CHEAP EUEL.

Out in the middle Northwe ct they are
using corn for fuel because coal is SO
high. The coal trust does not need to
try to get its product made into coal dol
lars to brace the market price, but If it
pushes a free people too far, the first
thing it knows somebody will devise a
su bstitute that will be more generally
available than corn. The brain resources
OF the Yankee nation are quite the equal
OF the resources of its soil and its
waters. Already gas and oil are cheaper
every day and are used largely, and not
an ounce OF coal enters into their con-
sumption and less and less OF il in their
production, while the possibilities of
economy in securing electricity from coal
consumption are by no means developed.
Necessity is the mother OF invention and
discovery. 1t Is not impossible that the
coal mine men may some day be left with
their coal on their hands available only
for laying roads and ballasting ships,
cheaper than dirt and not so useful az
sand.

The General Assembly simply did its
plain DUTY in responding to the request
of the city government for authorization
10 borrow money. Providing the munic-
ipslity is not seriously In debt and that
it doesn't exceed It's stat utory limit Of
obligation, an assembly should follow
precedent and grant the city corporation
the power II asks for without exercising
. parental authority that was never in-
tended to be vested Ia 1t. TIE citizens
OF Providence are pretty well able to
manage their own corporate affairs and

ernment get something that the citizens
don't want the latter will settle with the
members OF the government at the proper

THE Municipal League OF Providence
held its initial meeting for the fall snd
winter yesterday and MIR. ARNoI d
GREEN, who usually knows what's what.
made some suggestive remarks regarding
the municipal debt. Among other points
to which he invited attention was the
fact that since 1856 there nave been passed
at the request OF the city government
votes authorizing the borrowing OF
money 2s times. This Is an average Of 2.s
times per year-an average that has been
exceeded by the present city gov
eminent, which within this weeks four
days session OF the Assembly alone has
had three votes passed authorizing 1t Ia
borrow money TO the total amount OF
s235, 900. The present city govern
mens mas had authority TO borrow, we
believe, once before this year, which
Is doing pretty well when 1t Is re-
called the promise OF the Msyor
and many OF the Councilmen before their
election that the city was TO be run on
non-borrowing basis. Out with the
pretendersi
