Electric Lights.

AT the council meeting held on Fri
day evening the franchise granting
to Thee. Won Rolf and assignes the
right to erect and operate an electric
light plant within the bounds of this
city was passed, but as the time for the
signing of the contract with the city
for the erection of such plant expired
at II o'clock Friday night, and as no
contract was signed before that time,
the franchise is annulled, and the
company now has no power to erect a
plant in this city. A $500 forfeit was
put up by Mr.. Won Rolf, which will
now be claimed by the city, and as soon
as the council shall receive bids from
other companies they will award the
franchise. to that company which in
their opinion will erect and operate a
plant that will be for the best interests
of the city. 1t is to be regretted that
the company which was granted the
franchise failed to perform their part of
the agreement, but the city will be put
to no disadvantage, except the time
lost in waiting for this company to
sign the contract, and in securing a
new company to erect the plant.
Mr.. Scott, of Charles City, gave the
council the experience of his city in
street paving, and the council discussed
the subject briefly, but no action was
taken.

NEWS OBSERVER THURSDAY MORNING, TO-
REFORM.

The great and good reformer brought
his biggest search-light out,
And with firm, answering purpose he
flashed it all about;
1t showed up everybody's straight and
crooked ways,
Till to a man the rascals ran to hide
them from the blaze.
Then presidents, clerks, and bank CASH
iers began to turn them pale,
And even the guardians of the peace
quailed with a thoughtful quail;
The sugar man and butter man their
heads drew out of sight,
But the dry goods dealer boldly stood
and faced that searching light.
The railroad corporations paused, and
ministers meanwhile,
Began to search their souls to see if
they were free from guile;
And those who led society, or stately
pedigree,
Trembled at what the curious world
in blazonry might see.
And so this benefactor had of moral
fun no end,
In showing up the faults alike of enemy
and friend;
Till some one got his breath again and
turned the light about,
And put this great reforner man at
once to utter route.

vANcEs SUCCESSOR.

Col. Worthington Names Ex- Judge
Merrimon as the Man to Receive the
Mantle.
Tothe Editor: Upon whom shall fall
the mantle of Vance? We have, it APP
pears, reached an age of degeneracy.
All party divisions have come to be
founded upon the desire and calcula-
fion of the chances of office.
All elections are degraded into mean
contests for political ACKNOWLEDGMENT,
and there can be but one end to such,
the loss of public virtue and utter and
complete disorganization.
Whether these contests be for power
in State or nation, they are alike mer-
cenary and unprincipled. We should
have at heart the success of represen-
tatiye government. We should not only
toll for ourselves but for the human
race The event of our experiment is
to show whether man can be trusted
with self-government. The problem
was unanswered century ago, and it
is unsolved now.
The highest officers of our govern
ment are stepping aside from the plane
Of official duty to become electicneer-
ing partisans.
When the practice of official inter-
ference is freely INDUCED as now;
when "offensiye partisanship" walks
abroad in It's own nalzedness, without
a mouth to cover it's deforInity; when
DISCUSSES are re ected as unnecessary,
is it not time to awaken our sleeping
sentinels and summon every patriot
to his post. While there is intense dis
cordance in the ranks of the Republic
can party, is it not true that our own
organization is seriously challenged.
we are again to be pelted with a
boigterous campaign in our State.
There are still good and great men
among as, but many are not archi-
tecturally men designed for the great
Office of Governor
Tt is gratifying however, to know
that, though the gnarled and rugged
oak that stood for so many years in
the pathway of the storm, shaken and
riven by many rush, has been broken
of its power under it's shadow, the
young oak, with toughening fibre, has
advanced into vigorous development.
1t matters little how dense the black
ness that shall gather upon the face
of the sky. Rift after rift, like "chas-
ing devils" may add volume Of danger
to the storm cloud. our destinies. our
institutions, our liberty are safe in the
! hands of another illustrous son Of the
mountains, Judge James Ii. Merl1mon,
and though girdled by power that
threatens our humiliation, the day Will
! be all the brighter when the clouds shall
have passed.
In this triumph and under this
chosen leader, while we shall have our
full share of sacrifice. it will gladden.
/ the day of victory to brighter lustre.
