The raising; of the Insurance rates on
merchandise In the central part of the
city because Bcranton Is not alert
enough to have a paid regular Are de
partment will doubtless cause Borne an

The Iisues of the Campaign,
With today the fall campaign of 1895
Will practically be brought to a close.
It has been an exceedingly quiet one,
entirely devoid of exciting features, and
characterised for the most part by an
appearance of apathy among the voters.
We trust that this appearance has been
somewhat deceptive, and that the re
turns on next Tuesday evening will ln
dlcate the polling of a larger proportion
of the Republican vote than Is expected
by the party leaders. The reasons why
every Republican in Lackawanna coun
ty should come out and vote on Tues
day have already been outlined In these
columns, but they may be here sum
marized as follows:
In the first place, the ticket, state and
county. Is a clean one, fairly nominated
and thoroughly representative of tho
best Ideals and aspirations of the party.
Dr. Samuel P. Longstreet, the 'candi
date for coroner, is a rising and repu
table young physician, standing high in
his profession and giving the promise
of efficient public service. Mr. Bartl,
the candidate for county surveyor, also
a young man, belongs to that large ele
ment in our citizenship which, although
of foreign nativity, early appreciated
the ' superior advantages of America
and has since its arrival among us de
veloped Into a loyal and trustworthy
factor la our civic life. He is honor
able,' capable, and ambitious, and his
election ' would give to the county a
new surveyor of Irreproachable quali
fications. Aside' from the two local
candidates,' there remains the superb
state ticket, including among itsnames
our ilstlngulshed neighbor and fellow
cittaen, Judge Willard, to whom Lacka
wanna county owes a specially note
worthy indorsement
Secondly, the vote to be cast on Tues
day Is In a sense preparatory to the
presidential contest next year, and in
this sense it will behoove every Repub
lican, every believer in a protective tar
iff and every admirer of capable and
American national administration, to
see that there Is no faltering in the Re
publican column. A largely diminished
Republican plurality next week would
mean diminished publlo confidence in
In 1896, and to this extent would cripple
and delay the present revival in' bus
iness, which is founded on the popular
belief that ' Democratic misrule will
soon come to an end,
Let every Republican remember this,
on Tuesday, .
The London Financial News Is ao
tickled over our new tariff that it

ciation. . Most foreign nations are,

The article by Miss Cucan E. Dick
Inson In this month's number of Cas
sier' Magazine describing the city of
Scranton and its advantages as a place
of business and residence is ono of the
clearest and most readable bits of de
scrlptlon recently written. It would be
a good idea for each resident of this city
to mall a copy of that article to a dis
tant friend. Such an act would do
much to spread Scranton's fame and
correct false Impressions.
The Burning of Culm.
In the current number of Cassler's
Magazine, John R. Wagner con
tributes a twenty-four, page Ulus
strated article upon the subject
of "Burning Anthracite Culm and
Other Low-grade Fuels for Steam
Raising." Several of the illustrations
and much of the accompanying text
relate to Scranton, which has been rec-
ognlzed by the writer as the natural
business center of the anthracite re
gion. The article Is for the most part
technical, being confined largely to a
description of the fuel properties of
clum, and to a comparison of the rcla
Uve merits and demerits of the various
grates which have been put on the
market specially for tho use of Indus
tries in search of cheaper power; but
even to the layman it will present
many points of novelty and Interest.
It is a noticeable circumstance that
Mr. Wagner does not commit himself
to any rash predictions concerning the
probable supremacy of culm-fed energy
over that fed, for example, toy the falls
of Niagara. This rather delicate phase
of his eubject he deftly avoids by
simply noting the fact that the Scran
ton Engineers' club has begun an ela
borate Inquiry which, when completed
and published, will "give to manu
facturers and the publlo fairly conclu
sive flu urea as to the cost per boiler
horse-power in the American anthra
cite regions." But if this part of his
paper ibe In a sense disappointing, a
similar charge cannot fairly be brought
against the pages in which he demon
strates the entire practicability of put
ting to successful utilization a major
portion of the mountains of waste
which today encumber the surface of
the earth In the four counties which
produce America's quota of hard coal.
The fact that culm can be burned
successfully for steam-raising pur
poses may be regarded as already
demonstrated. It now remains to show
the outside world that the cheapness of
such power is as marked a point in
'its favor as is Its efficiency, and the'
publication of the other articles in the
November Cassler's which bear direct
ly upon the staUstloal side of this ques
tion, amd which thoroughly prove
Scranton's cOalm to the possession of
the best and cheapest source of power
to be found In the United States, will
in all probability. do much to hasten
the 'Inevitable Influx of manufacturing
industries Into this valley.
The cordial welcome just accorded
at Indianapolis by General Harrison
and other Union veterans to General
Gordon, of Georgia, who was one of the
foremost nillltar- leaders of the Con
federacy, newly exhibits that spirit of
generous confraternity which is rapid
ly effacing the soars of the civil war..
There may, be, here and there, a few
hardshells who object to this .recon
ciliation; but to the great mass of peo
ple it comes as a welcome solution of
sectional prejudice and sectional strife.
Looking for a Candidate.
The frequent suggestion of a third
term for President Cleveland does not
come from choice but Is In reality born
of necessity, The national managers
of the Democratic party have been on
frequent hunts for an available man
to nominate for president next year,
and every hunt results In failure to
And any one even as available as
Grover Cleveland. They consider Hill,
and reach the conclusion that he could
not possibly carry New York, as Cleve
land' friends would never support
him. They turn to Carlisle and speed
ily see 'that with the record he has
made as secretary of the treasury his
nomination would be suicidal. They
take up Campbell, of .Ohio, and quick
ly lay him aside as a light weight.
Next 'they 'take a look at ex-Governor
Paulson," .of Pennsylvania, and turn
way from him with a negative con
clusion. Having made the entire round
the leaders turn finally to Grover Cleve
land and conclude that he still re
mains the more available man of the
lot. Then follows the announcement
that in their opinion there is a vast
amount of humbug In this cry against
third term, and some of them have
even argued that dnasmueh as Cleve
land is not serving a second term in
succession the third-term question does
not enter Into the problem at this time
that it is only proposed to give Mr.
Cleveland a second successive term..
As we have tald, the proposition to
nominate Air. Cleveland for the fourth
time Is not a matter of choice so mush
as of necessity If there were a really
available Democrat within sight Mr.
Cleveland ' Would not so much as ap
pear on the surface as a candidate for
next year's nomination. His name. Is
kept at the front because the party is
In distress for the want of available
presidential Umber. It A practically
reduced to one man and his name is
Grover Cleveland -

But, granting this, is electric Dower re

of using unreliable power when there is
Deiier 10 ue nao, anu tne irrowui oi elec
tric motor service shows that experience
has answered the question in the atllrma
tive. You frequently hear of people tuk
ing out steam engines and putting In elec
tric motors, but you seldom And them
throwing those motors out because thev
are unreliable, or for any other reason.
Now and then a motor mav be Indlsnosed
and laid up for a few days In the repair
shop, but, In general, motors do not go
lame, or cast a shoe, or have the b lnd-
n tanners, 0r the epizootic or anything of
the sort. They are not perfect, few ma
chines of human construction are, but
tney are perrect enougn to nave assumed
the responsibility of the rapid transit
work in nearly every American city, and
to have acquitted themselves well. If this
is not enough evidence that the electric
motor is trustworthy, we may cite some
of the newspapers that run their presses
by electric power and generally manage to
come out on time; and a couple of big
cotton mills, one at Columbia, 8. C, and
the other at Teller, in the snme state.
that have no power but electric to drive
their looms and spindles.
Tlut granted that the distribution of elec
trical energy from central stations hns
proved its advantages, how about trans-
mirung u long distances, so as to supply
large districts not from son; central
point, but from A distant soveeuf nower?
Of the mere fact of transmission and dis
tribution for motor service we have plenty
of evidence. For a couple of years there
has been a power plant supplyinic electri
cal energy to the city of Genoa, In Italy,
from a point eighteen miles distant. It
has done steady and excellent service,
supplying several scores of motors em
ployed In all sorts of Industries, and this
nlthouirh the methods are. from our pres
ent standpoint, somewhat crude. For an
equal length of time power has been regu
larly supplied lor tne driving or the elec
tric light machinery at Hartford, Conn.,
from a water-power eleven miles away;
for working tho machine shops of the
Oerllkon company, at Zurich, Bwltser-
land; for running the ore mills In Tellti
ri'le. Col., and fur operating an artlliclnl
ice factory and doing miscellaneous light
ing and power at Kedlands, Cal., at dis
tances only slightly less than the above.
In all these races the power has proved
to be steady and economical. For periods
I of time ranging from two years down to
a fow months, not less than fifty power
transmission plants have been working
regularly In different parts of the world,
ranging In magnitude from Niagara down
to fifty horse-power, and in distance from
the Folsom-Sacramcnto transmission,
having an extreme length of about twenty-five
miles down to a mile or two. All
these plants have been singularly free
frcm trouble, and have done their work
We,K -:l:-
Admitting that dlstanees up to twrnty or
twenty-five miles can be successfully over
come, Is there a reasonable probability
that the transmission of power can be ex
tended over distances much greater? Yes,
If necessary. We .have no plants over
twenty-tlve miles, but the' methods and
apparatus for longer transmission have
already been thoroughly tested, and up to
at least lifty miles we are- sure of our
ground, perhaps up to a hundred miles.
The transmitting and receiving machinery
would bo unite Identical whether the line
biMwcen them were twenty or fifty miles
loug, so that, as regards apparatus, the
ground Is well trodden. For very long
transrui.-'sions, high electrical pressure U
necessary ta keep down the cost of the
line, since the amount of copper required
to meet given conditions decreases with
the square of tho voltage. And we have
already experience with the voltage just
as with the apparatus, at least with volt
dees ample for a fifty-mile transmission.
For example, without counting tho famous
Lnuff en-Frankfort experimental plant,
with a line 103 miles long, and operated
cart of the time at a pressure of nearly
30.000 volts, there are now In commercial
service four plants, running steadily and
successfully at pressures of 10,000 volts
and- more. Chief among them Is the Oer
llkon installation in Switzerland, work
ing at over 14.000 volts; then come Fol-som-Sacramento,
and Guadalajara, In
Mexico, at 11,000 each; and finally the San
Antonio canon plant, at 10,000. The Aral
and last mentioned have been In operation
nearly three years without having en
countered any appreciable difficulty from
the very high pressure. The other two
have been operated some months without
a trace of trouble. From these experi
ences there Is tho best of reason to be
lieve that voltages up to fourteen or II f.
teen thousand are entirely justified by
present practice. 'While the feasibility of
covering far greater distances at much
greater voltage la mare or less a matter
of speculation, those . who know most
sbout the difficulties to be met fear them
the least .
But, .after all, docs this tort of thing
pay? This Is the real crucial question,
and the future of power transmission de
fend upon the answer. With most of the
transmissions mentioned. In fact nearly
or oulte all of thoso which have been run
ning long enougn to draw any conclusion's,
experience has said "Yen" In unmistak
able tones. So far as has yet appeared,
any lack of commercial success has been
due to other causes than the cost of elec
trical transmission. The first thing to bo
dono In studying the problem of the
transmission of power from cheap coal at
the mines Is to get at some Common basis
of comparison . between carrying ' the
energy In bulk and sending It over a wire.
Knowing that a large centra' station ean
distribute power economically nan It the
more cheaply generate It by. coal burned
cn tho srot, or Sy pa I? transmitted from
a region of cheaper coal? What is truo in
this c2so will ba also true of largo units
ot power devoted to other purposes. -
We con get our common cr.It In tho fol
lowing way: A good engine, of compound
condensing pattern. Is capable of produc
ing one cud one-third horae-power-hours,
u e., one kilowatt-hour, by tne consump
tion ot about two pounds of good coal,
v. aether the coal or the current be trans
mi. tod, the engine will be used. so. that,
for a rough approximation to the econo
mics of the matter, we need only com
pare the cost of tho eiectrio transmission
per l.uuo kilowatt-hours v.Uh the expense
of freighting and handling one Ion of
coal. The cost of the transmission means
here simply the interest, care and de
preciation on tho electrical part of the
total plant. TMs we can very readily
approximate. The cost of line apparatus
for a flfty-mllo U0O volt transmission in
larse amount may be reckoned at some
thing like 1JW per kilowatt transmitted.
Taking interest, labor and maintenance at
20 per cent, and assuming 3.W0 working
hours per year tho charge for transmis
sion becomes over 0.6 cent per kilowutt
hour. This evidently corresponds to a
prohibitive ami absurd freight rate for
tho t;!stanc3. Even if by Increasing the
magnitude, of tho transmission and rais
ing tho voltago we were able to reduce this
by one-half, we should still have a cost of
transmission far greater than the cost of
transporting the necessary coal, in the
present condition of affairs It Is then
quite evident thst v,lth good coal, trans
portation can mere than hold its own
against el?ctrle transmission. Even with
coal only half cs rood as that which wo
have assumed, tho same condition holds
good.
But thorn Is another slda to tho nue.itlon.
In nil mining tlicro is producsd a varying,
but considerable, proportion of coal which
is unfit for transportation r.nil sale, and
now simply encumbers tho earth. It is
this cosl to which wo must look for energy
which can prolltnbly be transmitted. The
competition is not here between freight
age and electrical transmission, but be
tween power produced from coal costlnir,
perhaps, 3 or it per ton, and coal costing
a few cents per ton. Tho latter may ba
poor, Indeed, but. still. It U cheap fuel.
If It can be utilized to generate power
twenty-four hours a day, tho chr.rge for
transmission, plus ,the cost of fuel, may
sink so low os to fall below tho fuel co.st
at some outside point under consideration.
For Instance, tho choree of O.G cent nor
kilowatt-hour previously computed, may
readiry sink to 0.1 cent nt a moro moder
ate distance, and to lea thnn half that for
twcnty-fo;!r-hour service, even including
euim ror fuel. At this com it would come

duced on tho spot, even with fairly chenp
coni nnu very pood ertrmes. A plant de
ltternte:y inrtn !ecl to burn culm, on a very
larjro rea!Ianrin!T'n!n;i twenty-four hours
a dny with a fMr load, can probably .be
made to put electrical cncrjry on the line
nt or very near 0.3 cent per kilowatt-hour.
Taltln7 Into account the con of n moder
ately long trnnsrplsslon, as noted abovo.
It seemi prohtib'c that. Includlnir the
losres or ctllelenry in transmission, one
mecrnlcnl horeo-power-hour could be de
livered nnywnere within, ray a radius of
tworty mllei, tit an actual cost of one-half
to two-tntrds of a c?nt. And the horse.

cidedly loss thnn It now costs the average

state of the enso Is thr-t on a large scale
