THE most encouraging estimate
Of the coal resources of the United
States is contained in q, late report
by one Of the experts of the United
States geological survey. There
have been so many conflicting opin-
ions ON the supply of American
coal that the American public may
well be pardoncd for a feeling Of
confusion. Now the official esti-
mate is that the coal supply will
last !. .368 years. The kitchen range
and the furnace may glow with un-
diminished vigor until about the
year o778. From this it appears
that there is little reason for appre.
heusion for there is every reason to
hope that by the time the coal sup
ply is exhausted an available sub
stitute will have been discovered.

The political situation in Cuba
is again showing signs Of high ten
sion and before long, possibly. the
cables will be burdened with re-
ports of plots and couuter-plots.
raids and rebellious. The new re-
public, launched 50 auspiciously
but q short time ago by the United
Stases. already appears to be head
ed with full sail for the rocks and
shoal water. The dominant liberal
party. pursuing the frequent Latin
custom, has broken into sub parties.
To add to the excitement the ne
xroes are talking Of forming q race
party not with the object Of solidi-
flying the republic or urging reform
but with the avowed purpose oi
securing more governmental posi-
tions. There are hundreds of can
didates for every place and those
who fail of appointment almost in
vsriably start crusade against the
existing government. President
Gomez is one Of the few Cuban
leaders who seems to possess q
broad vision. He appears to be q
sincere patriot and he has made q
valiant effort to place the affairs oi
the republic on a business basis.
But he is hopelessly handicapped
by the leaders of his own party.
It is to be hoped that he is strong
to weather the storm and that the
Cubans may learn the difficult les
son that civilized government
means something more than Office
seeking.

PRooF of Germany's success In
self.development is offered in re-
statistics of emigration. Less than
20. 600 emigrants left the empire
last year. In the eighties the mum
Der of emigrants to the United
States alone was more than . quar-
ter of million. The explanation
10 found in the fact that Germany
has been learning to conserve and
utilize its resources. It has been
educating its artisans aud training
men and women in productive ca
pacity. II has been practising an
intensive policy and as . result has
increased its national earnings and
seli.sustaining power to such an ex-
tent that it no longer has surplus
population but has ample room and
opportunity for all its own people.
In representative district in Berlin
out Of q total number Of emigrants
in one quarter Of last year but one
third could be classed as poor or
seeking new opportunity because
of their poverty. The other two
thirds carried with them substan-
tial evidences Of industrial prosper
ity. 1t is predicted that the emf
grafton from Germany will contin-
ue to fall of thus depriving the
United States of a class of emigra-
tion which has ever been consid-
cred among the most desirable.
