of modish folk by nature and training
Professionally Mr.. McAllistcr was a

FOLLOW THE TINES. :,

The feeling aroused against the Washington
Gaslight monopoly because Of its manipula-
ton Of Congress is becoming intense. The
Washington public has submitted meekly to
extortionate prices for number Of years in
hopeful expectation that something would
give relief. But experience has demon
strated that there is no use waiting longer,
and that an earnest and united effort must
be made for cheaper gas
Congress has power to fix lower price.
The present session will not grant it
because the Washington Gaslight Monopoly
decides otherwise. The next Congress will
create new Distrist committees. and there is
hope for justice, provided the right kind of
demand is made for cheaper gas. And now
is the time for the gas consumers to prepare
for making that demand.
In another column will be found coupon
on which TO write your name and address.
Send it TO The TIMES, so that an immense
petition to Congress. praying for cheaper
gas. may be prepared. Other arrangements
win also be made, and when Congress meets
again the wants of the public can be made
known in clear and unmistakable terms.
Dollar gas would save Washington at
least half million dollars a year. That
amount represents the entire cash paid for
stock in the Washington Gaslight monopoly.
II it were deducted from the revenues there
would still be left handsome profit TO that
monopoly, and gas consumers can save it by
following the lead Of THE TIMES.

LET POPE BOB ALONE.

No one knows better than Col Ingersoll
that opposition to him is good advertising
and that the more often he is denounced
from the pulpit the greater will be his op-
portunity to coin wealth from his lectures
Then again, there is really nothing so terri
bly, harmful in what he says. Consequently.
for the sake Of religion, in the interests OF
free speech, and for the good OF all con-
cerned il would be better to let him alone.
Whenever Mr.. Ingersoll goes too far in his
argument against orthodoxy the public will
drop him like rattlesnake. In almost
every mind there is a feeling of devotion that
revolts at cold-blocded blasphemy and rebels
against efforts 10 belittle the good work oi
the ministry. Religion cannot suffer at the
hands OF Col Ingersol or any other free
thinker, and attempts to persecute them only
excite popular curiosity and give publicity
70 their theories.
The ill-advised effort to prevent Col Inger-
eoll from lecturing at Hoboken is worth
thousands OF dollars to him. The defeat o.
his prosecutors has been heralded all over
the world. and his lecture made more popu
lar. Nothing he said was new or worthy o

seem somewhat visionary to seriously en-
tertain the idea Of navigating the air safely,

Balloon voyaging, no doubt, possesses a
peculiar fascination for the Senator. To see

in him are thoughts that spurn the lowly
earth and buzz celestialward.
The Senator from Ohio is entirely con-
sistent when he asks Congress to go INTO the
balloon business.
