The Coal Question.

1t is especially necessary at this time, in
the interest of fair dealing and the integrity
of the laws of trade, that the Lehigh Valley
Railroad shall be sustained in its quarrel
with the Coal Ring by strong public senti-
ment. So strong is the grasp of the monop-
oily upon the production as well as the
transportation of coal that competition is to
be fostered above every other consideration.
If we lose this we lose everything, and the
broken Ring will be riveted again moro
firmly than before. The two interests
to be protected are the rights of the
consumer and the freedom of the
producer. The carrying companies seek
to control these by arbitrary schedules Of
tonnage and prices In affecting it they
endeavor to crush every interest but their
own. 1t is only natural that the next step
should be an attempt to punish the Lehigh
Valley road for its alleged breach of faith
with the other companies in the combination
in carrying more tonnage than it was entitled
to by the terms Of the conspiracy. Should
such an attempt succeed it would be dis
astrous in the extreme, especially if
the managers Of the Lehigh Valley
road can be induced to act'i in good faith
toward the public. In this direction, it
must be confessed, tho company needs
watching. We care nothing about its breach
of faith with the combination, and if the
charge attributed to it that the other CON-
panies were selling coal at lower prices than
schedule rates is only an excuse for dissolv-
ing its connection with the Ring.
we would be inclined to Justify it.
But there are rumors afoat affecting
the company which have anything else
than an innocent look There is no
reason why the Lehigh Valley road should
discredit the great sale Of coal on Tuesday
next unless it be to maintain prices by keep
to be valid one, and we trust Us, every
body will hail this kind of punishment for
the Lehigh Valley Company with delight.
sale of this nature will bring the trade
nearer it's true basis than ANYTHING
else. Combination and speculation have
and what we now wish to see
maintained is freedom for everybody
the freedom of the coal companies and opera
tors to produce Us much coal as they may
choose, the freedom of the carrying COM
panies to carry as much tonnage as they can,
which in the end will be only as much rs
there is market for, and the freedom of
consumers to buy where they can buy tho
cheapest in the absence Of any arbitrary
standard fixed by q combination or con-
spiracy represented by board of control.
In o word, now that tho Coal Ring is broken
n stern public opinion must be directed
against any similar combination in the
future.

The Centennial Contests.

The progress which has been made in
athletic sports during the last century is
fifty illustrated by the prominence of yacht
ing boating and rifle practice in the pro-
granlme for the Centennial celebration
Already the yacht clubs have contested in
on ocean race for centennial honors. At this
moment the Schuylkill is alive with eager
contestants with the oar, including single
SOULS and crews of two and four. Never
before were SO many representative oarsmen
brought together in this country. Nearly
all the American clubs are represented, and
New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have sent
us their swiftest watermen The Thames
may also contribute some of its best profess
sional oarsmen to give interest and variety
to the teies. The Dublin University Rowing
Club will participate, and so will many of
our own college crews; it is not impossible
that even Cambridge and Oxford will put in
an appearance in some shape. All these
things are pleasant to record, especially in
the interest of boating. In this aspect the
value and importance of the matches cannot
be overestimated. Style as well as
speed is to be tested, and from
this year boating men in the Old World
and the New will begin to understand the
difference in their schools" British finish
and grace are to be compared with the rude
energy and force Of the backwoods and we
are to have comparison of strokes as we'll
as of swiftness. All this has an interest and
value of it's own. But for novelty and the
hold it is likely to take upon the popular
imagination the international rifle match at
Creedmoor which begins on the 18th of
September and lasts two days, is likely
to outstrip all the other events of the
year. In this great match the Irish, Scotch,
Australian, Canadian and American rifle
teams will compete for the championship of
the world. This match excites worldwide
attention, and the greatest interest will be
felt in its results. AT this early day it is
impossible to predict which of the teams
will be able to carry off the medal of the
United States Centennial Commission. and
we all await with impatience the decree of
skill and good fortune which is to decide
whether it shall remain at home, become the
possession of our northern neighbors or be
taken over the seas to Ireland or Scotland
or to the antipodes. In any event we shall
all be satisfied, though none Of us can ex-
pect to see the next trial of skill at the end
of another hundred years
