THE ANTHRACITE MoNoroLY.

Ii Is little singular that if the tariff
breeds trusts and combinations, as our free
trade friends say. the most powerful trusts
In the United States should be for the con-
troll OF the production Of articles that are
admitted into the United States free of duty.
The CALL has already referred 10 the oil
trust and the sugar trust. and now comes
the report that the Vanderbits have gained
almost complete control Of the production
of anthracite coal in this country. There is
light duty on soft coal, but the variety
known as anthracite is admitted free. So
are the products petroleum and raw sugar.
If there was duty Of dollar ton on hard
coal the assertion would be made with great
positiVeness that without the duty this re-
ported monopoly would be impossible.

TIE BERING SEA CASE,

A French ex-Minister has expressed the
opinion that the case the United States has
submitted to arbitration in the matter of Ber-
ing Sea is weak and will probably be de-
cided in favor of England. The French ex-
Minister'S opinion is shared by most of the
New York papers. II should be borne I'm
mind. however, that the points submitted
include the inquiry rather as to the right
purchased OF Russia than the absolute right
to hold Bering Sea as closed sea- What
did the United States buy of Russia, and
what was recognized as Boring Sea in dip
lomatlc correspondence on that subject !?
There is the further point whether, in case
the exclusive jurisdiction Of the United
States over that sea is not admitted, this
Government may not protect seal life in its
natural journeys across the sea.

This amounts to nothing more than that
England does not extend its favors to
Canada quite as freely as the World would
have It, Canada will cling to the mother
country just so long as that country uses its
money TO snbsidize various Canadian pro-
jects. There is also class Of persons who
talk in favor of annexation to the United
States, but this is nothing but talk. Can
ada, SO far as the United States is con-
cerned, would be Of little use to us, but to
Canada it would mean an important gain

JURORS.

One Of our newspaper contemporaries is
now criticlzing our present Grand Jury.
There has been such a curious way of Sc
lecting grand and petty jurors in San Fran
cisco for some time past that it will surprise
no one that affairs are in bad condition.
THE CALL had reason TO believe at one
time that Buckley had control of several
members of a Grand Jury. 1t is time that
the press of San Francisco paid some atten-
ton TO the personnel of juries. when it can
be shown that criminal has been turned
loose who even confessed his guilt liz open
court,

is undoubtedly established, but hundreds of
people who have flocked to the spot upon
first publication of the news would have
done much better by staying at home. 1t is,
unfortunately, siugularly easy in California
to arouse wild excitement and preposterous
creduity by a reported mining strike. In
this instance the richness and extent Of the
lodges Were much exaggerated, the fact
being that only Il few men who were first
on the ground will gain by the discovery,

that any one will make q fnrtnne

Walker to send forward this assurance.

In the early summer of 1886 the writer
met ex-senator William III. Barnum upon
a trip which he was making to inspect the
railroad owned by corporation of which
he was president. 1t was the Housatonic
railroad in Connecticut, which has since
then gained something of Importance in
the financial world by reason of the part
which it has played in the relations be-
tween the New York & New England and
the New York Il New Haven railroad cor
porations. Senator Barnum was in quite
a chatty mood, so that as We waited at the
station in New Milford. Conn, for q train
to come along he was quite willing to chat
about politics, although he was usually
one of the most taciturn Of men. During
his long career as chairman of the Demo-
cratic national committee Senator Bar
mum gained a reputation for silence
which was qaite as great in the immediate
circle with which he was associated rs that
which General Grant secured during the
war.
Among other questions asked the sena-
tor was, what in his experience was the
chief danger for the manager of q national
campaign to guard against. The senator

were so many and so insidious that it was

perhaps the greatest danger during Q
canvass lies in the candidate himself"
For some moments after making this re-
mark Senator Barnum was silent, seeming
to be recalling memories of experiences of
his own. He had q broad field for such

Fatal Campaign Letters.

In the opinion of the politicians of that
time. some of whom, like the venerable
Benjamin Silliman, are still living, Mr..
Clay ought to have been elected president.
His party was in splendid discipline 1t
had nominated him with enthusiasm and
with sucn acclaim as of itself gave great
inspiration to the canvass. The campaign
was splendidiy managed. In New York
state Thurlow Weed and Seward and Fill
more directed the canvass with exceeding
skill, and it was admitted that then as now
New York was to be the battle ground.
Mr.. Clay as the candidate had been
needing wisely the counsels of those who
managed the campaign, but in an unfortu-
nate moment took up the pen to write to
an Alabama friend and a needless express
sion slipped into the letter respecting the
admission of Texas which cost Mr.. Clay
the vote OF New York state.
Alter this experience the managers of
presidential campaigns made the candi-
dates virtually prisoners. 1t had been
demonstrated that no matter how wise a
man might be before receiving the nomi-
nation he became after obtaining such
honor exactly in the position of the law
yer who makes himself his own client or
the phys cian who undertakes to dag
nose his own case. General Taylor was
allowed To write no letters, and the only
one which was issued during the cam
paign over his signature was prepared
by Ihuriow Weed. Willard Fillmore and
William Ill. Seward. Franklin Pierce re-
manned IN absolute retirement, saying
nothing during the canvass, nor did Gen
eral Scott seemingly pay any more heed
To the campaign than General Grant
did during his iirst canvass for the presi-
dency. Buchanan had been minister TO
England for four years, much to the Joy
of the politicians who managed his can
vass, and Fremont. though impulsiye, was
kept within discreet bounds by the young
Republican politicians who had charge of
his campaign.
