Newport weekly independent., 1901-05-30

So much for the editor, who uses scissors, for the candidate who re- ,ceived F votes in his own ward, for the politician, who when campaigning " carried his platform in his hip pocket" the INDEPENDENT quits the subject. Newspaper controversies are not relished by their readers, moreover this paper has no love for them, but goaded to one reply, we dismiss for once and all any further recognition of these attacks, animated by the jealousy of decadent contem- porary.
 The INDEPENDENT wants the news not scraps. It hopes to serve the pulp lie i'll the legitimate field of a newspa- per, to merit confidence by it's meth- ods and receive support on it's record. Matters of interest and moment to the citizens of Newport will be treated in our columns but not the animosities of editors.

MAY TRY GASOLINE
AMERICAN DEVELOPMENT COM
PANY TO BID FOR CITY
LIGHTING CONTRACT
KEEN COMPETITION ASSURED
specifications VIII Be Drafted With
view of Inducing Rival Com
panies to Bid Against
Each Other.

The American Development company,
ro5,, ond for several years holding the
gasoline lamp contract in st. Paui, prom
ises to he an active competitor OF the
ST. Paul Gas Lighting company When
the bids are opened the frst OF the COM
ing year.
The elimination of the Pickering gas
l;obt in favor of the ilcandescent gaso-
line lamp. an improvement lately intro
dlIced in st. Paul, promises to be an
innovation realized at an early date, and
in order to bring the change as soon as
possible. or secure rates commensurate
with the quality of the light, the light
ing specifications this year are to be
drafted somewhat differently.
In making the specifications DIGS Will
be called, first, for lighting the city
with electric light, second, with gas, ana
third. with incandescent gasoline lamps.
In second set of bids required gas and
gasoline will be pitted against each other
for the entire control OF the districts in
which both at present predominant.
The city is at present spending nearly
sligo. a. year for street lighting, which
the board of public works is trying to
have increased. Just now the American
Development company, like the st. Paul
Gas Lighting company, Is alone In its
particular field, but IN view of the large
sum to be distributed TINS year, there Is
a probability that it also may have op-
position. OF late a number Of outside
concerns have been writing to the au-
thorities for Information
Citv Engineer ClauSSen last year made
a bid for an appropriation for municipal
lighting nlant, but he says he has now
given the project up. The conference
committee does not take kindly to the
application for a sufficient appropriation

ON FASTER SCHEDULE
ROCK ISLAND REDUCES TIME BE-
TWEEN OMAHA AND CHICAGO
Northwestern and Rock Island VIII
Cover the Distance in Twelve
Hours and Forty
Minutes.

Following the announcements Of the
slashing of time between the Twin Cities
and Chicago comes the news that the
ruDring time between Omaha and the
Windy City is to be shortened by one
hour. Now. it is the Rock Island that
is the leader in the fast-time movement.
Beginning next Sunday the Omaha
limited train of the Rock Island will de-
part from Chicago at 7:45 p. M, and will
arrive in Omaha at $50 a. M, covering
the distance in twelve hours and forty
minutes.
This places the Rock Island and the
Northwestern on a par in time sched-
ules between the two cities. The Bur-
lihgton, Milwaukee & ST. Paul and Hi.
nois Central are still operating under
their old schedules, but they, too, will
undoubtedly reduce to the time of their
two competitors.

WOULD BUY A PLANT
CLAUssEN WILL ASK CONFERENCE
COMMITTEE FOR $4,000 FOR
SPRINKLING PURPOSES
CONTRACT PLAN EXPENSIVE
With Municipal Ownership of Wag-
Ons and Teams $4,000 Will
he Sufficient for the
City's Needs.
CONTRACT PLAN EXPENSIVE

City Engineer Claussen's long cherished
Scheme of a municipal sprinkling plant
will see. partial realization tomorrow when
the conference committee will be asked
to include in the general fund 5000 for
the purchase of an equipment of wagons
and teams.
Under the present charter the expendi-
ture for sprinkling each year is limited
TO SAC, coo, an amount totally inadequate,
Mr.. Claussen says, when it is taken into
consideration that the area of improved
streets is increasing each year and the
demands by property owners along them
more eXacting.
Just now the sprinkling is done by con-
tract, but if the $4,000 addition to the
general fund is made Mr.. Claussen pro-
poses to invest this amount in about
seventy modern. sprinkling wagons, using
the $4,000 provided for in the charter in
hiring men and teams to work them DUR
ing the season. Where less than one
half of the city is sprinllled under the
contract system he is confident that
double the amount would be provided
for were the city to own its own plant
Because of an exhausted fund, Mr.. Clans
sen stopped sprinkling the 18th of last
month, retaining a small portion of it
for use in the business district until snow
fell. This, however, is not available, and
in consequence stores are deluged with
filth from dry streets.
Before the new charter came into eff
feet, the cost of sprinkling was provided
for by assessment on the property bene-
flied, but now the entire city pays the
cost, and in consequence the council
men are deluged with requests from their
constituents that their particular streets
be given attention. Over one-half of the
requests this year had to be turned down
because the amount Of money available
would not begin to pay the cost.

SEE BREAKERS AHEAD
CITY OFFICIALS DESIRING AMEND
MENTs TO CHARTER ARE
GETTING WORRIED
ELECTORATE MUST DECIDE
Two Thirds Majority of All Votes
Cast Difficult to Secure
May Appeal to the
Legislature.

Heads of city departments at present
hunting the charter commission with Pc
titionS for charter amendments are view
ing with anything but pleasure and sat
isfaction the news that amendments can
only be secured by Endorsement by not
less than tWo-thirds of the entire vote
cast at the spring election.
At the least calculation, if all the de-
partments succeed in impressing on the
commission the desirability and neces-
sity of their needs. there will be no
fewer than twenty-five different amend
ments, the printing of which on the DILL
cial ballot will make it almost a circus
poster in size. Each of these, if satisfac-
tory to the voter, will necessitate the use
of the regulation blue pencil cross; a
job likely to be passed by when the
voter views his ballot Should all the
amendments be viewed in the same light,
the work OF the commission is likely to
come to naught.
Few people," said an official yester-
day, realize what it is to secure APP
prevail from two thirds of the voting
population of st. Paul, especially if the
object to oe attained is one they have
little interest III personally or are not
conversant with.
Unless it be special election for the
consideration of charter amendments,
by the legal department in direct appeal
to the legislature. Here, says Assistant
Corporation Attorney Griggs, lies the so
luton of the difficulty. The right of a
city to secure legislation for its particu-
lar interests, commonly called class leg
islation, found substantial Endorsement
by the supreme court last week when it
declared perfectly valid the law permit
ting st. Paul and other cities of $4,000
population and more the right to con-
denim lands for market site purposes.
Judge Kelly, of the district court, held
the law to be class legislation.
'"That decision" Mr.. Griggs said yes
terday, means much to st. Paul, for it
will permit us to go before the legisla-
ture and secure needed reforms that are
now denied. All that is required is the
assistance of Minneapolis and the object
can be attained. Here also lies a solution
of the difficulty in securing amendments
to the charter. The Legislature can make
the correction provided other cities of
our size do not object.

Ernest Seton-ThOmpsOn to Lecture
This week.
Ernest Thompson will lecture
Friday night at the Peoples church at
the opening number of the Y. M. c. A.
course. In the afternoon at $3.50 he will
deliver a lecture also at the Peoples
church, which is free to all children of
Sc. Paul. The church will be darkened,
and the stereopticon will be used the
same as for the evening lecture.
1t is the gift of but few lecturers to
interest children and grown UP folks
equally, but Mr.. Ernest Seton-Thompson
has this charming faculty. The little ones
in his audiences sit with GREATNESS at
tention as he relates his experiences in
Yellowstone Park with the bears; and
Old Grumpy and Little Johnny are GER
tain to live in their memories for many
a day.
From the grown-ups' point of view the
account of the long hunt of the old gray
wolf, whose wit for many months sue
cessfully matched mans and whose fate
came at last so pathetically and so sad
" like that of many a human downfall
gave fresh insight into this romancer's
keen sympathy with all life, and his gift
of portraying in exquisite coloring the
wonderful humanness of even the shay
giest, most uncouth wild thing.
