Tho other day, . few friends Of Cook
4 Sargent got up = kind Of private
meeting 1t Iowa City, at which they
entirely over-did the thing, and went
20 far - to become the laughing stock
Of oil the people in johnson county
As Q specimen Of their resolution we
append the following:
Resolved, That We will take Flor
cnce the same a. heretofore and that
We piH be greatly reoiced to see nor
oIit in circulation
After that, is q word Of comment
necessary! Really, Cook d Sargent
ought to have more discretion than to
out such nonsense in the mouths Of
their tools. Unless Florence be raised
to par, in less than sixmonths there
will not be q solvent merchant in Iowa
City.

FLORENCE MoNEY.-The people of Daven-
port are in q snarl over Florence money
The Gazette defends, and the Democrat de-
nounces it while the Neus, we believe,
stands neutral. We presume the war will
have . tendency to drive it out of %circula-
ton entirely, as it is true that neither a
house nor a den Of wildcats can stand il
turmoil exist therein. The people of this
locality are suffering in fact more than is
generally supposed, On account of the want
of a regular convertible currency. Messrs.
Cook d Sargent and Burrows 4 %Prettyman
owe it to themselves and their heretofore
excellent pecuniary reputation to take in
slant measures to redeem thir issues in funds
that will enable business men here to pay
their eastern liabilities. Their money has
been taken and tolerated to about the last
extremity.-Ro OK Island Advertiser.

STATISTICS OF THE Coal Trade
The Miners Journal furnishes US in des
tail the full statistics of the Pennsylva-
MIA Goa! trade, which is interesting
The amount of anthracite coal sent to
market on the seabord in 1857 was
6,43l,378 tons other kinds including
imported, l,1l4,145; making a total
of 7,545,523 tons, a decrease OF 3l6,-
1922 tons compared with the year pre-
vious. Including the supply bitumiu.
Gus coal in Western Pennsylvania and
further west, and Of Nerginia, the num-
Der oftons is about l0,5OO,OOO TONS
In 1920 the total amount of the coal
trade was only 365 tots; it has en-
larged since then till it comprends ten
millions and a. half tons annually
Large as this amount is, it is no COM
parison to the coal trade of Great Bri-
tain. From 1920 to the present time,
the whole product in this country has
been 77,536,544 tons, including a
small amount imported, but in the
United Kingdom, IN a single year
Os56) the product was 6~6,6l5,45O
tons. The Schuykill region, which
last year furnished more than one half
the aggregate amount Of anthracite
sent to market, this year falls 32O,l6S
tons below that proposition. There are
354 miles Of Railroad in Schuykill
county, all of which is in use for the
accommodation of the coal trade of
the country. The Mine Hill Railroad
was extended during the year about 10
miles, and this company has also made
5 J miles Of the Mount Eagle Railroad
10 1857.

RThe difference between a Re-
public and a Monarchy is thus pointed
out by somebody. Pile the people in
to a pyramid, with the President for an
apex, and you have a symbol Of Re-
public. You a shake the President
but you cant the people. Invert that
pyramid, with a king for its base and
you have = symbol Of a monarchy
Tip up that king and the whole struct-
ure falls into confusion"

DREADFUL OocuRRrsoE.-The local editor
of a st. Louis pader was recently presented
by his wife with u pair of items-boy and
girl whereupon one Of his brother locals,
fearful, perhaps. that such an occurrence
might happen to others Of the profession,
urges upon the legislature of Missouri now
in session, TO pass a law forthwith. provid-

prietor. or editor, to whom shall be born
twins, shall be entitled a bounty OF $500,
and in case of triplets. $3.50.
