Gas Beating Electricity

A commercial war of great magni-
tude has been in progress for some
time, and the end is certainly not in
sight. The steam engine is being at
tackled by gas and oil; electricity is
in a similar plight. The drift of COM
petent opinion in certain directions,
says The Engineer, of London, is to
the effect that electricity has seen
it's best day. Indisputably the i'm
provements which have been rendered
possible in gas lighting by the tho
rum mantle have gone far to justify
the assertion which has been made
that gas is the best ilIuminant in the
world. But the incandescent electric
lamp may yet be improved, or even
superseded. All that can be said at
present is that the future of electricity
seems to lie in the field of power dis
tribution rather than of lighting Gas
lighting would have beaten electricity
out of the market some time since,
If it had not been for the immeasur-
ably greater excellence of the latter
in all that concerns cleanliness, heat
ing and purity of air. But Improve
ments are daily being made in gas
lighting, unparalleled by anything that
is going on in electricity

Since the days of Dick Turpin and

the case of the pastor of rural New

of a shock to those in full sympathy
with the position. 10 the meeting were
most of the prominent white republicans
