should be built. it would furnish
another example of needless duplis
cation by the government of prOduc-
tion now being carried on by private
enterprises in a better and more eff
cient manner than would be possible
under federal management.
The hy-product coke industry Of
the country. now undergoing such
rapid development is producing
sulphate of ammonia at the estimated
rate Of 100000 tons annually, and
with the works now under construc-
tion this will he increased to 100000
tons. Hence this essential raw ma
terial for nitric acid production is
available for the governments pur-
poses in an amount that will more
than meet any possible requirements
The upbuilding Of the by-product coke
industry IS Of great importance to
the cultivation of varied lines Of
manufacture in this country. on ac-
count of the great value Of the by
products which are wasted by the
beehive process of manufacturing
coke and recovered by the by-prodqct
process. and on account Of the tre-
mendOus military value of some of
the by-products i'm the manufacture
of high explosives.
There are the strongest reasons for
the government aiding the by-product

passed specifically provides that the
plant or plants provided for under

rrom the New YOrfi Sun.

From the New Yorh Sun.
In the overshadowing interest Of
other matters. how many observers
have measured the far reaching sig
nifcance of a plank in the Republican
platform which transcends in its pur-
port of radical metamorphosis any
thing contained in the entire Progress

We refer to this resolution with
regard to transportation adopted by
the Republican convention:
Interstate and intrastate trans
portation have become so interwoven
that the attempt to apply two, and
often several, sets OF laws to its re-
gulation has produced conflicts OF
authority, embarrassment in opera
tion and inconvenience and expense to
the public. The entire transporta-
tom system OF the country has be-
come essentially national. We there

Everybody knows that mere statu-
