THE LIGHT QUESTION.
"Index" Has More to Say Upon the
Illuminating Power.

The suggestion made in this column
the other day that the borough should
own an electric light plant has certainly
touched popular chord among the
readers of the HERALD. | find the senti-
ment to be almost unanimous In its favor,
and it would only require some one to
make move in pushing the project to
procure the legal endorsement of the |
citizens of the town. When you treat |
upon a subject that affects mans pocket |
book, you will receive his undivided at |
tention. That is the case with the light
question-it affects every householder, by
a reduced rate for illuminating power.
There is no denying the fact that the
citizens in general would be greatly
benefited, but there are certain number
of residents of the town whose interests
might, and undoubtedly would, be
sacrificed by the project. l refer to the
stockholders of the electric light com
panies, most of whom are among the
largest Taxpayers in the town. By their
enterprise they have furnished Shenen-
doah with the best electric light in the
county, and brought the town from the
"candle-dip'' to the latest system of illum-
ination, and for this they are to be coms
| mended in strong terms Others had the
same opportunity to invest their money,
but lacking the necessary spirit OF
public enterprise, or through fear OF
financial loss, they failed to grasp the
opportunity. For the men who are at
the head of these companies l have not1:
ing but the highest praise. What W.
written on this subject we 'ne S'ooA noiu
| r,oei+-- ~ r,.oo-, uesire to Tighten
The burdens of the already highly.taxed
residents of the town, and at the same
time increase materially the revenues of
the borough. This is a plain statement
of my motives, and l make them public
In order that those of our citizens who
have stock in these companies may not
limpugn them.
If the movement ever assumes proper
shape l should certainly favor the bor-
ough purchasing the present plants at
reasonable figure. The stockholders,
am positive, would be willing to sell, as l
am Informed by several that their plants
are not paying. This statement of course,
must be taken with a grain of salt"
The machinery used at electric stations
can be bought to-day at almost fifty per
cent less than what the present plants
cost, and this may be one reason why the
dividends are not as great as the local in.
vestors anticipated
The people of Tamaqua will have their
own electric light plant, the same as they
do their water works. The vote on the
question at the approaching election will
be favorable. Tamaqua may be a slow
town, in great many respects, but the
people certainly have more advanced
Ideas on certain public enterprises than
those OF many boasted wide-awake towns.
Ashland is another neighboring town that
is seriously thinking of procuring an
electric system controlled by the borough

Historical Period.
No one can deny that Mr.. Blaine was
an extraordinary man, or fail to recog-
nize as almost unparalleled the popu-
larity and influence that fell to his lot.
In nearly all respects he was a consum-
mate master of political strategy and
tactics. while his magnetic temperament
and the charm of his presence gave him
a multitude of ardent personal friends
and devoted political admirers. Never
theless, my personal recollections of Mr..
Blaine are not of the most pleasant
character. During the progress Of the
Johnson impeachment trial he seemed to
be disposed to conservatism, but at its
close proved relentlessly bitter toward
those. h had caused its defeat. 1t
President all bills last passed and last
acted upon by the Senate. During the
tendency of the Impeachment all bills
coming to me for presentation to the
President were, for obvious reasons, re-
tanned unit the end of the trial. At its

Specials to the jersey Citu Ne,rs.

CAMDEN, Oct. 8, 1ss5.-Bessie Scott, four
years, of No. 227 Mechanic street, was ad.
mitted to Cooper Hospital last night suffer
ing from burns. The physicians declared
that she would die from the injuries.
Little Bessie was playing on the street
with some companions when two boys start
ed a bonfire from waste paper. Her dress
came in contact with a piece of burning
paper. Not realizing her danger she en-
deayored to put out the small flame, but in
a second or two the entire dress was ablaze.
She ran screaming to her mother when a
neighbor threw her apron over her and ex-
tinguished the flames.
Examination showed that her body, arms,
hands and face were burned horribly.
