There should be no hesitation or un-
certainty on the part Of the water COM
mission in disposing of the electric light
question at tonight's meeting. If 1t
proposes to defy the will Of the people
and, through considerations of senti-
ment rather than duty. remand the
matter Of lighting the streets back to
the council, let it be done promptly
and de2isively. OF course. without the
backing Of the water commission, the
council viii have no alternative but to
make the best terms possible with the
light monopoly or let the streets go
unlighted. In this dilemma there is
but one consistent course open to the
council. 1t must stand by its position;
let the streets remain in darkness and
leave the responsibility of that situa-
tlon at the doors of the water commits
sion. There can be no question that
this is the sentiment of line-tenths Of
the taxpayers and householders Of As
toria. Better. far better, the inconven-
ience Of dark streets. or the substitu-
ton of some other and temporary sys-
tenn of lighting than to surrender the
people to the mercy of the West Shore
Mills Company.

EXPORTS STILL GROWING.

For the month Of April, 1900. Ameri-
can exports Of manufactured articles
were worth forty million dollars. while
the total value of our manufactured
exports for the fiscal year ending June
80 next promises to considerably ex-
ceed four hundred million dollars. Our
exports of manufactured products for
last April were greater than those for
any previous month in our history,
while the total for the present fiscal
year bids fair to be three times as
large as it was ten years ago, certain
ly remarkable growth in our export
trade for such comparatively short
period. In the same decade Great Bri-
tain's exports Of manufactured articles
have not appreciably increased, while
no European nation appears to have
increased its exports by more than %
per cent in the same period. The
United States total exports in the
same time have increased $50 per cent.
The growth Of our manufactured ex-
ports seems to be especially in the line
of metal manufactures, as the statis-
tics prepared by the invaluable bureau
Of treasury statistics show. In 1889
orr manufactured exports formed less
than 20 per cent of our total exports,
while for 1900 the percentage VIII be
As. The increase in metal and manu-
factured exports for the decade 1889
1898 was 389 per cent; the increase for
manufactures of all kinds was only 10
in the same time, and that for manu-
factures other than metals IS per cent.
Our expectations Of railway rails give
a very good idea Of our industrial
growth in the last few years. In 1889
we exported only seven tons Of iron

Although Gov. Taylor, Of Kentucky,
has accepted the decision OF an in
famous law, which. although IL strikes
at the rule of the majority, is still the
law. in the case Of the office to which
he was elected by a majority of ballots
which left no doubt Of the popular will

ton Of him and those Of his support
ers who have taken refuge in Indiana,
and an attempt at kidnapping them
has been discovered-and defeated
The scheme is to get them on Kentucky

hands of the partisan courts. for what
purpose and with what probable
result there can be no doubt, judging
by what has already been done in that
direction.
The mills of the gods grind slowly,
but they grind exceeding small" and
there is retribution in store for those
who have SO flaggrantly cheated the
will Of the people. and made the elec-
tive franchise a mockery and justice

has been solicited by friends in Ken

there is no doubt that should he run
there would be no uncertain result.
The vote for him would be so great that
no partisan court would dare to at
tempt to set It aside, for fear Of an up
rising Of the people. who have stood

ton. Many who have always trained
with the democratic party heretofore
are with Taylor in this matter, and
against Goebelism.

The only argument heard against
the ownership OF public electric light
plant is that the West Shore Mills
Company would lose its investment in
the present plant II the city went into
competition with It in the electric light
ing. 1t is urged, that is to say, that the
people are under some sort Of obilga-
ton to support the West Shore Mills
Company and have no right to emancl-
pate themselves from that obligation
by building and operating their own
plant, But let us see what eonclu-
sion such an argument irrestibly leads
to. II the people. after having CEN
trlbuted in the rates paid for years
past the Interest as well as principal
invested by the West Shore Mills Com
pany in the old. worn-out plant, are
to be placed under fresh obligations
to rebuild that plant for that company,
when. in all good conscience, is that
condition of slavery or subserviency to
end? viii the West Shore Mills COM
pany be any the more inclined to can
Gel its claims upon the city when it
has completed the new plant with the
peoples money than 1t is today with
the old plant, for which the people
have paid? Then, again. it win be re-
called that the president Of the COM
pany openly asserted at the last meet
ing OF the water commission that his
company had bought out the gas COM
pany in order to stop competition IN
the light business. In other words,
after having put out one competitor
1t is looked upon as hardship that |
1t should not be allowed to enjoy its
hoped-for monopoly in the light busi-
ness. Another feature Of this pecu-
liar plea of the light company, and |
an additional reason why the peo-
pie should be freed from its domin-
ion. is the fact that the consumers of
electric light are being taxed to pay
interest and capital borrowed to buy
out the gas company. Not content
with substituting a monopoly for what
was once open competition in the fur
of light to the people. the West
Shore Mills Company is proposing to
compel the people in the rates it now
wants to charge in an unobstructed
field to pay enough for both it's gas
works and build it new electric light
plant besides.
