WELSBACH LAMPS.
Great Success of an Experiment
in Several Thoroughfares
on the Heights.

A new system of lighting has been in
troduced in several Of the principal resi-
Dental streets upon the Heights. 1t is
the Welsbach burner, which increases the
power of an ordinary jet of gas TO half
the power of an arc light. In Bently,
Duncan and Magnolia avenues and Clifford
place the new lights are used with great
success. The property owners and house
holders are delighted with them. They
say that the streets were rever so well
lighted as at the present time.
The Welsbach lights nave many advan-
tages over the electric light. not the least
of which is thai they. only cost the city
about one-half as much as the arc lights
which are generally in use. 1t is claimed,
and properly too, if one might judge from
the lights in evidence on Clifford place
last night, that TWO Welsbach lights will
furnish a greater light than a single are
light. The are light costs the city S109
a year, while the gas company will sup
ply the new lights and keep them in re-
pair at $50 each per mum
The new system provides for the use
of the old lamp posts which are distrib-
uted throughout the city. One great adj
vantage the new light has over the cleo
trio light is that being low on the street
and in the shape of a lantern, il diffuses
the light more evenly.
The Introduction of the Welsbach sys-
TEN throughout the city would, it is
claimed, do away with the necessity OF
erecting u%nsightly poles and would lessen
the dangers arising from overhead cleo
trio wires. The electric light has proved
thoroughly unreliable and besides the
electricity Is killing all the shade trees
wherever the wires are strung. An ef-
fort will be made to get the city to adopt
the WelSbach system on all the residen-
tiai thoroughfares. 1t is already in use
in many sections of New York City,
where it is giving entire satisfaction.

Whatever the fate Of the proposition. its
Introduction Is significant and a warning
to the very rich people OF that and other
States.
IL SHOWS that there Ia q growing con-
Viotion that may at any time develop into
law that the men with the greatest amount
of property must pay the greatest tax. Tho
very reverse is true now. The tax dodgers
are most generally found among the rich
est people. Their returns OF property for
taxation are grossly In conflict with what
the general public believe, and often know
should be returned. Personal property is
hid out and the man who has the least
bears the most disproportionate burdens Of
government. The moneyed classes are d.
rectly inviting new methods of taxation for
reaching their possessions by their shame
less attempts to shift their Just proportion
OF taxes TO others shoulders.
These propositions. therefore, for income
taxes and inheritance taxes and other reg
ulations complained OF by The wealthy. are
induced by tho selfish and dishoneA and
unpatriotlc action OF the very rich them
selves. They are urged by the people\in
self defense and they are SO just and mecca
