Kansas City Publishers Roast the
Western Union.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The house
committee on pOstOffices and post roads
conducting the telegraph investigation to-
day began its inquiry concerning alleged
attempts of the Western Union Telegraph
company to cOerce newspapers in the
Western states into making exclusive con-
tracts" etc. Mr.. L. NJ. Ayers appeared in
behalf OF the Kansas City Times and the
Kansas City journal, and submitted a state
ment by j. A. Mann, secretary and business
manager OF the Journal, together with a
letter from Morrison MunfOrd, proprietor
of the Times, and several communications
that had passed between the latter and
the Western Union managers relative
to the news contract OF the Times.
Mr.. Mann's statement was very long
one and was 10 the effect that Kansas City
papers had been for years at the mercy of
the Western Union company, which, recog-
niZing its powers, had wound about the
press an iron band. Editors had been
forced to sign contracts. under threats, not
to use competing lines. Recently rates fol
specials had been raised 80 per cent, and
even the price for the regular press reports
had been raised. He advised that the gov
eminent step in and perform the telegraphiC
service of the country just as it does the
mail service. Mr.. w. b. SOmerville OF New

WASTED ELooUENCE.

Col. GORDON made an earnest and elo-
quent appeal for the laboring mans candi-

A laboring man has about as much show in
a Republican convention as Chicago wheat
dealer has for heaven. 1t is pity that
Col. GoRDoN's eloquence was wasted, but
he ought to have known better. The Re-

THE PEOPLES TICKET

The harmony and unanimity in the Dem
ocratic convention at Minneapolis last night
was in marked contrast with the proceedings
of the Republican convention held during
the day. When body of men are united
in good purpose, it doesn't take them long
TO make up their minds as to what
they want, or how to accomplish
it. The Democratic voters of Min
neapolis are disguised with the
hypocritical preteuse of purity in the adj
minlstration of the city government made
by the present incumbents. while vice in all
its varied forms not only fiourishes but is
winlIed at by the officials. They are sick
and tired of listening to long-winded hon.
lilies on morality from ring bosses, who are
filling their pockets with money gathered
by a system of blackmailing ana the licens-
ing of places of evil resort which they them
selves have established. The Democrats
of Minneapolis recognize the fact

New YORK, March 23.-When asked about
last nights conference of the coal presidents
Mr.. Frederick 4. Potts, president of the
New York, SusQuehanna Il Western railroad,
said that this action was taken because coal
had been mined lately at q loss to the CON-
panies. Now that the combination was
formed the pl bic need not fear that it would
be used to force coal obove fair price. In
1882 and 1888 the price OF stove anthracite
was So. 20 per ton. This was fair price.
The price lately has been about 81 so per
ton so that ii will probably rise at least 81 10
per ton before it comes to stand. This
combination is thought to be the strongest
coal combination ever formed. The greatest
excitement prevails among the coal trade.
The price was fixed by all of the companies
at the opening of business this morning.
The annual report of the coal trade has just
been issued by the Coal Trade Journal, and
it showes total output of 102, 224,553 tons
for the United States during the year 1885, of
which 81, 1928, 529 tons were anthracite, and

Political Notes.

Herman A. Westphal yesterday made the
following bet with Aid. Sly: If Pillsbury is
elected Westphal is to wheel Sly from the
West hotel to Bridge square, three times
around the city hall, up Nicollet to Tenth
street and back to the West hotel. If Ames
is elected Mr.. Sly will act as the motive power
for propelling the wheelbarrow, which is to
to be the vehicle, and Mr.. Whestphal is to be
the passenger. The winner is TO provide
a band of music, aud in case of failure to
carry out the agreement either party is TO
forfeit $500.

it had been fully decided to

miles. A corps of surveyors will be imme-
diately put on the proposed line and final
surveys will be made. Active cOnstruc-
ton of the road will begin about May
and be finished about Nov. l, 1856. Great
significance is attached to this announce
ment, as this road will bring its iron ore
from the Vermillion district right into this
city, and it is probable that large foundries
and blast furnace will be built immedi-
