Dr Johnson used. to say he loved a good hater. This remark has been misused more times than it has been properly applied. A good hater is not an indiscriminate hater;; a ahuman wildcat is not, nor is a loon Or a screech owl; but the trusty old watch dog who guards your house day and night who romps with the children and takes long rambles with you on Sunday, is a very good hater of every thing he believes to be inimical to your interests. Good haters are such because they know what to hate, they are also affectionate, steadfast, low able friends. Good haters are worth cherishing; great haters, however, ought to be caged.

A story has recently been going the rounds of the republican press to the
 effect that J. Pierpont Morgan had set his stakes to defeat Roosevelt for re- nomination, and that if he was unsuc-
 cessful in this he would carry the war further and would bring about the nomination of Cleveland, whom he would have elected as a punishment to Roosevelt and his antitrust doctrine. This is a fit companion to that other campaign canard to the effect that the trusts were contributing to the dem- ocratic campaign fund as a result of the presidents New England speeches on the trusts; and the story was matched up in some republican mind bent on hoodooing some voter, no mat ter if at the expense of truth, just as it's companion story was. 1t is sim ply to be observed that when party organs get so short on arguments in the defense of their own party policy as to have to resort to cock and bull stories and cheap campaign fiction as these two stories are, they must be in desperate straits and their position smust be well nigh indefensible Such stories askthese, serve to show how in- X Ec6rsistent and fnconstant the republi- cans are. h previous campaigns the republican press has never let the thought be- lost sight of that the wealth of the country was opposed to the policies of the country, and they urged that as reason why the gov ernmental machine should not be al- lowed to pass into the hands of the democrats. To-day these same party organs are trying to prove that the wealth of the country is with the democrats and against the republi- cans, and that therefore the democrats must be defeated. The republicans are always ready to blow hot or cold at election time 9as the exigencies of the occasion may demand. But it is. safe to say that the trusts are with the republican party just so long as the republican party continues to op- pose the tearing away of the shelter it has erected for the use of monopoly, and any assertion to the contrary will serve only to lower the reputation of the paper or speaker for truth and Yeracity responsible for it.

The president of the United States has, in a dignified way, called upon the mine operators and on the work ing miners to cease their strife and give the people coal. His appeal was to patriotism, to enlightened self-in- terest and to the feeling of humanity. The result so far is merely nothing. There are truth and rights on both sides of the controversy, but there is a higher truth and a higher right over and above the contentious of the min CTS and their employers. In every age, in every cline. in every country, when conditions are too X hard upon the people, the people demand a change. The answer is always made that under the law nothing can be done. Then, and not till then. the fundamental law is changed. It will be changed here The people will not forever be at the mercy of com binations of capital or of labor. If private ownership of public necessi- ties and public utilities proves harm ful to the people at large, public own ership will be tried. To make these changes does not mean socialism, an- archy or revolution. We have the right and the tools with which to control our own destinfes and it is our duty to use them.

by going on a third ticket. Now that this republican scheme has failed we expect to see the g. o. p. managers add some trimmings to the ticket Mayor Charters is going to stand fur. If Charters could only see ahead as far as the New Haven editor he cer- tainly would save himself the trouble of making explanations in years to come. This action of his in running on an independent ticket will be used as campaign material if he should ever come up for political honors again. Charters friends in this city are surprised to think he should allow himself to be used in such a manner. Take a lesson from Editor Troup, Mayor Charters, and pull away from
 the clique that is making catspaw of you for their own interests. 1t is intimated now that there is republican influence and perhaps money back of the movement to run third ticket with Mayor Charters name on 1t.

POWER IN A POUND OF COAL
Surprising Energy Stored in Single
 Handf1I of E.rel.

Surprising Energy Stored in a Single
 Handful of Fuel.
 "A pound of coal can produce power sufficient to pull a large express train a distance of one-sixth of mile, going at the rate of fifty miles an hour." said an experienced locomotive engineer yesterday.
 You would be surprised" he contin- ued, "at the wonderful amount of work which the energy from this small quantity of coal can do. For the pur- pose of explaining, take, for instance, a pound of what might be called aver age coal, containing about 10000 heat units. This would be somewhat smaller in size than a mans fist.
 If this pound of coal could be com pletely burned in water one foot deep with temperature of sixty-four de. grees, and all the heat from this coal be imparted in the water, this water would become sixteen degrees hotter, thus being suitable for a comfortable bath. If adapted to mechanical work the 10000 heat units in the one pound of coal would be equivalent to 236- horse power. The 236-horse power of potential energy contained in the pound of coal is enough to haul train of eight cars for period of one-fifth of 8 minute, or a distance of one-SiXth of a mile, going at the rate of fifty miles an hour. It has also been found to be able to draw a cable train, in cluding the grip car and trailer, for distance of two miles at the rate of nine miles an hour. It would also be of sufficient power to pull an electric car, well filled with passengers, for two miles and half at rate of ten mines an hour
 If the power in this pound Of coal is compared with the work of strong man used to hard labor, it would be found that there is more than suffi- cient power in the pound of coal to do in one minute the days work of eight hours of five strong men. This Is ac- counted for in this way: The work of a strong man, used to hard work. is es- timated as being equal to one-tenth of a horse power. The eight hours he works is equivalent to 480 minutes. Naturally while working man makes a number of stops, either to rest or change the monotony of his position. These stops, then, would, without dlf- fculty, take up one-tenth of the mans Llme. Thus this would reduce the time of actual work down to 432 min utes. This time, at one-tenth of the horse power, makes the total or ms days work amount to 43.2-horse power.
 At this rate it is shown that it would take 2,600 strong men, working constantly, to do Jointly the same amount of work in one minute as can be done by the single pound of coal.
 .Another line of work in which the superiority of pound of coal is shown beside the labor of man is that of sa s&e ing wood. A man may consider him self swift sawyer bye making sixty strokes minute, each stroke of the blade having progressed five feet a minute, but a circular saw, driven by machinery, may be put through seven ty times that distance and saw seventy times as much wood. Still, this little pound of coal has the power to keep in operation 1So such saws. Balti- more American.

CHARACTER AND THE RAZOR.

Good qualities of the man Who Can
 Shave on Train.
 According to, a Pullman car conduc- tor the average man who travels. for three, four or five days on a train pre- fers to go unshaven rather than shave himself en route.
 i've been travelling for five years, z he said, between Chicago and Frisco and calculate that about one man in ten slaves on the trip. I always like to carry men who shave themselves every morning. I find that kind of a man wants the best and is willing to pay for it. Besides he's the best tenn pered kind of man.
 A man who can't control his tenn per never slaves on the cars, not more than once He isn't a drinking man. either, for it requires a steady hand to shave on the cars and be all there at the finish.
 And you can tell beginner at first glance The regulars always ask questions about the road ahead and if they're near station. If there's a station few miles away they'll wait, unless the road is straight, or there's a crowded car
 It is not an easy job to shave when you strike a curve every 15 seconds, but the regulars, they just stand with their feet apart and one side braced against the Wash-stand They don't cut themselves, either, and I scarcely see any of lem use a safety. just the old fashioned razor, same as use my self.
 T notice that the man who slaves himself knows his way about and takes things just as they come. He doesn't get excited when there is no cause. He eats regularly and he sleeps the same and he dosen,t want to go to bed too early or get up too late. He's reasonable.
 IT he's married he talks to his wife and if he is not married he does not % hirtin' with strange women. He dosen't kick at canned goods, for he knows he can't get any other kind. and the walters like to wait on him for he does not think he's the only nas- senger on the train or try to make him. self think the walters are stuck on liv- ing on their wages and have dislike to tips.
 He's all right, is the man who slaves himself. He never kicks at the scenery. always look out after his baggage and he always looks out for me. wish every man shaved himself on tne cars, do."-New York Sun.

 The report which comes from Chi cago of the speech of Senator Deliver before the National League of Re- publican Clubs will prove another heartbreak to the republican, leaders who are so strenuously opposed to tariff revision. On the other hand, there is no ground for the senator's assumption that the trusts will fall of their own weight. That certairi trusts have failed is undoubtedly true, but that the majority will do so is contrary to reason so long as they have the unnatural stimulus of a pro- tective tariff which protects them from outside competition, they having already destroyed all internal compe- tition in their respective lines.

HOW TO BURN SOFT COAL.

William s. Essick, secretary Of the Reading stove works, states that in view of the fact that there had been so many inquiries as to the use of soft coal and coke as substitute for an- thracite coal, he had secured all the in- foration that he thought was sufficient to assure people that coke or soft coa, can be burned successfully. He Said:
 When fire is started with bitunin- Ous coal in the ordinary cooking stove all the dampers must be open. The coal will then kindle quickly. Put the coal on in sn1all quantities or the fire will be smothered. Keep the fire box pretty well filled and free from ashes. In range be careful in starting a fire not to fill the fire box too full, as the bituminous coal will swell or expand and raise the lids Coke can be burned precisely in the same manner. In fixing the fires for the night m a stove or heater observe the following rules:
 "First-Have good strong Are.
 "Second-Put on fresh coal.
 saThird-Let the draft on long enough to burn off the gas. This requires but few minutes.
 sFourth-C Close all the dampers or in other words take off all the draft.
 Tn the morning stir up the fire well with a poker, put on the draft and a good quick fire will soon be secured.
 "The smoke pipe in a range should not be less than six or seven inches in diameter. When less than that the fire is apt to be sluggish.
 "The fues, smoke pipes and chim- neys must be cleaned from time To time and the soot removed. The accu- mutation of soot in stove or heater where soft coal is used is much greater than when anthracite is used
 Experiments have shown said MT Essick, that soft coal can be used as successfully as anthracite and at less t."-CoaI Trade Journal.

 A COUNTRY WITHOUT STRIKES.
 The Church Review says: .sNew Zealand has done the most darirlp things ever attempted by any modern government. The New Zealandera claim that New Zealand is a country without strikes. Laborers and enl ployers have their disputes there as elsewhere, but the one cannot quit work, sor the other lock out workmen. pending a settlement of the dispute in courts. It is also a country without paupers or poorhouses, for injured workmen are cared for by their en- ployers. The aged workman is pen. stoned by the government as soldier of industry worn out in the ranks. The government owns not only the postal system, but the express service. the telegraph lines and the railroads. Re gently it has purchased a coal mine to supply it's locomotives with fuel. and 1t intends to compete with priyate mines in the sale of coal to the public far enough to keep the price of coal down to reasonable figure.'s
