has been agitated nud it has finally cotno boforo the council for ac tion As to whether it is a good plan f r a city to own aud operate an electric 1 ght plant Is a question that has ns many sides to It ns there are cities which havo gone into tho business Some havo made it a successful venture others havo succeeded to a greater or less de gree while sonio towns which own such onterprisos aro paying more for the lighting of their streots than if they woro patronizing a privnte compnuy ns Norfolk has been doing One thing is self ovidout Norfolk needs more lights on tho streets than sho has ever had and the opinion of tho special committee appointed from the council to investi gate this mutter soanis to be that it would be profitable for tho city to go into tho electric lighting busiuoss Arguing from this standpoint then the proposition of the Norfolk Electric Light aud Power company is certainly ouo that should be given earnest con sideration Tho company proposes to sell its plant to the city at a valuation to be fixed by two disinterested appraisers aud if they cannot agree upon the price then they are to call iu a third aud the decision of the three as to what the city shall pay is to lie final Nothing can be fairer than this The company un doubtedly realizes that if the city erects a now plant the competition will serf ously affect its business and curtail its rovouues But while this is truo of the company it is also true of the city If tho city puts in a second plaut it must not bo thought for a moment that the old company will abandon Its business bore because it has so much invested that its stockholders cannot afford to do so A fight between the city and the corporation would undoubtedly result in the consumer getting light nt a very low rate aud yot it would uot be busi uess for tho city to furnish a commodity nt less than cost auy moro than it would be for an iudiuidual to do so because iu the one case the stockholders would havo to suffer tho loss and in the other the tax payers would foot the bills There is anothor reason why the proposition of tho company should be considered in a spirit of fairness nud that is that originally 1 eutorprisiug citizens put their mouey into an elec tric light plant so that Norfolk should be up with the times While there aro only about 14 stockholders iu the com pany at this time they are all citizens of Norfolk aud it would be an act of injustice to arbitrarily deprive them of a egitimate business whioh they have nrned through investiug their time aud money at least not until it has been proven that they will not do what is right and fair by the city Thk News has for a long time been a believer in city ownership of public utilities aud still thinks that if they can be operated economically that In most cases the public would be better served but it can see no reason for erect ing a new electric light plnut iu Norfolk iu face of the proposition of the eleotrio light company If we are going into the lightiug business let us not do it at the expense of a portion of our citizens as woll as ourselves but let us go iuto it iu a busiuess like manner 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 certainly no fair minded man would sanction ignoring the propo sition of the Nyfolk Eleotrio Light aud Power company IHWI Ml Conventions Meet to Name Congressional Candidate ABOUT UNANIMOUS FOR E0BINS0N Untnnrmlit Mnot In Mnrinnnlt Hull mul riiulltn In thn

expected to vote the republican ticket this fall if his logic is worth a sou When recently In Chi 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 uot had their share of prosperity and leavo them the votes of tho people who have had thoir shire The State Journal has statistics to show that Mr Bryau must be one of the latter unless ho wants to play the ice trust act The assessment returns made by the assessor of the Fifth ward in Lincoln in which Mr Bryan has resided for some eight years show that iu 1890 when he was trying to save the country from the goia uugs ins personal property wns a seised at 270 Iu 1900 the samo re turns show that this property had in creased under four years of McKinley prosperity to 1550 or in other words the value of his personal property in four years has increased to nearly 17 times as much as in 1890 This rate of increase would be quite satisfactory to oue of plutocratic mold let alone one of the great common people It looks sus piciously like Mr Bryan had been tink ering with some kind of ttust to make that rate of increase from the common people who have not 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 189G aud it is possible that he would be favorable to two vice presidential candidates this year one represent ng the democrats and one the populists It seems that it is impossible to secure a man 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 only 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 loan toward the right party at the propitious moment His is a won derful miud and no mistake Several of the old etandbys and land marks of the campaign of 1896 are now 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 into the campaign has been aud is being completely ignored iu order to placate the gold democrats Now dont all you democrats who have said nice things about Governor Roosovelt insist on voting for him The republicans do not waut the thing en tirely unanimous There is more fun with a little opposition It would probably be uufair to assume that the wind in evidence in Norfolk this morning was that which escaped from the fusion
