THE OPPORTJ- NTTY or THE REPUBLICANS.
While Committees of One Hundred are being
formed on every hand it is 10 be hoped that the
shapinc of the next campaign is not 10 be left
wholly 10 these volunteer bodies. Amid circum-
stances of less publicity it is perhaps reasonable
to suppose that the Republican organization IS
maturing its own plans. for it must remember
what happened only four years ago through
trusting TO outsiders to c0ntrive a fusion. The
Citizens Union at that time withdrew at the
last moment, and the Republican organization
was left TO 90 out into the highways 70 seek a
candidate for Mayor.
The Republicans could proftably play differ

ure from the one they have played in the past.
1t would be just as easy for the party as for n
citizens committee 10 put up Il ticket that
would command the support of all the iAdepen-
dent voters of New York City And if it did
that. the prestige of such nominations and Of n
subsequent successful campaign would belong
TO the Republicans. and not to some volunteer
organization. Quite the reverse of prestige too
often comes from resigning the leadership i'll
anti-Tammany movements, which naturally be
longs TO the Republicans, 10 some committee of
citizens The Republican organization is put
into the position of not being good enough to be
trusted by independent voters. of being reluc-
tantly drafted into a movement for decency and
good government by certain eminent non-partl-

and standing by taking the lead in all anti-Tam-
many movements. 1t should seek to win the
confidence of all municipal voters of an indie
pendent habit If it had in the past played
such a part as to make Committees Of Seventy
and Citizens Unions superfuous. or at least less
significant, it would be in vastly stronger posi-
ton to-day.
To improve its position in the future-that IS
the role for it to play It should itself TO be

POWER FROM PEAT GAS.

Colonel Astor's invention of process for
manufacturing gas from peat draws fresh at
tention to a material Of which deposits are found
in many parts of the United States Hitherto
it has not proved profitable to prepare peat
for use as fuel at least i'll the Eastern states
The expense of digging, drying and otherwise
fitting it to be burned has discouraged projects
of this kind, and the cost of transportation has
shut out markets at q distance from the place
of production. Almost its only application to
industry in this country is in fertilizing the
farms on which it is found.
The utilization of peat for the production OF
gas to be exploded in an internal combus-
ton engine Is not new. The system has been
tried more or less in Europe For instance,
electricity for the use of small consumers in
the little city Of SVedala, Sweden, IS supplied
from station two OF three miles away, where
two peat gas engines are in service. Each OF
them has a capacity Of 80 horsepower, and
although the methods Of publication adopted
in Sweden are said to be crude, the station has
been in fairly successful operation for FIVE
years It will be interesting TO learn in what
respects Colonel Astors process differs from
others and what the cost of gas made by 1t
will be. If peat gas should give fair promise of
competing with gasOlene as Il source Of power.
many farmers who have their own peat beds
might be glad to substitute the former for the
latter. The tests to be made this year al
Rhinecliff may be expected to answer this and
other questions of. practical Importance.
Moreover it is by no means certain that
farmers would be the cnly class TO profit by
the invention. Their requirements are small
in comparison with those Of men engaged in
some other industries 1t is not inconceivable
that if the development Of power from peat
should prove reasonably economical electric
transmission lines might be constructed to con
vey it to places fifty or a hundred miles from
the deposits 1t * doubtful whether power
thus generated would be cheap as power OBJ
tanned from waterfalls, and large peat gas
plants might not be able TO compete with large
hydraulic plants. If. however peat is obtain
ably in abundance where there is deficiency
of water power and coal is not easily procured.

4 Young CHAMPION.

Comparison has justly been made between
Jose X. Capablanca, the remarkable young Gu
ban chess prodigy who is just winning a signal
triumph over Frank J. Marshall and Paul Nor
ply, of New Orleans. generally conceded To be
the greatest genius that the game has known.
Although the famous Southerner did not die
until 1884, almost half century has elapsed
between the chess of his day and that Of the
present. for Morphy abandoned play in 1861
Considering the lapse Of time, a remarkably
small number have held the ,Sceptre he volun-
tariIy laid down, viz. Adolf ANDERSEN, William
Steinitz champion for twenty-eight years and
DIR. Emanuel LaSker the present incumbent and
title holder since 1891. Steinitz founded a new
school of chess play TO succeed the briIIiancy
and dash of MOrphy, of whom the veteran was
wont 10 speak none too graciOuSly. But SteinitZ
in his advancing years forced TO yield TO
Lasler. who had become his disciple while dis
carding at the same time the foibes for which
the old man was famous Since then Lasker's
reign has been undsputed and when challenged
he has easily held his own.
Now there comes along a youth of twenty
from the Antilles, who worships at the shrine
of LaSker. but is endowed with a spark of
MOrphys brilliancy. coupled, however, with the
deadly accuracy which is the fundamental requi-
site of the modern school and the keystone of
success nowadays Morphy today would not
be wholly the Morphy of a generation ago, be
cause even his genius would have yielded partly
to the uncompromising tenets of the new dis
pensaton. But the comparison between him aud
Capablanca is apt because of the early age at
which each took his place among the worlds
great players and because each came into his
own without the labOrious preparation which
usually marks the rise of the chess master on
the ladder of fame At sixteen Capablanca was
regarded the champion of Cuba although AT
q time when GomayG and VasqueZ were not
there TO dispute the title with him. But It was
an indication of what the lad had in store for
the world. Coming 10 America to attend Co
lumbia University he easily Outranked all the
intercollegiate players. This. however was not
regarded as training for his subsequent ordeal
His triumphant tour of the country last sprine
including visit TO the home of Paul AIorphy
was attended by such astonishing results that it
created a sensation and. after fashion pre
pared the community for the result of the match
with Marshall player of ten years experience
IN international chess, in the course of which
the latter gathered laurels Of which the cham
pion himself would have reason to be proud

has attained undisputed eminence with one

"FREE TRADE THROUG UGHOUT THE UNION.
There is probably. on the whole, no more sig

Commonwealth of South Africa, which has Just

spntatives of the various colonies than thaC
which relates to the tariff 1t may be briefly

free trade throughout the union. No colony VIII

That is an announcement in when, ho"eFeI'

"a ather for protection South Africa follows the
examples of the Australian Commonwealth and
Of the Canadian Dominion, as they in turn 1oi-

these are all protectionist countries. We may
he sure that South Africa will follow their eX>
ample in that respect also, and just as surely
as there is free trade throughout the union there
will be q protective tariff for the whole union
against all the rest of the world.
We say that this is significant, because II
shows how strongly and universally the protec-
