How TO SAVE The CITY FROM "NEGRo
RULE. Our Democratic friends are in
agony over the sagacious and Independent
action of the Trades Union in nominating
an Independent ticket. They affect TO fear
that it will throw the city into the hands
of the blacks. Let them take up the ex-
csllent ticket presented by the mechanics
aud elect it. 1t is all white. 1t contains
only men identified with the interests of
Richmond, and the Democratic party cam
not make better selection. We have yet
to hear any personal objection to tie

THE STATE JOURNAL did not fail to
qualify its remark, incorrectly quoted by
the Enquirer this morning, 10 which 1t
charged us with saying, "that the mechan-
les are claiming the right of representa-
tion !" but we did say, they care claiming
the same rights of representation that are
claimed and admitted by the Irish, Germans
aud negroes" When the Germans of
Richmond proposed placing one of them
selves from each ward on the City Council
ticket, no objections were made by the En-
quirer, but it does object n1soi

something to say in opposition to this long

We advise Republicans to "hands off

BITUMlNOUS VS.. ANTHRACITE
COAL.

The general public has long been mis-
taken as to the relative value of hard and
soft coal. 1t has been generally assumed
that the anthracite, at its higher price, was
more economical than the bituminous coal.
We have long been convinced of the error
of this impression. In the West, where
there are vast bituminous deposits, but no
anthracite, it is rapidly being removed,
and the local mines are supplying soft coal
on large scale, when, a few years since,
only anthracite was used.
We are in the same condition iu Vir-
giLia Our vast coal field is bituminot,s,
and when the value of this coal is fully
known, market will be opened for it
along the whole Atlantic coast. Much of
the popular errer 10 this matter is due to
improper contrivances for burning soft
COAL These are being rapidly i'm proved,
and place our coal upon par with an
thracite, and for steam, above it in COM
bustible value. Colonel Benton, of the
Springfield armory, has been making some
valuable experiments, which are very de-
cisive as to the relative value of these
Goals:
He had each of three different kinds of coal
used for six consecutive days in making steam
for the engine of that establishment; first, the
Lackawanna, or the hardest of anthracite
Goals; second, the Pittston, softer anthracite
and third, the Cumberland, or bituminous coal
of Maryland. The results were as follows:
OF the Lackawanna coal, the number of pounds
used per borse- power, per hour, was 4.0l, OF
Pittston 400, Of Cumberland 303. The coal
cost at the armory, Lackawanna So so per ton,
of 2,240 pounds, or $0.o0369 per pound; the
Pittston 81 85 per ton, or $O.00350 pound;
the Cumberland 50 10 per ton, or SO. 00406 per
pound, which would make the cost OF the Goals
per horsepower, per hour, as follows: I: Lacka'
wanna so 0l464, Pittston $0.0l400, Cumber
land so O13398.
OF course these figures make clear the fact
that, even at a higher price per ton, the btu
minous or soft coal is the more economical, ma
king more heat and creating more power per
pound and per cent. of cost than the harder
GOALS. Some statistics from another source in
dicate that while one pound of Cumberland
coal evaporates 10 pounds Of water into steam,
a pound of the Newcastle Epglish) coal evap-
crates but Z 80 pounds of water, the American
anthracite pounds, English Stafordshire coal
$40 pounds, and dry pine wood $40.

The Special Conservative Tar. We no.
ticed in yesterdays issue of our paper, that the
police force had been taxed So per man for po-
litical purposes We have been informed this
morning that they have been taxed as follows !:
Mayor, $50; chief of police, $50; captains,
from $l3 to SIS; sergeants, Sll; and privates
50. Now this is really too bad, but yet it .is
not all for the fire department have come in
for their quota, the engineers being taxed 50,
and the firemen Sc This is what it costs to be
conservative pets. We understand that a tax
of one per cent. has been levied on the leakage
of the present Council for the past year. If
this is so this august body will have to come
down to the tune of about $4,000.

THE TRADES, UNION TICKET.

The Enquirer, in answer to our allega-
ton that the mechanics of Richmond are
denied their proper representative inAu-
ence in political affairs, publishes list Of
the Council. Our position is not in the
least affected by the fact that nearly one
half of the members of that Council are
or have been at some time, mechanics
There are in every profession men who
will vote against the interests of their class
for personal aggrandizement 1t is not
enough that a man be a mechanic to make
him proper representative of the indus
trial interests of the city. He must be
intelligent, capable, honest and true to the
interests of labor.
The mechanics themselves know best
who they can trust, whether of their own
class or outside. We claim for them the
right to put their own candidates in the
field, aud we certainly propose to give
them fair chance to make their claims
known to the public. The question is,
whether the mechanics shall choose their
representatives or leave it to tho political
parties to do it for them
