The coal production in Germany has 20
enormously increased within the last two de-
cades that there is reason to fear an exhaustion
Of the beds at no very distant date. While the
production Of England In that period has risen
from S4.5 million tons to 1898 millions, that OF
France from IS million to 1o4 million, that of
Belgium from GO million to 1863 million, the
German yield of coal has increased from l2 3
million to 500 Millions proportion reached ap-
proximately only by the United States. which
shows rise in production from 152 million TO
10.3 million tons. Considering that the coal
fields of Belgium comprise about 800 square
miles, those Of France 800. those of Germany
5000. those Of England 5000: an comparing
with these the vast coal fields OF the East In

(20O.CO0 square miles) and China (over 300 0o0
square mies), the question of so improving

of transport may render possible continuation
of industrial work on European soil even with
foreign coal, becomes Qn the opinion Of the

England,s Current Hero.

This Is the way the hero of the day looked
at the royal review in London twenty DAYS
ago:
''Sir Garnet Wolseley rode slowly up wearing
all his orders, the crimson sash of the Grand
Cross of the Bath, three enormous stars and so
many war medals that they had to be strung
along one bar, and nearly covered his breast.
Sir Garnet looked uncommonly well. There
was the usual pleasant smile on his bright
CHEEKY face as he nodded his greetings to his
friends, or received and returned the salutes of
his staff. AS he sat there so quietly, and with
such an unpretending air, it was difficult to be-
lieve that this slight, small man, still 80 unde-
niably young-looking in spite Of the iron-gray
hair, had done SO much"

was carried up to the Supreme Court Of the U.
s. and there the decision, as mentioned above,
has again been rendered in favor of the town,
this time by the unanimous agreement Of the
court, and thus of course forever ending 1t.

pecunary view to the people of Ottawa, it is
no less so AS II personal triumph 10 Mr. An
drew Lynch TO whose intelligence and pluck
alone our people are indebted for the rcliet
from so heavy a load rs the decision brings
them. Mr., Lynch had opposed issuing the
bonds IN the first place, beng assured that the
Rock Island Company stood ready to build
the road from Streator TO Ottawa, which would
have been better for our city than to have the
road pass on beyond US. When subsequently,
he found that by piece OF sharp practice the
virtually extinguished, he initiated on his own
responsibility the proceedings to enjoin the
collection Of the tax to pay the interest on the
bonds, and from that day to the end he fol.
and persistence which it Is fair to say he
never would have given had the case been his
own. He not only employed the best legal
talent to aid him, but himself so studied the
case and made himself master of all its details,
points and bearings rs to inspire him with
that unilinching confidence in ultimate victory
which sustained HIM to the end More than
once his attorneys themselves lost faith and
would have consented to compromise.
When the first decision at Warrington was
adverse even the town went back on him and
the collection OF the necessary funds to con.
tlnue the litigation was enjoined, and Mr..
Lynch was compelled to advance large sums
from his own pocket, besides making frequent
trips to Chicago and Washington at his own
expense. We believe the lawyers in the case
are to have conditional fee equal to one
years interest on the bonds for their services.
If they are entitled to such a sum, what ought
the pay OF Mr.. Lynch to be? On that point,
however, we feel well assured that our people
need borrow no trouble. Mr.. Lynch Will ask
nothing that Is unreasonable. If we are not
called upon, however, to offer him adequate
pay in money for such princely services, it
would be worse than niggardly not to accord
him freely and heartily all honor and graft
