In is expected that the house of rep.
resentatives will this week consider tho
resolution providing foran investigation
OF the Reading railroad combination.
No serious opposition is anticipated,
and doubtless the resolution will be
adopted with practical unanimity. The
purpose of the investigation is to ascer.
tain whether the combine of the anthra.
cite coal roads is hostile to public policy,
and it is hardly possible that the com.
mittee can fail to and that it is, since
it is clearly designed to advance the
price of coal to consumers. Certain
localities may be benefited by the COM
bination, but for the country at large it
is a monopoly that must inevitably
prove oppressive.

From the Herald:
1t is altogether probable that the two
thirds rule which has so long prevailed with
respect to the nomination of presidential
candidates in national democratic conven-
tions will be in operation for the last time at
the pending convention. IL is understood
that the national committee will recommend
its abrogation, and will urge the adoption in
its stead OF provision whereby at future
conventions of the party the vote of major
ity will be sufficient to nominate.
With such an array of candidates as the
party has to select from, both in the east
and west, there ought to be no serious
difficulty in agreeing upon man who is
available. The list includes Flower and
Slocum, in addition to Cleveland and Hill
in New York, Albeit in New Jersey, Rus
sell in Massachusetts, German in Maryland,
Gray In Delaware, Pattison in Pennsyl-
| vania, Campbell in Ohio, Carlisle in Ken

When one III to think of it it seems

Of salmon perfectly fitted into it appears

larger vertebrP, melting in the mouth
without requiring so much as a crunch
between the teeth and the red flesh sep

Yet salmon would be very much
cheaper than at present were it not that
the great canners of Alaska nave formed
a combination to restrict the product.
This is unfortunate for consumers per-
haps, but lucky certainly for the fish,
which would be wiped out altogether
within five years at the most if the COM
panies engaged in their capture had a
market for all they could produce at
Upitable rates. The methods employed
