POSTS MAY SECEDE.

New York, April I3. Noah Farnham
post. No. 456, held i meeting last night
and decided that it would stick to its
resolution in opposition to the indiscrimi-
nate granting of pensions, even if it was
formally cast out OF the ranks Of the
Grand Army. After some correspondency
the post was declared to be in contempt
of BY laws of the order. II was finally
decided last night that Post Commander
Finn should inform the adjutant general
that it is the opinion of the post, if it is
the desire of the Grand Army Of the
Republic to pay pensions to people who
have not incurred disabilities in the
service of the country and to those who
do not need them, that the post no longer
desires to remain in the Grand Army OF
the Republic. Commander Finn was
also directed to state that If reply was
not received by or before Wednesday mex,
it will be taken for granted that the
Grand Army officials are not in sympathy
with the patriotic feeling of the post.
which will then sever its connection
with the order. George Washington
post has adopted resolutions similar to
those adopted by Farnham post. The
state encampment of Pennsylvania have
taken like action.

JOINING THE PEOPLE.

Some years ago, when the Huntington
railroad monopoly in California strangled
the Sacramento Record because its editor
dared Ut protest against the encroach-
ments by the company upon individually
liberty and refused to deliver pound
of printing material TO the Record office,
there was no little public indignition.
Such tyranical procedure, however, was
no more an offence against the individual
liberty supposed TO be dominant in this
republic than is the tyranny of the coal
combination as revealed by the testimony
now taken by committee of the legis-
lature
One OF the strongest witnesses is John
Goodnow, of this city. His testimony
yesterday was strongly contirmatory OF
all the differences which have been
naturally drawn from the contents Of
Rhodes letter book. His testimony alone
shows how entirely the retail coal dealer
has, under the enormous usurpation
Of imperial power by the combine.
become the mechanical jumping jack Of
the ..bureau." Any deviation from the
selling price of coal fixed by the coal
almightiaesses was punished by absolute
refusal to supply the rebel with coal and
the deliberate crushing of his business
Mr.. Sylvester, of Minneapolis, also testi-
fed to the same effect. Hes like others
could get no coal TO sell unless he bent
the supple hinges Of his knee to the
Antharacite Jove.
These combinations Of men to control
commodities, essential to the comfort and
health of the public are as antagonistic
to the spirit of American institutions as
would be the setting up of the old Span
ish inquisition with Torquemada to
to run 1t. These men forget that, while
the American people are long-suffering
they will not prepetually submit to IN
Justice any more than the fathers submit
ed 10 the much lighter lmpositions of
Great Britain during the last century.
The com biners may hold existing laws in
contempt and assume that the people
will submit to further indignities; but
the storm is coming and will utterly over
whelm them The people of the United
States can. and will have laws made
which Will be as so many Damascene
blades cutting asunder the joints OF every
unlawful ombination; cutting them off,
indeed, root and branch.-Minneapolis
