TUB SUGAR BOUNTY.
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

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

There is certainly nothing in the consti
tution Which Hie pretends to be so solic

assuming itihe right to Invalid ite an net

for Wire relief of rhe sugar producer be

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. Hie much discussed act of 1873
revising and amending i-jhe coinage liws,
the K'and act of 178, t'.ie S.urman iai ot

OIL SUFHRSEUM33 COAL AS FUEL.
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.
