Village Election,

The village election is drawing near
and will take place on Tuesday March
18th.
So far very little has been said rela-
tive to a candidate for mayor. There
does not appear to be manylaspirants
although there lie salary of $500 at
tached to the Office. The present
officers have conduced the affairs of
the village creditably, and so far as
known with as little criticism as is
usual.
The village finances now reach a
large amount and every one agrees
that it needs men possessed of good
judgment in this line in preference to
all other qualifications, to properly
handle the business of the village.
AS to the license question we be-
lieve the village would be better off
without the saloon, in the hands of
fearless m n who would enforce the
law without hesitancy. While by the
license system there may be few
dollars placed in the treasury, yet it
is draw n from the individual treasury
and untold anguish enters the life
of those who contribute to the sup
port of the saloon, also the friends
and relatives of the contributors,
Another question, it is reported will
enter the election this year, that IS,
the location of the Burlington depot.
It is we'll known that the present
council absolutely refuesd to give up
any of the street along the the lake
for depot grounds and the new coun-
Gil should be men of the same opinion.
Every citizen of our village desires
to see the Burlington people erect a
depot, as the" have promised, but
they do net wish to surrender the
street rights wl'rn it can be avoided,
and especially when not necessary as
it is in the present case. The COM
pany can so arrange their tracks and
grounds for depot without interfer-
ing with the street at the foot of 3rd
avenue, where they SO desre to build,
or.there are other locations that are
not far distant from that, that are just
as suitable. This should be borne in
mind in selecting the candidates for
the council.

The deal with Andrew Carnegie

The deal with Andrew Carnegie
is not yet complete. Negotiations
are under way. If consummated,
Carnegie will receive $l30, 600, 900,
not in cash, but in guaranteed S
per cent. bonds. Carnegie will
then be the richest man in the
world. The whole deal involves an
outlay of $390,000,0 ,00O-the largest
commercial transaction on record.
The acceptance of bonds will pre-
vent any pinch in the money mar.
ket. One provision of the proposed
sale is very wise. The minority

receive the same amount .as Car

The commercial situation is con-
sidered favorable because there is
frmness in the iron and steel
market, and the amount of pro-
duce exported during the week is
larger than at the corresponding
period last year, and the prices
are somewhat higher. The only
unfavorable feature of the week is
that commercial failures are larger
than for the corresponding period
