THEM BE THANKED.


Will you allow me q short space in your
highly esteemed and reliable paper for the
purpose of throwing little light on the ex-
cellent gas consumed by the citizens of Wash
ington. 1t is great benefit to our commu-
nifty to have such beneficial gas company
one that looks after and attends to the inter-
ests of the gas-burning inhabitants. Even
the travellers from other parts visiting our
city are delighted with the brightness of the
gas and are wonderfully surprised at the bril-
liant light thrown out from our street lamps
In sitting around your fireside reading, or
at your desk busily occupied attending to
your duties, have no doubt you have been
obliged to cease your labor and stare with as
tonishment at the blilliancy of the gas jet
in fact was compelled to cease my occupa-
tion and gaze upon it, as baby gazes upon
the works Of watch.
Now Mr.. Editor, such valuable journal as
The REPUBLICAN should, think, suggest
through its columns that the thanks of the
citizens of this city be rendered to the Wash
ington Gas Light company for the benefits
we, the citizens have attained through their
efforts.
l would be thankful as would the majority
of our citizens, if the gas company would give
us a steady light and not try to put on the
electric patent,
Hoping that have not trespassed on too
much Of your valuable space, am yours, for
the good of the community,

or something over $50 per cent on the omount
originally put in by the philanthropic Mr..
Bartol, who furnishes light (heaven save the
mark) to the people of Washington cheaper
than people get it in other cities and only
clears 750 per cent. in thirty years To fol-
low Mr.. Glover along to the conclusion of his
statement, it is found that Mr.. Bartol keeps
on paying himself Is per cent. in 1879, and q
like sum in $780, dwindling down to only 8
per cent. in the first two months of 1881, the
close of Mr.. Glover's statistics. And yet this
is not quite the close for Mr. Glover, After
finishing his statement of dividends paid in
n manner that shows that he is quite ex-
hausted with the subject and literally
gorged with fat dividends wrung out
of the pockets of the people Of Washington,
Jumps the next plum in one round statement
that Mr. Bartol still had on haud on the
twenty-ffth of February, 1884, the comforta-
BILE cash surplus of $3.50, ,000-a reserve, he calls
it. In reference to this reserve it may be
stated that Mr. Bartol says to congress that an
ticipating competition from the electric light,
hedeemed il duty prepare forsuch contin-
gency, and has retained and invested $3.50, ,O00
Whether he intends to apply it in preventing
the electric light companies from getting a
charter from congress or in reducing the price
of Bartol gas to a figure that will make it un-
proftableto competing companies is not clearly
shown.
II thlS large surplus OF reSerNe IL INTENDED
for the latter purpose The REPUBLICAN will
certainly commend its investment, and the
people Of Washington will, no doubt be de-
cidedly grateful. Or If he would invest some
of it in the materials from which illuminating
gas is usually made and give us something
that would illuminate, people would feel more
kindly.
THE GAS swINDLE AND THE REMEDY.
To he Editor.
As one citizen at least am glad to see THE
REPUBLICAN, and the commissioners going Tor
the gas company
A more outrageous monopoly does not exist
in the country. No one who has not looked
into the matter carefully, has any idea of the
extent of the swindle that is being perpe-
trated on the public by this concern.
/ do not, however, agree with those who
think the remedy is to be found either in
chartering another company, or in the cleo
trio light. IL is no better to be swindled by
a new company than by the old one, aud the
twenty-five cents reduction offered by the
new company, and which will last only long
enough to enable them to be bought off, is not
m adequate remedy. You may put all the

MORE GRowL ABOUT GAS.


In reading the article in Saturdays paper
headed "The Growl About Gas" which is
only one of series that has appeared in the
daily press during the last year and previ-
ously on the same subject, l was forcibly
struck with the meekness displayed by the
residents of Georgetown, from whom so much
as "growl" Is seldom, If ever, heard, al
though they are bled by the monopoly that
furnishes them with one of the necessities of
life to the tune of $3.50 per 1000 feet (ess 25
cents for prompt payment) for the privilege
of exclusively using its extra highly concen-
trated extract of coal How the citizens of
Washington must envy those of Georgetown
because they are furnished by "a conscientious
corporation with strictly pure (2) gas at
merely nominal advance of over 28 per cent.

of "growl" from over here being seldom

bold to request that you sit down on this con

larly while you are engaged in the crusade in

side Of the creek to the fact that If the citizens
of Washington have good cause TO "growl -
and no one but stakeholder will deny that
they have-those Of Georgetown ought to see
them and go 2S per cent better. And just
here, Mr.. Editor should like to ask you IL
congress possess the same power TO regulate
the price of gas furnished by the Georgetown
company as it does that Of the Washington
city company, and would the district commits
that congress use that power to the relief of
