There is a talk among the coal operators of the
Brazil district of a reduction in the price paid
the miners from 81 to 70 cents ton. The op-
orators claim that the price paid makes it impos-
sible for them to compete with Ohio coal in the
Chicago markets. AS a result there is less de-
mand for their COAL and they claim that it is for
this reason the men are given employment not
more than one day week on an average. The
miners will resist any attempt to reduce the
prices, they maintaining that it is the high
freight rates. and not the price of mining, that
renders it impossible for the operators to compete
with the Ohio operators.

An Iron Pool.

ST. LOUIS Jan. 5.-The Age of Steel prints
a statement ON the authority of a largely inter
ested iron trade, that scheme is on foot TO pool
the entire pigron industry of the country. The
plan is to divide the country into six districts,
each to be represented in the pool on the basis
made up from the tonnage producing capacity of
the district and the proft-earning capacity per
ton as shown by the work of series of years,
each furnace in district to share in the dis
tricts share of the general pool on basis deter
mined in the same way. One Of thech ief objects
of the scheme is to ascertain the exact product of
pigiron inthe country, and, with this information
in the hands of an executive committee having
authority, shutdown can be ordered at any
time to let the demand catch up with the supply,
and prices be thus made regular and steady. It
is also proposed that at any time furnaces are
ordered stopped, for any reason, each will draw
its share of the profits from the pool as though
it were in blast The Ageof Steel says the
scheme originated among the furnace men of the
Lehigh valley; that strong efforts viii be made
to carry it out among the furnace men in other
parts of the country, and that this is the first
uIIblic notice of it.

MUNCIE, Jan. 5.-The trial of Austin Case for
grand larceny and the alleged embezzlement of
the e-thousand-dollar package missing from
the United States Express Companys safe in
this city last September, ended to-day, at noon.
The jury after thirty minutes absence, returned
a verdict of mot guilty" On the first ballot
the jury stood eleven for acquital and one for
conviction; on the second ballot the vote was
unanimous for acquital. The verdict is re
ceived wich general appreciation, although it was
not unexpected, for it was impossible for any
one hearing the evidence and knowing the cir
cumstanees connected with the robbery to con
vince himself that Case is guilty.
There was nothing new developed in the exam
nation of witnesses, although much was con-
jectured Indeed, it was generally expected that
the prosecution had better case against the de-
PENDANT than they have shown, and some start
ling revelations connected with this robbery and
the two others previous to this in which this
same company was the loser, were expected But
it still remains an unsolved mystery who the
guilty man is. And he has so completely COW
cred his tracks that he is not likely to be found
out. 1t is reported that Case will sue the com
pany for damages arising from what seems an
unwarranted prosecution.

A GOOD RIDDENCE.

Mr.. II. Johns third party convention has
been held, and he was big man. He has
had another chance to denounce the party
which only two years ago he said publicly
he would stick to through thick and thin as
an official or private citizen. it mattered not
which. He was happy, and the world will
again move around as nature meant it
should, and as il starts off to slow music a
purified Republican party will with gadness
draw curtain reinforced with sheet iron of
double thickness between them and the
cranks who have followed the mugwumps-
Leavenworth Times.
We have looked over the list of delegates
to the convention, and are much mistaken if
one-ffth of them have acted with the repub-
! lican party at any time within the past five
wears. If they have done SO, it has been
for the purpose of injuring it and not in
good faith. We can name delegates who
have been prohibitionists, and said more
harsh things Of st. John in the past three
years than any Republican ever did.
They are in the movement now because
they think it will hurt the Republican party.
and for no other purpose. They are not
working for st. John, hot working for pro-
hibition, and but little for temperance, but
they hope to get sven with the Republican
party for imagined grievances. They, like
st. John, are aching for vengeance and
nothing else.
There are quite a number of other men in
the state who have pretended to be Republi-
cans in the past who We would like to see
90 over to st. Johns party or the Democ-
racy, we don't care which. We mean those
men who as n rule refuse to be bound by
by party conventions, run independent, bolt
tickets, and put on holy airs. The sooner
these men leave the party the better for it.
They can be spared, and when they get
ready TO go we will say to them as to those
who go of with ST. John this week, go in
peace, we are glad to get nd of you.-Com-

EXCEEDINGLY THIN.

The Wellington Press: At last we have
word from one of the Normal regents in ref
arence TO the sale of the Normal endowment
lands at what was considered price far be
low their value-SS.50 per acre The de
Tense Is from Isaac Sharp, Of Council Grove
ard it s printed in his paper, the Guard
We gife j; for what II is worth:
snow for the facts. The regents wer,
compelled &c sell the lands in question e
keep the school running up TO the capacity
of the attendance. ard upon examination 81
the lands it was found that there was SO
much poor land that the good must be made
sell the bad. hence all were sold in body.
The regents were offered two prices, one al
81 per acre in contracts Of a single legal sub
division. or $3.50 per acre and sell If ali IN q
BODY, and upon Insulation with the Gov
ernor and Acknowledgement W. y John
son. now associate justice of the supreme
court, it was deemed best 20 take the $3.50 for
them from Mr.. Gross. who also offered the
81 bid. for the reason that if sold in a body
and default in payment of interest or prin-
cipal Wa made all would be forfeited back
TO the state under the law, whereas if sold in
separate contracts of legal subdivisions the
purchaser might sell the good land al a large
profit and let the poor land forfeit back TO
the state, a thing that the agents would have
done themselves. and the school would have
been crippled and the state left with five or
six thousand acres of land worth not fit;
cents for retailing.
And again. the regents believe this would
be a yer9 good subject for = Republican leg
islature to investigate. We hereby demand
the same and see what the EAGLES good
authority Is"
This explanation seems TO us exceedingly
thin. We hope Mr.. Sharp will be accom-
inolia,ed with an investigation, as II will not
consume much iinc or be very expensive.
L., ~. facts come out.
