Liquor On Shipboard.

The consumption of intoNicants on
board of the large ocean steamers ply.
ing between this city and European
ports reaches large aggregate. The
record of the stewards department Of
the Cunard fleet for a year gives the fol-
lowing figures of the quantities Of
wines and liquors used: $3.50 quarts
and 1903 pmts of champagne, 1894
quarts and 1910 piuts of claret, 1900
quarts of other wines. 4S9, S44 pints Of
ale and porter, l7A92l quarts of min
cral waters, and "a, 400 quarts of spirit
uous liquors." OF this enormous liq-
nor consumption on shipboard, it is un-
doubleday true that by far the larger
portion is by European voyagers, but
it is also true that many Americans, n
great many too many, drink full
share of these wines and liquors, A to-
tai abstinence mission is nowhere more

amount make it an even $500 and
get it. A man would Just as soon pay
that us the odd SO, and in nine cases
out OF ten he will grnmblc at the for
mer bill and pay tho latter without a
murmur."

a Sample of independent Criticism.
For an independent, uon-partisan
newspaper tie New York Herald is sur
prisinGly unfair to the President in the
matter OF the Chilean controversy.

ii every man were to vote his honest
sentiments, it would be found that the
President has conducted our side OF
tho controversy to the satisfaction OF
nine voters out OF ten.
He did not in the beginning 20 fast
enough to suit some OF the people, but
it is now.sccn that our cause lost moth

iorbearing policy. When the time came

and the Herald well knows that the

Why Chicago Is Using It--whnt = Report
err Found Cut.
Manufacturers Record
Chicagois rapidly learning toappreciatc
West Virginia coal and TO prefer i. to
that mined nearer home. Recently the
Tribune, OF that city, sent reporter
through the town to find out the reason
for this preference. The general response
was that West Virginia coal afforded "a
gratifying relief to many smoke suffer
ers." Engineer Mabbs, OF the Board OF
Trade, said: ut costs US trile more q
ton than the Indiana doal we had been
using, but ii has reduced the smoke to
minimum. Except when the furnace
doors are open the combustion is con-
plete and absolutely no somkc is emit
ted" An ADMINISTERED merchant said
that before he began using New River
coal his store was visited every week by
the health officer. but that since he
had burned that coal exclusively there
had been no more official calls. The ag-
gregatc OF testimonies was to the same
effect, and indicated that the Nor
folk & Western WILDE compelled before
long to run frequent coal trains from the
Flat Top mines to Chicago, to meet the
consumptive requirements OF that great
city.
There is much moro in this statement
than is apparent in the IiribunS'S local
report. Those Northwestern bltumi-
nous Goals, when in combustion, throw
oil enormous quantities OF sulphuretted
hydrogen that, health-restoriIs Us that

only to be precipitatcd by the humid
atmosphere of that great metropolis.
Among all the valuable contributions
the South will make to the success OF
the Worlds Columbian Exposition none
will DO more entitled to general appre-
citation than that from West Virginia,
for its famous Goals; whose Combustion
is complete" says Engineer Mabbs, will
save exhibits from the dctilement and
tarnish fundamentally attend the use OF
those mined in Indiana, while the wo-
men OF all lands who, in countless num-
bers, will participate in tho continual
round OF social festivities oil the expos
ition season, will be enabled to wear
their most delicately-tinted robes with
out fear OF sooty pollution.
The jldnyacttrsr'S Recordcongratulates
the Chicago Tribune OH the zeal it has
displayed in pointing out how the
great metropolis OF the west may get
rld OF its suit OF SCOT, and cxtendsalso to
West Nirsinia's coal miners and coal
carriers its congratulations upon the
part they will be called upon to take in
publication OF Chicago.
1t is significant .iact that while our
occangrcyhounds are using Virginia and
West Virginia coal TO break the time
records OF travel between Europe and
America, the most notable city OF the
West is preparing to employ it as fuel
in the interest OF the cleanliness, COM

The Figures for 1t.

The figures do not disclose the ground
of Democratic confidence with regard to
tho approaching presidential election.
There have been changes in the elect
oral college since 1888, bu. they are in
the Republican favor.
In the electoral college which chose
President Harrison were 4Ol votes.
Harrison had a majority OF G5 over
Cleveland 81 more than was required
to elect. The new electoral college will
contain i42 votes, and 223, ten less than
Harrison had, will elect. a comparison
OF the electoral colleges in 1855 and
1892 will help to an understanding OF
the situation:

Grnnhfnther's lint.

Tho Democratic newspapers have
found in what they are pleased to term
"grandiaiher's hat" no end OF opportu-
nifty for the exercise Of cheap wit. They
arc fond OF picturing President IIarri-
son under amuch-too.big plug hat OF
tho vintage OF 1910, tho same being sup
posed to have been worn by his distin-
guished grandfather.
The idea sought to DO conveyed is
that the grandson is not nearly tho in.
telectual equal OF tho grandfather, and
has no claims to recognition beyond the
fact that he is tho grandson Of his
grandfather.
benjamin Harrison won his way to
high rank as soldier in the service OF
his country. He won seat in the sen.
ate oil the United States on his own
merits.
1t was his ability as a lawyer, not his
grandfather's, that placed him at the
head of the bar in the great state OF
Indiana, n commonwealth not lacking
in legal talent.
It was the worth OF his own pcraonal-
ity that made him the nominee OF the
Republican party in 1883 and induced
the people to call him to the Presi.
dency
1t is no disparagement OF William
Henry Harrison TO say that the
grandson overtops him as President, as
the United States OF to-day is far be-
yond the United States OF William
Henry Harrison.
The questions coming before the Sec
ond Harrison have been OF greater
variety and Of vastly more importance
than those which engaged the atton-
ton OF the first Harrison, and no pub
lie question that has confronted Benja-
min Harrison could have been better
treated by any OF his illustrious prcde.
cessors. Whether the matter has re.
lated to domestic or foreign policy, it
has been met with q breadth and cour-
age OF craftsmanship OF the highest
order.
His state papers will not suffer by
comparison with any in the national
archives. His public acts have con.
tributed to the prosperity OF the coun-
try, to stimulate the patriotic sense pf
the people and to raise the United
States in the estimation OF the world.
The grandfather finds. no unworthy
successor in the grandson, and it is far
from adding to the fame OF William
Henry Harrison to try to belittle Ben
jamin Harrison. The efforts is so I'M
worthy that it does not make a favor
able impression on the mind OF any
American, Democrat or Republican,
who is broad enough to recognize merit
where he finds it.
The wits may be assured that the
family pane which was Benjamin Har-
rison's only inheritance will not be
dishonored by him. The fur on grand
fathers hat" will not be rubbed the
wrong way.
