Whatever may he the effect of the
electric ligat, a wide field is opening
for til" gas companies if they have the
,pirit and enterprise to occupy it. For
many years portable gas has been in
use in many parts of London, and has
been sent in copper vessels to all parts
of the country adjacent. Private houses
and small shops having gas fixtures
could have gas served them in vessels
resembling those charged with soda
water regularly AS they were served
with bread by the baker On beer by
the pot, boy. Now the German railroads
are using com dressed gas on all their
lines and in all their passenger cars.
The English government has also adop-
ted compressed gas to light buoys with
the buoy itself being, so to speak
the gasometer. 1t is believed that
with the improvements now projected
one of these Luoys can be made to show
light visible at three miles, and that
will last without repIenishing the gas
ometer, three months.

From AL Sides.

Burnside's Army Bill is being very
thoroughly ventilated and discussed by the
entire press of the northwest and south,
and on all sides it is opposed. 1t seems to
have been the intention of the originators
of the scheme to imperialize our army and
the plan of interested eastern corporations
to rush this bill through congress before
the people could have time to comprehend
its provisions or be heard in opposition. In
this they have failed. as within the past
two weeks the obnoxious features of this
bill have been so thoroughly shown up.
that he will indeed be a bold congressman
who will dare vote for it in its present
shape,or vote for it at ali; for whoever had
the framing of the bill has so constructed it
thatthe obnoxious features run through the
whole of it. The American people are not
ready for this kind Of business and will not
have it. It is an insidious attack upon
our form OF government, more TO be fear
ed than even the stealing OF the presidency.
