What Public Ownership is Doing in
Maine,

Waterville, Me-, was furnished electric
lights by private company up to two
years ago. The citizens then decided
the lights were costing too much, and
municipal plant was established. The
result has amply justified their course.
Arc lights Of 1000 candle power cost the
city but s57.33 each per year, running
all night, including $1,000 per year for
cost Of power, besides the other expenses
for care OF lights, carbons, interest, do
probation Of plant and extras; all, In
short, that the managers Of private com
panies demand shall be included aa
legitimate expenses. The true signih-
cance Of these figures can only be ap-
preciated by contrasting them with
prices paid by other cities 10 Maine to
private companies. Bath pays $50, Bar
Harbor $3.50, Portland $125, Augusta
$125, Biddeford and Saco e10S. The
lights in all except the two last named
burn all night; the average price paid 10
the private companies in the four first
named cities is $1375O. This shows
quite an advantage in favor Of municipal
lighting. In commenting upon the
above figures the EVening Telegram, Of
Providence, r. l., says: "This story does
not differ in general character from that
of similar experiments elsewhere, but 1t
is interesting because comparison ID
made only with the cost Of lights in other
cities Of the same state and where con-
ditions are similar. New Nation, Feb

passed the river and hRrbor items Of the

The senate has passed the coast de-
tense and the army appropriation bills,
making total of nearly $l5,O000O0. In
the course of the debate upon the coast
defense bill, Senator Platt, of Connecti-
cut, became quite indignant at what he
considered the niggardly allowance made
for this purpose, and proceeded to en-
tighten the country in this wise:
"This country is not bankrupt, nor is
the treasury bankrupt. 1t is the richest
country on the face Of the globe; it is the
country in best credit on the face of the
globe; it's financial affairs are in the best
condition of any country on the face Of
the earth; and it is strong enough and
rich enough, and it's treasury is in con-
dition where we may appropriate all
sums reasonably required to carry on
the great work which the people want
carried on, Of putting our coast in some
kind Of condition of defense"
hasten to quote this little burst of
utopian sentiment for fear that all your
readers may not yet have learned Of the
peaches and cream condition Of things
that is abroad in the land.
In considering the army appropriation
bill, Senator Proctor, of Vermont, offered
an amendment to increase the pay of
sergeants and first sergeants, which
would make an additional expense to
the government Of s64, 900 per year. Sem
ator Stewart strongly opposed the in
crease, which led to spirited discussion
as to the necessity of greater efficiency
in the ranks and in the offering OF our
army. The prevailing sentiment "a
vored strengthening the army at every
point and at any cost, for, as significantly
stated by Senator Palmer, "This country

will have to be defended by the walkers,
by the men who carry muskets. What
we need is to make our little army most
efficient in the rank and file, and that
the commissioned and non commissioned
officers shall be alike intelligent; but you
cannot get them without paying a res-
sonable compensation" Senator Man
derson, of Nebraska, strongly favored
the proposition, saying that "the amount
which the amendment proposes to add
is trifiinR as compared with the impor-
tant results which will come from it's
adoption" It is needless to say that the
amendment passed with but few dis
senting voices.
BY special order day has been set
apart for confederation in the house of

Gar Reed whole, and resort to his odi-

Senator Hill has inaugurated the
Cleveland financial policy by his motion

spoke for an hour upon the question,
after which his gold bug colleague from

remarked that he had listened sttentively

senate wing as soon as they heard that
Mr.. Hill had brought up the silver mat
ter. They we're for the most part plant
Wall street tools and administration
lickspittles who wanted to take a few
lessons in the art Of demolishing silver
in order to know how to proceed when
the time would come for them TO play
their little part in the house. "Cleve-
land and repeal" is their motto. Patron
age first and principle afterwards is good
enough religion for them.
The anti-option bill passed the senate
by vote of 40 to 20 in spite Of it's rank
unconstitutionslity. Senator Wolcott
made sarcastic speech against the
measure. Senator Vest strongly opposed
it, although the house Of representatives
OF his state of Missouri instructed him
to vote for the bill. He said he preferred
his own self-respect to personal or po-
litical applause, and, even though he
knew it would be the means Of RELOCATING
him to private life, he would vote against
it. This fragrant disregard Of the wishes
of his constituents may be accounted for
by the feet that the senator's time does
not expire until 1897, when, he doubtless
has faith, his legislature can be con-
structed upon altogether different plans.
The opponents Of the bill in the house
have declared their intention Of filibuster-
ing it to death il they ever get the
chance.
Our Populist congressman are disposed
to hope for good things from the two
democratic senators from Kansas and
California, and to give them the benefit
of all doubts until they betrsy the peO-
ple's trust by support Of plutocratic In,
terests. They confess they have very
little reason, from past experience, to ex-
pect anything from semi Populist asso.
ciates, but they have strong faith that
Messrs. Martin and White will prove less
pliable than hsVe others of this class.
The meetings Of the silver league and
National Reform Press Association to be
held here February %, will be largely
attended by the sblest members of the
new political school, Much good feeling
and untold profit are scheduled for the
occasion.
Beautiful samples cf Jeffersonisn sim
plicity will be exhibited at the inaugu-
ration on the 4th Of March. A world Of
extravagant conception and lavish ex-
penditure will serve to produce q
brilliancy of effect that bids fair to
throw all previous simplicity efforts in
the shade.
By vote Of 152 to 143 the house has
just refused to take up the Sherman re-
peal bill under the cloture rule. One
hundred and eight democrats voted for
consideration and 103 against, while 80
republicans favored and IS opposed the
proposition. The ten Populists voted
solidly against consideration, and with

won the day. Ringing speeches were

Denver, Col, JAN 1I.-An order reached Den.
yer late last night for twenty-four cof1ins from
Como, Col, on the Denver and South Park Divis-
ion of the Union Pacific. Early this morning
the particulars of one of the worst mining acci-
dents in this State were received. The Union
Pacific own and operate coal mines at King, four
miles from Como, where they employ 200 miners.
Yesterday afternoon a premature explosion oo-
Cured in one of the chambers where twenty-five
miners were at work. The shock iled twenty-four
of the men, only escaping. The bodies were
not recovered until midnight. The following u
complete list of the killed: John Toll, fire boss;

but was unhurt and made no delay in running 70
the surface many times stumOllHS ds Ic ran, o'eA
the fallen bodies of miners. His escape seems
miracle The explosion heard in all parts
of the mine, and the miners numbering over 100
hurried to the surface.
fhc news of the accident spread like flash
over the little town of King, and rescuing par
ties were at once organized. telephone call
for assistance was NlsO sent TO Como. Danger
was to he feared from the gas yet remaining IN
the mine but adventurous leaders braved tho
way and were promptly followed by miners and
Others The bodies were found in the chamber
where the premature shot, exploded, or in ito
immediate vicinity. Evidently the victims were
killed outright by the explosion, were knocked
senseess by the shock and asphyXiated by the
deadly gases. The bodies We're found in all
sorts of agonizing positions, in many instances
lying crossed or clasped together. The slow work
of carrying the dead to the surface was then
begun. Meantime the shaft was surrounded by
crowds of women and children, the relatives OF
the miners. Iieart.Iendng scenes followed as
body after body was brought out and laid side
by side. and the work of Identification begun.
There are about 300 people at King, and the
heads of all the families are employed in the
mines.
The accident was caused by what miners call
"a windy shot" that is, tho charge of powder
had been insuficiently tamped The result was
the instant explosion Of the gas in tn" chamber
of the mine where the men were working. The
conclusion set free and circulated the black
.twenty-four men followed. OF the victims
twenty-one Italians, one ScOtchman and
two Of them Americans About eight Of them
were married men.
