placed on the stand and testified that
he was auditor of the railroad company
aud also auditor Of the Lexington coal
company and of ali other mining prop
erty owned by the railroad company.
In answer TO direct questions he SAID
that practically all the coal cOmpany's
stock was owned by the railroad COM
pany. Some of the stock was held by
individuals in trust for the railroad
company. lie held one share himself.
The coal business was regarded as one
OF the regular departments of the road
Just as much as freight traffic was.
Upon further examination Mr.. Warner
testified that the cost of coal at the
mines was 81 40 per ton and was
hauled to Kansas City for 6j cents u
ton, making a total cost of 81 O5 per
ton. The BOlen coal company
sold the coal for 81 per ton.
This feat was possible because
the Bolcn coal company was al
lowed a rebate of 90 cents a ton,
which other dealers did not receive.

The constitution of the state of Mis-
souri,, supplemented by the statute law,
forbids Il railroad company from ell
gaging in any business other than that
authorized by it's charter. The Mis-.
souri, Pacific railway company seems
to defy the state to enforce this law.
The Intelligencer has said a great deal
upon this point in the past, as called
out by the roads persistence in doing
a coal business. We desire to see our
mines developed, and we also wish to
see the road do well, but precedent to
these things mnst come obedience 10
law. There Is no getting around that;
there is no evading it; there Is no
Sinking it. Some years ago during
the big railroad strike, when
killed all engine in Old Town, we said
that the act was al incendiary one;
more, that the man who did it had an
equal right to fire our house. Such
acts were, of course, intolerable. the
strong arm of the law interposed, and
pretty soon order vas restored, and
life and property were once more safe.
Ii It was criminal and wrong in a poor
misguided wretch to kill an engine,
thereby violating law, how much more
SO is it for a great and intelligent cor
poration to defy and set at naught the
authority of the state? A man may be
a dynamiter with a bomb in his hand;
another may be equally as much 80
who by reason of bis wealth presumes
to lrample under foot the law of the
land. Of the two the latter is the more
dangerous, because the violence of the
first is of that character that at once
alarms the community and brings it 10
defend itself, while that of the second
is insidious, and easily obscured by
the %elOquence of special pleaders. The
railroad commissioners have carefully
and patiently heard the case against
the Missouri Pacific railroad, and its
defense. 1t is now their duty so to act
that the dignity aud power of the state
may be vindicated.

In the French chamber of deputies
Nj. Roche moved that the house grant a
credit of 915, 900 francs to complete the
ironclads now in course of construc-
ton. Admiral Krantz, minister OF
marine, replied that the SUN mentioned
would not be sufficient for the work.
He said that a serious effort would be
necessary in order to bring Frances
naval strength up to a proper standard.
The government, he said, would soon
ask a credit of so, 900, 900 francs or
60, 200, 900 francs for naval improve
ments. 1t is thought that the sum will
be easily secured as there is a strong
feeling in favor of a%ugmenting the
magnificent fleet which Is now only
