The people OF Little Fails will have
8 chance at the forthcoming city
election to show whether they endorse
thu work OF the present city admins
tratisn and the ma iority Of the eoun-
Gil. The great issue, the issue which
now al before eontronts the people,
is whether the city of Little FaiAe
shall be governed and exploited BY
the Electri ( Water Co., or whether
the citizens shall themselves rule tAis
city and secure for themselves the
benefits OF munieipal ownership oil
public utilities. Neither malice noz
ridjcnle, nor pe7versjon Of fact, car
obscure the issue. Municipal e3ee-
tons should be fought on higbe,
ground than the question Of who
shall Or shall not be policeman, street
commis sioNer, or who shall Ell aDy
of the minor elective or appo,ntive
offices. If these minor Offices are
acceptably filed, the average citizen
is satisfied. Bat mayor aldermen
and city clerk ought to be elected ON
hiY her ground. II the people OF the
city want some certain economic
policy carried into effect, they need
to have in sympathy With them the
council, which is the Legislative body,
the mayor, who is the executive Off
GER, and the clerk, who is the keeper
OF the records. We speak within oer
knowledge when we say that if a
clerk antagonistic to mayor and
council had been in Office the past
year certain important measures
might not have gone through. 1t is
plain: therefore, that the attitude of
candidates for these Offices on the
great question before the people, de
serves consideration by the voters.
Since that day in September, 1894
when the business men OF the city
asked the council to try to get the
light and water rates reduced, there
has been one pre-eminent municipal
issue, and that is the light and
water issue. Until it is settled the f.
nanc,al condition OF the city will not
be what it should. During the past
year the position OF the city was
vastly improved in the controversy
between it and the company. The
two decisions OF the supreme court,
both declaring the contracts void,
give the city a great advantage.
Shall it, having been declared by the
supreme court 10 be right, abandon
the contest? Yet The election OF
men opposed to municipal owner
ship and influenced BY thscomp.p,y,,
would mean that a abandonment. We
do not think the people care to quit
after havinggo so far successfully
nor will they turn downthe men who
have worked for the city,s interest.
We were told the litigation hurt the
city's standing and yet the bonds
would have been sold at q higher
premium than any bonds ever sold
here. The acts OF the city, officials in
the controversy were endorsed by
the splendid vote on the bonds. They
should again be endorsed at the
coming election. l* S.. s.: {. ,z5 >

be1lious savages of the archi-
pelago? A.. Not less than
$50, 600, 900 a year, and prob

Q. Will it not be neces-

The New York World is authority for
the statement that there is a shortage
of labor in the metal and machinery
trades in New York city and quotes
g number of instances from which the
following are taken:
Every molder of the Iron Molders'
union is at work, and the employment
bureau at 81 Center street is daily in
receipt of demands for men that it can
not fill.
The Pattern Makers union reports the
same condition, and a few days ago Tim

citation of Machinists report that every

William A. Perrine, Of the Iron Mold
ers' conference board said that never in
the history Of the machinery trade in
the United States has there been such
prosperity, and he declared that there
is work enough in sight to keep all
hands busily employed for at least two
years.

But People Were Too Busy Watch

The eclipse Of the moon last night was
poor success in point of spectators AS
far as the lunar orb was concerned. 1t full
filled every clause of its contract to the
best of It's ability, sometimes even going
SO far, in its efforts to secure attention.
as to fade entirely out of sight This evil
dence of good faith on the part of the
moon was unappreciated.
One reason for the.lack of lunar enthu-
siasm was that the night was dark. as
was to be expected, and most people after
creating several wrinkles in the collars
decided that the moon wasn't out. and
that therefore there couldn't be an
eclipse. There was some who went so far
as to say that a full moon had no bust
ness trying to carry out performance of
this kind
A few moments before o'clock last
night the moon was seen, looking a little
the worse for wear, and in a short time
1t began to grow dark
AS the night darkened the moon dimin-
ished In size and brilIiancy, until nothing
was visible except a luminous patch in
the sky.
About o'clock the eclipse was at its
best. and a few people noticing that the
night was especially dark, remembered
that there was an eclipse slated.
