THE Coal CoYsPIRAcY.-t is gratifying to
observe that there is a check put upon the
coal conspirators to the extent that the price
has not advanced to the extortionate figure
anticipated few days ago. This is entirely
owing to the influence Of the newspapers-the
HERALD epecially. The fire opened in our
columns upon the concoctors of this fraud was
followed up by other journals, so that the
conspirators were frightened and brought to a
sense Of the fact that the American people
cannot be oppressed by monopoles without a
friend to stand up for their rights, and that
friend is the Independent press. Whether the
present state of affairs shall reach the extreme
point of coal famine or not, the duty Of Con-
gress is equally clear. The import duty on
foreign coal must be removed without delay.
And they must 60 further They must put
the railroads and telegraphs under control OF
the government. We have urged this course
of action before, and we shall continue to
press it upon Congress until the end is
ACCOMPLISHED.

tive description in Revelations. At tho
Tabernacle Brother Beecher took up con-
tribution for home missions, and then spoke
words Of hope and comfort to the sinner. In
Williamsburg Mormon brother was formally
accommodated. Our reports from Washing
ton show that DR.. Newman discoursed on the
conversion of Paul, that Rev. Mr.. Mitchell
explained the proper mode of serving God, and
that Rev. Mr.. Mckee interpreted the visions
of Ezekiel.
We must not conclude this article without
referring to the dedication of the Catholic
church Of st. Mary and to an eloquent address
delivered by Archbishop McCloskey on the
occasion. In all the Catholic churches the
services were rendered unusually impressive
by the deliverance of solemn prayer for the
protection of the Holy Father In his bondage
Whatever may be public opinion on the ques-
tion of the Pope's present tribulation, all per-
sons will admit that the prayer was touching
evidence of the devotion of Catholics to the
visible Head of the Church.

AID FOR FRANoE.-It has been stated that
the first vessel with food contributed by
Americans for the starving people Of France
was despatched from Boston. This is mis-
take. Our enterprising townsman, Mr.. A. I.
Stewart, has, at his own expense, fitted out
and loaded with four thousand barrels of the
best -four that could be procured in this mar
ket the bark Hunter, and despatched her for
Havre on Saturday last. This supply Of bread
stufs is not intended for Paris, but for Tours,
Mulhouse and other manufacturing cities and
towns Of France where the inhabitants are
suffering equally with those of Paris. Mr..
Stewart has instructed his agent in Havre that
If the French railway companies do not forward
this cargo free of freight he is to forward it to
destination and pay all charges thereon until
ready to deliver into the hands of those for
whom it is intended.

THE DOMINION PARLIAMENT AND THE JOINT
HIGH COMMISSION debate in the Do
minion Parliament on Friday night relative to
the powers of the Joint High Commission was
in tone and temper, as well as in its result,
credtable to the Canadian people. Sir A. T..
Galt, after the manly speech Of Sir John A.
Macdonald, very wisely withdrew his resolu-
tions-resolutiens unnecessarily distrustful of
the mother country and unnecessarily fearful
Of the United States. Through the labors OF
the Joint High Commission Sir John A. Mac
donald looks forward to long era of peace
and prosperity. We shall not be sorry if Sil
Johns expectations are fulfilled On this Con-
tnent there is room enough for both peoples,
aud scope enough for our joint energies.

Yesterday was the first Sunday in Lent
The disagreeability Of the weather kept many
persons from visiting the churches, but we
are comforted by the thought that it was con-
ducive of much indoor reflection upon the
many sins which have been committed during
the past year. Even On those who do not
hold it part of their religion to observe it
the penitential season must have some effect.
1t may not be convenient in this busy world
of ours to be everlastingly thinking of
futurity; but there ought to be periods
when we shall scan the record of
our lives for the purpose of ascertaining
how many things are inscribed thereon which
tell of sin and remind us of punishment. If
the coal monopolists, for example, observed
the lenten season-we doubt if they do-what
tormenting reflections would arise in their
minds and how quickly they would get rid of
them and give joy to the poor by giving US
coal at moderate price! 'The Lord is my
shepherd shall not want" says the psalm,
and yesterday DR.. Chaplin took this for the
text of his sermon. He showed that man is
monopolists who endeavored to step between
God and the qualification of these wants, evil
IDENTIFY referring to the men who have sent up
the price Of coal to fourteen dollars per ton.
Apropos of the season was Mr.. Hepworth's
discourse on reformation, repentance and
eternal punishment. The reverend gentleman
inclined to the opinion that there will be sal
vation for all finally, but he thought that the
redemption of the sinner in the next world
will require ''hard work" on his part Rev.
Mr.. Foote dwelt upon the necessity of every
Christian bearing his cross, while Father
Brophy preached eloqueutly upon the import
ance of doing penance as a means of obtaining
forgiveness for sins and as fortifcation
against the snares of Satan. DR.. Ewer's
small congregation listened to an admirable
sermon on the obligations under which men
labor to aid each other, the speaker referring
regretfully to the spread of scepticism in this
country. At ''the little church around the
corner" an English clergyman officiated. The
subject of his discourse was ''the personality
of Satan, the existence of whom he demon
ptIdscu Wy sHc tcIupLdtiOH VI OuTlSt III tuo VIII
derness. Satan, he said, is not an eternal
being, but he is creature of vast power, ever
endeavoring to shut out the divine light from
US. DR.. Hall engaged in eloquent speculations
on the excuses man will give at the bar of
heaven, but the subject is one as impossible Of
any satisfactory surmise as is anything Of the
future existence. What excuses will man
give? Aye, what! DR.. Armitage spoke ear
nestly on the means whereby man can renew
his spiritual strength.
In Brooklyn DR.. Talmage discoursed on
the joys of the future world. He took the
orthodox view of the subject, including the
robes of white, the palms and the songs of
salvat ton. There is undoubtedly something
sublimey beautiful in this picture Of all the
peoples who dwelt on earth before the throne
of God ; but what seems to us an error is to
take literally what is probably only fgura-

PRAYERS FOR THE PoPE.-Yesterday in the
Catholic churches prayers were delivered for
the Holy Father Plus the Ninth. The troubles
which have gathered around the Chair of st.
Peter in these late years, and in the old age Of
Its present occupant, are numerous and
weighty. 1t is not too much to say that the
Holy Father is an object of sympathy, not to
the members of the Catholic Church alone,
but to all rght-thinking, generous minds
throughout Christendom The efectual
fervent prayers Of the righteous avail
much. So says the Holy Book. Let
us hope and pray that in this instance the
prayers Of the churches will be all-availing,
SO that the Holy Father may see the end OF all
his present troubles. and live and die in peace
aud honor.

Senatorship from Georgia. He was elected at

Tho Joint Hlgh Commission-Apprc
Of Its Failure.

0E lto E01lur0s
The members Of the Alabama Claims Com
mission are to be formally introduced 70
each other to-day, and until the arrival of the
remaining British negotiators will discuss
informally the various sights and scenes to be
witnessed In the City of Magnificent Distances.
The first formal meeting, it is said, will
take place on the 9th of March, and In
the meantime Secretary Fish is preparing
various important State papers relating to the
great subjects to be considered, and the other
American members of the Commission are
studying the fishery, Alabama claims and
boundary questions with an avidity and
earnestness equal only to the avidity and
earnestness with which Mr.. Washburne studied
French when he was appointed Minister to
France.
An uneasy feeling of the foreordained
failure Of the Commission is growing upon the
prominent public men in Washington. There
seems to be general sentiment that the two
countries have gone into business which
neither understand, and that neither of them
knows what 1t wants. The fishery ques-
tion is apparently all cut and dried,
England being willing to make Canada
grant all that we want; but
about other matters-the Alabama claims,
the claims of British citizens against this
country and the abstract rights of Great
Britain to ft out the Confederate privateer-
there is misty befuddlement that leaves the
public mind uneasy and apprehensive. The
announcement of Lord Granville, that the
present Commission was empowered only to
talk over matters aud not to make final aud
decisive settlement, has inclined people to
the belief somewhat that the Commission
is not the august affair it started out
to be, and that they have been in q
measure humbugged. Altogether, the outlook
from Washington standpoint, according to
our Washington correspondent, is rather ap-
prehcnsive than rose-colored.
We cannot join in these sentiments very
heartily. The Joint Commission, in its person.
mel, is pretentious enough to insure the vesting
in it of almost unlimited powers for q settle
ment OF the questions now in dispute
between us and Great Britain. The Com
missioners on our side will be in daily
contact with the administration, Congress and
the people, and, even if they have not the
necessary powers, can be invested with them
at a moments notice, and they can daily feel
the public pulse in case questions .of unfore-
seen significance should arise. On the other
side, the Atlantic cable connects the British
Commissioners directly with Downing street,
and red tape is thing of the past.
