A New House Fuel Invented.

good deal OF interest has been
centered in "coalite," and numbers
have called at the exhibition of II In
Newcastle to sec this coallte burning
In the gratc and hear about its re-
markable properties as house fuel
IL is a bright. hard substance, very
similar In appearance TO the best
coke, and in burning II makes no
smoke and gives OF. Il Is claimed
something like twice the heat OF
coal, while n coal,te fire lasts 40 per
cent longer than an ordinary coal
fire. This coalite 10 produced by a
process similar to that employed by
the gas companies for It's production
OF coke. In the case OF the gas
companies. coal Is treated at high
temperature, the gas and by-pro-
ducts being collected and the resi-
duo being coke. but by the coalite
process the coal ~ treated az a much
lower temperature. with the result
that the gas obtained is much rich
CT. The residue, instead OF being
coke Is coalite, which can be easily
lighted, and burns with great stead
inoss and economy.
For household purposes. II ap-
pears to have a special value, In vir-
tue OF ito cleanliness and it's heating
power. This is now fully recognized
in London, whore the prospect OF
abating the smoke and fog nuisance
is hailed with no small satisfaction.
The King has been impressed with
its qualities and instructions have
been given at Buckingham Palace TO
have the cellars swept clear OF all
coal and nothing but coalite put
there for the future. Out OF a ton
Of coal about 20 per cent or ooaiite
is extracted, but its calorfic power
being much greater. the ton may be
said TO have suffered no loss on
value, while al the same time the
gas and vast range of by-products
have been extracted.
The. intention Is 20 bring out a
company in the course OF a week
or two, which will erect works at
Barking. near London. and will pos
SEES rights for Great Britain. The
new works are to be capable OF car
bOnizing some 100000 tons an
nually. The process, moreover. can
be applied 10 all bitumnous Goals.
Contracts have already been entered
into with the leading coal merchants
for the sale OF over 100000 tons

with steamers on the Amazon or It's
tributaries. The line that now runs
from Valparaiso to Juncal Is TO be
extended through n long tunnel,
which in five or ten years will be

Argentine road at Mendoza
In Peru thore are three roads

OF extension, two OF them on pihns

the short journey across the contin-
ent further south the Peruvian lines,
even when completed. will offer the
traveller a very long journey. The
remarkable Central Peruvian road,
which rises 5000 feet In fifty miles
from its terminus, Callao, and
crosses the eastern range at an elo-
walton OF 1865 feet Will In no
great time be ready 10 carry pas

then, however. there is an SOO-mile

The greater the railroad devel-
opment In South America the great

the greater incidentally becomes the |
need OF better ocean lines on both |

NIDSUMnER MADNESS.

OF that alarmist report from The Hague con-
corning Japans Categorical neutrality-suspicious.
phrasei-to the United States, 1t may be said
that the best thing about 1t is the denial Of IT,
That, at least, is Categorical" prompt and ex-
plict We are informed in the most direct and
positive manner that the American public has
been kept fully acquainted with all that has
passed between the two governments and that
there are not now and have not for some time
been any special negotiations between them.
That statement is made by our own State De-
partment and also by the Japanese Embassy,
and the latter furnishes the additional and well
come declaration that there is no truth in the
stories about the impending recall or return of
the Japanese Ambassador Such utterances
ought TO cover with confusion and shame the
authors Of the sensational tales thus denied
unless the midsummer madness from which
they seem to be suffering makes them incorTl-
gbe.
To such rumor mongers. whatever may be the
motives Of their inventions and surmIses, the
sane and statesmanlike words Of Admiral Yama-
motto yesterday are to be commended. Appreci-
ating the great influence which the press may
WELD In international affairs. he urged that
journalists should be careful to understand the
conditions in both countries before they write
on such topics, and he deplored the fact that
the editors Of sensational papers-Of which he
there are some in Anerca-did not attain or
exercise such understanding. The governments
may not be directly moved by the midsummer
madness Of q few members Of the press. But
Incorporate utterances exciting popular pas
sions, may make more difficult the labors of
government in adjusting delicate matters OF for
eign relationship. Unhappily, there is too much
truth in Admiral Yamamoto's suspicion that
sometimes deliberate exaggerations or misQuo-
tations published. That is a detestable
thing to do, whether for the sake of sensation
and self-advertisement or for the sake of mis-
chief
fitting complement to Admiral Yamamoto's
remarks is found In the declaration Of Admiral
Evans, to the effect that the leading men and
the governments Of both countries are at per-
feet understanding, that their good sense will
prevent any trouble, and that at is absolutely
silly to talk about war between the two com-
tries" The Stiffness which Is exhibited by the
war scare prOpagandists might, however, If con-
tinued do the harm OF imparting some Of their
folly to other shallow or impulsive persons
and thus Of impelling them to commit petty
outrages for which reparation would have to
be made We have fear of war. But the
wanton, sordid malicious Indictment OF the
mob spirit Is to be earnestly deprecated. whether
In San Francisco or IN Toxic. 1t is time there
was an end OF all this jabber about warships and
Categorical notes" and holy wars and what not
else If men cannot talk and write peace and
patriotism, at least they might talk and write
sense on some subject.

criticism which we have already noted that the
bill did not apply the merit system to the small
est rural village as well as to the state gov
eminent and to the big cities. There was even
some talk by the Democrats Of amending the
bill in that direction, but it ended In talk. for
there was reason TO fear that the Republicans
would accept such amendments and enact the
bill, and that would have been more unwel-
come to the Democrats than the bill in Its orig
inal form. The second reason. which they most
exploited, was that. If enacted, the measure
would shield and keep in office men who were
under investigation and who might be proved
TO be unworthy of retention. That was simply
untrue. The third reason. which was the real
one, but which was not expressed, was that
the majority of of1ceholders at Trenton and
elsewhere under the state government and also
in the two first class counties. were Republl-
cans, and the Democratic bosses did not want
them protected from summary removal in case
the Democrats carried the state next fall.
We repeat the substance OF our recent obser-
vatons about legislators playing politics" and
we extend to the Hon. Robert Davis, Of Hudson
County, assurance of our most acute appreca-
ton Of the game.

PUBLIC SAYINGS AND WALL STREET.

PUBLIC SAVINGS AND WALL STREET.
Present tendencies in the investment world
are sTikingly reflected In the remarkable In.
crease in savings bank deposits. It is reported
that at the close of business on July deposits
in a single savings bank in this city had
risen to S1o0OO0O0O. Such an aggregate, 1t
is said. is unprecedented In the history Of saw
ings institutions; and the most significant fact
about the expansion Of deposits is the influx
of savings from distant points where such
repositories exist and where surplus money
has hitherto been put to other uses. If savings
are SO general and local demands In the smaller
communities cannot absorb them. 1t Is idle to
talk Of an ebb In national prosperity and Of q
real famine in the investment market.
This talk Of depletion of the country's lend
Ing resources has been based largely On tho
failure of states and municipalities to float
bonds and Of the railroads to raise money easily
on new issues of securities Railroad and other
stocks have declined In value and necessary
improvements In transportation facilities have
been halted by the reluctance Of the public to
turn TO railroad investments. But this reluc-
tance does not seem to be explained by lack of
funds to invest, for the savings banks are
handling unprecedented sums, and there are no
signs outside OF wall Street of declining earn
ings and financial stringency.
1t Ia sometimes said that the governments at
titude toward the railroads has depressed the
value Of outstanding securities and hampered
the fiotation Of new loans. But II Is nearer the
fact to say that the disclosures on which it's at
titude has been based have chilled the conf
dence Of investors, who prefer to put their
money for the present where 1t will be less
subject to the ups and downs of speculation.
1t would be interesting test Of public senti-
ment if the city or the state should try popu-
lar bond subscription with a bond netting as
much as is now paid in interest by the savings
banks

PLAYING POLITICS.

Some comments were recently made in these
columns upon the strange activity Of the legis-
lators Of New Jersey In their extraordinary
midsummer session. and the suggestion was Of
fered that their proceedings might not be alto
gether divorced from the practice OF playing
politics" The reference was chiefly to their
enactment Of laws, but It appears from q
recent and striking example, that 1t would be
equally applicable TO their rejection OF proposed
laws.
The example is seen In the rejection by tue
Democratic majority in the Assembly of the
civil service reform bill. There Is probably
no principle better established in national state
and municipal administration than that of the
merit system. 1t is no longer an experiment
1t is highly successful achievement. For some
time IL has been matter OF regret among
thoughtful and public spirited Jerseymen that
the system has not yet been Incorporated in the
government of their state, which Is IN some re-
spects admirable. The enactment of such
measure was recommended by Governor Stokes,
and a bill was drafted and passed by the Sen
ate. 1t was not altogether ideal measure.
1t was not as complete as might have been de-
sired, for it was made TO apply the merit sys-
TEN not TO all offices, but only to the state
government and TO the governments of the
counties of the first classic wit. Essex and
Hudson. Still, it was excellent as far as it
went and it really went long way.
But the Democrats of the Assembly rejected
it. Their reasons for doing were threefold.
One, quite unconvincing and insincere, was the

The optmists who a few months ago were
busily assuring suspicious public that it was
silly to talk about the raising of q secret cor
rupti0n fund in the Police Department for the
overthrow of the Commissioners plans went
into total eclipse soon as yesterdays news
got about town There is no longer room for
doubt that Mt meeting of the detective SER
geants held last winter in Brooklyn three COM
mitteemen were appointed to collect $50 from
each Of the participants. Nor can any sane man
continue to take the charitable view that the
$1,000 which the committeeman were 10 raise
to be spent merely for lodge room goats,
diyans and black balls. The Indignation dis
played by some Of the detectives when accused
of having attended the meeting and their per-
sIstent denial Of having contributed to the fund
until confronted with receipts make charitable
interpretations OF tho affair farcIcal. Commits
sioner Bingham has uncovered n conspiracy Of
his subordinates.
There is something peculiarly abhorrent In
such q conspiracy, nstigated, as it has been, by
the very men who have been chosen to suppress
and ferret out vice and crime. II Commissioner
Bingham Furnishes to the full limit Of his powers
the rtngeaders Of this plot and shows faint
mercy to their weak followers nobody not q
member OF q chain gang by moral right or by
court decree will weep over the victims. While
the final thunderbolt Is impending not few
persons are curious TO know II this successrul
detecting of detectives, conducted so salts
factorily by Deputy Commissioner Hanson, is
one of the first fruits Of that secret inner cir
Gle of police spies which Commissioner Blng
ham some months ago said was necessity. If
the Commissioner has reorganiZed his forces so
as 10 establish such an inner circle without tho
aid OF special legislation and appropriations
better men and better service may be hoped
for. Whether or not the latest coup has been
managed by secret service police the public may
never know. But 1t might be well to let the
detective force continue to suspect strongly the
existence of an inner circle.

SCHOOL CENTRES.

That the twelve-year-olGs Of New York City
might some day have an academic campus or
two about which to centre their affections would
once have been regarded as Enthusiastically Inn
possible prophecy. And yet, whoever studies
carefully the resolution introduced at Mondays
meeting OF the Board OF Education by Commits
sioner Grosyenor II Backus must realize that
the plan of grouping the city's grammar schools
at q few great centres IN Manhattan Brook
Ign and The Bronx has advantages enough to
justify the Board OF Education In giving t
serious consideration.
First of all, the scheme aims to secure the
greatest use Of the present school buildings
for those who need instruction most urgently,
namely, the primary grade pupils. Mr.. Backus
shows that, although the total number Of sit
tings in New York City schools is greater than
the school population, thousands of pupils are
turned away because the seats are not salts
factorily distributed. Not only is the popula-
ton rapidly shifting, and thereby compllcating
the seating problem, but there is also waste
OF seats due to the fact that the older pupils
monopolize but do not fill & large number OF
school rooms. Mr.. Backus believes that IL
grammar grade pupils were sent to special
buildings the authorities would have little diff
f1culty in accommodating all the younger appli-
cants for instruction.
The most serious objection to this plan OF
the transportation problem involved. If every
body in Manhattan lived within stones throw
of the subway, this problem might be solved
by planting the Manhattan centre somewhere
along the upper end of that tunnel. But, as
things now are, the vast majority OF grammar
school children are so far removed from the
subway that they would consume too much
time coming and going. Mr.. Backus believes
that this difficulty would be obviated by be-
ginning school sessions half an hour later than
at present; but there is still tho wear and tear
on the pupils to be reckoned with. If the day
ever comes when an East Side subway running
the entire length of tho island shall connect by
spurs with the present subway, the plan will
then be open to criticism only on pedagogical
grounds What these grounds might be we are
unable to see The separation of older and
younger pupils is in Itself greatly desired by
teachers, quite apart from all considerations
raised by the seating problem. The Board Of
Education will do well to analyze carefully the
many practical details involved In Mr.. Backus's
suggestion and particularly all the perplexng
features of the transportation question. For If
IL is mechanically feasible to shift twice daily
the large army OF twelve-year-olds seven or
eight miles without exhausting sthelr supply OF
energy, the plan will become more than sug-
geStiOn.
