Natural Gas Wanted,

Owners of gas stock had better sell out
before the day of retribution comes for
them. There is no set Of people who are
more obnoxious to the public sense than
6 the managers of gas companies. They gen.
orally enjoy monopoly and make use of
their power to obtain eXtravagant prices
for their gas. Nothing seems stranger than
the very nigh prices now paid for gas 1t
is well known that its manuf acture is very
cheap The materials of the water gas
cost but about fifteen cents per thousand
more costly. AT the West Point military
: academy. where the gas works are under
government control, the price charged isbut
10 cents per thousand feet; which covers
AL the cost of manufacture out of West
moreland coal, and leaves surplus fund
which sufices to pay for the chandeliers
and gas fixtures in the houses. 1t is mani
! fest that if coal gas can lie furnished for %
cents a thousand feet to small and widely
separated community, such as that at
West Point, it can be furnished at
that price, with large profit, to a
densely populated city. How it is then
that q charge of two dollars a thousand is
endured in cities is not easily understood.
Evidently there are big leaks somewhere
The Philadelphia city gas works must have
a number of big leaks. In this city, the
company has plant not worth fifty
thousand dollars capitalized at three hun
died thousand, and we have to pay the in
terest on it, and just as much profit as
the managers want which is Just
as much as they can get.
Gas as well as water should be supplied
by the city. The supply is necessarily
monopoly; and no monopoly in the
necessarie5 of life should be per-
mitted when it can be avoided, by
the assumption of that supply by the public
authorities.
This is about to become very easy be-
cause Of the practicability of bringing in
the natural gas from the West in pipes. A
COMPANY has already been formed to supply
The East in this way from the natural
resorvoirs beyond the Alleghenies..
We suggest to our city authorities that
they inquire into the expediency of secur-
ing supply of natural gas for the use of
our people. Either alone or in connection
vita other cities on line between us
and the reservoir it may be found
To be advisable 10 lay line of
pipes or it may be deemed preferable to
let the pipes be laid by individual enter
prise. If, however, the gas can be
piped to Us, we should think that the better
plan would be to secure our own supply
and our own pipes.
The matter is worth looking into and
we think the probability of the advent Of
natural gas into the East as an illuminator
is sufficient to induce wise men to take
time by their forelock and sell out their
artificial gas stock.

Pennsylvania And the New Orleans Ex.
pOsitiOn


One OF the state commissioners appointed
to look after Pennsylvania's exhibit at New
Orleans is r. IL. Thomas, and his energy
and general administrative ability well
qualify him for the place. He denies the
recently quoted remark attributed to him
. that lac was thoroughly disgusted with
Pennsylyana's prospects for an exhibit
worthy of her. He acknowledges some
disappointment in the completeness of the
display, but is hopeful that before the close
Of the present month it will come up to the
fnll measure of what it should be.
Ii Is much TO be feared that Mr.. Thomas
Is Of q too sanguine disposition concerning
fennsylyania' interest in the New Or
leans exposition. The bottom fact is--aad
i j. ilumiliating euough-that Pennsylya-
liia Is showing about as much enthusiasm

A ProiitIess Juaujry.


If the United States Senate had nothing
more important to do, it would be eNcusa-
BILE in lending itself to the elucidatiOn uf
the historical question, which General Sher-
man, having nothing to do, proposes to the
war department. But the Senate has other
more important work, and was not wise to
pass Senator Hawley's resolution, calling
upon the war department for this Sherman
communication. The general, in the en-
joyment of his large salary and large leisure,
may pro6tably amuse himself by contrib
uting to the history of the times but he
need not burthen the war department or
Congress with his theories and facts. The
newspapers and magazines are open to him,
and he has no occasion to assume to bc Supe-
rior to this ordinary method OF commune
cation with the world.
From all appearances the general has
barkedu up the wrong tree in his venture upon
Davis. If there is a squirrel in the woods,
il is not where he has located him. lie
says that he saw letter from Davis to a
Southern governor, now in Congress.
threatening force TO keep his state in the
Confedeacy. Davis says he never wrote
such a letter, and all the Southern Cover
nors in Congress say they never received
such from him. Senator Lamar says he
was, all through the war. on the closest
terms Of intimacy with Davis. and he
knows that he never held such view of
his power. 1t is public history that such a

Under these denals of the truth of hi,

it quite impossible to maintain it

letter and does not know any one

ter is forcibly exhibited in the fact that The
Senate has been for two days debating
whether Davis is a traitor the fact being
that if he is, all the members of the Senate
who took part in the rebellion are traitors
too. What folly it was for senators to de
bate whether senators are traitors, wheT
the fact was so clear that if they ar
