SAVES THE

Town Ownership of Lighting Plants In o
Good Way to Reduce Expenses.
Edinburgh has been trying for many
months the experiment Of making it's
wi electric light instead Of buying it
ready made from private corporations.
No n who has observed with any care
the results Of the many similar expert.
ments in other British cities will be at
all surprised to learn that this particu-
lar plunge into what n few years ago
would have been called socialism Of the
most dangerous sort has, like almost all
Of its predecessors, ended in O success at
once brilliant and complete.
Already the demand for the oity's cleo
trio service has grown far beyond the.
capacity of its original plant, and addi-
tions to cost $105, 900 are now in
course of erection. Edinburgh not only
Eliminates it's own streets, but supplies
electricity for the lamps and motors Of
it's citizens. The cost of the service is
less to a startling extent than it was
under the old system, and it is constant.
ly decreasing as the municipal ~electri-
cians gain experience and confidence.
The increased demand is the direct CON-
sequence Of this reduction in price, and,
although the liimt Of cheapness must be
reached sooner or later, it is not yet by
any mean in sight.
What Edinburgh has done to lower
the cost Of municipal government, and
thereby reduced tho taxpayers burden,
can be more easily accomplished, with
as great, if not greater. benefits. in the
towns and cities of our own country.
The towns i'll the United States which
have already secured their own lighting
plants abundantly prove this.

RURAL MAIL DELIVERY.
Is the One True Blood Purifier. 81; six for s1

Experiment Proves That It Can BE Done
Without Great Expense.
One Of Wanamaker's pet hobbies when
postmaster general was the free delivery
of all letters in the rural districts as
we'll as in the towns. Free delivery Is
universal in England and in several
other European countries, and it is the
natural aim Of the United States, but
the great cX'ant Of our country renders
it q difficult or rather a more expensive
matter to distribute letters in the rural
districts, and it looked as though the
delivery of letters in the rural districts
would cost millions and make our post
al expenditures far greater than tho re-
ceipts.
Wanamaker, however, insisted that
it would cost far less than was generally
thought and would tend to 80 increase
the postoffice business and add so largely
to our postal revenues that in q very
short time it would pay for itself. His
views, however, did not meet with favor
from congress at the time, although a
few experiments made by him tended to
verify his prophecies.
The experiment is snow being made on
a larger and better scale, Genesee coun-
ty, N. Y, being the field of operations.
1t was chosen because it is a we'll popu-
lated county, with roads better than the
average. The mail is delivered at the
farmers door in wagons or on bicycles.
So far the experiment has justified all
the predictions made Of it. 1t has COST
less than was expected, and it has i'm
creased the postal business. 1t is true
that the experiment is made in Genesee
county under more favorable conditions
than generally prevail elsewhere in this
country, but the service, first inaugu-
rated in a section we'll settled and with
good roads, might be gradually extended
to all parts of the Union.
Nothing will tend to make the rural
delivery of mails more popular than the
fact that it goes hand in hand with good
roads. 1t should be stated in this con-
nection that there has been such an i'm
provement in our roads since Mr.. Wan
amaker first tried rural delivery that il
would cost barely half as much as he
estimated, and he then calculated that
h service could be made self support
ing within less than five years.

Which Were Ordered From N
London Firm but Not built.

London. November 12.--Striking evil
dence Of Spaim's financial straits Ia fur
nished in the dispatch of the Madrid corr
respondent of the Daily Mail, cabled to
the Associated Press last night, saying the
Spanish government, finding It impossible
to raise the sum of 100000 ISIS 900, o0o)
by loan or taxation to carry out its original
naval plans, has decided to build two new
cruisers only of 1000 tons each. The dis
patch added that 1t is intended to summon
the cortes as soon as possible to vote cred
it's for the building of more men Of war
and the placing OF more powerful guns on
board the existing vessels. 1t is now
pointed out that the cruisers mentioned by
the Daily Mail correspondent were to have
been battleships, for whose construction
the government of Spain negotiated with
the Armstrong; months ago. The contracts
were eventually signed and the keels OF the
new battleshps were laid, but the Arm
strongs refused to proceed without assur-
ances of payment. Now 1t is doubtful IL
Spain will even be able to pay for the small
and comparatively ineffective cruisers
which are intended to replace the pro-
iected battleshps Yet. in spite of this
| according TO a correspondent of the Daily
Mail, the Spanish naval authorities claim
to regard the Spanish navy as being al
ready superior to the navy OF the United
States, which may explain some OF tho
| bellicose ntterances Of the Spanish press.
| In connection with Spain's hunt Nor
| warships, American diplomats have learned
| that Spain recently endeavored to make
an arrangement with japan whereby. in
the event of war with the United States.
the thirty or more warships now building
in various shipyards for Japan would be
| transferred to Spain. and it is supposed
| that upon the failure of these negotiations
the Spanish government entered upon a
deal with Chile for the transfer to the
Spanish flag of several vessels about COM
peted for the Chilean republic.
The diplomats referred to express the
opinion that from the standpoint of inter-
national law the completion OF such a deal
might be regarded as an unfriendly act TO-
wards the United States.
Besides the Rothschilds other prominent
| financiers of London and Paris have en-
tirely cut off the monetary supply which
Spain has hitherto succeeded in obtaining.
