is, for st. Paul, a present question
involving present solution and re-
quiring present action.
Aside from other considerat tions,
of which there are many making
against municipal ownership Of the
plant in this city, at present, one is
recognized as decisive: The delay
which must necessarily ensue in the
installation of the plant, while the
matter of proper street lighting is
one of immediate need. In this way,
attention has been drawn off the eIn-
available and concentrated on the
available and practicable features of
the question; and present supplies in
the hands of private corporations
and individuals have been and are
being canvassed with a view to as
certain whether or not these, or any
of them, are competent and adapted
to the efficient and satisfactory light
ing by electricity of the streets of
this city.
In taking account of the capacity
of the various plants now in st. Paul,
less attention seems to have been
given to what is commonly known
as the storage system" as an avail
able auxiliary agent in this connec-
tion than it, perhaps, deserves. This
may be due, in part, to some vague
ness of idea among citizens gener-
ally as to what that system really
is, and to the further fact that it
has thus far been little employed
here, there being, as far as 1 am in
formed, but one plant with storage
battery attachment in this city-that
in the Great Nirthern general office
building. A brief explanation of the
storage battery, it's connection with
the question of municipal lighting
and it's practical application will be
of interest and should not be with
out profit.
There is a general misconception,
owing to misnomer, that the storage
battery is one in which electricity
itself is stored. Such is not the case,
however, the battery being purely
chemical. It's construction, briefly
stated, consists of a series of pre-
pared lead plates immersed in water
which has been acidulated with sui
phuric acid, all enclosed in a box or
cell; a series of such cells constitut-
ing battery. Through the contents
of these cells current of electricity
is passed, chemical decomposition

on the Hudson river just above Troy.
All over the country street car COM
panies are putting electric heaters into
their cars. The apparatus consists of
coils of wires beneath the seats, which
are connected with the trolley wire
overhead, or with the wire cable in the
conduit below. Thus, the vehicle is
heated, lighted and propelled by the
same electrical energy. Furthermore,
the heat is uniform throughout the
car, instead Of being uncomfortably
fierce about a stove, and scarcely per-
ceptible near the ends of the convey
ance.
Such heaters are now in successful
operation on about 1000 cars belonging
to street railways in seventy-four cities
and and towns in the United States and
Canada. One advantage possessed by
them is that they take up no space;
another is that they require almost no

Paul city railway company be invit-
ed to bid for the municipal lighting
contract for this city, Those with
whom 1 have talked on the sub
ject give many urgent and appar-
emily we'll grounded reasons why
that company is in position to do
the work in a satisfactory manner.
1t is pointed out that the thing to be
avoided is inadequacy and incom-
potency, while economy of expendi-
ture should be we'll considered. The
! city railway company has by far
| the largest plant in the city; it is
centrally located; it is capable of en-
! Iargement and addition whenever
necessary; it has at it's command at
the present time large amount of
uneXpended power which could be
utilized; during a large part of the
| day traffic is light, and the capacity
/ of the plant lightly taxed; these
hours could be used in charging
series of storage batteries to be en-
| polyed in street lighting the follow
/ ing night; the plant is almost con-
tinually in operation to some extent
now; persons in charge are of neces-
sity competent and thorough in their
work. These are some of the argu-
ments urged in behalf of letting the
contract Of lighting the streets of st.
Paul by electricity to the city rail-
| way company. In view of what has
been shown above in regard to the
availability of the storage battery
as an electric lighting agent, the plan
seems a very feasible one; it merits,
at the least, careful consideration.
The citizens of st. Paul are re-
solved upon having thorough and
adequate system of municipal illum-
ination. They are both tired and
timorous of stumbling along streets
shrouded in gloom. They want light.

Problem Which the Twin City

The consideration and discussion Of
the problem of street lighting in this
city, which has been maintained
with widespread interest for several
weeks, seems to have developed a
very general conviction that what
ever might or may be the advantages
to a municipality owning and oper-
ating it's street-lighting plant under
certain conditions, those conditions do
not now exist here, or, if they do in
a certain measure, they are overrld-
den by insurmountable objection. 1t

food. The electric broiler does it's
work without singeing the food,
smoking it or burning it. The es-
Gaping juices are collected, ,unspoiled,
in a pan beneath, so that the cook
can readily baste the meat.
Electric stoves are made in port
able shapes, like gas stoves. Urns
for heating water are sold for use in
hotels, restaurants, barber shops and
other places where hot water is con-
stantly required. An ordinary elec-
trio light wire supplies the caloric.
The electric sad-iron is a boon alike
to the laundress and the housewife.
The current supplied by the wire
keeps it at constant temperature,
and thus no time is lost in changing
and reheating irons. One iron may
be used continuously, and no coal or
gas stove is required. The iron never
becomes overheated; it always re-
mains clean and bright, and does not
require wiping to prevent the soil
ing of the fabric.
Another blessing for the women
is the electric curling tongs. They
can be attached at moments no
tice to an electric light wire, and
are heated almost instantly. They
remain at a constant temperature
so long as required, or until the con-
nection is cut off. All that is neces-
sary in the employment of this contri-
vance is to remove the incandescent
lamp from its socket, attach the cord
of the iron to the socket in place of
the lamp, and turn on the current.
This simple and valuable device, so
useful nowadays when fashion
obliges nearly every woman to use
curling-tongs on her hair, costs only
81.
The time is destined to arrive before
long when houses will be warmed
in winter by electricity. What the
electric lamp is to artificial lighting,
as furnished by the candle, oil or
gas, the electric heater is to artificial
heating. But the problem in this
case is very different from that of
electric cooking. For the latter pur-
pose the object aimed at is to pro-
vide an apparatus that will localize
the heat as much as possible, confin-
ing it to the spot and not diffusing it
through the surrounding air any
more than can be helped. On the
other hand, the ideal heater for
warming a dwelling or other build
ing would be itself cool, the heat
given off by it being diffused as much
as possible.
Of course, this is scarcely practical

to warm the air only in it's immedi-
ate neighborhood. Stoves and radiat-

tine CAMPAIGN wATCNw0RDS

The decision of the U. 8. supreme court
declaring unconstitutional the income
tax act of congress will introduce another
important factor into the campaign of
1896, and will serve to characterize it,
taken in connection with the struggle for
the free coinage OF silver on equal terms
with gold and the battle of the people
against trusts and corporate power, as the
most memorable political contest the
Democratic party has participated in
since the Lincoln Douglass campaign.
This trio OF national evils--tax dodg-
ing, gold monetallism and the growing
power of the trusts-will over-shadow all
other questions in the coming contest.
Even the work of tariff reform will be
temporarily laid aside to take up these
now more essential issues.
That the Democratic party as il is or
gsnized and at work In the south and
west to-day will DO in the thick of the
fight to remedy these evils goes without
saying.
The cause of the masses, the greatest
good to the greatest number, has ever
been the bulwark of true Democracy; the

history and traditions of the party ex-
emplifies this fact.
These are the live questions of the day.
Their introduction into national affairs
at this time seems almost providential,
for they involve subjects so near and
dear to the average Democratic heart that
they can not but have vivifying effect
upon the party as whole; break down
all factional barriers, and arouse it from
that lethargic state into which it has been
plunged for time by unwise leadership,
political trickery and disloyalty to the
party's first fundamental principles. As
a result, under the new order of things
and with these great questions at hand to
demand solution, the Democratic party
should now present united front to the
common enemy and go forward to do
battle in its good cause more determined
than ever to succeed. The battle ia on.
Ours is the cause of the people; and it is
inst. Let every Democrat do his duty.

Democratic View Of a Democrat.


Secretary Carlisle's speech at Conving.
ton last night was able in argument and
interesting in recital of historical facts,
but the effect will not be to assist the
Democratic party in forming solidly on
currency policy.
"The only way" said he, "to secure the
use of both metals is to make one OF
them the standard of value, and so limit
the coinage of the other that the govern
ment may maintain their exchangeabil-
ity" He is, he added, in favor of main
tanning the existing standard of value.
Gold is the existing standard of value
and the Democratic party is not in favor
of the standard as it exists. The party
is in favor of silver money which will
protect its own value and not be de-
pendent upon the protection of such gold
as the government which issues it may
be able to command.
Free coinage of gold and silver will be
the currency platform of the next Demo-
cratic national convention.
Gold is not abundant enough to be the
sole standard of value. 1t is more abund-
ant than it was in 1850, but since that
time the European nations have piled
up public debts which compel them to
collect great sums of gold. Military and
naval ex penses have multiplied so that
war treasures of gold are necessary
Municipal debts all over the world have
vastly increased. Fixed Investments in
railroads and other enterprises have
loaded the stock and bond markets. Gold
is too scarce to do all this work of fur
nishing war funds and debt reserves for
the world. Silver must be called in as
money of full value and firal redemption
to aid in maintaining the currencies and
debts, or debt payment will sooner or
later become almost or quite impos-
sible.
The Democratic party will declare for
free silver coinage and will nominate for
the presidency western man who be-
lieves in free coinage.
| Mr.. Carlisle may represent an element
of his party, but he does not speak for
the controlling element. With the great
majority of Democrats the question is
not between gold standard and free
coinage of silver. That question they
have settled. The only doubt in the
Democrat mind Is whether the United
Statea, having abandoned IN company
with other nations himetallic coinage
can safely restore the old ratio without
the cooperation of other nations. Some
Democrats believe and all hope that the
old ratio can be restored without impair
ing the obligation of contracts. Others
believe that this government should fix
time for opening its mints to free coin,
age Of silver, and should in the meantime
Investigate carefully the conditions which
affects the values of the metals.
But, In one form or the other, free
coinage of silver Is the demand of the
Democracy. The worst mistake the
Cleveland administration has made
has laid in it's reluctance to concede any
thing TO the Democratic feeling in favor
of silver. Mr.. Carlisle is repeating the
mistake.--St. Louis Republic.

was sentenced to five years of imprison-

of $4,000 per year. Very few men can
clear this much, in the length of time, by
