THE gas company of Austin, unlike
oil others in the United States as far
as we have dealt with them, lays down
service pipes and sets meters without
cost to the consumer. The consump-
tion of gas in the city is rapidly grow
ing, and though barkeepers. we are
told, pay $4OO or $4,000 monthly to illu-
inmate gateways to perdition, the same
volume of light, when prohibition
achieves its proper task, will light up
highways trod by industry, intelligence
and virtue. The consumers of gas
soon regard it as indispensable as liv-
ing streams of water that come down
from the clouds, and making paths of
cleaning silver across the plains,
cleave the mountains above the capital
and here are uplifted by steam and en-
ter our houses to expel uncleanliness
and exile whisky. Give Austin clean
hness as it has perfect light and God
given beverage and baths, and then an
expurgation of its morals by closing
the breeding places of vice, and the
capital of Texas must become the most
attractive as it is in its physical aspects
the most beautiful spot on the CONT
nent

THE QUANTITY AND COST OF
INTOXICATING DRINKS.

Among the evils resulting from the
use of Intoxicating drinks is the i'm
mense amount of money expended for
them. In 1870 the number of gallons
Of proof spirits containing nearly equal
weights of water and alcohoD upon
which tax was collected " as ~, 425, 1853
gallons and 6,Os1, $40 barrels of fer
mented liquors. Commissioner Della
no, in, his Internal Report for 1869,
says: SIN the absence of reliable data
to fix the annual consumption of dis
titled spirits, We are left to conjecture.
Were l to express an opinion on this
subject should place the amount at
not less than eighty millions gallons" :"
That Mr.. Delano is not very far wrong
Is seen in the fact that the census bureau
reported for the year ending June 1,
1860, 00,412, ,581 gallons of domestic
spirits.
1t is therefore safe to assume that
the consumption of distilled spirits in
the form of beverages is not less than
the taxable quantity of spirits reported
by the Internal Revenue Department in
187O-viz., 72, 425, 1853 gallons. To
what is used in the arts
and in various ways besides drinking,
we have made the estimate 5000, 900
gallons less than Commissioner DelanO.
ADD to this 100000 gallons
which evade the law; to this add 10,-
900, 900 or 12, 900, 900 gallons of Cali
fornia wine, and the dilutions of dis
titled spirits that reach!the consumer,
which do not contain over 40 per cent.
of alcohol, equal to further addition
of $500, 900, and we have about 30,-
900 gallons which are not embraced in
the official enumeration, which will
fully make up the amount of liquor
used mechanically and incidentally.
Now, DR.. Young, the chief of the
Bureau of Statistics, makes the follow
ing statement: In the absence of
accurate data, the following is an esti-
mate of the sales of liquor in the
United States during the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1871:
