There was a middle course which it would have been wise te take that was nettaken. As we have heretofore said, the city is pay ing far tee much for its lighting.

' - E4iinds in a Hele. - Senater Edmunds has struck another snag. He has been badly w ersted by Heck He disclosed his discomfiture by showing his anger; and, failing te answer the cold facta et his antagonist, and the mercilc ' logic et the situation, he ceered hlmsel wth confusion by displaying a lack of sen atorial dignity and of even temper. "He get mad." Tha Senate has been wasting its own time and the money of the public by discuss ing the president's removal of a scalawag district attorney, named Duskin, in Ala bama. It has transpired that his time has been up for several months aud the debate is altogether Irrelevant and super fluous. Whether the Senate gets the papers it asks for ornet, it admits te basing no right te interfere with, te control or te question the free exercise of the executive prerogative te tumble beads into the basket. &ew, alas J for Edmunds the tables are turned completely upon him. Heck showed en the fleer of the Senate that the best reasons for Duskin's removal hae been furnished by Edmunds himself. Duskin, Mr. Beck sajs, was nominated for district attorney in Alabama in March, 1SS1, and net confirmed. He was again nominated in October, 1SS1, and still again In December of the same jear, but the senator from Vermont had netfelt justified in reporting his nomination favorable. It was, he continued, shown in the Strebach investigation that Duskin wa3 unfit te held any efllce, and Attorney General Brewster was en record te that effect. He hoped, Mr. Beck said, growing ,ery earnest, in executive session, if he could net in pub lic, te compel Mr. Edmunds te produce the record in his possession which showed Duskin te be unlit for office, and te prove that Mr. Edmunds, knowing Duskin te hae se bad a record, had selected his sus pension as the case In which te call for papers, hoping that the Democratic ad ministration would be glad te state the reasons for his suspension und thus afford the Republicans a precedent te held up in ether and better cases. Of course Edmunds grew red and white bv turns. He protested that Beck was letting senatorial secrets out of the execu tive session bag, but the Kentucky senator reminded him that he had produced in open session the Sherman letter from the judiciary committee's book. Edmunds retorted that he had get permission te de that, and Beck straightway went into the executive session et the Senate and asked for permission te the same thing with the back proceedings of the Duskin case.f There Edmunds quailed and de clined this fair preposition. A mere sig nal parliamentary defeat was never seen. A better exposure of hypocrisy was never made. Senater Beck should fellow up the fl lying and hang the hide upon the fence. Lancaster has cause te be proud of the Impetus slie gave last night te 0110 of the Krandest movements In progress en the glebe. Tub absorbing literature of decellette dressing is much enriched by Mini Cleve land's contribution te the subject elsewhore printed. Tnu story et the community at Economy, en the Ohie river, below Pittsburg, has been told in the Invkllieekcer, The estate, founded by Geerge Rapp eighty j ears age, transplanted te its present settlement In 1825, has grown te immense proportions. Tbe practice or celibacy has decimated its ranks, and while Its wealth has grown te twenty millions its membership has shrunk en te a feiv old people whewa palsied hands keepfeeble grip upon Its vast possessions. Quite naturally these estates attract the cov etous gaze of hungry adventurers and of speculative lawyers. Numerous attempts have been made te foment domestic insur rection in the community, and te organize outside legal raids upon its fatness. They have all failed thus far. Anether Is new re ported In the attempt of 105 heirs of Geerge Kapp In Germany te grab and divide the property of the Econeraitos. It Is te be hoped It will be frustrated. While the Rapp lats held together they can manage and should control their estate, and when they become extinct, by every sense of justice their property should escheat te the com monwealth, as a memorial et their goon citi zenship. Erin's harp Is playing lively tunes nowa days. m mm There is no nonsense about the new civil service commissioner, Jehn H. Oberly, ex chairman of the Democratic state committee or Illinois. He Is a practical politician, in the true and reputable sense of the term. Whatever else may be said, this Is the truth. The president knows the man ; Oberly spent geed deal of the winter of 18St-85 in Albany and was close te Mr. Cleveland. We think his membership in the beard means a rattling of the dry bones. a m m Almest any reason Legan adduces in support et Denient's confirmation Is an argu- ment against it. It is only fair te Kentucky te say that its leading newspaper, the Louisville Courier Ceurier Jaurnal, makes emphatic denial of the sen sational report of a discovery that the time men executed for " the Ashland tragedy " of Christmas Eve, 1681, were innocent, 'the Courier-Journal points out that this new rumor is simply the revival of an old canard ; It was told while the men were In prison, and every assertion was examined and overthrown. There has never been Uie slightest evidence that ethers committed this deed. There has never been lu the minds of dispassionate men the slightest doubt that the guilty men sutlered for it righteously. Tbey had net one, but two and tbree trials. Twice their cases went te the court or ap peals. Every advantage was taken by shrewd attorneys of every Uev ice known te the prac tice, and In Kentucky these devices are Innumerable, and yet every verdict was against these men. It was a crime se atro cious and the guilt was se dearly proven that even in KentucVy " the free zene " for murderers there was no escape ler them. a Tue president's demand for the resigna tion of Gev.Murray, of Utah, is highly credit able te Mr. Cleveland.

In his opinion the communication was net w ritten In Seventh ward. Dr. Belenlus said the first question for consideration was the lighting of the city by electricity, gas, gasoline, camile dipsorother dipserother dipsorether wle. Mr. Auter called ler the reading of the res olution before council at the hut meeting w ben tbe motion te adjourn ter two weeks wasadopted. The resolution is as follews: HeselveJ, That the lamp committee are hereby directed te accept the proposal of 1. B. Shaw, for lighting the city for the ensu ing ear with the Kdisen Incandescent light and te enter Inte a contract with him at euce agreeably te the terms ei his proposal, they being the lowest bidders. Mr. Auxer moved the adoption of the resolution aud it was seconded by halt a dozen members. Dr. Belenlus directed the clerk te read the minutei of last meeting en the question and tbe report of the lamp committee. At the conclusion of the reading, Mr. Leng raised tbe point of order that the amend ment et Mr. Mentzer postponing action for two weeks carried with it the resolution above printed. President Belenlus decided the point well taken. Mr. A uxer then ettered as an original reso lution the resolution noted above. Mr. Leng said he desired te ask Mr. Auver a question and it was this: Hew much per light per night would the city pay it the con tract was given te the Edisen company at Mr. Auxer answered the question by hav ing the bid of the Edisen company rend, but te make the matter clear he would include In the resolution that Mr. Shaw's bid Na 1, be tbe one adopted.

TUB20-1NCU WATER MAt.V. Mr, Baumgardner stated that at the last meeting of councils he bad offered a resolu tion changing the route of tbe 20-lnch water main, te be extended te the western part of the city. Slnce then, after consulting resi dents et the western section of the oily he learned that It was net economical te change the route trem the one originally adopted, and he moved te reconsider the resolution adopted at the last meeting. The motion te reconsider was adopted. Mr. llershey then offered a resolution similar te the one ettered at the August meeting extending the main en Orange street from Liuio street te Xevlu and it was adopted, alter some discussion, by a unani mous vote. the i.ieiit question aeain. When the clerk of select council returned te common council and reported the action of that branch non-concurring in the Edisen resolution, favoring the electric light new In use, Mr. Evarts moved that common coun cil adhere te Its former action and that a committee of conference be appointed. The president ruled the motion ei Mr. Evarts out of order and tbat the consideration of the resolution et select council adeptlug the Maxim light was in order. Mr. Leng moved that the action et select council be concurred In. Mr. Evarts moved te non-concur, but the president declared the motion out of erder. COUJiCILMAN SPAETH'S STEECir. Mr. Spaeth argued in favor of the adoption of the Maxim light. He said the first year tbat that light was In use, tbe city had a sad experience. New everything has been sys tematized and the city has been furnished with a geed light. The city would In all probability liave the same experionce with the Incandescent light the Una j ear as was had with the Maxim. He believed that tbe Incandenceut light was geed ler lnside light ing but was net geed for streets. While It Is alleged that by the Incan descent light I'S.OOO or $8,000 will be saved II the Maxim light is adopted the city will get fe,000 or f.iOO worth mere light. Then again the city will be put te great expense for damages resulting Iretn the placing of iwles, tearing up pavements, etc. In conclusion he stated tbat the MaxIhi company had been put te great expense in erecting their plant aud It would be ue mere than fair that the city would keep their light fur another year. Mr. Evarts said the cltv had nothing te da with the expense of the Maxim company. As representatives of the people, the cheapest and best light shruld be adopted by councils. The adv antages te the city by the adoption of the Kdiseu light is the distribution of the lamps lu the outer wards, Mr. Auxer said the Kdisen company had been given the right et way te place their poles en the streets and alleys of the city at the last meeting ofceunctla. MIU llAUMQAItDNKR'S STATEMENT. Mr. Baumgardner said numerous com munications had been published lu the papers In laudation or the Kdisen light He had Been one signed by twelve prominent citizens of West Chester and upon Inquiry be bad learned that ten of that iiumber were stockholders lu the Kdisen company. As te the card tbat the Kdiseu light was successful In Jobustewn he had learned that the light there was a failure. It was also a failure aud did net give satisfaction in West Chester. Mr, Baumgardner quoted from the report of the experts at the Franklin Institute te show that the Kdisen llffht was net a geed eua He pointed out places In the city vvhnre there would net be any lights for squares if the Kdisen was adopted, aud In conclusion said 750 Incandescent lights would be needed te light the city. The question was called and the resolution adopting the Maxim light was carried by a vote e(13 te 12, as fellows; Messrs. Baum gardner, Beard, Belenlus, Cormeny, Kber man, Hershuy. K en dlgrteng, Mayer, Mc lAugblln. Nell, Snyder and Spaetiu voted Bye. Messrs. Adams, Auxer, Bare, Bucklus, Dinkelberg, Eyarta, Ooedell, Lip- peld, Martin, Monitor, Sebum and Trlssler v eted nay. a nuKEzv discussion. Mr. Auxer Mid the criticism of the incan descent light would have ceme w Ith a better grace from a member ether than one inter ested in the gas company and raised the point that Mr. Baumgardner wns nn Inter ested party and had no right te vete en the quostlen. He took the position that if tbe Incandescent light was adopted thou there would be no gas lights, and If the Arc electric light system is auepieii, there would te sev eral hundred gas lights, and, consequently Mr. Baumgardner was Interested. The president ruled that Mr. Baumgnrd ner hail alright te vete,as the question of gns was net under consideration. Mr. Baumgardner said that If there w as a doubt or his right te vete he wanted his vete stricken off. The gas company in which he is Interested does net want te light the city lamp, and a week age he went te the chair man of the lamp committee and requested him te withdraw the gas company's bid. Tbe city authorities can shut oft the gas lamps en June 1, or sooner If they desire. Adjourned. SFXECT COUNCIL. The following members were present: Messm. Berger, Demuth, Decrr, lxng, Bemley, Riddle, Urban, Wise nud Kvatis, president Mr. Urban presented the report of the lire committee. It contains the proposals atd award of contract ter repair of Na 2 engine, and also the result or the test of the new Clapp iV Jenes engine (heretofore reported). Attached te the report was a resolution that the Clapp .V Jenes engine lie accepted. Mr. lllddle said that he had Boen a notice In oue of the newspapers that at the test made or the engine It failed te come up te the requirements demanded by councils and the guarantee given by the bullders. Mr. Urban explained that the weather was very unfavorable at the time tbe tests were made, but the onglne worked steadily at 123 te 130 steam pressure, and the committee aud ethers who w ltnessed the tests w ere sat isfied that Uie engine was a geed one, nud would de all that It had been guaranteed te dn. Mr. Blddle thought It was due te the builders as well as te the fire commlttce and councils, that n test should be made that would show beyond dispute that the engine fulfilled its guarantee lie had no doubt It would de se under faverable conditions. He moved tbat the preposition te accept the onglne be postponed until the stated meet ing in AprlL '1 he motion was nereed te. Common ceun cil concurred. THE KLKCTllIC I.IOIIT QUI STION. A petition from the empleyes or the l.an l.an caster watch factory asking ler the adoption et the Kdisen light was read and referred te the lamp commlttce. A resolution rrem common council, direct ing the lamp committee te enter Inte a con tract with the Kdiseu incandescent light company was received and read. Mr. Urban spoke lu favor et concurring In the resolution adopted by common council. The Edisen ligbt,be thought, was the best If net se brilliant as the light new in use. It w ill give a uniform light all ever tbe city. The alleys and suburbs will have as geed a light as the principal streets. Besides the incan descent is a local company In which many of our citizens are inieresieu ; it is net an ex periment as some have said, but has been lu successful operation In Johnstown, West Chester and ether cities. nmDi.E Titnevvs in a no Mil. Mr. Kiddle said he had given considerable attention te the question of lighting the city. He had heard reports from Johnstown that the Edisen light did "net give satisfaction. At the suggestion of friends of the Edisen light he had visited West Chester aud found tbat borough lighted with about 200 Incan descent lights. He had looked at them from nil directions and found that they did net furnish the kind of light that Incaster wanted. The sixteen-candle power lamps were net as geed as a geed gas-burner, and the J2-candle power lamps net much better. He was also iniermed that the company furnished West Chester with light at considerably less per lamp than they etrered te furnish it here. If their offer te light Lancaster w as as low in proportion as their contract with West Chester, there would be a saving te the city or 1,070. Their proposals ellered te the l.mp committee are much less favorable than they offer te Individual citizens. Mr. Kiddle said he did net believe there was n city in the United States that was charged mere for light whether it be electric, gas or gasoline than Individual citizens were charged for the same kind or light He was Informed that a town In Massachusetts, requiring about as many lamps as Lancaster, was lighted with lncande i cent lamps for 17,000, while It is proposed te charge this city f .20,000 for the same number. Hewas opposed te throwing out the present plant which was furnishing a geed llglit, and f Hitting ene in that was net se geed. It this s done the streebv in the suburbs will net be lighted as well as they are new. The plea tbat the Kdiseu company Is "a home com pany" Is answered by the fact that the gas company is a home company also, aud i et w e don't want gas. Mr. Urban replied, stating that the cltv would save JS,0oe per jear by accepting the Kdisen light; besides we would avoid the annoyance we new experience in conse quence orthegesand ga-sellne lamps being blown out by winds. Mr. Itemley answered that he had been In formed tbat the Incandescent lamps were also liable te go out during thunder storms. THE KDISON COMPANY DEFEATED.
