method by which the suburban rssl-
dents could receive just equlyelsnt
for the money they pay for lighting.
Alderman ODonnell submitted an
amendment that would oblige the com
paDy to light the city TO the satisfaction
sof the council for s36, 600, with no pro-
vision for additional compensation,
leaving the number Of lamps unlimited.
lne amendment MAS adopted.
Alderman Sproui moved 10 table for
one week; the Committee on Lamps To
submit map locating lights at the next
meeting. Lost.
At the request of Alderman Conger
the mayor called President Saunders TO
the chair and stated MS opinion IN the
matter.
Mayer Uhl Takes the Fioer.
He said he was confident that the re-
report Of the committee is better than
the amended report. lie favored the
tower system for three reasons: First,
1t Is the cheapest; second, Il vii. be
more satisfactory, the system has
proved eminently satisfactory in larger
cities than Grand Rapids; third, IL will
tricts a suitable return for their money.
lie said that the report submitted by
the committee was explicit and enumer-
ates the various provisions and pro-
vldes for contingencies that may arise.
He thought tnat the location OF lamps
and towers should not be considered
until the contract is made, for the rea-
son that II will complicate matters and
prolong the useless discussion.
The motion Of Alderman Tateum to
sefer back to the committee with in
structlons to report . suitable contract
at next meeting was lost.
The amendments tnat had been
tackled upon the report were then re-
considered and the report was left as
submitted by the committee.
alderman Stokes then moved the
adoption of the report. Alderman
Frost submitted an amendment adding
twenty-five more lamps to the con.
tract for $4,000. 1t WAS adopted.
The Last Resort Fails.
Then Alderman Tateum wanted bran
new towers, but the council voted hii
amendment down. The report wa:
adopted as amended by the following

The bond of the company was fixed

While have received the most
substantial encouragement from
some very wealthy gentlemen, it is
fact that no poor man has for
saken me, as far as l know; and
only one woman has written me a
discouraging letter.
l have received letters from the
most cultivated and most pious
women, and clear down to the in
mate of house of ill fame, all,
with the one exception, expressing
all kindness and good wishes for
me and my little paper.
The language of Bro. Humans,
who l imagine is a man well along
in years, is thrilling to me.
He does not read between the
lines, and find the poisonous re-
ligious doctrine with which 1 am
supposed to be laboring to infect
the land.
My life is a wonder to me.
Why 1, the only son of a very
rich farmer. my life being princi-
pally passed in the retirement OF
a country home, without an in
stance of drunkenness in my fam
lily to suggest it, should now be
absorbed, to the neglect Of business
interests, in this crusade against
the liquor traffic, while l am COM
monty spoken of as an infdel,
seems strange to me. l feel In
myself the lack of the genius and
moral courage and perseverance, to
make me "hero in the strife,
but somehow l do feel that l am
"the voice of one crying in tie
wilderness, Prepare we the way of
the Lord", and that there "cometh
one after me the latchet of whose
shoes l am un worthy to stoop
down and unloose".

Ingalls, Tells Some Truth.

The address of ex-senator John J,
ingalls, at Monona Lake on Prohibi-
ton expresses what has been said Sc
much by Prohibitionists. COMING
from a man who has been so promi-
nent in public life his words will be
taken as full of meaning when he
says: For fear Of offending the radi-
cal Prohibitionists, for fear of offend
ing the brewery interest, for fear of
offending the distillers OF whisky.
there Is no one MIN in public life to-
day that dares to tell the honest truth
about Prohibition-pot one."
This is John j. Ingalls, who was one
OF the public men referred to. 1t is
no more patent to observant men that
this is so because John j. Ingalls, has
said so, but it is well he has said it.
Supposing Blaine would free his mind
about prohibition. Would be the
nominee Of the republican party the
next election? Would Hill or Cleve-
land if they gave their views?
When men say ''liquor traffic" some
one is hit every time. There is not
another question before the people,
nor will there be for ages question
Of such magnitude. 1t makes it no
more the truth because a prominent
man says so, but it drives it closer
home. In the battle of the great
giants that will come on this ques-
ton, such other questions as raise up
strife in politics now will subside
into insignificance in comparison
