Electric Bill Killed.
The most villainous bill that was
ever sneaked through the Pennsyl
vania Legislature was justly vetoed
by the Governor. It is hardly nec
essary to explain that it wa9 the
Electric Light bill, which was intro
duced by Senator Hackenberg an a
courtesy to his supposed friends,
Senator Cochran, of Williamsport,
and ex-Attorney General llensel, of
Lancaster.
The intent of the bill was not re
vealed to the Senator of this district
who was kind enough to introduce
it, and the apparent friendship be
tween him and his Democratic col
league was supposed by him to be
sufficient security against being used
other than in good faith.
How the bill got through both
Houses is a mystery that no one
seems to understand, but when its
full meaning and purpose became
k'uown it was universally condemned
and many good members and Sena
tors arc gratified to know that it has
been dealt a death-blow by the Gov
ernor. The fact is, the infamous
measure was planned in the city of
Williamsport in the interest of a
corporation with monopolistic aspi
rations and which is a combination
of the Lycoming Electric Light Co.,
and all the electric railway com*
parties and against a small block
company known as the Citizens'
Electric Company, which has been
in successlul operation lor a short
time and run without a charter ol
incorporation.
This new company started on a
small scale on the block system, and
their patrons comprise nearly all the
business houses in the block in
which the Updegraff Hotel and the
Gazette and Bulletin ofliee are situ
ated. The ofliee of the Citizen's
company is located in the next block
north of the one in which their plant
is and they run a wire across Third
street to connect with the ofliee.
This proceeding did not suit the
combine and they immediately open
ed war on the small concern. They
tried through the city council to
have the wire removed and as they
are not a corporation it seeins that
the council to have the wire removed
and as they are not a corporation it
seems that the council could not
grant a franchise of the streets for
running wires across them and no
tified them to take it down. By
some grace or other, however, the
wire is atill up and the parties who
own the plant are about procuring a
charter for the company when they
expect to be entitled to fair consid*
eration from council and intend en -
larging the plant as soon as arrange
ments can be procured.
In order to reduce to insignifi
cance the new company and defeat
their plans Mr. Cochran and others
who are interested in the big coin
pany had a blanket bill prepared
which would allow no new company
to have the right of way on any
street or alley that was occupied bv
another company. Wot even would
the city or borough itself be allow
ed to erect a plant for its own use
according to the bill. When the
purpose of the bill became known
Remonstrances began to pour in
against it from every section of the
State. The press was almost unani
mous in condemning the iniquitous
conspiracy and the Governor has
maintained the good will of a vast
number of people, including many
Democrats, by his prompt action in
wiping it out. The bill was BO
grossly outrageous that Mr. Cochran
would not risk introducing it but in
duced a Republican Senator to do
so, that in the event of it being ex
posed it might be charged as coming
from the Republican side of the Sen
ate. However, Mr. Hackenberg
promptly laid the facts bare and the
public is now familiar with them.
Hereafter friendly Senators will be
charry of doing courteous favors for
Senator Cochran, and the whole
Senate will scrutinize any measure
that that gentleman in the future
may propose.—Sunbury American.

Only four survivors of the battle
of Waterloo are now to be found in
Europe. The vast armies of Napo

their declining years they ever came

age to the company's plant. That
is the way they (the boys) pay for
the 15 per cent, reduction in their
