ficiency and great comparative cheap
ness of municipal' lighting, according
to the Tribune. Ever since 1883-the
city has owned En electric" plant for
lighting the Brooklyn bridge, and . it
Is found that this plant Is being main
tained and opei ated at an expense
which makes the cost of each arc light
on the bridge $58 annually, and each
incandescent lamp $10 annoually, com
pared 'With the $146 and $25 each, re
spectively, being charged the cily by
the private lighting, monopoly. This
Brooklyn bridge ghting plant more
overuses hard teal and pays its em
ployers higher wage3 than the private
lighting monopoiy which now holds the
city in its grasp.
The statehood bills have at last, after
these" many year3 of premises and
waiting, come to a vote in the senate.
They provide for two states only, New
Mexico and Arizona to be one, and the
Indian Territory and Oklahoma to con
stitute another. The matter is, to be
submitted to the voters in New Mexico
and Arizona and if both territories do
not agree to maKe one state out of
the two,then the thing is oft. The bill
for the admittance of Oklahoma and
the Indian Territory prohibits the sale
of intoxicating liquors for twenty-one
years and forever after thatrunless the
people vote to do away vvith the pro
hibition.' '
That senatorial fight stiil goes on in
Missouri with no prospect of a termi
nation." Neidrinfhaus got the caucus
nomination of the republican party and
. insists that the members of the legis
lature must be "regular" and vote 'er
straight, or not have a senator at all.
' The action of the house cn the prop
osition to regulate rates, stop dis
criminations and rebates 13 just what
one would expect" from this congress.
A bill has been prepared that does not
amount? 'to a hill, of beans" and is to
be puiythrough the house under t the
old Reed rules. No amendment will be
aliowand-the billys to go through
ju3t a it has been prepared. Some lit
tle time has been allowed for debate, so
that .railroad congressmencan jnake
themselves solid with their constitu
ents by' circulating a their speeches
among them under a free frank. In
these speeches thsy will rake the rail
road craft frojn stem to stern and punc
ture the old hulk fuller of holes than a
sieve. "7 But nothing will be done to
curb theTapacity of the railroad cor
porations. After the bill is passed with
a whoop and;a .yell, tit, will go over to
the senate and never appear again.
That is the sum total of what this con
gress will da about rebates and rates
on, the V railroads; '. The" "fine t speeches
made, will keep - all tJhe mullet heads in
line, and theywill march ..up ' to the
polls and v voteer straight ' as usual.
Then after the election, they will howl
about the railroad corporations in the
old way and the pops will look on and
laugh.
- The deficit amounts to over $0,000,000
for last month, and $28,600,000 for the
fiscal year to date, compared ' with a"
surplus for the same time last year of
$1,640,000. Taxeaf have not been re
duced, and are yielding well ; it is the
expense account-which is. doing the
business. And that militarism which
the president makes merry over is re
sponsible for thes welling expense ac
count. -
A correspondent of the London
Times who has ben on the Isthmus in
vestigating affairs?, asserts - that the
army of the" Panama republic consists
of twenty officers and three" privates.
The Panama army is a world-beater in

The superintendent of the municipal
lodging house in New York saysjnat
there are 40 per cent more idle men in
the city than at this time last year;
and'the superintendent of the Bowery
mission, in a letter to the New York
Sun, says that his experience not only
confirms this, but justifies him in say

so many idle men In the city at one

The conspiracy of the corporations
and' public' utility companies out , in
Colorado to seat Peabody, who was de
feated by about 10,000 majority, seems
to, be collapsing. The plan was to
throwv out ninety precincts in Denver
which gave large Adams majorities and
to do that certain writing experts were
called in and given the ballot boxes.
The "experts" picked out from these
ballot boxes hundreds of I allots which
they, declared were fraudulent and writ
ten by one man, and the plan wa3 to
throw out alL these precincts and de
clare Peabody elected. The Adams men
have taken these so-callec fraudulent
ballots and sent for the voters who
have come in by the score, picked out
their ballots from those deciared fraud
ulent, and testifies under oath that
they were the ballots that they cast
This has gone to so great an extent
that the "experts" are a laughing stock
and the whole scheme seems to be on
the point of collapsing. . ,
The Nebraska rouse passed the bill
aimed at the" Christian Scientists. It
is simply a freak piece of legislation
that is a disgrace to every man who
voted for it. Wherever that sort of pa
ternalism has been tried if has been a
failure. The courts would never stand
for it: The idea ttat this nest of rail
road agents at i he Nebraska capital
should undertake to direcc the citizens
of Nebraska what kind of religion they
shall practice and what kiad of healing
agencies shall be ; denied is going
to the extreme in paternalism. ' This is
a free country ani no man can be en
forced to take drugs by law. If he
wants to die or get well without drugs,
that is his .inalienable right. Presi
dent Schurman of Cornell university
said in a speech last week: "We have
today our Christian Science and our
faith cure, by means of which we see
one man - exerting , great powers over
both the minds end bodies of others.
Who can say what great influence
Jesus Christ mignt not have ; had in
tionformity even with the laws of na
ture over the binds and bodies of
men?"
There seems to be a tig row on
among the socialists,- Last week's Ap
peal to Reason was wholly given over
to it. It appears that some socialist
connected' with tha national headquar
ters has issued a pamph;et giving a
history of Wayland and his paper. It
is shown that the office A'as run for a
long time as a scab office, a regular
"sweat shop" as Ricker Eays. Then
there was a'striko or a walk out, then
some sort of a fix up and all the hands
went back. Now appears that Way
land, who is getting old, has been deed
ing his property to hi3 children instead
of making a common fund out of it as
was promised and expected. Another
charge is that JWayland has been en
gaged in "cut threat competition" with
the other socialist papers, sending out
his paper at 25 cents a year when he
ought to have charged SO cenjs or a
dollar and have given the papers of
small circulation a chance. There are
some other charges about printing dis
creditable advertisements. ; In connec
tion with this, a socialist paper printed
in Seattle, annoui-ces that it will re
move to Toledo, Ohio, its announce
ment begins with the following signifi
cant sentences: "The ne'a for a so
cialist paper that will act both as an

The Standard Oil multi-millionaire,
Lockhart of Pittsburg undertook to cut
off one of his daughters with a few
thousand becaus3""she married against
his will. Then it was ai'nounced in
the other papers that the other sons
and daughters had generously agreed
to divide the estate equally among all
the children. The facts are tbat the
disenherited daughter, Mrs. Flower, be
gan a suit which would have brought
the whole matter into court. As soon
as Rockefeller heard of that, he rushed
his confidential agents to Pittsburg to
have the thing stopped. It was repre
sented 10 the hejrs that if that thing
got into court and the means by which
this fortune was accumulated wa3 pub
lished just at this time when the peoplo
were excited abon; trusts, It might end
in dissipating the whole fortune and do
inculculable damage to all the Stand
ard Oil interests everywhere. The re
sult of it wa3 that Mrs.l Flower got
$30,000,000 turned over to her and the
suit was dismissed.
