NEW KINDS OF FUEL,
A Hoped-For Emancipation From An
thracite Miners,

From the St. Louis Globe Democrat
AS the present methods of supplying the
public with coal have broken down, II Is
necessary to study the situation for per-
manent means Of relief The system of
compelling consumers to pay five or ten
times as much for coal as It Is worth. and
of occasionally cutting off the supply en-
tirely, In order to make the public feel
meek, Is played out. 1t Is causing some
present distress and tightening the pockets
of people generally. but 1t is now a recog-
nized fzzle and imposition. Customers are
turning to other means Of keeping warm in
winter. Anthracite as reliance Is a thing
OF the past. 1t is absolutely controlled nv
a trust In both mines and railways. and
can receive no further confidence The ex-
cessive profits upon it since passing into
a monopoly are estimated at $500 600 GOO.
This year there has been a prolonged strike
and, with winter at hand. consumers with
whom anthracite has been the only choice
are in q panic. ,-.-..-r
In some cases oil, the supply Of which is
rapidly increasing. can be used instead of
coal A number Of steamships are under
construction to carry 1T from Texas to New
York. Texas company will contract TO
deliver 1t at from 50 cents to 81 O5 a barrel.
Three or four barrels furnish as much heat
as ton of coal. A recent report of the
