For money to loan oil 2ud real estata to number of the citizens do not, seem to be thoroughly posted in regard to the electric light plans. The rates for lights have not yet. been ordinance to ihat, effect is being drafted now. It is safe to say, however, that, the rate be made as reasonable as possible and those who take the moat lights will get a proportion cheaper rate.

The prevailing ideri that those who take incandescent lights are to be made to pay for the street lights, is erroneous. The cost of Operating the street lights alone, to gclher with interest on bonds, will be figured out and a tax levied to cover thus making nil property owners share in meeting that expense. The present street lights are to oe given a 60 day test and if they do hot prove satisfac; tory new lamps of candle power will be put in, and if necessary a new arc dynamo added to the plant. All these things must he given lime and our people will mnke nothing by being impatient. The incandescent Mghi service is as fine as could be wished for, the only I milt being that most of the business men have failed lo put in enough lights.

The writer has taken (tains to notice the lighting service in over rive hundred different towns ami cities, from ocean to ocean, and o.n assure the people of ENlherville that (heir innide lights are equal to any. tf all business houses would take from three to six more lights they would be perfectly satisfied with the service and tlnd tl.e cost little if nny more within a few months. Hut above all things, Jon't begin kicking befote its time to kick. Bacon, referring to its flies of just twenty years ago, says in its last issue: "The relief question was the topic uppermost in the Beacon at that date. Clothing and provisions were iii-re in considerable quantities for the families of farmers who had been eaten out by grasshoppers.

Now out of our abundance we are giving to the farmers of the burnt districts." The writer well remembers those times. The suffering cams not from crop failure Out from the grasshopper scourge which devastated this section for flfty miles around. Relief promptly tendered from the mure fortunate parts of the stale and it whole store room of pro visions, clothing, was placed here for distribution. Some of our present kickers ought to have had a little of that experience. Stale Register is taking great credit upon itself because It denounces gambling in the capitol city.

We sup posed all papers of ordinary decency rtere opposed to the gambling vice, but when the Register goes on lo plate thai play ing "progressive cinch' 1 is gambling it is enough lo make a mine tired. might more consistently call offeritiK premiums to the one who would get the xrealesl number of Subscribers to a paper, gambling; or offering rewards of merit at school, or declamatory contest medals, gambling. Man's existence might be well termed a game in which the best players win the prizes, but all men shouldn't be called gamblers. The gun, as usual, scatters too much it goes off. newspapers of tbe various counties have been enjoying the annual lying contest before the board of super visors in the matter of filing lists ol "bona tide subscribers." Thia ia a ridiculous law nud yet no legislature deems disposed to change it.

L'ke most laws made by lawyers it is full of loop holes and easily evaded In its important lealures. In Emmet county all four ot ihe papers puulisu tbe minutes of the board meetings at the price allowed iwo by law. Thus all give the news and all are dubbed "official" papers. The pay is too small to quarrel over, an this paper Insisted live years ago, and as all the papers iu the county agree lo now. are always persona who ttppoar to be ''soured" on everything pel turning lo home affairs, They prefei to patronize foreign to home affairs.

They do not like lo patronize home home home milliners, home dressmakers, home papers, hoiut merchants or home anybody. They appear to be enemies to their household, enemies lo those uuoii whom they are dependent for their bread and butter.

Whatever way it. is brought about, it is true that the men who do the business do advertising, or better still, the men who do the advertising do the business." lecturer at Algona says of public libraries: "Statistics demonstrate that to be of use to people generally the public library must be.absolutely free. The smallest charge for their use will deter tre large majority from becoming book birrowerp.

In the city of Springfield. in a single year, after the library was made free, the number of borrowers increased from eleven hundred to over seven thousand, and the circulation ot books from 41,000 to 154,000." By all means let there he a free public library in every town and city of Iowa. The storm Friday was the worst thie section has experienced for over Hfleen years. At daylight the weather was line and the night before beautiful About sunrise the wind started up, increasing in violence until toward night-fall. The thermometers fell from 30 above at sunrise to 18 below at noon.

There was very litlle PUOW but the wind blew dirt, snow and gravel into a veritable blizzard. The storm subsided by 8 or 9 o'clock that evening and by Sunday Iowa's incomparable climate was itself again. Clay county papers flled some pretty big lists before their board of supervisors, viz: Reporter 10fl6, Herald 986, News 942, Everly News 913. It seems funny that In a county having only 400 democratic votes a democratic paper (the Herald) should have such a large list, but then weak-kneed republicans are always anxious to ''stand in" with democratic papers if it can be done for $1 a year. Emmet county has just such fellows.

Walker, who has been through the drouth stricken section of Nebraska, corroborates the worst reports regarding the destitution of the people there. He says IU impossible to exaggerate. The people must have instance or many will perish before spring. Those who could get away have gone, but many could not leave mid HIC now at the mercy of the elements and the charity of the world. Estherville ought to respond to their appeal for aid.

REPUBLICAN believes that all the present cily councllmen, whose tetma expire this spring, should be rejected, in order that the work ao well begun can be carried lo completion.

If the same roem- Uera and the same mayor positively refuse re-election (which they should not do), men In sympathy with and favoring the plans they have Inaugurated should be chosen to carry them out.
