gas househoiders will be loath to turn back
to anthracite, especially IL they feel that
they are being mulcted In unreasonable
prices by the operators.
The direct sale of anthracite by the OPP
orators to the consumers will mean profit
to the former of at least 200 per cent above
actual cost. Reckoning the coal and freight
profits as one-this being the case in ma
jority of instances-the present rate at
which the shipper buys his coal to pass on
to the retailer nets the mine owner more
than is earned in the average business. If
to this profit Is added not only the present
shippers and retailers profit, but the saved
cost Of local storage, which is one OF the
heaviest items charged against the retailer,
the bargain will be by no means fair one
to the consumer.
competition between hard coal and other
domestic fuels Is the order of the day as
soon as the householder is prepared to use
that which comes to him cheapest. This
strike has developed many reliable oil burn
ers which In a season or two of extending
use will find a lower level of cost and a
higher degree of serviceablity. Short OF a
combination between the oil trust and the
coal trust, which Is one of the dangers to
be feared, there ought to be ground Tor
hope that the people may eventually be re-
Iieved of the present heavy burden Of fuel
cost. The present policy Of the operators
is likely to hasten the day of deliverance by
enforcing the lesson that coal at the pre-
vailing rates. especially when sold straight
fl ON the mines, is an exorbitantly eXpen-

Two Decades Of Big Ships,

A striking illustration Of the rapidity
with which marine architecture has devel-
oped during recent years Is to be had in
the case of the old Anchor liner City Of
Rome. which was built In 1881. and for
twelve years enjoyed the distinction of be-
ing the largest Atlantic steamship. She is
being towed now in England to an obscure
port to be broken into junk. It Is with diff
1culty that one recalls the City of Rome as
a holder of records of any kind. although
when she was in her prime her name was
familiar to the people on both sides of the
ocean,. When she was displaced from top
rank dn point Of size by the Lucania and
the Campania, in 1893, there was much
marvelling and many predictions that these
vessels would for long time hold the head
of the lists. But once the era Of big yes
sells opened it produced a rapid succession
Of largest ships,'' and during the past five
years there has been such impetus in
the steamship building line, especially in
Germany, that the announcement OF an
other monster excites comparatively little
attention. Just at present the Oceanic and
the Celtic are the largest vessels in service,
and alongside Of them the City Of Rome
would seem a pigmy.

Selling Coal Direct.

Preparations, ii is reported. are being
rapidly made in New York for the direct
selling OF anthracite coal to the consumers
lished, and those retailers who took ad-
vantage of the recent shortage to squeeze
the people are finding 1t impossible to get
their orders filed. President Baer's pro-
gram Is under way. But there is no sign
as yet that the operators propose TO give
the people the benefit of the saving of the
profit Of the middlemen and the retailers
The coal prices are being restored to pre-
strike points. Yet 1t is announced by the
operators themselves that they are finding
no difficulty in placing their direct agencies,
because they require for this purpose very
much less yard room. being able to deliver
direct from the cars to the consumers
Thus they acknowledge that the expense
of retailing will be materially less to them
than to the independent dealer.
The public may not Immediately demand
TO share in this saving of cost, but the con-
selling system will assuredly cause q de-
cided falling off in the consumption as time
passes. Already this season the coal Indus
try has lost heavily. People have made

The District and Congress.

Although not participating in next Tues
days elections, Washington takes the keen
est interest in the result, especially of the
baIloting for Congress. That body Is the
Districts legislature, its common council
and board of aldermen. 1t occupies an IN
innate relationship TO the capital and upon
it's composition often much depends In the
direction of local affairs. But this reia-
tionship has no partisan basis. The attl-
tude of Congress toward the District does
not change with the shifting OF control
from republicans to democrats, save as one
party or the other may be pledged to an
economy from which the District viii sur
fer. Occasionally, as in 1896, and again IN
1900 one party has projected its campaign
on lines which have transformed the nor
mally non-partisan Washingtonlans INTO
partisans. In those years the democracy
stood upon platforms which threatened the
material welfare of the capital. Then
practically the entire local business COM
munity desired democratic defeat ana hoped
for a republican Congress. But the de-
mocracy has deserted the false idols of free
silver and free riot which it then Wor-
SHIPPED and the contest between the parties
seems to involve no issues Immediately al
fecting the prosperity Of the capital.
Washingtonians are thus enabled once
more to regard the contest for seats IN
Congress with the equanimity of non-par-
tisans, though with the Keen interest which
attaches to the selection for them by
others of their legislative rulers.
Individual campaigns IN congressional
districts are here kept under close scrutiny.
Members are known for their participation
in local affairs the helpful and harmful
share which they take in District legisla-
ton. Probably no other city in the United
States is enabled thus to maintain such a
comprehensive and yet detailed interest in
the national canvass when the presidency
is not at stake Nowhere else is this nom
partisan concern possible The return Of
those members who have heretofore been
active agents for the development Of the
District on broad rational lines Is prayed
for fervently, while the defeat Of those
who seek to hamper the Districts growth
and betterment and stand in the way OF
progressive projects or seek to impose
burdensome requirements upon the people
is as earnestly desired. Taking no part
in these contests, the District often sees
itself cited as an issue In them, but never
yet has it occurred that a congressman
broad-spirited championship of the federal
city's best interests has injured his chances
for reelection.
Washington hopes that Tuesdays voting
will result in the return of a Congress
which will carry forward on a proper scale
and on equitable terms the great projects
for capital improvement now pending
which will respect the fundamental prin
ciple Of the partnership between the Dis
trict and the government, and which vii
do all that is necessary to give the capita
not only fitting equipment, both munich
pal and federal, but will preserve 1t from
crushing burdens of immediate taxation.

End of the Campaign.

The noisy features of the campaign come
TO an end tonight. The spellbinders and the
brass bands will be paid off. The march
ing club. will be disbanded. and their far
ing equipments will go to junk. Tomorrow
and Monday will be devoted to conferences
and to arrangements for getting the voters
to the polls This is most important work,
but two days are sufficient for 1t. Then
comes the day, big with Caesar and with
fate" when the tale will be told.
Upon the whole according to both sides.
1t has been difficult to get the people inter-
ested. For weeks the meetings were poorly
attended and the demeanor of the small
audiences was spiritless. Orators of ma
tional reputation shared with local spouters
the encouragement Of empty benches.
There was something of rally when the
coal strike became acute and entered into
the political equation, but at no time in
any sustained way has public interest
reached a high pitch.
Probably this apathy accounts for the
fact that not single new orator has been
developed by the campaign. No new name
has been added to the list of those upon
whom the party managers rely to stir up
the people from the stump. Nor has any
orator of established reputation made a
speech which has added materially to his
fame. Not a burst of eloquence. indeed,
has been reported from any quarter during
the whole three months of the canvass.
Some excellent speeches have been made,
but all have been of a practical, everyday
kind.
Even the fakirs have been subdued. No
roorbacks of consequence have disturbed
the peace. Here and there candidates for
Congress have been obliged to deny little
yarns about their record in office but no
invention calculated to take the country S
breath away, and to send party nagers
scurrying in every direction for denials has
been started upon it's swift travels by either
side. If the big liars were broke when the
campaign began they are certain to go
hungry this winter. They haven't turned a
trick.
Does all this promise a light vote? Some
people say not. AS they view the matter,
the voters had their minds pretty well made
up before the campaign began, and nothing
has occurred since to excite them. They
have not been Indifferent except to the
racket of professional politicians. What
the result will be is of course a matter Of
opinion. Both sides profess to be confident
and both sides may feel confident, but only
the polling can settle the matter. That
takes place on Tuesday.

Adlai Stevenson.

What's the matter with Adlai Stevenson?
Is he all right?
Mr.. Stevenson has always been an active
party man. He has always managed to
keep in touch with the formal deliverances
of the democracy. At the time he was
classed as a greenbacker his party leaned in
that direction. When 1t recovered from
that malady he recovered. He had so COM
pleteIy recovered that by 1892 he able
to accept second place on the national ticket
with Grover Cleveland, an aggressive and
uncompromising gold standard man. He
presided over the Senate serenely when the
death blow by Mr.. Cleveland's order was
delivered TO silver. At the end of his term
as Vice President he accepted a commission
to go abroad in the interest of silver, and
by 1900 was able to accept second place on
the national ticket with Mr.. Bryan, whose
campaign was based largely upon abuse of
MIR. Cleveland and all for which Mr.. Cleve-
land had stood.
Mr.. Stevenson has been spending the
closing days of this campaign in New York,
speaking for Mr.. HIS state ticket and in
the interests of democratic candidates for
Congress. The influences over there are all
sound money influences. And yet they
have not disturbed Mr.. Stevenson. His old
greenback and free silver affiliations and
activities have not appeared to plague him
IN the slightest. He has not been less fluent
or earnest in his utterances because of
them. He wants all candidates represent
ing the democratic party elected.
Mr.. Stevenson is as attractive he is
versatile. He has a great many friends.
and they may be found not only in both
factions of his own party but in the repub-
lican party we'll. While not an orator,
he Is a good speaker. While not dependent
upon office for his living. he has held office
repeatedly. He likes the game of politics
and plays it well. His personal address is
winning. He is by means an old man.
Geographically he is well situated, residing
as he does, in a prosperous middle state
where his party sometimes exhibits consId-
cradle strength.
Now, observe. The democratic factions
must get together. The Cleveland people
are unalterably opposed to Mr.. Bryan!
leadership. and the Bryan people as unal-
terably TO Mr. Cleveland's leadership. A
compromise is absolutely necessary
and who is more promising for that role
than Mr.. Stevenson? He has been asso
clated with both Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.
Bryan, and his personal relations with boti
are cordial. Is he in training for 1904
And IL he is, may he not develop into
formidable figure in the democratic camp?
