OFFICE OF THE MAYOR.
CITY OF SUPERIOR, Wis,
Jan, 20 1891. )
To the Common Council of the City of
Superior:
Gentlemeh-I desire to call your at
tention to the fact that we are main
tanning and paying for two systems of
light in the city, being gas and electric.
The electric lgiht is extensively used,
AID Is certainly preferable for street
lighting.
1t seems to me, however, that where
electric lights are placed, it is unneces-
sary and of no utility whatever to have
a gas light in close proximity thereto,
| would recommend that special com
mittee of the council be appointed to
confer and hold conference with the
Water, Light and Power company,
and said committee be instructed to
negotiate with said company looking to
the substitution of the electric for the
gas light, in all cases, and the entire
abandonment Of gas light on our
streets.
And that said committee, if such ar
rangement can be made with said
company, be empowered to bring in a
report changing, modifying or amend
ing the ordinance or franchise of the
gas company, which may be necessary
to carry out the foregoing rccommen-
dation
Very respectfully,
[Sigacdl MARTIN PArTIsoN,

Another View.

W. f. Mates, of the West End does
not agree with Mr.. Bdrdon and some
others about how long our bonds
should run. In communication to
the Telegram he says:
Il have observed that Mr.. Blrdon
and other citizens have expressed the
opinion that the clty's park bonds
should be issued for a term of fifty in
stead OF twenty years, for the purpose
OF distributing the burden Of taxation
over the longer period. In taking this
view of the case | think the gentlemen
have overlooked the fact that a bonded
issue may be met at maturity by a
funding issue properly devised and
authorized by Law for that purpose. in
my judgement II isaltogether rro5abla
that in less than twenty years from
date the city of Superior Will borrow
money at 4 Per cent. as easily as she
now does al s per cent, and | should
therefore consider it bad fnancierinT

CANNOT PROFIT BY MURDER.

CANNOT PROFIT BY MURDER.
What bade fair to become a rather ex-
tensive industry has received setback
by two court decisions which have Just
been made, one in England and one in
New York. In the English case Mrs.
Maybrick poisoned her beloved husband.
At least jury of her peers said she did,
and she will stay in prison for life on
account of this judgment unless sympa-
thizing friends manage to get her par
doned and set free her loveliness and
grace. The beloved Maybrick had an
insurance on his life when he died, and
Mrs. Maybrick thought she might as we'll
have the money. The insurance company
refused to pay it, and the court upheld
it, the idea being that a woman
wasn't entitled to pay for poisoning
her beloved husband. In the New
York case a boy of sixteen, knowing that
his grandfather had made a will in his
favor, killed the old man to get possession
of the property. He was convicted of
murder in the second degree and sent to
the State reformatory. Nevertheless
claim to the property under the will was
prosecuted in his behalf. The lower
courts and two judges of the court of
appeals maintained that the boy was
entitled to it. But the majority of the
latter tribunal decided otherwise "To
hold" said Judge Earl, "that legal title
to property may be acquired by murder
would be a reproach to the jurisprudence
of our State and an offense against public
policy"
We should say 80. Property is often
acquired in dubious ways, but the line
ought to be drawn at murder

report dealing with the manufacture of
salt in central China. Holes about six
inches in diameter are bored in the rock
by means of a primitive form of iron
drill, and sometimes a period of forty
years elapses before the covered brine Is
reached, SO that the work is carried on
from one generation to another. During
this time the boring, as may be imagined,
goes down to an immense depth. When
brine is found it is drawn up in bamboo
tubes by a rope working over a large drum
turned by bullocks. The brine is evapor-
ated in iron caldrons, the heat being sup
piled by natural gas, which is generally
found in the vicinity of the salt wells.
Consuming investment in what are called
'sthe industrials" Matthew Marshall makes
note of the fact that when, six or seven
years ago, the Standard Oil certificates to
the amount of so, ,OO0,0 900 were offered on
the market, they brought only 80 cents on
the dollar, although they were paying 10
per cent. per annum, and those who
bought them at that price did SO with con-
siderable hesitation. Since then 500, ,000,-
900 of water has been added to the $70,
600, 900 original capital without reducing
the dividend rate, and the whole $50, ,000,
900 is now selling at somewhere between
100 and 10. This is good for bait but
where one of the new enterprises turns
out to be anywhere near as profitable as
the Standard Oil ten will prove to be prac-
tically worthless.

THE SEASON In LONDON.
The Englishman Porsakes the Coun-
try from May TO August.


From the ArgonAuf-l
of all times at which no one would wish.
from choice, to be in London, of all times
at which no one would desire to be away
from the country, is from May to August
yet then is the London season. The truth
is, no one would stand ii but Engiishmen
the people of no other nation under the
sun would content TO have their seasons Of
the year turned topsy turvy, or to go on
with the practice, if they suffered it once.
No place on the earth's surface Is more
beautiful, more charming, more attractive.
than the country in England in summer.
But the people who own the ideal country
houses and whose estates embrace all the
advantages and concomitants of rural per-
fection, go away then. There are two rea-
sons always given why the London season
is In summer-that is to say, spring and
summer. One is, that Parliament is in ses-
sion then, and the other Is, that fox hunt
ing takes place in winter The slack at
tendance in town whenever there is an
autumn sitting of the lords and commons
justifies one in the belief that the latter
reason is the true one.
The aristocrscy (snd thus who copy It'd
would sooner than not hunt foxes see
fowerless beds, leafiess trees norsss like
lawns, bare hedges and smell damp from
the walls and smoke from their own fires.
1t is curious taste, yet the London season
proves its existence. Why not have the
season begin, say. in Augusti Sensible
enough; why notE" you will think. But
suggest it to an Englishman-I mean an
English gentleman who lives at home in
England. my dear fellow" he will ex-
claim, and hold up his hands; fancy Civ

yourself the 18th in London. Imagine be-
ing there,"
