Is the virtue gone out of the standing
Democratic scare-crow.
That Mr.. Jack Skelly, Caucasian and
Democrat OF Brooklyn, n. Y, should be
pounded all over the stage, and finally
knocked outside the ropes in eiehtrounds,
is an alarming demonstration of Negro
Domination in capital letters. Force of
this sort can never be permitted if the
white race is to retain its supremacy. Is
civilization failure, and is the Caucasian
played out? What is to protect us against
the horrors of black supremacy if-the co..
ored pugilist is permitted to slug the
white race in this barbarous but effective
fashion?
After certain esteemed Democratic CO.
temporaries have regained speech-which
may be suspended by the first horror at
this awful thrashing of white man by
negro-we may expect a loud demand for
a new kind of force bill to prohibit such
terrible encroachments on the social and
professional sphere of the superior race.

MONOPOLIsTIC PLANS.

The investigation of the anthracite coal
combination by New York legislative
committee, which has been dragging along
for months, evolved some very remarka-
BILE testimony from Mr.. A. A. Mcleod
on Wednesday. At hearing early after
the formation of the combination Mcleod
testified to the effect that the deal was
not expected to advance prices. On the
contrary it was its purpose to introduce
economies in the production and handling
of coal This uniform purpose, in profess
sion, of all monopolistic combinations hav-
ing resulted in the usual practice of ad-
vancing prices about dollar per ton, the
occasion seemed a very good one for Mr..
Mcleod to explain.
No one can accuse him of having do dyed
that function. He explained to a degree
that took the breath out of the committee.
1t was misconstruction of his remarks to
suppose that there was to be no advance
on the abnormal and depressed prices of
January, 1892. These prices were pro-
duced by ruinous competition, as Mr.
Mcleod AYERS, with an unusual recogni-
tion of the purpose of cutthroat wars to
force combination. As compared with
the prices of July, 1891, there has been
an advance of 37x cents, and another of
25 cents is ordered. This little addition of
S25, ,000, 600 to the coal bill of the con-
sumers, he thinks, ought not to be OBJ
jected to since anything less amounts to
an actual loss on the production of
coal.
However, Mcleod is going to make mat
tiers all right by scheme which he un-
folded for the first time before the dazzled
eyes of the committee. This is nothing
more or less than the establishment of a
monopoly in the wholesale and retail
trade of New York City. Of course, like
all other monopolies, this will decrease
charges. They always do-when their
prospectus is before the legislative COM
mittee-and Mcleod puts the saving to
the consumer at rs cents per ton. After
all the outsiders in the anthracite coal
trade have been wiped out everything will
be lovely. The only reason why the Read
ing has not introduced this charming little
reform already is that it has been Char
assed by inimical legislation"
A large amount Of commentary is DOS
sible on the suggestions of this statement
The first is that in its showing the litiga-
ton is more important than McLeod's
other utterances would suggest. A short
time ago the decision Of a New jersey
court was of no more importance to the
Reading than to the Sioux Indians. Now
it seems to have hampered his benefcent
scheme of extending the monopoly to the
point where the coal is dumped on the
sidewalk. Then, too, if the
scheme contemplates reducing charges to
the consumer IS cents, why is it neces-
sary to await monopoly? The man or
who sells coal 70 cents per
ION cheaper than anyone else should not
rely on external influences to shut out |

POIETS For ACTION.

The Medical Neacs of last week contains
large addition to the cholera literatu re
of the day from the pens of eminent
specialists. The most prominent article
is by DR.. E. o. Shakespeare, of PhiladeL
phia, and its points are such as should re
ceive national attention.
The two conclusions which Dr.. Shake
speare makes clear by exhaustive dis
cussion are: First, what THE DISPATCH
has held ever since an incursion of
cholera was threatened, that complete
safeguard is only to be interposed by the
suspension of immigration during the
period of danger. The facts which made
this already evident are added to and en-
forced by this undoubted authority.
DR.. ShakeSpeare'S main point, however,
is the equally strong one that the Ma
tional Government should take charge of
quarantine at all frontiers. The essay
shows at length that State quarantine
necessarily varies in efficiency, and in the
majority of cases is not Supplied with the
accommodations and appliances neces-
sary for such an emergency. 1t also
demonstrates that the money loss of a
single epidemic overbalances the cost of
maintaining the best quarantine at all
points of entry for a century. 1t points
out that national quarantine would be
uniform in its action, and, properly Or
ganized, it would command means of ef-
ficiency impossible under the present locs :
