Fifty-Four-Cent Gas.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The dollar gas controversy should not
erd without a settlement on the dollar
basis. The gas company is standing in it's
own light by combating this reasonable
demand Of the citizens for two reasons:
First, the gas consumers would now rest
satisfied with the price Of gas, fixed by
law, at one dollar per 1000 feet, and would
accept that price as a satisfactory ending
of the long contention for years TO come,
while if the subject is left open by the
proposed compromise the final cut will
be far below that figure. Secondly, the gas
company will receive more revenue from
dollar gas than from the present price of
$l.25 in the enormously increased use of
gas, both for illuminating purposes and
culinary uses. At one dollar people will
use gas light freely, instead of economical
ly, as at present and do away with the dan
gerous Oil lamps so much used by people in
moderate circumstances. 1t will Also for a
long time, prevent the general use of cleo
tricity by the Weather classes But the
great increase in the use of gas for cook
ing will at once be felt Gas stoves are
very cheap and most convenient. During
half the year gas stoves would be largely
used in Washington, instead of the hot
coal stove.
In towns of the class of Washington in
England the price Of gas does not exceed
Is. 3D., or fifty-four cents per 1000 feet.
My English friends tell me that they get
eight per cent dividends on their gas
stocks, and that their companies extend
their gas mains yearly into the thinly
settled suburbs, to keep down their surplus.
Gas stocks are at high premium in Eng
land. On the same basis dollar gas will
produce 10 per cent dividends in Wash
ington.
Strict regulations should provide honest
quality and measurement Of gas. Now the
majority Of intelligent citizens believe firm
ly that they pay high price for low-grade
gas. on high-grade Measurement
If Congress will secure to Washington
pure gas-honestly measured-at one dol
lar per thousand, everybody will be salts
fed, and the gas company will wax fat
Let US have no compromise. CITIZEN.

Wherein His Power Lies,

There was an opinion at one time that
Mr.. Tillman would not be effective as a ma
tioral figure. The objection urged to him
was that he was too aggressive, too rabid,
too coarse in his speech. The people, il
was predicted, would not stand such as
saults as he was accusto med to make on
those with whom he differed. But there
'has been some revision Of this Judgment
1t is seen now that the mans power lies in
large measure in this very marked and
extreme assertion of himself He is a nov
city, and catches the peoples fancy in
their observation-disclosures. He makes no pre-
tensions TO being a regulation orator or
leader. He appeals to the masses on The
stengtn OF his charge that the times are
SO much out of joint that rough speech is
necessary suitably to describe them. Hence
his fSure of using a pitchfork to toss out
of the way those whom he insists are in
imlcal to the best interests OF the people.

POORLY LOCATED LIGHTS.

One of the darkest places in the city
after night is North Olive street be-

electric light is located at the corner
of Olive and Nolan and another at the
corner Of South Olive and Wyoming
streets thus leaving distance of over
mile without any light at all, not
withstanding the fact that one side of
the street is lined with brush, thus
making it dangerous for pedestrians
at night and affording an excellent
hiding place for footpads. An electric
light placed at the corner of Olive and
Crockett streets would be great i'm
provement. The lights in this part
of the city are not distributed well.

when F. G. Dubignon was president Of
the senate.
He presided over the house with dig
nifty and was very popular among the
members. At the next session of the
general assembly he was elected SEN
ator from the Thirty-fifth district and
was elected president of the senate
without opposition. He was factor
in much important legislation and often
took the floor to favor measures of
merit.
In the convention which nominated
Gov. Northen IN 1890 there was con-
test for the position of attorney-gen-
eral between the late George N. Lester,
o one-armed ex-confederate soldier, and
Col. Clifford Anderson, the profound
and brilliant Encouragement of pre-
ceding administrations. Perhaps the
most thrilling speech ever made in the
Georgia capitol in nominating candi-
date for Office was made by Mr.. Clay
in nominating Lester. 1t carried the
members off their feet and Lester swept
the convention.
When Gov. Atkinson became the dem
ocratic nominee in 1894 he was sue
ceeded as chairman of the state execu-
tive committee by Mr.. Clay. In the
campaign recently closed he held the
same position. He is young, active,
vigorous and of commanding physique.
