fields of central France. Here and along
the borders of Belgium and near Calais the
most of the coal of the country is mined.
About 3,500000 tons are produced IN st.
Etienne every year. which Is little over
one-tenth of the product of all Frence.
The total production in 1900 amounted to
30 000, 900 tons and the consumption to A.
OO0,Go0 tons, making a deficit OF 12009,00o
tons, which France bought of England,
Belgium and Germany. Only a very little
coal has so far been purchased of the
United States, but it is believed that Amer
lean coal can be shipped here at a profit.
and that there is a good field here for this
feature of the American invasion. Our coal
could be landed at Havre, Bordeaux or Mar
settles and thence shipped TO the chief
manufacturing centers. The duty Is only
ittle over cent per 100 pounds. SO that the
chief feature Is that of transportation. The
probability is that the demand for coal here
Will steadily increase. The deposits will at
the present rates be exhausted In fifty
years and today every bit of the coal mined
is used.
Fuel Bricks of Coal and Oil.
The dust is made up into briquettes,
either with or without the admixture of
petroleum. There is company here that
makes coal bricks that are half coal and
half petroleum, and another which manu-
features bricks containing 81 per cent of
petroleum. The latter burn without odor
or smoke, they are not a1ected by water
and can be kept a long time without deterior-
alton. Their heating power in proportion to
the cubic contents is far beyond that of
coal. One-third of ton Of the briquettes
is equal to more than ton of coal in heat
ing power Only refined petroleum is used,
that from the United States being pre-
ferred. The invention is a new one, and
it might probably be of value in the coal
fields of Pennsylvania where the oil and
the refuse coal dust are SO close together.
The selling price of these petroleum bricks
is about SIS a ton.

The Dirty State Lobby.

While the Republic denounccs
the State lobby and its work, it
might be we'll to remember that
its denunciations are all CT q gen.
eral character, and it wholly fails
to cite specific cases, as the Globe
Democrat very sharply points
out.
What's the use to froth about
the lobby, when such men as Nor
ton, Faris and Orchard hold their
heads high, and have the hardlhood
to defy decency by coming again
before the people on their ire
cords! The Republic knows that
these three men and their pals in the
Senate held all legislation at JET
ferson City in their hands abso-
lutely. 1t knows they violated
their oaths and peddled Legislation
without stint or shame. Did the
lobby want legislation, it was reel
ed off and clipped according to the
price and these men did it. 1t

Scme of the Democratic ex-
changes give their party all the
credit for the fact that the public
school system of the state has been
greatly improved since the Repub-
licans turned the state over to the
Democrats third of a century
ago. We fail to see any reason
for this self congratuIation. When
the Republican party took charge
of the state the public school sys-
tenn like everything else in Mis-
souri, was completely demoralizcd
on account of the civil war. What
school funds the state had previous
to the war the Democrats had dis
sipated in aiding the cause of the
rebellion. 1t was the Republican
party, after it assumed control of
the state government, which put
the public school system upon Il
firm basis and established a cash
school fund of several million dol
lars during their short period Of
power. What the Democrats did
with this cash fund is a question
which is now being fully aired.
That progress has been made in
education under Democratic rule
is admitted. The people are putting
upon the money, however, to pro
mote this advancement, not the
Democratic party. We liyc in al
age Of progress and look for pro
gress in the public school system
even though it may be under Dem
ocratic control. To intimate, az
our Democratic exchanges are do
ing, that had the Republicans beer
left in charge of the state Tho
schools would have made no pro
gress is no less ridiculous than
their claim that an interest bcarin.
debt is equivalent to Il irst-clas:

We don't know that we can ac-
complish anything great in the
way of reform by our opposition
to the booze and Doodle politics of
this county, our object is simply
to call public attention to an evil
which is generally conceded in
private to exist here. We do not
mean that this evil is solelya DEM
ocratic one, it has its hold upon
both parties; but so far as the Re
pub!icans enter therein they do it
as a means of self protection. The
Republicans have no need to re-
sort to such means to secure cleo
ton if their Democratic opponents
were to abstain from their efforts
to influence voters by the use of
booze and Doodle. Although our
knowledge of conditions as they
exist here is derived from personal
contact with them, we hope to
hold the discussion along imper
sonal lines. Perhaps, in the end,
we may awaken the people of
Washington County to the fact
that the politics of the county can
be restored to an honorable basis
by voting more strictly along par
ty lines, and we advocate this
principle, let Republicans or
Democrats be in the majority. Let
us have decency whatever party
wins.

Comparative Debt Reduction.

In their six years of state con
troll the Republicans of Missouri
reduced the state debt from ::35,-
900, 900 to S2l, 100000 an aver
age reduction per year Of 1900,
600. In the thirty years Of Demo
cratic control the debt has ostcn
s;bly been reduced froms;21 900, ,0h0
to s.. coo, 600, an average annual
reduction Of only S$:j:;}'33. 900 a year.
But this is not all of the story. In
making this reduction the Demo
crats have applied -, 50, 900 paid
by the Hannibal and St. Joseph
railroad and IS, 497, $50 belonging
to the school fund. Outside Of
these two sums the Democratic
debt reduction in thirty years has
been only IS, 300, 900, or at the
rate Of S2S3,0o0 year, which
barely covers the minimum fixed
by the constitution. Debt re,i,;c-
ton during the Republican period
proceeded nearly ten times as fast
as under Democratic adminiStra-
tions. Under the Republicans the
school fund brought in an income
of 800, 200 Il year. Now Missouri
taxpayers pay S2+I, 900 a year to
carry the shadow Of the fund.
There are persons who find fig
urcs tircsome, but it will certainly
pay citizens to give the financial
affairs of this state Il closer degree
Of attention. When Gov. Dock
cry himself admits that under
Democratic administration $40,
000,0 900 has been spent to reduce d
debt Of S21 200, 900 to s., 200. 00C
it is time to act. On the same
scale it will require ST.. 900, 600
more to pay the IS, ,000, 600, max
ing total Of S52, 900. 900 applied
to the s2l, ,o0o,G0 debt, of which
Democrats took hold nearly thirty
years ago. If the Republicans hae
continued in power the entire debt
would have been wiped out at least
ten years ago. and the school funt
wonld be in government bonds
drawing interest from the Eationa
treasury. Look at Republican ii
nance in the nation and Judge OF
what Republicans would accom-
plish in Missouri. 1t is not thcil
style TO pay $40, 100000 to reduce
debt of S2l ,oo0. 600 to s., 900 0Dt

coming from the chief executive
Of q state, one expected to admin
i~ter government In the interest Of
al! classes Of citizens, to consult
and promote such interest, to be
open and responsive to all just
criticism, and all reasonable sug
cestion of improvement In con

imperative dismissal Of all such
criticism and suggestion, by & per-
emptory ordering out Of The state

Eibition of which AIissourians Of
any party have reason to be proud.
The governor will be condemned
for making it by intelligent men Of

upon the state by such an exhibit

picture which to many will appear
more serious. If it is an answer
to proved charges Of misgovern-
ment to order out of the state oil
who demand and insist upon an in-
