THE COAL INTERESTS.

operators and Miners i'm Consultation n PITTsBURG, Pa., Dec. 16-1he national conference of coal operators and miners this morning listened to the reading of numerous communications from prominent coal firms in Iowa (not represented) and other persons, all expressing sympathy with the purpose of the convention.
 MT. Mcbride on behalf of the miners pre- scented to the operators the following scale of prices to rule from May 1, 1886, to May 1, 1888:
 Pittsburg district 2a4 cents per bushel or Fl cents CT ton; Hooking valley 60 cents per ton; Indiana block 80 cents; Indiana bi luminous 65 and 75 cents per ton bituminous; Wilmington Ills, 95 cents; Streator Ills, 80 cents; Groupe Creek, Ills, 75 cents; Mt. Oliver, Ills, 56 1-2 cents; Staunton Ills, 56 1-2 cents; Springfield, 62 1-2 cents; Des Moines, Ia., 90 cents; West Virginia and Kansas Districts have reduced prices to restore rates to 75 cents per ton. The call was received by the operators and reserved fer consideration. The next con vention will be held at Columbus, O., Tues day, Feb. 23rd, 1886.
 Colonel Read then presented a series of resolutions invoking the aid of the State and and national legislation for the suppression of the colossal dishonesty as at present con nected with the building of new railroads, issuing spurious bonds and watered stock, which is not alone injurious to the finances of bona hde legitimate railroad corporations, but the greatest cause of the demoralization of the coal business. This resolution was discussed and tabled and the convention adjourned. The operators withdrew to discuss the new scale presented by the miners and the miners proceeded to hold meeting of the executive committee of the national federation of min ara

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-In letter to Secretary Manning Surveyor Understood of the Boston customhouse makes the follow ing statement regarding certain frauds in the revenue alleged to have occurred in Collector Simmons time: t'I have been in- formed and believe that during the adminis tration of Collector Simmons at this port, frauds on the revenue were committed by ordering bogus packages sent to the Alp, praisers, and valuable packages of merchan- disc declined by the inspector on fraudulent and irregular permits. I am informed that Collector Beard, and I think also Special Agent Bingham, found evidence of these frauds, some of which I have seen, but which are not in my possession. In that case the permits were returned to the col lectors office, from whose files they were stolen by some collision in that office."

 LONDON, Dec. 16.-Mr. Timothy Harring. ten, secretary of the Irish national league and member-eleet for Dublin, to-day in formed United Press correspondent that l,6oO league branches averaging 300 mem bers each had given s6O, 900 to the e1 ecutive body thus far in 1885. Some of the new members of the House of Commons would be given salaries, but only in cases where It IS absolutely necessary for their suitable maintenance. The extinction of the Liberals in Ireland would, he predicted, i'm mensely benefit the national cause and he believed it was chiefly due to Lord Harting- tons Belfast speeches in which he appealed to religious bigotry. Boycotting outside of the leagues programme was, he said, con- hned to few branches, and it was not the policy of the executive to meddle in local affairs They would, however, stop boy cott1ng if the practice should be abused.

OUR DARLING'S GONE.

How can we give you up? dear one,
And see you go away
From scenes of all your happy life,
And from us go to stay.
In church, as well as Sunday school,
With all the nilsson band,
The old, the young, the little ones,
VIII miss your loving hand.
And when the music of your voice
Shall be no longer heard,
Twill sadder make the music of
The merry mocking bird.
The flowers will smile less sweetly, too,
As they look up and say:
From kindred and from loving friends
Our Darling's gone away
The ripping brook each passing hour.
Will tell, in accents sweet,
Of deeply, earnest, Christian work,
That throng about your feet.
When come the evenings falling shade
The echoes on the breeze,
Will thrill the hearts of loved ones dear
You've fondly sought to please
And when the golden rays of morn,
Shed joyous light around
'Tis emblem fit of that sunshine
Which in their heart is found.
Thou almost proof against the power
OF Cupid's piercing dart,
His silken cords of love now twine
Around dear Sallic's heart.
A manly soul, all brave and true,
Hath found the wealth of love,
So deep and pure in thine own heart,
And gentle as the dove.
To thee, sweet girl, he offers all
That makes manly heart,
To strew thy path with sweetest flowers
And nobly act his pare.
To shield thy life from every harm
Will be his aim through life,
To guard and cherish tenderly
A fond, devoted wife.
Thy loving friendsan kindred dear,
With Joy assemble now,
To place the bridal wreath so pure
Upon the loved ones brow.
And may the God of Heaven send
From windows opened wide
Rich blessings on this honorcd Groom,
And on his lovely Bride.

A Needed Reform.

The Albany News md Adver-
tiser says: "There can be no
doubt of the fact that Georgia's s
credit is good. Likewise, there
can be no doubt but that it might
be better. 1t is fine thing to be
able to borrow money on good
terms, but it is bad policy to SO
manage as to be compelled to bor-
row. 1t is vastly better to compel
an honest return of property for
the purpose of taxation, put such
a tax upon it as will raise all the
funds needed by the State, and be
ready to meet every obligation as
it falls due. The State of Geor-
gia has no need of debt, and she
should get rid of it"
