The use of carpetings may be traced to a very remote period, although as late as the time of Queen Mary, rushes and oth- CT coarse materials were used on the floors of her apartments. For many years Flu rope received all her carpets from the East. and in many places whole families might be found in the occupation of car pet weaving. We are now producing in this country carpets of the same excel fence as those of foreign make.

Freedom of the press seems unknown in the Indian Territory. Recently Messrs. Boudinot and Harris began publication at Muskogee. in the Creek Nation, of paper called"Indian Progress" Thereupon Gen. Shanks. an Indian Commissioner, and one M, P. Roberts. demanded the immediate suspension of the paper on the ground tAat they had been granted charter from the Greek nation giving them 8 monopoly of the newspaper business within their territory. The Creek Council compiled with this demand and suppressed the Progress. whereupon Messrs. Boudinot and Smith appealed to the U. s. govern ment for redress. We have not heard the result of the apeal, but notice that the proprietors of the Progress have resumed its publication at Vinita, whether within the Greek reservation does not appear. We cannot believe that the general gov ernment would permit such relic of bar barism to exist in any territory under its control as monopoly of the business of painting newspapers. ..-.... g

 One of the most serious grievances the public suffers from the concentration of power in great corporations is felt in the unreasonable price we are still compelled to pay for coal. In all other industries there has been great reduction of prices within the past few years, but coal is higher than before the crash of '73. The occasion of this IS to be found in the fact that six months steady work in the Penn: sylvania collieriss with the hands still em- ployed there will produce all the coal needed for our years supply. Instead of reducing the force one half, and keeping that half at work all the year on reasona- ble wages, the owners give enormous wages to miner while at work, on the ex. pectation that he will lie idle half the time. By this arrangement, though coal is kept at high prices, the owner makes no cores pondingly large profit and the miner lays up hardly enough during his season of work to carry him through his sea son of idleness. It is state of things that could exist nowhere else than in the monopoly ridden State of Penhsylvania, and the high price of coal that results is one of the most serious endorsements of business in these hard times. It is an ''ill wind" however, that may blow us soms good. after all, for the dearer the high price of coal makes manufacturing in the cities. the sooner will the cheap water power of the country be brought in- Co use.
