If ILLUMINATING gas can be made
and protitably sold at fifty cents thou
sand feet in Boston, why gas consumers
here, though coal is so much nearer the
gas works than it is at Boston, and
where there is READY sale for the coke,
be compelled to pay STAG thousand
feet, is what they at least CANNOT tell.
1t would naturally be supposed that
the gas consumers of Alexandria had
more money to waste than those of
Boston, but people familiar with the
condition of the consumers of the two
cities know that the reverse is the case,
and that few, if any. Alexandrians
have "money to burn.n

The republican Congress passed, and
the republican President signed tariff
bill, "to provide sufficient revenue for
the needs of The country" That, at
least was the reason they assigned for
increasing the duties on almost every
thing poor people have to consume in
order to live. But instead of providing
sufficient revenue. the deficit since the
first of July exceeds forty three million
dollars, and is increasing steadily as the
weeks roll by. At this click, if it shall
keep up much longer, some of the other
government property, besides the Union
Pacific Railroad, will have to be sold to
meet current expenses. But, of course,
if the people of the country are net
prosperous, the government can hare y

AsHAs been previously stated in the
Gazette, it is now proposed to create an.
other expensive commission and send it
to Havana, to study yellow fever sin
its native clime.n But yellow fever has
been studied in Cuba and other coun-
tries in which it is endemic, by expert
and skill{ul physicians for hundred
years, and no commission, no matter how
high priced the members thereofmay be,
could by any possibility find out any
thing more about its causes and pre-.
ventives than is already known. Com
missions, however, are now the order
of the day, and there may as we'll be

AS EXPECTED, the effort by the Ca
madam government to make a treaty
with the United States by which some
at least of the many restrictions on the
trade between the two countries could
be removed and reciprocity in CONNER

as the object was too good, and, if sue
cessful, would have helped the people
of this country too much to, secure for
it the favorable consideration of the
present administration. When Mr..
Bryan shall be elected President, there
will not only be more money, but the
restrictions or trade will be removed,

went there, and that the people of that

that in the whole of that country, in

STREET PAAING QUESTION.
Mayor Evans Apprehends No Danger From
Law Suits.

"If the only ground the property-hold-
ers who propose to fight the sidewalk as
sessment have is that the city council let
the contract to the highest bidder" said
Mayor Evans, then I don't apprehend
any serious consequences. The city coun-
Gil had the right to let this contract to
anyone, and is guaranteed this right by
until the Portland is sighted.atnlet shr
the legislature. The council is not re-
stricted in the matter, being empower
ed to let such contract to the best bid
der and not to the lowest. The matter
has already been tested in the supreme
court.
ST believe some of them say that new
sidewalks were laid on top of the old
ones The legislature grants the city the
right to regrade, relay or recurb any side
walk"
The law on the subject is that the cost
for building sidewalks shall be assessed
against AUDITING property owners, who
shall be given ten days notice to appear
and make any protest they desire. If the
protest is overruled the amount must be
paid within sixty days or the property
will be sold, just as is done in the case
of delinquent taxes. Dissatisfied parties
may file a petition in the city court
within ten days after assessment is made
and the council proceedings will be stay
ed and the case tried.
