THR New York TribUns states that the an

usual winter monthly advance Of prices, while
the Pennsylvania company has adopted the
opposite policy Of gradually lowering their
rates af,cr December; in order to so stimulate
consumption as to clean out their yards Of stock
bcsore the dull summer season comes on. The
advancc insisted upon by the combination
averages about ten per cent. monthly, and is
really tax laid upon those small consumers
who are Obliged to purchase from day to day.
The pretended excuse for this discrimination
against the poorer classes, who arc unable to
lay IN a winter stock during the summer
months, Is the additional expense Of storage
Incurred by the miners, which, Il Is claimed,

ing political speeches at $500 night Schurz con-
sirued the remark personal TO himself, and char
acserized ii as false; that he had not during the

TIE SPANISH REPTBLTC.

THE Federal Republican idea in Spain,
which has recently called out an intima-
ton of protest from the other Euro
pean powers, has strong hold upon the
Spanish people, and a strong following
among Spanish politicians. Their idea
would create Republic similar to our
own, the Provincial Councils being
analogous to our State Legislatures, and
each Province havig Governor repre-
senting the sovereignty Of the Province.
The Republic has already been divided
into thirteen Provinces, which are styled
the Republican Confederation of Spain,
as follows: /, The four Provinces Of
Galicia, 1887, 1872 2, The Asturias and
Old CASTLE, 1888, POS; 3, Burgos, Ma
varre, and the Basque Provinces, 1885,
O73; 4, Aragon, Rioja, and Soria,
1852, 946; 5, Catalonia, LIZA, O52; 6,
Valencia and the Balearic Isles, ], $780,
434; Z, New CASTLE, 1889, AS; 8, Es-
tramadura, Mancha, and Murcia, $751;
300; 9, Oceanic Andalusia and the
Canary Islands, 1,755,7l6; 10, Mediter-
ranean Andalusia, lis, 1854; II, Cuba,
1,4l4, sos; IL, Porto Rico, GAG, 1892 ID,
The Philippine Archipelago, 2,679, 500.
Should the Federal Republican idea pre-
vail, of which, however, there is not the
slightest probability at present, the
above-named Provinces would be the
equivalents of our States.

THE report of Commissioner Drum
mond, of the Land Office, on the SOL
diers' Additional Bounty bill, shows
that out Of all the lands granted to SOL
diers since the establishment of the
Government less than one per cent. have
been settled by them or their heirs,
while spectators secured the warrants
at rates which realized virtually no
benefit to the soldiers. The statistics
collated by Commissioner Douglass also
show that the bounty bill proposed last
session would have taken all the arabic
lands now held by the Government, Of
which it is safe to assume ninety-nine
per cent. would have gone into the pos
session Of spectators at merely nominal
rates, while the prices to actual settlers
would have been raised.
