One Remedy for Coal Ills.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

An ancient proverb declares that Whom
the gods would destroy they first make
mad" No more pronounced example OF
the self-destructiye form OF insanity has
been seen in many years than the coal
strike, now happily ended. The bitterest
enemy Of both operators and miners would
be powerless to do the harm to the anthra-
cite coal business which has been done by
its professed friends. They have set In
motion every agency possible to relegate
anthracite to an inferior place. The strike
and the resulting danger Of coal famine
have stimulated thousands Of oar brightest
inventors to find some substitute for this
form Of fuel, and vast sums Of money have
been and viii be spent for the same OBJ
ject. The present stringency will cause
large sums to be used unhesitatingiy, which
under ordinary circumstances. It would
have been deemed folly to devote to such
purposes Some Of the large number or
devices to use oil win unquestionably
prove successful. The tide OF foreign coal
has been turned to our shores, and the
anthracite mines Of Arkansas have had
good : opportunity to supplant those of
Pennsylvania In our western states and
cities. There Is a fortune awaiting the In
yentar who shall perfect some simple
smoke-burning device which can be used

Bliss Probable Vote.

Two years ago Bliss was elected by over
20, 600 but 1t Is likely that this year the
vote will be much lighter and the best re-
publican estimates are that he will get
about $4,000" ma jority, while betting men
place it at from 5000 to 10000.
While the nancy question did not appear
to divide the democrats early in the year.
there was some dissatisfa ction when L. r.
Durand was placed on the ticket for gov
ernor. The friends Of James w. Helme of
Adrian. who had received the second high
est number of votes in the convention
thought he ought to have the honor, and
when Helme was turned down he called
upon his free silver friends to bolt the
ticket. -
Interest in the republican side Of the fight
was stirred up when Senator James McMil-
Ian died ard fight was started between
General r. A Alger and d. M. Ferry. The
result Of this was that the republicans in
dorsed Alger, giving Governor Bliss the
chance to make n popular appointment
when he named Alger for the interim AL
ger must be elected next January by the
legislature to hold his present position, and
this fact contributes to the republican
chances. The fact that democrat has
even been mentioned for the senatorshfp
against Alger shows how little faith the
democrats have IN their chances of success
The Congressional Contingent.
Under these circumstances there seems
little chance of democratic success in the
congressional districts In the present Con-
gress all of Michigans twelve men are re-
publicans, but four Of them were defeated
in republican conventions last summer.
Those defeated were Henry C. Smith of the
second district, Edgar w. Weeks Of the
seventh, T. P. Aplin- of the tenth and Carl
D. Sheldon of the twelfth, who was the
intimate friend of Mark A. Hanna, while
his successor, H. o. Young, is an attorney
of the United States Steel Corporation
In the first district, which compris IS all
of the Detroit wards but three Congress
man Corliss of Pacific cable bill fame has
been renominated, but he is baiag given tho
fight Of his career by Alfred Lucking the
democratic nominee. Irckng is an active
able lawyer and is considered a very clean
man, while Corliss' reputation is that Of a
schemer However. Ccr,iss is a wonder
as a campaigner. being good "mixer"
with all elements. Lucking, on the other
hand is quiet and reserved. The district Is
q close one. In the last election Cor.iss'
majority was over 1900, but in the last
"off'' election he ran only LAS ahead The
fight lisa warm one in this campaign. and It
Is difficult to predict the outcome
In all the other districts the republican
candidates are considered safe. The lack Of
activity in the guberna .oriai fight, with the
fact that national issues are being neglect
ed. is helping the republicans. r. r. K

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
DETRoIT, October 10. 1902.
Unless the political prophets are being
led far astray Michigan will follow
her usual rule next month and Will
return a republican majority. the only
question being -as to the size OF the
figure. 1t looks as if the entire republican
state ticket would be elected and that the
solid republican delegation Of congressman
will probably be returned, with one possible
exception. -
While the democrats have not given up
hope. they are in very bad condition. I'm
fortunate and unforeseen circumstances
have more to do wilt h the straits Of the dem
ocrats than anything else. The year opened
well for them. Governor A. T. Bliss, the
present republican incumbent Of the execu-
tive office at Lansing. had given some dis
satisfaction, owing to charges that he leaned
toward the Michigan Central railroad.
which was supplemented by the protest
against ripper bills passed Tor Detroit
and other cities. JuStuS s. StearnS, the
Grand Rapids millionaire. stirred these
things up in an early campaign against
Bliss for the republican nomination for gov
ernor. but the machine then held In hand
by the late Senator James Mcmillan, Sc
cured the denomination Of Bliss.
Under these circumstances, the democrat
ic state convention, held late last July, was
very enthusiastic. In order that there
might be no split over the free silver ghost
the platform was confined to state issues.
while Judge George H. Durand of Flint,
who was nominated for governor, was taken
from the more conservative element, which
insured him the united support of his own
party as well as the votes Of the disgrunt-
led republicans. while it seemed certain that
with Judge Durand at the head OF the ticket
plenty of money would be forthcoming.
Judge Durand Para1yzed.
But in the early part of September, just
the democrats were preparing to open
their campaign, Judge Durand was stricken
with paralysis. The effect of his malady
was kept In doubt for several weeks. and
1T was not until late last month that he
was taken off the ticket and the name Of
his brother, L. r: Durand of Saginaw, sub
stituted. a." 81
The latter is a fine, scholarly lawyer and
a capable man. far superior In mental at
task seems hopeless. The republicans. with
speakers and meetings all over the state.
The democrats have, no money and very
few speakers. and TIE feeling of disappofnt
ment over Judge pyramids withdrawal is
keen. The republicans were in still further
luck when Governor Bliss was thrown from
his horse in Washington at the G. A. X.
encampment, which smade 1t impossible for
him to do any speechmakng-a job at which
he cuts about as fine figure as a pig In
polka, while Durand makes a polished adj
dress. - 80 q

Sawn Timber Manufacturers Have
 Successful Meeting.

Brewton. Sept. 6.-(special )-The second regular annual meeting of the Sawn Timber Manufacturers Association was held here this week and much interest and satisfaction was expressed by the several members present while reviewing the success of the organization dur ing the first year of its career. reelection of the Board of Directors and of the officers took place with the following results: Direc- tors. T. D. Miller, E. M. Lovelace. E. L. More, c. L. Wiggins J. H. Fuller. J. J. Blacksher. c. W. Zimmerman: officers. T. R. Miller. President; E. L. More. Vice President; M A. Rabb. Secretary and Treasurer. The attend ance was encouraging and consisted as follows: Cedar Crek Mill Co, by T. R. Miller, Brewton. Ala. and F. c. Brent Pensacola. Fla; Black sher-M Miller Lumber Company. by E. M. Love- lace and W. Y. Lovelace. Brewtpn. Ala. {: Horse Shoe Lumber Company. by F. L. More. River Falls, Ala; Berry Lumber Company, by proxy. E. l..

Pensacola, Fla; Lindsey Lumber Company. by Nj. Lindsey and J. L. Jernigan. Pollard. Ala 1: Blacksher Company. by J. J. Blacksher. Mo bile. Ala.
 This organization embraces and binds under an ingenious and operative constitution and set of bylaws the chief enterprises of manu- facture of long-leaf yellow pine lumber and timber of all West Florida and Southern Ala bama and was calculated to maintain a stan dard price on the product shipped through the ports of Pensacola and Mobile. The organi- zation of the association is largely due to f. R. Miller of Brewton, and is the embodiment of the realized desire of every sawn- timber manufacturing plant to avoid the occasional glutting of the market which. the shippers taking advantage of. caused an undue iuctua- tion of prices. Under the bylaws of the asso- citation, each person corporation constitut- ing a member of the same Is allotted annually his quota of the product which he must not exceed, the operation being based upon the capacities of the several plants represented The aggregate amount of the product is fixed by the Board of Directors. who are required to be posted from time to time concerning the foreign and domestic demand. Tn this manner there has been effected a great check upon the extravagant disappearance of timber from the pine forests of this section. The association will soon erect office at Brewton, Ala, as it is centrallylocated and all regular meetings will be held here.

FALL WORK IN THE GARDEN.
First the Working and Planting of
 Bulb Bed.

Llppipcotts. g.
 About the first garden work to be done in fall is the making and planting of the bulb-bed. This phase of gardening was quite fully treated in an article on Bulb Culture,' which appeared in this magazine in October, 1901, therefore shall not now devote much space to it, but simply condense the advice given in the earlier article.
 Bulbs should be planted as early in the fall as possible. September is the best month to do the work in. October an- courage anyone to defer it until Novem- Der, because late-planted bulbs have very little time to make root-growth in. Early planted ones complete this part of their yearly work before cold weather comes. and they are therefore in fine condition for the work of the season when spring arrives. Hence. plant early.
 In making beds for bulbs. spade the ground up well to the depth of at least foot and make 1t fine and mellow. work ing into 1t a liberal amount of old we'll routed cow-manure. If not naturally we'll drained provide good artificial drainage. for no bulb will do well if water collects and stands about its roots. Let the beds have a slope from center to edge, that the water from melting snows and early rains may run off readily. Make your beds as soon as you send off your orders for bulbs. Have everything in readiness for them. and when they arrive put them into the ground at once. Bulbs exposed to the air and light part rapidly with their vitality. Plant the larger ones about eight inches apart and from five to six inches deep. Four inches apart and four to five inches deep will answer for the smaller ones. Before cold tweather sets in cover the beds with litter or leaves to the depth of foot.
