A tatetsMIng KapaM Thai Was Haa by Hlae

Tha report et Thomaa B. Baaereft, In
spector or mlasaef tbe state et Ohie, states
that natural gas has been discovered la pay
Ing quantities la 19 states aad tarrlterlaa aad
tbat tha revenue from supplying It la Pitas
burg amount te ever 2,000,000 a year. Ooa Oea
tlnulag ha say.
Ne record Is kept of, the yield of natural gas
In cubic fast, but the -eblal of the barsaa of
mineral statistics estimates that the amount
of coal displaced by is In 188) was 3,160,000
tens, valued at f4,8M 2ea In ISM tha coal
displaced waa valued at 91,600.000. Theyleld
has Increased tenfold alnee 1873. In Western
Pennsylvania alone, 00 natural gas companies
hava been erganised, and nearly 21,000.000 of
capital Invested. There are said te be 401
mile et gaa malea entering Pittsburg, and It
la estimated that 2 500,000 tens of coal have
been dlspleeed there the peat year. The gas
com panles and tbs Increase of active work In
tbe Iren mills have, however, given employ
ment te ever 3,500 men, supposed te hava
been thrown Idle, In mining and ether In
dustries, by tbe Introduction of natural gaa.
Mpeaklng in tbe earns line ha aaya that not
withstanding tbe Immense displacement of
coal In Plttaburg the output of tha mines of
the Pittsburg district bss ferlbeaarae months,
adlng January 1, had an actual Increase of
140,000 tena el coat ever tha corresponding
period of 1885. Thl, ha ssys, Is caused by
the Introduction nfoeat in many places In tbe
Northwest and Wet where It was never need
aa a ruel before. The Ohie mine, be aaya,
have also an Increased output, tha eblef dim.
cully at present being the lack of aufficlent
transportation facilities. He Bays t
Tbe area et high-preaaure gas territory In
Northern and Ontral Ohie Is confined
mainly te Hancock and Weed counties ; but
a high pressure well has been recently found,
also, In Merrer county. Almest every town
of any atz In tbe state where the Indications
are at all favorable, has Its gas company,
and has experimented, or la experimenting,
with Its gaa well. Tbe largtat producing
well, en far found In the state, are In the
Flndlay district This tleld la 2e mllee long
and about II mile wide, and la pierced, at
different points, by perhaps 30 wells, which
have, with but few exceptions, proved highly
successful. Tee records In the offlee of the
secretary of state ahew tbat 118 natural gas
com pan lee, wltb an aggregate capital of IV
CXX,00., have been Incorporated In Ohie up
te this time. Of ceuiss many of these or er or
ganlxstiena have been or but ephemeral ex
istence, and the capital mentioned la by no
means paid up one. Nevertheless, the
figures serve te show the great Interest taken
In the new fuel, and extent of tbe projects
already entered Inte for Ita development
The only point In Ohie where natural gaa
baa been Introduced te any extent In tbe coal
territory Is along the Ohie river, between
Kaat Liverpool and Hellalre, and at Young Yeung
town, In tbe Mahoning valley. Aa yet no
very greet number of oesl miners hsve been
thrown out of employment In either district
from tbt causa.
H. A. Knrd, chemt.t at tbe Kdgar Thomsen
steel works, is quoted in regaru te tbe oom eom oem
jartlve heating prepertle of natural gas and
the best Pittsburg c(ul. Mr. Ferd's emula
tions show tbat 51 4 pounds el coal are equal
in heating power te 1 000 cubic feet of natural
gaa, and with coal atf- 50 per ten, gas will be
worth 0 8 10 cent per 1,000 feet, and tbat one

Tha Baltimore flu aaya: Tha oartlfleitaef
Incorporation of tha Baltimore dc Western

aa baa been stated. Henry u. Davis, & a
Elklns aad ethers, of tha Wast Virginia Cen

porators. One of these gentlemen yesterdsy
gsve some Important statements eoneernlog
tbla railway, whteb It la proposed te build
from Cumberland te Hagerstown, connect
ing there with the Western Maryland read
te Baltimore. He ssys : Tba dlatanee from
Cumberland te Baltimore by tba new read,
via tba Western Maryland, will be 168 miles,
4 miles lass than by tha liiltlmere A Oble
railroad. Tbla Una will glva Cumberland
another outlet te tide water, and, in connec
tion wltb tbe extension of tba Weet Vlrglnls
Central te Charleston, tba capital of Wast
Virginia, will glva Baltimore another line te
tba Weet The dletanee from Baltlmete by
the projected line and Its connections In
West Virginia te Point Pleasant en the Ohie
river, Is only 20 miles longer than the Balti
more it Ohie railroad te Parkersburg. Tbe
coaetry north of the Potemso Is richer tbsn
the country south, and ean maintain a rail
road better Irem local business alone. There
ia a large district of country In Pennsylvania,
nearly 76 miles long and 50 miles bread,
.retching from tba Maryland line north,
and which has no ether railroad communica
tion, tbat will be tributary te tbla new line.
Tbe local business, considering the Iren
ere, lumber, and agricultural products, will
pay the Interest en the Investment, net te
apesk of tba through business. By this line
Baltimore will reach the virgin coal, Iren,
and timber dl.trlct or West Vlrglnls, which
are almost Inexhaustible. At Charleston It
will connect with tbe Newport New snd
Mississippi valley system, which will reach
the Southern and Beuthweatern atatea Tbla
we think an Important thing for Baltimore.
At Point Pleasant, en tbe Oble river, it will

Kdi. Intkllkiksckb Iu your weekly
Issue of May 11, you In your editorial take
tbe Philadelphia Recerd te account for cer
tain reeent utterances en tbe tsrifT. Fer
many mentba past, in fact ter years, 1 have
been astonished at tbe neutral position of
your paper (ear paper, aa we ara accustomed
te call It,) en this very Important question.
While you have been quite careful about
committing yourselves, I supposed, of
course, you were In sympathy with the vast
host of tbe party you represent, and for pru
dential reasons alone did net assert your posi
tion decidedly. This editorial In question,
however, leavee no doubt as te the position
or your paper, or at least tbe position of the
writer, who I presume speak with authority
and therefore cemmlta the paper te tbe doc
trine et protection. I am a dally reader or
tbe Jtecerd, Ne paper reachea me whose
posllleu en the taritt is mere te my liking
tbsn it, and judging from Ita circulation
(ever Increasing) and tbe circulation et
ether papers standing aide by aide with It en
this question, I am Inclined te believe tbat
it la net ae "solitary " aa you would have us
suppose. We are becoming accustomed te
tbe dodge of tbe protectionists te class, for
effect "" who de net approve of taritt rob
bery aa free traders. Hence we are net sur
prised te see tbe Recerd quoted by you ss
free fade, although we have net been able
te find it It advocates the kind or free trade
tbat was Indersed'by tbe election of Samuel
J. Tllden in 1870 by ever 200,000 popular ma
jority and tne election of G rover Cleveland in
IS&l ey a vote ae decisive as te preclude the
necessity of an electoral commission. Net se
"solitary" after all. It advocates tbe theory
tbat a protective tarlti Is nothing mere or less
tbsn leiiallzed robbery, an Idea tbat meets a
responsive echo in the mlnda et millions of
the voters of the nation ; an idea or theory
tbat ia se certainly and surely gaining
strength that It I no longer baztrdeu te pre
dict tbat protection te our "infant induatrlta"
mini go.
We heartily agree with you tbat the tarifi
la a geed question te "talk about" Te the
vast army of producers, as well ss consumers,
In tbe nation It ia a tbeme tbat affords
material for meditation and aa a result
of such thought will be talked about
Especially la it a prolifle aubject for
thought at tbe present time smeng tbe
agricultural producers, and all directly or
indirectly Interested with them, In view of
the fact that while they are obliged te com
pete with the world in their pursuit and in
tbe aale of their products, and are obliged te
accept even atarvatien prices for tbe same,
tbey en tbe ether hand are obliged te pay a
tax et 40 per cent en an average en what
tbey buy, te auppvrt our "infant industries."
It Is indeed field for thought, in view et
the fact tbat while in tbe aggregate millions
and tena et millions sre annually taken from
tbe consumers en account of tbeae odleua
protection laws; aa a consequence monopolies
en every hand are being ealabllebed wblcb
threaten our very existence as government
It is a notorious fact that tbe growth of tbeae
monopolies under this " tbe highest taritl in
the world" la unprecedented in tbe history
of tbe world. It ta Indeed a fruitful tbeme
ler thought and talk in view of the fact tbat
as a consequence of our protective ayatem
the governments et Kurepe are one after
another passing retaliatory measures, whleh
in their results bid fair te confine us te our
own bounds before long for the aale et our
products. Loek at tbe aubject from any rea
sonable atandpetut you may, It presents a
rosy picture inueeu (.irentcauy speaking) rer
all except the comparatively few who are
amatalng fortunes at the expense of tbe
many. These few would gladly satisfy
the Inquiring mind with the idea tbat
tbe tariff "will aettle Itself." They
are .appiebenalve that the mighty stu
pendous business Interests wblcb, In
tbe nation represent a capital or (2,790,000,000
aa against (14,000,000,000 in agriculture alone,
may become unsettled when left te stand
upon merit and confined te legitimate profit
aad therefore tbey would mueu prefer tbat
the people would allow It te " aettle" Itself.
Unfortunately tbe profits " aettle" la certain
cnanneu ana me people are irji every uwe.
Hew long It will be before the great mass or
our people will reatiz tbat a protective taritt
Is a curse te tbe nation and a positive injus
tice te at least 90 per cent of our population,
Heaven only knows, but it 1 an encouraging
fact that publie sentiment Is being educated,
and It la but a matter or time uutll "tariff
ter revenue only" will prevail, and these in
dustries tbat cannot survive ean succumb.

Tha first of these was tba Maa that tha pri
vate ewnsrshlp of lwd waa anj eat Tbla Idea
tba archbishop characterised aa a fallacy
against both philosophy and oemmoa eeasa,
and aa against tbe teachings of tb Catholic
vuureu,
These who claimed that land, Ilka sun
shine and air. was the gift nt Ued, equally
tha property of all, overlooked tha great dlfi
ference that sun and air cannot become prl
vate property as can land. He declared that
every man had a right te acquire, by honest
mSf!i.MJ5l,cn PrePr,y ba could, and
cited tbe Indiana aa an example of we disss-

ssld thst the Idea was In direct opposition te
Sd2ft? ' "' p?Pe L"nd tn,t ibe" "be fa
7i?redJf kMW " "V Infringing en
the ordinances of Oed. "
The second error which the archbishop
wished te combat waa tbat the pope hsd the
right te command and te be obeyed only in
matters of fslth and morals, and when speak
ing as infallible. Tbls idea had been de
creed false by tha Vatican council, who had
ordered that " If any one should ssy tbat the
pope had a right te command In mattera et
faith and morals but net In discipline, let htm
be anathematized."
The pope, however, deea net Interfere In

Sir Geerge O. Trevelyan, speaking at the
banquet et the Eighty club, In Londen Mon
day night, strongly condemned the oeeroion
bill as unjust and exasperating te tha Irish
people. He ssld tbst what divided the Lib
erats wss net the question of granting home
rale te the Irish, bat or granting them lib
erty. Although the text of Mr. Gladstone's
bills wss desd, tbeir spirit of generosity
snd confidence toward Ireland atlll
existed. II Lord Uartlngten and bla follewera
desired te return te tbe Liberal party tbey
would be welcomed, and a treaty of peace
might be formed based neon the four condi
tions set forth In Lord Hartlngten's electoral
address. The speaker blamed the Unionists
ter adopting an attitude or hostility
before tbey knew whether or net the Qiad Qiad
Btenlans would accept their conditions. He
believed there were net mere tbsn twenty
Liberal Commoners who desired te exclude
Irish members from Westminster, and that
there wss net one of tbeee twenty who wss
net willing te give up the point In order te
secure tbe return of Hartlngten te tbe Liberal
ranks. He taunted Lord Salisbury with
having taken office wltb tbe help et the
Parnellite vote in tbe face of Ferater'a accu
sation against Parnell et complicity In crime,
an accusation or equal gravity with tba
cbsrges of tbe Time. He concluded by de
claring thst the Liberals wanted tbe Unionists
te releln their old Dartv. and would nv in
honorable price te get them back. Tbe speech
created a aenaatlen In the lobbies or Parlia
