THE COAL COMBINATION-THE FACTS
IN THE CASE
From the N. Y. Herald.

From the ~ Y. Herald.
The excitement about the price of coal is
naturally very great in the city. The ques-
tion as to whether we shall have coal famine
in midwinter in this vast metropolis is very
serious one. At no previous time within our
memory did coal command such an exorbitant
price as it has reached now. Once, we be-
lieve, it touched the alarming maximum of
seventeen dollars ton, and held that price
for few days only. On two or three seasons
later the price went up to fourteen dollars
and stood firm for q considerable time at that
figure. AOf course, it was then regarded as an
extortion to which people had of necessity to
submit. To-day, without any apparent
honest cause, the price of coal has gone up
to nearly twenty dollars ton. We presume
that every one understands where this
infamous extortion comes from. 1t is the
creation of a wicked combination between
the railroads and the wholesale coal dealers,
which should be crushed at once by Congress
sional legislation. We suggested the reme-
dies in our columns on Thursday, and we rel
terate them now. The immediate removal
of the duty on foreign coal, as present
remedy, and, for a permanent cure of this
grievous evil, the enactment of such laws
by Congress as will place the management
of the railroads under the control of the
Government. We perceive that our
suggestion with regard to the abolition Of
duties on coal imported from the British pro-
vinces received immediate attention in Con-
gress yesterday by the introduction of reso-
luton to that effect. We hope it will not be
disregarded. The speediest way to crush
these Pennsylvania monopolies is to indulge
in little free trade practice on this question
of foreign coal. They will get so frightened
lest the free trade notion may spread that
they may be coerced into relinquishing their
present despotic courses.
The trouble in the coal regions is very
simple. When the war broke out the coal
mine owners had not been prosperous. The
business of coal mining had been constantly
overdone. With the war came a general ad-
vance In prices, an enormous increase in the
consumption of coal, both for shipping, iron
smelling, and general manufacturing pur-
poses, and naturally corresponding advance
in the price of coal. The mine owners thought
their harvest time had come, and rapidly put
up prices, but resisted all advance in the
wages of men the until compelled by repeated
strikes. Although each strike was made an
excuse for fresh increase in the price, and
thus in reality benefited the mine owners,
they yet cannot pardon the men f1r having,
as they say, dictated terms to them. They
claim that the men should be satisfied with
such wages as they, the employers, think
fair and they have for years past been tryins

Mr.. James Brooks, editor of the New
York Express, writes thus from Pekin:
There is an English church on the English
Legation grounds, near by, where we were
invited to go; and there are several Pro-
testant missionaries in Pekin-but the
Roman Catholics had such large.establish-
ments here, and their history for three CEN
liant, that resolved to see them worship
on the Sabbath day. The distance was
nearly three miles and the service began at
A. NJ, and q ft-out to go anywhere IN
roadless Pekn is so serious q matter-.to
rally the coolies for the chairs, the ponies,
etc.,-that no wonder, tho service was
nearly over when we got there. The
French priests, however, most graciously
received us and welcomed with warm
hearts European faces from SO distant a re-
gion as America, and the Sisters of Charity
came out in full numbers, and showed US
all parts of their great establishment.
The Chinese children, some two hundred
and fifty in number, call Christians now
were drawn up for US to see. Their nice
embroideries as well as their spinning and
weaving were shown US. These good Sis
tiers seemed to be happy in their isolation
and their Christian mission-happy in the
seed they were sowing and the harvest
they were reaping and earnest for the pro-
pagation of the faith throughout all China
The priests wore their hair as the Chinese
do and but for their priestly robes would
be taken for Chinese. The Sisters pre-
serve their home Catholic costumes. The
Cathedral itself is n wonderful building
for such O distance from civilization. The
organ in 1t cost some $4,000 here. Many
Chinese worshipers We're about and the
spacious grounds seemed to be teeming
Chinese people, some Of whom were
Sisters of Charity too.

Some thirty years ago the English news
papers used to be full Of the mad doings of
q man named Edward Jones, who, at that
time, fell in love with Queen Victoria, and
used to enter forcibly the royal residences
-sometimes going down the chimneys-
that he might gaze upon the royal counte-
nance. A week or two ago he died in
wretched London howell. To get rid of the
amorous intruder he was shipped of to
Australia, from which land he returned
about Ave years since, with the tender
passion still burning in his bosom. albeit

somebody. who probably did not know his
feelings, that Her Majesty was hopelessly
ill, Edward Jones took to his bed and
speedily expired. This is one of the most
singular cases of mon omania on record.

History Of Louis Philippe. By Abbot.

Mary Queen of Scots. BY J. f. Meline. New
York Catholic Publication Society.
Every lover of the picturesque and romantic
in history always pauses upon the life OF this
heroine upon most touching drama. She
has ever been favorite with the reading
public, even among her religious opponents,
and the recent effort of the historian Froude
to malign her memory is not favorobly received
by the majority. Tho present work is writ
ten partly as a -eritique on that performance.
1t has, however, great positive merit as his
tory: 1t is as interesting as novela and treats
of many subjects connected with the rise OF
Professionalism, which ought to be understood
by everybody.
