The question Of the final exhaustion
of the coal beds Of the Old World
and the problem of what would then
succeed coal as a fuel has led a Ger
man publication to investigate the
area of coal beds outside North
America. 1t is found that Europe
has coal deposits Of 10000 miles
area; Asia three times that amount
and South America is rich in that
mineral. AS there is coal enough to
supply the world for several years
yet, it would seem as though the most
important question at present is how
to get the wherewithal to purchase
enough for present needs.

BISHOP IRELAND ON I'll
Is CENSE.

Fergus Falls Journal: It having
been reported that Archbishop Ire
land, the great leader Of the high
license movement in this state had
recently renowned the high license
law and declared for constitutional
prohibition, Ex-Gov. McGill wrote q
liue to the good bishop asking what
truth, if any, there was i'll the rumor,
and received in reply the following
letter which we are permitted to.
publish. It will be seen that the
bishop, while he would prefer to see
ali the saloons blotted from the face
Of the earth, does not regard prohibit
ton as practicable and still believes
in the restrictive legislation secured
during Gov McGill's administration.
The position he takes is the position
the republican party of this state
holds. But here is-his letter:
THE ARCHDIOCESE OF ST.. PAUL.
ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 3, 1889. !
Dear Sir: thank you for your
kind letter inquiriny as to my present
position toward high license. am
anxious, I assure you, that you would
not have an OCCASION to misapprehcnd
my sentiments. Well, I anu now as
in the past with you for high license.
l have not denounced it. [ would be
very sorry to do so. High license
has done too much good in Minnesota
and elsewhere thai I should denounce
| it.
The misunderstanding in some
minds lately about my position arose
from remarks Of mine at u banquet Of
total abstainers in Minneapolis. l
there spoke in strong language against
the saloons, declaring that they
ought to be blutted off the face of the
earth. I mentioned neither prohibi-
ton nor high license. The Voice"
took up my words as token Of my
conversion to prohibition, and since
then am frequently receiving such
letters of inquiry as yours.
OF course I would like to see
saloons blotted off the face of the
earth. But IN large cities public
opinion is not ripe for prohibition,
and good restrictive laws, such as
those you signed, are the practical
remedies to be sought out.
Hoping that you are well and still
interested in the welfare If the great
state, am, my dear sir, very sim
cereIy, etc.
JOHN IRELAND.
