THE COAL QUESTION.

The latest phase of the pending negotia-
tions for the consolidation of the river coal
interests into one corporation, is a rumor to
the effect that some of the coal men, in view
of the improving tone of the market and
the possible reduction of the gas supply in
the Ohio fields, are disposed to withdraw
from the negotiation. The statement is
likely to be about as authentic as the others
which have preceded it; but it is of interest
as indicating that the proposition is not
bound to experience entirely smooth slid
ing.
There is one view of the project in which
it is likely to have some Importance for
Pittsburg, beyond its character of consoli-
dation of an industry which sells its prod
uct wholly to other cities. The talk of
gradual failure of the gas supply is not in
our opinion. well founded. But there is
enough of 1t to remind Pittsburg of the pos
sibility that, some time or other, it may be
forced to resume the use of coal. When
that time comes and Pittsburg returns to its
position of the chief consumer of coal in
the country, it will be all-important to have
d lTSS pSlLI1Ou Al every TIC
coal industry.
The proposed combination cannot monop-
olize the down-river markets for coal. 1t
will have to go far beyond its present di-
mensions to even monopolize this market.
But if this city ever has to fall back on the
coal supply as the foundation of all its in
dustries, it will not be likely to advance the
general prosperity to have even the one
branch of the coal trade, furnishing the
nearest and cheapest coal, under the control
of single CORPORATION, which, so far as can
be seen, would be mainly controlled by for
eign capital.
In that view the reported turn against the
consummation of the syndicate is not to be
regretted on the part of Pittsburg. The Or
ganization which has brought the coal trade
to its present magnitude will probably serve
its legitimate purposes for the future.

THE RELIEF COMMITTEES WORK.

The Pittsburg Relief Committee for the
Johnstown sufferers, practically wound up
its work yesterday by turning over balance
of 100000 to the State Relief Commls-
sioner As this ends its career, with the ex-
ception Of auditing and closing accounts,
word or two of its work is not out of place.
The Pittsburg Relief Committee was
organized before communication was opened
with Johnstown. When it commenced its
work the full extent of the disaster was not
known. But, with the knowledge that a
crushing blow had been dealt to that place,
and that the people were in need, it
promptly took hold of the task
of relieving them. Trains with
supplies were started to Johnstown before
railroad communication was reopened. The
first relief that reached that city was sent
from Pittsburg. The first work at clearing
away the debris was done by Pittsburg
labor and Pittsburg money.
The credit of having led the way in this
urgent and noble work is due 10 the COM
mittee which wound up its business yester-
nay. That should cause it to be remembered
while the great calamity is.

Commodore Vanderbilt Worked Hard for

"Yes, old Commodore Vanderbilt was

HARMONY TO ORDER.

The meeting of the local leaders of the
two Republican factions, yesterday, in
which the olive branch was waved and the
kiss OF peace handed around, was extremely
harmonious on the surface. Nevertheless
it would not be safe to take it as an IRON
bound insurance policy that each side will
have fair share of the patronage, or that
knives may not be unsheathed before all
the political plums are finally disposed Of
The principle that local differences must
be buried in order to unite the party for the
victory in the State campaign, is an un-
doubted axiom in party ethics Neither
Messrs. Finn, Neeb nor Robertson on one
side, nor Bayne, Warmcastle nor Mexican on
the other, could dissent from that principle
with any respect to their positions as party
men. Their earnestness in meeting each
other halfway and declaring that they are
going to pull together for the purpose of
putting in ex-Speaker Boyer to administer
upon the State finances, is an earnest of
fheir passionate determination to forget all
about the spoils and to think of nothing but
party victory.
Nevertheless when there are postoffices to
distribute, State Senators to elect, Guberna-
torial chairs to fill, and a United States
Senator to choose, it is more than possible
that all this harmony may yet develop some
positive notes of discord.

TIE PLACE FOR THE FAIR.

While New York and Chicago are in the
forefront clamorous for the Worlds Fair,
no sufficient argument has yet been ad-
vsnced why that great exposition should
not be held at the nations capital. Pass

Use to performance, both at New York and
Chica go, there is absolutely no good reason
why Washington should not be selected.
It is more centrally situated than New
York, as respects the United States; it is a
more convenient place for foreign exhibit
ors and visitors than Chicago would be.
The one consideration that is urged both
in behalf OF New York and Chicago, viz:
their commercial vastness should really be
accounted their chief drawback. Not only
would the din and movement of ordinary
trade at either of these cities make sight
seeing at the Worlds Fair difficult dis
tracing and comparatively unsatisfactory,
but to find the convenient and ample area
for the exhibition is already felt, by New
York at least, to be a perpleXing problem.

those of the rival ella ;mants. 1t is the Gov

enterprise would swiftly supply all the ac-
commodations for the special event.
More than this. Congress in the end is sure
TO be called upon for an appropriation in
this matter. Why not, then, let the nation
make an ample appropriation at once, and
have the nations capital receive, as it
should, the prestige and the benefit of the
great enterprise. We are glad that Pitts
burg was one of the first cities to strike the
right note on this subject. The Plttsburg
Chamber of Commerce, when invited by
other points to express preference in their
favor, promptly and patriotically voted for
Washington. That was the right view, and
The DISPATCH hopes that, notwithstand-
ing the bluster elsewhere, Washington may
yet be pitched upon.

THE GAS SUPPLY.

The usual talk of failure OF the gas sup
ply has come with the advent of sudden
cold wave and the usual development of a
temporary shortage at certain points. The
fact is that the gas companies and the pub
lie are collectively in the same position as
the individuals who found themselves
caught without their thick clothing the
morning of the change. There are more
domestic consumers now than ever. When
the weather turned, all of them turned on
their fires; and the pressure at many points
proved insufficient. This has been the case
at the inception of cold weather every year
since the gas came into use; but it does not
argue any failure in the supply. The most
convincing expression of expert opinion on
that point is the completion by the Phila-
delphia Company of the largest and most
expensive main ever built between this city
and the gas wells.

THE CLUBS AND CIVIL SERVICE.

A report is abroad that the convention of
Republican clubs which is to meet in Pitts
burg this week will be called upon 10 pass
a resolution demanding the repeal of the
civil service law. This is quite credible,
especially with regard to gathering of
those who by their organization, considered
themselves foreor6ained to a share of the
spoils, under the politica. methods of dis
tribution; but inasmuch as the organizations
claim to be Republican it will be for them
to adhere to the authoritative Republican
doctrine.
1t is noticeable that the leading Repub-
lican newspapers at both ends of the State,
show a superiority to the usual level of
political organs, by emphatically opposing
this plan. On the basis that there is such a
thing as principle in politics their oppo-
sition is well founded. 1t NAV be
true that platforms do not amount to much;
but the repeated declarations of the Repub-
lican platform in favor of civil service re-
form must have weight with ali Republican
organizations that are able to recognize any
principle in politics above that of getting
their noses in the trough. The Republican
clubs sought votes for the Republican
party on the platform pledging it to civil
service reform. To deny the platform now
is equivalent to declaring the art of politics
to consist of obtaining votes under false
pretenses.
Another point ought to appeal to the Re
publican clubs. Those who do not hold
Republican doctrine are not Republicans.
By the national platform civil service re-
form is Republican doctrine. Therefore, if
the clubs antagonize the civil service law,
they are not Republicans and would have
no chance in the division Of the offices even
on the political basis.

which reasonable concessions on both
sides could avoid, certainly calls for the
interference of some higher power. But
would it not be questionable exercise of
the judicial power to remove the entire
board from elective Office? In addition to
that, would the necessity of electing new
board hasten the election of the teachers :?
If the Court has power in the matter, may
not committals for contempt prove the
promptest and most efficacious remedy?

From the London tilobe.l
In England there is great variety Of per-
sonal nomenclature, and, though we have
plenty of Smiths, Browns and Robinsons, we
have nothing approaching to the poverty, in
this respect, which charaoterizes many locali-
ties in North Britain. In certain parts Of Scot
land, not only have the surnames been few, but
there has been strong disposition to ring the
changes on very few Christian names. with
the result that the community. In its
desire to distinguish between persons of
precisely the same name, has been
obliged to provide each with special
label or ''to-name," by which he can be known.

"Helen's James" and so on. Such appellations
as these are not necessarily nicknames as we
understand them. Sometimes they are patro-
nymics sometimes they are local In allusion,
sometimes they refer to individual occupations,
sometimes they are personally descriptive,
sometimes they are mere identifcations, 'sig-
nifying nothing"
Occasionally they are simple variations upon
single Christian name. Thus, it may be, one

COLUMBUS. IND, September 2L-Charles
Snyder. who two years ago was married to a
wealthy widow of Hartsville, this county,
has asked the Circuit Court to declare
her insane. He has also begun
suit against two clcrgymen connect
ed with Hartville College to recover
S20, 900 which Mrs. Snyder gave to them under
peculiar circumstances yesterday, and he
stopped payment on 81, 900 check which was
part of the don alton. Mrs. Catherine Snyder
is a member of the United Brethren Church
and very jealous in religious matters. She has
property valued at about $4,000 in her own
right, and until yesterday had in her posses

MIR. Snyder came to this city yesterday to
transact some business, and during his absence
Rev. James Woolford and Isaac Van Sickle,
two trustees of Hartsville College. the United
Brethren Educational Institution at Harts-
vile, made their appearance at his home.
They took the precaution of hiding their
vehicle, and upon entering the house they
closed and locked the doors. it is said. They
remained with Mrs. Snyder for several hours,
and finally were successful in persuading her
to sign over to them, presumably for the bene-
fit of the college, notes and cash to the amount
of $4,000. After securing the money the men
departed,
