Let's see, the City now pays $4,000
per year for her electric street lights.
If the plant should be sold to private
company they would not furnish the
same lights for less than S72 per lamp
or SS,064 per year, which the City
would have to pay; an increase in tax
alton of 81 064 per year. To vote for
the electric light bonds does not neces-
sarily mean that the city will not
grant franchise to a company to put
in incandescent lights, but it would
place the City in an independent posi-
tion, and would secure new building
for the street lighting plant, which
ought to have been built in the first
place. The electric light plant never
ought to have been put in the City
Hall. 1t is no place for it.
The example of Marquette, Michi-
gan, should be carefully considered by
each voter before he decides how he
will vote. They use water power:

AFRICAN IVORY is TIE EEST

Moro Durable and Capable of Higher
Artistic Uses Than Any Other.
African ivory is now conceded to be
the finest. The first quality of this
comes from near the equator, and it
has been remarked with regard to this
fact that the nearer the equator the
smaller is the elephant, but the larger
the tusks. The ivory from equato-
rial Africa, says Chambers Journal, is
closer in the grain and has less ten
dency to become yellow by exposure
than Indian ivory. The finest trans
parent African ivory is collected along
the west coasts between attitudes ten
degrees north and ten south, and this
is believed to deteriorate in quality and
to be more liable to damage with in
crease of latitude in either direction.
The whitest ivory comes from the east
coast. 1t is considered to be in best
condition when recently cut; it has
then mellow, warm, transparent tint,
as if soaked in oil, and very little APP
pcarance of grain or texture. Indian
ivory has an opaque, dead. white color,
and II tendency to become discolored.
OF the Asian variety Siam is consid-
cred to be the finest, being much supe-
rior in appearance and density. The
ivory of The mammoth tusks is not
very much esteemed, particularly in
England; it is considered too dry and
brittle for elaborate work, besides
which it is very liable to turn yellow.
AS matter of fact, the larger tuslss
very rarely leave hsiatic Russia. being
TOO rotten for industrial pu poses.

A VOT E
On the Bond Bill Will Probably Be Taken
in the Senate This Week.

On the Bond Bill VIII Probably Be Taken
in the Senate This Week.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 27.-The week be-
ginning Monday ends the second
month this congress has been in
session. Despite the fact that
there has been no holiday
recess but little has been accomplished
owing largely to consideration of the
substitute to the house bond bill AL
though this measure was speedily dis
posed of in the house it has been
the unfinished business of the
senate for several weeks. The
end, however, is in sight,
for on Friday last Mr.. Jones, of Arkan-
sas, in charge of the bill, gave notice
he would ask the senate to remain in
session Thursday next until the bill
was disposed of. 1t is hardly likely
that vote will be reached on that
day, as number of senators have
expressed their intention of speaking
on the pending substitute and time is
too short after the morning business
each day has been attended to to per-
init of their delivery of the, speeches.
1t is probable, however, that before
the week is out a vote will have been
taken and the free coinage substitute
adopted by the senate.

RIVER INTELLIGENCE.

Pittsburg, Pa, January 90 There is
barge stage of water in the river to-
day, but no coal could be gotten out
on account of the heavy running ice.
The Monopgahela is practically clear
of ice, but the Allegheny is still un-
loading its burden into the Ohio at
such rate that. the boats would be
endangered in trying to take out
tow. 1t is expected that the Allegheny
ice will be run out by tomorrow, and
everything is in readiness for big
coal shipment as soon as the way is
clear.
A Pittsburg dispatch of January Goth
says: The Allegheny is spewing out a
vast quantity of ice today, the result
of the breaking OF gorges at the
mouths of French Creek, the Mahon-
ing and Kiskiminitas Rivers, which oc-
Cured last night The river has risen
to better than 11feet in the harbor-a
coalboat stsge-but no boats having
started south because of the hazard of
navigation, with river running at the
rate of six miles an hour and full of
tremendous ice floats, which jostle and
grind against each other with, n sea
surf roar. The Youghiogheny is said
to be threatening to throw out her ice
tonight and this may fill the Monong-
gahela also, but the latter is free today
having poured out her contribution
during the past "a hours. All dav
roustab bouts have been pumping out
boats and barges and taking on stores
and filling bunkers with coal for a
start at the earliest time it will be
deemed safe to DO so. Masters do not
wish to risk the hazards which are to
be met between here and the mouth of
the Beaver, in which short distance so
many costly wrecks were experienced
during the last rise. Less than half
the Pittsburg fleet of boats are here
and some of those on the way up home
have been held back by the ice which
fills the Ohio from bank to bank. The
gauge at the Davis Island Dam shows
1872 feet; harbor, ILL feet.

If the next legislature of Pennsyl-
ment of public instruction, the country
school houses of that state will soon be-
come a Renaissance, relic of the for
gotten past. The idea is to abandon
them and centralize the schools in two
or three buildings in each township
that will be graded and be possessed
of superior apparatus and facilities.
Under this plan it is claimed much bet
ter attention can be paid to the schol-
ars. More experienced teachers will be
employed, and higher grade of pro-
ficiencv reached. Several townships of
the state have already experimental
with the idea, and are pleased with its
working. They not only have improv-
ed schools, but they find economy in
Capitalization and the salaries of
teachers.
And. this is not all. In order that
scholars more remote from the schools
may be able to attend, it is proposed
to change the law so that conveyauces
may be used at public expense to carry
the children to school. This would be
a great advantage in winter when the
roads are bad, and it is almost impos-
sible to secure the attendance of schol-
ars who have several miles to walk to
reach the school houses. The idea bout
to be carried out in Pennsylvania has
been adopted in Connecticut with good
results and it has the warm approval
of the board of education of that state.

There appears to be bad blood in

Aside from the jealousy manifested by
Hon. James Arnold against Your
Uncle Joe Chadderton, so fully eluci-
dated through these columns last
week, the Hon. J. Newspaper Bying-
ton of the Grove seems to have it in
for Andrew Stewart, the young giant
of the cause in Redwood county. By
ington failed to even mention the fact
that the annual Populistic picnic
was held at Viewers grove in the
last issue of his paper, although he
uses furnished report of the conven-
ton held at the school house. 1t is
only natural that the lesser become
jealous of the greater, but we expected
that this jealousy would be kept
down in the interests Of reform, ano
that the Hon. James Arnold and You

MERRIAM'S MAN CLOUGH.

The Pioneer Press, so we'll known
as the paper of corporations, and the
principal stock in which is controlled
by Gov. Merriam and Jas. j. Hill and
other equally celebrated corporate
men, is not inclined to give Gen. Mos
es E. Clapp fair show in Ramsey
County in opposing Clough for Gov
ernor. 1t is well-known that Clapp is
a power in Ramsey county and will
probably defeat CIough out of the
delegation from that county. But the
two Republican newspapers, the Pho
neer Press, owned by the corporate
powers, and the Dispatch, owned by
Geo. Thompson, warm friend of Gov.
Merriam's, are opposing Gen. Clapp,
and he is required to make strong
fight. The Pioneer: Press of last Fri
day had interviews with the Merriam
Clough stragglers, and of course, they
all yelled for Clough. The Jour-
nal, in speaking of the Ramsey county
fight, says: Among those interviewed
in favor of Clough is Ex-Governor
Merriam, who, Of course, thinks that
Clough is better man for the Office
than Clapp. Clough is for Merriam.
He is just the man Merriam wants for
that office. His nomination is essential
to the success of the big game Mr..
Merriam is playing. How obedient
and servicable he is capable of being
to Mr.. Merriam is illustrated in one
particular by his veto of the civil SER
vice DILL, passed by the last legislature.
That bill would have paralyzed the
Merriam machine. It would have
been a notice to the Office holders, the
grain inspectors, the dairy inspectors,
timber inspectors, theiboiler inspectors
the game inspectors, the oil inspectors,
and all the politicians who owe their
places to their ability to serve the ma
chine, that they need not hustle as
hard as they have been doing for the
perpetuation of the machine, while
the veto of the bill by Governor
Clough was notice to every one of
them that their continuance in en-
ployment depended upon their activ-
ity in his behalf. Of course Mr.. Mer-
RAM does not want Ramsey county to
go for Clapp, because Clapp would
sign the civil service bill, and with the
deputies and employes protected by
such law where would Merriam be-?
and what would become of his ma
chine.
No wonder Merriam is opposed to
Clapp and in favor of Clough in Ram
sey county. No wonder he is in fay-
or Of Clough throughout the state

in any public controversy tending to

discharge such principals and teachers.
