THE GOAL QUESTION.
From the St. Louis Post Dispatch.1

From the st. Louis Post-Dlspatcn.l
The coal miners of Lafayette county
went to the state railroad commissioners
with a complaint that the Missouri
Pacific had unreasonably raised the
rates of coal transportation between
Lexington and Kansas City from 60 to75
cents per ton, and that this raise was
made to shut out shipments from all
mines except those owned and operat-
ed bv persons connected with the man.
agement of the road, which was thus
working in the interest of a coal mono
poly. After formally hearing these
complaints the commissioners have
notified the complainants that the board
has refused to reduce the rate, without
assigning any reason for the decision,
and that the charge II regard to the
officers of the road engaging in the
coal business will be referred to Attor-
ney- General Boone for such action as
he may choose to take in the matter.
If the railroad commissioners of Mis-
souri, have aver rendered the people OF
this state any service of the value OF
one red cent we should like to know
when, where or in what way. Of all
the railroad commissions now billeted
upon the treasures of twenty or
thirty states, those of Massachusetts,
Georgia and Mississippi are the only
ones that have accomplished anything
or seemed to try. The others are either
so subservient to railroad influence or
are rendered so powerless by law that
the money paid to them is a swindle
upon taxpayers"

SENATOR VEST IMPROVING.

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Senator
and Mrs. Vest with Senator and Mrs.
Cameron leave for Old Point Comfort
at z O'Clock to. morrow morning. They
will goi in Senator Cameron's private
car, and as the run from this city is
quite short, it is not thought Senator
Vest will suffer any serious inconven-
fence. He will be accompanied by DIR.
Morgan, his regular physician, who
will stay with him until he lie satisfied
no harm has come from the move.
Advantage was taken of the bright
warm weather to-day to give Senator
Vest a drive. He went to the capitol
first, and was carried into the senate
barber room to have his beard shaved,
and then driven down the avenue to q
dentists. In the afternoon he looked
over the statement made to the sub
committee of the telephone investigat-
ing committee yesterday and made
some corrections, putting in a pretty
good days work for a convalescent and
coming through it quite satisfactorily.

TEOUMP DOESN'T LIKE THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March ga popu-

Scales of this city, who is owe 20 years
of age, and has devoted forty-fve
years of her life to the building up OF
the public school system of this city,
has lately been started. The following
to contribute to the fund, was printed
to-day:
ST. LOUIS, No., Feb. 27.-Mrs. j.
Anderson, st. Louis-Dear Madam:
Your feeling appeal in behalf of Mrs.
Catharine Scales of the Jefferson pub
lie school is before me land, though you
are a stranger to me, l will venture to
offer a few facts which l hope will con-
vince you that General Sherman
ought not to be expected to contribute
to this charity; though most worthy.
l have owned real property in St.Louis
since 1850, on which | have paid thou
sands of dollars in taxes, though l have
neve received a cen in return. My
family Is Catholic and Mrs. Sherman
would no more consent to have her
children enter a public school than a
common tavern. Therefore in addition
to the school taxes I have been com
PEELED to pay large prices for education
in private schools. Again, for the past
twenty years l have been taxed heavily
by old union soldiers who are sent to
me by neighbors or naturally come to
me in their distress. l believe 1 am
thus taxed $4,000 to 81 paid by the
wealthiest citizens of St. Louis,
and this is n of the causes which
drives me from St. Louis. l sympa-
thize, of course, with Mrs. Scales, and
believe the school board can and
should provide tor her in her old age.
They can and must employ her IN a
nominal capacity; they have no righ1
after forty years of faithful service to
turn her out on the cold charity of the
world; they would not treat a horse il
that brutal fashion. / expect to con.
tinue to give over 5000 a year to thu
school tax of St. Louis and cheerfully
offer to dedicate the whole or a part O
it for a fund to maintain worthy teach
ers who have given the best years o
their life to teaching. Over and abov,
my school tax l can not afford more
and beg you to excuse me. With res
pect, your friend, w. T. SHERMAN.
