EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Surrender of the Mine Operators.

HARD WOODS FOR FUEL:
Factory Whose Furnaces Are Fed
With Ebony and Rosewood.

People have turned to everything for
fuel during the coal famine brought on
by the present strike, but it is doubtful
if the furnaces of more than one fac
tory are fed by costly imported woods.
where every ton burned means a value
of from $50 to $40 gone up in smoke.
The firm ia question is located in Cam
bridgeport. Its engineers have found
that hard woods like ebohys7 rosew cod
lockwood and Bgllumvitae. we'll season.
ed. burn almost as well as coal. The
only precaution which they take is not
to burn coal and wood at the same
time; they stoke their fires with $40
wood fuel part of the time and with
scarcely less extensive coal fuel the
rest of the time.
On the face of it it may look as if the
concerns managers are throwing away
(Or burning up good money, but with
them it is a plain business proposition.
AS one of them explained this morning,
they have unusual storage room, and foG
many years have been constantly in the
market to buy During the course of
this time they have picked up q large
amount of wood at extremely low
prices. When. for instance the Ma tional
Mahogany and Cedar company was
formed of several of the most prominent
New York and Boston wood concerns,
he individual firms composing them
had a general selling-out of stock, and
when the same trust distintegrated a
short time later. there was another sale
and at both of these the Cambridge
port company profited in good wood at
reduced prices. So if fine hard wood
worth $40 ton cost them less than $1O
ton. they can afford to use it under
their boilers rather than buy bitunin-
Gus coal at very nearly that price nr
anthracite coal at half as much again.

An attempt was then made to name

indianapolis News: There is or should
be no politics in any county office.
There is no Republican and no Demo-
cratic way Of running the office of
treasurer. or auditor. or clerk. or re-
corder, or sheriff The fact that man
is a Republican or Democrat does not
of itself fit him for any of these i'm
portant positions. The only test that
should be applied is that of fitness. The
intelligent voter and taxpayer will vote
for the most fit men. or the least unfit
men for these positions without any re-
gard to party. The reason that we have
such wretched local governments in this
country is because we allow the poll
ticians to persuade US that political is
sues are involved in local elections.
They trade on our party loyalty. and the
result is that we are often betrayed. 1T
is not important that the county Offices
should be filled by Republicans or by
Democrats. 1t is vastly important that
they should be filed by good men. The
sole question is one of honestly collect
ing, caring for and disbursing public
funds. Let US try to keep that fact in
mind, and vote for the best men who
offer themselves for the various county
positions. Thus we shall best serve. il
not our party, certainly ourselves and

their lairs They are undisturbed in this
