The Gas Question.
Editors Of the Register:

Editors OF the Register:
There seems TO be some little anxiety
among our citizens IN reference to what
the city will do in the purchasing of the
City Gas Works, as provided for in the
Charter. 1t would seem that influence
lie some what brought to bear by this
Gas Company to create an impression
that the city could not manage to make
it pay. The city, think is just as
competent to run these works and make
It pay a handsome income as the present
Secretary, who processes to be the main
spring in all its movements. They will
argue with you because their price Is
$3.50 per thousand feet, that in many
other cities the charge is as much and
more than this, and that they are
what they claim, on the average, that
our people have no reason to complain.
This would all seem fair enough; but
this Gas Company takes good care not
TO tell that these cities and towns are
kpps,lsd by law 10 make q standard

Who is RespOnSibIe.

There are now pending in the SUI
prene Court Of the United States, and
set for decision at the December term
two cases in which the State of West
Virginia is interested, but in which the
State has no counsel employed. Werefer
to the Marshall county suits against
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, the
railroad being now the plaintiff, and
in consequence of which the Sheriff of
Marshall county has been enjoined from
the collection Of the taxes assessed upon
the property Of the road.
In one of these suits, the ri ght OF the
State to tax the property of the rail-
road at dNis directly involved; and IN
the other the question of any State
jurisdiction whatever in suits against
the railroad is Immediately at issue.
To cav that these suits are Of vital I'M
portance to the people of the State is to
put the matter very mildly indeed. The
property of the railroad within the
limits Of the State is estimated at about
six million dollars. Of course, the re-
moval Of this amount from the tax
schedule will necessitate an increase OF
the rate upon other property. and hence
the people at large are directly interest
ed in retain ing upon the schedule rail-
road property.
In the other case, the whole question
of the power of citizen to sue the road
in the courts of the State is involved;
the decision turning upon the power of
the railroad TO remove to the United
States Court all suits in which it is q
party.
Either through negligence, or wilful
hostility to the interests of the State,
the Governor has heretofore neglected
to employ any legal counsel to represent
the State in these suits and defend the
public interests. Mr.. LAMB, OF this
city, is attorney for Marshall county,
bit the State has no attorney what
ever. Now, if these suits re-
su'. adversely to the interests Of the
St e, we wish it distinctly understood
thc Governor STEVENSON and the Rad,-
cal party are responsible therefor. The
decision in the cases will be probably
rendered before the Democracy come
into the exercise OF the power won AT
the recent election, and for the default
which now threatens to deprive the
State Of a large revenue the Radical
party is to be held responsible. We
have alluded to the matter simply for
the purpose Of fixing the responsibility
where it justly belongs.

There are but few preparations OF medicine
which have withstood the impartial judg-
ment of the people for any length OF time.
Ono NJ the few which we have now in mind,
and which has been long time familiar to
nearly every household In the lana, Is the
celebrated Hostetters Stomach Buffers.
Their almost universal sale and use, and
their emphatic endorsement from all por-
tons of the country, compel the admission
that they must be specific fer the ailments
for which they are recommended. Letters
before us attest their efficacy in diseases of
the throat, bowels and liver. In that truly
terrible complaint, dyspepsia, they are re-
garded as a sure cure. In t1ttspurgI, Where
these Bitters are manufactured, their sale
for home use is immense. This fact alone
speaks volumes in their favor.-ExtrdctS
from the Mliscoti,s C0uia', IOtcd, Fec. Z, 1861.

A National Medicine.

One can hardly pick up newspaper or
turn street corner nowadays that he
does not find staring him in the face, the
announcement that Prof So-and-so has
just discovered a medicine which Is a pam
acea for all the Ills that flesh is, or may be,
heir to. These wonderful" discoveries
usually have an existence OF a few months,
then disappear from public notice. The
reason Of their sudden extinguishment is
apparent. They were humbugs. At the
outset all medical preparations have an
equal chance for success, as ali are equally
unknown; but the chat is soon winnowed
from the grain by the practical test which
An unprecedented public applies to all things.

eliminating gas worth from 25 to so
ner cent more than our city gas. The
Wheeling Gas Company is not compelled
bv law or charter to. make anything but
gas, whether it gives light or not.
Ii is an established fact, the world
over, that poor gas, such as is made
here, will measure through metre
much greater than good Illuminating
gas.
Again they don't tell you the differ
ence in the cost Of manufacturing this
gas and the gas manufactured by other
cities. For instance, take the city OF
Detroit, which furnishes gas for y. ~;
Cleveland and Milwaukee, 500 each;
Chicago, $500; Cincinnati, I'D and
other cities the size Of our own that
copld be mentioned that furnish gas at
less cost than here, where every one Of
them has to transport their coal from
Pennsylvania and other States by rail-
road, lake and river at cost at no one
place of less than 90 cents and in some
places as much as 35 cents per bushel /;
also being required to have large cap
ital invested for the procurement of this
coal at a proper season of the year,
while our Gas Company pays from
8 to 10 cents per bushel, with no capt.
tai invested for this purpose, the coal
being furnished from the mines not
more than three-foarths of mile dis
tant from the works. II is also
similar az to the other ingredients
in the cost of manufacturing gas here.
Time, fire brick, tile and labor are as
cheap here as in any city in the United
States, and we would ask why is it this
exhorbitant charge is made here? This
Gas Company will tell you that those
places have more consumers than we
have and can afford cheaper gas. The
reason is they are not 80 grasping for a
few dollars as the Wheeling Gas Com
pany seems to be. You put your gas at
a fair price and extend your capacity for
making and for storage for same, run
your pipes to the Seventh Ward and ex-
tend them to Bridgeport and South
Wheeling, then l have no doubt you
will have plenty Of consumers. But
these enterprises you will not I'M
dertake without you can be- guar
anteed 10 per cent You are too
penurious. The sooner the city
gets rid of such a selfish company
the sooner she will become a city of
some importance. Look at the city OF
Pittsburgh; you can find the city lighted
by gas in all its streets and most of the
public alleys. Why, sir, the number OF
private gas lights outside of the peoples
houses far exceeds all our public lamps
in our city. People there are not afraid
to burn gas; they get Illuminating gas
worth, would say, fifty per cent more
than our gas at cost of only 81 80 per
| 1000 feet, while our illuminating gas
costs our citizens to get the same guam
tity of light over $500. These are
facts that our people should know, and
feel satisfied cannot be denied fairly.
am sorry, Mr.. Editor, to tax your
time in presenting so long an article
but it is proper and ght that we should
know some facts about this enormous
gas tax. feel satisfied that gas can
| be furnished in this city at $3.50 and
make more money for their stockhold-
ers than they do now and certainly give
better satisfaction to all.
