FREE GAS FOR FACTORIES.

The plan of a land syndicate to furnish
free sites for factories has worked well
in other cities. The main features of
the plan are the purchase or option of a
large tract of land, we'll located for
building and manufacturing purposes,
and then giving alternate lots or blocks
for factory sites, under certain condi-
lions, and depending on the increased
value of the remaining land to make the
donation good and yielda profit. Enter
prises of this kind in growing cities have
proved beneficial and profitable.
The free-gas movement in this city is
based on a similar idea, except that it
proposes to furnish free fuel for factO-
ries instead of free sites. Of the two
the former is more important. A factO-
ry site is often a small part of the ex-
pense of a plant, and when a free site is
once obtained the benefit ceases to be
felt. On the other hand, fuel is a con
tinuing expense, and always n of the
largest items of expense in ma%nufactur-
ing. The annual fuel bills of some fact

a site. Free fuel, therefore, is almost
equivalent to the gift of a site every
year. 1t is not only a great advantage
to begin with, but a continuing and per-
petual benefit, amounting to a fair profit
on a large business every year. Moth
ing in the way of a land donation can
equal the inducement of free fuel per-
petually.
If a land syndicate can afford to give
alternate lots or blocks for factory sites
and get the profit out of the land that is
left, landowners along the Belt road
can much better afford to contribute
Ope-tenth part of their land to furnish
free gas for factories. When the facto-
ries, attracted by the offer OF free fuel,
shall come, they will expect to pay a fair
Every factory will increase the value of
adjacent lands, and the continuing offer
of free fuel will be a standing advertise
ment for their sale. If the owner of ten
or twenty acres of idle, unmarketable
land can, by a gift of one or two acres,
bring the remainder into demand, and
either dispose of it at a fair price or hold
it on a rising market, he has certainly
done well. And if the present move
ment succeeds it will benefit not only
the landowners and subscribers, but
the community at large, the poor as well
as the rich, the merchant, the mechanic,
the grocer and the day labOrer. The
establishments of manufactures will BEN
eft everybody, and that is the aim and
object of this movement.

THE underground wire fight in New York
has brought the statement from experts
that the average leakage of gas from I'M
foreground pipes is 5 per cent. and that the
proportion is often as high as 20 per cent.
When it is no more than II per cent. there
is danger of explosion. These assertions
are of especial interest in cities like Indi-
annapolis, where pipes for both Illuminating
and natural gas form a network under the
streets, and where the soil may be satu-
rated with the volatile fluid at any time.
The point raised does not affect the ques-
ton of the advisability of burying electric
wires. except as the danger OF digging up
the streets is concerned, and was only
brought up incidentally.

THE ASYLUM FOR INSANE.

There is no room for doubt that a new
superintendent is needed at the Insane
Hospital. At least one member of the
board that placed DR.. Galbraith in
charge is free to admit that gentleman's
utter unftness for the position, and
everyone who knows anything of the
recent workings of the institution will
corroborate the assertion. If the Carson
board gains control of the hospital DR..
c. E. Wright, of this city, will, it is
announced, accept the position if he can
have full authority. These are two
important "ifs.n The success of the
Carson board is doubtful, and unless it
is much superior to the Harrison Gapen
board, which there is no reason to
suppose is the case, it will not be likely
to give over the patronage" of the
place to the superintendent, but will
continue the system of appointing the
employees and meddling in the manage
ment that has made the present admin
istratiOn so OdiOus. Should the change
be made a better state of affairs will be
brought about under the direction of so
competent a physician as DR.. Wright,
he having already signiied his
intention of securing the assistance of
physicians who have had experience in
the institution. In the meantime the hos
pital is without the proper medical SUI
pervision. The most skillful assistants
have been removed for personal and par
tisan reasons and their places filled with
young and inexperienced men in whose
professional care no sane person would
be willing to trust himself unreservedly.
This is particularly the case with the
wOman's department., from which DR..
Sarah Stockton was lately removed,
after faithful service of years, because
of the petty jealousy and malice of the
management. This department is now
without a female physician-a state of
things that is nothing less than out
rageous and disgraceful. In the days
when properly qualified women doctors
| were unknown, men were necessarily
| required to treat the female patients in
| such institutions, but now that women,
well equipped by the schools and better
| fitted by nature for these duties, are to
be had, the assignment of young male
| physicians to the charge of the insane
women conflicts not only with the pro-
prieties, but with decency. Whoever
| shall finally be given control of the hos
| pital will do we'll to bear this in mind.

A DIFFERENCE of opinion between ex-
Acknowledgement Garland and the Ar
kansas Legislature has resulted in a loss
to him of a two-thousand-dol fee.
The State sued the Little Rock & Mem
phis and Iron Mountain railroads for
taxes. The roads carried the cases to
the United States Supreme Court, where
Garland represented the State and OBJ
tanned a favorable judgment. That is,
he claimed that he represented the State,
but the Legislature voted by a decided
majority that he was never employed,
and rejected his bill.

DEMOCRATIC papers are commenting
on the fact that President Harrison
made twice as many removals from of
fee during the first month of his admin
istration as President Cleveland did.
There is twice as much necessity for re-
movals now as there was four years ago.
The changes made by President Cleve-
land were to theinjury of the public erv-
ice, while those made by President
Harrison are for its restoration. Be-
sides, Cleveland had great difficulty in
finding good men, while President Har.
rison can put his hand on all he wants
One was embarrassed by lack of good

Liquor War in Wisconsin.

RIVER FALLS, Wis, April 5.-The war be-
tween the temperance people and the saloon
keepers has taken a new turn. A saloon
keeper has had arrested, on a charge of
false imprisonment, the Rev. James Evans,
pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church;
the Rev. j. ID. Whitelaw, pastor of the Con-
gregational Church; DR.. T. w. Ashlet, A. r.
Stahl, G.. A. Roberts and Charles Hanson.
The first five men signed an indictment
against saloon-keeper Drukee some time
ago. Drukee was beaten in the Justices
court, but appealed the case. In the higher
court the case was dismissed ON a techni-
cality. Now Drukee prosecutes the party
for false Imprisonment.

wards. This is what would have been
done elsewhere than in Arkansas, and it
has not yet been shown that either the
State or Conway county is bankrupt or
unable to supply the funds. The judges

presentment of the case, and there has
been a great deal of talk about the de-
termination to discover and punish the
assassins, but it seems likely to end in

THE municipal election in Cleveland
resulted in a black eye for Senator
Payne, who sought to make it a personal
vindication. For this purpose N OF his
trusted managers was put up as a can
didate for Mayor against a Republican
candidate who openly denounced him.
In the outcome Payne's candidate was
defeated by LOO majority, 600 mOrethan
Harrison's majority in November. This
is a f~oretaste of what the people of Ohio
will do if they are given a chance at
PAYNE.
