The l'lillfulelphians are in the threes of a great contest ever the leasing of the pi works belonging te the city. The ostensi ble reason for the ilesire te lease is that the gas management succors a itelitical com bination, and make3 it rich and powerful, without profit te the city. It is obvious. from the high bills and the struggles of different parties te get control of the works, that there is a great big plum in it te the successful. One s)ndicate has sprang from the loins of Philadelphia and another from these of Xew Yerk, the lat ter offering very far the beat terms ; never 'theless the former has the recommendation of the finance committee of councils, and for no better ostensible reason than that the New Yorkers are from 2s ew Yerk, and consequently in Philadelphia opinion, bud. It is obvious te the outside world that Philadelphia is net in iositien te threw stones at New Yerk ; and that the city has been se long and cleanly plucked by her own people, as te make it certain that New Yerk could net de it better. It may be just as well te let the job out te Phlladelphians since the plucking must be suffered ; but then it is net clear why the town should net take its fleecing as it was, instead of seeking te vary the parties te de it. AVe assume that the men who have the wool new nresemewheie around In the woodpile while the negotiation is going en for the future lla'ces, and that everybody who is dickering with the town is doing se with a sharp ej e te the main chance for their own pockets. It seems te be the fate of the cit j te be robbed whatever it does, and we are sure that it is net going into a harbor of safetv in going into the hands of lessees. If we were a Philadeiphian, vv ith a big cas works en hand enjoying a monopoly of gas supplj . we would knew that we had a geed thins: and we would keep it. Philadelphia citizen p weykVirg-As consumers, anil me prom et iiu pas raanuiaciure is pain by tncm. When 1: is paid te the city, it is paid te theiifeehes saving the part is stolen by their officials When it is paid te outsiders, the citizen' certainly lese the profit the outsiders get. If that is less than the stealmes of then officials would lie, they would make money by paying te outsiders ; but the) would net have the control of their me nopely, and during the term of the lease would be in a state of bondage that it would net be advisable te enter, especially in view of the fact that the consumption of gas and the cheapness of its manufac ture are eacli jear largely increased. Certainly it is the height of felly for the people of Philadelphia te permit a charge of 41.50 per thousand te be made te them for gas which cannot cett, one-third of that --iKTS'te furnish them. Ceal gas has for many years been furnished by the govern ment te tha efflc, rs at West Point at Ti cents per thousand feet ; and the profit of the fund has sutllced te pay for the g.is fixtures in the dwellings ; and tlus,m a en, small community af.u from a coal supplj. The peeple of Philadelphia should have their gas at less cost than this.l And why de they need te lease, if they need te lease at all te avoid pehtnal cor ruption, for mere than the jear i Why net let the Pennsylvania, or the Uaitirnere Ohie, or the Heading railroad, as coal suji rlyers, or syndicates in their interests, bid againstreach ether each jear for the lease of the gas works 'r1 There is nothing te prevent the city from holding an annual auction of the privilege of supplying it with gas from its work. IJsIit en Dark Places. The friction that has been develop in the squabble between County Solicitor Shenck and the magistrates holding unpaid bills has taught a great many people, who might ne,vef have learned otherwise, of the Trnmnally loose methods that prevail in this branch of the county business. The county U treated te the spectacle of a solicitor having in ids emce a man who openly purchases at a reduction warrants upon the county treasury in the presence of rue county solicitor, whose approval is necessary te give them their face value. Vhat wonder that the people cenclude that the solicitor is in league with this pur- cnaser in uisceuntiug these warrants ! This same purchaser, Heiace llebeits, is munu employed in the examination of the bills, for which work he expects te be recompensed out of the county tieasury. & ) ducu exammauen allerds him thoeppor- y --"ji uuuiB h;ii, umsare nicely te A be allowed, nml ln lln, a la i.i.i ... into the market and purchase tliem from these whom he finds te be in need et iead cash.

Pcrter, who ill doctrine ter me 1'ress, that the llepublican must come te a realizing sense of the need of a reduction in the redundant revenues and must be ready w itli a scheme of its ewii te offset the Democratic project. In this Mr.D.tvv es talks net as a senator but asn partisan, llodiscleses his belief that the llepublican party must be kept en a differ ent track from the Democratic party in reaching the reduction of the revenue universally acknowledged te be needed. Tlicre is In fact no such necessity. There 1? no geed reason why both parties should net agree upon the items of tariff reduc tion, but there is geed reason why they Mieuld se agree, since sensible men ought net te be at a less iu determining whete the duties may be most advantageously reduced. Senater Dawes concedes the strength of the Democratic position in favor of a re ductien of tiie duties en mateiials entering into manufacture, lie would admit fne of duty every raw material that enters into manufacture , which is geed Democratic doctrine. He would reduce the duty en wool, and evidently has a strong inclina tion towards the policy of releasing these duties which hamper manufacture. If he is net swerved from his desires by the de mands of ins party. Senater Dawes Beetm. te be m a fair way te reacli that agreement with the Democratic tariff policy which his patriotism demands. It is safe te say, however, that party demands will interfere te defeat a harmonious agreement upon tariff reduction, however obvious its policy. While there is no reason in geed tense why Democrats and Republicans should net be draw n together in peaceful agreement .is te the tariff, it may be as sumed that se aged and leng-w indeil and useful a p uty issue w ill net be permitted te diep out of the party platform.

Gersucu objected and moved that this declaration of belief in div may be stricken out A delegate thought that any man who did net beleve iu the iatherhoed of Ged was net lit te be an American citizen, and there was violent dis cussion fallowed by the jaage of the Gersucu motion and the striking out of the soDtence.
