CONGRESS- is called upon to pass upon so
many measures, that it is getting very diff
ficult for q Congressman to tell good
thing when he sees it. The great coal
pool that has been formed to limit the pro.
duct and keep up the price calls forth this
from the Philadelphia Record: Whereas
q conspiracy has been formed by the coal
carrying companies to limit the supply Of
anthracite coal, and thereby maintain
prices sgsinst consumers; therefore, be it
resolved, that the duty of seVenty-fve cents
9 ton on coal be aud is hereby repealed
A resolution of this kind BY Congress
would give practical expression in small
degree to the public indignation aroused
By the combination to make scarce and
dear leading necessary of living and raw
material of manufacturers. 1t is true
enough that the coal of Nova Scotia, which
is prohibited by this duty, is not Of such
quality as to directly compete with anthrs-
cite, but repeal of the duty would relax to
some extent the power Of the conspiracy
and give some relief to consumers"

HUXLEY ON POPULAR RULE.


Prot. HUXLEY has q great reputation as
a scientist ard is an earnest champion OF
the theory Of evolution. But when he ap'
plies bis theories to the affairs OF men 1t
leads him to believe that everything is go
ing to the dogs about as fast as it can-he
becomes devolutionist. The tendency In
England and Ireland and in nearly all the
States of Europe is toward making the
people their own rulers, as in the United
States. Bat such principle Prot. Hux-
LEY thinks is merely circuitous method
Of going to the devil.
Here are few things Che says Of home

But have kept carefully out Of the pohti-

past has persuaded me that nothing but
some sharp ard sweeping national mistor
tune will convince the msjority of oul
couutrymen that government BY average
opinion is merely ciseuitous method o
going to the devil, and that those who pro
fess to lead. but who in fact slsvishly follow
the average opinion, are simply the tastes

herd which is rushing blindly down to it
