Interesting Facts for Local Dealers
 and Users of Anthracite.
 The sales agents of the anthracite coal companies will meet in Philadel- dhia Thursday to discuss the question whether it is wise to fix the opening spring prices now or later on. There is no trade now and none is expected until the spring prices are made. At present the trade is absolutely stagnant and it is said there is not single order in Phila- delphia for the New England trade.
 Stove coal and chestnut are a drug in the market. Coxe Brothers are said to be selling stove coal ill New York at $3 50 per ton.

White genuine pea coal sells for $2.9O at tide, but nets the operator fifteen more than chestnut The bituminous shippers have agreed to continue last year pool, and have fixed prices at $2. SO in Baltimore and Phila- delphia and $3,50 alongside in New York. It is well understood, however, that these prices are not to be adhered to- The trade this year opened March 1, but so far not a single contract has been taken.

DISPERSED FOR THE YEAR.

The Decree of the Pope Regarding the Fast of the Lenten Season. The following circular letter has been issued by Right Rev Bishop McMahon to the priests of the Hartford diocese:
 EPISCOPAL RESIDENCE,
 HARTFORD, CONN.,, March 10, 1890 Rev Dear Sir-You are hereby instruct ed to make known to the people of your charge, that, by virtue of decree lately received from Our Most Holy Father, Pope Leo XIII, they are dispensed for the present year from the customary abstinence and fast of the lenten season; the Friday abstinence, practised during the year, to be alone observed.
 It is the wish, however, of the sovere- ign pontiff. that the Catholic faithful, while enjoying so great n benefit from the indulgence of Holy Mother church. in places recently visited by serious epidemic, should redouble during this blessed season. their endeavors to prac- tice other works of penance. and to ob- serve more carefully Catholic eXero ises of devotion.
 am. Rev Dear Sir.
 Yours Sincerely in Christ,

 Bishop of Hartford. William Maher, D. D.,

THE CASE OF CASHIER HICKS.
A Strong Effort Being Made to Secure
 His Release.

<A S'GOAb< De1uR 10O0 to Secure
 His Release.
 STAFFORD STRINGS, March 11,-Much interest is taken here over the petition that is being circulated for the release of R. H. Hicks from states prison, where he is serving out four years sen tence. He has been in prison about two years. and the sentence was generally crime. It will 6e remembered that Hicks was one of Stafford Springs most prominent citizens and had the respect and esteem of all the citizens, up to the time of the embezzlement. He was cashier of the Stafford National bank and treasurer of thu Stafford Savings bank. which institutions were badly in volved at the time. He was also secre- tary and treasurer of the Holland County Agricultural society, and interested in nearly all of Stafford's business enter prises. His downfall was a great blow to Stafford. and there is quite a diff ference of opinion as to signing the peti- tion, although he has many friends in Stafford, who will work hard for his re- lease. It is understood that ex-Congress- man Buck has interested himself in the matter.

PLUMB HEDGING.

Two years ago, Senator Plumb would
not have dared to declare in favor of
such a reduction in the tariff tax as was
then demanded by the democrats. Last
week, this same senator, who with Mr..
Blame, in 1888, would not surrender
any part of the admirable protective
system, wrote to George Innes, of Law
renee, as follows:
Il am glad indeed to note your COM
mendation of my position upon the tar
if question, Probably we shall not
agree as to what ought to be done, but
myself am entirely persuaded that the
western people are not to be benefited
by an indiscriminate increase in the
duties levied upon imported merchan-
disc, and especially on those things
which go into universal consumption.
In this matter, as in all others, the in
tereSts Of my constituents are my inter
eSts and whatever their interests call
for gladly aid in accomplishing.

MISUNDERSTANDING OUTLOOK

There never was better opportuni-
ty offered the democrats IN this con-
gressiOnal district to elect their nomi-
nee than is presented this year. A
feeling of general unrest and dissatis-
faction exists at the action of the re-
publican majority in the lower house of
congress and thousands of republicans
who voted for Judge Peters in 1888
would, could they now recall their
votes. cast them for Mr.. Eby, the dem
ocratic nominee.
The fact is that Col. Bickel, the nom
inee of the democrats in 1884, Mr..
George, the nominee of 1886 and Mr..
Ely, the nominee of 1888, were all bet
ter men for the people than Judge
Peters; they were all opposed to the
national banking law; they were all
pledged to tariff reform; they fought
the formation and continuance of trusts
and monOpolies; they were in favor of
an increased circulating currency; they
were all for the free coinage of silver:
they were openly for reform of trans
pOrtation rates. Notwithstanding that
these men were all we'll suited for the
position they sought and notwlthstand-
ing they were candidates on platforms
that the masses are now clamoring to
get OH, Bickel, George and Ely were de-
| feated.
Now, this year, 1890, the democrats
of this congressional district have
called another convention and at Pratt
on the 10Th of August, they propose
nominating another good man as their
candidate for congress, and though
there is not candidate yet announced
it is safe to say that the nominee will
be in hearty accord with the principles
of the party and if he is, he will stand
on a platform broad enough to accom-
modate every one who really desires re-
form in government-every one who is
weary of republican misrule in the in
terest Of eastern monopOlists.

to say that this is a different opinion
