COAL STOVES For JERSEY CARS
Public Service Corporation to DO Away
With Fancy Methods OF Heating.

ORANGE, N. j.. Sept. 21.-An announce
ment made on this, the first chilly day OF
the season. which warmed the blood OF
the citizens Of Orange and filled their hearts
with joy, was the statement that the Pub
lie Service Corporation had decided to rip
out all the expensive hot water, steam and
electric heaters which were installed in
it's cars last year and replace them with
plain, everyday coal stoves.
Last season the trolley company equipped
the cars with modern heaters in an effort
to keep the patrons of the road warm but
the layout was in vain, for all winter long
the passengers shivered and petitions and
complaints poured in on the ears of the I'm
happy trolley officials. Power on some OF
the lines was scarce last winter, and in the
rush hours the conductors were obliged to
turn of the electric heaters 80 that the cars
could run.
Secretary Frederick Evans Of the COM
pany said this morning that the change
embodied the important points In the latest
theory Of car heating. The stoves will be
nickel plated and OF the latest design, but
they will be just plain coal stoves, Just the
same. In addition to this it is declared
that there will be great saving in electric
power.

Mr.. Littleton Was Right.

The discernment Of the Hon. MARTIN
w. L1TTLEToN was exhibited at st.
Louis when he assured the Democracy
that no inconvenient self-assertion in
regard to principles or convictions need
be feared in the case of Judge PARKER.
1t was Mr.. LITTLEToN who nominated
PARKER for President. In the nomi-
mating speech Mr.. LIrrLEToN said:
III you ask me why he has been silent. will
tell you II Is because he does not claim to BIO the
master. bu, Is content TO be Its servant. II you
ask me why he has not outlined policy for this
convention. / will tell you that he does not believe
that policies should be dictated, but that the SOW
ereignty ofthe party is in the untrsmmelied judg
ment aud wisdom OF Its members. II you ask me
what his policy will be. " elected l tell you that
II will be that policy which nnds expression In the
platform OF his party
There was a time when Mr.. LITTLE
TONS appraisal of Judge PARKER's
strength and independence of personal
convictions was questioned by many
persons. The candidate had been 81
lent and was silent, they said, not be-
cause he was destitute of distinct opin-
ions, but because his sense of propriety
and judicial dignity restrained him from
uttering his political ideas while he re-
manned on the bench. Later, when
freed from this restraint. he would
demonstrate his capability OF true lead
ership, and, when necessary, Of self
assertion amounting to salutary master
fulness.
Subsequent proceedings and events,
we think, have proved the accuracy Of
the Hon. MARTIN W. LITTLEToN's early
estimate of the candidate whom he
put in nomination, with the foregoing
promise or pledge, at st. Louis on the
sth Of last July.

The Police.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Str: For many
years New York has attributed the shortcomings
and inefciency OF It's police force to incompetence
or worse among the higher of1cers. particularly
the Commissioners. During all these years the men
In the department have been patted on the back as
brave" honorable" Clean" decent" until one
might almost believe that they were the pick and
flower OF American manhood. On the other hand,
we have been told that the Commissioners have
been fools and knaves. the basest of the human
race
Would 1t be inpraoticable to try for a while the
effect Of treating the men of the department as
human beings, and the Commissioner as human
being! Has any one real belief that the loafers
and shirkers Who having obtained the three pla-
toons refuse to do the little work required OF them
are but little lower than the angels! Are the men
really any better than the average, as we are told
periodically they ares Is II the Commissioners
fault that they loaf and lie and perjure themselves,
Is he to blame because jury will not convict on
polcemen's evidence. Is he to blame because II Is
practically impossible to nd the force of loafer
and shirkcr! Is the fact that the vast majority OF
the policemen refuse to do their duty blsmable to
him,
Take the rank and hle of the pedestal 10 which
they have been raised treat them as they should
be treated, let them bear the burden OF their own
shortcomings. and you will soon see q change for
the better In the Police Department.

extension OF mining and woodcutting
activities Hitherto the Newfoundland
Government has been unable to grant a
perfect title in any part Of the territory
affected by the French claims. Up to
the present time only a rudimentary
geological survey of the Treaty Shore
has been made, but it is known that a
large riparian section Of western New
foundland is similar, geologically, to Cape
Breton Island and should prove rich in
coal. Numerous indications, also, OF
copper, iron, petroleum and the precious
metals have been observed along the
coast, and the interior, should it prove
to be as highly mineralized as the more
frequented parts Of the littoral, should
offer promising field to the prospector.
The lumber industry, too, has ample
scope for expansion westward. 1t is
certain. on the other hand. that New
foundland will never become an agri-
cultural country. except in the vicinity
of the capital. Very little Of the soil is
suitable to the production of cereals,
but it should be possible to raise all the
potatoes and oats consumed by the in
habitants. A conclusive proof Of the
nascent prosperity reported by tourists
is the large number of frame houses
which are going up in the dozens Of shore
hamlets along the railway. These build
ings are replacing the tiny boulder built
cots, such as may be seen in Irish fishing
hamlets.
In view of the prospective value of the
Newfoundland market, it is satisfactory
20 recall that the island during the last
ten years has been rapidly increasing
her imports from the United States.
She is still, indeed, the fourth largest
consumer of Canadian products; but
the conclusion of a reciprocity treaty
would undoubtedly make us her princi-
pal, if not her sole, purveyor There is
reason to believe that, as things are now,
the Observation-Disclosures would prefer reci-
procity with the United States to admis-
sion to the British market on preferen-
tial terms. Yet they cannot be expected
to wait much longer for Congress to
sanction reciprocal relations. 1t is prob
able that the Republican State conven-
ton Of Massachusetts will have some
thing to say about the expediency OF
entering into a reciprocity agreement
with Newfoundland, as we'll as with
Canada.

Constitutionalists, to Arms!

The Rio Grande has changed it's course
and annexed a slice of Mexico to the
United States. Even the floods and fields
of Democratic Texas are debauched by
the corrupting efforts OF an imperialistio
river.
Thousands OF sheep and goats find
themselves under the flag of Stars and

erned. Nature has allied herself with
the desperate ambitions OF the Ad-
ministration to encroach upon the terri
tory Of friendly Power.
Most significantly, that Power lies
to the south Of us. Plainly, the Rio

better than the Republican party.

report upon this case at once.
