The successful voyage of the Steamer Murex, from Singapore to Cape Town, and thence to England, occupying about sixty days, s per the report in the Oil, Paint and Drag Reporter, proves the value of oil as steamer fuel, the Morex using oil during this voyage. On this trip, the consumption of oil was heavier than ordinary, duo to heavy weather, the amount ranging from 17 to 18 tons per day. If coal had been used, the consump tion would have ranged from 25 to 32 tons per day, and the saving in price between the two would be considera ble. But the economy in the price of fuol, between coal and oil, Is but a small part in favor of oil, for in the saving of cargo room and labor Is to be found the great economies. In the case of the above mentioned steamer, the crude petroleum was stored in the forepeak, in the double bottom of the steamer, and in other; places which could not very well be utilized for coal. The whole central area of the ship, in closed fore and .aft by copper-protecting dams, Is available for grain or other freight In bulk, or for mixed cargo, thus increasing the carrying capacity of the vessel much beyond the actual tonnage required for fuel. Instead of requiring twenty-four stokers to handle the coal out of the bunkers as formerly (the Murex being altered from a coal burner) only three stokers were required, this in itself being no Inconsiderable saving. Just what the entire saving to the steamer was. Is not stated, but that a very Important saving was made there can be no doubt, and as a practical test in the employment of oil for fuel, the economy and utility is proven beyond question. In Industrial establishments, oil as fuel has long passed the experimental stage, and once storage depots can be established for oil, so that steamers can get a fresh supply, oil will no doubt be come a regular fuel for many steamship lines. BRYAN FEARS A RIVAL The recent editorial from the pen of William Jennings Bryan, in bis news paper, the Commoner, wherein he criti cises the speech of David Bennett Hill delivered before the Manhattan Club, of Mew York, on February 22nd, shows plainly that Mr. Bryan fears a rival In the exclusive Presidency V monopoly, which he has had for nearly ten years. That there are well founded ground for this fear on the part of Mr, Bryan, every well Informed person knows, for even In Mississippi, lately, the Demo crats nearly carried resolution Into effect, which had for its purpose the po litlcal affiliation of the Soujh with the East, in b political union, leaving the West to Populism and Republicanism to fight (t out for supremacy. But in David B, Hill, Mr. Bryan recog nlzes a political candidate formidable ill every way, hence bis attack. , ' In this editorial criticism throughout, Mr. Hill's sin is his refusal to come out plainly for Mr. Bryan's 16 to 1 money plank. - " ' Mr. Hill according to Mr. Bryan Is an "artful dodger" as regards his money platform, there being no declaration ex cept for "hard money," which might mean "gold, silver, nickel or copper," - and In this dodging Mr., Hill is alleged to be trying to get even with the Popu lists, who supported Mr. Bryan, In what be calls the. "Democratic hour of need." Throughout this editorial there can be seen the fear of a man, who sees bis po litical prestige on the wane, and who teoks to revive a following by calling at tention to the political Inconsistencies of a probable rival, la order that his own failures may not appear too glar- : ': V'!

In calling repeated attention to tax- ! payer to pay what they owe, and at once, the urgency la this matter con cern not merely the saving In expense to the taxpayer, In the matter of cos la, which accrue and fall upon delinquent, bnt also prompt lax paying I necessary, in order that votes may be cast la this year's State election. The election law now require that every voter, before be can or I entitled to vote must have paid hi poll tax. This applies to every year' vote, and the limit to the time of the tax receipt la May lit, of each year. To be a voter, under the law aa It I at present, every man must bo prepared to show his tax receipt for his poll tax. The law requires this, and no excuse can be given, nor can the voter acquire the right of voting, unless his poll lax receipt can be shown, properly signed by sheriff or tax collector. May 1st, Is the last limit of time. No poll tax receipt, no vote. Not only Is ft necessary to pay thin tax, but it will be best to have receipt con veniently at hand to show at the polls.
