ness, no Increased Taxation nor
Transfer of Franchise.

The question Of electric lights for
our city is about to be opened up be-
fore the public, for the benefit of
those who would profit at public ex-
pense. That it may be done by pri,
vate individuals, simply means that
the franchises they wsll demand from
the public, is surrender of public
interests to few individuals organ
lzed as a company or association of
individuals. The present indebted
ness of our city is now nearly up to
the constitutional limit, and our peo-
pie are in no condition to submit to
additional taxation in behalf of a
system OF electric lights. Beside that,
our present system of lighting en-
ables our citizens to find their way
home with reasonable certainty and
safety. After we pay for our water
works, then let US move in the direc-
tion of an electric light plant-not
for few individuals but for the peo-
pie, to be owned exclusively by the
city, and to be operated for the bene-
fit of its people. We now have the
power, in that used for our water
works, that will enable the city to
operate an electric light plant with
but little additional cost for labor or
fuel. Beside this the field of expert
mental science is being explored and
worked by thoroughly practical men
and the process of lighting is being
cheapened as we'll as perfected, and
made better, SO that by waiting till
our deb's are paid, and we are en-
abled to undertake the enterprise in
behalf of our people, we shall be able
to give them the best there is at a
reasonable cost. The electric dvna.
mo for manufacturing purposes in
place of steam is to become potent
factor in the business world. Their
value and use should be reserved for
the benefit of the public instead of
donating their use through municip-
al franchise or gratuitous license to a
corporation or to any single individ-
ual.
The city of GLASGOW, in Scotland,
by reserving all franchises and privi-
leges to its people has the most per-
feet system in the world, the revenue
from which pays its taxes, supports
it's water works, its electric light and
its street railway at less cost to the
people than is paid by them for simi-
lar conveniences in any city in the
world where these are furnished by
individuals or corporations.
Private enterprise is always willing
to invest a dollar for monopoly OF
any business that with its franchise
given GRATIS, is worth five to ten.dol-
lars. If the people can successfully
conduct one monopolistic occupation
it can another. There is no surrender
of individual right in the mail service.
Private enterprise would have furn-
ished the service, but not at cost, as
it is by the government. There is no
service rendered rae people in the
way ofpubiic convenience, by private
enterprise, but can be as we'll done
and more cheaply to the people by
public than by private employment.

ART AND DOLLARS.
One Painter Who Is True to His
L. : !.


1 have friend whom shall venture
to call "poor artist" for know that
he is poor, and gets his living, such as
it is, by painting, says writer in Scrib-
ner's. | cannot pretend to judge his
work, but have had ample proof that
he is devoted, laborious and will not
sacrifice his convictions for gain or
popularity. Perhaps he is not so singu-
lar in this, but what, as my experience
goes, is a popularity of his is that he
is not in the habit of cursing the 'sPhil-
istines." His view seems to be that, as
he paints to suit himself, it does not
comport with his self-respect to blame
people whom his painting does not suit
for refusing to buy it or for being un-
able to understand it. My friend, as
have said, is poor and is likely to re-
main so, but he appears really content
with his work and his relative poverty.
1 confess that his attitude is COM
fort to me and that in his patience and
modesty and generous fidelity to his
ideal he is model whom some other
artists - perhaps artists generally
might study with advantage. He puts
into his work the best he has to give
and that, in substance, is what the
great critics have insisted is the source,
of the greatest value in art. OF course.
mans best, so far as concerns his,
talent, may be much or little, but what
ever it is he will hardly get it into his
work if he is thinking chiefly of the
money return or if he is habitually re-
sentful because he does not get the,
money return.

The latest use for glass is instead Of
gold as material for stopping decay

is far less conspicuous than the yellow
metal. OF course, it is not ordinary
glass, but is prepared by some new
patented process which renders it soft
and malleable.
