COUNCIL COMMITTEE
CONSIDERS LIGHTING

A tthe meeting of the council COM
mittee on gas this afternoon three
important matters were under consider
alton: Alderman G. A. Westphal's
proposition to issue 81 100000 Of bonds
for the purchase Of the plant: of the
inneapolis Gas: Light. company's plant;
Alderman F. H. Castner's proposition to
advertise for lamp hehads with mean
descent attachments, and the PROPOSE
ton of lighting the streets of the civ
afer June l.
The bond proposition does not find
much favor among the aldermen at this
time as they believe that there are
other important public improvements
which should receive attention first.
Many of the aldermen are in favor of
the city taking charge Of the gas light
ing and are inclined to favor the pur-
chase of about 5000 lampheads, if the
means can be provided. E e;
There is hardly: anything else that; the
council can do about the street lighting,
other than ia readvertise for bids for
electric, gas and incandescent lightin,
as the city attorney holds that the pro-
posals received last fall are not bind
ing on any Of the three companies.

THE IOWA PLATFORM.

I'VE are uncompromisingly in fav'
or of the American system of protect
ion. Duties on foreign imports
should not be levied for revenue only,
but should be so adjusted as to pro.
mote our domestic interests, enlarge
our foreign markets, secure remuner-
alive prices for the PRODUCTS of our
factories and farms and maintain the
superior scale of wages and standard
of living for American labor. Wise
and unselfish tariff laws maintained
in the interest of general welfare,
equally opposed to. foreign control
and domestic monopoly, are essential
to our commercial and our industrial
prosperity. We believe all inequali-
ties in tariff schedules which newt
ably arise from changing industrial
and commercial conditions should be
adjusted from time to time; and con-
demning without reserve all assaults
upon the protective system, we favor
such reasonable and timely changes
as will keep the tariff In harmony with
our industrial and commercial pro-
gress. We favor the reciprocity in
augurated by Blaine and advocated
by Mckinley and Roosevelt, as recoe-
nized in republican platforms.
