Lighting tho Streets.


Tho coat OF lighting the streets Of
Wheeling with electric light ia $4,000
ayear. II tho gas board is to be self
sustaining this money must come from
gas consumption and the sale OF the
by-products. The receipts from these
sources have not been sufficient nor Is
Improbable that they will be.
The streets are lighted for the com.
mon protection, convenience and salts.
faction. They serve tho purpose OF
those who use lamps and incandescent
lights as Of those who use gas. But the
gas board derives no revenue from those
who do not use its gas. The situation
forces thecouclusion that the equitable
way is also the busiuesa.like way.
The streets should BIO lighted BY
tax. This would require an increase in
the tax rate, but il the gas board cannot
light the streets and make ends meet
taxation will have to be rosor.ed to in
the end. To increase tho tax rate the
legislature would have to DO asked to
pass au enabling law, 70, the rate is
now up to tho limit.
1t would be nearly two years before
this authority could DO had, but unless
there shall be very considerable i'm
provement in the gas boards business
this il what will have to be done.

Z The Nashville American remarks tina,
"the Democrats ask nothing softer than
another whirl at Mckinley" They
have not had their first whrl at him,
and therefore it is Mt least premature to
suggest that he would DO soft thing"
for them il no wero to DO the Republic
can nominee for the presidency.
There is no reason to suppose that tho
people OF this country will again fall in
lovo with free trade. They did that bc-
fore they made tho acquaintance Of tho
hideous thing. Now that thoy know
better what it is they arc determined to
kick it out at the first opportunity.
We bog 20 assure all whom it may
concern that Mckinley as the Ropubli.
can nominee for tho presidency would
be worthy Of all the Democratic steel in
the arsenal. lie would bear himself
CALAMITY through that fight as i,e hus
through all others. and attor it all no
would mako thoroughly good presi-
dent.
II the Republican party gives Mckin-
Icy tho nomination it will give him such
support as will do tho rest"

A COMMITTEES OF the New York legis-
lature has got to work on the uncertain
gas meter. 1t drew out OF an inspector
that in addition to his public services
he acts as agent tor certain meter manu-
facturers. This part OF the testimony
give the impression that the manufac-
turers OF meters have their own good
reasons for wishingt to stand we'll with
the men who inspect their meters.
The same witness testified also that
no experts can tell how q gas meter will
work. 1.-THE quality of the gas changes
its working" he said. This phonome-
non has been noticed. The poorer the
cas- ia the more the meteor registers.
Consumers OF gas, artificial and nat
ural, would feel better about paying
their gas bills if they had more conf
dence in the integrity o. the meter.
As mea,urer OF quantity the mot or
does not bear good name. 1t has been
known to register at gallop whom no
case was being used. What the world
wants is meter above reproach.

Senator Whitaker aud tho Auditor.
State Senator Whitaker comes back
at Auditor Johnson with a few pcrti :
mont remarks. lilo writes In bettor
temper than Mr.. johnson did, and this
gives him an advantage. He has a fur.
thor advantage by reason Of tho fact
that tho auditor re,onts any comment
on tho way OF doing things in his office.
Since he is a public officer no should
know that Senator Whitaker had n
right to all the information he sought
in that quarter. lIe would hayo had
this right as u private citizen. Being

teo no had immediate occasion to

OF gratifying mere curiosity.

auditor, but il he will take it kindly We
would like to suggost that it is mis-.
