Swept the Country.

Well the securing job is over,
with as rough a scrub broom as
Roosevelt, and the amount of Gold
dust used. Mr.. Bryan, not school
ed in the securing business we are
not surprised at the result. The
Republicans failed in the 9th Dis
trict for the reason that they un-
dertoOk the job with an old scrub
broom that was WON out The
Democrats went to work with a
clean map and plenty of old time
common sence. soft soap aud hat
notes and hence the result. The
lesson for our friends to learn is
that gold dust was only Intended
for the more filthy places aud that
ao old broom is not the thing
wanted.

The Close of the EXPOSITION

The Paris Exposition of 1900 was
formally closed last Monday. The
government. for good reasons, resist
the importantly of interested parties
to keep it open fer a longer time.
Many of the buildings on the exposi
ton grounds were temporary struc-
lures hastily built, and though they
answered the purpose for which they
were inten led, it is feared they could
not resist the effect Of the elements
during the approaching winter.
Therefore, the work of demolition

enect 10 the Chlcago's Worlds Fair.
The pecuniary success has not been
commensurated with the expecta-
tons of the projectors. The English
took but little part in the great show
being allenaSed by national hostility
OF the french and especially by the
insulting caricatures of the Queen.
Still the exposition has done much
Tor the advancement of commerce
and the discrimination Of useful ideas.
The American exhibits in particular
demonstrated the superiority of TIE
United States in the mechanical arts
and useful inventions, and the effect
is likely to be seen in an increased
foreign demand for American goods,

Washington, Nov. 16,-The opinion
is growing among public men who

congressional representation of the
Southern States on account of the
charges of the Acknowledgement of

said to be opposed to reviving i'll

result of a bill thus touching the

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER %, 1900.
The Electric Light Plant and
Street Car Line.

The question as to wheth sr or not
the town shall buy the Electric light
plant or not, is now engaging the at
tention of the town council, and Is,
of course. of more than ordinary in
terest to our people. A correspond
ent in our last issue, writing on the
subject said, that IF the town does
not buy the plant it will either close
down or rates must be materially
increased" which seems to mean
that the plant is to be closed down
The Company have already increas-
ed the price about 20 per cont over
first rates fixed, and if these prices
are to be raised large number of
our people will be compelled to do
away with the lights for the reason
that they cannot afford to take them.
This means that unless the town
buys the lights, or some one else
comes in and buys them, we must go
back TO the old kerosene lamp on
the street, as we'll as in our houses.
Can tie town afford to buy the plant
and run it at figure which will en-
able the people to use them, and at
the same time pay the interest on
the investment? At a rough guess
we would say, that 80 per cent. or
at most 33 per cent increase over the
first rates, would pay 6 per cent on
the Investment, and pay running ex-
penses, and give the town their
lights at about or less than one half
what they cost under the present
arrangement. The citizens of the
town would more willingly pay on
advanced rate on each light if they
knew that such advance went into q
sinking fund to be used in liquidat-
ing the principal. 1t is clear that
the town, owing the plant, cab fur
nish lights cheaper even than we arc
getting them now, and the question
is, can we afford to buy them at all
is the population of the town large
enough to justify electric lights7
We suggest that the Street Ca
Company buy the plant, and by suit
able changes in the machinery, which
can be made at small cost furnish
the town with lights, and at the SAM
time run the cars This seems
natural and reasonable thing to sng
gest and for a town with even
minimum of public spirit, it woul,
be a popular thing. But we ar
easy going. We are not progressiv
Our town is about as large as W
care to have it, and nothing may b
done either way.
Something ought to be done-som
steps ought to be, aud must be t,
ken, or else we may lose both electri
lights and street Car line. 1t look
now, land we know what we al tall
ing about, as though the town wi
lose both.
