Jamestown and Its Lights.


jamestown is now wrestling with the
same problem which engaged Bismarck's
attention some time ago, the electric
light company there having asked for a
twenty-year franchise. It provides that
the company shall not charge for city
purposes at a rate to exceed S96 each for
1000 candle power arc lights, the city. to
take at least twelve lights. The prices
charged inhabitants may be 81 per month
to 10 p. NJ; s1.25 to IL midnight, and
$3.50 all night, and so cents for private
residences for 16 candle power; double
the above rates for 80 candle power in
candescent. Additional lights ordered
by the city at the same rate per year;
that the company shall not be required
to light the outskirts of the city at a
loss, where the making of such ex-
tensions and operating the SAM will be
at a loss to either the city or company"
aud that the company shall maintain the
Brush system of arc and Edison system
of incandescent, or equally good systems.
The Alert says the general sentiment
of the citizens OF the proposed electric
light franchise asked for by the electric
light company, is Enthusiastically against
the council granting it.

A COLD MONOPOLY
The acknowledgement Syndi-
cate Evidently Has a Corner
on yellow Metal.
BUYING BULLION OF SHELTERS
A Denial That the Facts in the
Case Would Appear to
Contradict.

DENVER, May 8.-The rumor that q
syndicate is buying up gold in Colorado
is denied by a smelterman.
''The report is erroneous said ex-
Governor Grant of the Omaha and
Grant smelter. We are shipping our
bullion to New York and have been do
ing so for a month or more, as we get
65c per 81, 900 on gold bars in New York
market"
MI. GRAFT expressed himself strongly
of the opinion that there is no gold
syndicate operating in the West. The
low express rates are pointed out as one
Of the agencies that have caused the re.
ceipts Of the Denver mint to fall off 80
per cent within the last 10 days.
Silver Goes to San Francisco.
A well informed express agent estim.
ated that 50 per cent of the silver pro-
duced in Colorado is going to San Fran
stoned by the war between China and
Japan. The San Francisco quotations
have ruled one-quarter to two-thirds of
a cent more than New York quotations
for three or four months past. The ex-
press rates have been practically cut in
two by the hard times and close compe-
titfon in business. One express COM
pany in eight days recently shipped
5000, 900 in bars out of Denver. The
shipment all came from n smelter.
Opinion of Treasury Officials.
A special to The News from. Wash
ington, however, says that the treasury
authorities admit that the receipts of
gold at the mints have sensibly dimin-
ished ever since contract for the pur.
chase Of gold bonds was awarded to the
Belmo ont Morgan syndicate, and adds,
another feature Of this affair lies in the
fact that the production Of gold in the
United States has lately increased t o
such an extent as to make it an object
for this foreign syndicate to corner or
control the gold market, and inasmuch
as the Belmont Morgan syndicate OBJ
tainedn not only privileges of purchasing
these bonds at a very low figure, but a
monopoly of all bonds to be issued,
whether now or next October, at the
same low rate, it is clear that from the
high price they obtain on the sale of
the bonds abroad, they
Can Afford to Pay a Premium
rate for gold bullion over and above the
rate fixed at the mint. This way the
syndicate obtained practically a monop-
oily of the gold production Of the United
States and especially the product in
Colorado, where the increase in gold
production has been large within the
last year or two. The treasury seems
to be entirely in the hands Of the
syndicate. It must have gold to
maintain the reserve, even if it practi-
cally cripples the purchasing operations
Of the mint. The syndicate would much
prefer to have gold in the shape Of
bullion than in coin, to the end that it
can be shipped abroad if necessary
without loss from abrasion, as fire.

Supreme Court,

In supreme court Wednesday, the case
of Patch vs.. the Northern Pacific rail-
road company was on hearing. This is
a case which has been on trial several
times. It arises out of the destruction
of a house and barn owned by Patch in
New Rockford, from flames alleged to
have been set by an engine Of the North
ern Pacific. Patch sued and got judg-
ment for something over $1,000 in the
district court. A new trial was granted,
on application OF the railroad company,
and it is from the order granting a new
trial that the appeal is taken. s. l..
Glaspell argued the case for the appel
liant and Attorney Watson presented the
case on behalf OF the road.

A BOSTON EXAMPLE.

AS widespread belief prevails in this
country that the American people prefer
foreign goods to those of American make
and viii never buy the home product as
long as it is possible TO get anything that
comes from abroad, it is pleasing to note
every evidence Of a contrary tendency.
Such evidence has been recently afforded
by the experience of Boston firm and is
important enough to merit the attention of
merchants all over the Union.
According TO the story as told by the
Commercial Bulletin, the belief that con-
sumers prefer foreign goods has been so
strong in Boston that merchant tailors
have been obliged to mark Hockanum
goods as "our latest importations from
England, " and dry-goods merchants label
Pacific mills dress goods "Haute Nou-
veaute de Paris" and with steady faces get
five cents yard profit on fancy Barnaby
ginghams from foolish women who want
the genuine imported Scotch plaids." In
defiance Of this custom the firm of Shepard,
Norwell & Co. have filled their windows on
Winter street, Boston, with American up
holstery goods, American prints, plisses
and crepons, American ginghams, Ameri-
%'AAi HOOi 1ANgo EOOA9 uIiA AibbAlSoh o4Aho'
These goods are all labeled made in
America, and they tell their own story.
The result of the experiment is said to
have been in every way satisfactory. The
enterprising firm has lost no customers,
but on the contrary has gained many, for
there are thousands of people who are
pleased with the pluck and courage shown
by the firm in confronting the foolish pre-
JUDGE for foreign goods and boldly relying
upon the patriotism and common-sense of
the American people.
An equal success could doubtless be OBJ
tanned in San Francisco in the same way.
There is a whole host Of California goods
sold under foreign or Eastern labels that
ought TO be sold as home products. The
custom of giving them foreign labels works
double injury to the State. In the first
place it encourages the foolish prejudice
against home productions. In the second
place as the goods sold under the false
title are generally our best wines and best
fruits, foreign countries get reputation
for producing better articles of this kind
than California. and thereby the sale of
our goods is injured even among people
who have no prejudice against them.
Certainly there never was time in Cali
fornia more favorable for the undertaking
of this much needed reform than right
now. The merchants who will put Cali
fornia goods to the front will succeed in
San Francisco as Shepard, Norwell e. Co.
have succeeded in Boston. Everybody,
except the foolish, is in favor of
home products. A liberal patronage is
sure to be extended to homemade articles
as soon as they are placed conspicuously
before consumers. The Boston example
is worth initiating, and we commend it to
our merchants.

CIVIC FEDERATION.
Action to Compel the Authorities to
Enforce the Ordinance Regard
ing Car Guards.

The executive board of the Civic Fedora
ton, at a special meeting held Thursday
evening in the offices of George T. Gaden at
819 Market street, decided that the city
ordinance requiring the street railways to
equip their cars with suitable guards shall
be enforced. The board has retained an
attorney and he is now preparing the
necessary papers for an appeal to the
courts. The matter has been brought to
the attention of the Grand Jury, but unless
immediate action is taken by that body
the federation will proceed on its own re-
sponsibility. The members of the execu-
tive board declined to state whether their
action will take the form of suits against
the railroads or mandamus proceedings to
compel Chief Crowley to take action in the
premises. They say, however, that both
methods were discussed last night and
that definite decision was reached. Their
suits, if filed at all, will be filed not later
than Monday or Tuesday of next week.
The board also discussed the action of
the ''solid eight" in the Board of Supervi-
sors regarding the Church-street franchise,
and unanimously adopted resolutions con-
demning that action and calling on the
Grand Jury to impeach the members who
voted to grant the franchise. A copy of
the resolutions was left at Foreman Gagan's
place of business last night. The full text
of the resolutions will be found in another
column
