The Baltimore Sun learns from An
napolis that
Governor Carroll has instructed Attorney
General Gwinn to take legal proceedings
before the proper court in Allegany county
against the Consolidation Coal Company
to ascertain whether it has been guilty Of
such abuse or misuse of it's charter in
charging rates for the transportation of
coal over the Cumberland and Pennsyl-
vania railroad, or otherwise, as would make
the forfeiture of its charter proper. The
suit is brought in order that the court may
be enabled to make such decree as may be
necessary in the premises under the act of
1858, chapter All. Mr.. Gwinn will prepare
the necessary papers, and proceedings will
be commenced in the Circuit Court for Al
legany county at an early day.

TO settle our troubles some frst-rate
common sense, some Cancellation and
careful judgment, are indispensable.
And then determination on all sides
to regain as speedily and fully as prac-
ticable whatever has been lost.

THE situation remains unchanged.
Hundreds of men are idle and bust
ness is languishing The cause is
variously assigned. One authority
fixes it upon the railroad company,
another upon the miners, and another
upon both the railroad company and
the miners.
Meanwhile Clearfeld competition
is absorbing our trade and threatening
the future development of coal in this
region. The great trade built up af-
ter years ofpatient, arduous endeavor,
is thus losing its fruitage through some
wrong, somewhere, by somebody.

We are bringing the Press to the
scratch nicely. Last week it asserted
that we were "con.pelled' to purchase
the printing machine two weeks after
it was placed in our Office sin order to
make the Press statement appear
false" This week Harry Robinson,
the Press authority in this printing
machine matter, sweors that he was
told that the power press was "on trial.
in our Office zone OF two weeks" be-
fore purchase. Now, did Harry tell
the Press one thing and swear to an
other, or has the Press published
something as emanating from Harry
that Harry did not say? There are
two horns to this dilemma we dare
thePress to take either.

Clearfeld coal? This is the great BIZ

 An exchange says: "When you get in tight place for some articles of family use and haven't the money by you to pay for it, you often get accommodation from the merchant or mechanic of your town or neighborhood, who waits till 1t is convenient for you to pay for it. But then again, when you have some funds on hand, do you think of this and go and spend your money with those who accommodate you, and thus keep the home currency in circulation where it ought to stay? or do you make up an order, get ting others to join you, and for ward the cash to q distant city to swell the cotfers of those whom you never derive any benefit or favor from2 this course will react on you if you do so.
