The Democrats in Congress are
looking around for some action
that they may take to redeem
their party from the curse OF their
unbroken pledges, and to which
they may point in two years hence
as an excuse for their continuing
to cumber the country with their
claims as a political entity. There
will be no monument that they
can build that will be more endur-
ing than their own party brass.

There is very little interest man
ffested at Washington either in the
message or in the proceedings in
Congress. The country evidently
considers the present Senate and
House back numbers and what
they may or may not do is OF COM
paratively little interest. The old
goes and the new takes its place.

There is every reason to hope
good results from the deliberations
Of the Irrigation conventionI now
in session in this city. 1t was in
accordance with the Fitness Of
things that this convention should
assemble here in the metropolis Of
the southwest, the only city that
gave a round Republican majority
for member Of Congress at the late
election. the capital of the section
that most needs irrigating Of all
and the one city that so demon
strated its interest in the work Of
irrigation as to impress the state
committee with the fact to a
marked degree. For the success
and future increase of the work
now undertaken by this convention
the LIGHT pledges it's support, and
nothing that the LIGHT has earn
estly advocated for the past ten
years has come to nought, not even
the success Of Republican candi
date for the National Legislature
The greetings Of this journal We're
extended to the convention on it's
coming, and the benediction there
Of will rest upon it in it's going.

BEWARE OF THE NEXT CAR.
The DOuble-Train System on Third
Avenue Is Dangerous.

The train system lately introduced on
the Third avenue cable line offers, as 1t
Is now practised, a fresh source of dan
ger to the patrons of the line and to
citizens in that thoroughfare generally.
The first danger Is from the I'M
guarded interval between the two cars.
The New York public Is not yet ac-
customed to the train system on surface
roads, and men In a hurry alighting
from the first car of the train in mo-
ton, are apt to dash behind the first
car and in front of the second car.
This danger is obviated in other cities
by closing the space with a gate, fold
ing upon one car and hooking upon the
other. .n' OPP. e.. .r B..
The conductors complain that signals
to stop and start can be given from the
rear car only with great difficulty and
much uncertainty. The method Is for
the conductor upon the first car TO re-
lay the signals to the gripman in front
If the conductor happens to be forward
in his car he cannot hear the rear
signals.
The conductors also complain that the
Company compels them to make five
round trips daily on ten-hour schedule.
They say that they lose two hours and
a half every day. and have to work this
extra time without compensation.

Gas COMPANIES SUE CHICAGO.
This Action the Result of the War
on the Trust.
Threat to Cut or Supply and Stop
Percentage Payments.
(By Associated Press.)


CHICAGO, Aug. 7.-Suits aggregating
of Chicago in the Circuit Court by the
gas companies. The plaintiffs and the
amounts sued for are as follows: Peoples
Sc, 900; Hyde Park Gas Company. SIS 900;
Lake Gas Gss co@mpany $1,000 and s Tse
prahn a Claims GS" sse for furnishes
the City Hall and street lamps. The
last appropriation for gas service was
not sufficient to meet the bills, and the
city has no funds now on hand to pay
the claims. The suits will be contested.
as 1t is claimed the companies formed a
Trust. and the city Is not obliged to pay
the combination.
These suits are the consequence OF
the fight made in the City Council on
the Gas Trust last Spring when an or
der was passed prohibiting the Comp
bs of f iss fom the any gas aa Drs
ton of 1894 In 1886 a perpetual injunc-
tion was put restraining the city from
This Injunction was, however. disre-
garded. and when early in 1894 the gas
companies presented their bills for the
$3.50, 900. the. Council ordered the Comp
tIoller not to pay the bills until the mat
ter had been Thoroughly, investigated.

of the Council, and The gas companies
threatened either to cut off the supply OF

OF their receipts to the city. called for ir
their franchise. However, the Aldermen
claimed that the 9 l-2 per cent; was all 8
bluf. They claimed that instead %
being paid into the general fund II wai
applied on the bills for gas, which were
always enough in excess of appropria
lions not only to eat up the bonus, bu
to leave a large amount to the wrong
side OF the public ledger.
In substarltiation of this claim a state
ment from the Comptrollers books was
from 1883 to 1898 inclusive, the 3h pei
cent. bonus amounted to 4O9;s5s. purlns
$40. and expended the sum OF H,676.sSi 81
while all, appropriations and N receipts
bonus added. This made an excess OF
SIS, 325. 95, of which the city owed the
amount OF $4,000. Corporation Counsel
held that the city In reality got no ben:
efits from the 3ls per cent bonus, and
the Council refused further payment OF
back bills In consequence.
