WHAT THE CANDIDATES WOULD DO.

Mr.. A. G.. BraXtOn in accepting a
call to become candidate for the
Constitutional Convention, and Judge
J. M. Quarles in our issue of this week,
have each with some degree OF mi
nuteness expressed themselves as to
the position they occupy with refer
ence to the leading issues likely to
come before that convention. Their
views are clear, forcible, conservative
and along the line wuich the best
thinkers in cur party today have map
ped out. They parallel each other SO
closely that no fault can be found with
either, and while on this question or
| that, the one may have more fully ex-
pressed himself than the other, neither
has said anything that has not met
the hearty approval OF the people at
large. The first great question is
economy in the State government, an
other is elections by the people, anOth-
Ell the qualification of voters, another
the Improvement of the free schools,
another the prohibition of election to
office by the Legislature of members
from its body. While there may be
others, these may be termed cardinal
principles, and on these Mr.. Braxton
and Judge Quarlss are well nigh agreed
II they differ, it is generally in form
and not in principle. Both have ably
presented the questions which to
them seem uppermost, and both have
hewn along and close to Democratic
lines, and both have so presented their
views to public attention and impress
ed them on the public mind that
either or both could be trusted to car
ry out the wishes of the people in the
approaching convention. In the plat
form of Mr.. BraXton we find among
others this coucise and forcible sen
tence which meets our hearty approval;
l believe that public corporations,
exercising monopolistic franchises,
should be strictly controlled by the
ton of law should be punished by the
imprisonment of the guilty officials.
rather than by the mere imposition OF
fines.
In that of Judge Quarles among
others the followins unanswerable
proposition is laid down:
That government is most ec0nomi
Ical, and is least controlled by corpora
tions and other outside influences in.
imical to the people, which is CONTROL
ed most directly by the people. The
further a government is removed from
the people, the chances are, the more
complex, expensive and corrupt il
will be.
These are high sentiments and thu
men who advocate such and adhere tt
them, cannot but inspire confidence
and find responsive chords in the DO
som of law abiding and liberty loving
lpeople.

KING GOALS DYNASTY SECURE.

Old King Coal needn't fear the latest
strides of his rival Petroleum in the
Southwest. Great as the new Texas
oil field is ana immense as its output
is likely to be it is not probable it will
make very serious inroads on the ter
rtory of King Coal even in the South
west. The eight States of Alabama,
Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa. Kansas,
Missouri, Tennessee and Texas and the
Territory of New Mexico and Indian
Territory produced something mere
than SO 100000 tons of bituiamous coal
last year The Texas oil is likely to
take the place of some Oh this coal in
the local market because of its cheap
ness, the difference in favor Of the oil
being nearly if not quite so per cent.
1t is pointed out, however, that the sub
stituton of oil for coal must be gradual
as entirely different apparatus is re-
quired. For some purposes it may
never supercede coal, although with
care it can be used to make steam on
locomotives, steamships and in factor
les and for ordinary heating purposes.
There is no likelihood of oil perma-
nently superceding coal anywhere, be-
cause petroleum is speedily exhausted.
The Philadelphia Record says:
"All Western Pennsylvania and large
sections of Ohio are already exhausted
oil fields, and it is not probable that
the Texas oil deposits will prove to be
more enduring. The gas operations of
Western Pennsylvania threatened to
put an end to the use of coal for
time. Pittsburg ceased to be a smoky
city" and gas furnished fuel for fur
naces, rolling mills and private resi-
dences; but the gas supply failed in a
few years, and the demand for coal and
coke became greater than ever

The Bar Association may know
what it is about in its pro-
posed recommendation that the
justice be dispensed with and
that a jurist fill his place. but did it
ever occur to that very esteemed and
erudite body that lawyer of ability
would not consent 10 accept position
for the pay there is in it? Certainly
a lawyer whose professional ability en-
titles him to be called a jurist could
make much more in his practice, and
the lawyer whose salary does not reach
what the magistrates get would in all
probability not be as well fitted to fill
the place as the justice. The system
may be improved, but not very likely
in that way. An intermediate court
might be better. AS it is the election
