Weekly Coal Report.

The anthracite coal trade does not
display increased activity in any particu-
lar, The demand for the domestic sizes
does not improve materially, but the fur
mace and steam sizes continue in good re-
quest and the consumption of them is
fully equal to the supply. The output of
anthracite for February, according to the
official figures of the Chief of Bureau of
Statistics, John H. Jones, fell over quar-
ter of a million tons behind the produc-
ton for the corresponding period of last
year, and it was also nearly $50, 600 tons
less than the previously estimated ton
mage for that month. The decreased pro-
between the Wyoming, Lehigh and
Schuylkill regions, indicating that all OF
the larger mining and carrying corpora.
tions are working in close harmony foi
mutual benefit, and we are informed that
this policy will most likely be continued
throughout the year. The general sales
agents of the anthracite producing inter
ests will meet again at New York to-day
to discuss the situation of the coal
trade and the question of reducing
prices, but there is not mucn likelihood
of any change being made while the de-
mand for coal continues so light as it is
at present. The individual operators are
clamoring for reduction in the rate of
tolls. both for the line and tidewater bust
ness, but those well posted on the situa-
ton are of the opinion that there will not
be any reduction in tolls while the prices
for coal continue to rule so low.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
March 10, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 52S, ,664 tons,
compared with 50S, ,53l tons in the cores
ponding week last year, an increase of
20, 1873 tons. The total amount of an
thracte mined thus far in the year 1890
was 5,175, l40 tons compared with $780,
941 tons for the same period last year, a
decrease of 5S5, ,S0l tons.-Ledger.

The slippery congressman who voted
against free coinage which would have
given silver fixed and unvarylhg value
Of s1.29 evidently knew what they were
doing when they enacted the present law.
The fluctuations in price have been a
boon to Mr.. WINDOWS Wall street
friends, and some of them have realized
handsomely on their speculations. The
ST. Louis Globe Democrat, however,
makes charge that should be promptly
denied or explained. 1t AYERS in 80
many words that the ill was passed by
the votes Of men who were pecuniarily
interested in it's enactment and that
they filed their own pockets at the ex-
pense of the silver miners. Says this
eminent republican journal:
The rise of silver has put into the pockets
of senators and representatives of this con-
gress 81 100000. The largest amount of in
dividual profit is $4,000. That goes to
the credit Of western senator. The small
est amount is $1,000, which will help out
the campaign expenses Of a western rep
resentative who finds it hard work to make
both ends meet on his salary. Twelve SEN
stors and fifteen representatives. participated
in this handsome cleanup of a sure thing
speculation.
This is serious business. Who are
these mon who have gambled with the
peoples interests? Do any of them live
IN Montana? Perhaps Mr.. Carter might
profitably tack this on to the list of ex-
plantations that he is to make on his re-
turn to Montana.

INSERTION AND ELIMINATION.

ANSLN AAoN AMI LAAMlNAIlON.
One of the most telling points made
by Senator Turpie of Indiana. in his
great speech in the Montana senatorial
contest was that against tho unlawful
act of the territorial returning board in
the vote of precinct "a. This
was his striking way of stating the case:
II the senator's will turn to page o5 of
the statement of facts" they will find
there the abstract of the returns from Sill
yer Bow county, as made by the county
clerk on the 3lst day of October. 1889. They
will ind about two-thirds of the way down
the column precinct No, %, called Grey
sons Springs. They will find opposite that
precinct no votes recorded. The spaces are
columned; they are marked like the other
spaces; but there are no figures in them.
The clerk certlfies in his return that there
was no election held there. Why did not
the territorial returning board insert in
these vacant spaces opposite Greyson's
Springs sufficient number of votes to elect
their candidates from the county of Silver
Bow? That would have been just az iusti-
fable and just as legal and as much au-
thorized as what they did do, and it would
have made certificate and would have
furnished their spurious members with a
crcdential good at least on its face, which
their present credential is not. Those
spaces are yet empty; they are yet unoccu-
pied.
Now what was the difference be. ween in
sertinR vote not in the abstract and ex-
Guiding vote which was in it? lam not a
casuist to determine such refined questions
as the difference between elimination and
insertion, as the difference between an cleo
ton by elimination and one by insertion.
do not think there is any difference be-
tween the two acts. They had az much
right to do the one az the other. There was
as much law to Justify the one az the
other.

THE ARTFUL DODGER.

Mr.. Thomas H. Carter, who was elected
to the lower house of congress last year,
and was supposed to represent the state
of Montana, is making desperate effort
to side-track the more important issues
of this campaign. In an inspired inter-
view printed in the Herald, he seeks to
throw on Governor Toole the blame for
his own failure to get that 5000 due
Montana for expenses ofzthe constitu-
tional convention. Mr.. Carter says:
"The governor has furnished no data
whatever, although the matter was
called to his attention some time ago. F."
Oh, the artful dodger! So he has been
calling the governors attention to it.
In the light of the correspondence that
has boon published on the subject, we
have been laboring under the impression
that it was the governor who called Mr..
Carriers attention to it. The facts
are simply these: The account,
with the proper memorial from the con-
stitutional convention, was forwarded to
Washington by the officers of that body.
Mr.. Carter had it referred, and no more
was heard OF it until the governor of
Montana logged the representatives
memory in letter of February q last.
Mr.. Carter's reply on March II acknowl-
edged having received the account, but
said the unexplained balance of $3.50 in
the treasury stood in the way of getting
the $1,000. This hitherto unexplanel bal
ance was explained, with an affidavit to
back it, as we're all the other items.
Still congress adjourned without paying
the bill. Mr.. Carter should remember
that he was sent to Washington to look
the necessary data, and if he wanted
anything else it was his duty to ask for
it. He was the lawyer in the case and
the state of Montana was his client.
When it comes to the point of the client
doing all the work, there will be no use
for lawyers. No, Mr.. Carter, it is no use
to plead neglect on somebody else's part.
It was your own. Neither is it any use
to try and draw Montana's governor
into discussion on matter like this,
and have the other issues switched off
on siding. The matter of that $4,000
can be attended to by your successor, the
Hon. W. w. Dixon. You cannot dodge
the main charges against you--ths fail
ure to pass that free coinage bill by
your vote, and your support of the tariff
bill, which makes every man, woman
and child in Montana pay from 10 to so
per cent. more for what they consume,
without any corresponding benefits.
