OUR local contemporary the World
Herald has favored the people of Ne
brasla with a meager and chestnutty
reproduction of the proceedings that at.
tended the transit of Nebraska from
territorial TO state government on or
about the lst day of March, 1867, when
Inc formal admission OF Nebraska into
the union was proclaimed by Andrew
Johnson, then president of the United
States. All these historic facts and data,
together with a complete review of the
history OF Nebraska's advent as one OF
the states of the union were published
by THE BEE on the silver anniversary
March /, 1892 But this is about as near

H1GH-pRTCED STREET. LIGHTING.

The Thomson Houston Electric Light
company has accepted the proposition of
the council and agreed to furnish thir-
ty-eight arc lights at Sl40 per annum
each to burn on an all-night schedule IN
addition to the 100 lights for which the
city is now paying Sl75 year each, and
they generously also concluded to make
the same price for the thirtv-two lights
that have been added since the first
hundred were contracted for.
The council has voted to award the
contract to the Thomson Houston COM
pany, although another company which
will be ready to supply light within
ninety days offered to furnish the same
service for 1920 per lamp This is the
price now paid by the city of Lincoln
and is supposed to leave quite margin
of profit.
Now let us see what the city will have
to pay for electric lamps during tho
coming year if the new contract is en-
tered into:
100 lamps at SlT5 year. .......... ... SIT, 500
20 lamps at Sl4O year.. $500
Iotai ................ .SS',oOu
AT $50 u year, which would be fair
price, the city would be paying $1,000
year, or margin of profit for the
electric lighting company of S16, 100 per
annum.
For S27, 300, at $50 n lamp per year,
the city would have 34l electric lamps
instead of no. In other words, we would
have double the number of lamps for the
money we are to pay, or if we were sup
piled with electric lights at reasonable
price the taxpayers of Omaha would
save $l6, 100 Il year on the l70 electric
street lamps. At $50 a lamp per year,
which is reasonable for an all-night gas
lamp service, we could add 536 lamps to
the number of gas lamps now in use for
| the $4,000 which the contract with
the Thomson-Houston company gives in
excess of a fair price for the ITO lamps.
We would like to know as matter Of
curiosity whether the councilmen who
| voted for the proposed contract and es-
| pecially the committee on gas and elec-
trio lights have ever taken the trouble
to figure out for themselves the differ
ence between the price we are paying
for electric lamps and what we would
save if the light was furnished on IL fair
basis and at price which tho council
has right to fix for franchised electric
| lighting companies under the provisions
of our charter.

CLOSE OF THE CONFERENCE

The twenty-first quadrennial session
OF the general conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal church will close today.
The conference assembled May and
was expected to remain in session until
the end of the month, but the vigor
with which business has been pushed
and the decision not to elect any more
bishops at this time have enabled it to
reach an earlier adjournment than had
has been accomplished, and while some
matters presented to the conference will
not be acted upon, the record made will
compare favorably with that OF any pre-
cediag conference in the Importance of
the action taken.
This conference will be memorable in
the history OF the church for several
the separate seating of lay delegates.
The adoption OF the rule separating the
ministerial and lay delegates was not
strictly observed in this conference, but
it is to be presumed that 1t will be in
future. Another important action of
the conference was the decision not to
receive any more government money for
the support OF Indian mission schools, it
being held that the plan of government
assistance OF religious teaching among
the Indians is contrary to the spirit OF
our institutions, which requires the alb
solute divorcement of church and state.
Without proposing in this connection
any general review OF the proceedings,
il may be noted that among the more
interesting results OF the deliberations
of the conference wero the adoption by
unanimous vote of the report con-
demniug the unjust treatment OF the

aggregate capital of 5000, 100000, so
that the total of legally repodiated
debt amounted to S74l 100000. The
debts that we're settled without the
intervention OF the law were esti-
mated to be equal to those legally
discharged, so that the total losses ag-
gregated nearly $500, ,00O,0o0 o." This
chapter of American wildcat financier-
ing teaches its own lesson.

In is now a settled fact that the work
of paving our streets will not begin be-
fore the LIST of August, just seven months
after the new city government was in
augurated. This experience would
scarcely justify the holding OF city cleo

cuse for the delay of public improve
ments until midsummer when our city
elections were held in April, but it does
seem incomprehensible why all the time
between January and June has been
wasted in preliminaries, and finally all

President Harrison has been fully abreast
