aanrrison,s Southern Policy.

Probably no man in Indiana in the nation
knows as much about Harrson's proposed South
er:l policy as Superintendent of Public Instruc-
tion Lafollette. Mr. Lsfollette told me this AZ
ternoon that Que evening before Gen. Harrsons
election he spent several hours converslng with
him on tho Southern question, at which timo the
Gcuer.l expressed his views very freely.
| asked him what General Harrison's ideas
were and he said I'm the first pace, he will
stand firm for two purposes. First berwill not
allow imported Northern carpctbag politicians to
hold office down there and usurp the rights of cit
liens second he will not appoint to office ignor.
ant negroes or ignorant white people simply bo.
causc they vote the republican ticket. While his
policy will not be of the milk and water sort, such
as Hayes's was, it will be fair, and, predict,
highly satisfactory to the South"
'.You don't mean to he understood that no Will
anpoint democrats 10 otlice2
THAT is what he will 90 wherever there is no
y hite republican who is talented aud respectable
enough TO command the respect of his neighbors
and be realizes the fact that ia many parts of the
South there is not for miles and miles al edu-
Gated man ard one who is fit to hold office that
votes the republican ticket There are many men
in tho South who vote the democratic ticket who
arc really republicans That is, they are protec-
tionisls and in sympathy with the republican
party on many other of the live issues of the day.
They simply vote tho democratic ticket for his
toricsl reasons, because they insist that the re-
publican banner is stained with the biood OF thelr
fellow man. Many of them ara honest enough to
admit this
lit is this class General Harrison will recog-
nize. They will hold the Offices in the South dur
ing the coming administration. General HsrIi-
son thinks that by treating these people kindly
and generously, ard by eeyating such men to
Office as have the confidence of the people, that it
will make republicans of thousands who now vote
the democratic ticket for sentimental reasons and
in the end greatly strengthen the republican par
" in the South. He also thinks this will solve
the social question there and bring abou:a friend

The New Gas Audi Aleeram Parten

L Et -Nt0 .AlcSA SibA
TO the Editor Of the Alexandria Gazette:
I have noticed your Several criticisms OF
the gas DOW furnished to consumers from
the city works. Permit me to say that as
the sponsor for the new gas, do not object
to any just criticism of it, but in my iudg
ment, your conclusions are based upon a
misconception Of the facts.
l. The gas now furnished from the
works is of 81 to % candle power. This is
better quality of Illuminating gas than liz
furnished TO any other city in the United
S ates within my knowledge. The average
gas of most cities is l6 TO II candle power.
> Ii any part Of this city does not re
ceive enough gas 10 give lsrge clear, foil
white light from the burner, thia ia not the
fault Of the gas, but of the small street
mains which are totally insufficient to sup
ply the demand. Some OF these arc of only
one inch diameter and this partially filed
up hy years of usage, and thesa mains are
The only means Of supplying populous sec
ton Of the city. No gas, however good, can
remedy this defect. The only remedy is
larger mains. Hence it is clear that the
new gas cannot be justly held responsible
for this trouble. The same trouble existed
when the old gas was used. A proof Of this
is that where the mains are large enough,
the gas is uniformly good.
s There cGu be no smell from the fame OF
the now gas If any odor is perceptble it
will be found 10 come from leakage in the
pipes, which plumber can promptly rene
DIV. In every case investigated this ha>
been found 10 he true, and as soon "a the
leak was stopped the smell stopped. Hence
the new gas should not be held responsible
for this trouble.
As matter of TACT many consumers
find that they get more light from the new
gas than they ever had before, and in many
cases one burner is now found sufficient
where two were formerly used.
5 Experienced practical gas men testify
that no better gas can be made than we are
now making in Alexandria. The president
of one Of the largest gas companies in the
country paid a visit 10 the Alexandria work.
n few days since aud thoroughly examined
the new plant and the gas. On leaving he
said: You are making most excellent and
brilliant gas | have never seen better"
This testimony is eli the more valuable be-
cause it comes from one who ia interested in
another system vi gas inuluitCtu'e' "H'ou
ip in direct competition with our own.
The foregoing. you will perhaps agree
with rue. adequately meets the questions OF
IN the quality of the gn', (2) supply of gas,
and ,3rodor Of gas. Each point mentioned
is susceptible of easy proof, and any candid
critic ia courteousy invited TO thoroughly
test the matter.
Gas consumers will find Tint while the
new gas gives them better light their gas
bills will be lower than heretofore, even at
The same price per 600 feet. And if the
price should in the future he reduced their
bills will he correspondingiy lowered.
