TT DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING.

Now some arise and say that the sug-
gestion that a foolish vice. presidential
boom should be started for Senator
Platt didn't mean anything. Whether
it did or didn't the meaning is pretty
we'll out of it now. 1t has been so unan-
imously and heartily repudiated that
nothing is left of it. And it is palmer
than ever that the desire of the Repub-
leans of Connecticut is strong that
Senator Platt shall serve the State and
country for another term in his present
place. They realize that they cannot
make change for the better, and they
see no reason for making a change.
They know the value of Senator Platt's
accumulated experience and strength,
and they are entirely satisfied with him
and his work. They admire, respect
and trust him, and they are in no mood
to listen to any suggestion that carries
with it the idea of displacing him.
Let us hear no more then of a sug-
gestion that didn't and doesn't mean
anything.

soME puhn DEMOCRATS.

Resolved, that we congratulate our
weighty chief executive, Grover Cleve-
land, upon his newly acquired reputa-
ton as successful duck hunter and
that we greatly regret that he has not
given more time to waging an unspar-
ing war upon the flocl1s of threatening
and dangerous mallards, springtails
and canvasbaclls, and less time to CO.
operating with foreign money lenders
for increasing the bonded indebtedness
of an already overburdened people by
additional issues of interest bearing
bonds payable only in gold.
So said the Democrats of Madison
county, Missouri in convention assem-
bled. They evidently don't know that
a deficit is better than surplus and
that an increase of the national debt is
better than a reduction of it.

COAL.

The British Board Of Trade has is
sued a statement showing the produc-
ton and consumption of coal and the
number of persons employed in coal
production in the principal countries of
the world in each year from 1883 to
1894 For the first time statistics of
coal production in the British colonies
and in British East India are given, and
Of the consumption of British coal in
other countries. Although the figures
are sometimes only estimated, they may
be taken as substantially accurate. In
1894 the United Kingdom produced 1885,
27z, 900 tons, Germany 76,741,OO France
26, 964 900; Belgium 20,534 900, Austria g.
573. 900, Japan 1888 3,371,00O, and the
United States 1872 44S,O0o tons. Of the
British possessions, Canada produces
between three and four million tons,
and in addition imports about half her
total consumption, principally from the
United States. New South Wales pro-
duces about three and q half million
tons, but, unlike Canada, her output has
been of late years practically station
airy. New Zealand yields over 500, 600
tons per annum, but shows little or no
increase. Natals output rose from &c.
600 tons in 1889 to AL 900 in 1894. SINH
larry in British India the production
has steadily risen from 1916, 900 tons in
1883 to 1921 900 tons in 1894 The coun-
tries which import coal in excess of the
amount they export are Russia, Sweden,
France, Spain, Italy, and Austria Hun
gary; and of British possessions, Can
ada, Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania,
New Zealand, the Cape, and British
India, together with all the minor col
onies, with the sole exception of
Labuan (Borneo). In the United King
dom, Germany, Belgium, and the Unit
ed States most, if not the whole, of the
coal consumed is of native production.
Of Russias consumption 70 per cent
is her own coal, II per cent. is British
coal, and per cent. comes from other
countries. In Sweden So per cent. of
the coal consumed is British, in France

superintendent Smith of the Police
department has used the authority Civ
en- him by the commissioners to place
policemen in accordance with his own
judgment and without regard to deals"
and pulls" This power was wisely
given and appears to have been wisely
and fairly used. OF course it was inn
possible for the Superintendent to
please everybody. He hasn't tried to do
that. But he has evidently tried to do
right by the public and the patrolmen,
and he has made a good job of it.
The commissioners have heartily back
ed him up and the new plan has a good
and promising start
1t has been long time since Police
commissioners In New Haven have act
ed with the good sense, the honesty and
the public spirit that have been dis
played by the present board. The sit
uation is very encouraging. The board
should receive the hearty support of
the people in it's efforts to do right
things and improve the discipline and
efficiency of the force. 1t means busI-
ness and board that means business
and does business is worth having.

The abolition of mileage tickets is ad-
yocted by the Railroad Gazette. The
argument is that it is unfair for the
holder of mileage to ride 800 miles for
a dollar less than the buyer of a regu-

it does not cost any less to carry the
mileage passenger, and while it is ad-
mitted that the reduction may induce

a corresponding rate on trip tickets will

A German woman, q drunkard and

descendants UP to date, according to
Prof Pellmann of Bonn, who has been
able to trace the career of 100 of them.
OF these 106 were born out of wedlock,
20S were professional beggars, 1S1 pros
titutes, 7G, including 7 murderers, got
into Jail; in seventy-fve years these
persons have cost the state more than
5000, 900 marks. Prof. Pellmann has
gathered these statistics to prove the
injurious effects of alcohol, but writer

to show that it does not diminish fe-
cundity, and that the proportion of
children reaching maturity is far above
the average.

A ROTTEN SYSTEM.

As the result of one day of panic on the
New York stock exchange, resulting from
the unanimous action of the senate COM
mittee favoriDg the acknowledgment by
the United States of the independence of
Cuba, twenty three of the active specula-
tive stocks shrunk in value $29,493,52S.
Why this should be so, with President
Cleveland standing in the breech between
Uncle Sam and Spain, is certainly most
curious, but it is much more remarkable
when one considers where the heaviest de-
clines occurred. The A., L. & s. f. stock
feel in value the enormous sum of $4,012,.
300; Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railway
stock loss $2,16O,OOO, and Western Union
telegraphic stock tumbled $2,265,097. On
the other hand the stock of the sugar and
tobacco trusts, both of which might rea-
sonably be expected to feel the effects of
a war scare, shrunk less than $2,OOO,0OO.
Nothing could more forcibly illustrate
the rotten financial methods in vogue on
Wall street and exemplify the ease with
which the speculative Shylocks can handle

tation, 81, 321 800; silver bullion-shipped
by express, $293,Ss1; shipped by freight

ALI the information at the command Of
the New MEXICAN indicates that New
Mexco's output of the precious metals
during 1896 exceeded that of 1895 by fully
90 per cent. Using Mr.. Valentines con
servatiye figures for the previous year as
a basis, it thus appears that this territory
has produced $685. 500 IN gold and silver
during the year that closes to- day. Fig
ures on the lead and copper output of the
territory for 1896 are not accessible, but
the Indications are that they will much
exceed those of 1895.
The increase noted has been mainly in
the form of gold and should be credited
chiefly to Grant and Sierra counties in
southwestern New Mexico, to the Cochiti
mining district forty miles southwest of
Santa Fe, to the gold mines in south
Santa Fe county, to the Elizabethtown,
Badly, La Belle and Amizett gold camps
of Colfax and Taos counties. These camps
have all shown marked increase in their
output of the precious yellow stuff in the
course of ordinary development work and
promise great deal more than to double
their yellow output daring 1897.

now in order.-NEw MEXICAN.
We are not quite sure as to whether the
above is intended to intimate that the
editor of the Eagle has been in the habit
of offering suggestions to the Legislative
assemblies of New Mexico, or has refer
ence to criticisms made by this paper on
our statutes, in connection with the dis
cussion of the question of statehood.
But, inasmuch as no suggestions have
ever been submitted by the writer to for
mer Legislatures relative to laws to be
enacted, we presume that our esteemed
contemporary was DESTROYS to have the
laws 80 amended as to satisfy the Eagle
and induce it to support the proposed ad-
mission of New Mexico into the Union of
states. We have indicated, elsewhere,
generally, what we think the assembly
should do next winter, and for the benefit
of the able daily at the capital, we shall
promise to add more specific "sugges-
tions" from time to time during the next
few months. As feeler we would sug-
gest that the first act of the incoming
Dem ocratic legislature might well be the

something coherent and free from the
usual jobbery which has characterized the
former legislation of Republican assem-
blies.-White Oaks Eagle.
