[t indeed, a beautiful custom, quite as suggestive of senti- men of practical considerations, and more than ono poet has Hund in it a theme for hismuse. It has been said of theresolufion that brought about Arbor day that it “has had a greater influence than any other unsanc- tioned by legislative anthovity.” of the ¢ Bow bor we aska has been s) heen a3 such action COST OF STREET LIGHTING, The Board of Public Works of Kansas City having 1 by a resolu- tion of the council to inquire into the subject of municipal ownership of stree lighting plants, has made a report which decidedly favors city control of that service. Street lighting now costs the city nearly $70,000 per year, but a lead- ing electric lighting company offers to construet a plant, run it for three years at $100,000 a year, and then turn it over to the city free of charge. It is consid- ered likely that a more favorable offer than this could be secured and that the city eould get its electric lighting plant at the end of three years fora very lit- tle more than it is now paying. Great intevest is manifested in this subject in every important city in the country. Investigation shows that in every city where municipal ownership obtains the cost of street lighting is greatly reduced, and in Philadelphia where the city makes its own light and furnishes electric light to private citi- zens, the municipality derives handsome profits, while the rates are eonceded be reasonable and the service satisfac- tory. The eity elerk of Peoria has made a tabulated statement showing the con- tract price paid for electric arelights ina large number of cities. The average contract price for so-called 2,000-candle power ave lights is $137 per annum per lanp. In cities that provide light and own their plants the average cost is $45.75 per arc light per annum. These figures show a saving of 663 per cent in all cities that own and control electric lighting plants. This fact is certainly worthy the at- tention of the people of Omaha. At a fair estimate the cost of lighting the streets of this city the present year will bo nearly 870,000, of which amount the eleetrie lighting contractor will receive not Iassthan $31,000. The growth of the eity will, of course, make it necessary to inerease the annual cost of streot light- ing. If, for the amount paid anaually to private contractors, the city can pro- vide double the number of lamps under a system of municipal ownership it will require little argument to ¢ mvinee the people of the feasibility of such a meas- wre, been instru 1 to SENSIBLY SOUTHERN GOVERNORS. The recent convention of southern governors at Richmond for the purpose of promoting immigration und other in- terests of the south was in some respects a notanle gathering. It was remarka- ble in the fiest place for its deliberate and determined exclusionof all politic and sectional questions in the discussion of the varions matters that came up for consideration. The only attempt to di- vort the attention of the delegates to questions of that nature was mado by Governor PFishback of Arkansas, who wished to obtain the signatures of the other vernors to a letter ad- dressed to the president of the United States, in which political and sectional animosity found free ex- Referring to the alleged northern misvepresentation of the south, the letter said: “*Much, if not most, of those false ideas originated in the sys- tematic slan which one of the great political pavties of tho United States has thought it its interest to promulgate.” And again: *Nor are these slanders confined t this country. For the past thirty years the United States has baen represented in all the countries of the world with which we have diplomatic relations by men who were not only prejudived the south, but whose political interests de- manded, as they to think, that they spread misrepresentation und in- tensify partisan prejudice against this portion of the country."” Nota governor present would sign this lotter except its author and Gov- ernor Stone of Missouri, and the latter probably would not have had not been presented for his signature before the assembling of the convention. The more sonsible and ¢ool headed of the men who influence public sentiment in the south are tived of contemplating the past and fighting old battles over.

Who are that are leading in this new departure? Theyare in almost instance young men who not participants in the great deama of the rebellion. The men who shaped the «dings of this convention of south- governors boys when ondered, and however earnestly may sympathize with those who unablo to forget the past, they real- ize that thoy ave living in the present and that they must adjust themselves to its conditions. It is one of the most hopeful signs of the time in the south that the control of vivs is passing into the hands of men who are animated by a progressive spivitand who are little influenced by memories of the old order of things that has now passed away. They appear to appreciate the fact that' indu development is of much comsequence than politics and that sce- tional feeling is only fruitfui of havm. ECL ARLISLE'S STATLMENT The statement sent out by ) Carlisle regardi the financial situa- tion is reassuring in two 1espects, One of these is that no order has been made to stop the payment of gold upon troasury notes issued for the purchase of silver bullion and that there will be no stoppage of such payment so long as the treasury has gold legally available for the The other is that the purpose of the government to preserve its own ceedit unimpaired and maintain the parity of the two metals by all lawful means will not be abandoned under any eireum- stances. The actof July 14, 1800, which requires the government to purchase every month 4,500,000 ounces of silver nd authorizes the stary of the treasury to issue treasury notes in con- tradistinetion to greenbacks or payment thevefor, also says: “That upon demand of the holder of any treasury notesherein provided for the secretary of the treasury shull,under such regulations as he may preseribs, redeem such notes in gold or silver ¢oin at his discretion, it being the established policy of the United States to maintain the two metals on a pavity with cach other upon the present legal ratio or such atio as may be provided by law.” 1t is contended that this section gives the etary discretion to redeem the tre ury notes in silver coin at will, or at least to issue regulations suspending their redemption in gold. 1t is osti- mated that there ave $13),000,000 of these notes ontstanding, and it is charged that they are made the principal vehicle for withdrawing gold from the treas- ury. Itis therefore suggested that if the secretary should exercise the d tionary power vested in him of makin, party nant in agninst the men every were were school FARY ( cretary purpose. silver cortificates in regulations for the redemption of these notes soas to preclude their redemp- tion in gold until the treasury vaults are once more iilled, he will deprive speculat of one chief apon by which the present abnormal with- drawals of gold are effected. On the other hand it is contended that such a course might prove dangerous to the maintenance of the gold basis The assurance of Secretary Carvlisle that the treasury notes issued under the act of 1800 will be puid in gold so long as there is gold legally available for this purpose is vague, hecause nobody knows what will be the decision of the admini. tration regarding the reserve of $100,- 000,000 gold—that is, whether it shall be kept intact for the redemption of logal tender notes only, or may be used for meeting every other de- mand upon the treasury for gold. According to report there is a very de- cided difference of opinion between the president and the secretary of the treas- ury as to this, the former contending that the gold reserve should not be touched except for the purpose for which it was created. If this view pre- vail, and it is intimated that Me. Cley lund will firmly insist upon it, then the gold in the treasury legally available for paying treasury notes is shown by the statement of the sccretary to be about exhausted, and if the holders of gold do not respond promptly and liver- ally to the appeal of the secretary to help the treasury the suspension of gold puyments on treasury notes will beeome an early necessity. It is impossible to say how much credence should be given to the reported disagreement between President Cleve- land and Secretary Carlisle regarding the policy to be pursued for meeting the gold demand upon the treasury, but con- servative financiers seem to be gonerally agreed that it would bo wiser and safer to sell bonds for goid than to intrench upon the resecve of gold created for the maintenance of a specie basis. votary of the treasury may be right in the contention that he has the legal authority th use this reseeve for other purposos than the redemption of the legal tender notss, but the move impov- tant consideration is one of expediency. The sec THE public hue not forgotten that the law department of President Cleveland's first administration was smirched with a great scandal. If he wishes to avoid a similar mortification he cannot too punc- tually remind Attorney Goneral Olney of the proprieties of the pasition he ¢ cupies. When Mr. Olney accepted a place in the cabinet he was a director and trusted legal adviser of both the Boston & Maine and the Chicago, Bur- lington & Quiney railroads. Oaly a few days ago he sttended a meoting of tho vectors of the former company, and he still draws salaries from the roads, T impression is v genoral that Mo Olney must sever his relations with these corporations if he would be of any servica to the Cleveland administration.

The ad- res that would result to buyers and sellers alike by the establishment of this method are apparent. The stock could be more cheaply and satisfactorily handled temgoravily, and the farmers would have the benefit of a market nearer home. According to the Kearney Iinh the Campbell Com- mission company is negotiating for ract of land nea that city for the project designated. The same authority states that Me. T. B. Clawson, who is conducting the prise, intimated that this was only the boginning of this company’s operations in this direction, and that several other prominent commission companies are tulking of branching out in the samc manner at different points in t erusection of the state. enter- > west A WASHINGTON dispatch states that the action of Secrets Carlisle in fusing to purchase the Bowling Green site for a new custom housein New York City, and declining to accept the Chest- nut street site in - Philadelphia for the United States mint, ind that his policy inregard to public buildings will be t9 defor entering upon the work of erecting any costly structures during the present eondition of the treasuey.

There the con- ditions of socicty and industry are such that measures can be tried with comparatively little disturbance or risk which would be very dangerous to the peace and prosperity of a nation even as old as ourown. The re sult, whether for good or ill, of the tests made m New Zealand and New South Wales, for instance, of a compulsory cight-hour working day, with a half-holiday on Satur. day,and of government factory regulation and government emplovment agencies, of a kind unknown here, will throw much light, it is to be hoped, upon the practical working of socialism in its milder forms. South Austra- lia is trying the Henry George theory of state ownership of the soil, and in all of the colonies of Australlasia experiments in the direction of socinlism are common. In this country we have tested many things feared vy Europe and have thus added immensely 10 the world's stock of political, social and industrial knowledge. Perhaps the colonies of Australia and New Zealand will in like manner make iuvaluable contributions to cconomic science and thus save older and larger states from costly experiments and disastrous blunders, The assertions of the Belgian Anti-Slavery pciation and Mr. Stanley that the Arabs on the Congo have been supplicd with arms and ammunition from German East Africa, | in contravention of the Brussels gencral act, are categorieally denied at Berlin.

This denial of course apy only to German territory, and it is hinted that illicit traftic of this kind may possibly be curried on from the British or Portuguese spheres of influence, The im- portation of arms and ammunition into German Fast Africa is the cxclusive pre- rogative of the government, aud care is taken to prevent any infringement of the privilege, although individual cases of smug- gling do happen.
