It is not his good faith, ' out the Government's, that is in ques tion now. The Journal has no concern for the packers, except as they are- citizens of Chicago. If it can be proved that they are guilty of engaging in a conspiracy in restraint of-trade, they.ought to be punished. But their -guilt, if they are guilty, must be fairly proved. They must be given a square deal.

The re sultant gas is a combination of carbon monoxide, hydrogen and nitrogen. Utilizing the fuel in this manner is claimed to effect a very appreciable economy as compared with burning it under a boiler to generate steam. In deed it has been estimated that one pound of fuel will thus go as far as three pounds in the latter .method. This on a long voyage not only means the reduction of the coal bill, but also a corresponding .increase in cargo spare or passenger accommodation.
