Probably if the truth were known it
would appear that Secretary Carlisle
practiced upon the steering committee
in regard to the Presidents attitude re-
garding the silver compromise than any
body else. Carlisle is a natural COM
promiser, and hates above all things a
straight fight. Furthermore he has al
ways had a weak side for silver. Doubt
less he wanted the President to accept
the compromise, and probably reasoned
that if it gained the signatures of nearly
all the Democratic Senators he would do
30. Hence he encouraged 1.-The arrange

him The story strikes us as altogether
improbable and as done from the stand
point OF imagination wholly, rather than
anylre-illumining of facts and expert

the author that, granting this, he
achieved an exciting little romance,
which holds the attention from the first
word to the last and is study of types.

True Riches, by Francois Coppee, illus
trates that saying so much more glibly
uttered by those in comfortable circum-
stances than by the inhabitants of
Poverty Flat" that money is by no
means-an essential to happiness. Certainly
this is true but we are, apt in illnesssand
disaster to feel that it is a large contribu-
tor to peace of mind.
In these brief sketches the author really
demonstrates the fact that till we know
their true value. riches stultify the natur-
al talents and are often wastefully and
foolishly used. The poet, the teacher,
the artist, the titled wording, all testify
by their lives before and after" to the
truth that money mars as we'll as makes.

The New York election derives it's chief
interest from the candidacy of Isaac H.
Maynard for judge of the Court of APP
peals. Maynard S nomination was forced
by Tammany and the Hill machine
against the protest of great many of
the more reputable Democrats and in
face of the opposition of many important
and influential Democratic journals A
candidate nominated under such circum-
stances would in most States be a weak
candidate, and his defeat at the polls
could be looked forward to as highly
probable. But the history of New York
elections of late years rather tends to
show that Democratic candidate of
somewhat shady reputation really at
tracts the voters of that party better
than clean one. Tammany and the
Brooklyn ring always put out more effort
in behalf of such a candidate, and any
losses he encounters by reason of the
disaffection of respectable Democrats is
likely to be more than made good by
the increased outpouring of the slums
of the big cities. We suspect that will
be the case in regard to Maynard. What
Hill calls the "dudes" and "Mugwump
Democrats" will cut him in considerab BILE
numbers, but the Tammany slum vote
reinforced by reporters and men colon
lied from neighboring States will make
up the deficiency. Tammany has clearly
got control of the city, and the legislative
and executive branches of the State. Ii
it succeeds in electing Maynard it will
have made good beginning in getting
control of the judiciary, and it's ultimate
success will be only question of time,
unless, what is not likely, there should
be an uprising against it amounting al.
most to a revolution.

TO IMPORT COAL.
A Reported Movement to Bring Anthra
rIta Erorn WaIea

A Reported Movement to Bring Anthra-
cite From wales.
Coal men of Philadelphia are greatly
interested in two projects that are expected
to be under way soon. The export of soft
coal to England from this country, and the
importation into this country OF anthracite
from Wales. Simpson, Spence & Co., aLondon
firm, have already charatered a steamship to
load cargo Of bituminous coal at this port,
but the freigbtage to be paid, about S312, is
considered by dealers too high to permit Of
any considerable trade being built up
Regarding the anthracite, the story is that
a contract has been nearly concluded for
bringing here 100000 tons of hard coal from
Wales. The price on board at Cardiff and
other Welsh points is said to be s5 cents a
ton though this seems very low figure
The freightage will certainly be as great as
that on soft coal, making the cost per ton in
I American waters about Si Add to this Oh G
cost Of unloading and the retailers expense
and profits, and it is difficult to see how the
] foreign coal can undersell the Pennsylvania
product.
There are apparently some people who
think this can be done, however, the editor
Of the Engineering and Mining World, is
quoted as saying
81 know that negotiations have been pend
| ing for a long time to arrange for the steady
importation into this country Of Welsh an
thracite and believe that the contracts will
be shortly signed. There is no reason why
the plan should not succeed The supply in
Wales is very large, practically unlimited
It is an excellent steam coal, and at tn,
prices mentioned would no doubt max,
serious inroads into the market for anthra
cite and even bituminous coal used for steam
making. The presence Of this fuel in oui
market will cause our coal kings to consider
more favorably the demand of our anthra
cite miners for lower tolls to tidewater."
Some of the largest dealers in Phiadel
phia, New York, Boston and Baltimore ar,
said to be interested in the plan for importing
anthracite.

Many stories of Setley's life were told on
the streets last night, one of which goes TO
show the amount of grit his anatomy con-
tains One day while in Philadelphia he
became dead broke" and all resour ,es seemed
exhausted. In glancing over the "want'
columns Of a newspaper his eyes fell upon an
advertisement for young man experienced
in operating typewriter. Setey hurried to
the address given and made such a convinc-
ing statement of his fitness for the place that
the advertiser told him to step into the Office
and make himself at home. Everything
went Lovely for several hours and Setley was
Congratulating himself upon having once
more chased the wolf from his door, when
the employer appeared with several pages of
manuscript and told Setley to rattle them of
on the typewriter as fast as he could work his
fugers. Setey had never seen a typewriter
before he entered the Office, but he took the
manuscript and glanced over it. Then he
tn pped few keys of the machine and his
nerve gave way. Pulling himself together
he turned to the business msn and said,
Excuse me, sir but you have ma dead.
The business man did not under
stand and asked for an explanation
to which setley replied, well the truth is
I'm dead broke and I'm not able to earn a
cent by working this machine" The gentle.
man expressed much surprise and asked
Setley why he should hope to make any
money by undertaking work he did moi
understand, and Setley once more replied
cit was this way. l did not expect you
would give me anything to do the first day
and ] expected that ON the second day, wher
YOU would find / couldn't work the machine
you would fire me with one days wages.
