CARONDELET LIGHTING.

When the present contract for street lighting in
Carondelet terminates in February, the city ad-
ministration no doubt will have arranged for com
petition among the gas and naphtha service COM
panies. And this competition ought TO enable the
city to enter into a agreement whereby either
equal service Will be rendered at less expense or
better service at the same cost The administration
may be depended upon to do its best to COM
petition and to improve the service
It might be suggested that provisions should be
made for inviting and considering bids from the
electric lighting companies. Though there were no
intention Of accepting proposals for electric light
ing, 1t would seem advisable to invite them as
precauton and for statistical purposes. If the pro-
posals could not be invited under IN ordinance
specifying the candle-power a general require
ment. they could be procured by enacting special
electriclighting ordinance. The city, in inviting
bids from the electric companies, would be under no
obligation to accept any Of them.
1t is generally admitted by experienced officials
that the gas lamps provide better service in resi-
dence districts than do arc lamps The gas lamps
distribute the light better and illuminate the side
walks rather than the streets. Some officials con-
slider naphtha to be better iuminant than gas. 1t
is probably preferable to have either gas naphtha
lamps However It is still advisable to invite pro-
posals from the electric companies.
The administration adopts a commendable policy

WHY NOT ENFORCE THE LAW,


Again it becomes the unpleasant duty OF vigilant
Journalism to call attention to the pubc's bad
habit-that Of splitting at random. Is it something
less than public habit: Look at the downtown
sidewalks and observe the floor Of your street car.
Surely great number of persons are guilty of a
most disgusting careiessness.
law says that the individual shall not deposit
his mucous secretions in the street the side
walks and the floors of public meeting places; and
penalties the misdemeanor. There to be but
way TO the ndiscriminate splitter, and that
Is to enforce the law but there is only the faintest
pretense Of enforcement
Ten, twenty, forty, hundred arrests and fines
every day for n week would produce results. What
the laws for and what the police for?
This ordinance is being enforced In other cities
with the result that their sidewalks and street
and public places present decided contrast to
Ours could not be much worse without being q re-
Eectlon on st. Lous's decency. A persistent Chief
Of Police and few dutiful Justices of the Peace
or Police Judges can work much needed reform
in the appearance of St Louis and tremendously i'm

OLD NAMES. OLD GOVERNMENT.

Developments in local politics emphasize The Re-
publics warning that ST. Louis confronts Il serious
issue In the spring election Among the appontees
Of newly elected officials anon. the new local oi.
Gals and among tie newly elected members Of the
State Legislature the names Of active members
and Influential patrons OF the old Republican gang.
1t Is suggestive that the gangs workers thick
among the applicants for office. II mean
anything the respectable Kepublicans of st. Louis
have rs much cause has the genera: publ: 10
fear grave consequences.
What does the activity Of the gang signify: Un-
qucstonaby that the gang is confident is de-
crmined and is aggressive; unquestionably that tie
gang is hungry for the compensation. If not the
spols OF public Office: that the gang resolves to
fight for what II lost.
The continuation and expansion Of reform and
the preservation Of coed government not assured
unless the people defeat the gang al this clcc-
on. The gang Is routed. but it is broken: It
is desperate from the punishment which it has
ceived for four years. ticiied with rcmcrnrances
Of its recent income and power. and anxious about
the safety and comfort Of It's rabi members. The
gang has just enough strength. enough passion for
revenge and enough greed to make venonious
war.
This election is important to the cause of re-
form not less important than the elections of three
and four years ago. The preservation Of good gov
crnment is equally as important the institution
OF reform. Citizens who value the reputation OF
ST. Louis should take the names of appoiutces and
candidates subject for meditation good gov
crnment by good men If the old names in public
office mean the old govcrlment-and they hardly
mean anything better ii is time for strenuous action
The old names were heard too often in the past
and they have no connection with the New ST

UNION STATIONS.

What might be termed terminal epidemic
has broken out in the cities of the United States
New York is about to give up more than nineteen
blocks Of valuable property for terminals; Buffalo
is also preparing in connection with its railroad
interests to provide means by which all Of its
trains can enter one station. Kansas City has had
the epidemic for some time and many small Texas
cities are affected with the same complaint New
Orleans Is in the fashion.
The concentration Of nil traffic at point would
seem to have advantages far superior to those of
many depots scattered over a wide area There
are, however. claims Of advantages In the separate
stations
No less person than Jay Gould opposed the erec-
ton Of the Union Station at St Louis. Mr.. Gould
contended that in due process of time the traffic
to St Louis would be of such proportions that 1t
could not be handled at one place.
While the record of Union Station during the
Fair period disproves this assertion to marked de-
gree, It must be remembered that more than sSOOO-
600 was spent by the Terminal Association in pro-
viding tracks and facilities for handling this traffic
It is safe to assume that had the traffic to St
Louis been diverted TO several stations the agsre-
gate expenditures at these stations for facilities for
handling the Fair traffic would not have been S.
100000
With the expenditure Of this vast sum the
Terminal while not reaching its financial limita-
tons, has drawn very its physical possibilities
and II the st. Louis traffic continues to increase
II viii not be many years before another large out
lay, without commensurate improvement will be de-
manded; and SO on until more room can be OBJ
ained and of necessity other stations may have to
be provided.
This, Of course, is looking far into the future
much further than many now living will ever be-
hold but It is decidedly within the range Of posi-
blftes. Aside from the physical features It is fre
quently contended that combined terminal station
is injurious to the interests Of the city. It is argued
that many hundred travellers who have from three
TO four hours between trains would, IL compelled
80 to another station. visit places in the city, spend
money and thereby add to the city's revenue while
under the present conditions they content te
wait in the station.
This 10 one Of the chief reasons why a union
terminal station has never met with favor in Obi
cago
Il stations are situated in different sections OF
the city, he incoming visitor can take the train
