Annual Gas Reports.

If the House will accept the Senate's
amendment to the District appropriation
bill requiring the gas company to submit
annual reports to Congress the way Of the
Investigator into gas manufacturing con-
ditions here will be rendered smoother, with
greater assurance of the disclosure OF the
truth. For many years the gas company
has been immune from this requirement.
When Congress extended the report rule to
include the telephone company it was hoped
that the producer Of the chief local hluni-
nant would also be put in line to keep the
legislature informed as to the cost of manu-
facture and administration and the rate Of
profits. But 1t has remained until now,
since that action. the only public utility
public spaces free. which has not been
sheet for inspection.
If this amendment goes into the law the
consumer of gas will have a chance to do
some figuring. He may not work out any
great array of valuable statistics, but he
will at least have the satisfaction of know
ing the gas company's most favorable
statement of it's receipts and expenditures.
The annual report will be more illumina-
tive and valuable if it sets forth the amount
of money held by the gas company in the
form of deposits from consumers and the
amount of money paid by the company in
interest for the use of this money. Some
people assert that the sum in hand is very
large and that the company pays nothing
for it. The full figures and the exact truth
about this interesting transaction should be
set forth plainly.

The Kaiser's Critics.

And now the kaiser's enemies are cLarg-
ing that triumphant. he blows too much.
They resent the way he has received this
latest Endorsement of the people. He is
full of il. and. as they declare, is giving it
misleading Interpretation in his public
addresses Well. We must take the kaiser
as he is. We must try him by the standards
of his temperament. He appreciates the
value of hurrah. For the occupant of a
throne. he uses hurrah a good deal in his
business. No leader in a democracy ever
played that game with a clearer under
standing of its Importance. with more
skill. He keeps the kettle boiling as long
as he needs hot water. The kaiser Is 9
clever politician, and some of his success
has proceeded from the refusal Of his enc
mics TO concede and be influenced by
very plain fact

The Great Discovery.

These are exciting times in the realm of
pedagogy The whole educational world is
agog over a great discovery. Gallons of ink
are flowing. tons of paper are being COW
cred with intellectually vertical handwrit-
ing and lofty domes are nodding sagely in
recognition OF a momentous disclosure. The
transformations of the pedagogical press
are bitterly bewailing their self-imposed
limitations and wishing for four issues in
stead of one in a month, or seven issues
instead of one in q week. Indeed. 50 tremen-
dous Is the agitation that the season Of
1861 will doubtless always be remem-
bered by the educational world as the time
the terrible truth about Washington be-

Washington has been found out in various
forms OF iniquity from time to time by
specialists. 1t Is a city builded, so to speak

The Sun SPOT.

induced by the influence of the big solar
freckle.
