RIGHT sORT OF ETIQTETTE.

RIGHT SORT OF ETIQUETTE.
The Commissioners Of the District are to
be congratulated upon the apparent stiff
fleming OF their vertebrac, made evident in
their filing and recording the plat for
the first section OF street extensions with
out waiting for the obstructi onists TO
blockthe way by further legal proceedings.
Their course puts them in sort Of pos
scssion-is- s-uine-tenths-of-th position.
Counsel for the obstructionists declare
that the action OF the Commissioners VIII
only compel them to begin their legal
procedure anew, but that neither the de-
cision OF The court nor yet the filing of
the plans VIII make q change in
their purpose to exhaust every means to
attain their original aim. One Of these
gentlemen, with delightful Pickwickian
humor, expressed the opinion that the
Commissioners had violated etiquette in
doing what they did. An that need be
said about this feature is that it would
have pleased the people Of the District
immensely had the Commissioners ex-
hibited an equal lack Of etiquette 10
the lexington trolley poles case.
From present indications il is safe to
predict that injunction suits viii not be
lacking when the work of making the
contemplated improvements shall have
been really begun. In view Of the delay
then ensuing it might not be a bad idea
for tIe Commissioner to commence right
now.

TOO MUCH FOR GAS.

Several DAYS ago The Times called the at
tention Of gas consumers TO othelargcamount
Of money they are required TO keep indeposit
with the gas monopoly. AT least 10000
people deposit five dollars each to have
the gas turned on for their use, and If the
estimates Of experts are correct the $780,
OOO of their money which the gas monopoly
has the use of without interest would pay
for one-hfth OF a gas plant fully as good as
the one now supplying this city. In other
words il each consumer would deposit
twenty dollars in some safeplace instead Of
ube five now hands ofthe gas monopoly
they would be joint owners Of working
capital sufficient 10 supply Washington
with gas, which ii sold at the present price
would yield them revenue OF GO per cent

The alleged capital OF the gas monopoly is
s. 900 coo, much of which is wa,ered.

sum amount to about 3oper centanditdces

declare:
..That the imprisonment of Eugene Y.

reality in the interests of corporate power,
which, by dishonest methods, secured from
