ANOrHER STRONG pRorEsT

The coal operators who met at Hotel
Roanoke yesterday, representing as
they do region where the present out
put IS 10000 tons daily, with the
chances for greatly increasing this
amount, with monetary representa-
tion Of several millions OF dollars,
are perfectly right in protesting
strongly as they have done against
placing soft coal on the froe list. 1t is
directly in line with the sentiment ex-
pressed by the president Of the Poca-
hontas Coal Company few days ago
that if this were done it would work
serious injury, if not absolute ruin, to
the industry in this great region.
Free coal means to these operators
almost complete shutting of Of the
New England and tidewater business,
which now absorbs over two-thirds of the
output OF the Pocahontas Company. 1t
means either C ON plete shutting down
OF the operations at the mines
and thereby depriving the railroads of
large part OF their freight traffic, or a

Can Congress in It's consideration Of
the Wilson bill, which will be presented
to IL next Tuesday, afford to disregard
this protest coming from source go

We believe not, and as the ienuncia-
ton OF the measure, which is wrong in
Its very Foundation, becomes more sharp
and clear from all over the South, we
trust that body will SEQ that the people
here are in earnest upon the subject,
and their wishes are not to be lightly
thrust aside.
In the recent issue of the Coal Trade
journal an interview was given with
one OF the largest land owners and coal
shippers OF Hampton Roads following
up the important subject of placing
bitnminous coal on the free list. The
following are some of the questions and
answers:

to outweigh any advantage they may
have in freight

sent to the penitentiary in the '7O's

old 'Modoc" in this place. Many
thought the sentence unjust, as he was
an fnoffensive old man and tho evidence
was not conclusive. He died in an out
house on the farm of e. w. West in
Chesterfield county, and the coroner's
jury's verdict was that he died from
exposure.

some Indications that the nomination of

Do You WANT TO HELP?-If you

ton county or Olympia at heart; or to
put it still more forcibly, to procrasti-
mating humanity. if you have your
own welfare at heart, you will secure

OF the paper, write to them or send
other documents that will aid them in
making up their mind to cast their
lot with us. You have only to tell
the truth rs you know it, and when
they come they will acknowledge like
the Queen OF Sheba that one.half the

COMFORT TO THE ENEMY.-It is un.
fortunate for the cause of woman's
equality before the law, that the ladies
having charge of a special department
at the Worlds Fair, should have be-
come involved in such bitter quarrel.
Coming as it does, on the heels OF the
disagreement of the woman's general
committee, it supplies heavy club in
the hands of opponents of woman's
enlranchisement. Men may quarrel,
and nothing is thought it. They are
not on probation, nor are their
" rights" dependent upon results. But
the disgraceful quarrels Of the ladies
at the fair will pass for all that can
be made out of them, and will tend To
convince many timid people that the
ballot in the hands of women will be
an instrument OF discord.

The Photograph.

This wonderful achievement of the
present century has been on exhibition
at 419 Main street, the past few days,
and has been the object OF much at
tention. Besides an excellent selec-
ton of humorous speeches and vocal
and instrumental pieces, familiar to
the public, few local features demon
strated the practical value OF the in
vention. Prof. Cross played "Suwanee
River" into the machine with his cor
net, and the reproduction was marvel
ously clear and distinct. One of our
citizens talked little " common sense"
into the funnel, and it was repeated
hundreds of times afterwards with
equal precision and clearness.
The phonograph is fast passing from
its undeveloped state of q scientific
toy, to device Of universal utility.
Already it has been used as the medi-
UNI for recording wills, and it is be-
coming a means of social correspond.
ence, so far mainly, between members
OF the same family, transmitting artic-
ulate instead of written language, and
bringing the voice OF loved ones to the
presence of the receiver. 1t will not
be long until it will be so perfected as
to make it the means of recording
speeches and proceedings OF delibera-
tive assemblies and courts, to catch
the sounds of nature az we do now
the shadow by the camera, and place
them at the disposal Of the public.
What long progressive step will be
taken when the grand music OF the
oratorio, or the sublime utterances OF
the worlds gifted statesmen, or the
wise sayings of the great philos-
ophers may be reproduced while
sitting in ones easy chair in the Sc
clusion OF his study, by the mere
touch of button! The dawn of this
attainment is already frightening the
horizon, and the range of uses to
which the principle involved may be
applied widens as the mind dwells
upon the theme.

Making q Record.

The Olympian- Tribune has been
engaged the past few days in demon.
strating that it has political principles,
a duty that the quality Of the service
performed shows there must be An
imperative need for, or it would have
gone unperiormed until some public
act should arise whereupon to express
its candid judgment. When it makes
mountains out Of molehills, and
set up images of straw, and knocks
them down with the manner OF q
gladiator, we are forced TO the belief
that it is only training for practice,
just as the militiamen fire blank cart
ridges on parade to accustom their ears
to the report OF firearms.
One thing our contemporary has ap-
parently been anxious to keep upper
most in the popular mind is its as
sumption that the hard times have re-
suited from and under a Democratic
rule and line of policy. To sub
stantiale such u belief, it must trust
implicitly to profound degree OF
ignorance on the part Of its readers,
for u moments reflection shows that
the Democratic policy cannot be in
stalled until q session Of Congress has
been held and the vicious legislation
is repealed which had brought about
conditions that resulted in stsgnation
of business and depression in the in
dustrial world long before Mr.. Cleve-
land was inaugurated, and indeed be-
fore the vote wa, cast which elected
him President. This very result-the
triumph of the Democratic party
was brought about by the unwise
policy that is eliminating in the dis
tress OF the people now, and it is TO
administer little Democratic medi-
cine that Congress has been called to.
gether in special session, by the uni
versal voice of the American people,
though their chosen executive.
For heaven sake, Tribune, don't
make any further attempt to deceive
in that way. The people are not
fools and cannot be deceived by such
sOphistry as you have used TO resusci'
tate buried cause.

THE following is taken from the
Oregon City Enterprise: "The Will
lamette Pulp & Paper Co., have just
received their last installment OF the
5000, 600 feet of spruce from the lower
Columbia, but find it of such good
quality for making paper that they
are having some more brought up.
This spruce makes the very best
quality of paper and the company
can start log in at the upper mill
and in fifteen hours turn out paper
ready for the printing press. Were it
not for the boiling required to reduce
the pulp it would take less than one
hour to turn log into paper, SO rapid
is the process employed"
