The statement et the condition of tbe Maxim Electric Light company shows a great deal of water among Its assets ; and it may be that the company's weak ness has a great deal te de with its peer Illumination of our streets.

KroefotaUuSI'or delay In having the cues decided oare or eusirucviug I ., n.iiii ti.i. tiip ceptlen. Even new when the streets are foliage, darkness reigns. The lamps refuse te burn ; and judging from tbe aspect of its -statement of assets and liabilities, the Maxim company docs net illuminate the countenances of its stockholders mero than Its electricity does the streets of Lancaster. Te be sure the stockholders are net many and thelr stake Is net large. They de net stand te leso much though they contemplate a 'possibly large gain. They Issued stock te the amount of a million dellars.being 1:0,000 shares at fifty dollars a share. Its stock In trade at the outset consisted of a license from the United States Electric Lighting company, of New Yerk, te U30 its patents and privileges In Pennsylva nia. Per this 0,000 shares of stock were Issued te the New Yerk company ; 4.C00 1 shares weie kept In Its treasury by the Maxim company, which has new changed Us name te the United States electric lighting company, of Pennsylva nia, te inake its title "correspond with that of the parent company and ether companies working under the system." The remaining 10,000 shares were taken by the stockholders at $10 per share, and SGO.000 of the $100,000 thus realized was paid te the "parent company" In addi tion te the 0,000 shares, for the right te use the patents in Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania company says that it ewes S12G.S72.G0 and that it has $lrt3(34 1.55 with which te pay Its debts, leaving a surplus of $30,171.60 as profits, which is doing very well for a company that la just getting en Its legs and does net claim te have begun yet te make any profits. Its assets consists of some $21,000 in cash and accounts, 23,000 in merchandise, $2SS,03 in its plant nt Cape May, $7,499.10 in its Pittston plant, nnd $41 ,30 1.03 in its Lancaster plant A big sum of $110,550.S2 is represented by ' station, Including real estate," which seems te be the item that swallows up everything that it Is net convenient te call by any particular name. We are informed that it is the intention te sell the Lancaster plaut "te a company te be formed." It is certainly a ery geed Intention and we will congratulate the company when it succeeds in carrying it out. At pres ent we see no prospect of its making a sale in Lancaster save te the city. Ne doubt the councils will buy it. The ceuncllmen are In leve with the poles and the wires ; and they really enjoy the uncertainty of the light. It makes .i pleasant sort of excitement, and elves them some tiling te think about. They can bet beer witli their neighbors en the shining of any particular light en nny night with the delightful certainty that It is an even chauce who will whi. And then the ceuncllmen are net often bright ; and se have a fellow feeling with a light that don't Illuminate. Pitt I'p te he Knocked Down. In Dually selecting D. P. Itesenmlller as their candidate for mayor the Renub ' JiSSSi'-rlWy publicly abandon all hope of defeating Mr. McMullen, the Democratic nominee. Mr. Itesenmlller has been a candidate from the beginning for the place, and has been understood te be a willin' Barkis for some years, but no influential element of his party would ever assent te his nomination be long in thete was the faintest hope of persuad any fitter and stronger man te take the place. When the effort te secure tills had been exhausted upon a half score without avail, the election of ll-wen miller was sullenly assented te in des pair. Mr. ltesentniller is a very clever man socially, and has a number of warm personal friends - but these who knew him best knew best that he is net the man for mayor. He lacks In marked degree the essentlal qualifications for tlie place; aud should such an utterly unlikely tiling as his election ever come te pass it would preb ably be ns tinfortunnte for him us fei the municipality. Hd was district at terney, and his administration was neither elliclent nor creditable; he dis played in marked degree the fail ings which unfit him for the executive chair of the city government, lie represented the city district for ene term In the Legislature, aud at the end of it his party refused te reneminate him. His public record is ene which the Jfcuminer very plainly asked his party net te challenge examination of, when it warned the Hepubllcans that " no man can be elected mayor of this city who has te be defended or whose weakness must be apologized for. This "plain statement from Truthful James " was an echo of the equally uumlstakable warning which the itote i'ni had expressed against Mr. Itesenmllier's nomination. The nomination does net especially appealte the sontlment of party fealty, since It is made In open opposition te the will of the party, aud as the organic erganic organic tlen U under no obligation te the nomi nee. It has served him in the past, but hoIsnetsusDectedof anv tee great de votion te it when he was most needed , and there Is scarcely auy point of view from which the nomination can be ap proved as ene lit te be made. W'J see that the people recognize what we Imve mero than ence pointed out, the geed position occupied by William W. Eaten, of Connecticut, as a Demo crats presidential candidate. The editor of the Augusta Coiiifi'Mi'enalfsf declures that Mr. IJateu can carry New Yerk, Connecticut nnd New Jersey, und there is sound reason for this Judgment. Mr. Eaten, th rough a long public service, bes never taken a position whose soundness has net ultimately been approved by tbe judgment or his Democratic fellow citi zens.

Mr. Rosenmillor thanked the convent Ien heartily for the great honor conferred upeu him, nnd said that te be a candidate for Lancaster's chief oxeautlve chair was no blight distinction. He confessed te seme httle surprise at the news of his nomina tion, although he was uet uuaware that the lightning might strike him. In truly ingenuous laehien he deolared that " I am a happy man te night."

It U well understood that Rosenmlllor's nomination was very reluctantly made by his party only after every man of auy political slreugth had declined, A dezen were invited te take the head of the municipal tioket, nud all with oue accord dcollned. Mayer MacGonlgle's adminis tration has been be satiiitactery, nud Mr. MoMullen Is of such a pattern, that te any Ropiibliean, fit te be mayor, tlie prospect of dofentltig the Domeoratlo scorned te be hnpolesn. nominee Mr. Rosenmlllor Is well known In the city. He hns been district nttomey nnd a nioraber of the Leglslntute, nnd in nelthcr position showed any quallllcalleim for mayor. His candidacy has been viewed with npprclionslen by his own party ; nnd It in wull understood that the A'cie Km had this In view when It recently said : "We understand that an ollert will be made te oleet delegates en Thursday evu. ning in the interests of candidates who It is well known could net command even the party vote much less the business vete independent efpitty considerations, whleli every year is making itself mere and mero felt lu municipal nlfairs, We warn the Republican citizens who are Interested both in their party's success und the pros perity of the city te see te it that delegates nre elected ou Thutsday evening who will select candidates for mayor ami school directors with au eje slngle te the public wetfaie, and thus Insure the success of the party simply by deserving It. The h'xaminer has also slid very plainly that Mr. Rosenmillor was net wanted, lu this expression of sniitlnicut : " A poll tlclan Is uet wanted for a oaudtdate, It he Is new or has been Intimately connected with factional lights lu local Republican politics. All that Is needed is a cltizen familiar te all, who is known te have ability in the tiiunauemcut of business nf fairs, the integrity which gives nur.uce that city matters will be mauaged lien estly and with that iudopeiideuco of char acter te provebo will be noithertho mouth pioce of a riug nor the tool of 11 clique. The delegates must net ceme togethor In the interest of any man simply because he is asking for the ofllce. Tlie best man is tlie unknown man. who soeks uethliiL'. but llke a i;oed citixen, will be willing te serve his party nud his city. Auy man who does net pessess that moral ferce which wins the respect of the ' boys' and the hearty support of the biislness community is uet tit te be a candidate and if forced upon the tioket will be defeated. Ne man can be elected mayor of this city who has te be dofeuded or whose wcakne.is must he apologized for." .AIOTO Hr.ST. Ttie final Uereinnulei at the (H,iciiile el the I.nte ltev. ,1.
