And There Was Light.

After having been cut out for three weeks, the electric lights were turned on Monday night. and were surely welcomed after the use of coal oil in their stead. The people never knew how to appreciate the electric lights until they were turned of. and from now on will sing praises instead of cussing.
 This shutdown was the first. and in fact, the only time. when the lights were out for more than fifteen or twenty minutes at time since City Electrician Chilner took charge Of the plant something over year ago The accident was unavoidable and could not have been prevented by any human agency. MT. Chilner did all in his power to hurry the parts. which were needed to make the re- pairs, and, finally, they began to ar rive last Friday morning, and from that time until Monday evening, Adolph, and Egbert Holland. the ef- heient engineer. and the other assist ants worked day and night 10 get the big generator together, and Monday night the juice was switched on. and sound of thanksgiving went up to the blue skies. and coal oil lamps, tallow dips, pine knot torches. etc. |, were relegated to the background, and our friend, Adolph took on cherubic smile that promises to become peren- nial.
 The light plant force. however, was not idle during the shut down. and quite lot of repair work and clean ing up was done. The engine and boilers were given a thorough oyer- hauling. the wheel pit, (in which the ny wheel and driving belt from en- zine to dynamo runs) was lined with concrete, concrete laid in front of the fire doors in the boiler room, and the machinery given a general over hauling.
 The accident demonstrates the fact that the plant should have another dynamo or al least, duplicate parts to be held in reserve for such occur renceS.

Perhaps it is not extraordinary that
the railroad managers of the United
States should manifest in every petty
and picayune way their hostility to the
Democratic party. That party stands
pledged to such methods of railroad
regulation as will protect the shipper
and the traveller against the extortions
of overcapitalized corporations. And
yet, after all, it does seem strange that
the railroads should adopt so trivial a
method of reprisal as denying to the
people who wished to attend the notifi-
cation day ceremonies at Lincoln,
Neb., the benefits of reduced rates
Chairman Norman E. Mack kept in
constant communication with Mr. F..
E. Mcleod, who is chairman of the
Western Passenger association, and as
a final result Mr.. Mcleod announced
that ''since local passenger fares in the
state of Nebraska have been reduced
from 3 to . cents mile no reduction
therefrom has been made for any gath
ering in that state" This would have
been statement more important had
1t been true. Mr.. Mack promptly re-
sponded by sending clipping from a

association was making a rate of ~

Especial Washington Correspondence of

Separated by the brief space of one
city block and both fronting on Chica-
1go's finest street, Michigan boulevard,
are the headquarters of the two great
national parties. The Democrats this
year are in the Auditorium Annex,
where only few years ago the Repub-
licans were installed. The Republicans
are in the Harvester building, and cap
tious critics are very much inclined to
say that it is characteristic of the party
of trusts and monopolies that,it ma
tional headquarters should be in the
building owned by the harvester trust,
the trust which more than all others
draws its substance and its profit from
the farmer. That may be an unfair
criticism, because it is hard to tell now
