ANTHRACITE COAL.
The Time Believed He Near When
the Greedy Monopoly i'm Penn
sylvanta VIII Fall TO Pieces.
PHILADELPHIA special.


The msgnates of the anthracite coal
interest are between too stools. They
want to put up the price, and yet not
check consumption. They know this
cannot be done, so they propose to ar
range for further suspensions. This plan
has worked very successfully this year.
and the price has been held up higher
and more firmly than since the war. But,
in spite of restrictions they have kept the
mines idle fully two months this year, the
production to date is over 1880, 900
tons against Is, 500, 900 tons for the same
time last year. The biggest output ever
known WAS in 1879, when $4,000, 0C0
tons were mined, and fully 1000, 900
carried over to the next year unconsum-
ed and most of it unsold. The fact that
the mines have turned out coal at the
same rate rs in 1879, with a stOppage for
fully one third of the time, shows con-
clusively that the trade can not much
longer be kept in tight swsddling
clothes, and that no rise in price, which
can be maintained only by a further cur
tailment of production, can be sustained.
The demand from the West shows
q steady and large increase and the
Railroad Company has re-
fused to be bound by any agreement
to stop mining. The compact between
the Presidents is now only an agreement
Of straw, which is lived up to only from
self interest, and the day is rapidly APP
preaching when it will be for the interest
Of other companies than the Pennsylva-
MIA to break loose from it. Just now
drought is shortening the supply of wa
ter in the mines 50 as materially to dimin-
sh production-at least the miners report
SO, but an increased shipment of almost
200, 900 tons from the Schuylkill regions
Iast week does not look much like it.

The London Lancet on the Presidents
wound.

LONDON, Sept. 2.-The Lancet of this
week says: We do not think the healing
of President Gsrfield's wound will
be promoted by probing to learn how
far granulation has proceeded. The most
favorable signs are the fall of tempera-
ture to normal and the frequency of
pulse This is thoroughly safe criter
ion of increased strength and subsistence
of blood poisoning, and together with
improved power of digestion,
ability to sleep soundly, mental
clearness and cheerfulness affords solid
grounds for the hope of recovery. The
case is a striking illustration of the pow
er of good constitution to hold up
against Hines that would certainly have
killed u feebler person; but'another fail
ure in the Presidents digestive powers
or symptoms of blood poisoning might
at any time turn the balance against
him, and what we have hitherto insisted
upon so often we are bound 70 repeat,
that President Garfield will not I've out
of danger until the wound is healed.

Purify the Caucus by Attending Ii.
Albany Journal.

We know that of late years the aver
age caucus has not been very inv ting to
those who like to see everything done
"decently and in order" They are diff
ferent from what they used to be But
this change has been of gradual growth
and has resulted from the neglect of
those who find fault with it. If our
caucuses had always been we'll attended
they would not have degenerated as they
have, until now, in many localities, a
caucus is simply gathering called by
the local "boss" to give the semblance of
regularity" to his prearranged purpose.
1t would be different if the mass of the
party realized the fact that the caucus is
the pivot upon which the whole machin
cry of politics turns, and took care, by
their presence, that the pivot was prop
erly adjusted.
