those who are not silver mine owners
where their advantage is to como in.
They will have to prove to the popu-

as valuable as one hundred cents. They
will have, to make it clear that the

THE DIFFERENCE IN QUALITY.

ut is true that Pittsburgh coal is SUI
perior for both gas and coke making to
the West Virginia article. Coke can BIO
made of tho latter, but it is of poor
quality, but for making steam and for
heating purposes generally it is supe-
rior, at tho price at which it can be laid
down at'the lake, to Pittsburgh coal.
AS l said before, tho Pennsylvania COM
pany might relieve us by reducing
freight 20 cents ton, but that is the
only thing that can save US, for tho
West Virginia miner can make as much
money mining coal there at 80 cents
ton, or even Leslie really gets but n
cent bushcl-as the Pittsburgh miner
can at 70 cents Il, ton, and ii the latter be
squeezed down to lower rate of COM
pensation the former will be reduced to
correspond"
In view OF this statement, the need OF
ship canal TO the lake is more than
ever apparent. BY canal coal could
be sent to the lake for 20 cents n ton
and ore could be brought back for the
same price, and when it is considered
that Buffalo and the lake cities cener-
ally are determined to wrest from Pitts
burgh its manufacturing supremacy if
possible. an expenditure OF Sl0,OOO,OOO
would be n nero bagatelle in the way of
prevention.

After Quay with a Mig Stick.

A movement which may give Senator
Quay trouble has been organized within
the Republican party in Pennsylvania.
The movers include some OF the fore
most men OF the State, men prominent
in business and professional life. They
nrc from every county in tho state with
a heavy representation from Philadel-
phia and Pittsburg.
In their published address they say
that they do not intend that Mr.. Quay
shall drive them out of the Republican
party. They will stay inside and see
whether they cannot drive him out Of
the senate and the control OF the party's
affairs in tho great Republican state Of
pennsylvania. They recognize his pub
lie services and think he has had ample
compensation for them. They oppose
him because OF his methods, because he
is driving good men out OF the party by
tho bad nominations he forces, by the
men he places in command under him,
by his course at homo and in the sen.
ate.
They recall that he never was for
Blaine and that in this preliminary
campaign he has pretended to DO for
Blaine in order to secure through tho
potent Blaine rallying cry delegation
which he can use in the national con-
rention.
These protesting Republicans say
they have quietly consummated thor
ough organization throughout the state
and will push the campaign to defeat
Senator Quay's reelection. 1t looks as
though they are turning to Congress
man Dalzell as their leader and the
beneficiary Of their movement.
If there DO truth in Senator Quay's
reported reconciliation with the Presi-
dent his readiness to come in out of the
wet may have been influenced by this
effort to lay him up for repairs. But
this will not quiet the malcontents.
They have enlisted for the war and will
keep up the fight until Senator Quay is
whipped or whips them.

For Their Leisure Hour.

Here are few nice little points for
our Democratic friends TO juggle. with
when they have time.
They say that the treasury has been
SO drained by Republican admiiistra-
ton that it is virtually bankrupt.
The revenues from all sources are now
no more than sufficient to meet the re-
quirements Of the government.
Wool yields customs revenues OF ST.
100000. The Democrats in the house
will pass a bill to put wool on, the free
list and cut off this revenue entirely.
They have other bills to cut off other
revenues.
Howdo they intend to raise the money
to make up for the destroyed revenues /?
