THE YEAR.


This total of SEQ, 954.04 is what we
course we do not deem it worth time
and space to prove that the interest an
nually due on our bonds is debt. We
are willing to allow our esteemed con
against the proposition that our an
nual interest account is credit.
In its Incorporate discussion of the
question in Saturdays issue, the Reg
lister calls to it's aid about all the ital.
les, small capitals and exclamation
points in The office. Il says:
The Leader says we are paying off
$50, 600.
Now, we are not certain whether that
statement is case of bad English
mistaken Interpretation or willfull
preversion. If it is meant that we said
the city is cancelling or taking up it's
bonds to the amount of $50, 900 an
nually, the Register misrepresents us,
for we never said it.
There is no reason for the bubJling
over of our neighbors anger. lie can
not certainly claim to speak for ey-
Clerk Mueller, who is in Ala bama, and
who was always a stauuch friend of
the electric light plant, and so when he
says that Mr. Mueller would "choke
the writer black in the face and he
ought to" for republishing his finan-
cial statement, we naturally assume
that the Register editor is giving eX-
preston to mis- own ire which he at
tributes to Mr.. Mueller. We assume,
we say, naturally, that the Register ed
itor wants to choke us black in the
face himself. We are sorry for this,
because being cholied black in the face
is always unpleasant for the chokee
and sometimes disastrously unfortu-
nate for the choller. 1t is also undig-
nified and not generally pracuiced in
good society. True, we may be pre-
sumptuous in differing from the Regis
ter, because it was here before we
were, but we do not look upon it as
sufficient reason for being choked
black in the face. We beg our es-
teemed brother to regain control Of his
feelings and put such p,ebeian ideas out
of his head.

graduation. The engine used to sup
ply power for the lights is a OCH. p.
machine. Last night, as well as every
night, it was carrying load OF 119-H.
p. and the dynamos, with the present
insufficient number Of lights, carrying
one more than their total capacity un-
der normal conditions This engine,
which croakers have said is worth lit
tie or nothing, is pounding away at
24O revolutions minute doing approx
imately 25 per cent more work than
was ever intended it should. If it is
kept at it any man with a grain of
sense knows what will happen-and
the city, which is the people, will pay
the bill. The plant needs 80 per cent
addition all roand to keep pace with
the city's probable growth in the next
dozen years. The quarters are
cramped it is claimed the high-speed
machinery is injuring the City Hall,
and the only recourse from common
sense business standpoint is to erect
suitabl power house somewhere and
enlarge the plant If not enlarged it
must of necessity in the near future be
sold. That's business sense.
We do not want the plant sold. We
haye fought the proposition for four
years. In all honesty we express the
belief that it is best for the city to vote
for the bonds. We know the perversity
of the public when it's own interests
are concerned-the childlike simplicity
with which it seems to court its own un-
doing But withal we hope it will real
ize the force that is crying down its
lights and save itself while it may
1t is enough to say that never until
it became known that the plant was
overloaded, did this conscienceless op-
position say: ut is all right; let it
alone" Save your lights. Vote for
bonds.
Read what the Parkersburg Journal
says in another column. 1t certainly
is unprecedented and tells the whole
story. They buy their lights down
there from a private company. When
their contract expires they will prob
ably try to put in plant of their own.
If your house is not large enough
you add to it or sell is Don't let idle
arguments of petty details and side is
sues get you away from the main is
sue.
So far as the street paving bonds are
concerned it matters little whether the
authority is given now or next year.
If given now the expense of another
election will be sayed. There is some
money to go on with the work and the
bonds, in any event, will not be issued
until needed. Street paving can be de-
layed for short time only.

The Leader says the Committee has
withdrawn the electric light propo.
sition.-Register.
The falsity of the above is simply
hideous, The Council has merely init
mated their intention to drop the in
candescent feature.
If it had said the Register had
knocked it out there would have been
some truth in it.-Register.
The egotism of this is laughable.
We don't need $40, 600 to go into in.
candescent lighting. Register.
Nobody says we do. 1t is simply a
case of enlarging the plant to meet the
growth of the city or, as plain busi-
ness proposition, being forced to sell it
soon because it is too small for the re-
quirements. You putt the way you do
to deceive the voter into believing that
the $40, 900 is asked for incandescent
lighting.

AN Outside VIEW

There seems to be a wide difference
of opinion as to what the lighting of
Marietta costs under their present sys-
tenn. An official report states that the
cost of their plant, which is located in
the city building, was $4,000, 1t has
run six years and half and the city is
offered $12, 500 for it by an outside COM
pany The cost of operating and fur
nishing 110 arc lights last year was
So 500, and including expenditures for
S4113.OO. This shows an average oper-
ating cost per light of less than $40.
Including depreciation of plant and al
lowances for taxes, &C., Marietta has
demonstrated that $50 a year is liber-
al allowance for each light. The city
council has prepared an elaborate re-
port, including the reports from num-
erous cities, apd the result is somewhat
startling rs to the COMPARISONS be-
tween cities owning their own lighting
plants and those hiring their street
lighting done. Marietta certainly
saYes several thousand of dollars every
year in its street lighting as compared
with Parl1ersburg, and that is after
making liberal deductions for taxes,
plant, &C., for private corportion.
Marietta viii hardly surrender its
street lighting to private corporations.

Vote for the Llent Bonds.

OF the two bond propositions before
the voters today the city has need to
be most concerned about that one
which looks to the enlargement and
improve ment of the electric light plant.
1t has been proven beyond question
that municipal ownership of street
lights is much more economical than
the purchase of the lights from pri-
yate corporation The universal senti-
ment is, therefore, that the city CON
tinue to make its own lights. The
action Of Council in dropping the in
candescent feature removes entirely a
side issue that has been worked up by
interested and misled parties into a
great bug-a-boo The condition which
confronts us is this:
The unprophesied growth Of the city
has outstrlpped the capacity of the
plant originally put in, and many new
lights are not only needed, but justly
demanded. We are optimistic enough
TO consider this fact cause for con-

THE POLITICIAN.

Senator Tillman, of South Carolina,
was a little bit slow in bringing his
pitchfork into action, but he got it un-
limbered this week, and for more than
an hour he jabbed it into Mr.. Cleve-
land, the Rothschilds and other goid-
encrgetically as the average hired man
would into pile of hay while the boss
was in sight. He referred to Mr.. Cleve-
land in such endearing terms as ''tho
bull-headed and self-idolatrous man
who holds the reins of power" traitor
to and destroyer of the Democratic
party. and said sneeringly to the Dem
ocratic side of the Senate: "How many
of you, men grown old and gray in the
service of the party and of the nation,
men who were its trusted leaders be-
fore Cleveland was heard of, how many,
l say, have been called into his coun-
sells? If any, speak. l shall be glad
to hear them. Where has this man
sunk his personality? Whom has he
consulted? Whose advice has he recog-
nized? None but that of the bootlicks
and sycophants who have crawled on
their knees for the crumbs of patron
age and betrayed their constituents
for the offices in his gift. In the en-
tire history of this country the high
office of President has never been so
prostituted, and never has the appoint
ing power been so abused. Claiming
to be the apostle of civil service reform,
he has debauched the civil service by
making appointments only of those
whose sponsors would surrender tEeir
manhood, and with bated breath, walk
with submissive head in his presence"
There was whole lot more about
this. besotted tyrant' whose con-
science has become debauched who

it's income tax decision, and predicting
