-work's customers. and
what is more. establish price for electric
light below cost.
There is some force in these arguments.
II is the judgment OF this community that
the gas-works shall remain under municipal
control. and this being 30 IL follows that
the city, II il wishes TO make the gas-works
self-sustaining. cannot afford 10 allow its
best customers TO be taken away by cleo
trio companies. Under municipal control
electrie-light win be sold ct arate that viii
not ruin the gas-works. In other words
there will DO an equalization OF the two
rates; but this community viii be yerv
much disappointed indeed II the charges
for both lights are not much reduced. The
Committee on Light has repeatedly said
that &i.25 per thousand cubic feet is a
plenty TO charge for gas. II il could DO
put down 10 q. hundreds would use II for
oooking and heating purposes.
With city electric plant II viii be q
treat many years before the gas-workswill
have to BE- enlarged again. because al

PETERSBURG, Va, January 81, 1891
"Mark how plain a tale shall put you down"
To he Editor Of the Dispatch:
A long notice of some American claim
ants TO the earldom and estates of Tyrone
appears in your columns to-day, taken
from the New York Herald, in which article
II is stated that the estates were con-
fiscated and the title laid in allegiance for
100 years, which term would expire in 1891,
when the immense accumulations OF a GEN.
fury would fall into the lap of the lucky
American heir. This is quite a fairy. story
and is cousin germane TO those stories OF
fabulous and unclaimed wealth lying in
the vaults of the Bank Of England waiting
for successful claimants.
The facts are, as taken from Burke's
Peerage, that the Earldom of Tyrone has
not been in allegiance. il still EXISTS in the
person of Sir John Henry De la Poer
Beresford, MARQUIS of Waterford, Earl OF
and Viscount Tyrone in the peerage OF
Ireland, and Baron Tyrone IN the peerage
of Great Britain. The title OF Viscount
Tyrone was created in 1920 the Earldom
OF Tyrone in 1746. and the Marquis OF
Waterford in 1883.
And so endeth this fairy story of the
New York Herald Y. Y. X.

Communications are still pouring in
upon us urging the establishment OF o
southern magazine. We have no room for
them. From the number we have printed
public opinion has been clearly expressed.
We are ready to give any practical aid to
the movement, but we think there has
been enough talk. We cannot establish a
magazine any more than we can build a
