LilacS in February.

says The open weather thus far this winter
brings to the mind of one Of your readers-an
old resident-the fact that, when he was living
in New York city in the month of February,
lS4l. lilacs and other early flowers were in full
bloom. and SO continued until after the inaug-
uration of Gen. Harrison. Subsequently there
was more or less cold weather. and in the early
part of April, the night previous to the charter
tmayoralty) election, the severest snow storm
of the winter set in, completely blocking the

succeeded in reaching Jones' Wood (59th
street,, and there was forced to unharness the
horses and leave the sleigh by the wayside. As
matter of fact, however, the snow disap-

"FIxED. CAPITAL.
The Perishable Quality Of Nearly All
Forms Of Investments.

From the Forum.
1t is curious to observe that the only relics of
the great Roman empire which now have any
actuaLatility among men are the Roman road
and the Roman law; the one, which was con-
structed to open the way for conquest remains
an open way for commerce; the other remains
at the foundation of our civil organization; all
else has vanished except Roman literature and
art OF all the forms of capital which at the
present day are springing into existence per-
haps less will remain even a century hence
than now remains of the capital or products Of
the Roman empire, if we except the opening of
the ways. The term ''fixed capital is some
times used to distinguish the less perishable
forms of capital from those which are but use
full only for the day; but there is nothing fixed
except the law Of change. There are factories
in existence which purport to be fifty years
old; but within that time the motive power and
ali the machinery has changed once, twice, or
thrice; where land can be had true economy may
now consist in taking down the high building
of five or six stories piled one upon another,
and in reconstructing the mill only one or two
stories above the ground. Who can tell when
the next inventor will appear who will destroy
all the rolling-stock of the railways Who can
tell how long the people will be satisfied with
the present crude and unscientific methods of
constructing dwelling houses? What useful

form to-day that is more than few years old?
What permanent improvement have we made
on the face of the land even in. this country,
modern as it is, except in leveling the hills,
piercing the mountains. filling up the valleys,
and laying down the ways of commerce? All
that we can do is to move something; we can
make nothing. And when we have opened the
way. laid the rail, and brought the line to the
seaboard. Why do we obstruct the dis
tribution of our own product, why do
we construct legal barriers to COM

Hard-COal Trade.
THE DEALERS MAY FORCE THE COMPANIES TO RI
DUCE PRICES.

THE DEALERS MAY FORCE THE COMPANIES TO RE-
DUCE PRICES.
A Philadelphia special to the Baltimore
American says: The hard-coal trade is still
almost stagnant, and to-day there were rumors
that the wholesale dealers would try to force
the companies to make reductions III prices. A
prominent official of the Reading coal and iron
company said tina: lie doubted whether the
dealers contemplated such a movement. and
that il would be useless If they did He added.
The coal trade is quiet just now. owing greatly
to the long-continued mild weather. The
trouble is in warm weather the demand for
domestic sizes falls of considerably and stocks
accumulate rapidly. The only remedy for this
state of affairs is to restrict the output and
this has been done by all large coal companies
and several of the individual producers. The
Lehigh coal and navigation company shut
down its thirteen collieries last week. and they
opened few of them this week TO get out coal
to fill contracts and supply the engines of the
road. We have shut down all the collieries we
can possibly spare. and we shall keep them
closed until We find that we can use more coal
than We now produce. l think that few
weeks OF cold weather would start us going all
right again. No concessions in prices have
been made, and none will be made. A few in
dlvidual producers have made concessions in
some instances, but that has not changed the
situation. This will be good coal year not
withstanding the late mild weather and We
Will mine and sell more coal than last wear.
While our expense will be much smaller.

II is stated by numerous Idaho pa
pcrs that owners Of big herds Of cat
tie and sheep in this Territory are OPP
posed TO Statehood on the ground
that Statehood will tend to increase
our population, build up the Terrific
ry, aud as a result the public lands
will be settled upon rapidly, and thus
inevitably decrease the big stock
ranges. So it appears that the only
opposition to Statehood comes from
those who are well aware of the
benefits that will follow in the way
Of increased population and wealth,
and as natural consequence an in
crease of the yield of precious metals,
and the desert places will be made
to bloom like daisy. These stock
men do not want boom for Idaho,
for fear it will Interfere, to an extent,
with their monopoly of the public
domain. That is, they would fight
off prosperity for the Territory as a
whole in order to hold full possession
of the wide areas of grazing lands
These stock men used very poor
judgment in making known their
grounds of opposition. 1t will in
crease the vote for Statehood.
