"Open the door or I'll punch your

There are many corporations allied in
what is known as the Standard Oil
Trust; yet the report that the trust
agreement between them is to be dis
solved has created little stir in the
money market. A month ago Stan
dard Oil Trust certificates were quoted
at $50; yesterday they were held at
100. The level-headed public knows
very well that, even though the STAN
dard Trust should be dissolved, the

If the anthracite combination shall
carry out its plan of advancing prices
it will doubtless open the way for an
increased consumption Of bituminous
coal" says the Baltimore Manufactm-
ers' Record. just so. The fuel market
is supplied with hard coal, soft coal
and coke. To put up the price Of
hard coal would be to diminish its con
sumption by increasing the use of sub
stitute fuels. A coal monopoly is,
therefore, as impossible as limestone
monopoly or corn monopoly. Every
time the attempt has been made to
build up a '.coal combine" the struc-
ture has tumbled of its own weight.

AIR. Creamer, a member of the House
OF Commons. has made the announce
m mt that pstitions representing 1,o5)
OO0 members Of various industrial or
carnations will be presented to Parlia-
ment immediately in favor Of the
arbitration Of all disputes between
Great Britain and the United States.
The fact is suggestive of the strength
Of industrial organization in England,
Of the advance in public sentiment
there in behalf of the principle Of
arbitration, and of the peculiar sense
of fellowship existing among British
workmen for the toilers of America.
But perhaps its chief Significance lies
in the hint which it conveys that the
boneand sinew Of England have grown
weary of the costly luxury of war, in
which thereis little glo, y for the private
soldier.

SHORT-STOPs.
What the People Are Saving.

The people view the REISSUE of the
10000 r~efunding bonds with suspicion.
because Of the secret methods and unex-
planned causes evident in the whole uran-
saction.
The ordinance was prepared in haste
and rushed through under suspension of
the rules; the last vote had hardly been
announced before the original copy was
taken into the clerks Office to be copied.
Two aldermen, Beckmann and Hoef-
ling, voted in the negative, and to their
inquiries as to the necessity of this re-
issue, were answered In indefinite terms.
The real facts were not given; it did not
appear of record who was asking for this
reissue, but that the original bonds failed
to recite that that they were issued under
charter authority.
The public will remember tina this
$50, 900 refunding bonds were of the batch
of bonds that Mayor Callaghan and
Treasurer Herf went tramping with
through Chicago and New York,-the
SiiCdRO puICudSt1 ItluStu W tdht tutul.
the mayer and treasurer in the presence
OF a notary presented a portion of the
batch (S360.00O) to a New York party,
who refused them; then a MIR.
Pyne took charge Of the bonds
to sell them. During this transac-
ton the mayor telegraphed the city at
tOrney for an opinion sustaining the le-
gality of the refunding bonds; the city
attorney could find no authority for the
issue, and remarked at the time that
these bonds had been issued without con-
he could for the bonds.
The charter was amended by the legis-
lature and the city administration at
tempted TO have this issue validated, but
it was stricken out: the section passed
simply authorized the future issue of re-
funding bonds. The last action of the
city council may stick, but what caused
it? Did the New York party discover the
fact, recently. that the bonds were de-
f~ective, or were they ever disposed of?
Who was 1t that demanded a new issue?
certainly there should be a communica-
ton of record with the city clerk, signed
by some responsible party, demanding a
new issue. If the bonds were good to be-
gin with, the city should not be put to the
expense of a new issue: and the people
would like to know who the party is.
This indictment furnishes another of
the many evidences showing the utter
inability of the present city administra-
ton to properly conduct IN affairs; the
secrecy and mystery surrounding OuT
financial affairs would do credit to a band
of highwaymen.
