COAL T

Elsewhere we print the decision of
the railroad commissioners in the Nc
Grew Seawcll coal case.
While discrimination does not seem
to have been proven, yet sufficient was
shown to ecu u reduction of 10 cents
per ton on coal for a fifty five mile
haul on the Missouri Pacific road,
which takes in all of our mines a little
further east than Dover. Ten cents
a ton difference in the price of freight
on coal is a big thing to the operator,
and we hope to see as a result quite All
impetus to coal mining In the Lexing-
ton vein during the winter. The com
mis- toner's very properly advert to the
fact that while the constitution forbids
a corporation to do other business than
that provided for in its charter, the
Legislature has &C far failed to pass a
statute giving this provision OF the
constitution vitality and life. We are
inclined to think the charge, not made
by the railroad commission, but by
others, that this has been because the
railroad lobby succeeded in preventing
it, unfounded. The truth appears to
be that the legislature has not had its
attention sufficiently brought to bear
upon this %point-nO one has felt called
on, particularly, 10 advocate it; freight
reductions, prevention of freight dis
ordinations, pools, etc., having more
fully occupied the attention of legisla-
tors who were willing and anxious to
regulate the railroads as they should
be.
However this may be the necessity
for legislation on the point has long
been recognized and advocated by the
Intelligencer, and we hope soon to see
it on the statute books. 1t will be TO
the benefit of all concerned that the
question shall be finally settled.
In the meantime we thank the rail-
road commission for its action and
congratulate the coal operators and
the people of Lexington and
vicinity on the prospect OF such
a business next winter as they
have moi seen for MANY years.

Judge Field, of Kansas City, in the
quo Warranto proceedings brought by
Col. Geo. W. Belt to test the legality of
Mr.. William S%tonestreet's appointment
by Gov. Francis as coal oil inspector of
Kansas City, decided, last Saturday,
that MI. Stonestreet's appointment was
illegal. The first appointment to this
Office was made June Is, 1879, and
Governor Francis held that the terms
of the Office ended on June Is, every
two years thereafter, no matter when
o for how long appointees might be
commissioned. This seems to have
been the presumption and practice in
most of the places where there were
appointments to this Office, as was
shown by the historical roster which
we printed some weeks ago, but Judge
Field holds that Col. Belt was properly
and legally appointed for two years,
and that the governor has no right to
remove him from office by the appoint
ment OF another. Mr.. Stonestreet was
in possession of the Office, but has given
way 10 Col. Belt. He will appeal from
the decision of Judge Field, and should
he be successful Col. Belt will have TO
turn over to him the fees he will re-
ceive in the mean time. An attempt
will be made to have the matter finally
adjudicated by October. Tho case is
an important one, as upon its settle
ment depend the appointment OF sew
eral other coal oil inspectors.

ate in a serious injury TO the sugar

For the intelligence and distinction
and ability of the leaders in the Irish
movements and organizations in this
country, many of them and their &C,
tions are peculiar in the extreme. At
recent great National Convention
of an Irish society a resolution was
to be offered commencing the Nun
of Kenmare for her efforts in behalf
of suffering Ireland. The secret
word went around. "She is sus-
pect," and the conscience searchers
with their probes of charity pointed
in the fire of their charity hac ac-
compliShed their end,-the Gar of
New York had won another victory
over faith and mo-als,-had conquer
ed woman. The men who branded
DR.. Cronin as suspect" were of
the same stripe.
Another great Irish leader and
American patriot found himself in
Rome during the election of 1888.
Rome to him was the sublimest port
this side of the gates of st. Peter.
Thoughts and words only fit for

THE NAME AMERICA.

The bulletin of the Paris geograph-
ical society, which has just been is
sued, contains an account by M.
Jules Maroon of certain further re.
searches which he has made into the
origin of the name A" America"
The popular notion that America
was so called from the Christian
name of AmerIgo Vespucci is, he
says, wholly unfounded and he sums
up his conclusion in this way: J..
Amerique is the Indian name of the
mountains between Juigalpa and
Libertad in the Providence of Chon
tales, which separates Lake Nicarag-
VA froEa the Mosquito coast. The word
in the Maya language signifies " the
windy country" or the country
where the wind blows always"
2. The Christian name of Vespucci
was Alberico in Italian and Spanish.
Albericus in Latin. This particular
name is subject to an enormous
number of variations, as the nomen,
clature and calendars of Italian and
Spanish saints of the period show;
but nowhere is there any such vari,
alton of Americas, Amerrigo, AImer-
igo, &c, and none of these is either
a diminutive of variation in use in
Italy, Spain or France, for Alberico
or Albert. 4. Before 1907, when Jean
Basin of Saint Die published the
name, it is not to be found in anv
printed document, nor even in any
manuscript of recognized and incon.
testible authority. There is no doubt
that Columbus and Vespucci went
along the Mosquito coast at the feet
of the Sierra Amerrique and that
the name was reported by the
officers and men of these expeditions.
and Schuner, the geosrapher, declar-
ed i'm 1916 that the name was already
popular in Europe.
