legitimate mouthpiece.

cable, dangerous, and costly. Every COM
parative test between acct tylene gas

careful reading of the expose published
in another column will substantiate this
assertion.

other effort to prevent the passage of a

Washington has had enough such ex-
pcriences. The gas monopoly has already
manipulated our purse strings too long,
and If this public allows itself TO be again
deceived by the promised organization of u
competing company to supply gas that has
no merit except as read in vainglorious
advertising, then indeed is our national
capital an abiding place of cbumps and
greenhorns.
The only way tn obtain cheaper gas Is
through legislation, and CONSUMERS should
so look at the question and unite in influ-
encing Congress Ia pass dcllar-gas bill.

DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON.

With becoming dignity of procedure, the
new diocese of Washington has been chris
tened, and in due course of events Will be
differed. There is little doubt, ii appears,
that some one OF the distinguished rectors
of Washingtnn's Episcopal parishes will
be chosen as bishup, and ii is comforting
to contemplate the fact that whoever is
chosen Ia fill this post OF responsibility
and honor. will be in every sense worthy
Of the distinction.
Bishop Paret's regret at parting fr,m
this section of his former diocese, may
well be believed TO be genuine, for the
Episcopaiian parishes If the District of Co
lumbia, no less than thuse of the Maryland
counties, were NJ unimPertant part of it.
Yet it must be conceded that the separation
was eminently proper. in that, in point
OF bnth population and wealth, the COM
ponent parts of the new diocese had at
tained such proportions as TO make the
constitution of separate diocese almost a
necessity.
The future of the new ditcese is full Of
promise af usefulness, and it and all that
are part of it will face il with confidence.

POLITICAL KITE FLYING.

Like many other good things, the public
demands, that part of Governor o'Ferralrs
message which refers to Alexa ndria county
lawlessness, comes a little late. Had its
sentiment been expressed in such vigorous
language last summer, when the wash
ington public requested his interference
with affairs across the river, or had he
at that time redeemed his promise to
send his attorney general to prosecute the
offenders against which the Board of
Trade committee had secured evidence,
this outburst OF righteous Indignation would
have made Governor O'Ferrall the most
prominent public man in Virginia. But it
now comes little late to bear the impress
OF sincerity.
Until Capt. MusIlbach, the outlaw track
advocate, announced his preference for
the reelection of Senator Daniel, Gov
ernor O'Ferrall was an official exempli-
fication of supine inactivity. To ali who
interviewed him concerning Alexandria
aDdria county crime he said it was the
fault of the law and he could do nothing.
1t is true that he promised his cooperation
with the Board OF Trade committee in
prosecuting offenders, but as the premise
was not kept it but made his official
neglect more apparent and also confirms
the impression that his treatment Of the
question in his message TO the general
assembly is a political dodge, born of
his disappointment in not securing the
gambler influence for his election TO The
United States Senate.
Be it as it may, Washington will con-
graduate the Governor on the stand he
has made for law and order. His fight
to uphold the dignity of the State will be
approved, by every iaw-abiding citizen,
and whether OF not he succeeds i'll having
the outlaw track charters repealed, he has
espoused a good cause, and if il elevatts
him to the Senate no one will complain.
But the public would have been better
pleased had Governor o'Ferrall not made
his conversion a question Of political
policy.

LET THE BALLOT DECIDE.

The fate of the bill bonding the District
for S7,50o,o ,oOO to make sewer improve
ments and street extensions is decided
provided its promoters insist on appropri-
atiug $4,000, 900 to improve property
outside the city limits. Generally speak
ing, municipal governments require prop
erty holders to make their own street ex
tensions, and when additions to cities are
accepted they must conform to prepared
plans and the streets and alleys ceded
without public cost.
This policy does not prevail in this city
Spectators usually manage to impose the
burden OF street improvements on tax pay
ers, aud we have miles of paved streets
on which residences will not be erected
braces another of these schemes. 1t is
intended to improve property for which
there will be no immediate public demand.
But its speculative value will be enhanced,
and owI,ers enriched accordingly.
The Times offers tax payers an oppor-
tunity to record their opinions upon this
question. In various parts of the city
ballot boxes have been placed in which
the ballots printed in another column ma Y
be voted, and when the time for voting
expires the result of the balloting will
demonstrate public sentiment as to whether
or not this burden Of improving private
property at public expense is Justifiable.
Let every reader of The Times vote on
this question. 1t is important from an
economic standpoint, and the result of
the ballotng will largely influence the
action OF Congress.

THE NEW GAS SCHEME.

a bill TO supply the District with cheaper
gas was defeated in the la st Congress by the
sham organization of a competitive COM
pany. which was to sell seventy-five cent
gas, and a similar attempt is being made
to c-tract attention of the public from
another effort to compel the Washington
Gaslight Company to sell dollar gas by
the alleged organization of company to
supply what is known as acetylene gas.
There is every reason to believe that the
Washington Gaslight Company is at the
bottom of this new scheme.
1t has been practically demonstra ted
that acetylcne gas is more expensive and
less satisfactory than that supplied from
retorts through the process now In use.
