The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1888-06-28

Cincinnati coal dealers have been
manifesting a good deal Of feeling on
the subject, and some Of them have
been giving out some information on
the subject that is not strictly true.
The Times-Star Of June 10Th con-
tains the following:
The coal men Of this city are up in
arms against the Directors of the
Longview Asylum on account of the
letting Of the contract for coal for that
institution to the Jackson Coal Com.
pany, of Jackson, Ohio. This con-
tract for 100000 bushels, which here
tefore has been held by home indus
try, has gone from us, and the coal
men say this should not be thus.
The Longview Directors awarded
the contract in secret session, but it
has been ascertained that the price
was very small fraction over eight
cents bushel, and that the delivery
is to be at the Asylum. Mr.. Fechhei-
mer was seen in reference to the mat
ter and said:
II am as much in favor Of patron
izing home industries as anyone could
be. But this was purely matter of
business. The Jackson Coal Compa-
ny's price was at first $4,000 and their
last 81 800 less than that of Sol. Kin
con, the lowest local bidder. We
have to be very economical in our
management Of the asylum so as to
have ends meet. There is no spare
money anywhere, and 81 800 is not an
item to be overlooked, The objection
has been urged that the Jackson coal
is not as good even at the less price as
the Yougiogheny coal. But DR.. Mil
ler, the Superintendent, and members
Of the Board of Directors examined
that carefully and stated that it is un-
doubtedly a saving to use it when the
price is taken into consideration, al
though the quality is not so good"
Mr.. Kreis, another Of the Directors,
was seen, but refused to have anything
to say about the matter. Said he:
"The terms of the contract are not
complete yet, and it might be damag-
ing to the interests of the asylum to
publish the figures"
Said another Director: II would
like to know why the Cincinnati coal
mems contract was ten to fifteen per
cent higher than ever before, while
the Board of Public affairs was able to
get coal at twenty cents on the ton
less than formerly for the pumping
station"
The Erkenbrecher Starch Company
has been using the Jackson coal for
some time. Mr.. Schuler was ques-
toned as to the wherefore Of this and
replied: "We have made practical
tests at the furnaces and know that at
the price at which we get it, the Jack
son coal is cheaper than the Pittsburg
coal"
'How much cheaper?"
swell, If we could get the Pittsburg
coal for three-fourths Of cent bush
ell more than we pay for the Jackson
coal, we would not hesitate about US
ing the former It would be cheaper.
But outside Of cent bushel differ
ence, the Jackson coal is the cheaper"
From these statements the matter
seems to stand that the Jackson coal
can be had for about eight cents,
while the lowest bid for Pittsburg
coal was eleven cents a bushel deliv-
cred.
But scientific trial, as was made
at the Water Works, shows that the
Jackson coal is dear even when a third |
cheaper than river Goals. It is hard !
and slaty. The local coal men are
willing to guarantee the Longview

: In the Convention held at Chicago
last week, the same desk was used by
the presiding officer that was used in
the Conventions where Garfield and
Blaine were nominated.
A number of gavels were presented
to the Convention, one of wood made
from the desk used by Gen. Grant
when he was in the tannery at Gale
ma, Illinois. Another is an oak gavel
made from the tree under which the
Republican party was organized in
1856, at Jackson, Michigan. A third
is Of silver, surrounded with gold
bands, presented by Chicago firm.
The last, presented to the Permanent
Chairman of the Convention, was pre-
sented by the Mayor of Chicago, and
is an elegant affair, twelve inches in
length, weighing thirty-three ounces,
twenty-five of which are of silver, and
eight of gold. The handle is nine
inches in length, of solid silver, twist
ed, at the top of which are two
escutcheons of the United States in
gold and silver. Above this is the
American eagle, bearing on its back
the gavel proper, which is Of silver,
bearing upon it the names Of the
thirty-eight States of the Union. At
each end is heavy gold plate, upon
one of which is three carat diamond,
and at the other end is engraved:
"Presented to the National Republi-
can Convention Of 1888, by His Honor
the Mayor, on behalf of the citizens
of Chicago"

Directors more for their money than
the Jackson coal men can furnish
Then our local coal men have been
treated with indignity in the matter
They have really not been treated
with politeness they complain.
The coal to fill this contract is to
be furnished by McClintick & Smith,
of the Wellston Coal Co. f the Di-
rectors Of Longview would only admit
it, the real reason why they bought
Jackson coal is because it is the most
economical and the most satisfactory
coal in the market to burn. The
charge that Jackson coal was submit
ted to scientific test at the Cincin-
natl Water Works, and found hard
and slaty and dearer than other Goals,
is not true. The fact is that exactly
the contrary is true. Capt. Allen Heg-
ler, of Washington, who is largely in
terested in the coal business
in this county, opened and de-
veloped the mine from which the
Longview contract is to be filled, in
1873. In September, 1874, he sent a
sample car to the Cincinnati Water
Works Co., and a scientific test was
made at that institution on the 9th
day Of September, 1874, under the di-
rection Of Americus Warder, engineer.
That test showed that Jackson coal
yields 1888 per cent more heat than
the best Pittsburg Youghiogheny, and
20 per cent more heat than either
Hooking Valley or Straitsville. If
any Cincinnati coal dealer wants the
proof for the above, it can be had
from the official records of the Cincin-
natl Water Works of the above date.
Tests made by engineers Of the Cham
pion Bar and Knife Co., Champion
Machine Co., Whitley, Fassler & Kel-
ly, Springfield Fire Department, and
number of other Of the Springfield,
Ohio, institutions, are to exactly the
same effect.
The chief difficulty with Cincinnati
people, we apprehend, is, that they are
afraid that this contract will be per-
manently lost to them after Jackson
coal is thoroughly tested, as it will be
by years consumption. During the
low water last winter, when it was
impossible for manufacturers in the
region around Cincinnati to secure
river coal, Jackson coal was shipped
in to help out in their extremity, and
in almost every case as fast as the con-
tracts of the concerns that thus used |
Jackson coal have expired, they have
made new contracts with Jackson coun-
ty dealers for their supply. A few years
ago coal was shipped almost exclusive
ly to Springfield and Dayton. Now
it goes to more than a hundred towns
in Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, and as
Far West as Nebraska. As fast as in
broduced into any market, it becomes
The leading coal Of the market.
With the amount Of capital, energy
and talent that is becoming identified
with the coal business of the county,
inside the next five years Jackson
coal will be the best known article of
;he kind in the United States.

A Word From Barnum,

An intimate friend of MIR. w. II. Bar
mum, and high official of the govern
ment, wrote TO him few days ago ask
ing him for clear statement Of the situa-
tion in Connecticut. The reply is receiv-
ed. IL was brief and TO the point, and in
it the veteran politician said that there
was no reasonable ground for doubt as to
the success Of Cleveland and Thurman in
Connecticut. That the tariff agitation
had stirred the little state from center to
circumference was a fact, but statements
to the effect that all the changes
which followed we're to the disadvantages
of the democracy were misleading in the
extreme. In fact the reverse was true.
The value Of the opinions expressed in the
letter rest upon the fact that the epistle
was received by one Of the most intimate
political and social friends Mr.. Barnum
has in the world'-St. Louis Republic.
