necessary to convince them that honesty
and fair dealing with their creditors are
absolutely essential to prosperity.

A correspondent whose communication
is published elswehere assumes that the
next legislature will abrogate the monop-
oily that is>now conferred on existing
electric light companies in this state.
Perhaps he is right. but we ire inclined
to think that that monopoly is not to be
got rid of except after hard fight.
Every company in the state, and there
are good many of them, besides every
telegraph and telephone company which
are granted similar exclusive privileges.
will struggle hard for it's continuance,
and unless there is combined effort
against them upon the part of the people
they will win. Experience shows that it
is very difficult thing to GUST en-
treuched monopolies. The correspondent
is.clearly right, however, in taking the
position that the city government should
NOT make contract with the existing
company that shall extend beyond one
year. The electrical science is in its in-
fancy, and the CITY should not put itself
in position where IL cannot take advan-
taRe of new discoveries which may tend
to reduce the cost of lighting; nor should
it seem to acquiesce in the existing mo-
opoly az it would by making contract
for u long term Of years.

TARIFF LEGISLATION.

TIL latest returns give little reason for
hope that there will be a majority of
sound money Republicans in the next
Senate. There will be a majority Of Re-
publicans undou btedly, but enough of
them will be tainted with the silver
heresy to prevent united action on any
question affecting the currency. Never
theless the situation is going to be con-
siderablY improved in the next Senate.
In the last one, tho siI yer men. had a
majority. That is to say the Democratic,
Republican and Populist members who
believed in free silver constituted clear
majority of the whole body and they
could by combining pass any measure
they agreed upon or defeat any. In the
next Senate there will be majority o
sound money mem bers, though not OF
sound money Republicans, and by unit
ing they can control the Senate. But
though the situation is improved Us far as
ourr ency legislation is concerned, and all
danger is removed of free silver legis-
lation or any concessions to silver of any
kind, as regards revenue legislation the
situation is improved very little If any.
1t is to be feared the silver Senators will
have the power to hold up any legisla-
ton of that kind just as they did last
year, unlefs the sound money Republic
cans and sound money Democrats can
come to some agreement upon revenue
bill. With the silver Republicans any
agreements will be Impossible be-
cause they will demand some con-
cession to silver as condition
precedent and that cannot be given.
The difficulty Of union with the sound
money Democrats lies in the radical differ
ence of opinion between the Republicans
and Democrats a. to the method of rails
ing revenue. The Republicans are
pledged to tariff for protection as well
as revenue while the Democrats are
pledged to tariff for revenue OILY. Ger
tainly an attempt to radically revise the
tariff on protection lines will be resisted
by all the Democrats-the sound money
ones as well as the silver ones-while
the silver Republicans will resist 1t too
unless they get concession to silver. 1t
looks therefore as il for the next two
years at least any radical tariff legisla-
ton along protection line would be i'm
possible. The most that can be.expected il
the passage of some such measure as the
Dinghy bill that will increase some W hat
the rates of the Wilson law, but will not
| remove its inequalities or radically
change its character. The overwhelm-
ing defeat of free coinage in the country
will not probably have much influence
upon the Republican silver Senators be-
| cause their states went as rule over
| " helmingly for silver and the local
pressure will be SO strong that they will
be unable to resist 1t even If they are
disposed to. We can look therefore for
no radical tariff legislation by the next
Congress. unless the situation as it now
appears to be is changed by later devel.
opments.

Populism, which means. that it has

was already poor, and prevented it's

CURRENT COMMENT.
THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE
PLACE.
(Kennebec Journal.)

tAASAAVpoO OSAAhhAsJ
There should be no question about the
appointment of Hon. W. W. Thomas
Jr., of Portland, an United States minis
ter to Sweden. 1t can be said, without
disparagement of any one that no other
man in the country has the pre-em inent
qualifications for this position that are
possessed by Mr.. Thomas. He has passed
many of the most active years of his life
In Sweden. He has been keen student
and close observer of its history and
DEMONSTRATIONS. He has a wider ac-
other American citizen. His ties with
that country were strengthened b. his
marriage some years ago TO an accom-
plished lady of one of its most distip-
GU ished families. Mr.. Thomas speaks
and writes the Swedish language with
grace and fuency. AS envoy extraordi-
maryland minister p1enipotentiary of the
United States at Stockholm, the inter-
ests of this country would be In safe and
competent hands. We believe that in
view Of this special fitness for the place.
and of his distinguished claims upon the
party for whose success he has done most
effective work In the campaign lust
closed, this post of honor will be aooord-
ed Mr.. Thomas without opposition.
MCKINLEY AND REED.
(Hpringfield Republican.
Thomas B. Reed ought to remain In
that high post of honor and service, the
office of speaker of the national House Of
Representatives, and we have no doubt
that he will do SO. If the presidents are
followed, as will probably be the case,
President-e;ect Mckinley will offer to
make Mr.. Reed Secretary of State-and.
if such offer comes, Mr.. Reed will de-
cline to enter the next cabinet.
Thescountry has greater need of him in
the Speakers chair, and there he will
remain. There is going to bs great need
of broad and wise statesmanship when
the Republicans take command next
March, and the people will look to Mr..
Reed as one of the men at to meet such
demand. AS Speaker it will be in his
power to shape and direct legislation, az
we'll as to choke 1T of, and to keep the
rudder Of Congress true in trying
period of our national history will be
Mr.. Reeds duty and opportunity. He
will not enter McKinley's oabi net-he
will be the great figure in Congress.
