Culm and Electricity.

The Scientific American in recent
issue takes up the discussion of the
relative value of Niagara falls and the
culm banks of the anthracite coal
fields as sources of power. 1t will be
recalled that the journal Electricity
was the first seriously to contend that
the culm banks offered greater calor-
ific advantages for the purposes of in
dustry than are offered by the great
cataract in its ceaseless waste of en-
ergy. The Scientific American is OBJ
viously disposed to concur in Elec-
tricity's opinion. 1t says;
Every coal mine in the anthracite re.
gion produces enormous quantities Of coal
dust, known as culm, which keeps on &C.
cumulating, as it has accumulated fol
many years, about the mines and coal
breakers. This culm has good, calorifc
value, and recently manufacturers have
begun to use 1t under their boilers. 1t can
be bought for 25 cents ton. ID. B. Ather-
ton, the secretary of the Scranton board
of trade has given figures TO show that
with culm firing horse power per an.

annum. 1t is evident that the culm banb
Is the cheaper. or course this apparent
difference is Offset by other considerations
No account is taken Of the capitalization
OF the steam and electric plants required
TO utilize culm, but the difference in tht
quotations given is so great as to certainly
give the economic advantage to culm
as a source of energy. In utilizing
culm we are disposing Of waste pro
duct and OF an accumulation oi

mans operations. In burning coal we are
disposing of the accumulation Of natures
riches. Natural gas is already on the
wane, and sooner or later coal will be-
come exhausted. Then will be the time
for Niagara falls and similar natural
sources OF power to do their part in the
work OF the world. But today there is at
least suspicion that the heavy capitaliza-
tion OF the Niagara falls works will restrict
greatly its domain Of usefulness. Another
point made is that the anthracite regions
are more favorably situated for the distri-
button of power than are Niagara falls,
On the whole very strong plea has been
made for the culm bank ae opposed to the
great cataract. Repeatedly in the modern
industries the capitalization has deter
mined the success or failure Of enterprises.
At Niagara falls the power primarily costs
nothing; the capitalization and Harvesting
of the forco Of the cataract constitute the
elements of cost.
1t is worthy of attention in this con-
nection that the greatest system of
electric street transit lines in the
United States is springing up in the
heart of the anthracite region, at
tracted thither not less by the supe-
rior cheapness andaccessibility of culm
as fuel for the power plants than by
any other influence. The trolley is in
variably electricity's advance courier.
If it is profitable for trolley companies
to build vast systems here by reason of
the cheapness of the great source of
power, it will soon be discovered by
the other industrial branches of ap.
piled electricity that the same supe-
riorlty Disadvantages beckons, also, to
them. The coal fields evidently hold
the key to much of electricity's future.

An Ideal Congressman.

"Some say we want man who has
the gift of CAB, an orator with glib
tongue and more GLIB conscience,
whose eloquence can cover multi
tude Of sins, make wrong seem right,
the worse appear the better reason.
Kentucky is now struggling with the
problem whether it wants an orator.
We do not want an orator; the cOun-
try does not want an orator; it has got
now all the orators it can stand. Our
modern congress is a place for work,
not words; for workers, not word
mOngers; for homely virtues, not for
honied phrases; for good, old fashioned
gumptiOn, not for genius,
Congress has had its fill of Social
lists and POpulists and tramps. The
days of the demagogue are numbered;
of the man who calls himself the friend
of laboring men but befriends no
one save himself; who stands forth as
the champion Of labor but champions
no cause save his own; who ISLANDERS
wealth that he himself may live in
luxury, traduces capital that he him
self may accumulate surplus, and de-
nounces corporations that he himself
may draw dividends on stocks, clip
coupons from bonds and ride upon a
pass,
"We want the man who, having
come from honest poverty to honest
property knows and respects the re-
sponsibilities of both; we want man
whose heart is soft with sympathy
with laboring men, because his hand
is hard with labor, and whose head is
right toward capital because he has
joined the industry to earn with the
brains to multiply; we want the man
who will regard the Office as public
trust and not private speculation; we
want man who will do public service
because he is apublic servant taking
public pay; we want a man who will de.
vote more energy to Legislation than to
reelection, prefer principle to partisan
advantage and give more thought to
public measures than to petty post
offices; we want q man and not q
manikin; we want representative
and not a misrepresentation; we want
o Republican"
Thus spake H. A. Fuller, of Wilkes
Barre, in his speech, elsewhere re-
printed, nominating Morgan b. Will
Jams for congress. The ideal is a lofty
one, but is it impossible Of realization?
One thing at least is certain-the day
Of the demagogue, so well typifed in
the career of the Democrat against
whom Mr.. Fuller's words were direct
ed, is rapidly expiring. This congress
sickened the people of the demagogue.
We have had enough Of him; the peo-
pie have had enough Of him, and they
at last know it. Reforms move slowly
and improvement, in politics especial
ly, is gradual growth. But q great
advance is clearly nearing ratification
in Luzerne county; and it will be reg
istered with emphasis next November
when the election of John Leisenring
shall consign William H. Hines to the
oblivion shat is his fit place.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1894-08-20

We do not believe in and we try not
to practice whining. The great fault
with this age, apparently, is the dispo-
sition, when things do not go Alright,
to sit back and whine. The Demo-
cratic party has made sad and costly
botch of tariff reform; and we do not
findit in us to give it any sympathy or
quarter. But it is a mistake, and at
times n tremendous mistake, to permit
the fluctuations and fallacies of poll
tics either to frighten one into business
failure or to intoXicate one into de-
lirium Of inflated investments and
puffed out credits. The political
bunglers should not be lost sight Of.
They need to be taught lesson; they
need to be sent, every mothers son of
them, to where the woodbine twineth
over the political graves of found-out
confidence men.
But above and beyond and all-round
this duty is the infinitely superior duty
of putting ones shoulder to the busi-
ness wheel aud giving it, politics or
no politics, tariff or no tariff, a great,
hearty forward shove. THE TRIBUNE
will not deviate from this duty and
this principle, however much it may
entertain itself by popping at Demo
cratic heads that bob up along the way.
1t is on earth for business; it assumes
that the great bulk of its patrons are in
the same predicament; and we should
all be very foolish and short-sighted
not to get that business if it's in the
woods to be had.
For eighteen months the suspension
or contraction of American production
gave us chance to use up practically
all our surplus stocks. The flower bar
rel and the sugar bowl, the bread can
and the wardrobe are now all
pretty well down to hard pan; but it
is idle to suppose that an excess OF
politics or a carnival of tariff botch-
work can permanently keep them
there. The seventy millions of pro-
gressive people who populate our rich
and fertile country have stood this for
time; but they will not tolerate it
permanently. Any settlement of the
tariff, short of its utter abolition, was,
therefore, bound to be followed by q
rush of business activity. The settle.
ment has been made, such as it is; the
rush has begun, and 1t is clearly in oul
power to make this revival general and
permanent. The nervous people have
had their day of panic and sock-banks
now let the clear-sighted, steady peo
pie, who ought to be in a majority, ster
up to the captains Office and do theil
necessary work.

JOHN MCBRIDE, the Ohio labor
leader who has just officiated as dry
nurse at the birth Of the new Popu-
listic-Labor party in that state, is
quoted in a Columbus dispatch as not
expecting to win, this year; but as
hoping to elect two or three Popu-
lists to congress, with the aid of the
Democrats This last clause is sig
nificant. Labor, as if it had not got
enough humiliation out of Democratic
mislegislation, is to be coaxed by this
false leader to vote for more. We
