There will also be some "assisted" oppo-

Value of the Marines

The marines are a sort of amphibfors
corps that are not always rightly esteemed
in time of peace. The army regards them
as only part of the decorative equipment
of the navy, while the navy looks on them
as landsmen who are of no use on ship
board. Yet they get around the world to
posts of danger that the army cannot
reach, and when the occasion comes the
bluejackets are always glad of their help.

THE LIGHTING BIDS

| The city council yesterday opened bids
for street lighting. The offers submitted
were such as to justify the newly suggest
ed plan that the city own its own distribut-
ing system, securing the electric current
from the lowest bidder, thus admitting of
open competition.
The city now pays 50 per lamp per
month. Our readers are referred to the
local columns for the details of the speci-
fications and bids. In order to afford a
basis of comparison, it is sufficient to say
that the Los Angeles Electric company.
which owns the present distributing sys-
tenn, offers to put in $50 additional lights,
burn the lights all night, instead of on
the midnight and moonlight" schedule,
as at present, at charge of $3.50 per
lamp per month.
Under the specification calling for the
removal of the poles and the sub
stitution of six arc lamps for
each pole, the Los Angeles COM
pany bid s6.75 per lamp per month.
and the Edison Electric company 1894.
For furnishing the electrical energy for
all the lamps necessary for lighting the
city, the San Gabriel company bid $4.25
per lamp. Two companies offered to
construct a complete distributing sys-
tenn, at a cost of about $1250O0
The figures show the value of competi-
tion. The same company that last year,
when it had monopoly, declared that it
could not reduce it's rates below SO on a
moonlight midnight" service, now Of
fers to put in 1S0 additional lamps-which
the city must have-and burn the lamps
all night, for $3.50.
The rate becomes still lower when the
figure is for furnishing the electrical
energy alone; but the acceptance of the
bid would necessitate putting in $685.
900 distributing system.
1t is for the council to determine which
of the bids is the cheapest and most ad-
vantageous. Even if the city should
decide to put in no distributing plant
of its own, it can secure 1SO additional
lights by paying out only SO, 500 more than
it is paying a present, and have besides
the 'all night" schedule instead of the
moonlight midnight" schedule. The
city is now paying $49,6S0, and would
have to pay $4,000. At the rate now in
vogue the annual expense of lighting the
city would be over 100000, if the addi-
tional lamps were included.
Should it be decided to put in a NUM-
cipal distributing plant the annual cost
would still be much lower than at pres
ert; so that the city is bound to profit
through the new method of instituting
competition. in any.vent.

Rev. DIR. Washington Gladden. who for
nearly half a century has been making
abortive attempts to break away from his
holy profession, is now said to be on the
eve of departure for England, where he
goes to convert the people of the tight
little isle to the doctrine of an Anglo
Saxon alliance. The only objection to
this mission is that it is likely to prove
a work of supererogation. The English
people are quite capable of handling their
end of this problem, without any assist
ance from Americans, ministerial or
otherwise, and Mr.. GLADDEN. might better
confine his missionary work to the home
field. A more or less pestiferous clement
in Ohio, the people of that state would
doubtless prefer to hear that he had de-
termined to preach his doctrine in Ire

VEGETABLES MOVING NORTH.
Florida Sending It's Early Market
DeIicacies.

During the past few days the vegetable
business out OF Florida has picked up.
Two or three weeks ago the movement was
practically without life, the railroads being
lucky to get two or three cars occasion
ally From the southern part of the
peninsthhr. however. the young vegetables
are now beginning to go North.
The fast freight schedule used
during the vegetable season has
been put on on the Florida Central and
Pen,nsular Railroad, and two or three
cars now so North daily. When the season
is at its hight as many as thirty cars
day, and sometimes forty are run. The
average is between twenty and thirty cars.
There is great competition during the
season among the soliciting freight men
for the vegetable business. They work the
lower peninsular first, getting all the ship
ments from that section. AS the season
advances they come northward, working
industriously among the shippers all the
time.
The business now moving consists of
light vegetables. They are the early truck
that sells well on the Northern markets.
When Irish potatoes are dug they are
shipped usually by water routes, the rates
being much lower. Smaller truck is often
shipped by steamer also, the planters pre-
ferring 10 obtain the lower rates than to
ship by rail- This becomes more often the
case as the season advances, and more
northerly trucking vicinities begin to make
shipments The Irish potatoes are not in
jured by longer transit, and find just as
ready sale. The steamship companies usu-
ally beat the roads on getting shipments,
while the roads get it back on smaller
truck that requires quick transportation
in order to find ready market. From Sa-
vannah the steamship company gets a big
share of all the business. On potatoes the
rate by water IS about 20 cents per bar
rel less than by rail.
