A GrowI About Bad Gas.

MEssRs. EDITORS: NsAl.-l 5
Why in the maine Of God can't<we have
better gas9 q.
March %. s-" n5s.-t t.i'
We commend this somewhat energetic
inquiry to the Gas Commissioners and to
Council. The difficulty, we under.
stand, is: First, that the methods employ.
ed at the gas.works arc not such as are
necessary to produce good gas; and, sec
ond, that owing to want Of capacity in
both works and pipes, the supply Of gas
Is insufficient; SO that we would have
poor light even II the quality of the gas
were good. An enlargement OF works
and pipes is now under consideration by
& Council. A Cincinnati engineer re.
Gently examined the works and reported
to. Council the improvements which he
deemed necessary, and the cost of max
ing them. Should Council proceed
according tn the advice of this gentleman
one ofthe difficulties in tho way of a good
gas supply would be obviated; but while
that may secure enough gas, we shall still
not have good gas till as much pains is
taken with the quality as Is now taken tc
make IT measure well. Important i'm
provements in gas manufacture have been
applied In some cities, and IL Is to lIC
hoped that while the work Of renovatng
the gas works here is in process an effort
will be made to find them out and apply
them here. There ought 10 be State
law prescribing the illuminating power o.
all gas sold and a rigid inspection Of me
tiers. Until We have such a law we may
expect to have an inferior quality of gas
and to pay for good deal more light
than weget

THE free traders have great deal tc
say about tariffs being devised to make
"monopolies" of the industries they pro
tect. For example, because the manufac
ture OF pig iron is protected by q tariff
there is . howl among them about The
"pigiron monopoly" This is a fallacy o.
the shallowest sort, There might be such
monopoly il everybody but those en-.
gagged In the manufacture were forbidden
to enter the business. But there canibe
mo monopoly where everybody is free to
compete with others. 1.-THE manufacture
ofpig iron Is so immensely profitable un-
der the tariff, why do not these free
traders themselves, go into the business
The fact Is that Il only a little time Is
given, the rewards Of labor and capital
will so regulate themselyes that no indus
try will yield extortionate profits for any
considerable length Of time; because
whenever any particular branch Of man
uiactnre Is found to be unusually protlta-
bic, others will hasten 70 engage in it, till
blythe laws Of supply and demand their
competition brings down tie price to the
lowest point 1t which the work can be
probably pursued. This Is illustrated
by the present condition OF iron manutac.
ture. Iron is very high and can be made
with a wide margin O. profit But That
1t Is no monopoly shown by the move.
ment in all the iron and coal regions oil
the country to put up.new blast furnaces
No less than eighty, we hear, will be
erected in Pennsylvania alone the present
season. There can be no doubt that if
the duty on iron ia simply let alone a few
years, the facilities for It's manufacture
willthus be so increased that tho profits
will be brought down 10 a very modera to
fgureand iron will be furnished at home
as cheaply ~ II is made abroad, counting
out the difference in wages. So long
however, as the tariff is TO DO tinkered,
or threatened with overthrow, with each
recurring Congress, people are timid
about investing intho protected industries
and those who happen to be already in
them do, for the time, have the profits Of
monopolles without having the monopolies
themselves. What the country needs to
develop her Industrial resources and at
the same time bring down the prices Of
home manufactures to the lowest point
consistent with fair profit, Is high tariff

A Countryman Alarmed.
A SCENE AT THE OPERA.

A New York correspondent says =
Pauline Lucca created a genuine sensa-
ton the other evening in ERA Diavolo. -
She represents Zerlina in very natural
and piquant way, according to her own
nOtiOns-nOt those OF any of her lyric
predecessors or contemporaries. You
remember the scene of the bed chamber,
in which the heroine stands singing be-
fore her mirror and disrObes for the
night-a scene that the severe MendeI-
sshOn declared he never could have writ
ten. Auber, Frenchman, must have
taken particular delight in it because
there is suggested by it no little ambigu-
ity of what is to come next. Lucca
seemed DESTROYS of making the passage
emphatic by transporting her dressing
table to the front of the stage, and COM
ing forward tie prepare herself for the
couch. In the audience was plain and
honest country gentleman on his first
visit to the opera with his wife. He
had told her much of the sins and mi
quities of the great city: but until he
had entered the Academy that night he
had no idea of an opera, and consequent
| " felt the deepest interest in its pro-
gress. When Zerlina had removed her
| bracelets, taken down her hair and put
off her bodice the simple minded rustic,
who had watched her eagerly, revealed
the liveliest emotions of apprehension,
not to say disgust. He looked around
evidently surprised that the elegantly
dressed ladies still kept their seats.
Then. rising. he said to his consort.
"Well, Mary, we'd better get ont Of this.
/ This may be all right for the city folks,
but it's no place for us. | never seen
| the opera before, and | don't want to see
it again. | can stand almost anything,
/ but when it comes to a woman undreSsin'
| herself before the public, you can count
me out Come along, Mary, we may be
/ green, but, by cracky, we are decent
anyhow" So speaking, and with indig-
nant chances at the high-brcd indiffer-
entists around him, he and his spouse
/ departed in anger and confusion. If he
had but tarried but faw minutes lon
! ger he would have discovered the scene
/ to be harmless, though | must confess ii
/ has always seemed to me tritie too sug-
gestive; nor do I wonder that man or
woman who had never witnessed an
opera should fall into such an error as
the plain gentleman from SCOharrie.
There is evidently a little rOWdyishncN~
in lucca'S composition. She seemed.
the other evening. to relish the scuNa-
ton she created 10y italicising, 50 to
/ speak. the brd,chamhrr scene Of Fra
! Diayolo She enjoys. | should iudgr,
