has been ngitatod aud it has finally come before tho council for ac tion As to whether it is a good plan for a city to owu aud operate an electric lght plant is a question that has us many sides to it as there are cities which havo gone into the business Some have made it n successful venture others havo succeeded to a greater or less de gree whilo somo towns which own such enterprises aro paying more for the lighting of their streets than if they wore patronizing a private compauy ns Norfolk has been doing One thiug is solf ovidont Norfolk needs more lights ou the streets than she has ever had and the opinion of tho special committeo appointed from tho council to investi gate this matter seems to be that it would be profitable for tho city to go into tho oleotric lightiug busiuoss Arguing from this standpoint theu the proposition of the Norfolk Electric Light aud Power company is certainly oue that should be given earnest con sideration The company proposes to sell its plant to the city nt a valuation to be fixed by two disinterested appraisers aud if they cauuot agree upon the price then thoy are to call iu a third aud the decisiou of the three as to what the city shall pay is to be final Nothing can be fairer than this The company un doubtedly realizes that if the city erects a new plant the competition will seri ously affect its business aud curtail its revenues But while this is true of the company it is also true of the city If the city puts iu a second plant it must uot bo thought for a moment that the old company will abandon its business here because it has so much invested that its stockholders cauuot afford to do so A fight between the olty and the corporation would undoubtedly result in the consumer getting light at a very low rate aud yet it would uot be busi ness for tho oity to furnish a commodity at less than cost auy more than it would bo for au iudiuidual to do so because iu the one case tho stockholders would have to suffer the loss and iu the other tho tax payers would foot tho bills There is another reason why the proposition of tho company Bhould be considered in a spirit of fairness aud that is that originally 10 enterprising citizeus put their money into nu elec tric light plant so that Norfolk should be up with tho times While there aro ouly about 14 stockholders iu the com pauy at this time thoy are all citizeus of Norfolk and it would be au act of injustice to arbitrarily deprive them of n egitimate business whioh they have timed through iuvestiug their time aud money nt least uot uutil it has beeu proven that they will uot do what is right aud fair by the city Tub News has for a long time been a believer iu city ownership of public utilities aud still thinks that if they cau be operated economically that iu most cases the public would be better served but it cau see no reasou for erect ing a uew electrio light plant iu Norfolk iu face of the proposition of the electrio light company If we are going into the lightiug business let us uot do it at the expense of a portion of our citizeus as woll as ourselves but let us go iuto it iu a business like maimer By getting the old plant out of the way the city would have a free field to draw from aud that without competition If it is the iuteutiou of the council to have city owuership certaluly uo fair minded man would sanction iguoriug the propo sition of the Nofolk Eleutric Light and Power company 0PIWI0H0 HAYS Conventions Meet to Name Congressional Candidate ABOUT UNANIMOUS FOR ROBINSON Democrat Meet In Mitrttiitrll lliitl mill Iliiuillntn

00 Mr Bryan may be expected to vote the republican ticket this fall if his logic is worth a sou When recently lu Ohi cago this wonderful statesman said in speaking of the republican party It will talk prosperity of course but well bo willing to take all tho peoplo who have not had their share of prosperity and leavo them the votes of the people who have had their share The State Journal has statistics to show that Mr Bryan must be oue of the latter uuless ho wauts to play the ice trust act The assessment returns made by the assessor of the Fifth ward in Liucolu in which Mr Brynu has resided for some eight years show that in 1S00 when he was trying to save the country from the gold bugs his persoual property was assessed at 270 Iu 1900 the same re turns show that this property had in creased uuder four years of Mcltinley prosperity to 1 550 or in other words tho value of his personal property in four years has increased to nearly 17 times as much as in 1800 This rate of increase would be quite satisfactory to one of plutocratic mold let aloue one of the great commou people It looks sus piciously like Mr Bryan had been tiuk eriug with some kind of ttust to make that rate of increase from the commou people who have uot received their share A rate of 1700 per cent in four years would astonish the most rapa cious trust In his write up of the First Battle Col Bryan said that he preferred two tails to his kite in 1806 and it is possible that he would be favorable to two vice presidential candidates this year one represent up the democrats and one the populists It seems that it is impossible to secure a mau for second place whose mind is broad enough to contain all the principles of both parties with the free silver republican party tossed in on top for good measure Bryan has the ouly mind in the country capable of taking all the principles theories and vagaries of three political parties and at the same time keep it at the proper bal ance to lean toward the right party at the propitious moment His is a won derful miud and no mistake Several of the old staudbys and land marks of the campaign of 1800 are uow either totally forgotten or completely ignored For instance Coin Harvey and his Financial school Altgeld of Illinois the parity between wheat aud silver gold bugs etn In fact al most everything that the populists brought iuto tho campaign has been aud is beiug completely ignored iu order to placate the gold domocrats Now dout all you democrats who have said nice things about Governor Roosevelt insist on voting for him The republicans do not waut the thing en tirely unanimous There is more fuu with a little opposition It would probably be unfair to assume that the wlud in evidence iu Norfolk this morning was that which escaped from
