MIR. GLOvER's RESOLUTION.

If the city OF Richmond could get such
an electric plant as would fill ali her
needs constructed upon the terms pro-
vided for I'm MIR. Glover's resolution. and
she would. a. soon as II was turned over
10 her, lease 1t out TO the highest bidder
we should be cordially in favor Of adopt
ing his resolution. But while she could
no doubt get an electric plant of some
sort constructed upon the terms of that
resolution we have no idea that she could
get such an one as is needed. and. If she
got &. We have no idea that her poll
t!clans would permit it to be leased out
after she got II. 1t would afford too many
warm and comfortable berths for lazy
ward bummers who want to draw sal
airy without work for anything of that
sort TO be permitted. So that If we
should get the plant II would simply be
another engine for public Generalization
and TO promote rotten city government,
and we had much better pay more for
our electricity than TO get cheaper cleo
tr'c.ty at that price. 1t will cost far
more In the end
But this whole movement is based upon
the supposed profits that the present cleo
trio company is now making. and the con-
cusion that It is making those profits
rests upon the statement of the New
York broker and upon the affidavit Of
Mr.. Fisher that the company's gross re
ceipts were in 1896 between 10000 and
100000. But the company repudiatcs the
broker outright. and tells us what We
cautioned the Council 1t should have been
on its guard against. that the broker
was fishing for gudgeons on his own ac-
count and not as the representative of
the electric company. and Mr.. Fisher
explains that his affidavit regarding the
gross receipts for 1898 included many
things that were entirely special in their
nature. and that have not appeared and
Will not appear in any receipts subse-
quent TO 1898. He tells us that the com
pany's entire gross receipts from all
sources is only about $40 900 per aunum.
and that that includes the $4,000 paid it
by the city for lighting the streets. 1t
uoes not, ne says, make cent on ths.
Now. IL this latter statement be fact.
the whole discussion should end right
there. II the present company, which fur
nj shes the city's lights as mere adjunct
10 an elaborate plant, which is supposed
10 be making money in a number OF other
directions. is unable 10 make cent of
prof. When receiving $4,000 year. 1t is
idle 10 suppose that another concern
va ioh has no assisting business can fur
nish the same lights for 81 900 year
Discussion OF the matter should end,
therefore. until we know the exact facts
OF the case.
Let Mr.. Glovers resolution be referred.
then. to the Finance Committee. and let
II summon the. officers OF the electric
company before It TO show what PROFITS

In Spelling.

Some French statistician has turned
himself loose on the subject of wasted
words and letters. The French and Eng
fish languages are, as he proves with many
figures, especially open to criticism in this
matter, and money is lost every year by
lack Of verbal economy. The French Ian
guage contains 10 per cent of useless let
ters. There are $500 journals published
in the language, and they print 10S, O0O,
600, 600 letters every year, SO that IA, 200,
600, 900 words are printed not because they
are needed, but because they have come to
be used in the French language as it is
spoken, The writer computes that 81, $685.,
900 is the annual cost of this useless
penditure of printers ink in France alone.
OF journals in the English language
there are $4,000, and they are larger.
Twelve per cent of our printed letters are
skipped over by the tongue in pronouncing
the words, and so 81, 600, 600 is thrown
away. Useless letters, he goes on to say,
fill up a large amount Of space on paper,
and in this way is lost SIS, 600, 900 among
English speaking people and So, 900, 600
in France. The time taken up in writing
these useless letters, if estimated at SIS a
day per journalist, is worth 81, 500, 900.

The Soul.

The clairvoyants are almost unanimous
in the opinion that the soul is a bipartite
something" having two seats in the hu-
mar tabernacle-one in the heart and the
other in the brain. The s%piritualists say
that in the case of q dying person the soul
or spirit leaves its earthly envelope at the
top of the head, appearing as a vapor which
slowly ssum the form Of the person
who is expiring. This s%piritualistic por-
trait of the dying person appears to not
only be attached to the head of the person
who is fast becoming a corpse, but seems
to be also fastened in the region directly
over the heart by a fluidic ligament, which
is severed at the instant that the "ghost
man" leaves the head. These two opin-
ions, M by an eminent American spir-
i~tualist, the other by a German clairvoy-
ant, seem to strangely coincide in the
opinion that the soul has a seat in both
the brain and the heart.-St. Louis Re-
public.

Are You Making Every Point?


"The tealms are well matched"
It was a comment made on the baseball
grounds.
Two forces pitted against one another,
each the result Of a long system of rigorous
training, and, apparently, each the equal
of the other. Whichever won, the other
would not be disgraced by heavy odds.
Instead Of having perfect play of every
muscle and every faculty alive to the com
ing action, how would it seem for one
team to go on the field blindfolded and
with hands pinioned to the sides and ten
pound balls chained to the supple ankles?
Yet in the game Of life how many are
obliged to take their stand and play their
part blindfolded by ignorance, ~pinioned
by narrow environments and chained to
the great bali of i'll health or disgrace at
tached to their ankles by selfish ancestry!
And they go on struggling under the
scorching sun Of the worlds disapproval,
each hour scoring a point against them,
until at nightfall they retire from the field
vanquished and respondent, to sink into
an obscure grave.
l. Yet I believe that somewhere our limita-
tions are understood and that the record of
u winnings is set down, not according
to our visible successes, but to the strength
and continuance of our struggles.-New
York Herald.
