 It was suggested by Mayor McDowen that the city was paying for an cleo tric light system and was not getting the service it deserved. MT Mcdowell further stated that the greater DOT ton of the time the lights were so dim that they injured the eyes and were practically useless in lighting the streets. Citizens had long since re- fused to rely on them and had already installed lamps and candles in their homes. For a number of nights the city was in total darkness and he thought it was time some action should be taken to relieve the situation.

SING.-Thc first at tempt of the New

the names of women placed on the
poll registry was made on the 9th
inst, when fourteen women visited
the registration officers and tried in
vain to have their names placed upon
the official list of voters. The regis
try clerks. very properly, we think.
refused to assume the responsibility
of passing upon their eligibility. The
clerk duties are plainly ministerial
and prescribed 10y law. No disorder
accompanied the attempt, but the
women were followed by Il large
crowd of people who seemed to take
a lively interest in the proceeding.
1t was purely Il miSdirc ctcd effort to
appeal to those who could not accord
favorable action, if they would.
Every movement that is Ineffective

Is it surprising that the money
kings are able, under present con-
ditiOns, to buy the consciences of
men driven by dire necessity to ac-
cept of almost any proposition to
keep the wolf from the door, in the
larger cities? No, verify; nor is it a
wonder that, under this inceSsant
spur, all sight is lost of the fact that
it has been the lines of governmental
policy that have augmented the
wealth Of the rich and decreased the
holdings Of the poor while enhancing
the cost of every thing he eats, drinks
and wears, or that the support ac
corded in the late election serves tC
riyet still more firmly the shackle,
of dependence.

this paper has seen no good rca-
son for changing its conclusions.
The other proposed amendment
would work complete change in
our revenue system. Church PEG

is Joker in this piece of lcgisla

railroad property may be taxed on
one basis, and farming lands accord

whereas under the original law, all
property, except certain exemptions
unnecessary to note in this connec
ton. must be valued on the same
basis for taxable purpose.
