Frances Frenzy.

General Merciers incendlary speech In
the French senate, which virtually adj
Tocates an invasion OF England by
France. was not only ill-tlmed but rIdl.
culous. The ancient enmity Of that M
ton against Great Britain seems to
have been stirred up by the visit OF
Kruger. and In remembering his sor.
rows the Fashoda Incident was WILDLY
recalled. But 1t appears that General
Mercler desires more than anything
else to rchabllltate himself for his
shameful perjury In the Dreyfms case;
he wants to accent his patriotism ut the
cSpenEe Of the happiness Of France, for
his proposed invasion OF Albion Is not
only prepostcrous but convulsivcly hu-
morcus. Is 1t possible that Mcrcicr has
forgotten Waterloo and Sedan? II he
has, by what faulty has he been led to
make an ass OF himself?
Just now when Europe Is making
every effort to compose Itself In peace
this bird OF ill-omcn flaps Its wings and
casts shadow over the peaceful vista.
Mercier's Eighty scheme is not to be
wondered Mt. Feverish rs the French
people are they are not wild enough 10
make such disastrous plunge us Mer-
clcr would lend them.

Coal Still King.

The New York Times speaks very dis.
couraglngly Of the future utility OF ma
tural gas1as fuel In place OF coal, and
quotes data gathered and compiled for
the 1900 i5nort Of the United States
geographical survey. which show that,
while still a factor, OF local importance
In a few Industries. and a domestic con-
'venlence wherever available, natural
gas is giving out. The amount utilized
In 1899 is estimated at about los, OO0, OO0,-
900 cubic feet. In caloriflc value this
was equivalent to about 4.O62. CPS tons Of
coal. To maintain this supply longer
than another year or two will involve
opening new fields and extending, shift
Ing. and enlarElng thousands of miles
OF piping. There has been q necessary
Increase in the charge to consumers,
owing to diminishing pressure and the
necessity for pumping the gas through
long lines. Such increase tends to check
Its consumption for Industrial purposes.
With every advance beyond the very
low price at which 1t was originally
sold. good many large consumers re-
turned to coal and found substantial
economy In doing So"
While the supply may be giving out
In other states. West Virginia has
plenty and some to spare. but should It
ever give out in this state we have the
coal In abundance, and the failure Of
the gas supply would increase the ac-
tivities Of the mine and add to the bet
terment OF Industrial conditions. In
speaking of the comparative value Of
gas with coal, the Times says:
1t was never cheap fuel. and at its
with economy in any operation for which
coal Is available. Natural gas In COM
plete combustion gives OF 1,O5327i heat
units per 1000 cubic feet. A pound OF
6ituminous coal ot average quality will
!iberate In complete combustion about H.
goo heat units. We may assume. there
fore. that 1000 cubic feet OF natural gas
are theoretically equal In caloriiio valde
TO about rs pounds OF coal. At 81 TO ,rer
net ton. which Is considerably more than
1t comes into competition with natural
gas, II costs one-eighth OF n cent per
pound. Consequently the coal TO equal
1000 cubic feot OF natural gas Is worth
less than 10 cents. In practice, however,
natural gas hns not maintained In COM
petition with coal its theoretical compar-
ative value. Tests made ut Pittsburgh
under perfectly fair conditions showed
that, MS compared with coal at 50 90 per
ton, natural gas in steam evaporation wis
worth only GS cents per thousand. At
the present average price OF 1S7I cents pcr
thousand, It Is about on n parity with bt.
luminous coal at IS per ton. or, say, twice
the present average cost OF the best steam
coal In the natural gas district.

WHEELING. DECEMBER o. 1000
Redistricting the State.

One Of the most important and, ut
the same time, delicate duties that will
devolve upon the next legislature, will
be the redistrictlng Of the state for leg
islauye and congressional purposes, and
the IntellIgencer cornmends the sound
and conservative views OF senator-elect
Thomas Z. Davis, OF Grafton, publish.
ed In another column. to the reflective
consideration Of the Republican mem
bers Of the legislature. Mr.. Davis
iaeas coincide in many features with
the 1ntelligencer In regard to the re-
districting Of the state, In this: that
We should not follow the precedent set
by the outrageous gerrymander made
by the Democrats. They sought by an
outlandish and wholly uncons Institutional
method to make the state secure for the
Democratic party for years to come, by
forming delegate districts whereby they
disfranehised number Of citizens. How
well they were punished for this parti-
san legislation Is too well known. Any
reprlsals OF O similar character on the
part Of the Republicans we believe will
meet the same fate.
Mr. Davis suggestion that each coun-
ty- should be entitled to q member Of
the house Of delegates is both rational
and just, and while it would increase
the membership OF the house thirteen
the state can well afford to stand It in
a spirit of fairness and equality. In
asmuch as the membership OF the house
has already been increased seven anu
the senate two since the formation OF
the state, this is not asking too much,
as the population now numbers close on
to 100000. The Republican party In
the light Of the last election, can afford
to be generous and fair without In any
manner weakening It's hold on the peo-
Pile. To be rankly partisan would most
undoubtedly lessen the confidence OF the
Z people.
AS to the Congressional districts, Mr..
Davis Is Of the opinion that they should
be let alone. They were arranged by
the Democrats to perpetuatc the power
OF that party. but the results In Novem-
Der show that the shrewdest politician
10 prone to mistakes. The additional
member OF Congress that West Virginia
will be entitled to under the reappor-
tonment, can well be made, rs Mr..
Davis intimates, Congressman at
large.

The Gold Standard.
