THE ELECTRIC LIGHT on RESIDENCE
STREETS.

Thu Dispatch says IF electric lights are
nuisances on Franklin street they are null
| sancea ON ALI other residence streets" and we
oni,e acree with our neighbor. They un-
| doubtedIv are nuisances on all residence
| streets. and nothing but inability to furnish
| GAS for street-lamps can possibly justify the
city authorities in imposing them upon the
| pcople of residence streets. IL IS safe TO say
that tho pecuniary value of e residence at
corner where there is a great white electric
lamp is diminished one half for use during tho
warm months Of the year. 1t is simply shame
full that tho property of unohending citizens
should be injured in this way when there Is
no demand for it, The electric lights do we'll
enough for business streets and ou;-ot-the-way
places but they are not suited 10 residence
streets.
The Dispatch says the opposition to having
them on Franklin street is not unanimous
We believe there are not three residents OF
Franklin street who do not oppose them. and
if all have not already signed a paper protest
ing against it. we believe all will. Those who
oppose them should sign at once.
The Dispatch says:
The time il near at hand when gas VIII
not be used at all for street lighting purposes.
What then? Shall the most beautiful street
OF homes that Richmond has be unlighted''
We differ with the Dispatch entirely. we
believe the time will never come when cleo
tricty will be preferred for residence streets
to gas Gas will always be manufactured Tor
those Therefore the danger that the Dispatch
fears will never arise.
THs TINES keeps its ears open and hears oil
that is going on. 1t regrets very much to hear
something OF this sort urged: that the rich
people live in their fine houses on Franklin
street and that it is but fair they should have
TO take some of the medicine forced down
the tbroats of the poor people the argument
conceding that the electric light Is q nuisance
to residences The TINES is sorry to hear
any suggestion of this sort, ignoring as it
does justice and resting on pique.
Undoubtedly many of our wealthiest citi-
zens live on Franklin street. but many very
poor people live there too. But suppose all
who live there were wealthy, would they
thereby be made public enemies Oar
wealthy citizens are as good citizens as any
we have. and they contribute their full share
to sustaining all public burdens. Are they to
be punished and toured because they have
had the good luck to accumulate money? The
suggestion is an ignoble one that TIE TINS
is most sorry to hear made. The rich people
who live on Franklin street will cheer(uly
cooperate with their poorer fellow-citizens
who live elsewhere in an effort TO remove the
electric lights from proximity TO their resi-
dences if they wish it. and the suggestion of
this being e rich mans move should never
have been made.

THE export trade in manufactures of iron
and steel for the last eight months was valued
Mt s2O, 463. 764. Comparing it with the cor
responding eight months for the last six years
there has been "a steady and regular advance
The exports now are about double what they
were six years ago.
From these facts the Philadelphia Record
deduces the following well-pointed moral:
"Why should our manufacturers DO Grip
pied with taxes on their raw material. OF cum
bered by protective interference with foreign
trade. when they are able to sell their wares
in the worlds markets more and more every
year in despite of competition ?"

MILBASK. who has been spelling for q fight

man who happened in his presence to make
some comment on the manner in which the
Fox Borrowe duel was conducted. All the
indications at the time pointed to the fact
that it was due to the influence of Milbank
that Borrowe had plucked up the courage to
face Mr.. Fox. The excitement of the scene
30 wrought upon the Imagination of this pro-
fessional English duelist that he took advan-
tage of the first opportunity which fortune
threw in his way to initiate the forced exam
pie of his late principal by having an affair

which his opponent received is likely to prove
fatal, a fate which should have been reserved

Well it is better 20 be featherhead than a

The Columbia Daily Calendar

remains the only valuable daily pad
calendar. The calendar for % is of
the same genera! design as that of
previous years, consisting of 500 leaves,
one for every day in the year, and a
calender for the entire year. The day
of the week, of the month, and Of the
year are given, and on each leaf is a
short sermon on the Gospel Of Out
doors, Health and Happiness" with
valuable hints on practical road max
inc. The leaves are SO arranged that
there will be no stub left, and each
one can be referred to at any time
during the year. The pad is upon a
metallic stand of ivory black, arranged
SO as to rest upon the desk At a con-
venient angle. The pad matter, which
in the aggregate is enough to make a
book, is all fresh and new, and is of
more pertinent value than that of any
previous calendar. The calendar is
issued by the Pope Mfg. Co., of Bos-
ton, New York, and Chicago
