Many who favor this form of obtaining1 tribute from the people, feared that the placing on the free list such a necessary article as coal, should any relief be felt therefrom, might prove an entering wedge for other household necessities. In this case, however, the public carriers increased transportation rates to a sum more than sufficient to cover the amount of the tariff. Whether a like reduction will now be made so as to prevent a further increase in the cost of coal remains to be seen. It does appear, however, that one of the most serious problems that confront the Not that the people is the one of fuel. in of coal is danger of being exquantity hausted, but from the fact that the cost of this necessity is becoming more and more an absolute burden to the ordinary citizen. While it affects those of means equally yet is of not so serious nature, as they do not Need the money so badly. Having no sympathy with the pessimist, and seeing no chance of relief from the Socialistic movement, an unprejudiced citizen must confess that the only hope of relief along this line lies in state or national ownership of the coal fields, as demanded by the Socialists, Populists, and many prominent Democrats and Republicans. As loth as the people should be and are to have the state interfere in matters of private nature for in such lies the strength of the nation yet, when a condition such as now presents itself pertains to the fuel question, it is then that the words of the almost divine Declaration of Independence, which was heralded from Fanuiel Hall 12S years ago, that Governments are created among men for the protection of the weak from the encroachments of the strong, come back to us and in these and these only can we find any hope of relief. It is supposed, however, that the readers of this paper have had this matter presented to them many times before and much more clearly, and in all probability have given us much serious thought to this form of appropriating wealth without rendering an equivalent ; but an idea the writer has never heard expressed in as emphatic manner as he would like to hear is this : Why should a ton of coal, which originally cost no man one cent and which is extracted from its native bed at a cost of not more than 75 cents per ton and said ton far exceeding 2,000 pounds in weight consume itself, or rather add to its value many times the miners wage for taking it from the ground, before reaching the consumers coal scuttle ? While attaching very little consequence as to the effect of a tariff or no tariff on the price of coal, yet the reinstatement of the tariff on this necessity by the national administration surely did not come from any demand of the people. If, as claimed by his admirers, our strenuous president has at all times his finger on the public pule, he did not have the discernment of the patriarch of old who made the discovery that while it was the hand of Esau, the voice was that of , Jacob.

A farmer drove into Iola.Kan., some time ago, found all of the hitching racks in town full, and so tied his horse to an empty box car standing on a side track in an alley. A few minutes later a switch engine coupled on to the car and started up the alley. The hitch-stra- p in this instance was a rope, and it was tied around the animals neck. The horse did fairly well until he encountered a telephone pole. The buggy was demolished there. The engine kept on going, so did the horse, until another telephone was reached. Then the horse tried to go on one side and the engine and car on the other. The animals neck was Now the farmer wants damages broken. from the railroad company. . of Neveda, in his discussion of the Panama incident last week in the senate, alleged that, in preventing Colombia from landing troops on her own territory to put down an alleged insurrection there President Roosevelt not only nominally and technically but actually waged war on that republic and therein violated international law, the comity of nations, the treaty with Colombia (of 1846) and the Constitution of the United States.

A good many members of both parties deny that the merit system has any real merit, and insist that the victorious party, bearing the responsibility, ought to have the offices. I suppose this opinion is held by a majority of members of both houses, but they think the people believe in it and when it comes to a roll-cal- l, they are afraid to abolish it.
