A circular received from the New
York Tribune office states that the &C.
tual paid subscription of the New York
Tribune Weekly for the last week in
October was 21O,35O copies.
The public generally do not know the
secret Of this enormous increase in cir
culation, but we happen to know that
it is due to the push and work of our
friend DR.. A. Z. Miller, one of the most
successful journalists in the United
States in giving circulation and interest
to newspaper. We congratulate the
Doctor on another 'strike.'

THE FUEL FAMINE.

The shortness in fuel still prevails to
some extent although it is hardly an
actual famine. The strike in the Fort
Dodge coal mines has embarrassed the
st. Paul 4 Sioux City road some as they
are supplied with coal from that source.
We hear that one or two of their
freight engines had to be laid aside on
account of the lack of coal to run them,
Thanks to old Boreas, for not sending
us blizzard in this hour. or rather
month of need, The Sioux City Journ-
al says of the strike:
~ gentleman who has been at Fort
Dodge to investigate the coal famine.
1T its fountain head, says, that it is un-
certain when the strike will end. If the
company aecede to the demands of the
men. there would at once be another
strike tor still higher wages. That had
been the experience of other comDan-
les. and that would be the way at Fort
dodge. There was chance that color
ed miners would be brought in. The
mines have contracts with the railroad
companies III such low figures that they
are not able to pay more for mining
than the present rate Of 81 per ton.
Storm Lake parties had sent down wag-
"ns to Crooked creek, and were hauling
all the coal they could get to the rail.
road for shipment to the Lake. It is un-
certain when the Crooked creek rail.
road will lie repaired so as to be used.
Meantime, coal is selling for S. per ton
III Fort Dodge.
4 Sioux City Journal reporter inter.
viewed Gen. Bishop on the subject Of
the fuel famine. The Gen. thinks that
the newspaper accounts of the short
ness made the coal and wood dealers
hold back fuel for higher prices, aud he
fears the famine il only begun. The
Journal says:
The remedy suggested by Gen. Dishop
was the use OF something beside coal
and wood for fuel, On his own farm.
near st. Paul. less than carload of
wo"d lasted for year. Corn cobs can
be used. and make as good fire as maple
wood. If there are not eobs enough
burn the whole corn. At the present
price corn is cheaper fuel than either
wood or coal. Hay twisted in wisps is
extensively used in many parts of Da-
kota and Minnesota. and could be more
extensively used with advantage. If the
put lie and the newspapers would cease
tn agitate the fuel question, and buckle
down to the business of introducing
CORN and hay as fuel. the question would
so"n solve itself. The owners Of wood
piles and coal mines, finding the de-
mand falling off, would put their fuel
on market. The strike of the coal min.
ers and the exhorbitant wages asked by
woodchoppers would be adjusted on =
fair lMsis. and the fuel famine would
end quietly and quickly.

WHO SHALL CONTROL CONGRESSs
There is talk Of q coalition between
Democrats and Greenbackers to keep
the House of Congress from being con-
trolled by Republicans. If this can be
done, we can rest assured that Garfield's
administration will be as pure as Hayes
administration has been. If the Re-
publicans control Congress, Garfield's
administration will become as corrupt
AS was the last administration Of
Grant.
Much has been said by partizan Re-
pnblicans about the exceptional purity
of Hayes administration and the rising
prosperity of the country during the
past four years. But not a single Re-
publican paper or speaker, of the parti-
zan stripe. has given the reason for this
exceptionally good administration. Tie
fact that Congress was Democratic and
the Executive Republican, and that
they acted as check upon each other
and that one kept the other from going
to any partizan extreme, had more to
do with the peace and prosperity of
Hayes term than any other political or
governmental factor.
1t would be God-send if the Gov
eminent could be kept in the same con-
dition for the next four years. Our on
ly fear is that the Republicans will be
able to control boil, branches and thatwe
shall lapse into the furious party legisla-
ton and corruption of Grants regime.
With Garfield in the chair and DEM
ocratic Congress to hold him and his
advisers in check. and with Garfield to
hold a Democratic Congress in check,
We could count on another four years
Of comparative good government.
But if both Congress and the Execu-
tive are to be Republican during the
next term, we predict that the Nation
with a big n" will emerge with u ven-
geance which even many Of the bitter
est Republican partizans will regret.
