The Klute or UnSliH'SS.
The sleigh bells lira merrily ringing
and nature has dune nil slin can te give
us a merry Christmas. Tlie unproduc
tiveness of luber, however, will be a
drawback te tliefull enjoyment of the
season. There docs net Fee in te be any
rery geed reason why our lmln.slrk'9
should be checked, but ttiere Is no doubt
that tliey tire net in n flourishing condi
tion. The country Is growing nnd de
veloping and its trade ought te be in
geed condition. Tliere hna been a great
ever production In the item of railroads
undoubtedly, which have been built be
yond present requirements. It would
seem that the stimulus under which the
business of the country was lately boom
ing, was largely attributable te thrseen
terprlses, for there nre few ethers wh'ch
appear te have been unduly driven. A
great deal of money has been lest In the
stock market where a great deal had been
previously gained. The public are very
effectually weaned ftem that avonue te
wealth nnd have returned te their ordi
nary basinet avocations, te flud them
likewise, very unpromising In the way of
preDts. There Inn been some great dis
turbance which h:is produced this ab ab
uermal condition of trade, but what it
may be is net readily detected in view
of the apparently undisturbed and pros
perous condition of the country. Meney
is abundant and cheap ; and ami se is
labor. Industry ought te be active un
der thebe conditions, and there is
every reason te believe that it
will be in the coining year, te which
business men are hopefully looking. Tim
wages of labor will le lower than in
the past jear, and the rates of railroad
carriage will be reduced. The conditions
will be produced which will give em
pleymcnt te idle factories and hands,
whatever their conditions are ; for the
one thing which the general Interest re
quires is tliat such employment shall be
found.

Lancaster p.utl) with electric light and

from the beginning of the new system

both is eiip of the considerations which ,in
our judgment, should have halted coun
cils, lu accept i im the experimental elec
trical 8) stem before it was demonstrated
that it would de what its projecteis
contracted for. An outlay of $.10 000
per annum for lighting the city means,
at the present valuation of thueity prep
erty, ticit) lax or $1.10. There .ire a
great many things which It would be
well for tin-city te have, notably water
works Improvements. Hut they cannot
be seemed without an additional tax
rate. The cii debt is about up te its
constitutional limit. Under the present
vicious and unequal system of assess
ments there is no increase of valuation
corresponding te the iucpmsp et munici
pal expenditures. Reside the i Miunrdiuu
ry expenses for lighting next ) ear, aud
probable deficiencies tote provided ter,
the city bus entitlements te pay tei three
engine houses The-e expendituies will
render neeet-'ary an mrresise (if city tax
which will cause general complaint. It
may as well lie anticipated new, and
previsions be made for it ; and as the
initial slep, attention blieuld be given te
revisieu of the assessments.

Chnirmnu Diller, ei the lamp committee
of ceuucils, having ordered that all the
gasoline lamps in thu city be put out. and
Chairman Kvaus.ef the flnance committee,
having declared that he would nppreve no
bills for the use of gasoline fiem the date
ou which the ceutr.ict for lighting tlie
streets with eltotilelty, was made (Dee.
1 lib ) Mr. Kitoh.whe has the contract for
lighting the gasoline lamps, commenced te
take thorn down, and up te Friday morn
ing had cut out 229 of them, principal
ly along the line of the electr e lamps. As
the taking down of the gasollne lamps
would leave many of the back street ami
alleys iu darkiiess, a vigorous pretest was
made by citizeus ugnlnst their removal,
and nta special meeting of the lamp com
mittee held ou Friday, the order of Chair
man Diller was rescinded, nud Mr. Kitch
was Instructed te take down no mete,
lumps until the lamp committee shall have
made a tour of the town and desiguaud
tliose that may be removed without Intel
feriug with thu lighting el the streets.
This arrangement leaves e00 gasoline
lamps still m use, at a cost of 425 per
lamp per annum, a total of 47,500. The
ceutr.ict with the electric light company
is for 120 electric lamps, at n cost of
410,800 per annum ; and the contract
with the gas company for lighting the
public efllces, station house, matket
houses, &e., at 42 per 1 000 eubie
leet of gas, will cost another 41,000
making a total 4-'5,300 per year for light.
Owing te the adoption of the electric
system of lighting there will be a dellci dellci
euey of seteral thousand dollars lu the
appropriation for thecuirent year and this
will have te be added 1 1 425,1100 for this
year nud be provided for In next year's
appropriation which will net be lets and
will probably be considerably mero thau
40,000. Some taxpn) ors are kicking at
tlie prospect of Increased tax itieu.atid per
sous living en the back sheets are kicking
at the prospee" of being Ifft lu daikuess.
This places the lamp committee "between
the dickens and the deep sea," and they
hardly kuew what te de about it. They
will probably reduce the number of gase
line lumps still in use, but whatever they
de will give dithatisfuctleu. L'vcu seme of
thu warmest advocates of the electric
light are beginning te think that we am
"paying tee dear for the whistle" espee
ially ns the light has proved te be irregu
lar and unreliable, quite a number of '.lie
lamps lading te bum every night smce
