Here's a chance for ministers. An en-
Ierprising London literary bureau offers
to all with neatness and dispatch orders
from the American market for second
hand sermons. The sermons are "litho-
graphed in bold, round hand, SO that
those who happen to see them would
suppose that they were manuscript" for
IS cents each, or go hundred. The
announcement Is made by the proprie-
tor Of "the concern" that he has "a full
assortment of cheaper sermons at 10
cents each, warranted orthodox, and
Others-a little more expensive-which
have g pleasantness, yet an awful So
lemnity about them"

A coal famine exists in many portions
Of the country, to the surprise of the
public. The only reason that can be
given for the existence of such condi-
ton of the traffic at this time is tina. the
monopolists will it. In Pennsylvania,
they have been manipulating the market
all winter with a view of forcing up the
price. In many sections of the country
the railroad companies have their
grip" on the coal interests, and control
the supply. AS move 10 force the
price up the operators decided to sus-
pend work at the mines for nine days
during the present month. This, not
withstanding the great operators are far
behind with their orders. At the bust
ness centers the price has been raised.
This affects the market everywhere, and
in many localities coal is not to
be had. So determined are the coal
monOpolists upon mere gain, that they
are to-day Gripping the manufacturing
interests of the country, as we'll AS draw
ing the hard earned wages of the poor u
fill their Golfers. The famine is serious
ly affecting the people of Illinois, Ohio
Indiana, Wisconsin, Kansas and the ter
ritories. The coal lands have come int
the hands Of spectators and monopo-
lists 10 such an extent that they are en-
abled To dictate terms, and il is nothing

~ON TO OKLAHOMA

II will be seen by telegram from
Hunnewell, Sumner county, that the
colony bound for Oklahoma is actually
in motion, determined TO enter the ter
ritoty at all hazards, and that a small
military force is following them. What
orders the military commanders may
have there is no means of knowing
We are of the opinion, however, that the
troops will not be allowed 10 fire upon
the colOnists. That the land was ceded
70 the government there is no doubt, but
II is claimed It was coded for the pur-
pose OF settling upon it Indian tribes.
When Mr.. Payne was arrested last fall
nothing was done with him because there
was no law under which any kind of
punishment could he inflicted. This
was the opinion given Payne by the
United States district attorney. The re-
suit OF his arrest only strengthened the
"Oklahoma BOOM" or rather strengthen
ed the determination of Mr.. Payne and
his followers to carry out their purpose
10 settle upon the lands. II has never
been declared open for settlement, aud
no one has any right, we suppose, to go
there to settle until this Is done by the
government There is another phase of
the matter which may prove more
serious to these colonists. To
get 70 the ''land of promise"
- they term 1t, they must
trespass upon Indian lands. 1t is stated
in another dispatch from Arkansas City
that emissaries have been among the In.
diAns stirring them up against this in
vasion, and that the Nez Perccs and
Poncas are threatening to take the "waI
path" against them. The colonists are
certainly running considerable risk in
going to the lands against the proclama
tion Of the president. If the Indians
were to attack them they could not ask
the protection Of the government. Tt
make the best Of 1t, these people are en-
gagged in . very unwise undertaking
which will probably result in disaster
unless congress shall speedily take tn
action they desire.
