THE GAS SUPPLY

The annual report of the Philadelphia
Company contains decided interest to
the large number of stockholders of that
corporation in the indication it gives of
the prosperity of their property. In that
respect the statement is satisfactory as
showing steady maintenance of earnings
and large reduction of the bonds and
floating debt
=, The most vital interest to the general
public is in the light thrown by the report
on the probable continuance of an ade-
quate supply of the gas fuel. On this
point the report shows that a large amount
of gas territory is in reserve, and that by
following oil developments considerable
supply of gas is constantly secured. This
reinsurance is modified, however, by the
final statement of the report that "while
we can see no good reason to anticipate
such decrease in the supply of natural
gas as to render fuel gas plant necessary
In the near future, yet such steps should
be taken to secure property for manu-
featuring purposes. The last clause
contains practical qualification of the
previously expressed opinion that is some
what significant. But the public is per-
mitted to hope that there will be con-
siderable continuance of the present gas
supply before there shall be further ad-
vance in the price, which would raise it
from the rank of necessity to that of a
LUXURY

WHICH Is CHEAPERe,

President Roberts declaration that the
question whether the all-rail routes can
carry freight more cheaply than the lake
and-rail routes, to be settled by the
opening rate war, contains nothing the
public can object to. If they can do it,
the corresponding reduction of freights
will be gladly accepted by the business
interests. But this assertion should estop
all future references to the opening con-
test as an example of the ruinous effect
of competition. No one compels the rail
routes to carry as cheaply as the lake
routes. Their assertion that they can do
so, and their attempt to demonstrate it,
carries the assertion that they can do it at
profit. Otherwise their war is an at
tempt to freeze out the lake-and-rail lines
to which, if they can carry it the more
cheaply, the freight naturally belongs.
In one case the future plea of ruin by
competition is shallow untruth; in the
other it is an example of ruin not for com
petitive purposes, but for the purpose of
killing off competition. Mr.. Roberts re.
mark puts the matter in its right light;
but the old talk of ''ruinous competition"
may be relied upon to make its appearance
in the course of time.

A FREE COINAGE CANDIDATE

The Atlanta Constitution, which has as
sumed the function of the Southern organ
of the Hill boom, points to the vote of
that New York statesman on the Idaho
funding bill as a proof that he is in favor
of free coinage. ''Should the question of
free coinage ever come squarely before
the Senate" declares the Constitution,
''Senator Hill would vote for it.''
The statement is well-founded, as there
is as much reason in voting for free
coinage as for the amendment to the bill
on which this vote was cast Accepting
David B. Hill as afree coinage man, we
are therefore confronted with the anom-
ally that the POLITICAL machinery of New
York-the State where the opposition to
free coinage is supposed to be most deadly
is to present to the Democratic Conven-
ton Presidential candidate in favor of
free coinage. Does the political machin-
cry behind Hill nisrepresent New York,
or has there been gigantic mistake about
the attitude of that State on the silver
issue?
The question goes little further. If
Hill should get the Democratic nomina-
tion, would New York throw aside its
financial interests and cast its electoral
vote in favor of Hill and free coinage, or
would the Hill ticket be beaten by the
demogoguery of its, candidate in his own
stronghold?

WEDNESDAY. APRIL q 1892. -.
TWELVE PAGES
aNARCHY'S PROPHET.

The trial of Ravachol, the man of many
names and more crimes, was begun in
Paris yesterday. According to the An
archist's speech, as found in our cable, he
assumes an air of bravado and self
righteousness which is in itself little less
revolving than his transgressions against
the law To hear common murderer as
sert that his conscience was offended by,
and called for acts of violence to avenge,
the execution of two men according to
law because they were the fathers of fam
lilies would be ridiculous were it not dis
gusting. 81 wish to see anarchy estab-
lished and the whole people as one great
family, each member ready to share what
he has with his brethren" Such are the
words of man whose whole life has been
fragrant example Of general depravity
and disregard of the rights of his fellow
beings in every direction.
If ever course of action were calculated
to retard the progress of social improve
ment it is found in outrsges as an adver-
tising medium for such ideas as those
quoted. That there are glaring social in
eQualities amounting to positive injustice
to-day cannot be well denied. But that
they cannot be lessened by honest men of
convictions mistaken enough to have re-
course to violence is even more certain.
And that man addicted to indiscriminate
robbery, idleness and bloodshed should
seek to cloak his criminality under an
audacious advocacy of social reform is as
harmful to the cause he processes to serve
as it is unlikely to ward off the extreme
penalty which is his due.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-04-27

early and rather grotesque struggles of the
boys with the police" Consequently he
concludes that crying need is the estab-
lishment of small parks and Fairgrounds,
where the children of the poor can play
without coming in conflict with the law.
This is an undoubted need, so manifest
as to suggest that children should be al
lowed harmless play in the streets in de-
fault of better place. But, as remedy
for the tenement house evil, is it doing any
more than salving the ulcer? Is there
any way of curing the evils, resulting
from the congestion of population in the
great cities, short of reforming the causes
which concentrate population there +?
There is a large amount of dispute over
these causes; but when we hear talk Of
the tenement house population being there
on account of the attractions of city life,
we can only regard it as piece Of sar-
casm either conscious or unconscious.
The fact is that there are certain very
well-known commercial causes which tend
to produce the overplus of city population,
while the rural districts are not worked to
one-half of their productive capacity. The
transportation question involved in the
much disputed long-and-short-haul clause
is one of the most prominent of them.
When the arbitrary rule is abrogated that
manufacturers in the cities shall enjoy
better shipping rates than those in the
country, possibly one-half the operatives
of city of New York could find employ
ment in the country, which would give
them the advantages of cottage life as
compared with residence in noisome and
demoralizing garrets.

DWELLINGS OF THE POOR.

The author of Chow the Other Halt
Lives in current article on "The Chill
dren Of the Poor in New York" gives the
encouraging opinion that homelessness is
actually decreasing, and that the efforts of
philanthropy are producing a visible i'm
provement in the condition of the tene-
ment house population. This is good news
so far as it goes; but Mr.. Riis is obliged to
say that there is still an overwhelming
mass of evil to reform in that quarter.
The powerful tendency of the tenement
houses to produce drunkenness is ac-
knowledged, and the origin Of T the city
tough is traced back to the attempts of the
children to pursue, their play in the streets
despite police prohibition. 'sThe germ of
the gangs that terrorize whole sections of
the city at intervals and feed our courts
and jails may, without much difiulty,"
Mr. Riis declares, "be discovered in these
