light sl4Q.95.
The city uses l16 arc lights for
commercial service.
The mayor Of Lansing shows
the true condition Of Municipal
Ownership and says;
The plant has now cost &106,-
600 and is far from being worth
any such amount and in thus doing
business the city is really engaged
in wholesale larceny" and sums
up as follows: IF the the qucs-
ton was now for the first time
presented to the city whether they
should embark in the business Of
furnishing commercial lights. |
would most assurdly say that it
should not. But we are confront
ed with a condition; we own the
plant, poles and wire, we must
maintain the business as we cannot
sell it for anything like it cost. 1t
seems advisable therefore to con
tinue to sell lights if we can do so
without loss. We ought to goout
of the business and charge the loss
up to the experiment fund, Re
construction Of the system has be-
gun and evidently it must con
tinue at considerable cost. "
This shows that the cost of the
street lights to the taxpayers at
both places was at least 30 per
cent above what they would have
been charged by private compan-
les. The rate charged by the city
for commercial incandcscent lights
at Lansing is also considerably
above that charged by private
companies.
These are but samples Of the re-
suits of Municipal Ownership Of
Electric Light Plants all over the
country.
The taxpayer should consider
and examine carefully and dispas-
slonately into the proposition be-
fore plunging the city into a per-
and continual increase of
taxes, in order to try an expert
ment which has proved a failure
in a business point Of view in al
most every city whore it has been
tried.
What we most need is not the

enterprise againt our own citizens

Spanish Treachery and Perfidy

The story of the destruction of the bat
tleship Maine, when truthfully written. if
it ever is, will be recognized as one of the
blacklist pieces of treachery ana pertidy
ever known to modern times. There is
| room for no doubt, whatever, but that
the Maine was blown mp by a Spanish sub
marine mine, planted by Spanish author
| tiles, and there is little doubt but the
button that sent the electric spark to ex-
plode this fearful instrument of death
: and destruction was pressed by Spanish
officer in a Spanish fort right in
sight of the ship destroyed. This
act was in perfect accord with the
atrocities of Spanish authorities in their
dealings with Cubans for generations past
and no more heartless than their methods
of torture employed upon political
prisoners and prisoners Of war or than
their systematic starvation of women and
/ children by thousands. Nothing imagin-
able in the way OF treachery or cruelty is
too base or too contemplate for them.
The Maine disaster is ample cause for
declaration of war and would be 50 taken
and held with most any nation of Europe,
Asia, Africa or South America. No other
nation than the United States would have
RETAINED from hostilities so long under
such provocations. [Somerset Reporter.

has yet been done in the form of
legislation, owing to the hitherto un-
settled or incomplete knowledge on
the part of recognized medical and
veterinary authorities. This, how
ever, no longer exists, and there is a
strong unanimous sentiment, over
the civilized world, that something
must be done to keep the evil in
check. In 1888 a congress for the
study of tuberculosis was held in
Paris. At it's sessions the relation
of bovine to human tuberculosis
formed prominent part of the dis
cussion. 1t likewise was the i'm
portant topic discussed at the Inter-
national Veterinary Congress held
in Brussels in 1883 and in Paris in
1880. 1t is the important topic in all
societies devoted to sanitation and
public health, and great pressure is
being exerted through these bodies
as well as in the medical press upon
the various governments to take
hold Of this subject.
In France the veterinary asso-
Citations have long since demanded
that tuberculosis be classed with the
contagious diseases of animals. This
was done by a decree dated July
28, 1888. The ministerial order of
the same date contains the follow
ing prescriptions:
ART. 9. When the existence of
tuberculosis has been established in
cattle, the prefect issues an order
placing these animals under the
care of sanitary veterinarian.
ART. 10. Every animal known
to be tuberculous is isolated and
sequestrated; the animal can only
be moved for slaughter. The kill
ing is done in the presence of the
veterinarian who is to make the
autopsy, and send to the prefect the
protocol within five days after the
autopsy,
ART. II. The flesh of tubercu-
lous animals is excluded from con-
sumption (D when the LESSONS are
generalized, /. e., not confined ex-
clusiveiy to the internal organs and
their lymphatic ganglia; (2) when
the LESSONS, although localized, have
invaded the greater part of single
organ, or manifest themselves by
an eruption on the walls of the chest
or abdomen. This meat, excluded
from consumption, as well as the
tuberculous organs, cannot be used
to feed animals, but must be de-
stroyed.
ART. IL. Utilization of the hides
is only permitted after disinfection.
These regulations, according to
Vallin, will at least prevent the
slaughter of all consumptive cattle
in private places beyond the reach
of all control and the transformation
of the flesh into "foreign" meat
into the markets of the
cities! 1t will also prevent the move
ment of such cattle into the markets
to be sold, after many stables in
which the animals have lodged have
been soiled and infected by them.
In England the diseases of tuber-
culoSiS and pleuro-pneumonia among
cattle were referred to a depart
mental committee, who sat during
April, May and June, of 1888. A
number of witnesses
were examined, and the committee
recommended measures of preven-
tion and exterpation. The British
Medical Journal, in commenting on
this condition of things, says:
'What we want and what the med
Ical profession must fight for is a
