COST AND POTENTIAL ENERGY.

We hear of some people who obstinately re.
fuse to believe that gas is n cheaper fuel than
coal. Figures taken from actual experiment
will not convince them. "It stands 10 reason. y
they say. that coal must DO cheaper We'll,
let them 20 10 a chemist or n skilled physicist
and md out what the real reason of the case Is.
He Will tell them that IL all turns on the ques'
ton OF potential energy. Everybody knows
that there is n great deal more energy, IN the
form OF latent heat, in coal than can possibly be
got out in use. The best furnace can utilize
only abouI 10 per cent. OF the potential energy
OF the coal IT burns; stOo per cent. is tho aver
age. But the chemist will prove to you that gas
potential energy OF the coal. That is the scien-
tihc reason why gas is displacing coal in heat
neglected in the economic world. where compc,.
tition is so fierce, and where the inferior method
or product goes TO the wall. Ii is this margin OF
advantage which enables gas companies TO fur
nish fuel for the kitchen at half the cost OF coal.
Figures may lie, but when n scientific demon
s~tration is made there is nothing more to be
said.-Adp.

silver is not any way near as great as it wng
last fall. when in tho rural districts gains as
great as twenty-five votes to one precinct wero
made in some parts OF the State by tho silver
forces. This fall it is entirely different. Tho
farmers have money in their pockets and don't
warm up to the cry of silver like they did. Then,
again, last fall there was q combination Of all
silver forces to the extent Of the Populists losing
their identity as n party. This year there are
eight tickets in the field in this State. The Pop
ulist ticket, the Liberty ticket, the Prohibition

HARMONY IN OyONDAGA.
Republican Factions Get Together on . Com
promise.

SYRACUSE, y. V. Oct. 12.-Republican har-
mouy in Onondaga county was made possible to-
day by the report Of tho joint committee repre-
scnting tho Republican organization and the
Mckinley League. The principal difficulty was
over the stringent caucus rules adopted by the
organization, which. the Mckinley League held.
rimin against many who had q right TO
vote in the Republican caucuscs.
The Republican organization now comedies
the points made by the Mckinley League.
Under the rules agreed upon by the joint COM
mittce the definition of IL Republican is made so
broad that no one really desiring to act with
the party can be excluded from its caucuses.
Two days OF registry, in each year, the last
power OF fixing caucus places is left with town
and ward committees. and the methods in
same MS in the State and national conventions.
The proposed amendments recognize the princi-
pies OF home rule, minority representation. and
public registry lists.

Justice GaJnor Decides nm Election Contro-
yersy by Analogy.

Justice Gaynor OF the Supreme Court in
Brooklyn has decided that the namo OF Frank
Hcnncssy must be placed on the ticket as an in
dependent candidate for Alderman in the Ninth
Assembly district, although only 500 signatures
werc attached to his petition. In the absence OF
any provision in the statute on the subject. tho
Election Commissioners held that 1000 sigma
lures were required. Justice Gaynor says:
For member OF Tho State Assembly n petit
tion of 800 Is essential; and the Aldernanic dis
trict being identical with tho Assembly district
by analogy n petition of 500 would be requisite
for tho nomination OF an Alderman. AS the
present petition is by that number of electors it
Is sufficient.
1t would seem very unreasonable, to hold. MS
tho Court Is asked TO hold. that tho petition
should he by the number of electors required
TO nominate to an office which has to be voted for
by tho electors of the whole city, viz, 1000. That
would be contrary to the system OF the statute.
which grades the number OF petitioners required
according TO the sizo Of the constituency, from
State down to town and ward.

OBITUARY.

Willie Monroe Tucker, son of Fannie
and Sam Tucker, was born March 20,
1903, and died September II, 1897,
aged four years five months and
eighteen days. Death with its cold
dark wings lowered around the home
of Fannie and Sam Tucker and took
from them their little boy Willie, but
God doeth all things we'll. He is a
little light set in The window of heaven
to turn them on their way to that
celestial home where there will be one
bright summer always. God make
them ablo to endure whatever ills may
come that they may meet little Willie
there in that bright heavenly home.
Little Willie was q sweet child; he
leaves many friends to mourn his loss.
but they sorrow not as those that have
no hope; he is sadly missed by his
little playmates, but while his body
sleeps here his soul is safe in heaven;
they shall see him again in the morn
ing. The darling, the beautiful one,
he sleeps now just for a while, it is
just till Jesus shall come. While his
little voice is hushed in this world it is
still sweeter in heaven.
