The fact U well known that the MC' Klnley tariff law gave a bounty of 2 cents per pound to the producers of sugar, for the purpose of encouraglrg and reward' lng experiments l.i that relation. Tills bounty was provided for a strles of years, ana was In effect a solemn pledge or contract upon which the producers had a rlgKt o rely. Aceordtn J -, large invest menlta were made in the sugar business in several of fine elates, and the Assist ance thus derived from the government proved 'to be practically all of the profit that was realized in Me case. When the Democrats secured control of affaire, they repeated the sugar bounty, or, In other words, repudiated tihe contract with line sugar planters. But as an act of par tial Justice and In the 'way of relief fur Immed.aite enibarra.amenlt, congress ap propriated $5,000,000 as a bounty on the growing crop. It was concei d ha., wihuuteveir might be thought of tine bounty pJl.cy, as a matter of principle 'the pro ducers were clearly on jRled 'to sum,.- con sldoratlon, in v.ew of rhe sudden wlih- druwal of the favor ii.idi.-r which they had engag.d In the business and upo.i which 'tl.ey were depeiullng for .,uees. The approprlait.on was voted for by many members of oongrtss who were op posed to ''.'he givLng of bounties, and pub 11c eorttl'inen't Indorsed tt on the ground of simple equity and common fairness. It low seems that the comptrolUr of fhe tru:'iry has taken it upo.i himself to deckle that Congress hud no right to make such an appruprlaition, and that he cannot ajloiw 'the roomy to.be paid over to the sugar producers who have (lied the proper claims tor It. He consents, how ever, to hair arguments vpon (the ques tion, and thus there '? presented the exitmaordiinary sipecltaele vf a ubordliiu.t treasury official, w'h'ose tfunci.lons are purely ministerial, sitting in judgment on tihe constitutionality of a law, anil re filling in carry out its prov.slons be. cause lit dots not mcit his approval From whence be gelts big authority for 'this sort of thing, it Is impossible to e.iy The geneml understanding has always been iMcolt tihe euprime court alone Is doiuhedi with the powr to determine conelaiitutionat Issues; but Comptroller Bowler evidently believes himself to b new ibranch of the guvertnmenlt, superior to ail t'he others, and free 'to do ns he pleolsci In 'the performance of his duties. There is certainly nothing in the consti tution Which Hie pretends to be so solic itous to mailnllaln thult Justifies him in assuming itihe right to Invalid ite an net of oongtresi. The money appropriated for Wire relief of rhe sugar producer be longs to liliem as nduch'ns his salury be long t) him, and In refusing to lot them 'have lit, the Is guilty of u gross wrong, for wHiIVh he should be promptly re moved. MONETARY LWaOTlJATrON IN A NUT- sirioijL. It lit Vary ewlkaVm, Indeed, It hut so useful a coinii.laai'O'n as tha't wade by ithe sound currency committee of the Reform rtub In i'ts paiMphlet No. 17, issued on August 1, finds place in u serii IrisiKd1 prepared for propagandising puiipoitj. This pamph iet coivuiJiu a repitivt of the legislation of Hlw United Stages relative to coin age, currency und lUuiklng from liiit year 1792 to tihe present. The pamphlet ts a Wmall one, consisting of only forty-eight pages, but it contuins pracJAcailly all the important legislation of congirel-! touch lng the currtmoy during 'the century and more sines the enawmen't of the law ' mtafblUlhlng the mint In 1792. The uairfuines of this valuable little compendium is increased by the Insertion of notes anil references, by the addition of a brief bu't serviceable Index, and by the Inclusion of an appendix giving a table of the gold fend silver coins minted under tha several lows authorising the coinage) brtef account of the regula tions respecting weight and finentss. and the aanoun of eueh coined. It is no ex ggerv.ion to speak of this small pamph let as one of the roost vluaible contrl ibutlons to the literature of the monetary debat wttfeto lias been In yrogress for soma time. Though h to susceptible of use for , controversial purposes, the pamphlet :aCI (s not pWetniral In char acter. It Is Simply a manual of legisla tion, but U is so compact and so con venieslt, nd WIN prove so helpful to real students of 'the currency question that it deservts something nvore 'Uhin a pcr fuootory mention. A glance at the contents of one portion of the povmlpttet, What reia'tlng to the coin age tows, will, perhaps, best s.rve to In- dlcate the usefulness of the compilation. Beginning with, the act of Apr.l 2, 17V2, estaKlshlng the mint, it gives the act of 1793, in rtiference to foreign coins, the act of 1831 reducing the weight of gotd Coins, that of 1837 revising the coinage laws, that of 1853 reducing the weight-of sub sidiary nllver coins, thlalc of 1857 repealing the tegul tender provisions relative to for eign coins.

San Fninclsco Call. The announcement thit th Southera aclftc propJobes to gra'luViily substitute peUroleum. Cir coal on their locomotivjs prefigures an IndtLsi.rlat revolution In this Uite. Over a quarter of a Century ago the availability of (1 119 a substitute for c-oal was recognised by engineers, but for var'omi reasons, chleif among wiiKeh wui the diitllcuity W reguiatlng the gerneratl'on of caloric from burning 11, It never pisted Into general us.. Four or five years ugo one of the bollrs on a. ftteani Perry bUit plying .to O.ikla.id as a'l tered so that oil could be burned inwtead of coal, and for seveiuu days anil was g.JKirattJ by the new ful. but at tihe end of a week or a fortnight It 'was found 'UkU fliU beat developed was so fierce that the Woiler was nearly buried tli.vnu'h, and tihe experiment wu abin- dowed for fear of an lavxldenlt. Since then now contrivances have been invented to make an oil Are less dangerous, and a umber of todMiAntlves in Sjuthcrn Cali fornia luwi been equipped with boilers r burning etroleum. Their perform- nce bus been so atnactory tnat MesLsrs. lIuiii;lngnon and Crvcker are satd lu have decided lo convert all thteir lowntotives into oi burners. The saving to the company will be pro digious. In the yar 1894 ins Southern Pacific spent, on ins twl divisions, 11.303,- 15 for f uW. the coal costing ton the aver age $1.63 per tun, and the .wood 139 per cord. St is Mlmated th'at throe ixirr-li of oil, twjtang at pretent 40 cents a bar- rel, will d!o the wcrk of a ton of coal, so that .wh'en a'i the UxromOtlves are equlnp-d to bum oil the total cost of fuel to the company will be only $360,155, and the saving will am'ounlt yearly to r three millions amd a half, which will en- aKe the corporation to moke important reductions in its frlghit charges without loss to blsif.t. But the raiilruad is mot the only con sumer of coal for fuel. Every tnanu factum1 gets his power from coal burn ing engines, and mill continue to do eo until the p'.ana for the icimployimont of eleeiirjcal energy derived from water power are perfected. In every city and town stationary engines are employed by the hundred and all burn coal. Their owners will now 'turn their attention to converting them into oil burners so as to fave two-thirds of the present outlay for fuel. This will cheapen oiranufactur. lng of ail kind's and wlll enable some manuCaJOturicTS to lb undertaken which are mow held In abeyance in consequence of the expense. One roiodLTn Irniprovtment w hich iwiK be espedotly benefited is elec tric noadis. Thcse iworks at present get their elido'.rloal power by burning coal If they can obtain 'the same volume ot electrldliiy by a saving of 6G per cent by burning oil U is evident ithait the roadB may inoreasj their mileage and run at low rate3. Of course an essential question in the oli fuel pnobkim Is 'the reliability of the oil supp'.y. There has been of lae years a 'marked rekluotion In the flow of oil In Pennsylvania, Ohio and Canada, a re. ductl'on so great that it has been said that the sufbterr inean reservoirs were beconv lng exhausted. No ouch indications have been observed In (the Caspian oil fields or fa the wel'Is In Burmah and Slam; hence tt Was been suggested that the diminished yield in the eastern oCl fields on 'this continent may be exceptional. Colonel, Crocker is said to be fattened that tihe supply lof oil from tihe new fields near Los AingtOes wltil prove practically inexhausttlbt';, a.d ihe would not have come to that conclusion without good grounds. We are entirely wi.hiout scien tific data (to guide us in estimating the probaibie extent of the underground reser voirs, so that an opinion as to tholr duration must be mors r less conjec tural. The matter 'is not vital, because tlher c in hardly be a doubt .that ithe eouthern oil wetls will last out our time. After us, the d'.uge; or, in o'jher words, slectriclty rencratid by water power.
