Lumber and Coal.

1t is with great satisfaction we chronicle
the failure Of the great lumber combination.
t involves the bankruptcy of several large
firms, east and west, and, as the telegraph
reports, the loss of nine millions of dol.
lars. We think this must be exaggerated.
This combination was organized to control
the market and advance the already too
high price Of the necessary materials Of
building. Neither the producer nor the
consumer gets any advantage by such an
organized system of plundering both. 1t
is one of the great disgraces Of our civli-
zation that such combination could exist
at all and it is a matter Of graduation
that it has been so signally and disastrous
ly Frustrated.
We wish that it might prove wholesome
warning to the great coal combination
which has recently been put in operation,
and which has put up the price of this nee
essary commodity more than fifty per cent,
and promises to advance the price still
more by monthly instruments. Coal is even
more necessary than lumber. We can
build with brick and stone, as they do in
the older countries, but we cannot 90 through
our severe winters without fuel And the
weight of this organized brgandage, for il
IS nothing else, falls heaviest on those least
able to bear it. 1t is the poor, who cannot
lay up winters supply, who will have tc
pay the highest rates. Nor do we under,
stand that this combination adds anything
to the wages Of the miner. The producer
Of the coal still works for his old wages.
The consumer is robbed for the benefit o.
the middlc.men. The whole thing is sim
ply infamous, and the least we can hope il
that it shall share the fate of the lumber
combination. We never regret seeing suct
spectators in necessary things come t.
grief. Men may speculate in gold ant
bank stocks and railroad securities and dia
monds to their hearts content, for they bu
rob each other Of unlawful gains. Blu
when it comes to corners in lumber, -four
grain, butter fuel, and such like, we hay,
profound delight in seeing the cornerer
cornered. The more they lose, the bette

The journeymen carpenters Of New
York are trying hard to force their employ
ers to the adoption Of the eight hour sys-
TEN, but without very strong probability
OF success. As matter Of fact there are
more carpenters in New York, to-day, than
places for them to work, and under that
condition of affairs it is up bill work to
bolster up strike. The strikes which
have taken place, and which have been
threatened this season at New York, have
greatly disturbed and restricted building
operations of all kinds, and while the en-
ployers arc worrying along" as best they
can, they are in no mood to pay ten hours
wages for eight hours work. Many of
the carpenters openly repudiate the d.
reetions of the managers who have ordered
the strike, and there are SO many men who
are willing to work ten hours for good pay
that the only results Of this latest strike
are likely to be to throw the striking work.
men out Of employment and still further
disturb aud embarass the general labor
market, which depends upon building ac-
tivity for its vitality.

Louisiana Again.

President Grant has issued a procama.
ton rocitiug the fact tina; certain parties in
Louisiana have combined to resist the au.
thority Of the Kellogg government, which
government the U. S. Senate has tacity
recognized by refusing to take any action
with respect thereto; wherefore he COM
mands such turbulent and disorderly per-
sons to disperse and retire to their respect
i've abodes within twenty days, aud hereaf-
ter TO submit themselves to the laws and
constitution Of said State; and he invokes
the aid and cooperation of all good citi.
zeus thereof to uphold the law aud preserve
the public peace.
Senator Carpenter, of Wisconsin, has
also been making speech at New Orleans,
wherefrom most of the opposition draw
great consolation. Let us see exactly what
Mr.. Carpenter did say. lie touched upon
the political difficulties of Louisiana, and
followed the same line which he took in
the Senate. 1t was he who framed the re-
port Of the majority Of the Senate Com.
mittee which investigated Louisiana affairs
In that document he aud his colleagues ex.
pressed the opinion that if there had been
fair election, Kellogg would have been
chosen Governor. As matter of fact
however, he held that Kellogg was not
elected, aud that the assumed election OIL
McEnery rested upon fraud. Under the
circumstances, be thought the only proper
soiu'tou or tbs dlnivuly was to wipe Out
all the Irregularities aud have new elec.
ton. But the Senate did not approve that
view, and the Kellogg government was per.
mitted to stand.
Ia his New Orleans speech he goes over
this ground again. He says, "Kellogg was
not elected at all"--he had said that Kel.
logg would have been elected, if there had
been a fair election-"and McEnory wa.
elected, if at all, by fraud" We are care.
ful to repeat this language because Senator
Carpenter has been misrepresented by Demo.
cratic papers as recognizing McEuery',
claim He not only refuses to do that but
since no action was taken by Congress, he
expressly says that Grant has DO other
course but to recognize and support Kel.
logg' Here is his language; "As the
President must see the laws are executed
he must, under the decree of the United
States Courts, support the Kellogg Govern.
meni, and you cannot help yourselves" We
trust those who have been accustomed to
refer so often to Senator Carpenter, will
heed these words
Affairs in Louisiana are bad enough al
best, and we have learned to regard Gov,
ernor Kellogg as anything but political
saint; but We cannot help being Disguised
with the uproar which the opposition
journals are making aboutit. The solution
which the President seeks to make of tn,
matter is the only practicable one left, and
be is going at it in plain, straightforward
manner, just as he is accustomed to do.

There is a ray Of light breaking
through our Indian hostilitios at last
While Gen. Custer sends word from Fort
Randall, in Dakota, that the Indians Of
the Upper Missouri are reported to be get
ting ready for fight, the news from Cali
tornia and Texas is such as will check this
demonstration. From the Modoc region
We learn that Gen. Davis vigorous policy
has compelled the surrender of large part
Of the band of Capt. Jack, including his
cleverest warriors, and that the "war" is
practically at an end. The savages tried,
but in vain, their usual devices for treach-
cry and delay, and becoming convinced
that they must either give up the struggle
absolutely, or prepare for another fight,
they gave up. In Texas, on the Mexican
frontier, Col. Mackenzie, by forced march,
struck a band of marauding Kickapoos,
killed all but three of the warriors, captur.
ed the women aud children, destroyed a
village aud stores, and recovered large
number Of stolen stock. This is said to
have taken place on Mexican soil, and con-
sidering the perfect immunity with which
these murderous inhabitants of Mexico
have raided on our soil despite the remon.
STRANGE Of our government, we care but
little If the report prove true.

The course of the Massachusetts med
ical society in expelling certain members Of
its body for practicing homeopathy, and
more particularly the insulting mannec Of
tho expulsion, affords u striking instance Of
the bitterness Of medical intolerance. Ii
is an example of the middle age method Of
treating honest divergences Of opinion,
which will point the gbes Of those medical
skeptics who maintain the whole science Of
the materia medica to be a relic Of medu-
val superstition. We do not doubt that
the members Of the Massachusetts medical
society are gentlemen in their individual
characters, but collectively considered, the
society has certainly been guilty of very
uugentlemanly conduct.
