THE readers of the Delaware Col
lege "Review" will doubtless feel graft
fed that the discussion on "co.educa-
ton" has at last come to an end in that
journal. 1t was very tame affair,
and "Justice" was an overmatch for
"Alumnis" from the very beginning.
This subject is question no longer.
Forty years of experience have decid-
ed it in the affirmative. The princi-
pie is yearly gaining ground, and root
ing out old prejudices. Co-educahon
now exist in more than thirty Of our
frst-class literary institutions, and not
one single instance where it has been
adopted has it been abandoned. An
experience of twelve years in Della
ware College has given its favorable
testimony. The exclusion Of the young
ladies at this day would be regarded
as a retrograde movement in the di-
rection of exploded barbarism. Our
young friends would do well to leave
these weighty matters to the "old
heads" to settle.

estly devoted TO the work. We want
our system of taxation reformed, we
want the reform of the civil service
completed, and many other matters of
more or less importance will demand
treatment in the near future. Nor is
it for the near future alone that such
a party is needed, but for as long
time as American society continues to
progress.
"The progress of society does not
depend exclusively nor even mainly
either on political agencies or partisan
agencies; yet it cannot continue for an
indefinite period without a concomi-
taut progress in politics. With the
lapse of time, abuses grow up that re-
quire to be removed, old institutions
grow obsolete, and new laws are per-
petually required to meet the exigen-
cies of advancing civilization; and UNI
less these wants are supplied, the pros
gress of society will be impeded.
This being the case, the need of a
party of progress is obvious, for no
other can be depended on to do the
work required A party whose lead
.ers take no interest in reforms, and
will not take Il step in advance until
driven by public opinion to do so, is
wholly inadequate 10 the work; yet
this is only kind Of party we have in
the country now Democrats
, have for many years been ayowedly a
conservative party, and only radical
change of policy on their part can
convert them into party Of progress,
"The people, however, are deter
mined on having certain reforms eft.
fected, and they will not much longer
+ endure a policy of inactior from both
3 their national parties. The American
people are determined on career Of
d progress. Already their material
}, progress has been wonderful, and in
IS tellectual and moral progress will moi
o be long delayed. They demand, there
: fore, a progressive policy on the part
= of their rulers, and the party that vii
IS pursue such a policy is the party tina
d will rule the country in the future
l. Politicians, then, would do well tt
Is give heed to this fact. 1t is Of Sigh
IN Importance, comparatively, which
N party wins the election next autumn
but it is Il question of no little interes
l. what party will take its stand in tn
IL path of progress in the years TO come
a. If party leaders are wise, therefore
at they will look beyond the presen
If, year and the conditions of immediat
or success, and will adopt policy tina
g. will bring their party into harmon

d. people, and make it potent agenc

THE GAS WAR.


The New Company Meets the Reduction
Made by the Old Company-The Out
look for Cheap Gas.
The reduction in the price Of gas by the
Savannah Gas Light Company from 81 80
to 81 per 1000 feet, announced in the
MORNING NEWS yesterday, and the re-
duction announced by the Mutual Gas
Light Company to-day, to meet the cut,
has given the impression that a gas war
is imminent.
A NEWS reporter called upon President
Green. of the Savannah Gas Light Com
panv. Yesterday. with the inquiry whether
the cut meant a war. and whether there
was any probability Of further reduction
Immediately in event the new company
reduced its price 10 meet that announced
in the NEWS yesterday morning. Mr..
Green replied that he was unpre-
pared TO say what course the
company would pursue. 1t had
announced at the outset, three years ago,
that il would supply gas as cheap as any
other company in the city. Whether
there would be any further reduction i'm
mediatelv il was impossible for him TO
say. as the company had taken no steps
further than TO authorize the reduction
already announced. In carrying out the
pledge to its patrons, IL would, OF course,
meet any reduction that might be made
BY the new company, If it went to %
cents per thousand.
Secretary Thompson, OF the Mutual
Company, was found at his Office. 1--WE
are ready to meet the cut" he said. land
on and alter tomorrow the price Of gas
furnished by Us will he 81 per thousand
feet-the same rate as that Of the old
company. We are prepared for the fight,
and are ready TO meet any reduction that
NAV be made"
DO YOU anticipate any further reduc-
ton immediately - asked the reporter.
Il am unprepared to say, Of course, what
the next move will be, but whatever il is,
we will supply gas as cheap as any other
c0muanv in Savannah. When the
Mutual Company was organized the
old company was selling gas tor S. 80
Dor thousand feet. 1t is now selling at 81
Der thousand. We are thoroughly
equipped with apparatus and a plant as
perfect as any in the country. We are
able TO manufacture gas at cost below
that Of any coal gas company, and are
prepared 10 fight our way in any competi-
ton that may arise"
The general impression is that no fur
ther reduction VIII be made during the
month and that either a compromise VIII
be entered into by that time, or the pres
ent price will be maintained during the
winter. II is claimed by both companies
that there is no profit in gas at the price
TO 20 into effect to-day. and that the adj
vantage Of the reduction is wholly with
the consumer. so long as the price is
kept down. however, the public is satisfied
10 let the gas companies fight it out as
they will
