TILE NIGHT COTRT.

When local Justice began to be affected with
insomnia on Thursday evening, as a result of
the installation of the new night police court
it was scarcely surprising that some OF her
expOnents lost their temper ana thaL ulNaGree-
rnents cronped out among the magistrates and
police officers over the manner III WIllch Luc-
turnal hearings were being conducted. Some
persons thought the cases were rushed through
TOO swiftly while Police Commissioner BInG-
ham and DEPUTY Commissioner Hanson gave
evidence of wrath at the time wasted DE Il
half hour recess Among the police Geherall!
there is widespread dissatisfaction at the NAM
tenance of only one night court for the Wholo
CITY, officers in outlying districts being obliged
nj present to leave large areas unprotected
while arrested persons are taken downtown.
Mr. Hanson calls this necessity menace 10
the citv and Magistrate Crane declares Lat
the manner in which the court was conducted

tba intent Of the law establishing it. y main
nf1rnose of the court being TO abolish the bonds

night court would suffice for all cases
These and all other criticisms IAN TO uiSCIeul1
eftber tha achievements or the promises OF uhe

magistrates have observed, the present method
of requiring all persons arrested at night TO De
brought before the court will accentuate the

If Mr. Shonts's Judgment Of the situation IS

more trains are run in non-rush hours lhah III

of the subway is that the worst delays occur
not at Goth street but below 1t, especially at the
exnress stations at l4th and 42d streets, where
the loading and unloading OF trains occupy
much more time than does waiting for n clear

Of the Illinois Central type the subway company
could live up to its contract. The subway cost
so much money and will be the main artery OF

so many years that the utmost should be done
To make It available on as comfortable and safe

MR. WTLLTAMSs VICTORY.

1t will be generally admitted. South as well
as North, that the better man won in Missis-
sippis Senatorial primary. Between Represen-
tative John Sharp Williams and Governor J. X.
Nardaman the choice was sure to be an easy
one in any intelligent and progressive commu-
nifty. We have not failed 10 comment on Mr..
WillIarns's inconsistencies and limitations as Il
statesman, but he has many qualities which
shine in contrast with the crudeness and paro-
ohialism of his defeated rival Mr.. Williams
measures fairly UP TO Southern traditions and
standards, and has personally the capacity and
inclination TO rise times above the arid spirit
OF sectionalism- Governor Nardaman, on the
contrary, has made what reputation he enjoys
chiefly as reviver Of disappearing sectional
issues and reactionary exploter of those Is
sues for temporary political benefit.
The long stumping canvass in Mississippi
brought out clearly the differences Of view and
temper between the two candidates. Governor
vardaman, who has been pushing the doctrine
that the negro has no political rights which the
white man is bound TO respect. advocated on the
hustings the repeal of the Fifteenth Amend
ment TO the federal Constitution, and pledged
himself, If elected Senator. TO do what he could
TO accomplish that repeal Mr.. Williams depre-
Gated such visionary and futile agitation, and,
though expressing regret that the negro had
been eafrauchised. argued in favor Of acquleSc-
.ug n the present status, in2snuch as MlsslS-
sipni and other Southern states had by indirec-
rion already made the Fifteenth Amendment a
virtual dead letter Governor Eardaman sought
10 Ere the Mississippi heart by promising to
undo boldly the work OF the reconstruction Con-
crosses and by declaring that it would please
him vastly better 10 be living under the Stars
and Bars with Jefferson Davis as President than
under the Stars and Stripes with Theodore
Roosevelt. But Mr. Williams retorted in kind
BY arguing that the Governor, as 4 supporter
of Mr. Bryans then Immediate" but now mon
Immediate policy of government ownership and
operation Of the railroads, indirectly con-
tributing to upset the Jim Grow" laws and to
make life IN Mississippi unbearable under any
flag or any President.
The leader Of the Democratic minority in
the House of Representatives may have felt
that on the stump at home he must meet
parochiaI:sn with parochialism. But 1t would
have served his reputation away from home

I,fERTCAV AND FOREIGN COAL.

From a consular report published by the De
,ortment of Commerce and Labor it appears
that shortly before the end Of June the price
of gas in London was increased 1Z12 per cent
the explanation being offered that a much
greater advance in the cost OF gas coal had
occurred within the last two years Simul-
taneouslv 1t is reported that the British Ad-
miralty regards the bids emanating from Car
diff as too high and contemplates obtaining
fueI for war vessels from Scotland. These
and other facts which might be cited indicate
that the product of the Welsh mines IS com
mandng better prices than for long time
hitherto. with little immediate promise Of
reaction. American competition may possibly
lead to concessions, but until recently the Goa!
cornpanies Of the United States have not
thought It worth while to seek business on the
other side Of the Atlantic. Since Continental
Europe has long beer dependent on England
Scotland and Wales for part of its fuel sup
ply. and must long continue to be, producers
in the latter countries can evidently afford 10
make the most of their chance.
The situation abroad serves to emphasize the
pleasant prospect held out to the American con
sumer by the United States Geological Survey.
recent dispatch to The Tribune from " ash
ington showed that while the deposits Of anthra-
cite may not last more than seventy years If 50

added, until several additional circumstances
are considered. Owing TO improved methods III
mining, there is less waste in the operation
of getting out coal and preparing it for mar

consuming soft coal promise ere long to make

It is probably great exaggeration 10 say

NOTABLE SCIENTIFIC MEETING.

The fine enthusiasm and loyalty which have
always been characteristic of the more distin-
gushed members of the British Association for
the Advancement of Science again dis
played at this years meeting of the organiza-
ton On the programme for the present ses-
sion which began on Wednesday and will ex-
tend into next week, the names of scores
of men who can expect to gain nothing more
in fame or emoIument by their participation.
Sir William II. Preece, Sir Oliver Lodge, Pro
fessor Flinders Petrie the Psychologist; Pro
fessor J. J. Thomson, author OF the new atomic
theory; Professor Ernest Rutherford, who has
done so much TO reveal the nature of radium,
and Mr.. John Milne, the highest living authority
on earthquakes, are only a few of the many
prominent investigators who take part in
this years proceedings. The majority of these
experts are expected to contribute papers to
share in the discussions which are often the
most fruitful feature of such gatherings, but
their attendance alone lends a stimulus to their
fellow workers and puts a check on erroneous
doctrine
Many of the papers presented at these meet
ings are, as they should be- technical and of
interest only to limited number of persons.
Others are popular in subject and treatment,
one of the aims OF the association being to
tertain and instruct the nOn-scientifc element
of each community which this migratory body
visits. Such lectures are designed to repay
local hospitality in n measure, but they often
lead those who hear them to take up the study
of botany, geology, microscopy or some other
branch of science. The principal reward which
amateurs find in such pursuits, no doubt, is
the diversion they afford. Yet men and wom-
en- without professional training have been
able to supplement the lahors of the profes-
siona observer. Without rivalling Gilbert
White, of Selborne, in thoroughness and accu-
racy. one may discover a bird. plant or a

ROWERY BTNKS.

If there IS any branch OF the city government
upon which it pays to look with partiality 1t Is
the Health Department. Everybody wants to be
healthy and keep so. ana most Of us are tempted
to approve of all the efforts made for the gen
eral wcllbeing by the Health Department, even
when the methods followed in maintaining
near-to-godIiness level OF cleanliness tainted
with mpracticality. But the lament just sent
up from the Bowery hunks and the grievances
filed with Commissioner Darlington by the at
torneys of the lodging house owners contain
allegations strong enough TO make even the best
friend of clean living wonder whether the san
tary experts did not leave their notebooks on
economies at home when they persuaded the
Health Department last March to impose the
following regulations upon the Bowery Morpheus
and his kingdom: Fresh bed linen every night,
one bathtub TO every twenty-five beds or else
shower bath for every fifty; fortnightly fumiga-
tiOn floor space Of sixty square feet and air
space OF four hundred cubic feet for each bed.
\ wholesome set Of rules this is 70 be sure,
and it is too bad If it makes the Bowery iodg-
ing house, with its 10 and 10 cent cubicles,
fina1cial impossibiIity. Adventurous persons
who have tarried occasionally at the dime-a-
nghters say that they cannot understand how
some OF the better places manage TO give such
good accommodations for the price Laundry ex-
perts intimate that the new regulation as to bed
linen will entail a daily expense OF about five
cents a room. Some college chaps VOW that not
Il few rooms in recently erected dormitorles al
most fall below the new Bowcry specifications,
and a room smaller than by 10 feet Is often oc-
cupied by the schoolSoing scIOns Of ''our best
families" without detrment to anything save the
wall paper and the wainscoting. The requisites
Of convenience health and economy are there
fore such az to cause a suspicion. In spite OF
