DISHONEST FOES OF ELECTRIC
LIGHTING.
It seems to us tlmtthe op
ponents .of electric lighting
and the advocates of gas or
oil lighting, must be very
sorely pushed when they can
publish such wholesale false
hoods and misrepresentations
as we tind in the Alia Califor
nia of SanFraneisco. April 28,
and in another paper, whose
name we have not learned,
but one of whose tangled mis
statements is now before us.
Attacks on the electric light.
from interested quarters, are
looked for. and. so far, the
expectation has been liberally
met , but it is seldom indeed
that one has to deal with so
much astounding ignorance
or willful falsification of facte
in a widely-known paper as
is exhibited by our Calif or
nian contemporaries. We arc
willing to credit the Alia
California with ignorance, if it
wishes.
We do not care, as a rule,
to give much of our space to
these onslaughts upon the
electric light, but it may be as
well to show how violent, un
scrupulous and bitter some of
them are. The Alta Califor
nia says: ''A little inquiry
reveals tho fact that electric
lighting has not been found a
success in other large cities."
This, as many of our readers
know J" is absolutely untrue,
even though it has the distin
guished support of the other
paper, which says : ' 'In every
instance the electric light has
failed to give satisfaction. "
Descending from the general
to the particular, the Alia
California adds: "In London
and Paris within a. short time,
the electric light bids fair to
be among the things that
were."' . After this Ave are not
surprised to read all the old
nonsense about the danger of
the electric light and other
objections to its use.
The most wanton and im
pertinent misrepresentation is
that in which Mr. W. H.
Preece's valuable paper on
''The Progress of Electric
Lighting," read before the
English Society of Arts on
March 5, is made by the Alfa
California to be "the coup do
grace to the electric light for
street purposes." The other
says, too, that Mr. Preece
"distinctly scouts the idea
that in the wholesale lighting
of cities can any economy be
effected by the substitution of
the electric light, for gas.
The article, while acknow
ledging the progress of elec
tric light as a costly scientific
experiment, regrets, in des
pairing terms, its failure, as a
commercial enterprise." If
we were to say that Oalifor
nian papers were in the habit
of advising everybody to leave
the Pacific Slope because the
experiment of trying to live
there was a sad and costly
failure, we would he about as
near the truth as the two pas
sages are we have just quoted.
Mr. Preece's paper, be it
noted, is on the progress of
the right. "While it condemns
the immoralities of recent
electricy light financing in
England, it is cheerful and
optimistic from beginning to
end. Mr. Preece says:
Electric lighting is a pro
nounced success," and he
goes on to show what a suc
cess it iSin spite of an Act of
Parliament that is soon to be
modified as d e t r i m e n t a 1
to the public good, although
its - aim, the prevention of
monopoly, is praiseworthy.
Let us quote further: "T see
119 reason whatever why our
public streets should not be as
efficiently lighted by electric
ity as they are now by gas
and forthe same price,
The best lighted street in the
city of London is the IIol
born Viaduct. It is
remarkable ho w the use of
electricity is growing in favor
with theatre managers.
Our new Law Courts are ad
mirably lighted, and some of
the judges have said that the
electric light is the only good
thing in this new Palace of
Justice. " Indeed, "Ves
taurants, hotels, and public
buildings, are all testifying to
the fact that T am so anxious
to bring before you, that
electric lighting is a decided
success, for they are using it."
How is that for a "coup do
graccT' Mr. Preece is also
made to say that the electric
light is a luxury that must be
paid for. What he said was,
that at present., for household
purposes, it may be a luxury,
put that people would have it
because it is "sale, healthy,
bure, soft aud natural. "
Moreover, as to economy:
"Any comparison between
mis and electricity on this
basis is unfair, because gas is
produced in quantities suffi
cient to supply hundreds of
thousands of lamps, while the
largest electric light station
yet erected does not light up
10,000 lamps. "Neverth
less, the cost of supplying
electricity now is far less than
was the cost of supplying gas
m the early days oi its intro
duction.' He might have
added, in all sincerity, that
in a great many places to-day
the electric light is being used
at alower rate of costthan gas.
We think we have quoted
enough from Mr. Preece" to
show that the eminent electri
cian is not altogether the
"Daniel come to judgment,,
in tho way that the two San
